Acts 18
1 After this he left Athens and came to Corinth.
| تَدْگھَٹَناتَح پَرَں پَولَ آتھِینِینَگَرادْ یاتْراں کرِتْوا کَرِنْتھَنَگَرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ۔ |
2 Here he found a Jew, a native of Pontus, of the name of Aquila. He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So 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 because he was of the same trade--that of tent-maker--he lodged with them and worked with them.
| تَو دُوشْیَنِرْمّانَجِیوِنَو، تَسْماتْ پَرَسْپَرَمْ ایکَورِتِّکَتْواتْ سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ اُشِتْوا تَتْ کَرْمّاکَروتْ۔ |
4 But, Sabbath after Sabbath, he preached in the synagogue and tried to win over both Jews and Greeks.
| پَولَح پْرَتِوِشْرامَوارَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَں گَتْوا وِچارَں کرِتْوا یِہُودِییانْ اَنْیَدیشِییاںشْچَ پْرَورِتِّں گْراہِتَوانْ۔ |
5 Now at the time when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was preaching fervently and was solemnly telling the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
| سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَیو رْماکِدَنِیادیشاتْ سَمیتَیوح سَتوح پَولَ اُتَّپْتَمَنا بھُوتْوا یِیشُرِیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتو بھَوَتِیتِ پْرَمانَں یِہُودِییاناں سَمِیپے پْراداتْ۔ |
6 But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among 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 the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His house was next door to the synagogue.
| سَ تَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھایَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنَسَمِیپَسْتھَسْیَ یُسْتَنامْنَ اِیشْوَرَبھَکْتَسْیَ بھِنَّدیشِییَسْیَ نِویشَنَں پْراوِشَتْ۔ |
8 And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.
| تَتَح کْرِیشْپَناما بھَجَنَبھَوَنادھِپَتِح سَپَرِوارَح پْرَبھَو وْیَشْوَسِیتْ، کَرِنْتھَنَگَرِییا بَہَوو لوکاشْچَ سَماکَرْنْیَ وِشْوَسْیَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔ |
9 And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up.
| کْشَنَدایاں پْرَبھُح پَولَں دَرْشَنَں دَتْوا بھاشِتَوانْ، ما بھَیشِیح، ما نِرَسِیح کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَ۔ |
10 I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."
| اَہَں تْوَیا سارْدّھَمْ آسَ ہِںسارْتھَں کوپِ تْواں سْپْرَشْٹُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ نَگَرےسْمِنْ مَدِییا لوکا بَہَوَ آسَتے۔ |
11 So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.
| تَسْماتْ پَولَسْتَنَّگَرے پْرایینَ سارْدّھَوَتْسَرَپَرْیَّنْتَں سَںسْتھاییشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اُپادِشَتْ۔ |
12 But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.
| گالِّیَناما کَشْچِدْ آکھایادیشَسْیَ پْراڈْوِواکَح سَمَبھَوَتْ، تَتو یِہُودِییا ایکَواکْیاح سَنْتَح پَولَمْ آکْرَمْیَ وِچارَسْتھانَں نِیتْوا |
13 "This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God."
| مانُشَ ایشَ وْیَوَسْتھایَ وِرُدّھَمْ اِیشْوَرَبھَجَنَں کَرْتُّں لوکانْ کُپْرَورِتِّں گْراہَیَتِیتِ نِویدِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
14 But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews.
| تَتَح پَولے پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُمْ اُدْیَتے سَتِ گالِّیا یِہُودِییانْ وْیاہَرَتْ، یَدِ کَسْیَچِدْ اَنْیایَسْیَ واتِشَیَدُشْٹَتاچَرَنَسْیَ وِچاروبھَوِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَں کَتھا مَیا سَہَنِییابھَوِشْیَتْ۔ |
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse 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 So he ordered them out of court.
| تَتَح سَ تانْ وِچارَسْتھانادْ دُورِیکرِتَوانْ۔ |
17 Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.
| تَدا بھِنَّدیشِییاح سوسْتھِنِنامانَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَسْیَ پْرَدھانادھِپَتِں دھرِتْوا وِچارَسْتھانَسْیَ سَمُّکھے پْراہَرَنْ تَتھاپِ گالِّیا تیشُ سَرْوَّکَرْمَّسُ نَ مَنو نْیَدَدھاتْ۔ |
18 After remaining a considerable time longer in Corinth, Paul took leave of the brethren and set sail for Syria; and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, because he was bound by a vow.
| پَولَسْتَتْرَ پُنَرْبَہُدِنانِ نْیَوَسَتْ، تَتو بھْراترِگَنادْ وِسَرْجَنَں پْراپْیَ کِنْچَنَوْرَتَنِمِتَّں کِںکْرِیانَگَرے شِرو مُنْڈَیِتْوا پْرِسْکِلّاکِّلابھْیاں سَہِتو جَلَپَتھینَ سُرِیادیشَں گَتَوانْ۔ |
19 They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
| تَتَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَ اُپَسْتھایَ تَتْرَ تَو وِسرِجْیَ سْوَیَں بھَجَنَبھْوَنَں پْرَوِشْیَ یِہُودِییَیح سَہَ وِچارِتَوانْ۔ |
20 When they asked him to remain longer he did not consent,
| تے سْوَیح سارْدّھَں پُنَح کَتِپَیَدِنانِ سْتھاتُں تَں وْیَنَیَنْ، سَ تَدَنُرَرِیکرِتْیَ کَتھامیتاں کَتھِتَوانْ، |
21 but took leave of them with the promise, "I will return to you, God willing." So he set sail from Ephesus.
| یِرُوشالَمِ آگامْیُتْسَوَپالَنارْتھَں مَیا گَمَنِییَں؛ پَشْچادْ اِیشْوَریچّھایاں جاتایاں یُشْماکَں سَمِیپَں پْرَتْیاگَمِشْیامِ۔ تَتَح پَرَں سَ تَے رْوِسرِشْٹَح سَنْ جَلَپَتھینَ اِپھِشَنَگَراتْ پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
22 Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after the welfare of the Church, and then went down to Antioch.
| تَتَح کَیسَرِیامْ اُپَسْتھِتَح سَنْ نَگَرَں گَتْوا سَماجَں نَمَسْکرِتْیَ تَسْمادْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour, visiting the whole of Galatia and Phrygia in order, and strengthening all the disciples.
| تَتْرَ کِیَتْکالَں یاپَیِتْوا تَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھایَ سَرْوّیشاں شِشْیاناں مَناںسِ سُسْتھِرانِ کرِتْوا کْرَمَشو گَلاتِیاپھْرُگِیادیشَیو رْبھْرَمِتْوا گَتَوانْ۔ |
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, a man of great learning and well versed in the Scriptures.
| تَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے سِکَنْدَرِیانَگَرے جاتَ آپَلّوناما شاسْتْرَوِتْ سُوَکْتا یِہُودِییَ ایکو جَنَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَمْ آگَتَوانْ۔ |
25 He had been instructed by word of mouth in the way of the Lord, and, being full of burning zeal, he used to speak and teach accurately 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 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila, after hearing him, took him home and explained God's way to him more accurately.
| ایشَ جَنو نِرْبھَیَتْوینَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبْدھَوانْ، تَتَح پْرِسْکِلّاکِّلَو تَسْیوپَدیشَکَتھاں نِشَمْیَ تَں سْوَیوح سَمِیپَمْ آنِییَ شُدّھَرُوپینیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اَبودھَیَتامْ۔ |
27 Then, as he had made up his mind to cross over into Greece, the brethren wrote to the disciples in Corinth begging them to give him a kindly welcome. Upon his arrival he rendered valuable help to those who through grace had believed;
| 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 powerfully and in public overcame the Jews in argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
| پھَلَتو یِیشُرَبھِشِکْتَسْتْراتیتِ شاسْتْرَپْرَمانَں دَتْوا پْرَکاشَرُوپینَ پْرَتِپَنَّں کرِتْوا یِہُودِییانْ نِرُتَّرانْ کرِتَوانْ۔ |
