Acts 11
1 Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message;
इत्थं भिन्नदेशीयलोका अपीश्वरस्य वाक्यम् अगृह्लन् इमां वार्त्तां यिहूदीयदेशस्थप्रेरिता भ्रातृगणश्च श्रुतवन्तः।
2 and, when Peter returned to Jerusalem, the champions of circumcision found fault with him.
ततः पितरे यिरूशालम्नगरं गतवति त्वक्छेदिनो लोकास्तेन सह विवदमाना अवदन्,
3 "You went into the houses of men who are not Jews," they said, "and you ate with them."
त्वम् अत्वक्छेदिलोकानां गृहं गत्वा तैः सार्द्धं भुक्तवान्।
4 Peter, however, explained the whole matter to them from the beginning.
ततः पितर आदितः क्रमशस्तत्कार्य्यस्य सर्व्ववृत्तान्तमाख्यातुम् आरब्धवान्।
5 "While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer," he said, "in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me.
याफोनगर एकदाहं प्रार्थयमानो मूर्च्छितः सन् दर्शनेन चतुर्षु कोणेषु लम्बनमानं वृहद्वस्त्रमिव पात्रमेकम् आकाशदवरुह्य मन्निकटम् आगच्छद् अपश्यम्।
6 Fixing my eyes on it, I examined it closely, and saw various kinds of quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds.
पश्चात् तद् अनन्यदृष्ट्या दृष्ट्वा विविच्य तस्य मध्ये नानाप्रकारान् ग्राम्यवन्यपशून् उरोगामिखेचरांश्च दृष्टवान्;
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, "'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
हे पितर त्वमुत्थाय गत्वा भुंक्ष्व मां सम्बोध्य कथयन्तं शब्दमेकं श्रुतवांश्च।
8 "'On no account, Lord,' I replied, 'for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.'
ततोहं प्रत्यवदं, हे प्रभो नेत्थं भवतु, यतः किञ्चन निषिद्धम् अशुचि द्रव्यं वा मम मुखमध्यं कदापि न प्राविशत्।
9 "But a voice answered, speaking a second time from the sky, "'What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy.'
अपरम् ईश्वरो यत् शुचि कृतवान् तन्निषिद्धं न जानीहि द्वि र्माम्प्रतीदृशी विहायसीया वाणी जाता।
10 "This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again out of sight.
त्रिरित्थं सति तत् सर्व्वं पुनराकाशम् आकृष्टं।
11 "Now at that very moment three men came to the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to find me.
पश्चात् कैसरियानगरात् त्रयो जना मन्निकटं प्रेषिता यत्र निवेशने स्थितोहं तस्मिन् समये तत्रोपातिष्ठन्।
12 And the Spirit told me to accompany them without any misgivings. There also went with me these six brethren who are now present, and we reached the Centurion's house.
तदा निःसन्देहं तैः सार्द्धं यातुम् आत्मा मामादिष्टवान्; ततः परं मया सहैतेषु षड्भ्रातृषु गतेषु वयं तस्य मनुजस्य गृहं प्राविशाम।
13 Then he described to us how he had seen the angel come and enter his house and say, "'Send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
सोस्माकं निकटे कथामेताम् अकथयत् एकदा दूत एकः प्रत्यक्षीभूय मम गृहमध्ये तिष्टन् मामित्याज्ञापितवान्, याफोनगरं प्रति लोकान् प्रहित्य पितरनाम्ना विख्यातं शिमोनम् आहूयय;
14 He will teach you truths by which you and all your family will be saved.'"
ततस्तव त्वदीयपरिवाराणाञ्च येन परित्राणं भविष्यति तत् स उपदेक्ष्यति।
15 "And," said Peter, "no sooner had I begun to speak than the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He fell upon us at the first.
अहं तां कथामुत्थाप्य कथितवान् तेन प्रथमम् अस्माकम् उपरि यथा पवित्र आत्मावरूढवान् तथा तेषामप्युपरि समवरूढवान्।
16 Then I remembered the Lord's words, how He used to say, "'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
तेन योहन् जले मज्जितवान् इति सत्यं किन्तु यूयं पवित्र आत्मनि मज्जिता भविष्यथ, इति यद्वाक्यं प्रभुरुदितवान् तत् तदा मया स्मृतम्।
17 "If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, why, who was I to be able to thwart God?"
अतः प्रभा यीशुख्रीष्टे प्रत्ययकारिणो ये वयम् अस्मभ्यम् ईश्वरो यद् दत्तवान् तत् तेभ्यो लोकेभ्योपि दत्तवान् ततः कोहं? किमहम् ईश्वरं वारयितुं शक्नोमि?
18 This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, "So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life."
कथामेतां श्रुवा ते क्षान्ता ईश्वरस्य गुणान् अनुकीर्त्त्य कथितवन्तः, तर्हि परमायुःप्राप्तिनिमित्तम् ईश्वरोन्यदेशीयलोकेभ्योपि मनःपरिवर्त्तनरूपं दानम् अदात्।
19 Those, however, who had been driven in various directions by the persecution which broke out on account of Stephen made their way to Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, delivering the Message to none but Jews.
स्तिफानं प्रति उपद्रवे घटिते ये विकीर्णा अभवन् तै फैनीकीकुप्रान्तियखियासु भ्रमित्वा केवलयिहूदीयलोकान् विना कस्याप्यन्यस्य समीप ईश्वरस्य कथां न प्राचारयन्।
20 But some of them were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also and told them the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.
अपरं तेषां कुप्रीयाः कुरीनीयाश्च कियन्तो जना आन्तियखियानगरं गत्वा यूनानीयलोकानां समीपेपि प्रभोर्यीशोः कथां प्राचारयन्।
21 The power of the Lord was with them, and there were a vast number who believed and turned to the Lord.
प्रभोः करस्तेषां सहाय आसीत् तस्माद् अनेके लोका विश्वस्य प्रभुं प्रति परावर्त्तन्त।
22 When tidings of this reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
इति वार्त्तायां यिरूशालमस्थमण्डलीयलोकानां कर्णगोचरीभूतायाम् आन्तियखियानगरं गन्तु ते बर्णब्बां प्रैरयन्।
23 On getting there he was delighted to see the grace which God had bestowed; and he encouraged them all to remain, with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.
ततो बर्णब्बास्तत्र उपस्थितः सन् ईश्वरस्यानुग्रहस्य फलं दृष्ट्वा सानन्दो जातः,
24 For he was a good man, and was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and the number of believers in the Lord greatly increased.
स स्वयं साधु र्विश्वासेन पवित्रेणात्मना च परिपूर्णः सन् गनोनिष्टया प्रभावास्थां कर्त्तुं सर्व्वान् उपदिष्टवान् तेन प्रभोः शिष्या अनेके बभूवुः।
25 Then Barnabas paid a visit to Tarsus to try to find Saul.
शेषे शौलं मृगयितुं बर्णब्बास्तार्षनगरं प्रस्थितवान्। तत्र तस्योद्देशं प्राप्य तम् आन्तियखियानगरम् आनयत्;
26 He succeeded, and brought him to Antioch; and for a whole year they attended the meetings of the Church, and taught a large number of people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of 'Christians.'
ततस्तौ मण्डलीस्थलोकैः सभां कृत्वा संवत्सरमेकं यावद् बहुलोकान् उपादिशतां; तस्मिन् आन्तियखियानगरे शिष्याः प्रथमं ख्रीष्टीयनाम्ना विख्याता अभवन्।
27 At that time certain Prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,
ततः परं भविष्यद्वादिगणे यिरूशालम आन्तियखियानगरम् आगते सति
28 one of whom, named Agabus, being instructed by the Spirit, publicly predicted the speedy coming of a great famine throughout the world. (It came in the reign of Claudius.)
आगाबनामा तेषामेक उत्थाय आत्मनः शिक्षया सर्व्वदेशे दुर्भिक्षं भविष्यतीति ज्ञापितवान्; ततः क्लौदियकैसरस्याधिकारे सति तत् प्रत्यक्षम् अभवत्।
29 So the disciples decided to send relief, every one in proportion to his means, to the brethren living in Judaea.
तस्मात् शिष्या एकैकशः स्वस्वशक्त्यनुसारतो यिहूदीयदेशनिवासिनां भ्रतृणां दिनयापनार्थं धनं प्रेषयितुं निश्चित्य
30 This they did, forwarding their contributions to the Elders by Barnabas and Saul.
बर्णब्बाशौलयो र्द्वारा प्राचीनलोकानां समीपं तत् प्रेषितवन्तः।
