< Acts 21 >

1 When, at last, we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran in a straight course to Cos; the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
تَے رْوِسرِشْٹاح سَنْتو وَیَں پوتَں باہَیِتْوا رِجُمارْگینَ کوشَمْ اُپَدْوِیپَمْ آگَتْیَ پَرےہَنِ رودِیوپَدْوِیپَمْ آگَچّھامَ تَتَسْتَسْماتْ پاتارایامْ اُپاتِشْٹھامَ۔
2 Finding a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and put to sea.
تَتْرَ پھَینِیکِیادیشَگامِنَمْ پوتَمیکَں پْراپْیَ تَمارُہْیَ گَتَوَنْتَح۔
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
کُپْروپَدْوِیپَں درِشْٹْوا تَں سَوْیَدِشِ سْتھاپَیِتْوا سُرِیادیشَں گَتْوا پوتَسْتھَدْرَوْیانْیَوَروہَیِتُں سورَنَگَرے لاگِتَوَنْتَح۔
4 Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem.
تَتْرَ شِشْیَگَنَسْیَ ساکْشاتْکَرَنایَ وَیَں تَتْرَ سَپْتَدِنانِ سْتھِتَوَنْتَح پَشْچاتّے پَوِتْریناتْمَنا پَولَں وْیاہَرَنْ تْوَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں ما گَمَح۔
5 When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
تَتَسْتیشُ سَپْتَسُ دِنیشُ یاپِتیشُ سَتْسُ وَیَں تَسْماتْ سْتھاناتْ نِجَوَرْتْمَنا گَتَوَنْتَح، تَسْماتْ تے سَبالَورِدّھَوَنِتا اَسْمابھِح سَہَ نَگَرَسْیَ پَرِسَرَپَرْیَّنْتَمْ آگَتاح پَشْچادْوَیَں جَلَدھِتَٹے جانُپاتَں پْرارْتھَیامَہِ۔
6 we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home.
تَتَح پَرَسْپَرَں وِسرِشْٹاح سَنْتو وَیَں پوتَں گَتاسْتے تُ سْوَسْوَگرِہَں پْرَتْیاگَتَوَنْتَح۔
7 As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them.
وَیَں سورَنَگَراتْ ناوا پْرَسْتھایَ تَلِمایِنَگَرَمْ اُپاتِشْٹھامَ تَتْراسْماکَں سَمُدْرِییَمارْگَسْیانْتوبھَوَتْ تَتْرَ بھْراترِگَنَں نَمَسْکرِتْیَ دِنَمیکَں تَیح سارْدّھَمْ اُشَتَوَنْتَح۔
8 On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
پَرے ہَنِ پَولَسْتَسْیَ سَنْگِنو وَیَنْچَ پْرَتِشْٹھَماناح کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ آگَتْیَ سُسَںوادَپْرَچارَکاناں سَپْتَجَناناں پھِلِپَنامْنَ ایکَسْیَ گرِہَں پْرَوِشْیاوَتِشْٹھامَ۔
9 Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses;
تَسْیَ چَتَسْرو دُہِتَرونُوڈھا بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنْیَ آسَنْ۔
10 and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea.
تَتْراسْماسُ بَہُدِنانِ پْروشِتیشُ یِہُودِییَدیشادْ آگَتْیاگابَناما بھَوِشْیَدْوادِی سَمُپَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
11 When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'"
سوسْماکَں سَمِیپَمیتْیَ پَولَسْیَ کَٹِبَنْدھَنَں گرِہِیتْوا نِجَہَسْتاپادانْ بَدّھوا بھاشِتَوانْ یَسْییدَں کَٹِبَنْدھَنَں تَں یِہُودِییَلوکا یِرُوشالَمَنَگَرَ اِتّھَں بَدّھوا بھِنَّدیشِییاناں کَریشُ سَمَرْپَیِشْیَنْتِیتِ واکْیَں پَوِتْرَ آتْما کَتھَیَتِ۔
12 As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
ایتادرِشِیں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا وَیَں تَنَّگَرَواسِنو بھْراتَرَشْچَ یِرُوشالَمَں نَ یاتُں پَولَں وْیَنَیامَہِ؛
13 His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus."
کِنْتُ سَ پْرَتْیاوادِیتْ، یُویَں کِں کُرُتھَ؟ کِں کْرَنْدَنینَ مَمانْتَحکَرَنَں وِدِیرْنَں کَرِشْیَتھَ؟ پْرَبھو رْیِیشو رْنامْنو نِمِتَّں یِرُوشالَمِ بَدّھو بھَوِتُں کیوَلَ تَنَّ پْرانانْ داتُمَپِ سَسَجّوسْمِ۔
14 So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
تیناسْماکَں کَتھایامْ اَگرِہِیتایامْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ یَتھیچّھا تَتھَیوَ بھَوَتْوِتْیُکْتْوا وَیَں نِرَسْیامَ۔
15 A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey to Jerusalem.
پَرےہَنِ پاتھییَدْرَوْیانِ گرِہِیتْوا یِرُوشالَمَں پْرَتِ یاتْرامْ اَکُرْمَّ۔
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge.
تَتَح کَیسَرِیانَگَرَنِواسِنَح کَتِپَیاح شِشْیا اَسْمابھِح سارْدّھَمْ اِتْوا کرِپْرِییینَ مْناسَنّامْنا یینَ پْراچِینَشِشْیینَ سارْدّھَمْ اَسْمابھِ رْوَسْتَوْیَں تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ اَسْمانْ نِیتَوَنْتَح۔
17 At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome.
اَسْماسُ یِرُوشالَمْیُپَسْتھِتیشُ تَتْرَسْتھَبھْراترِگَنوسْمانْ آہْلادینَ گرِہِیتَوانْ۔
18 On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also.
پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے پَولےسْمابھِح سَہَ یاکُوبو گرِہَں پْرَوِشْٹے لوکَپْراچِیناح سَرْوّے تَتْرَ پَرِشَدِ سَںسْتھِتاح۔
19 After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality.
اَنَنْتَرَں سَ تانْ نَتْوا سْوِییَپْرَچارَنینَ بھِنَّدیشِییانْ پْرَتِیشْوَرو یانِ کَرْمّانِ سادھِتَوانْ تَدِییاں کَتھامْ اَنُکْرَماتْ کَتھِتَوانْ۔
20 And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
اِتِ شْرُتْوا تے پْرَبھُں دھَنْیَں پْروچْیَ واکْیَمِدَمْ اَبھاشَنْتَ، ہے بھْراتَ رْیِہُودِییاناں مَدھْیے بَہُسَہَسْرانِ لوکا وِشْواسِنَ آسَتے کِنْتُ تے سَرْوّے وْیَوَسْتھامَتاچارِنَ ایتَتْ پْرَتْیَکْشَں پَشْیَسِ۔
21 Now what they have been repeatedly told about you is that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles to abandon Moses, and that you forbid them to circumcise their children or observe old-established customs.
شِشُوناں تْوَکْچھیدَنادْیاچَرَنَں پْرَتِشِدھْیَ تْوَں بھِنَّدیشَنِواسِنو یِہُودِییَلوکانْ مُوساواکْیَمْ اَشْرَدّھاتُمْ اُپَدِشَسِیتِ تَیح شْرُتَمَسْتِ۔
22 What then ought you to do? They are sure to hear that you have come to Jerusalem;
تْوَمَتْراگَتوسِیتِ وارْتّاں سَماکَرْنْیَ جَنَنِوَہو مِلِتْواوَشْیَمیواگَمِشْیَتِ؛ اَتَایوَ کِں کَرَنِییَمْ؟ اَتْرَ وَیَں مَنْتْرَیِتْوا سَمُپایَں تْواں وَدامَسْتَں تْوَماچَرَ۔
23 so do this which we now tell you. We have four men here who have a vow resting on them.
وْرَتَں کَرْتُّں کرِتَسَنْکَلْپا یےسْماںکَ چَتْوارو مانَواح سَنْتِ
24 Associate with these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they can shave their heads. Then everybody will know that there is no truth in these stories about you, but that in your own actions you yourself scrupulously obey the Law.
تانْ گرِہِیتْوا تَیح سَہِتَح سْوَں شُچِں کُرُ تَتھا تیشاں شِرومُنْڈَنے یو وْیَیو بھَوَتِ تَں تْوَں دیہِ۔ تَتھا کرِتے تْوَدِییاچارے یا جَنَشْرُتِ رْجایَتے سالِیکا کِنْتُ تْوَں وِدھِں پالَیَنْ وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینیواچَرَسِیتِ تے بھوتْسَنْتے۔
25 But as for the Gentiles who have accepted the faith, we have communicated to them our decision that they are carefully to abstain from anything sacrificed to an idol, from blood, from what is strangled, and from fornication."
بھِنَّدیشِییاناں وِشْواسِلوکاناں نِکَٹے وَیَں پَتْرَں لِکھِتْویتّھَں سْتھِرِیکرِتَوَنْتَح، دیوَپْرَسادَبھوجَنَں رَکْتَں گَلَپِیڈَنَمارِتَپْرانِبھوجَنَں وْیَبھِچارَشْچَیتیبھْیَح سْوَرَکْشَنَوْیَتِریکینَ تیشامَنْیَوِدھِپالَنَں کَرَنِییَں نَ۔
26 So Paul associated with the men; and the next day, having purified himself with them, he went into the Temple, giving every one to understand that the days of their purification were finished, and there he remained until the sacrifice for each of them was offered.
تَتَح پَولَسْتانْ مانُشانادایَ پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے تَیح سَہَ شُچِ رْبھُوتْوا مَنْدِرَں گَتْوا شَوچَکَرْمَّنو دِنیشُ سَمْپُورْنیشُ تیشامْ ایکَیکارْتھَں نَیویدْیادْیُتْسَرْگو بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ جْناپِتَوانْ۔
27 But, when the seven days were nearly over, the Jews from the province of Asia, having seen Paul in the Temple, set about rousing the fury of all the people against him.
تیشُ سَپْتَسُ دِنیشُ سَماپْتَکَلْپیشُ آشِیادیشَنِواسِنو یِہُودِییاسْتَں مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں وِلوکْیَ جَنَنِوَہَسْیَ مَنَحسُ کُپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیِتْوا تَں دھرِتْوا
28 They laid hands on him, crying out, "Men of Israel, help! help! This is the man who goes everywhere preaching to everybody against the Jewish people and the Law and this place. And besides, he has even brought Gentiles into the Temple and has desecrated this holy place."
پْروچَّیح پْراووچَنْ، ہے اِسْراییلّوکاح سَرْوّے ساہایَّں کُرُتَ۔ یو مَنُجَ ایتیشاں لوکاناں مُوساوْیَوَسْتھایا ایتَسْیَ سْتھانَسْیاپِ وِپَرِیتَں سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوّانْ شِکْشَیَتِ سَ ایشَح؛ وِشیشَتَح سَ بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکانْ مَنْدِرَمْ آنِییَ پَوِتْرَسْتھانَمیتَدْ اَپَوِتْرَمَکَروتْ۔
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and imagined that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
پُورْوَّں تے مَدھْیینَگَرَمْ اِپھِشَنَگَرِییَں تْرَپھِمَں پَولینَ سَہِتَں درِشْٹَوَنْتَ ایتَسْماتْ پَولَسْتَں مَنْدِرَمَدھْیَمْ آنَیَدْ اِتْیَنْوَمِمَتَ۔
30 The excitement spread through the whole city, and the people rushed in crowds to the Temple, and there laid hold of Paul and began to drag him out; and the Temple gates were immediately closed.
اَتَایوَ سَرْوَّسْمِنْ نَگَرے کَلَہوتْپَنَّتْواتْ دھاوَنْتو لوکا آگَتْیَ پَولَں دھرِتْوا مَنْدِرَسْیَ بَہِراکرِشْیانَیَنْ تَتْکْشَنادْ دْوارانِ سَرْوّانِ چَ رُدّھانِ۔
31 But while they were trying to kill Paul, word was taken up to the Tribune in command of the battalion, that all Jerusalem was in a ferment.
تیشُ تَں ہَنْتُمُدْیَتےشُ یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرے مَہانُپَدْرَوو جاتَ اِتِ وارْتّایاں سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح کَرْنَگوچَرِیبھُوتایاں سَتْیاں سَ تَتْکْشَناتْ سَینْیانِ سیناپَتِگَنَنْچَ گرِہِیتْوا جَویناگَتَوانْ۔
32 He instantly sent for a few soldiers and their officers, and came down among the people with all speed. At the sight of the Tribune and the troops they ceased beating Paul.
تَتو لوکاح سیناگَنینَ سَہَ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِمْ آگَچّھَنْتَں درِشْٹْوا پَولَتاڈَناتو نْیَوَرْتَّنْتَ۔
33 Then the Tribune, making his way to him, arrested him, and, having ordered him to be secured with two chains, proceeded to ask who he was and what he had been doing.
سَ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح سَنِّدھاواگَمْیَ پَولَں دھرِتْوا شرِنْکھَلَدْوَیینَ بَدّھَمْ آدِشْیَ تانْ پرِشْٹَوانْ ایشَ کَح؟ کِں کَرْمَّ چایَں کرِتَوانْ؟
34 Some of the crowd shouted one accusation against Paul and some another, until, as the uproar made it impossible for the truth to be ascertained with certainty, the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
تَتو جَنَسَمُوہَسْیَ کَشْچِدْ ایکَپْرَکارَں کَشْچِدْ اَنْیَپْرَکارَں واکْیَمْ اَرَوتْ سَ تَتْرَ سَتْیَں جْناتُمْ کَلَہَکارَنادْ اَشَکْتَح سَنْ تَں دُرْگَں نیتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْ۔
35 When Paul was going up the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob;
تیشُ سوپانَسْیوپَرِ پْراپْتیشُ لوکاناں ساہَسَکارَناتْ سیناگَنَح پَولَمُتّولْیَ نِیتَوانْ۔
36 for the whole mass of the people pressed on in the rear, shouting, "Away with him!"
تَتَح سَرْوّے لوکاح پَشْچادْگامِنَح سَنْتَ اینَں دُرِیکُرُتیتِ واکْیَمْ اُچَّیرَوَدَنْ۔
37 When he was about to be taken into the barracks, Paul said to the Tribune, "May I speak to you?" "Do you know Greek?" the Tribune asked.
پَولَسْیَ دُرْگانَیَنَسَمَیے سَ تَسْمَے سَہَسْرَسیناپَتَیے کَتھِتَوانْ، بھَوَتَح پُرَسْتاتْ کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں کِمْ اَنُمَنْیَتے؟ سَ تَمَپرِچّھَتْ تْوَں کِں یُونانِییاں بھاشاں جاناسِ؟
38 "Are you not the Egyptian who some years ago excited the riot of the 4,000 cut-throats, and led them out into the Desert?"
یو مِسَرِییو جَنَح پُورْوَّں وِرودھَں کرِتْوا چَتْوارِ سَہَسْرانِ گھاتَکانْ سَنْگِنَح کرِتْوا وِپِنَں گَتَوانْ تْوَں کِں سَایوَ نَ بھَوَسِ؟
39 "I am a Jew," replied Paul, "belonging to Tarsus in Cilicia, and am a citizen of no unimportant city. Give me leave, I pray you, to speak to the people."
تَدا پَولوکَتھَیَتْ اَہَں کِلِکِیادیشَسْیَ تارْشَنَگَرِییو یِہُودِییو، ناہَں سامانْیَنَگَرِییو مانَوَح؛ اَتَایوَ وِنَیےہَں لاکاناں سَمَکْشَں کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں مامَنُجانِیشْوَ۔
40 So with his permission Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people to be quiet; and when there was perfect silence he addressed them in Hebrew.
تینانُجْناتَح پَولَح سوپانوپَرِ تِشْٹھَنْ ہَسْتینینْگِتَں کرِتَوانْ، تَسْماتْ سَرْوّے سُسْتھِرا اَبھَوَنْ۔ تَدا پَولَ اِبْرِییَبھاشَیا کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ،
