Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
पौलुस अर सीलास अम्फिपुलिस अर अपुल्लोनिया नगरां तै होकै थिस्सलुनीके नगर म्ह आये, जित्त यहूदियाँ का एक आराधनालय था।
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
पौलुस अपणी रीत कै मुताबिक उनकै धोरै गया, अर तीन्नु आराम कै दिनां म्ह पवित्र ग्रन्थ म्ह तै उनकै गेल्या बहस करी,
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
अर वो उनका मतलब खोल-खोल कै समझावै था के मसीह नै दुख ठाणा, अर मरे होया म्ह तै जिन्दा उठणा, जरूरी था, अर “योए यीशु जिसकी मै थमनै कथा सुणाऊँ सूं, मसीह सै।”
4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
कितने यहूदी अर परमेसवर के भगत यूनानियाँ म्ह तै घणखरयां नै, अर घणी आच्छे खानदान की लुगाईयाँ नै मान लिया, अर पौलुस अर सीलास कै गेल्या मिलगे।
5 But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
पर यहूदियाँ नै जळण तै भरकै बाजारू माणसां म्ह तै कुछ दुष्ट माणसां ताहीं अपणे गेल्या लिया, अर भीड़ कठ्ठी करकै नगर म्ह दंगा मचाण लाग्गे, अर यासोन कै घर पै चढ़ाई करकै उन ताहीं आदमियाँ कै स्याम्ही ल्याणा चाह्या।
6 When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
उननै जिब वे ओड़ै न्ही मिले तो वे किल्की मारदे होए यासोन अर कुछ बिश्वासी भाईयाँ ताहीं नगर के हाकिमां कै स्याम्ही खींच ल्याए, “ये माणस जिन नै दुनिया ताहीं उल्टा-पुल्टा कर दिया सै, उरै भी आ लिए सै।
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
यासोन नै उन ताहीं अपणे घरां रहण की इजाजत दी सै। ये सारे के सारे न्यू कहवै सै के यीशु राजा सै, अर कैसर के हुकमां का बिरोध करै सै।”
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
उननै आदमियाँ ताहीं अर नगर के हाकिमां ताहीं न्यू सुणाकै डरा दिया।
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
ज्यांतै उननै यासोन अर बाकी माणसां तै जमानत पै उन ताहीं छोड़ दिया।
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जिब्बे राते-रात पौलुस अर सीलास ताहीं बिरीया नगर भेज दिया, अर वे ओड़ै पोहचकै यहूदियाँ के आराधनालय म्ह गये।
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
ये माणस तो थिस्सलुनीके नगर के यहूदियाँ तै आच्छे थे, अर उननै घणे चाह् तै वचन अपणाया, अर हर-रोज पवित्र ग्रन्थां म्ह टोह्न्दे रहे के ये बात न्यू सै के न्ही।
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
ज्यांतै उन म्ह तै घणखरयां नै, अर यूनानी आच्छे खानदान की बिरबानियाँ म्ह तै अर माणसां म्ह तै भी घणखरयां नै बिश्वास करया।
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
पर जिब थिस्सलुनीके नगर के यहूदी जाणगे के पौलुस बिरीया नगर म्ह भी परमेसवर का वचन सुणावै सै, तो ओड़ै भी माणसां ताहीं उकसाण अर गड़बड़ मचाण लाग्गे।
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
फेर बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जिब्बे पौलुस ताहीं बिदा करया के समुन्दर कै किनारे चल्या जावै, पर सीलास अर तीमुथियुस बिरीया रहगे।
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
पौलुस के मददगार उस ताहीं एथेंस नगर तक लेगे, अर सीलास अर तीमुथियुस कै खात्तर या आज्ञा पाकै बिदा होए के उसकै धोरै घणी तगाजै तै आवै।
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
जिब पौलुस एथेंस नगर म्ह उसकी बाट देक्खै था, तो नगर नै मूर्तियाँ तै भरया होड़ देखकै भोत परेशान होग्या।
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
इस करकै वो आराधनालय म्ह यहूदियाँ तै अर भगतां तै, अर चौक म्ह जो माणस उसतै फेटै थे उनतै हरेक दिन बहस करया करै था।
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
फेर इपिकूरी अर स्तोईकी उपदेशकां म्ह तै कुछे उसतै तर्क करण लाग्गे, अर कुछां नै कह्या, “यो बकवादी के कहणा चाहवै सै?” पर दुसरयां नै कह्या, “वो दुसरे देवत्यां का प्रचारक दिक्खै सै” क्यूँके वो यीशु का अर पुनरुत्थान का सुसमाचार सुणावै था।
19 They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
फेर वे उसनै अपणे गेल्या अरियुपगुस नामक आराधनालय म्ह लेगे अर बुझ्झया, “के हम जाण सकां सां के यो नया पंथ जो तू सुणावै सै, के सै?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
क्यूँके तू अनोक्खी बात म्हारै ताहीं सुणावै सै, ज्यांतै हम जाणणा चाहवां सां के इनका के मतलब सै।”
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
(ज्यांतै के सारे एथेंसवासी अर परदेशी जो ओड़ै रहवै थे, नयी-नयी बात कहण अर सुणण कै सिवाए और किसे काम म्ह बखत कोनी बितावैं थे।)
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
फेर पौलुस नै अरियुपगुस कै बिचाळै खड़े होकै कह्या, “हे एथेंस के माणसों, मै देक्खूँ सूं के थम हर बात म्ह देवत्यां के घणे मानण आळे सो।
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
क्यूँके मै हांडदे होए जिब थारी पूज्जण की चिज्जां नै देखण लागरया था, तो एक इसी वेदी भी मिली, जिसपै लिख्या था, ‘अनजाणे ईश्वर कै खात्तर।’ इस करकै जिसनै थम बिना बेरे पूज्जो सो, मै थमनै उस्से परमेसवर का सुसमाचार सुणाऊँ सूं।”
24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
जिस परमेसवर नै धरती अर उसकी सारी चिज्जां ताहीं बणाया, वो सुर्ग अर धरती का माल्लिक होकै, हाथ के बणाए होड़ मन्दरां म्ह कोनी रहन्दा,
25 He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
उसनै माणसां की जरूरत कोनी, क्यूँके वो तो खुदे सारया ताहीं जिन्दगी अर साँस अर सारा किमे देवै सै।
26 He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
उसनै एक ए मूल तै माणसां की सारी जात सारी धरती पै रहण कै खात्तर बणाई सै, अर उनकै ठहराए होड़ बखत अर रहण या निवास की हदां ताहीं ज्यांतै बाँधया सै,
27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
के वे परमेसवर नै टोहवै, कदाचित उस ताहीं टटोळकै पावै, फेरभी वो म्हारै म्ह तै किसे तै दूर कोनी।
28 ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
क्यूँके उस्से म्ह म्हारा जीवन, चलणा-फिरणा अर म्हारी पहचान बणै सै, जिस ढाळ थारे कितने कवियाँ नै भी कह्या सै, “हम तो उस्से के वंशज सां।”
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
“इस करकै म्ह परमेसवर का वंश होकै म्हारा यो समझणा सही कोनी के ईश्वरत्व सोन्ने-चाँदी, पत्थर के जिसा सै, जो माणसां की कारीगरी अर कल्पना तै गढ़े गये हों।
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
ज्यांतै परमेसवर नै अज्ञानता के बखत पै खियास कोनी करी, पर इब हरेक जगहां सारे माणसां ताहीं पाप छोड़ण का हुकम देवै सै।
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
क्यूँके उसनै एक दिन तय करया सै, जिसम्ह वो धार्मिकता म्ह खुद के जरिये ठहराया गये उस माणस के जरिये दुनिया का न्याय करैगा, जिन ताहीं उसनै मरे होया म्ह तै दुबारा जिन्दा करकै या बात सारे माणसां के स्याम्ही साबित कर दी सै।”
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
मरे होया के पुनरुत्थान की बात सुणकै कुछ तो मखौल करण लाग्गे, अर कुछां नै कह्या, “या बात हम तेरे तै फेर कदे सुणांगें।”
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
इसपै पौलुस उनकै बिचाळै तै लिकड़ग्या।
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
पर कई माणस प्रभु यीशु कै गेल्या मिलगे, अर बिश्वास करया, जिन म्ह दियुनुसियुस जो अरियुपगुस का सदस्य था, अर दमरिस नामकी एक लुगाई थी, अर उनकै गेल्या कुछ और भी माणस थे।
