Acts 19
1 During the stay of Apollos in Corinth, Paul, after passing through the inland districts, came to Ephesus, where he found a few disciples.
| کَرِنْتھَنَگَرَ آپَلَّسَح سْتھِتِکالے پَولَ اُتَّرَپْرَدیشَیراگَچّھَنْ اِپھِشَنَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ تَتْرَ کَتِپَیَشِشْیانْ ساکْشَتْ پْراپْیَ تانْ اَپرِچّھَتْ، |
2 "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you first believed?" he asked them. "No," they replied, "we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit."
| یُویَں وِشْوَسْیَ پَوِتْرَماتْمانَں پْراپْتا نَ وا؟ تَتَسْتے پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ پَوِتْرَ آتْما دِییَتے اِتْیَسْمابھِح شْرُتَمَپِ نَہِ۔ |
3 "Into what then were you baptized?" he asked. "Into John's baptism," they replied.
| تَدا ساوَدَتْ تَرْہِ یُویَں کینَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَتَ؟ تےکَتھَیَنْ یوہَنو مَجَّنینَ۔ |
4 "John," he said, "administered a baptism of repentance, bidding the people believe on One who was to come after him; namely, on Jesus."
| تَدا پَولَ اُکْتَوانْ اِتَح پَرَں یَ اُپَسْتھاسْیَتِ تَسْمِنْ اَرْتھَتَ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹے وِشْوَسِتَوْیَمِتْیُکْتْوا یوہَنْ مَنَحپَرِوَرْتَّنَسُوچَکینَ مَجَّنینَ جَلے لوکانْ اَمَجَّیَتْ۔ |
5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
| تادرِشِیں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا تے پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ نامْنا مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔ |
6 and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.
| تَتَح پَولینَ تیشاں گاتْریشُ کَرےرْپِتے تیشامُپَرِ پَوِتْرَ آتْماوَرُوڈھَوانْ، تَسْماتْ تے نانادیشِییا بھاشا بھَوِشْیَتْکَتھاشْچَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
7 They numbered in all about twelve men.
| تے پْرایینَ دْوادَشَجَنا آسَنْ۔ |
8 Afterwards he went into the synagogue. There for three months he continued to preach fearlessly, explaining in words which carried conviction the truths which concern the Kingdom of God.
| پَولو بھَجَنَبھَوَنَں گَتْوا پْرایینَ ماسَتْرَیَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَسْیَ وِچارَں کرِتْوا لوکانْ پْرَوَرْتْیَ ساہَسینَ کَتھامَکَتھَیَتْ۔ |
9 But some grew obstinate in unbelief and spoke evil of the new faith before all the congregation. So Paul left them, and, taking with him those who were disciples, held discussions daily in Tyrannus's lecture-hall.
| کِنْتُ کَٹھِنانْتَحکَرَنَتْواتْ کِیَنْتو جَنا نَ وِشْوَسْیَ سَرْوّیشاں سَمَکْشَمْ ایتَتْپَتھَسْیَ نِنْداں کَرْتُّں پْرَورِتّاح، اَتَح پَولَسْتیشاں سَمِیپاتْ پْرَسْتھایَ شِشْیَگَنَں پرِتھَکّرِتْوا پْرَتْیَہَں تُرانَّنامْنَح کَسْیَچِتْ جَنَسْیَ پاٹھَشالایاں وِچارَں کرِتَوانْ۔ |
10 This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of the province of Asia, Jews as well as Greeks, heard the Lord's Message.
| اِتّھَں وَتْسَرَدْوَیَں گَتَں تَسْمادْ آشِیادیشَنِواسِنَح سَرْوّے یِہُودِییا اَنْیَدیشِییَلوکاشْچَ پْرَبھو رْیِیشوح کَتھامْ اَشْرَوشَنْ۔ |
11 God also brought about extraordinary miracles through Paul's instrumentality.
| پَولینَ چَ اِیشْوَرَ ایتادرِشانْیَدْبھُتانِ کَرْمّانِ کرِتَوانْ |
12 Towels or aprons, for instance, which Paul had handled used to be carried to the sick, and they recovered from their ailments, or the evil spirits left them.
| یَتْ پَرِدھییے گاتْرَمارْجَنَوَسْتْرے وا تَسْیَ دیہاتْ پِیڈِتَلوکانامْ سَمِیپَمْ آنِیتے تے نِرامَیا جاتا اَپَوِتْرا بھُوتاشْچَ تیبھْیو بَہِرْگَتَوَنْتَح۔ |
13 But there were also some wandering Jewish exorcists who undertook to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
| تَدا دیشاٹَنَکارِنَح کِیَنْتو یِہُودِییا بھُوتاپَسارِنو بھُوتَگْرَسْتَنوکاناں سَنِّدھَو پْرَبھے رْیِیشو رْنامَ جَپْتْوا واکْیَمِدَمْ اَوَدَنْ، یَسْیَ کَتھاں پَولَح پْرَچارَیَتِ تَسْیَ یِیشو رْنامْنا یُشْمانْ آجْناپَیامَح۔ |
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew of high-priestly family, who were doing this.
| سْکِوَنامْنو یِہُودِییاناں پْرَدھانَیاجَکَسْیَ سَپْتَبھِح پُتَّیسْتَتھا کرِتے سَتِ |
15 "Jesus I know," the evil spirit answered, "and Paul I have heard of, but who are you?"
| کَشْچِدْ اَپَوِتْرو بھُوتَح پْرَتْیُدِتَوانْ، یِیشُں جانامِ پَولَنْچَ پَرِچِنومِ کِنْتُ کے یُویَں؟ |
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was sprang on two of them, over-mastered them both, and treated them with such violence, that they fled from the house stripped of their clothes and wounded.
| اِتْیُکْتْوا سوپَوِتْرَبھُوتَگْرَسْتو مَنُشْیو لَمْپھَں کرِتْوا تیشامُپَرِ پَتِتْوا بَلینَ تانْ جِتَوانْ، تَسْماتّے نَگْناح کْشَتانْگاشْچَ سَنْتَسْتَسْمادْ گیہاتْ پَلایَنْتَ۔ |
17 All the people of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks, came to know of this. There was widespread terror, and they began to hold the name of the Lord Jesus in high honour.
| سا واگْ اِپھِشَنَگَرَنِواسِنَسَں سَرْوّیشاں یِہُودِییاناں بھِنَّدیشِییاناں لوکانانْچَ شْرَووگوچَرِیبھُوتا؛ تَتَح سَرْوّے بھَیَں گَتاح پْرَبھو رْیِیشو رْنامْنو یَشو وَرْدّھَتَ۔ |
18 Many also of those who believed came confessing without reserve what their conduct had been,
| ییشامَنیکیشاں لوکاناں پْرَتِیتِرَجایَتَ تَ آگَتْیَ سْوَیح کرِتاح کْرِیاح پْرَکاشَرُوپینانْگِیکرِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
19 and not a few of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together and burnt them in the presence of all. The total value was reckoned and found to be 50,000 silver coins.
| بَہَوو مایاکَرْمَّکارِنَح سْوَسْوَگْرَنْتھانْ آنِییَ راشِیکرِتْیَ سَرْوّیشاں سَمَکْشَمْ اَداہَیَنْ، تَتو گَنَناں کرِتْوابُدھْیَنْتَ پَنْچایُتَرُوپْیَمُدْرامُولْیَپُسْتَکانِ دَگْدھانِ۔ |
20 Thus mightily did the Lord's Message spread and triumph!
| اِتّھَں پْرَبھوح کَتھا سَرْوَّدیشَں وْیاپْیَ پْرَبَلا جاتا۔ |
21 When matters had reached this point, Paul decided in his own mind to travel through Macedonia and Greece, and go to Jerusalem. "After that," he said, "I must also see Rome."
| سَرْوّیشْویتیشُ کَرْمَّسُ سَمْپَنّیشُ سَتْسُ پَولو ماکِدَنِیاکھایادیشابھْیاں یِرُوشالَمَں گَنْتُں مَتِں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ تَتْسْتھانَں یاتْرایاں کرِتایاں سَتْیاں مَیا رومانَگَرَں دْرَشْٹَوْیَں۔ |
22 But he sent two of his assistants, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he himself remained for a while in Roman Asia.
| سْوانُگَتَلوکاناں تِیمَتھِییراسْتَو دْوَو جَنَو ماکِدَنِیادیشَں پْرَتِ پْرَہِتْیَ سْوَیَمْ آشِیادیشے کَتِپَیَدِنانِ سْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
23 Now just at that time there arose no small commotion about the new faith.
| کِنْتُ تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے مَتےسْمِنْ کَلَہو جاتَح۔ |
24 There was a certain Demetrius, a silversmith, who made miniature silver sanctuaries of Diana, a business which brought great gain to the mechanics in his employ.
| تَتْکارَنَمِدَں، اَرْتِّمِیدیوْیا رُوپْیَمَنْدِرَنِرْمّانینَ سَرْوّیشاں شِلْپِناں یَتھیشْٹَلابھَمْ اَجَنَیَتْ یو دِیمِیتْرِیَناما ناڈِینْدھَمَح |
25 He called his workmen together, and others who were engaged in similar trades, and said to them, "You men well know that our prosperity depends on this business of ours;
| سَ تانْ تَتْکَرْمَّجِیوِنَح سَرْوَّلوکاںشْچَ سَماہُویَ بھاشِتَوانْ ہے مَہیچّھا ایتینَ مَنْدِرَنِرْمّانیناسْماکَں جِیوِکا بھَوَتِ، ایتَدْ یُویَں وِتّھَ؛ |
26 and you see and hear that, not in Ephesus only but throughout almost the whole province of Asia, this fellow Paul has led away a vast number of people by inducing them to believe that they are not gods at all that are made by men's hands.
| کِنْتُ ہَسْتَنِرْمِّتیشْوَرا اِیشْوَرا نَہِ پَولَنامْنا کینَچِجَّنینَ کَتھامِماں وْیاہرِتْیَ کیوَلیپھِشَنَگَرے نَہِ پْرایینَ سَرْوَّسْمِنْ آشِیادیشے پْرَورِتِّں گْراہَیِتْوا بَہُلوکاناں شیمُشِی پَراوَرْتِّتا، ایتَدْ یُشْمابھِ رْدرِشْیَتے شْرُویَتے چَ۔ |
27 There is danger, therefore, not only that this our trade will become of no account, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will fall into utter disrepute, and that before long she will be actually deposed from her majestic rank--she who is now worshipped by the whole province of Asia; nay, by the whole world."
| تیناسْماکَں وانِجْیَسْیَ سَرْوَّتھا ہانیح سَمْبھَوَنَں کیوَلَمِتِ نَہِ، آشِیادیشَسْتھَے رْوا سَرْوَّجَگَتْسْتھَے رْلوکَیح پُوجْیا یارْتِمِی مَہادیوِی تَسْیا مَنْدِرَسْیاوَجْنانَسْیَ تَسْیا اَیشْوَرْیَّسْیَ ناشَسْیَ چَ سَمْبھاوَنا وِدْیَتے۔ |
28 After listening to this harangue, they became furiously angry and kept calling out, "Great is the Ephesian Diana!"
| ایتادرِشِیں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا تے مَہاکْرودھانْوِتاح سَنْتَ اُچَّیحکارَں کَتھِتَوَنْتَ اِپھِشِییانامْ اَرْتِّمِی دیوِی مَہَتِی بھَوَتِ۔ |
29 The riot and uproar spread through the whole city, till at last with one accord they rushed into the Theatre, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, two Macedonians who were fellow travellers with Paul.
| تَتَح سَرْوَّنَگَرَں کَلَہینَ پَرِپُورْنَمَبھَوَتْ، تَتَح پَرَں تے ماکِدَنِییَگایارِسْتارْکھَنامانَو پَولَسْیَ دْوَو سَہَچَرَو دھرِتْوَیکَچِتّا رَنْگَبھُومِں جَوینَ دھاوِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
30 Then Paul would have liked to go in and address the people, but the disciples would not let him do so.
| تَتَح پَولو لوکاناں سَنِّدھِں یاتُمْ اُدْیَتَوانْ کِنْتُ شِشْیَگَنَسْتَں وارِتَوانْ۔ |
31 A few of the public officials, too, who were friendly to him, sent repeated messages entreating him not to venture into the Theatre.
| پَولَسْیَتْمِییا آشِیادیشَسْتھاح کَتِپَیاح پْرَدھانَلوکاسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپَں نَرَمیکَں پْریشْیَ تْوَں رَنْگَبھُومِں ماگا اِتِ نْیَویدَیَنْ۔ |
32 The people, meanwhile, kept shouting, some one thing and some another; for the assembly was all uproar and confusion, and the greater part had no idea why they had come together.
| تَتو نانالوکاناں ناناکَتھاکَتھَناتْ سَبھا وْیاکُلا جاتا کِں کارَنادْ ایتاوَتِی جَنَتابھَوَتْ ایتَدْ اَدھِکَے رْلوکَے رْناجْنایِ۔ |
33 Then some of the people crowded round Alexander, whom the Jews had pushed forward; and Alexander, motioning with his hand to get silence, was prepared to make a defence to the people.
| تَتَح پَرَں جَنَتامَدھْیادْ یِہُودِییَیرْبَہِشْکرِتَح سِکَنْدَرو ہَسْتینَ سَنْکیتَں کرِتْوا لوکیبھْیَ اُتَّرَں داتُمُدْیَتَوانْ، |
34 No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. "Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.
| کِنْتُ سَ یِہُودِییَلوکَ اِتِ نِشْچِتے سَتِ اِپھِشِییانامْ اَرْتِّمِی دیوِی مَہَتِیتِ واکْیَں پْرایینَ پَنْچَ دَنْڈانْ یاوَدْ ایکَسْوَرینَ لوکَنِوَہَیح پْروکْتَں۔ |
35 At length the Recorder quieted them down. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who is there of all mankind that needs to be told that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
| تَتو نَگَرادھِپَتِسْتانْ سْتھِرانْ کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ ہے اِپھِشایاح سَرْوّے لوکا آکَرْنَیَتَ، اَرْتِمِیمَہادیوْیا مَہادیواتْ پَتِتایاسْتَتْپْرَتِمایاشْچَ پُوجَنَمَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَسْتھاح سَرْوّے لوکاح کُرْوَّنْتِ، ایتَتْ کے نَ جانَنْتِ؟ |
36 These facts, then, being unquestioned, it becomes you to maintain your self-control and not act recklessly.
| تَسْمادْ ایتَتْپْرَتِکُولَں کیپِ کَتھَیِتُں نَ شَکْنُوَنْتِ، اِتِ جْناتْوا یُشْمابھِح سُسْتھِرَتْوینَ سْتھاتَوْیَمْ اَوِوِچْیَ کِمَپِ کَرْمَّ نَ کَرْتَّوْیَنْچَ۔ |
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
| یانْ ایتانْ مَنُشْیانْ یُویَمَتْرَ سَمانَیَتَ تے مَنْدِرَدْرَوْیاپَہارَکا یُشْماکَں دیوْیا نِنْدَکاشْچَ نَ بھَوَنْتِ۔ |
38 If, however, Demetrius and the mechanics who support his contention have a grievance against any one, there are Assize-days and there are Proconsuls: let the persons interested accuse one another.
| یَدِ کَنْچَنَ پْرَتِ دِیمِیتْرِیَسْیَ تَسْیَ سَہایانانْچَ کاچِدْ آپَتِّ رْوِدْیَتے تَرْہِ پْرَتِنِدھِلوکا وِچارَسْتھانَنْچَ سَنْتِ، تے تَتْ سْتھانَں گَتْوا اُتَّرَپْرَتْیُتَّرے کُرْوَّنْتُ۔ |
39 But if you desire anything further, it will have to be settled in the regular assembly.
| کِنْتُ یُشْماکَں کاچِدَپَرا کَتھا یَدِ تِشْٹھَتِ تَرْہِ نِیَمِتایاں سَبھایاں تَسْیا نِشْپَتِّ رْبھَوِشْیَتِ۔ |
40 For in connexion with to-day's proceedings there is danger of our being charged with attempted insurrection, there having been no real reason for this riot; nor shall we be able to justify the behaviour of this disorderly mob."
| کِنْتْویتَسْیَ وِرودھَسْیوتَّرَں یینَ داتُں شَکْنُمْ ایتادرِشَسْیَ کَسْیَچِتْ کارَنَسْیابھاوادْ اَدْیَتَنَگھَٹَناہیتو راجَدْروہِنامِواسْماکَمْ اَبھِیوگو بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ شَنْکا وِدْیَتے۔ |
41 With these words he dismissed the assembly.
| اِتِ کَتھَیِتْوا سَ سَبھاسْتھَلوکانْ وِسرِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
