Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
१पतरस और यूहन्ना तीसरे पहर प्रार्थना के समय मन्दिर में जा रहे थे।
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
२और लोग एक जन्म के लँगड़े को ला रहे थे, जिसको वे प्रतिदिन मन्दिर के उस द्वार पर जो ‘सुन्दर’ कहलाता है, बैठा देते थे, कि वह मन्दिर में जानेवालों से भीख माँगे।
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
३जब उसने पतरस और यूहन्ना को मन्दिर में जाते देखा, तो उनसे भीख माँगी।
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
४पतरस ने यूहन्ना के साथ उसकी ओर ध्यान से देखकर कहा, “हमारी ओर देख!”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
५अतः वह उनसे कुछ पाने की आशा रखते हुए उनकी ओर ताकने लगा।
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
६तब पतरस ने कहा, “चाँदी और सोना तो मेरे पास है नहीं; परन्तु जो मेरे पास है, वह तुझे देता हूँ; यीशु मसीह नासरी के नाम से चल फिर।”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
७और उसने उसका दाहिना हाथ पकड़ के उसे उठाया; और तुरन्त उसके पाँवों और टखनों में बल आ गया।
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
८और वह उछलकर खड़ा हो गया, और चलने फिरने लगा; और चलता, और कूदता, और परमेश्वर की स्तुति करता हुआ उनके साथ मन्दिर में गया।
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
९सब लोगों ने उसे चलते फिरते और परमेश्वर की स्तुति करते देखकर,
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
१०उसको पहचान लिया कि यह वही है, जो मन्दिर के ‘सुन्दर’ फाटक पर बैठकर भीख माँगा करता था; और उस घटना से जो उसके साथ हुई थी; वे बहुत अचम्भित और चकित हुए।
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
११जब वह पतरस और यूहन्ना को पकड़े हुए था, तो सब लोग बहुत अचम्भा करते हुए उस ओसारे में जो सुलैमान का कहलाता है, उनके पास दौड़े आए।
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
१२यह देखकर पतरस ने लोगों से कहा, “हे इस्राएलियों, तुम इस मनुष्य पर क्यों अचम्भा करते हो, और हमारी ओर क्यों इस प्रकार देख रहे हो, कि मानो हमने अपनी सामर्थ्य या भक्ति से इसे चलने फिरने योग्य बना दिया।
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
१३अब्राहम और इसहाक और याकूब के परमेश्वर, हमारे पूर्वजों के परमेश्वर ने अपने सेवक यीशु की महिमा की, जिसे तुम ने पकड़वा दिया, और जब पिलातुस ने उसे छोड़ देने का विचार किया, तब तुम ने उसके सामने यीशु का तिरस्कार किया।
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
१४तुम ने उस पवित्र और धर्मी का तिरस्कार किया, और चाहा कि एक हत्यारे को तुम्हारे लिये छोड़ दिया जाए।
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
१५और तुम ने जीवन के कर्ता को मार डाला, जिसे परमेश्वर ने मरे हुओं में से जिलाया; और इस बात के हम गवाह हैं।
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
१६और उसी के नाम ने, उस विश्वास के द्वारा जो उसके नाम पर है, इस मनुष्य को जिसे तुम देखते हो और जानते भी हो सामर्थ्य दी है; और निश्चय उसी विश्वास ने जो यीशु के द्वारा है, इसको तुम सब के सामने बिलकुल भला चंगा कर दिया है।
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
१७“और अब हे भाइयों, मैं जानता हूँ कि यह काम तुम ने अज्ञानता से किया, और वैसा ही तुम्हारे सरदारों ने भी किया।
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
१८परन्तु जिन बातों को परमेश्वर ने सब भविष्यद्वक्ताओं के मुख से पहले ही बताया था, कि उसका मसीह दुःख उठाएगा; उन्हें उसने इस रीति से पूरा किया।
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
१९इसलिए, मन फिराओ और लौट आओ कि तुम्हारे पाप मिटाएँ जाएँ, जिससे प्रभु के सम्मुख से विश्रान्ति के दिन आएँ।
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
२०और वह उस यीशु को भेजे जो तुम्हारे लिये पहले ही से मसीह ठहराया गया है।
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
२१अवश्य है कि वह स्वर्ग में उस समय तक रहे जब तक कि वह सब बातों का सुधार न कर ले जिसकी चर्चा प्राचीनकाल से परमेश्वर ने अपने पवित्र भविष्यद्वक्ताओं के मुख से की है। (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
२२जैसा कि मूसा ने कहा, ‘प्रभु परमेश्वर तुम्हारे भाइयों में से तुम्हारे लिये मुझ जैसा एक भविष्यद्वक्ता उठाएगा, जो कुछ वह तुम से कहे, उसकी सुनना।’
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
२३परन्तु प्रत्येक मनुष्य जो उस भविष्यद्वक्ता की न सुने, लोगों में से नाश किया जाएगा।
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
२४और शमूएल से लेकर उसके बाद वालों तक जितने भविष्यद्वक्ताओं ने बात कहीं उन सब ने इन दिनों का सन्देश दिया है।
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
२५तुम भविष्यद्वक्ताओं की सन्तान और उस वाचा के भागी हो, जो परमेश्वर ने तुम्हारे पूर्वजों से बाँधी, जब उसने अब्राहम से कहा, ‘तेरे वंश के द्वारा पृथ्वी के सारे घराने आशीष पाएँगे।’
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
२६परमेश्वर ने अपने सेवक को उठाकर पहले तुम्हारे पास भेजा, कि तुम में से हर एक को उसकी बुराइयों से फेरकर आशीष दे।”
