< Acts 26 >

1 And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence:
تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پَولَمْ اَوادِیتْ، نِجاں کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں تُبھْیَمْ اَنُمَتِ رْدِییَتے۔ تَسْماتْ پَولَح کَرَں پْرَسارْیَّ سْوَسْمِنْ اُتَّرَمْ اَوادِیتْ۔
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defence before thee this day touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews:
ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ یَتْکارَنادَہَں یِہُودِییَیرَپَوادِتو بھَوَں تَسْیَ ورِتّانْتَمْ اَدْیَ بھَوَتَح ساکْشانْ نِویدَیِتُمَنُمَتوہَمْ اِدَں سْوِییَں پَرَمَں بھاگْیَں مَنْیے؛
3 especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
یَتو یِہُودِییَلوکاناں مَدھْیے یا یا رِیتِح سُوکْشْمَوِچاراشْچَ سَنْتِ تیشُ بھَوانْ وِجْنَتَمَح؛ اَتَایوَ پْرارْتھَیے دھَیرْیَّمَوَلَمْبْیَ مَمَ نِویدَنَں شرِنوتُ۔
4 My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation, and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
اَہَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرے سْوَدیشِییَلوکاناں مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنْ آ یَووَنَکالادْ یَدْرُوپَمْ آچَرِتَوانْ تَدْ یِہُودِییَلوکاح سَرْوّے وِدَنْتِ۔
5 having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, how that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
اَسْماکَں سَرْوّیبھْیَح شُدّھَتَمَں یَتْ پھِرُوشِییَمَتَں تَدَوَلَمْبِی بھُوتْواہَں کالَں یاپِتَوانْ یے جَنا آ بالْیَکالانْ ماں جانانْتِ تے ایتادرِشَں ساکْشْیَں یَدِ دَداتِ تَرْہِ داتُں شَکْنُوَنْتِ۔
6 And now I stand [here] to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;
کِنْتُ ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ اِیشْوَروسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشاناں نِکَٹے یَدْ اَنْگِیکرِتَوانْ تَسْیَ پْرَتْیاشاہیتورَہَمْ اِدانِیں وِچارَسْتھانے دَنْڈایَمانوسْمِ۔
7 unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, earnestly serving [God] night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!
تَسْیانْگِیکارَسْیَ پھَلَں پْراپْتُمْ اَسْماکَں دْوادَشَوَںشا دِوانِشَں مَہایَتْنادْ اِیشْوَرَسیوَنَں کرِتْوا یاں پْرَتْیاشاں کُرْوَّنْتِ تَسْیاح پْرَتْیاشایا ہیتورَہَں یِہُودِییَیرَپَوادِتوبھَوَمْ۔
8 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?
اِیشْوَرو مرِتانْ اُتّھاپَیِشْیَتِیتِ واکْیَں یُشْماکَں نِکَٹےسَمْبھَوَں کُتو بھَویتْ؟
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
ناسَرَتِییَیِیشو رْنامْنو وِرُدّھَں ناناپْرَکارَپْرَتِکُولاچَرَنَمْ اُچِتَمْ اِتْیَہَں مَنَسِ یَتھارْتھَں وِجْنایَ
10 And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my vote against them.
یِرُوشالَمَنَگَرے تَدَکَرَوَں پھَلَتَح پْرَدھانَیاجَکَسْیَ نِکَٹاتْ کْشَمَتاں پْراپْیَ بَہُونْ پَوِتْرَلوکانْ کارایاں بَدّھَوانْ وِشیشَتَسْتیشاں ہَنَنَسَمَیے تیشاں وِرُدّھاں نِجاں سَمَّتِں پْرَکاشِتَوانْ۔
11 And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
وارَں وارَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنیشُ تیبھْیو دَنْڈَں پْرَدَتَّوانْ بَلاتْ تَں دھَرْمَّں نِنْدَیِتَواںشْچَ پُنَشْچَ تانْ پْرَتِ مَہاکْرودھادْ اُنْمَتَّح سَنْ وِدیشِییَنَگَرانِ یاوَتْ تانْ تاڈِتَوانْ۔
12 Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
اِتّھَں پْرَدھانَیاجَکَسْیَ سَمِیپاتْ شَکْتِمْ آجْناپَتْرَنْچَ لَبْدھْوا دَمّیشَکْنَگَرَں گَتَوانْ۔
13 at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.
تَداہَں ہے راجَنْ مارْگَمَدھْیے مَدھْیاہْنَکالے مَمَ مَدِییَسَنْگِناں لوکانانْچَ چَتَسرِشُ دِکْشُ گَگَناتْ پْرَکاشَماناں بھاسْکَرَتوپِ تیجَسْوَتِیں دِیپْتِں درِشْٹَوانْ۔
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
تَسْمادْ اَسْماسُ سَرْوّیشُ بھُومَو پَتِتیشُ سَتْسُ ہے شَولَ ہَے شَولَ کُتو ماں تاڈَیَسِ؟ کَنْٹَکاناں مُکھے پاداہَنَنَں تَوَ دُحسادھْیَمْ اِبْرِییَبھاشَیا گَدِتَ ایتادرِشَ ایکَح شَبْدو مَیا شْرُتَح۔
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
تَداہَں پرِشْٹَوانْ ہے پْرَبھو کو بھَوانْ؟ تَتَح سَ کَتھِتَوانْ یَں یِیشُں تْوَں تاڈَیَسِ سوہَں،
16 But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;
کِنْتُ سَمُتِّشْٹھَ تْوَں یَدْ درِشْٹَوانْ اِتَح پُنَنْچَ یَدْیَتْ تْواں دَرْشَیِشْیامِ تیشاں سَرْوّیشاں کارْیّاناں تْواں ساکْشِنَں مَمَ سیوَکَنْچَ کَرْتُّمْ دَرْشَنَمْ اَدامْ۔
17 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,
وِشیشَتو یِہُودِییَلوکیبھْیو بھِنَّجاتِیییبھْیَشْچَ تْواں مَنونِیتَں کرِتْوا تیشاں یَتھا پاپَموچَنَں بھَوَتِ
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
یَتھا تے مَیِ وِشْوَسْیَ پَوِتْرِیکرِتاناں مَدھْیے بھاگَں پْراپْنُوَنْتِ تَدَبھِپْرایینَ تیشاں جْنانَچَکْشُوںشِ پْرَسَنّانِ کَرْتُّں تَتھانْدھَکارادْ دِیپْتِں پْرَتِ شَیتانادھِکاراچَّ اِیشْوَرَں پْرَتِ مَتِیح پَراوَرْتَّیِتُں تیشاں سَمِیپَں تْواں پْریشْیامِ۔
19 Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ ایتادرِشَں سْوَرْگِییَپْرَتْیادیشَں اَگْراہْیَمْ اَکرِتْواہَں
20 but declared both to them of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
پْرَتھَمَتو دَمّیشَکْنَگَرے تَتو یِرُوشالَمِ سَرْوَّسْمِنْ یِہُودِییَدیشے اَنْییشُ دیشیشُ چَ یےنَ لوکا مَتِں پَراوَرْتّیَ اِیشْوَرَں پْرَتِ پَراوَرْتَّیَنْتے، مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَیوگْیانِ کَرْمّانِ چَ کُرْوَّنْتِ تادرِشَمْ اُپَدیشَں پْرَچارِتَوانْ۔
21 For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.
ایتَتْکارَنادْ یِہُودِییا مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں ماں دھرِتْوا ہَنْتُمْ اُدْیَتاح۔
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;
تَتھاپِ کھْرِیشْٹو دُحکھَں بھُکْتْوا سَرْوّیشاں پُورْوَّں شْمَشانادْ اُتّھایَ نِجَدیشِییاناں بھِنَّدیشِییانانْچَ سَمِیپے دِیپْتِں پْرَکاشَیِشْیَتِ
23 how that the Christ must suffer, [and] how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.
بھَوِشْیَدْوادِگَنو مُوساشْچَ بھاوِکارْیَّسْیَ یَدِدَں پْرَمانَمْ اَدَدُریتَدْ وِنانْیاں کَتھاں نَ کَتھَیِتْوا اِیشْوَرادْ اَنُگْرَہَں لَبْدھْوا مَہَتاں کْشُدْرانانْچَ سَرْوّیشاں سَمِیپے پْرَمانَں دَتّوادْیَ یاوَتْ تِشْٹھامِ۔
24 And as he thus made his defence, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning doth turn thee to madness.
تَسْیَماں کَتھاں نِشَمْیَ پھِیشْٹَ اُچَّیح سْوَرینَ کَتھِتَوانْ ہے پَولَ تْوَمْ اُنْمَتّوسِ بَہُوِدْیابھْیاسینَ تْوَں ہَتَجْنانو جاتَح۔
25 But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.
سَ اُکْتَوانْ ہے مَہامَہِمَ پھِیشْٹَ ناہَمْ اُنْمَتَّح کِنْتُ سَتْیَں وِویچَنِییَنْچَ واکْیَں پْرَسْتَومِ۔
26 For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.
یَسْیَ ساکْشادْ اَکْشوبھَح سَنْ کَتھاں کَتھَیامِ سَ راجا تَدْورِتّانْتَں جاناتِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپے کِمَپِ گُپْتَں نیتِ مَیا نِشْچِتَں بُدھْیَتے یَتَسْتَدْ وِجَنے نَ کرِتَں۔
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ بھَوانْ کِں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِگَنوکْتانِ واکْیانِ پْرَتْییتِ؟ بھَوانْ پْرَتْییتِ تَدَہَں جانامِ۔
28 And Agrippa [said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.
تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پَولَمْ اَبھِہِتَوانْ تْوَں پْرَورِتِّں جَنَیِتْوا پْرایینَ مامَپِ کھْرِیشْٹِییَں کَروشِ۔
29 And Paul [said], I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.
تَتَح سووادِیتْ بھَوانْ یے یے لوکاشْچَ مَمَ کَتھامْ اَدْیَ شرِنْوَنْتِ پْرایینَ اِتِ نَہِ کِنْتْویتَتْ شرِنْکھَلَبَنْدھَنَں وِنا سَرْوَّتھا تے سَرْوّے مادرِشا بھَوَنْتْوِتِیشْوَسْیَ سَمِیپے پْرارْتھَیےہَمْ۔
30 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
ایتَسْیاں کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں سَ راجا سودھِپَتِ رْبَرْنِیکِی سَبھاسْتھا لوکاشْچَ تَسْمادْ اُتّھایَ
31 and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
گوپَنے پَرَسْپَرَں وِوِچْیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَ ایشَ جَنو بَنْدھَنارْہَں پْرانَہَنَنارْہَں وا کِمَپِ کَرْمَّ ناکَروتْ۔
32 And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پھِیشْٹَمْ اَوَدَتْ، یَدْییشَ مانُشَح کَیسَرَسْیَ نِکَٹے وِچارِتو بھَوِتُں نَ پْرارْتھَیِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ مُکْتو بھَوِتُمْ اَشَکْشْیَتْ۔
