Acts 21
1 When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
तै र्विसृष्टाः सन्तो वयं पोतं बाहयित्वा ऋजुमार्गेण कोषम् उपद्वीपम् आगत्य परेऽहनि रोदियोपद्वीपम् आगच्छाम ततस्तस्मात् पातारायाम् उपातिष्ठाम।
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
तत्र फैनीकियादेशगामिनम् पोतमेकं प्राप्य तमारुह्य गतवन्तः।
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
कुप्रोपद्वीपं दृष्ट्वा तं सव्यदिशि स्थापयित्वा सुरियादेशं गत्वा पोतस्थद्रव्याण्यवरोहयितुं सोरनगरे लागितवन्तः।
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
तत्र शिष्यगणस्य साक्षात्करणाय वयं तत्र सप्तदिनानि स्थितवन्तः पश्चात्ते पवित्रेणात्मना पौलं व्याहरन् त्वं यिरूशालम्नगरं मा गमः।
5 When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
ततस्तेषु सप्तसु दिनेषु यापितेषु सत्सु वयं तस्मात् स्थानात् निजवर्त्मना गतवन्तः, तस्मात् ते सबालवृद्धवनिता अस्माभिः सह नगरस्य परिसरपर्य्यन्तम् आगताः पश्चाद्वयं जलधितटे जानुपातं प्रार्थयामहि।
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
ततः परस्परं विसृष्टाः सन्तो वयं पोतं गतास्ते तु स्वस्वगृहं प्रत्यागतवन्तः।
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
वयं सोरनगरात् नावा प्रस्थाय तलिमायिनगरम् उपातिष्ठाम तत्रास्माकं समुद्रीयमार्गस्यान्तोऽभवत् तत्र भ्रातृगणं नमस्कृत्य दिनमेकं तैः सार्द्धम् उषतवन्तः।
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
परे ऽहनि पौलस्तस्य सङ्गिनो वयञ्च प्रतिष्ठमानाः कैसरियानगरम् आगत्य सुसंवादप्रचारकानां सप्तजनानां फिलिपनाम्न एकस्य गृहं प्रविश्यावतिष्ठाम।
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
तस्य चतस्रो दुहितरोऽनूढा भविष्यद्वादिन्य आसन्।
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
तत्रास्मासु बहुदिनानि प्रोषितेषु यिहूदीयदेशाद् आगत्यागाबनामा भविष्यद्वादी समुपस्थितवान्।
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Judeans at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
सोस्माकं समीपमेत्य पौलस्य कटिबन्धनं गृहीत्वा निजहस्तापादान् बद्ध्वा भाषितवान् यस्येदं कटिबन्धनं तं यिहूदीयलोका यिरूशालमनगर इत्थं बद्ध्वा भिन्नदेशीयानां करेषु समर्पयिष्यन्तीति वाक्यं पवित्र आत्मा कथयति।
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
एतादृशीं कथां श्रुत्वा वयं तन्नगरवासिनो भ्रातरश्च यिरूशालमं न यातुं पौलं व्यनयामहि;
13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua.”
किन्तु स प्रत्यावादीत्, यूयं किं कुरुथ? किं क्रन्दनेन ममान्तःकरणं विदीर्णं करिष्यथ? प्रभो र्यीशो र्नाम्नो निमित्तं यिरूशालमि बद्धो भवितुं केवल तन्न प्राणान् दातुमपि ससज्जोस्मि।
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
तेनास्माकं कथायाम् अगृहीतायाम् ईश्वरस्य यथेच्छा तथैव भवत्वित्युक्त्वा वयं निरस्याम।
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
परेऽहनि पाथेयद्रव्याणि गृहीत्वा यिरूशालमं प्रति यात्राम् अकुर्म्म।
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
ततः कैसरियानगरनिवासिनः कतिपयाः शिष्या अस्माभिः सार्द्धम् इत्वा कृप्रीयेन म्नासन्नाम्ना येन प्राचीनशिष्येन सार्द्धम् अस्माभि र्वस्तव्यं तस्य समीपम् अस्मान् नीतवन्तः।
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
अस्मासु यिरूशालम्युपस्थितेषु तत्रस्थभ्रातृगणोऽस्मान् आह्लादेन गृहीतवान्।
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; and all the elders were present.
परस्मिन् दिवसे पौलेऽस्माभिः सह याकूबो गृहं प्रविष्टे लोकप्राचीनाः सर्व्वे तत्र परिषदि संस्थिताः।
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
अनन्तरं स तान् नत्वा स्वीयप्रचारणेन भिन्नदेशीयान् प्रतीश्वरो यानि कर्म्माणि साधितवान् तदीयां कथाम् अनुक्रमात् कथितवान्।
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah.
इति श्रुत्वा ते प्रभुं धन्यं प्रोच्य वाक्यमिदम् अभाषन्त, हे भ्रात र्यिहूदीयानां मध्ये बहुसहस्राणि लोका विश्वासिन आसते किन्तु ते सर्व्वे व्यवस्थामताचारिण एतत् प्रत्यक्षं पश्यसि।
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
शिशूनां त्वक्छेदनाद्याचरणं प्रतिषिध्य त्वं भिन्नदेशनिवासिनो यिहूदीयलोकान् मूसावाक्यम् अश्रद्धातुम् उपदिशसीति तैः श्रुतमस्ति।
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
त्वमत्रागतोसीति वार्त्तां समाकर्ण्य जननिवहो मिलित्वावश्यमेवागमिष्यति; अतएव किं करणीयम्? अत्र वयं मन्त्रयित्वा समुपायं त्वां वदामस्तं त्वमाचर।
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
व्रतं कर्त्तुं कृतसङ्कल्पा येऽस्मांक चत्वारो मानवाः सन्ति
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Torah.
तान् गृहीत्वा तैः सहितः स्वं शुचिं कुरु तथा तेषां शिरोमुण्डने यो व्ययो भवति तं त्वं देहि। तथा कृते त्वदीयाचारे या जनश्रुति र्जायते सालीका किन्तु त्वं विधिं पालयन् व्यवस्थानुसारेणेवाचरसीति ते भोत्सन्ते।
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
भिन्नदेशीयानां विश्वासिलोकानां निकटे वयं पत्रं लिखित्वेत्थं स्थिरीकृतवन्तः, देवप्रसादभोजनं रक्तं गलपीडनमारितप्राणिभोजनं व्यभिचारश्चैतेभ्यः स्वरक्षणव्यतिरेकेण तेषामन्यविधिपालनं करणीयं न।
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
ततः पौलस्तान् मानुषानादाय परस्मिन् दिवसे तैः सह शुचि र्भूत्वा मन्दिरं गत्वा शौचकर्म्मणो दिनेषु सम्पूर्णेषु तेषाम् एकैकार्थं नैवेद्याद्युत्सर्गो भविष्यतीति ज्ञापितवान्।
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
तेषु सप्तसु दिनेषु समाप्तकल्पेषु आशियादेशनिवासिनो यिहूदीयास्तं मध्येमन्दिरं विलोक्य जननिवहस्य मनःसु कुप्रवृत्तिं जनयित्वा तं धृत्वा
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Torah, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
प्रोच्चैः प्रावोचन्, हे इस्रायेल्लोकाः सर्व्वे साहाय्यं कुरुत। यो मनुज एतेषां लोकानां मूसाव्यवस्थाया एतस्य स्थानस्यापि विपरीतं सर्व्वत्र सर्व्वान् शिक्षयति स एषः; विशेषतः स भिन्नदेशीयलोकान् मन्दिरम् आनीय पवित्रस्थानमेतद् अपवित्रमकरोत्।
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
पूर्व्वं ते मध्येनगरम् इफिषनगरीयं त्रफिमं पौलेन सहितं दृष्टवन्त एतस्मात् पौलस्तं मन्दिरमध्यम् आनयद् इत्यन्वमिमत।
30 All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
अतएव सर्व्वस्मिन् नगरे कलहोत्पन्नत्वात् धावन्तो लोका आगत्य पौलं धृत्वा मन्दिरस्य बहिराकृष्यानयन् तत्क्षणाद् द्वाराणि सर्व्वाणि च रुद्धानि।
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
तेषु तं हन्तुमुद्यतेेषु यिरूशालम्नगरे महानुपद्रवो जात इति वार्त्तायां सहस्रसेनापतेः कर्णगोचरीभूतायां सत्यां स तत्क्षणात् सैन्यानि सेनापतिगणञ्च गृहीत्वा जवेनागतवान्।
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
ततो लोकाः सेनागणेन सह सहस्रसेनापतिम् आगच्छन्तं दृष्ट्वा पौलताडनातो न्यवर्त्तन्त।
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
स सहस्रसेनापतिः सन्निधावागम्य पौलं धृत्वा शृङ्खलद्वयेन बद्धम् आदिश्य तान् पृष्टवान् एष कः? किं कर्म्म चायं कृतवान्?
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
ततो जनसमूहस्य कश्चिद् एकप्रकारं कश्चिद् अन्यप्रकारं वाक्यम् अरौत् स तत्र सत्यं ज्ञातुम् कलहकारणाद् अशक्तः सन् तं दुर्गं नेतुम् आज्ञापयत्।
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
तेषु सोपानस्योपरि प्राप्तेषु लोकानां साहसकारणात् सेनागणः पौलमुत्तोल्य नीतवान्।
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
ततः सर्व्वे लोकाः पश्चाद्गामिनः सन्त एनं दुरीकुरुतेति वाक्यम् उच्चैरवदन्।
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
पौलस्य दुर्गानयनसमये स तस्मै सहस्रसेनापतये कथितवान्, भवतः पुरस्तात् कथां कथयितुं किम् अनुमन्यते? स तमपृच्छत् त्वं किं यूनानीयां भाषां जानासि?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
यो मिसरीयो जनः पूर्व्वं विरोधं कृत्वा चत्वारि सहस्राणि घातकान् सङ्गिनः कृत्वा विपिनं गतवान् त्वं किं सएव न भवसि?
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
तदा पौलोऽकथयत् अहं किलिकियादेशस्य तार्षनगरीयो यिहूदीयो, नाहं सामान्यनगरीयो मानवः; अतएव विनयेऽहं लाकानां समक्षं कथां कथयितुं मामनुजानीष्व।
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
तेनानुज्ञातः पौलः सोपानोपरि तिष्ठन् हस्तेनेङ्गितं कृतवान्, तस्मात् सर्व्वे सुस्थिरा अभवन्। तदा पौल इब्रीयभाषया कथयितुम् आरभत,
