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].
tr̥tīyayāmavēlāyāṁ satyāṁ prārthanāyāḥ samayē pitarayōhanau sambhūya mandiraṁ gacchataḥ|
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.
tasminnēva samayē mandirapravēśakānāṁ samīpē bhikṣāraṇārthaṁ yaṁ janmakhañjamānuṣaṁ lōkā mandirasya sundaranāmni dvārē pratidinam asthāpayan taṁ vahantastadvāraṁ ānayan|
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!”)
tadā pitarayōhanau mantiraṁ pravēṣṭum udyatau vilōkya sa khañjastau kiñcid bhikṣitavān|
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
tasmād yōhanā sahitaḥ pitarastam ananyadr̥ṣṭyā nirīkṣya prōktavān āvāṁ prati dr̥ṣṭiṁ kuru|
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
tataḥ sa kiñcit prāptyāśayā tau prati dr̥ṣṭiṁ kr̥tavān|
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!”
tadā pitarō gaditavān mama nikaṭē svarṇarūpyādi kimapi nāsti kintu yadāstē tad dadāmi nāsaratīyasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā tvamutthāya gamanāgamanē kuru|
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
tataḥ paraṁ sa tasya dakṣiṇakaraṁ dhr̥tvā tam udatōlayat; tēna tatkṣaṇāt tasya janasya pādagulphayōḥ sabalatvāt sa ullamphya prōtthāya gamanāgamanē 'karōt|
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
tatō gamanāgamanē kurvvan ullamphan īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan tābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ mandiraṁ prāviśat|
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
tataḥ sarvvē lōkāstaṁ gamanāgamanē kurvvantam īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadantañca vilōkya
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.
mandirasya sundarē dvārē ya upaviśya bhikṣitavān saēvāyam iti jñātvā taṁ prati tayā ghaṭanayā camatkr̥tā vismayāpannāścābhavan|
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.
yaḥ khañjaḥ svasthōbhavat tēna pitarayōhanōḥ karayōrdhṭatayōḥ satōḥ sarvvē lōkā sannidhim āgacchan|
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!
tad dr̥ṣṭvā pitarastēbhyō'kathayat, hē isrāyēlīyalōkā yūyaṁ kutō 'nēnāścaryyaṁ manyadhvē? āvāṁ nijaśaktyā yadvā nijapuṇyēna khañjamanuṣyamēnaṁ gamitavantāviti cintayitvā āvāṁ prati kutō'nanyadr̥ṣṭiṁ kurutha?
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.
yaṁ yīśuṁ yūyaṁ parakarēṣu samārpayata tatō yaṁ pīlātō mōcayitum ēcchat tathāpi yūyaṁ tasya sākṣān nāṅgīkr̥tavanta ibrāhīma ishākō yākūbaścēśvarō'rthād asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇām īśvaraḥ svaputrasya tasya yīśō rmahimānaṁ prākāśayat|
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)!
kintu yūyaṁ taṁ pavitraṁ dhārmmikaṁ pumāṁsaṁ nāṅgīkr̥tya hatyākāriṇamēkaṁ svēbhyō dātum ayācadhvaṁ|
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.
paścāt taṁ jīvanasyādhipatim ahata kintvīśvaraḥ śmaśānāt tam udasthāpayata tatra vayaṁ sākṣiṇa āsmahē|
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.”
imaṁ yaṁ mānuṣaṁ yūyaṁ paśyatha paricinutha ca sa tasya nāmni viśvāsakaraṇāt calanaśaktiṁ labdhavān tasmin tasya yō viśvāsaḥ sa taṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ sākṣāt sampūrṇarūpēṇa svastham akārṣīt|
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].
hē bhrātarō yūyaṁ yuṣmākam adhipatayaśca ajñātvā karmmāṇyētāni kr̥tavanta idānīṁ mamaiṣa bōdhō jāyatē|
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].
kintvīśvaraḥ khrīṣṭasya duḥkhabhōgē bhaviṣyadvādināṁ mukhēbhyō yāṁ yāṁ kathāṁ pūrvvamakathayat tāḥ kathā itthaṁ siddhā akarōt|
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.
ataḥ svēṣāṁ pāpamōcanārthaṁ khēdaṁ kr̥tvā manāṁsi parivarttayadhvaṁ, tasmād īśvarāt sāntvanāprāptēḥ samaya upasthāsyati;
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.
punaśca pūrvvakālam ārabhya pracāritō yō yīśukhrīṣṭastam īśvarō yuṣmān prati prēṣayiṣyati|
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)
kintu jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭimārabhya īśvarō nijapavitrabhaviṣyadvādigaṇōna yathā kathitavān tadanusārēṇa sarvvēṣāṁ kāryyāṇāṁ siddhiparyyantaṁ tēna svargē vāsaḥ karttavyaḥ| (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].
yuṣmākaṁ prabhuḥ paramēśvarō yuṣmākaṁ bhrātr̥gaṇamadhyāt matsadr̥śaṁ bhaviṣyadvaktāram utpādayiṣyati, tataḥ sa yat kiñcit kathayiṣyati tatra yūyaṁ manāṁsi nidhaddhvaṁ|
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’.”
kintu yaḥ kaścit prāṇī tasya bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ kathāṁ na grahīṣyati sa nijalōkānāṁ madhyād ucchētsyatē," imāṁ kathām asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣēbhyaḥ kēvalō mūsāḥ kathayāmāsa iti nahi,
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.
śimūyēlbhaviṣyadvādinam ārabhya yāvantō bhaviṣyadvākyam akathayan tē sarvvaēva samayasyaitasya kathām akathayan|
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].’”
yūyamapi tēṣāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ santānāḥ, "tava vaṁśōdbhavapuṁsā sarvvadēśīyā lōkā āśiṣaṁ prāptā bhaviṣyanti", ibrāhīmē kathāmētāṁ kathayitvā īśvarōsmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣaiḥ sārddhaṁ yaṁ niyamaṁ sthirīkr̥tavān tasya niyamasyādhikāriṇōpi yūyaṁ bhavatha|
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].”
ata īśvarō nijaputraṁ yīśum utthāpya yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ svasvapāpāt parāvarttya yuṣmabhyam āśiṣaṁ dātuṁ prathamatastaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭaṁ prēṣitavān|
