Acts 18
1 On leaving Athens, Paul next went to Corinth.
| تَدْگھَٹَناتَح پَرَں پَولَ آتھِینِینَگَرادْ یاتْراں کرِتْوا کَرِنْتھَنَگَرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ۔ |
2 There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, a native of Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,
| تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے کْلَودِیَح سَرْوّانْ یِہُودِییانْ رومانَگَرَں وِہایَ گَنْتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْ، تَسْماتْ پْرِسْکِلّانامْنا جایَیا سارْدّھَمْ اِتالِیادیشاتْ کِنْچِتْپُورْوَّمْ آگَمَتْ یَح پَنْتَدیشے جاتَ آکِّلَناما یِہُودِییَلوکَح پَولَسْتَں ساکْشاتْ پْراپْیَ تَیوح سَمِیپَمِتَوانْ۔ |
3 and, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them — their trade was tent-making.
| تَو دُوشْیَنِرْمّانَجِیوِنَو، تَسْماتْ پَرَسْپَرَمْ ایکَورِتِّکَتْواتْ سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ اُشِتْوا تَتْ کَرْمّاکَروتْ۔ |
4 Every Sabbath Paul gave addresses in the Synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.
| پَولَح پْرَتِوِشْرامَوارَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَں گَتْوا وِچارَں کرِتْوا یِہُودِییانْ اَنْیَدیشِییاںشْچَ پْرَورِتِّں گْراہِتَوانْ۔ |
5 But, when Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the Message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
| سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَیو رْماکِدَنِیادیشاتْ سَمیتَیوح سَتوح پَولَ اُتَّپْتَمَنا بھُوتْوا یِیشُرِیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتو بھَوَتِیتِ پْرَمانَں یِہُودِییاناں سَمِیپے پْراداتْ۔ |
6 However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them: “Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward I shall go to the Gentiles.”
| کِنْتُ تے تِیوَ وِرودھَں وِدھایَ پاشَنْڈِییَکَتھاں کَتھِتَوَنْتَسْتَتَح پَولو وَسْتْرَں دھُنْوَنْ ایتاں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوانْ، یُشْماکَں شونِتَپاتاپَرادھو یُشْمانْ پْرَتْییوَ بھَوَتُ، تیناہَں نِرَپَرادھو دْیارَبھْیَ بھِنَّدیشِییاناں سَمِیپَں یامِ۔ |
7 So he left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and whose house was next door to the Synagogue.
| سَ تَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھایَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنَسَمِیپَسْتھَسْیَ یُسْتَنامْنَ اِیشْوَرَبھَکْتَسْیَ بھِنَّدیشِییَسْیَ نِویشَنَں پْراوِشَتْ۔ |
8 Crispus, the President of the Synagogue, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were baptized.
| تَتَح کْرِیشْپَناما بھَجَنَبھَوَنادھِپَتِح سَپَرِوارَح پْرَبھَو وْیَشْوَسِیتْ، کَرِنْتھَنَگَرِییا بَہَوو لوکاشْچَ سَماکَرْنْیَ وِشْوَسْیَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔ |
9 One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision: “Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;
| کْشَنَدایاں پْرَبھُح پَولَں دَرْشَنَں دَتْوا بھاشِتَوانْ، ما بھَیشِیح، ما نِرَسِیح کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَ۔ |
10 for I am with you, and no one shall do you harm, for I have many People in this city.”
| اَہَں تْوَیا سارْدّھَمْ آسَ ہِںسارْتھَں کوپِ تْواں سْپْرَشْٹُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ نَگَرےسْمِنْ مَدِییا لوکا بَہَوَ آسَتے۔ |
11 So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God’s Message among the people.
| تَسْماتْ پَولَسْتَنَّگَرے پْرایینَ سارْدّھَوَتْسَرَپَرْیَّنْتَں سَںسْتھاییشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اُپادِشَتْ۔ |
12 While Gallio was governor of Greece, the Jews made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor’s Bench,
| گالِّیَناما کَشْچِدْ آکھایادیشَسْیَ پْراڈْوِواکَح سَمَبھَوَتْ، تَتو یِہُودِییا ایکَواکْیاح سَنْتَح پَولَمْ آکْرَمْیَ وِچارَسْتھانَں نِیتْوا |
13 charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by the Law.
| مانُشَ ایشَ وْیَوَسْتھایَ وِرُدّھَمْ اِیشْوَرَبھَجَنَں کَرْتُّں لوکانْ کُپْرَورِتِّں گْراہَیَتِیتِ نِویدِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
14 Just as Paul was on the point of speaking, Gallio said to the Jews: “Jews, if this were a case of misdemeanour or some serious crime, there would be some reason for my listening patiently to you;
| تَتَح پَولے پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُمْ اُدْیَتے سَتِ گالِّیا یِہُودِییانْ وْیاہَرَتْ، یَدِ کَسْیَچِدْ اَنْیایَسْیَ واتِشَیَدُشْٹَتاچَرَنَسْیَ وِچاروبھَوِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَں کَتھا مَیا سَہَنِییابھَوِشْیَتْ۔ |
15 but, since it is a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters.”
| کِنْتُ یَدِ کیوَلَں کَتھایا وا نامْنو وا یُشْماکَں وْیَوَسْتھایا وِوادو بھَوَتِ تَرْہِ تَسْیَ وِچارَمَہَں نَ کَرِشْیامِ، یُویَں تَسْیَ مِیماںساں کُرُتَ۔ |
16 Saying this, he drove them back from the Bench.
| تَتَح سَ تانْ وِچارَسْتھانادْ دُورِیکرِتَوانْ۔ |
17 Then they all set upon Sosthenes, the President of the Synagogue, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of these things.
| تَدا بھِنَّدیشِییاح سوسْتھِنِنامانَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَسْیَ پْرَدھانادھِپَتِں دھرِتْوا وِچارَسْتھانَسْیَ سَمُّکھے پْراہَرَنْ تَتھاپِ گالِّیا تیشُ سَرْوَّکَرْمَّسُ نَ مَنو نْیَدَدھاتْ۔ |
18 Paul remained there some time after this, and then took leave of the Brethren, and sailed to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, but not before his head had been shaved at Cenchreae, because he was under a vow.
| پَولَسْتَتْرَ پُنَرْبَہُدِنانِ نْیَوَسَتْ، تَتو بھْراترِگَنادْ وِسَرْجَنَں پْراپْیَ کِنْچَنَوْرَتَنِمِتَّں کِںکْرِیانَگَرے شِرو مُنْڈَیِتْوا پْرِسْکِلّاکِّلابھْیاں سَہِتو جَلَپَتھینَ سُرِیادیشَں گَتَوانْ۔ |
19 They put into Ephesus, and there Paul, leaving his companions, went into the Synagogue and addressed the Jews.
| تَتَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَ اُپَسْتھایَ تَتْرَ تَو وِسرِجْیَ سْوَیَں بھَجَنَبھْوَنَں پْرَوِشْیَ یِہُودِییَیح سَہَ وِچارِتَوانْ۔ |
20 When they asked him to prolong his stay, he declined, saying however,
| تے سْوَیح سارْدّھَں پُنَح کَتِپَیَدِنانِ سْتھاتُں تَں وْیَنَیَنْ، سَ تَدَنُرَرِیکرِتْیَ کَتھامیتاں کَتھِتَوانْ، |
21 as he took his leave, “I will come back again to you, please God,” and then set sail from Ephesus.
| یِرُوشالَمِ آگامْیُتْسَوَپالَنارْتھَں مَیا گَمَنِییَں؛ پَشْچادْ اِیشْوَریچّھایاں جاتایاں یُشْماکَں سَمِیپَں پْرَتْیاگَمِشْیامِ۔ تَتَح پَرَں سَ تَے رْوِسرِشْٹَح سَنْ جَلَپَتھینَ اِپھِشَنَگَراتْ پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
22 On reaching Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and exchanged greetings with the Church, and then went down to Antioch.
| تَتَح کَیسَرِیامْ اُپَسْتھِتَح سَنْ نَگَرَں گَتْوا سَماجَں نَمَسْکرِتْیَ تَسْمادْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
23 After making some stay in Antioch, he set out on a tour through the Phrygian district of Galatia, strengthening the faith of all the disciples as he went.
| تَتْرَ کِیَتْکالَں یاپَیِتْوا تَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھایَ سَرْوّیشاں شِشْیاناں مَناںسِ سُسْتھِرانِ کرِتْوا کْرَمَشو گَلاتِیاپھْرُگِیادیشَیو رْبھْرَمِتْوا گَتَوانْ۔ |
24 Meanwhile there had come to Ephesus an Alexandrian Jew, named Apollos, an eloquent man, who was well-versed in the Scriptures.
| تَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے سِکَنْدَرِیانَگَرے جاتَ آپَلّوناما شاسْتْرَوِتْ سُوَکْتا یِہُودِییَ ایکو جَنَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَمْ آگَتَوانْ۔ |
25 He had been well-instructed in the Cause of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John’s.
| سَ شِکْشِتَپْرَبھُمارْگو مَنَسودْیوگِی چَ سَنْ یوہَنو مَجَّنَماتْرَں جْناتْوا یَتھارْتھَتَیا پْرَبھوح کَتھاں کَتھَیَنْ سَمُپادِشَتْ۔ |
26 This man began to speak out fearlessly in the Synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Cause of God to him more carefully still.
| ایشَ جَنو نِرْبھَیَتْوینَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبْدھَوانْ، تَتَح پْرِسْکِلّاکِّلَو تَسْیوپَدیشَکَتھاں نِشَمْیَ تَں سْوَیوح سَمِیپَمْ آنِییَ شُدّھَرُوپینیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اَبودھَیَتامْ۔ |
27 When he wanted to cross to Greece, the Brethren furthered his plans, and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival he proved of great assistance to those who had, through the loving-kindness of God, become believers in Christ,
| پَشْچاتْ سَ آکھایادیشَں گَنْتُں مَتِں کرِتَوانْ، تَدا تَتْرَتْیَح شِشْیَگَنو یَتھا تَں گرِہْلاتِ تَدَرْتھَں بھْراترِگَنینَ سَماشْوَسْیَ پَتْرے لِکھِتے سَتِ، آپَلّاسْتَتْروپَسْتھِتَح سَنْ اَنُگْرَہینَ پْرَتْیَیِناں بَہُوپَکارانْ اَکَروتْ، |
28 for he vigorously confuted the Jews, publicly proving by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
| پھَلَتو یِیشُرَبھِشِکْتَسْتْراتیتِ شاسْتْرَپْرَمانَں دَتْوا پْرَکاشَرُوپینَ پْرَتِپَنَّں کرِتْوا یِہُودِییانْ نِرُتَّرانْ کرِتَوانْ۔ |
