Acts 14

1 At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.

tau dvau janau yugapad ikaniyanagarasthayihUdIyAnAM bhajanabhavanaM gatvA yathA bahavo yihUdIyA anyadezIyalokAzca vyazvasan tAdRzIM kathAM kathitavantau|

2 But the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.

kintu vizvAsahInA yihUdIyA anyadezIyalokAn kupravRttiM grAhayitvA bhrAtRgaNaM prati teSAM vairaM janitavantaH|

3 Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.

ataH svAnugrahakathAyAH pramANaM datvA tayo rhastai rbahulakSaNam adbhutakarmma ca prAkAzayad yaH prabhustasya kathA akSobhena pracAryya tau tatra bahudinAni samavAtiSThetAM|

4 At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some with the Apostles.

kintu kiyanto lokA yihUdIyAnAM sapakSAH kiyanto lokAH preritAnAM sapakSA jAtAH, ato nAgarikajananivahamadhye bhinnavAkyatvam abhavat|

5 And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,

anyadezIyA yihUdIyAsteSAm adhipatayazca daurAtmyaM kutvA tau prastarairAhantum udyatAH|

6 the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.

tau tadvArttAM prApya palAyitvA lukAyaniyAdezasyAntarvvarttilustrAdarbbo

7 And there they continued to tell the Good News.

tatsamIpasthadezaJca gatvA tatra susaMvAdaM pracArayatAM|

8 Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never walked.

tatrobhayapAdayozcalanazaktihIno janmArabhya khaJjaH kadApi gamanaM nAkarot etAdRza eko mAnuSo lustrAnagara upavizya paulasya kathAM zrutavAn|

9 After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,

etasmin samaye paulastamprati dRSTiM kRtvA tasya svAsthye vizvAsaM viditvA proccaiH kathitavAn

10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"

padbhyAmuttiSThan Rju rbhava|tataH sa ullamphaM kRtvA gamanAgamane kutavAn|

11 So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."

tadA lokAH paulasya tat kAryyaM vilokya lukAyanIyabhASayA proccaiH kathAmetAM kathitavantaH, devA manuSyarUpaM dhRtvAsmAkaM samIpam avArohan|

12 They called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'

te barNabbAM yUpitaram avadan paulazca mukhyo vaktA tasmAt taM markuriyam avadan|

13 And the priest of Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.

tasya nagarasya sammukhe sthApitasya yUpitaravigrahasya yAjako vRSAn puSpamAlAzca dvArasamIpam AnIya lokaiH sarddhaM tAvuddizya samutsRjya dAtum udyataH|

14 But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?

tadvArttAM zrutvA barNabbApaulau svIyavastrANi chitvA lokAnAM madhyaM vegena pravizya proccaiH kathitavantau,

15 We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.

16 In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;

sa IzvaraH pUrvvakAle sarvvadezIyalokAn svasvamArge calitumanumatiM dattavAn,

17 and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."

18 Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.

kintu tAdRzAyAM kathAyAM kathitAyAmapi tayoH samIpa utsarjanAt lokanivahaM prAyeNa nivarttayituM nAzaknutAm|

19 But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.

20 When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;

kintu ziSyagaNe tasya caturdizi tiSThati sati sa svayam utthAya punarapi nagaramadhyaM prAvizat tatpare'hani barNabbAsahito darbbInagaraM gatavAn|

21 and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.

tatra susaMvAdaM pracAryya bahulokAn ziSyAn kRtvA tau lustrAm ikaniyam AntiyakhiyAJca parAvRtya gatau|

22 Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."

bahuduHkhAni bhuktvApIzvararAjyaM praveSTavyam iti kAraNAd dharmmamArge sthAtuM vinayaM kRtvA ziSyagaNasya manaHsthairyyam akurutAM|

23 And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.

24 Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;

pisidiyAmadhyena pAmphuliyAdezaM gatavantau|

25 and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.

26 Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.

tasmAt samudrapathena gatvA tAbhyAM yat karmma sampannaM tatkarmma sAdhayituM yannagare dayAlorIzvarasya haste samarpitau jAtau tad AntiyakhiyAnagaraM gatavantA|

27 Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.

28 And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
