< Acts 23 >

1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
سَبھاسَدْلوکانْ پْرَتِ پَولونَنْیَدرِشْٹْیا پَشْیَنْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے بھْراترِگَنا اَدْیَ یاوَتْ سَرَلینَ سَرْوّانْتَحکَرَنینیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشادْ آچَرامِ۔
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him, to strike him on the mouth.
اَنینَ ہَنانِییَناما مَہایاجَکَسْتَں کَپولے چَپیٹیناہَنْتُں سَمِیپَسْتھَلوکانْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔
3 Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
تَدا پَولَسْتَمَوَدَتْ، ہے بَہِشْپَرِشْکرِتَ، اِیشْوَرَسْتْواں پْرَہَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَتوسْتِ، یَتو وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ وِچارَیِتُمْ اُپَوِشْیَ وْیَوَسْتھاں لَنْگھِتْوا ماں پْرَہَرْتُّمْ آجْناپَیَسِ۔
4 And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
تَتو نِکَٹَسْتھا لوکا اَکَتھَیَنْ، تْوَں کِمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہایاجَکَں نِنْدَسِ؟
5 Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
تَتَح پَولَح پْرَتِبھاشِتَوانْ ہے بھْراترِگَنَ مَہایاجَکَ ایشَ اِتِ نَ بُدّھَں مَیا تَدَنْیَچَّ سْوَلوکانامْ اَدھِپَتِں پْرَتِ دُرْوّاکْیَں ما کَتھَیَ، ایتادرِشِی لِپِرَسْتِ۔
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
اَنَنْتَرَں پَولَسْتیشامْ اَرْدّھَں سِدُوکِلوکا اَرْدّھَں پھِرُوشِلوکا اِتِ درِشْٹْوا پْروچَّیح سَبھاسْتھَلوکانْ اَوَدَتْ ہے بھْراترِگَنَ اَہَں پھِرُوشِمَتاوَلَمْبِی پھِرُوشِنَح سَتْنانَشْچَ، مرِتَلوکانامْ اُتّھانے پْرَتْیاشاکَرَنادْ اَہَمَپَوادِتوسْمِ۔
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
اِتِ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں پھِرُوشِسِدُوکِنوح پَرَسْپَرَں بھِنَّواکْیَتْواتْ سَبھایا مَدھْیے دْوَو سَںگھَو جاتَو۔
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
یَتَح سِدُوکِلوکا اُتّھانَں سْوَرْگِییَدُوتا آتْمانَشْچَ سَرْوّیشامْ ایتیشاں کَمَپِ نَ مَنْیَنْتے، کِنْتُ پھِرُوشِنَح سَرْوَّمْ اَنْگِیکُرْوَّنْتِ۔
9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes [that were] of the Pharisees' part arose, and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
تَتَح پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَتِشَیَکولاہَلے سَمُپَسْتھِتے پھِرُوشِناں پَکْشِییاح سَبھاسْتھا اَدھْیاپَکاح پْرَتِپَکْشا اُتِّشْٹھَنْتو کَتھَیَنْ، ایتَسْیَ مانَوَسْیَ کَمَپِ دوشَں نَ پَشْیامَح؛ یَدِ کَشْچِدْ آتْما وا کَشْچِدْ دُوتَ اینَں پْرَتْیادِشَتْ تَرْہِ وَیَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْراتِکُولْیینَ نَ یوتْسْیامَح۔
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul would have been pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring [him] into the castle.
تَسْمادْ اَتِیوَ بھِنَّواکْیَتْوے سَتِ تے پَولَں کھَنْڈَں کھَنْڈَں کَرِشْیَنْتِیتْیاشَنْکَیا سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح سیناگَنَں تَتْسْتھانَں یاتُں سَبھاتو بَلاتْ پَولَں دھرِتْوا دُرْگَں نیتَنْچاجْناپَیَتْ۔
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear testimony also at Rome.
راتْرو پْرَبھُسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپے تِشْٹھَنْ کَتھِتَوانْ ہے پَولَ نِرْبھَیو بھَوَ یَتھا یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرے مَیِ ساکْشْیَں دَتَّوانْ تَتھا رومانَگَریپِ تْوَیا داتَوْیَمْ۔
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
دِنے سَمُپَسْتھِتے سَتِ کِیَنْتو یِہُودِییَلوکا ایکَمَنْتْرَناح سَنْتَح پَولَں نَ ہَتْوا بھوجَنَپانے کَرِشْیامَ اِتِ شَپَتھینَ سْوانْ اَبَدھْنَنْ۔
13 And they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy.
چَتْوارِںشَجَّنیبھْیودھِکا لوکا اِتِ پَنَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ۔
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
تے مَہایاجَکاناں پْراچِینَلوکانانْچَ سَمِیپَں گَتْوا کَتھَیَنْ، وَیَں پَولَں نَ ہَتْوا کِمَپِ نَ بھوکْشْیامَہے درِڈھینانینَ شَپَتھینَ بَدّھوا اَبھَوامَ۔
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain, that he bring him down to you to-morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before he shall come near, are ready to kill him.
اَتَایوَ سامْپْرَتَں سَبھاسَدْلوکَیح سَہَ وَیَں تَسْمِنْ کَنْچِدْ وِشیشَوِچارَں کَرِشْیامَسْتَدَرْتھَں بھَوانْ شْوو سْماکَں سَمِیپَں تَمْ آنَیَتْوِتِ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتَیے نِویدَنَں کُرُتَ تینَ یُشْماکَں سَمِیپَں اُپَسْتھِتیح پُورْوَّں وَیَں تَں ہَنْتُ سَجِّشْیامَ۔
16 And when the son of Paul's sister heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
تَدا پَولَسْیَ بھاگِنییَسْتیشامِتِ مَنْتْرَناں وِجْنایَ دُرْگَں گَتْوا تاں وارْتّاں پَولَمْ اُکْتَوانْ۔
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to [him], and said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
تَسْماتْ پَولَ ایکَں شَتَسیناپَتِمْ آہُویَ واکْیَمِدَمْ بھاشِتَوانْ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح سَمِیپےسْیَ یُوَمَنُشْیَسْیَ کِنْچِنِّویدَنَمْ آسْتے، تَسْماتْ تَتْسَوِدھَمْ اینَں نَیَ۔
18 So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to [him], and prayed me to bring this young man to thee, who hath something to say to thee.
تَتَح سَ تَمادایَ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح سَمِیپَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ کَتھِتَوانْ، بھَوَتَح سَمِیپےسْیَ کِمَپِ نِویدَنَماسْتے تَسْماتْ بَنْدِح پَولو ماماہُویَ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ اینَمْ آنیتُں پْرارْتھِتَوانْ۔
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went [with him] aside privately, and asked [him], What is that thou hast to tell me?
تَدا سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِسْتَسْیَ ہَسْتَں دھرِتْوا نِرْجَنَسْتھانَں نِیتْوا پرِشْٹھَوانْ تَوَ کِں نِویدَنَں؟ تَتْ کَتھَیَ۔
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring down Paul to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat concerning him more perfectly.
تَتَح سوکَتھَیَتْ، یِہُودِییَلاکاح پَولے کَمَپِ وِشیشَوِچارَں چھَلَں کرِتْوا تَں سَبھاں نیتُں بھَوَتَح سَمِیپے نِویدَیِتُں اَمَنْتْرَیَنْ۔
21 But do not thou yield to them: for there are of them who lie in wait for him more than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now they are ready, looking for a promise from thee.
کِنْتُ مَوَتا تَنَّ سْوِیکَرْتَّوْیَں یَتَسْتیشاں مَدھْییوَرْتِّنَشْچَتْوارِںشَجَّنیبھْیو دھِکَلوکا ایکَمَنْتْرَنا بھُوتْوا پَولَں نَ ہَتْوا بھوجَنَں پانَنْچَ نَ کَرِشْیامَ اِتِ شَپَتھینَ بَدّھاح سَنْتو گھاتَکا اِوَ سَجِّتا اِدانِیں کیوَلَں بھَوَتو نُمَتِمْ اَپیکْشَنْتے۔
22 So the chief captain [then] let the young man depart, and charged [him], [See thou] tell no man that thou hast shown these things to me.
یامِماں کَتھاں تْوَں نِویدِتَوانْ تاں کَسْمَیچِدَپِ ما کَتھَییتْیُکْتْوا سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِسْتَں یُوانَں وِسرِشْٹَوانْ۔
23 And he called to [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
اَنَنْتَرَں سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِ رْدْوَو شَتَسیناپَتِی آہُوییدَمْ آدِشَتْ، یُواں راتْرَو پْرَہَرَیکاوَشِشْٹایاں سَتْیاں کَیسَرِیانَگَرَں یاتُں پَداتِسَینْیاناں دْوے شَتے گھوٹَکاروہِسَینْیاناں سَپْتَتِں شَکْتِدھارِسَینْیاناں دْوے شَتے چَ جَنانْ سَجِّتانْ کُرُتَں۔
24 And provide [for them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring [him] safe to Felix the governor.
پَولَمْ آروہَیِتُں پھِیلِکْشادھِپَتیح سَمِیپَں نِرْوِّگھْنَں نیتُنْچَ واہَنانِ سَمُپَسْتھاپَیَتَں۔
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
اَپَرَں سَ پَتْرَں لِکھِتْوا دَتَّوانْ تَلِّکھِتَمیتَتْ،
26 Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix, [sendeth] greeting.
مَہامَہِمَشْرِییُکْتَپھِیلِکْشادھِپَتَیے کْلَودِیَلُشِیَسْیَ نَمَسْکارَح۔
27 This man was taken by the Jews, and would have been killed by them: then I came with a body of soldiers, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
یِہُودِییَلوکاح پُورْوَّمْ اینَں مانَوَں دھرِتْوا سْوَہَسْتَے رْہَنْتُمْ اُدْیَتا ایتَسْمِنَّنْتَرے سَسَینْیوہَں تَتْروپَسْتھایَ ایشَ جَنو رومِییَ اِتِ وِجْنایَ تَں رَکْشِتَوانْ۔
28 And when I would have known the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
کِنِّمِتَّں تے تَمَپَوَدَنْتے تَجّناتُں تیشا سَبھاں تَمانایِتَوانْ۔
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death, or of bonds.
تَتَسْتیشاں وْیَوَسْتھایا وِرُدّھَیا کَیاچَنَ کَتھَیا سوپَوادِتوبھَوَتْ، کِنْتُ سَ شرِنْکھَلَبَنْدھَنارْہو وا پْرانَناشارْہو بھَوَتِیدرِشَح کوپْیَپَرادھو مَیاسْیَ نَ درِشْٹَح۔
30 And when it was told to me that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent forthwith to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also, to say before thee what [they had] against him. Farewell.
تَتھاپِ مَنُشْیَسْیاسْیَ وَدھارْتھَں یِہُودِییا گھاتَکااِوَ سَجِّتا ایتاں وارْتّاں شْرُتْوا تَتْکْشَناتْ تَوَ سَمِیپَمینَں پْریشِتَوانْ اَسْیاپَوادَکاںشْچَ تَوَ سَمِیپَں گَتْواپَوَدِتُمْ آجْناپَیَمْ۔ بھَوَتَح کُشَلَں بھُویاتْ۔
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.
سَینْیَگَنَ آجْنانُسارینَ پَولَں گرِہِیتْوا تَسْیاں رَجَنْیامْ آنْتِپاتْرِنَگَرَمْ آنَیَتْ۔
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
پَرےہَنِ تینَ سَہَ یاتُں گھوٹَکارُوڈھَسَینْیَگَنَں سْتھاپَیِتْوا پَراورِتْیَ دُرْگَں گَتَوانْ۔
33 Who, when they came to Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
تَتَح پَرے گھوٹَکاروہِسَینْیَگَنَح کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تَتْپَتْرَمْ اَدھِپَتیح کَرے سَمَرْپْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپے پَولَمْ اُپَسْتھاپِتَوانْ۔
34 And when the governor had read [the letter], he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that [he was] of Cilicia,
تَدادھِپَتِسْتَتْپَتْرَں پَٹھِتْوا پرِشْٹھَوانْ ایشَ کِمْپْرَدیشِییو جَنَح؟ سَ کِلِکِیاپْرَدیشِییَ ایکو جَنَ اِتِ جْناتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ،
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers also have come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment-hall.
تَواپَوادَکَگَنَ آگَتے تَوَ کَتھاں شْروشْیامِ۔ ہیرودْراجَگرِہے تَں سْتھاپَیِتُمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔
