< Acts 4 >

1 As Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came to them,
yasmin samayē pitarayōhanau lōkān upadiśatastasmin samayē yājakā mandirasya sēnāpatayaḥ sidūkīgaṇaśca
2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
tayōr upadēśakaraṇē khrīṣṭasyōtthānam upalakṣya sarvvēṣāṁ mr̥tānām utthānaprastāvē ca vyagrāḥ santastāvupāgaman|
3 So they arrested them and took them into custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
tau dhr̥tvā dināvasānakāraṇāt paradinaparyyanantaṁ ruddhvā sthāpitavantaḥ|
4 But many who heard the word believed, and the number of men who believed came to about five thousand.
tathāpi yē lōkāstayōrupadēśam aśr̥ṇvan tēṣāṁ prāyēṇa pañcasahasrāṇi janā vyaśvasan|
5 On the next day, the rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
parē'hani adhipatayaḥ prācīnā adhyāpakāśca hānananāmā mahāyājakaḥ
6 along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were members of the high-priestly family.
kiyaphā yōhan sikandara ityādayō mahāyājakasya jñātayaḥ sarvvē yirūśālamnagarē militāḥ|
7 After making Peter and John stand before them, they began to question them: “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
anantaraṁ prēritau madhyē sthāpayitvāpr̥cchan yuvāṁ kayā śaktayā vā kēna nāmnā karmmāṇyētāni kuruthaḥ?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
tadā pitaraḥ pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san pratyavādīt, hē lōkānām adhipatigaṇa hē isrāyēlīyaprācīnāḥ,
9 if we are being examined today about a good deed done to a disabled man and by what means he has been healed,
ētasya durbbalamānuṣasya hitaṁ yat karmmākriyata, arthāt, sa yēna prakārēṇa svasthōbhavat taccēd adyāvāṁ pr̥cchatha,
10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead.
tarhi sarvva isrāyēlīyalōkā yūyaṁ jānīta nāsaratīyō yō yīśukhrīṣṭaḥ kruśē yuṣmābhiravidhyata yaścēśvarēṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaḥ, tasya nāmnā janōyaṁ svasthaḥ san yuṣmākaṁ sammukhē prōttiṣṭhati|
11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
nicētr̥bhi ryuṣmābhirayaṁ yaḥ prastarō'vajñātō'bhavat sa pradhānakōṇasya prastarō'bhavat|
12 There is salvation in no other, for there is no other name given among men by which we must be saved.”
tadbhinnādaparāt kasmādapi paritrāṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknōti, yēna trāṇaṁ prāpyēta bhūmaṇḍalasyalōkānāṁ madhyē tādr̥śaṁ kimapi nāma nāsti|
13 When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and when they realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.
tadā pitarayōhanōrētādr̥śīm akṣēbhatāṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tāvavidvāṁsau nīcalōkāviti buddhvā āścaryyam amanyanta tau ca yīśōḥ saṅginau jātāviti jñātum aśaknuvan|
14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in opposition.
kintu tābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ taṁ svasthamānuṣaṁ tiṣṭhantaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tē kāmapyaparām āpattiṁ karttaṁ nāśaknun|
15 So they ordered Peter and John to step out from the Sanhedrin while they conferred with one another,
tadā tē sabhātaḥ sthānāntaraṁ gantuṁ tān ājñāpya svayaṁ parasparam iti mantraṇāmakurvvan
16 saying, “What should we do with these men? For it is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them, and we cannot deny it.
tau mānavau prati kiṁ karttavyaṁ? tāvēkaṁ prasiddham āścaryyaṁ karmma kr̥tavantau tad yirūśālamnivāsināṁ sarvvēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ samīpē prākāśata tacca vayamapahnōtuṁ na śaknumaḥ|
17 But so that it may not spread any further among the people, we will strictly warn them to speak no more in this name to any of the people.”
kintu lōkānāṁ madhyam ētad yathā na vyāpnōti tadarthaṁ tau bhayaṁ pradarśya tēna nāmnā kamapi manuṣyaṁ nōpadiśatam iti dr̥ḍhaṁ niṣēdhāmaḥ|
18 Then they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
tatastē prēritāvāhūya ētadājñāpayan itaḥ paraṁ yīśō rnāmnā kadāpi kāmapi kathāṁ mā kathayataṁ kimapi nōpadiśañca|
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge.
tataḥ pitarayōhanau pratyavadatām īśvarasyājñāgrahaṇaṁ vā yuṣmākam ājñāgrahaṇam ētayō rmadhyē īśvarasya gōcarē kiṁ vihitaṁ? yūyaṁ tasya vivēcanāṁ kuruta|
20 For we cannot help but speak about what we have seen and heard.”
vayaṁ yad apaśyāma yadaśr̥ṇuma ca tanna pracārayiṣyāma ētat kadāpi bhavituṁ na śaknōti|
21 So after threatening Peter and John further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
yadaghaṭata tad dr̥ṣṭā sarvvē lōkā īśvarasya guṇān anvavadan tasmāt lōkabhayāt tau daṇḍayituṁ kamapyupāyaṁ na prāpya tē punarapi tarjayitvā tāvatyajan|
22 For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
yasya mānuṣasyaitat svāsthyakaraṇam āścaryyaṁ karmmākriyata tasya vayaścatvāriṁśadvatsarā vyatītāḥ|
23 After being released, Peter and John went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
tataḥ paraṁ tau visr̥ṣṭau santau svasaṅgināṁ sannidhiṁ gatvā pradhānayājakaiḥ prācīnalōkaiśca prōktāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā jñāpitavantau|
24 When they heard this, they lifted up their voices with one accord to God and said, “Master, yoʋ are God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
tacchrutvā sarvva ēkacittībhūya īśvaramuddiśya prōccairētat prārthayanta, hē prabhō gagaṇapr̥thivīpayōdhīnāṁ tēṣu ca yadyad āstē tēṣāṁ sraṣṭēśvarastvaṁ|
25 It is yoʋ who said through the mouth of yoʋr servant David, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot foolish things?
tvaṁ nijasēvakēna dāyūdā vākyamidam uvacitha, manuṣyā anyadēśīyāḥ kurvvanti kalahaṁ kutaḥ| lōkāḥ sarvvē kimarthaṁ vā cintāṁ kurvvanti niṣphalāṁ|
26 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers are gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed.’
paramēśasya tēnaivābhiṣiktasya janasya ca| viruddhamabhitiṣṭhanti pr̥thivyāḥ patayaḥ kutaḥ||
27 For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against yoʋr holy servant Jesus, whom yoʋ anointed,
phalatastava hastēna mantraṇayā ca pūrvva yadyat sthirīkr̥taṁ tad yathā siddhaṁ bhavati tadarthaṁ tvaṁ yam athiṣiktavān sa ēva pavitrō yīśustasya prātikūlyēna hērōd pantīyapīlātō
28 to do whatever yoʋr hand and yoʋr plan had foreordained to take place.
'nyadēśīyalōkā isrāyēllōkāśca sarvva ētē sabhāyām atiṣṭhan|
29 And now, Lord, take note of their threats and grant it to yoʋr servants to speak yoʋr word with all boldness,
hē paramēśvara adhunā tēṣāṁ tarjanaṁ garjanañca śr̥ṇu;
30 as yoʋ stretch out yoʋr hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders through the name of yoʋr holy servant Jesus.”
tathā svāsthyakaraṇakarmmaṇā tava bāhubalaprakāśapūrvvakaṁ tava sēvakān nirbhayēna tava vākyaṁ pracārayituṁ tava pavitraputrasya yīśō rnāmnā āścaryyāṇyasambhavāni ca karmmāṇi karttuñcājñāpaya|
31 After they prayed, the place where they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking the word of God with boldness.
itthaṁ prārthanayā yatra sthānē tē sabhāyām āsan tat sthānaṁ prākampata; tataḥ sarvvē pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇāḥ santa īśvarasya kathām akṣōbhēṇa prācārayan|
32 Now the hearts and souls of the multitude of believers were one, and no one was saying that any of their belongings was his own, but everything they owned was held in common.
aparañca pratyayakārilōkasamūhā ēkamanasa ēkacittībhūya sthitāḥ| tēṣāṁ kēpi nijasampattiṁ svīyāṁ nājānan kintu tēṣāṁ sarvvāḥ sampattyaḥ sādhāraṇyēna sthitāḥ|
33 With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
anyacca prēritā mahāśaktiprakāśapūrvvakaṁ prabhō ryīśōrutthānē sākṣyam adaduḥ, tēṣu sarvvēṣu mahānugrahō'bhavacca|
34 There was no one needy among them, for all who owned plots of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.
tēṣāṁ madhyē kasyāpi dravyanyūnatā nābhavad yatastēṣāṁ gr̥habhūmyādyā yāḥ sampattaya āsan tā vikrīya
35 They laid the money at the feet of the apostles, and the proceeds were distributed to anyone who had need.
tanmūlyamānīya prēritānāṁ caraṇēṣu taiḥ sthāpitaṁ; tataḥ pratyēkaśaḥ prayōjanānusārēṇa dattamabhavat|
36 Joses, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”), a Levite and Cypriot by birth,
viśēṣataḥ kuprōpadvīpīyō yōsināmakō lēvivaṁśajāta ēkō janō bhūmyadhikārī, yaṁ prēritā barṇabbā arthāt sāntvanādāyaka ityuktvā samāhūyan,
37 also sold a field he owned and then brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
sa janō nijabhūmiṁ vikrīya tanmūlyamānīya prēritānāṁ caraṇēṣu sthāpitavān|
