Acts 1
1 My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
he thiyaphila, yīśuḥ svamanonītān preritān pavitreṇātmanā samādiśya yasmin dine svargamārohat yāṁ yāṁ kriyāmakarot yadyad upādiśacca tāni sarvvāṇi pūrvvaṁ mayā likhitāni|
2 after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
sa svanidhanaduḥkhabhogāt param anekapratyayakṣapramāṇauḥ svaṁ sajīvaṁ darśayitvā
3 He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
catvāriṁśaddināni yāvat tebhyaḥ preritebhyo darśanaṁ dattveśvarīyarājyasya varṇanama akarot|
4 And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "from me.
anantaraṁ teṣāṁ sabhāṁ kṛtvā ityājñāpayat, yūyaṁ yirūśālamo'nyatra gamanamakṛtvā yastin pitrāṅgīkṛte mama vadanāt kathā aśṛṇuta tatprāptim apekṣya tiṣṭhata|
5 For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
yohan jale majjitāvān kintvalpadinamadhye yūyaṁ pavitra ātmani majjitā bhaviṣyatha|
6 Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
paścāt te sarvve militvā tam apṛcchan he prabho bhavān kimidānīṁ punarapi rājyam isrāyelīyalokānāṁ kareṣu samarpayiṣyati?
7 "It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved within His own authority;
tataḥ sovadat yān sarvvān kālān samayāṁśca pitā svavaśe'sthāpayat tān jñātṛṁ yuṣmākam adhikāro na jāyate|
8 and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth."
kintu yuṣmāsu pavitrasyātmana āvirbhāve sati yūyaṁ śaktiṁ prāpya yirūśālami samastayihūdāśomiroṇadeśayoḥ pṛthivyāḥ sīmāṁ yāvad yāvanto deśāsteṣu yarvveṣu ca mayi sākṣyaṁ dāsyatha|
9 When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from their sight.
iti vākyamuktvā sa teṣāṁ samakṣaṁ svargaṁ nīto'bhavat, tato meghamāruhya teṣāṁ dṛṣṭeragocaro'bhavat|
10 But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
yasmin samaye te vihāyasaṁ pratyananyadṛṣṭyā tasya tādṛśam ūrdvvagamanam apaśyan tasminneva samaye śuklavastrau dvau janau teṣāṁ sannidhau daṇḍāyamānau kathitavantau,
11 who said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven."
he gālīlīyalokā yūyaṁ kimarthaṁ gagaṇaṁ prati nirīkṣya daṇḍāyamānāstiṣṭhatha? yuṣmākaṁ samīpāt svargaṁ nīto yo yīśustaṁ yūyaṁ yathā svargam ārohantam adarśam tathā sa punaścāgamiṣyati|
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
tataḥ paraṁ te jaitunanāmnaḥ parvvatād viśrāmavārasya pathaḥ parimāṇam arthāt prāyeṇārddhakrośaṁ durasthaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ parāvṛtyāgacchan|
13 They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
nagaraṁ praviśya pitaro yākūb yohan āndriyaḥ philipaḥ thomā barthajamayo mathirālphīyaputro yākūb udyogā śimon yākūbo bhrātā yihūdā ete sarvve yatra sthāne pravasanti tasmin uparitanaprakoṣṭhe prāviśan|
14 All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
paścād ime kiyatyaḥ striyaśca yīśo rmātā mariyam tasya bhrātaraścaite sarvva ekacittībhūta satataṁ vinayena vinayena prārthayanta|
15 It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--and said,
tasmin samaye tatra sthāne sākalyena viṁśatyadhikaśataṁ śiṣyā āsan| tataḥ pitarasteṣāṁ madhye tiṣṭhan uktavān
16 "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
he bhrātṛgaṇa yīśudhāriṇāṁ lokānāṁ pathadarśako yo yihūdāstasmin dāyūdā pavitra ātmā yāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa tasyāḥ pratyakṣībhavanasyāvaśyakatvam āsīt|
17 For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
sa jano'smākaṁ madhyavarttī san asyāḥ sevāyā aṁśam alabhata|
18 (Now having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
tadanantaraṁ kukarmmaṇā labdhaṁ yanmūlyaṁ tena kṣetramekaṁ krītam aparaṁ tasmin adhomukhe bhṛmau patite sati tasyodarasya vidīrṇatvāt sarvvā nāḍyo niragacchan|
19 This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means 'The Field of Blood.')
etāṁ kathāṁ yirūśālamnivāsinaḥ sarvve lokā vidānti; teṣāṁ nijabhāṣayā tatkṣetrañca hakaldāmā, arthāt raktakṣetramiti vikhyātamāste|
20 "For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
anyacca, niketanaṁ tadīyantu śunyameva bhaviṣyati| tasya dūṣye nivāsārthaṁ kopi sthāsyati naiva hi| anya eva janastasya padaṁ saṁprāpsyati dhruvaṁ| itthaṁ gītapustake likhitamāste|
21 "It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
ato yohano majjanam ārabhyāsmākaṁ samīpāt prabho ryīśoḥ svargārohaṇadinaṁ yāvat sosmākaṁ madhye yāvanti dināni yāpitavān
22 beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."
tāvanti dināni ye mānavā asmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhanti teṣām ekena janenāsmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ yīśorutthāne sākṣiṇā bhavitavyaṁ|
23 So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and surnamed Justus--and Matthias.
ato yasya rūḍhi ryuṣṭo yaṁ barśabbetyuktvāhūyanti sa yūṣaph matathiśca dvāvetau pṛthak kṛtvā ta īśvarasya sannidhau prāryya kathitavantaḥ,
24 And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast chosen
he sarvvāntaryyāmin parameśvara, yihūdāḥ sevanapreritatvapadacyutaḥ
25 to occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
san nijasthānam agacchat, tatpadaṁ labdhum enayo rjanayo rmadhye bhavatā ko'bhirucitastadasmān darśyatāṁ|
26 Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
tato guṭikāpāṭe kṛte matathirniracīyata tasmāt sonyeṣām ekādaśānāṁ praritānāṁ madhye gaṇitobhavat|
