Acts 22
1 "Brethren and fathers," he said, "listen to my defence which I now make before you."
| ہے پِترِگَنا ہے بھْراترِگَناح، اِدانِیں مَمَ نِویدَنے سَمَوَدھَتَّ۔ |
2 And on hearing him address them in Hebrew, they kept all the more quiet; and he said,
| تَدا سَ اِبْرِییَبھاشَیا کَتھاں کَتھَیَتِیتِ شْرُتْوا سَرْوّے لوکا اَتِیوَ نِحشَبْدا سَنْتوتِشْٹھَنْ۔ |
3 "I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I was carefully trained at the feet of Gamaliel in the Law of our forefathers, and, like all of you to-day, was zealous for God.
| پَشْچاتْ سوکَتھَیَدْ اَہَں یِہُودِییَ اِتِ نِشْچَیَح کِلِکِیادیشَسْیَ تارْشَنَگَرَں مَمَ جَنْمَبھُومِح،ایتَنَّگَرِییَسْیَ گَمِلِیییلَنامْنودھْیاپَکَسْیَ شِشْیو بھُوتْوا پُورْوَّپُرُشاناں وِدھِوْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ سَمْپُورْنَرُوپینَ شِکْشِتوبھَوَمْ اِدانِینْتَنا یُویَں یادرِشا بھَوَتھَ تادرِشوہَمَپِیشْوَرَسیوایامْ اُدْیوگِی جاتَح۔ |
4 I persecuted to death this new faith, continually binding both men and women and throwing them into prison;
| مَتَمیتَدْ دْوِشْٹْوا تَدْگْراہِنارِیپُرُشانْ کارایاں بَدّھوا تیشاں پْرانَناشَپَرْیَّنْتاں وِپَکْشَتامْ اَکَرَوَمْ۔ |
5 as the High Priest also and all the Elders can bear me witness. It was, too, from them that I received letters to the brethren in Damascus, and I was already on my way to Damascus, intending to bring those also who had fled there, in chains to Jerusalem, to be punished.
| مَہایاجَکَح سَبھاسَدَح پْراچِینَلوکاشْچَ مَمَیتَسْیاح کَتھایاح پْرَمانَں داتُں شَکْنُوَنْتِ، یَسْماتْ تیشاں سَمِیپادْ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَنِواسِبھْراترِگَنارْتھَمْ آجْناپَتْرانِ گرِہِیتْوا یے تَتْرَ سْتھِتاسْتانْ دَنْڈَیِتُں یِرُوشالَمَمْ آنَیَنارْتھَں دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَں گَتوسْمِ۔ |
6 "But on my way, when I was now not far from Damascus, about noon a sudden blaze of light from Heaven shone round me.
| کِنْتُ گَچّھَنْ تَنَّگَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَں پْراپْتَوانْ تَدا دْوِتِییَپْرَہَرَویلایاں سَتْیامْ اَکَسْمادْ گَگَنانِّرْگَتْیَ مَہَتِی دِیپْتِ رْمَمَ چَتُرْدِشِ پْرَکاشِتَوَتِی۔ |
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, "'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'
| تَتو مَیِ بھُومَو پَتِتے سَتِ، ہے شَولَ ہے شَولَ کُتو ماں تاڈَیَسِ؟ مامْپْرَتِ بھاشِتَ ایتادرِشَ ایکو رَووپِ مَیا شْرُتَح۔ |
8 "'Who art thou, Lord?' I asked. "'I am Jesus, the Nazarene,' He replied, 'whom you are persecuting.'
| تَداہَں پْرَتْیَوَدَں، ہے پْرَبھے کو بھَوانْ؟ تَتَح سووادِیتْ یَں تْوَں تاڈَیَسِ سَ ناسَرَتِییو یِیشُرَہَں۔ |
9 "Now the men who were with me, though they saw the light, did not hear the words of Him who spoke to me.
| مَمَ سَنْگِنو لوکاسْتاں دِیپْتِں درِشْٹْوا بھِیَں پْراپْتاح، کِنْتُ مامْپْرَتْیُدِتَں تَدْواکْیَں تے نابُدھْیَنْتَ۔ |
10 And I asked, "'What am I to do, Lord?' "And the Lord said to me, "'Rise, and go into Damascus. There you shall be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.'
| تَتَح پَرَں پرِشْٹَوانَہَں، ہے پْرَبھو مَیا کِں کَرْتَّوْیَں؟ تَتَح پْرَبھُرَکَتھَیَتْ، اُتّھایَ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَں یاہِ تْوَیا یَدْیَتْ کَرْتَّوْیَں نِرُوپِتَماسْتے تَتْ تَتْرَ تْوَں جْناپَیِشْیَسے۔ |
11 "And as I could not see because the light had been so dazzling, those who were with me had to lead me by the arm, and so I came to Damascus.
| اَنَنْتَرَں تَسْیاح کھَرَتَرَدِیپْتیح کارَناتْ کِمَپِ نَ درِشْٹْوا سَنْگِگَنینَ دھرِتَہَسْتَح سَنْ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَں وْرَجِتَوانْ۔ |
12 "And a certain Ananias, a pious man who obeyed the Law and bore a good character with all the Jews of the city,
| تَنَّگَرَنِواسِناں سَرْوّیشاں یِہُودِییاناں مانْیو وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ بھَکْتَشْچَ ہَنانِییَناما مانَوَ ایکو |
13 came to me and standing at my side said, "'Brother Saul, recover your sight.' "I instantly regained my sight and looked up at him.
| مَمَ سَنِّدھِمْ ایتْیَ تِشْٹھَنْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے بھْراتَح شَولَ سُدرِشْٹِ رْبھَوَ تَسْمِنْ دَنْڈےہَں سَمْیَکْ تَں درِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
14 Then he said, 'The God of our forefathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the righteous One and hear Him speak.
| تَتَح سَ مَہْیَں کَتھِتَوانْ یَتھا تْوَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیابھِپْرایَں ویتْسِ تَسْیَ شُدّھَسَتّوَجَنَسْیَ دَرْشَنَں پْراپْیَ تَسْیَ شْرِیمُکھَسْیَ واکْیَں شرِنوشِ تَنِّمِتَّمْ اَسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشانامْ اِیشْوَرَسْتْواں مَنونِیتَں کرِتَوانَں۔ |
15 For you shall be a witness for Him, to all men, of what you have seen and heard.
| یَتو یَدْیَدْ اَدْراکْشِیرَشْرَوشِیشْچَ سَرْوّیشاں مانَواناں سَمِیپے تْوَں تیشاں ساکْشِی بھَوِشْیَسِ۔ |
16 And now why delay? Rise, get yourself baptized, and wash off your sins, calling upon His name.'
| اَتَایوَ کُتو وِلَمْبَسے؟ پْرَبھو رْنامْنا پْرارْتھْیَ نِجَپاپَپْرَکْشالَنارْتھَں مَجَّنایَ سَمُتِّشْٹھَ۔ |
17 "After my return to Jerusalem, and while praying in the Temple, I fell into a trance.
| تَتَح پَرَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں پْرَتْیاگَتْیَ مَنْدِرےہَمْ ایکَدا پْرارْتھَیے، تَسْمِنْ سَمَیےہَمْ اَبھِبھُوتَح سَنْ پْرَبھُوں ساکْشاتْ پَشْیَنْ، |
18 I saw Jesus, and He said to me, "'Make haste and leave Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.'
| تْوَں تْوَرَیا یِرُوشالَمَح پْرَتِشْٹھَسْوَ یَتو لوکامَیِ تَوَ ساکْشْیَں نَ گْرَہِیشْیَنْتِ، مامْپْرَتْیُدِتَں تَسْییدَں واکْیَمْ اَشْرَوشَمْ۔ |
19 "'Lord,' I replied, 'they themselves well know how active I was in imprisoning, and in flogging in synagogue after synagogue those who believe in Thee;
| تَتوہَں پْرَتْیَوادِشَمْ ہے پْرَبھو پْرَتِبھَجَنَبھَوَنَں تْوَیِ وِشْواسِنو لوکانْ بَدّھوا پْرَہرِتَوانْ، |
20 and when they were shedding the blood of Stephen, Thy witness, I was standing by, fully approving of it, and I held the clothes of those who were killing him.'
| تَتھا تَوَ ساکْشِنَح سْتِپھانَسْیَ رَکْتَپاتَنَسَمَیے تَسْیَ وِناشَں سَمَّنْیَ سَنِّدھَو تِشْٹھَنْ ہَنْترِلوکاناں واساںسِ رَکْشِتَوانْ، ایتَتْ تے وِدُح۔ |
21 "'Go,' He replied; 'I will send you as an Apostle to nations far away.'"
| تَتَح سوکَتھَیَتْ پْرَتِشْٹھَسْوَ تْواں دُورَسْتھَبھِنَّدیشِییاناں سَمِیپَں پْریشَیِشْیے۔ |
22 Until they heard this last statement the people listened to Paul, but now with a roar of disapproval they cried out, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! He ought not to be allowed to live."
| تَدا لوکا ایتاوَتْپَرْیَّنْتاں تَدِییاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا پْروچَّیرَکَتھَیَنْ، اینَں بھُومَنْڈَلادْ دُورِیکُرُتَ، ایتادرِشَجَنَسْیَ جِیوَنَں نوچِتَمْ۔ |
23 And when they continued their furious shouts, throwing their clothes into the air and flinging dust about,
| اِتْیُچَّیح کَتھَیِتْوا وَسَنانِ پَرِتْیَجْیَ گَگَنَں پْرَتِ دھُولِیرَکْشِپَنْ |
24 the Tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and be examined by flogging, in order to ascertain the reason why they thus cried out against him.
| تَتَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح پَولَں دُرْگابھْیَنْتَرَ نیتُں سَمادِشَتْ۔ ایتَسْیَ پْرَتِکُولاح سَنْتو لوکاح کِنِّمِتَّمْ ایتاوَدُچَّیحسْوَرَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ، ایتَدْ ویتُّں تَں کَشَیا پْرَہرِتْیَ تَسْیَ پَرِیکْشاں کَرْتُّمادِشَتْ۔ |
25 But, when they had tied him up with the straps, Paul said to the Captain who stood by, "Does the Law permit you to flog a Roman citizen--and one too who is uncondemned?"
| پَداتَیَشْچَرْمَّنِرْمِّتَرَجُّبھِسْتَسْیَ بَنْدھَنَں کَرْتُّمُدْیَتاسْتاسْتَدانِیں پَولَح سَمُّکھَسْتھِتَں شَتَسیناپَتِمْ اُکْتَوانْ دَنْڈاجْنایامْ اَپْراپْتایاں کِں رومِلوکَں پْرَہَرْتُّں یُشْماکَمْ اَدھِکاروسْتِ؟ |
26 On hearing this question, the Captain went to report the matter to the Tribune. "What are you intending to do?" he said. "This man is a Roman citizen."
| ایناں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا سَ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح سَنِّدھِں گَتْوا تاں وارْتّامَوَدَتْ سَ رومِلوکَ ایتَسْماتْ ساوَدھانَح سَنْ کَرْمَّ کُرُ۔ |
27 So the Tribune came to Paul and asked him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" "Yes," he said.
| تَسْماتْ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِ رْگَتْوا تَمَپْراکْشِیتْ تْوَں کِں رومِلوکَح؟ اِتِ ماں بْرُوہِ۔ سوکَتھَیَتْ سَتْیَمْ۔ |
28 "I paid a large sum for my citizenship," said the Tribune. "But I was born free," said Paul.
| تَتَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح کَتھِتَوانْ بَہُدْرَوِنَں دَتّواہَں تَتْ پَورَسَکھْیَں پْراپْتَوانْ؛ کِنْتُ پَولَح کَتھِتَوانْ اَہَں جَنُنا تَتْ پْراپْتوسْمِ۔ |
29 So the men who had been on the point of putting him under torture immediately left him. And the Tribune, too, was frightened when he learnt that Paul was a Roman citizen, for he had had him bound.
| اِتّھَں سَتِ یے پْرَہارینَ تَں پَرِیکْشِتُں سَمُدْیَتا آسَنْ تے تَسْیَ سَمِیپاتْ پْراتِشْٹھَنْتَ؛ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِسْتَں رومِلوکَں وِجْنایَ سْوَیَں یَتْ تَسْیَ بَنْدھَنَمْ اَکارْشِیتْ تَتْکارَنادْ اَبِبھیتْ۔ |
30 The next day, wishing to know exactly what charge was being brought against him by the Jews, the Tribune ordered his chains to be removed; and, having sent word to the High Priests and all the Sanhedrin to assemble, he brought Paul down and made him stand before them.
| یِہُودِییَلوکاح پَولَں کُتوپَوَدَنْتے تَسْیَ ورِتّانْتَں جْناتُں وانْچھَنْ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح پَرےہَنِ پَولَں بَنْدھَناتْ موچَیِتْوا پْرَدھانَیاجَکانْ مَہاسَبھایاح سَرْوَّلوکاشْچَ سَمُپَسْتھاتُمْ آدِشْیَ تیشاں سَنِّدھَو پَولَمْ اَوَروہْیَ سْتھاپِتَوانْ۔ |
