Acts 23
1 Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day."
पौलुस नै यहूदी अगुवां की सभा की ओड़ गौर तै देख्या अर कह्या, “हे भाईयो, मन्नै आज ताहीं परमेसवर कै खात्तर जमा-कती सच्चे मन तै जीवन बिताया सै।”
2 On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
इसपै हनन्याह महायाजक नै उन ताहीं जो उसकै धोरै खड़े थे, उसकै मुँह पै थप्पड़ मारण का हुकम दिया।
3 "Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?"
फेर पौलुस नै उसतै कह्या, “हे चुन्ना फिरी होड़ भीत, परमेसवर तेरे ताहीं मारैगा। तू नियम-कायदे कै मुताबिक मेरा न्याय करण नै बेठ्या सै, अर फेर के नियम-कायदे कै खिलाफ मेरै ताहीं मारण का हुकम देवै सै?”
4 "Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
जो धोरै खड़े थे उननै कह्या, “के तू परमेसवर कै महायाजक नै आच्छा-भुंडा बोल्लै सै?”
5 "I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of Thy people.'"
पौलुस नै कह्या, “हे भाईयो, मन्नै न्ही बेरा था के यो महायाजक सै, क्यूँके वचन म्ह लिख्या सै: ‘अपणे माणसां के प्रधान नै भुंडा ना बोलिए।’”
6 Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
फेर पौलुस नै न्यू जाणकै के एक टोळ सदूकी अर दुसरा फरीसी लोग्गां का सै, यहूदी अगुवां की सभा म्ह रुक्का मारकै कह्या, “हे भाईयो, मै फरीसी अर फरीसी लोग्गां के वंश का सूं, मरे होया की आस अर पुनरुत्थान कै बारै म्ह मेरा मुकद्दमा होरया सै।”
7 These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
जिब उसनै या बात कही तो फरीसियाँ अर सदूकियाँ म्ह दंगा होण लाग्या, अर सभा म्ह फूट पड़गी।
8 For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.
क्यूँके सदूकियाँ का बिश्वास तो न्यू कहवै सै, के ना पुनरुत्थान सै, ना सुर्गदूत अर ना आत्मा सै, पर फरीसी इन सारया नै मान्नैं सै।
9 So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"
फेर घणा दंगा माच्या अर कुछ शास्त्री जो फरीसियाँ के टोळ के थे, उठ लिए अर न्यू कहकै दंगा करण लाग्गे, “हम इस माणस म्ह कोए बुराई कोनी पांदे, अर जै कोए आत्मा या सुर्गदूत उसतै बोल्या सै तो फेर के होग्या?”
10 But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.
जिब घणा दंगा होया, तो पलटन के सरदार नै इस भय तै के वे पौलुस के टुकड़े-टुकड़े ना कर देवै, पलटन ताहीं हुकम दिया के उतरकै उस ताहीं उनकै बिचाळै तै हाँगै तै लिकाड़ै, अर गढ़ म्ह ले जावै।
11 The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
उस्से रात प्रभु यीशु नै उसकै धोरै खड़े होकै कह्या, “हे पौलुस, धीरज राख, क्यूँके जिसी तन्नै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह मेरी गवाही देई, उसीए तन्नै रोम म्ह भी गवाही देणी होगी।”
12 Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.
जिब दिन लिकड़या तो यहूदियाँ नै साजिस रची अर कसम खाई के जिब ताहीं हम पौलुस नै मार न्ही देवा, जै हम खावां या पीवां तो म्हारै पै धिक्कार सै।
13 There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
जिन नै आप्पस म्ह या कसम खाई थी, वे चाळीस जण्यां तै घणे थे।
14 They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.
उननै प्रधान याजकां अर यहूदी अगुवां कै धोरै जाकै कह्या, “हमनै न्यू ठान लिया सै के जिब ताहीं हम पौलुस नै मार न्ही देंदे, जद ताहीं जै किमे चाक्खां तो म्हारै पै धिक्कार सै।
15 Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
इस करकै इब यहूदी अगुवां की सभा सुधा पलटन के सरदार नै समझाओ के उसनै थारे धोरै लियावै, मान ल्यो के थम उसकै बारै म्ह और भी सही तै जाँच करणा चाहवो सो, अर हम उसकै पोहोचण तै पैहल्याए उस ताहीं मार देण कै खात्तर त्यार रहवांगें।”
16 But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
पौलुस कै भाण्जै नै सुण्या के वे उसकी टाह म्ह सै, तो गढ़ म्ह जाकै पौलुस ताहीं संदेशां दिया।
17 and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give him."
पौलुस नै सूबेदारां म्ह तै एक ताहीं अपणे धोरै बुलाकै कह्या, “इस जवान नै पलटन के सरदार कै धोरै ले जाओ, यो उसतै किमे कहणा चाहवै सै।”
18 So he took him and brought him to the Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
इस करकै उसनै उस ताहीं पलटन के सरदार कै धोरै ले जाकै कह्या, “कैदी पौलुस नै मेरै ताहीं बुलाकै बिनती करी के यो जवान पलटन के सरदार तै किमे कहणा चाहवै सै, उस ताहीं उसकै धोरै ले जा।”
19 Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
पलटन के सरदार नै उसका हाथ पकड़कै अर न्यारा जाकै बुझ्झया, “तू मेरै तै के कहणा चाहवै सै?”
20 "The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
वो बोल्या, “यहूदियाँ नै साजिस रची सै के तेरे तै बिनती करै के काल पौलुस नै यहूदी अगुवां की सभा म्ह ल्यावै, मान्नो वे और सही ढाळ तै उसकी जाँच करणा चाहवै सै।
21 I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
पर उनकी मानियो मतना, क्यूँके उन म्ह तै चाळीस कै उप्पर माणस उसनै मारण की टाह म्ह सै, जिन नै न्यू ठान लिया सै के जिब ताहीं वे पौलुस नै मार न्ही देवै, जद ताहीं ना खावैगें अर ना पीवैगें, अर इब वे त्यार सै अर तेरे वचन की बाट देखण लागरे सै।”
22 So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
फेर पलटन के सरदार नै जवान ताहीं यो हुकम देकै बिदा करया, “किसे तै ना कहिये के तन्नै मेरै तै ये बात बताई सै।”
23 Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-night."
फेर उसनै दो सूबेदारां ताहीं बुलाकै कह्या, “दो सौ सिपाही, सत्तर सवार, अर दो सौ भालैत, रात के नौ बजे कैसरिया नगर नै जाणकै खात्तर त्यार कर करो।
24 He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
अर पौलुस की सवारी कै खात्तर घोड़े त्यार राक्खो, के उस ताहीं फेलिक्स राज्यपाल कै धोरै राज्जी-खुशी तै पोहोचा दे।”
25 He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
उसनै इस तरियां की चिट्ठी भी लिक्खी
26 "Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
महामहिम फेलिक्स राज्यपाल ताहीं क्लौकियुस लूसियास का नमस्कार।
27 This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
इस माणस ताहीं यहूदियाँ नै पकड़कै मार देणा चाह्या, पर जिब मन्नै जाण्या के रोमी सै, तो पलटन लेकै छुड़ा ल्याया।
28 And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
मै जाणणा चाहूँ था के वे उसपै किस कारण दोष लावै सै, ज्यांतै उस ताहीं यहूदी अगुवां की सभा म्ह ले गया।
29 and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
फेर मन्नै जाण लिया के वे अपणे नियम-कायदे कै रोळे कै बारै म्ह उसपै इल्जाम लगावै सै, पर मार देण जोग्गा या बाँधे जाणकै जोग्गा उस म्ह कोए कसूर कोनी।
30 But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
जिब मेरै ताहीं बताया गया के वे इस माणस की टाह म्ह लागरे सै तो मन्नै जिब्बे उस ताहीं तेरे धोरै भेज दिया, अर बैरियाँ ताहीं भी हुकम दिया के तेरे स्याम्ही उसपै नालिश करै।
31 So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
आखर म्ह जिसा सिपाहियाँ नै हुकम मिल्या था, उस्से तरियां ए वे पौलुस नै लेकै रातो-रात अन्तिपत्रिस म्ह आये।
32 The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
दुसरे दिन वे सवारा नै उसकै गेल्या जाणकै खात्तर छोड़कै खुद यरुशलेम म्ह बोहड़ै।
33 and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.
उननै कैसरिया पोहचकै राज्यपाल ताहीं चिट्ठी दी, अर पौलुस ताहीं भी उसकै स्याम्ही खड्या करया।
34 Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"
राज्यपाल नै चिट्ठी पढ़कै बुझ्झया, “यो किस प्रान्त का सै?”
35 he said, "I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
अर जिब जाण लिया के किलिकिया परदेस का सै तो उसतै कह्या, “जिब तेरे बैरी भी आवैगें, तो मै तेरा मुकद्दमा करुँगा।” अर उसनै उस ताहीं हेरोदेस कै किले म्ह पहरे म्ह राक्खण का हुकम दिया।
