< Acts 15 >
1 And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren — 'If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;'
yihuudaade"saat kiyanto janaa aagatya bhraat. rga. namittha. m "sik. sitavanto muusaavyavasthayaa yadi yu. smaaka. m tvakchedo na bhavati tarhi yuuya. m paritraa. na. m praaptu. m na "sak. syatha|
2 there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,
paulabar. nabbau tai. h saha bahuun vicaaraan vivaadaa. m"sca k. rtavantau, tato ma. n.daliiyanokaa etasyaa. h kathaayaastattva. m j naatu. m yiruu"saalamnagarasthaan preritaan praaciinaa. m"sca prati paulabar. nabbaaprabh. rtiin katipayajanaan pre. sayitu. m ni"scaya. m k. rtavanta. h|
3 they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren.
te ma. n.dalyaa preritaa. h santa. h phai. niikii"somironde"saabhyaa. m gatvaa bhinnade"siiyaanaa. m mana. hparivarttanasya vaarttayaa bhraat. r.naa. m paramaahlaadam ajanayan|
4 And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;
yiruu"saalamyupasthaaya preritaga. nena lokapraaciinaga. nena samaajena ca samupag. rhiitaa. h santa. h svairii"svaro yaani karmmaa. ni k. rtavaan te. saa. m sarvvav. rttaantaan te. saa. m samak. sam akathayan|
5 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying — 'It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'
kintu vi"svaasina. h kiyanta. h phiruu"simatagraahi. no lokaa utthaaya kathaametaa. m kathitavanto bhinnade"siiyaanaa. m tvakcheda. m karttu. m muusaavyavasthaa. m paalayitu nca samaade. s.tavyam|
6 And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,
tata. h preritaa lokapraaciinaa"sca tasya vivecanaa. m karttu. m sabhaayaa. m sthitavanta. h|
7 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, 'Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
bahuvicaare. su jaata. su pitara utthaaya kathitavaan, he bhraataro yathaa bhinnade"siiyalokaa mama mukhaat susa. mvaada. m "srutvaa vi"svasanti tadartha. m bahudinaat puurvvam ii"svarosmaaka. m madhye maa. m v. rtvaa niyuktavaan|
8 and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
antaryyaamii"svaro yathaasmabhya. m tathaa bhinnade"siiyebhya. h pavitramaatmaana. m pradaaya vi"svaasena te. saam anta. hkara. naani pavitraa. ni k. rtvaa
9 and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;
te. saam asmaaka nca madhye kimapi vi"se. sa. m na sthaapayitvaa taanadhi svaya. m pramaa. na. m dattavaan iti yuuya. m jaaniitha|
10 now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
ataevaasmaaka. m puurvvapuru. saa vaya nca svaya. m yadyugasya bhaara. m so. dhu. m na "saktaa. h samprati ta. m "si. syaga. nasya skandhe. su nyasitu. m kuta ii"svarasya pariik. saa. m kari. syatha?
11 but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.'
prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasyaanugrahe. na te yathaa vayamapi tathaa paritraa. na. m praaptum aa"saa. m kurmma. h|
12 And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
anantara. m bar. nabbaapaulaabhyaam ii"svaro bhinnade"siiyaanaa. m madhye yadyad aa"scaryyam adbhuta nca karmma k. rtavaan tadv. rttaanta. m tau svamukhaabhyaam avar. nayataa. m sabhaasthaa. h sarvve niiravaa. h santa. h "srutavanta. h|
13 and after they are silent, James answered, saying, 'Men, brethren, hearken to me;
tayo. h kathaayaa. m samaaptaayaa. m satyaa. m yaakuub kathayitum aarabdhavaan
14 Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,
he bhraataro mama kathaayaam mano nidhatta| ii"svara. h svanaamaartha. m bhinnade"siiyalokaanaam madhyaad eka. m lokasa. mgha. m grahiitu. m mati. m k. rtvaa yena prakaare. na prathama. m taan prati k. rpaavalekana. m k. rtavaan ta. m "simon var. nitavaan|
15 and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:
bhavi. syadvaadibhiruktaani yaani vaakyaani tai. h saarddham etasyaikya. m bhavati yathaa likhitamaaste|
16 After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright —

17 that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.

18 'Known from the ages to God are all His works; (aiōn )
aa prathamaad ii"svara. h sviiyaani sarvvakarmmaa. ni jaanaati| (aiōn )
19 wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,
ataeva mama nivedanamida. m bhinnade"siiyalokaanaa. m madhye ye janaa ii"svara. m prati paraavarttanta te. saamupari anya. m kamapi bhaara. m na nyasya
20 but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;
devataaprasaadaa"sucibhak. sya. m vyabhicaarakarmma ka. n.thasampii. danamaaritapraa. nibhak. sya. m raktabhak. sya nca etaani parityaktu. m likhaama. h|
21 for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him — in the synagogues every sabbath being read.'

22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas — Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren —
tata. h para. m preritaga. no lokapraaciinaga. na. h sarvvaa ma. n.dalii ca sve. saa. m madhye bar"sabbaa naamnaa vikhyaato manoniitau k. rtvaa paulabar. nabbaabhyaa. m saarddham aantiyakhiyaanagara. m prati pre. sa. nam ucita. m buddhvaa taabhyaa. m patra. m prai. sayan|
23 having written through their hand thus: 'The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
tasmin patre likhitami. mda, aantiyakhiyaa-suriyaa-kilikiyaade"sasthabhinnade"siiyabhraat. rga. naaya preritaga. nasya lokapraaciinaga. nasya bhraat. rga. nasya ca namaskaara. h|
24 seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,
vi"se. sato. asmaakam aaj naam apraapyaapi kiyanto janaa asmaaka. m madhyaad gatvaa tvakchedo muusaavyavasthaa ca paalayitavyaaviti yu. smaan "sik. sayitvaa yu. smaaka. m manasaamasthairyya. m k. rtvaa yu. smaan sasandehaan akurvvan etaa. m kathaa. m vayam a"s. rnma|
25 it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul —
tatkaara. naad vayam ekamantra. naa. h santa. h sabhaayaa. m sthitvaa prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya naamanimitta. m m. rtyumukhagataabhyaamasmaaka. m
26 men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ —

27 we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.
ato yihuudaasiilau yu. smaan prati pre. sitavanta. h, etayo rmukhaabhyaa. m sarvvaa. m kathaa. m j naasyatha|
28 'For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:
devataaprasaadabhak. sya. m raktabhak. sya. m galapii. danamaaritapraa. nibhak. sya. m vyabhicaarakarmma cemaani sarvvaa. ni yu. smaabhistyaajyaani; etatprayojaniiyaaj naavyatirekena yu. smaakam upari bhaaramanya. m na nyasitu. m pavitrasyaatmano. asmaaka nca ucitaj naanam abhavat|
29 to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!'
ataeva tebhya. h sarvvebhya. h sve. su rak. site. su yuuya. m bhadra. m karmma kari. syatha| yu. smaaka. m ma"ngala. m bhuuyaat|
30 They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,
te vis. r.s. taa. h santa aantiyakhiyaanagara upasthaaya lokanivaha. m sa. mg. rhya patram adadan|
31 and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;
tataste tatpatra. m pa. thitvaa saantvanaa. m praapya saanandaa abhavan|
32 Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,
yihuudaasiilau ca svaya. m pracaarakau bhuutvaa bhraat. rga. na. m naanopadi"sya taan susthiraan akurutaam|
33 and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles;
ittha. m tau tatra tai. h saaka. m katipayadinaani yaapayitvaa pa"scaat preritaanaa. m samiipe pratyaagamanaartha. m te. saa. m sannidhe. h kalyaa. nena vis. r.s. taavabhavataa. m|
34 and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.
kintu siilastatra sthaatu. m vaa nchitavaan|
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news — with many others also — the word of the Lord;
apara. m paulabar. nabbau bahava. h "si. syaa"sca lokaan upadi"sya prabho. h susa. mvaada. m pracaarayanta aantiyakhiyaayaa. m kaala. m yaapitavanta. h|
36 and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, 'Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord — how they are.'
katipayadine. su gate. su paulo bar. nabbaam avadat aagacchaavaa. m ye. su nagare. svii"svarasya susa. mvaada. m pracaaritavantau taani sarvvanagaraa. ni punargatvaa bhraatara. h kiid. r"saa. h santiiti dra. s.tu. m taan saak. saat kurvva. h|
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with [them] John called Mark,
tena maarkanaamnaa vikhyaata. m yohana. m sa"ngina. m karttu. m bar. nabbaa matimakarot,
38 and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;

39 there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,

40 and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren;

41 and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
