< Acts 24 >

1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and [with] an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
پَنْچَبھْیو دِنیبھْیَح پَرَں ہَنانِییَناما مَہایاجَکودھِپَتیح سَمَکْشَں پَولَسْیَ پْراتِکُولْیینَ نِویدَیِتُں تَرْتُلَّنامانَں کَنْچَنَ وَکْتارَں پْراچِینَجَناںشْچَ سَنْگِنَح کرِتْوا کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ۔
2 And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by thy providence evils are corrected for this nation,
تَتَح پَولے سَمانِیتے سَتِ تَرْتُلَّسْتَسْیاپَوادَکَتھاں کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ ہے مَہامَہِمَپھِیلِکْشَ بھَوَتو وَیَمْ اَتِنِرْوِّگھْنَں کالَں یاپَیامو بھَوَتَح پَرِنامَدَرْشِتَیا ایتَدّیشِییاناں بَہُونِ مَنْگَلانِ گھَٹِتانِ،
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
اِتِ ہیتو رْوَیَمَتِکرِتَجْناح سَنْتَح سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوَّدا بھَوَتو گُنانْ گایَمَح۔
4 But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.
کِنْتُ بَہُبھِح کَتھابھِ رْبھَوَنْتَں یینَ نَ وِرَنْجَیامِ تَسْمادْ وِنَیے بھَوانْ بَنُکَمْپْیَ مَدَلْپَکَتھاں شرِنوتُ۔
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
ایشَ مَہامارِیسْوَرُوپو ناسَرَتِییَمَتَگْراہِسَںگھاتَسْیَ مُکھْیو بھُوتْوا سَرْوَّدیشیشُ سَرْوّیشاں یِہُودِییاناں راجَدْروہاچَرَنَپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیَتِیتْیَسْمابھِ رْنِشْچِتَں۔
6 who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold:
سَ مَنْدِرَمَپِ اَشُچِ کَرْتُّں چیشْٹِتَوانْ؛ اِتِ کارَنادْ وَیَمْ اینَں دھرِتْوا سْوَوْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ وِچارَیِتُں پْراوَرْتّامَہِ؛
7
کِنْتُ لُشِیَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِراگَتْیَ بَلادْ اَسْماکَں کَریبھْیَ اینَں گرِہِیتْوا
8 from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
ایتَسْیاپَوادَکانْ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ آگَنْتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْ۔ وَیَں یَسْمِنْ تَمَپَوادامو بھَوَتا پَدَپَوادَکَتھایاں وِچارِتایاں سَتْیاں سَرْوَّں ورِتّانْتَں ویدِتُں شَکْشْیَتے۔
9 And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.
تَتو یِہُودِییا اَپِ سْوِیکرِتْیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَ ایشا کَتھا پْرَمانَمْ۔
10 And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do cheerfully make my defence:
اَدھِپَتَو کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں پَولَں پْرَتِینْگِتَں کرِتَوَتِ سَ کَتھِتَوانْ بھَوانْ بَہُونْ وَتْسَرانْ یاوَدْ ایتَدّیشَسْیَ شاسَنَں کَروتِیتِ وِجْنایَ پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُمْ اَکْشوبھوبھَوَمْ۔
11 seeing that thou canst take knowledge, that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:
اَدْیَ کیوَلَں دْوادَشَ دِنانِ یاتانِ، اَہَمْ آرادھَناں کَرْتُّں یِرُوشالَمَنَگَرَں گَتَوانْ ایشا کَتھا بھَوَتا جْناتُں شَکْیَتے؛
12 and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.
کِنْتْوِبھے ماں مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں کیناپِ سَہَ وِتَنْڈاں کُرْوَّنْتَں کُتْراپِ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے نَگَرے وا لوکانْ کُپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیَنْتُں نَ درِشْٹَوَنْتَح۔
13 Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
اِدانِیں یَسْمِنْ یَسْمِنْ مامْ اَپَوَدَنْتے تَسْیَ کِمَپِ پْرَمانَں داتُں نَ شَکْنُوَنْتِ۔
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets:
کِنْتُ بھَوِشْیَدْواکْیَگْرَنْتھے وْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھے چَ یا یا کَتھا لِکھِتاسْتے تاسُ سَرْوّاسُ وِشْوَسْیَ یَنْمَتَمْ اِمے وِدھَرْمَّں جانَنْتِ تَنْمَتانُساریناہَں نِجَپِترِپُرُشانامْ اِیشْوَرَمْ آرادھَیامِیتْیَہَں بھَوَتَح سَمَکْشَمْ اَنْگِیکَرومِ۔
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.
دھارْمِّکانامْ اَدھارْمِّکانانْچَ پْرَمِیتَلوکانامیووتّھانَں بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ کَتھامِمے سْوِیکُرْوَّنْتِ تَتھاہَمَپِ تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرے پْرَتْیاشاں کَرومِ؛
16 Herein do I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men alway.
اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچَ سَمِیپے یَتھا نِرْدوشو بھَوامِ تَدَرْتھَں سَتَتَں یَتْنَوانْ اَسْمِ۔
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:
بَہُشُ وَتْسَریشُ گَتیشُ سْوَدیشِییَلوکاناں نِمِتَّں دانِییَدْرَوْیانِ نَیویدْیانِ چَ سَمادایَ پُنَراگَمَنَں کرِتَوانْ۔
18 amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia—
تَتوہَں شُچِ رْبھُوتْوا لوکاناں سَماگَمَں کَلَہَں وا نَ کارِتَوانْ تَتھاپْیاشِیادیشِییاح کِیَنْتو یِہُدِییَلوکا مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں ماں دھرِتَوَنْتَح۔
19 who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me.
مَموپَرِ یَدِ کاچِدَپَوادَکَتھاسْتِ تَرْہِ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تیشامیوَ ساکْشْیَدانَمْ اُچِتَمْ۔
20 Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found, when I stood before the council,
نوچیتْ پُورْوّے مَہاسَبھاسْتھاناں لوکاناں سَنِّدھَو مَمَ دَنْڈایَمانَتْوَسَمَیے، اَہَمَدْیَ مرِتانامُتّھانے یُشْمابھِ رْوِچارِتوسْمِ،
21 except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day.
تیشاں مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنَّہَں یامِماں کَتھامُچَّیح سْوَرینَ کَتھِتَوانْ تَدَنْیو مَمَ کوپِ دوشولَبھْیَتَ نَ ویتِ وَرَمْ ایتے سَمُپَسْتھِتَلوکا وَدَنْتُ۔
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.
تَدا پھِیلِکْشَ ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا تَنْمَتَسْیَ وِشیشَورِتّانْتَں وِجْناتُں وِچارَں سْتھَگِتَں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ لُشِیے سَہَسْرَسیناپَتَو سَمایاتے سَتِ یُشْماکَں وِچارَمْ اَہَں نِشْپادَیِشْیامِ۔
23 And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him.
اَنَنْتَرَں بَنْدھَنَں وِنا پَولَں رَکْشِتُں تَسْیَ سیوَنایَ ساکْشاتْکَرَنایَ وا تَدِییاتْمِییَبَنْدھُجَنانْ نَ وارَیِتُنْچَ شَمَسیناپَتِمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔
24 But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, which was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
اَلْپَدِناتْ پَرَں پھِیلِکْشودھِپَتِ رْدْرُشِلّانامْنا یِہُودِییَیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا سَہاگَتْیَ پَولَماہُویَ تَسْیَ مُکھاتْ کھْرِیشْٹَدھَرْمَّسْیَ ورِتّانْتَمْ اَشْرَوشِیتْ۔
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.
پَولینَ نْیایَسْیَ پَرِمِتَبھوگَسْیَ چَرَمَوِچارَسْیَ چَ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں سَتْیاں پھِیلِکْشَح کَمْپَمانَح سَنْ وْیاہَرَدْ اِدانِیں یاہِ، اَہَمْ اَوَکاشَں پْراپْیَ تْوامْ آہُوسْیامِ۔
26 He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
مُکْتِپْرَپْتْیَرْتھَں پَولینَ مَہْیَں مُدْراداسْیَنْتے اِتِ پَتْیاشاں کرِتْوا سَ پُنَح پُنَسْتَماہُویَ تینَ ساکَں کَتھوپَکَتھَنَں کرِتَوانْ۔
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favour with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
کِنْتُ وَتْسَرَدْوَیاتْ پَرَں پَرْکِیَپھِیشْٹَ پھالِکْشَسْیَ پَدَں پْراپْتے سَتِ پھِیلِکْشو یِہُودِییانْ سَنْتُشْٹانْ چِکِیرْشَنْ پَولَں بَدّھَں سَںسْتھاپْیَ گَتَوانْ۔
