Acts 14

1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].

१पौल व बर्णबा इकुन्या शहरात गेले, ते तेथील यहूदी सभास्थानात गेले, तेथील लोकांशी ते बोलले, पौल व बर्णबा अशा रीतीने बोलले की, पुष्कळ यहूदी लोकांनी व ग्रीक लोकांनी त्यांनी जे सांगितले त्यावर विश्वास ठेवला.

2 But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].

२परंतु काही यहूदी लोकांनी विश्वास ठेवला नाही, त्यांनी परराष्ट्रीय लोकांची मने भडकाविली आणि बंधुजनांविषयीची मने वाईट केली.

3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.

३म्हणून पौल व बर्णबाने त्याठिकाणी बरेच दिवस मुक्काम केला आणि परमेश्वराच्या बलाने येशूविषयी धैर्याने सांगत राहीले, पौल व बर्णबाने देवाच्या कृपेविषयी साक्ष दिला, परमेश्वराने त्यांना पौल व बर्णबाला चमत्कार व अद्भूते कृत्ये करण्यास मदत करून ते जे काही सांगत होते ते खरे ठरवले.

4 The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.

४परंतु शहरातील काही लोकांस यहूदी लोकांची मते पटली, दुसऱ्या लोकांस प्रेषित पौल व बर्णबाचे म्हणणे पटले, त्यामुळे शहरात दोन तट पडले.

5 Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.

५काही परराष्ट्रीय लोक, काही यहूदी लोक व त्यांचे पुढारी यांनी पौल व बर्णबाला बांधले व इजा करण्याचा प्रयत्न केला, त्यांना पौल व बर्णबा यांना दगडमार करून मारावयाचे होते.

6 But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].

६पौल व बर्णबा यांना जेव्हा त्याविषयी कळले तेव्हा त्यांनी ते शहर सोडले, ते लुस्र व दर्बे या लुकवनिया देशाच्या नगरात गेले आणि त्या शहरांच्या सभोवतालच्या परिसरात गेले.

7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].

७आणि तेथे त्यांनी सुवार्ता सांगितली.

8 [Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.

८लुस्र येथे एक मनुष्य होता त्याचे पाय अधू होते तो जन्मतःच पांगळा जन्मला होता व कधीच चालला नव्हता.

9 He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.

९पौल भाषण करीत असताना हा मनुष्य ऐकत होता, पौलाने त्याच्याकडे दृष्टी लावून व त्यास आपण बरे होऊ असा त्या मनुष्याचा विश्वास आहे असे पाहून.

10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].

१०मोठ्याने म्हणाला, “तुझ्या पायांवर नीट उभा राहा!” तेव्हा त्या मनुष्याने उडी मारली आणि चालू लागला.

11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”

११पौलाने केलेले लोकांनी जेव्हा पाहिले, तेव्हा ते आपल्या लुकवनिया भाषेत ओरडले, ते म्हणाल, “देव मनुष्यांच्या रूपाने आमच्यात उतरले आहेत.”

12 They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.

१२लोकांनी बर्णबाला ज्यूपितर म्हटले व पौलाला मर्क्युरी म्हटले, कारण पौल मुख्य बोलणारा होता.

13 Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.

१३ज्यूपितरचे मंदिर जवळ होते, या मंदिराचा पुजारी काही बैल व फुले घेऊन वेशीजवळ आला, पुजारी व लोकांस पौल व बर्णबा यांची उपासाना करण्यासाठी त्यांच्यापुढे बळी द्यावयाचा होता.

14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,

१४परंतु ते काय करीत आहेत, हे जेव्हा प्रेषित पौल व बर्णबा यांना समजले तेव्हा त्यांनी आपले कपडे फाडले व लोकांच्या गर्दीत शिरले आणि मोठ्याने म्हणाले.

15 “Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.

१५लोकांनो, या गोष्टी तुम्ही का करीत आहात? आम्ही देव नाही! तुम्हास जशा भावना आहेत, तशाच आम्हासही आहेत! आम्ही तुम्हास सुवार्ता सांगायला आलो, आम्ही तुम्हास हे सांगत आहोत की या व्यर्थ गोष्टींपासून तुम्ही तुमचे मन वळवावे, खऱ्या जिवंत देवाकडे आपले मन लावावे, त्यानेच आकाश, पृथ्वी, समुद्र व जे काही आहे ते निर्माण केले.

16 In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].

१६भूतकाळात, देवाने सर्व राष्ट्रांना त्यांना जसे पाहिजे तसे वागू दिले.

17 But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”

१७परंतु देवाने अशा गोष्टी केल्या, की त्याद्वारे तो खरा आहे हे सिद्ध व्हावे, तो तुमच्यासाठी चांगल्या गोष्टी करतो, तो तुम्हास आकाशातून पाऊस देतो, योग्यवेळी तो तुम्हास चांगले पीक देतो, तो तुम्हास भरपूर अन्न देतो व तो तुमची अंतःकरणे आनंदाने भरतो.

18 The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].

१८पौल व बर्णबाने या गोष्टी लोकांस सांगितल्या व मोठ्या प्रयासाने आपणास यज्ञ अर्पिण्यापासून त्याना परावृत्त केले.

19 [However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].

१९नंतर अंत्युखिया व इकुन्या येथील काही यहूदी लोक तेथे आले, त्यांनी लोकसमुदायाची मने आपल्या बाजूस वळविली आणि पौलाला दगडमार केला, त्यामध्ये पौल मरण पावला असे समजून त्यांनी त्यास ओढत नेऊन नगराबाहेर टाकले.

20 They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.

२०पण शिष्य पौलाभोवती जमा झाल्यावर पौल उठून परत शहरात गेला व दुसऱ्या दिवशी बर्णबाबरोबर तो दर्बे शहरास गेले.

21 They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].

२१आणि त्या नगरात त्यांनी सुवार्ता सांगून अनेक लोकांस शिष्य केले, त्यानंतर ते लुस्र, इकुन्या आणि अंत्युखिया नगरांना परत आले.

22 [In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”

२२आणि त्यांनी तेथील शिष्यांना येशूवरील विश्वासात बळकट केले, त्यांनी आपल्या विश्वासांत अढळ रहावे म्हणून उत्तेजन दिले, ते म्हणाले, “अनेक दुःखांना तोंड देत आपण देवाच्या राज्यात प्रवेश केला पाहिजे.”

23 Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].

२३पौल व बर्णबाने प्रत्येक मंडळीत वडीलजनांची नेमणूक केली, त्यांनी या वडिलांसाठी उपवास आणि प्रार्थना केल्या, प्रभू येशूवर विश्वास असलेले असे सर्व वडीलजन होते म्हणून पौलाने व बर्णबाने त्यांना प्रभूच्या हाती सोपवले.

24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].

२४पौल आणि बर्णबा पिसिदिया प्रदेशातून गेले नंतर ते पंफुलिया येथे आले.

25 [In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.

२५त्यांनी पिर्गा शहरात देवाचा संदेश दिला नंतर ते अत्तलिया शहरात गेले.

26 There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.

२६नंतर तेथून पुढे पौल व बर्णबा सिरीया प्रांतातील अंत्युखियात समुद्रमार्गे गेले, जे काम त्यांनी पूर्ण केले होते त्याची सुरुवात त्यांनी देवाच्या कृपेने अंत्युखियापासूनच केली होती.

27 When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].

२७ते जेव्हा तेथे पोहोचले, तेव्हा त्यांनी मंडळीला एकत्र बोलावले आणि देवाने त्यांच्याबाबतीत ज्या ज्या गोष्टी केल्या त्या त्यांना सांगितल्या तसेच दुसऱ्या देशातील परराष्ट्रीय लोकांमध्ये देवाने विश्वासाचे द्वार कसे उघडले ते सांगितले.

28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.

२८नंतर ते विश्वास ठेवणाऱ्यांबरोबर तेथे बरेच दिवस राहिले.
