Acts 17
1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews,
पौलसीलौ आम्फिपल्यापल्लोनियानगराभ्यां गत्वा यत्र यिहूदीयानां भजनभवनमेकम् आस्ते तत्र थिषलनीकीनगर उपस्थितौ।
2 and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
तदा पौलः स्वाचारानुसारेण तेषां समीपं गत्वा विश्रामवारत्रये तैः सार्द्धं धर्म्मपुस्तकीयकथाया विचारं कृतवान्।
3 opening and alleging, 'That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ — Jesus whom I proclaim to you.'
फलतः ख्रीष्टेन दुःखभोगः कर्त्तव्यः श्मशानदुत्थानञ्च कर्त्तव्यं युष्माकं सन्निधौ यस्य यीशोः प्रस्तावं करोमि स ईश्वरेणाभिषिक्तः स एताः कथाः प्रकाश्य प्रमाणं दत्वा स्थिरीकृतवान्।
4 And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.
तस्मात् तेषां कतिपयजना अन्यदेशीया बहवो भक्तलोका बह्यः प्रधाननार्य्यश्च विश्वस्य पौलसीलयोः पश्चाद्गामिनो जाताः।
5 And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring [them] to the populace,
किन्तु विश्वासहीना यिहूदीयलोका ईर्ष्यया परिपूर्णाः सन्तो हटट्स्य कतिनयलम्पटलोकान् सङ्गिनः कृत्वा जनतया नगरमध्ये महाकलहं कृत्वा यासोनो गृहम् आक्रम्य प्रेरितान् धृत्वा लोकनिवहस्य समीपम् आनेतुं चेष्टितवन्तः।
6 and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud — 'These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present,
तेषामुद्देशम् अप्राप्य च यासोनं कतिपयान् भ्रातृंश्च धृत्वा नगराधिपतीनां निकटमानीय प्रोच्चैः कथितवन्तो ये मनुष्या जगदुद्वाटितवन्तस्ते ऽत्राप्युपस्थिताः सन्ति,
7 whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king — Jesus.'
एष यासोन् आतिथ्यं कृत्वा तान् गृहीतवान्। यीशुनामक एको राजस्तीति कथयन्तस्ते कैसरस्याज्ञाविरुद्धं कर्म्म कुर्व्वति।
8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
तेषां कथामिमां श्रुत्वा लोकनिवहो नगराधिपतयश्च समुद्विग्ना अभवन्।
9 and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
तदा यासोनस्तदन्येषाञ्च धनदण्डं गृहीत्वा तान् परित्यक्तवन्तः।
10 And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to the synagogue of the Jews;
ततः परं भ्रातृगणो रजन्यां पौलसीलौ शीघ्रं बिरयानगरं प्रेषितवान् तौ तत्रोपस्थाय यिहूदीयानां भजनभवनं गतवन्तौ।
11 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;
तत्रस्था लोकाः थिषलनीकीस्थलोकेभ्यो महात्मान आसन् यत इत्थं भवति न वेति ज्ञातुं दिने दिने धर्म्मग्रन्थस्यालोचनां कृत्वा स्वैरं कथाम् अगृह्लन्।
12 many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.
तस्माद् अनेके यिहूदीया अन्यदेशीयानां मान्या स्त्रियः पुरुषाश्चानेके व्यश्वसन्।
13 And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes;
किन्तु बिरयानगरे पौलेनेश्वरीया कथा प्रचार्य्यत इति थिषलनीकीस्था यिहूदीया ज्ञात्वा तत्स्थानमप्यागत्य लोकानां कुप्रवृत्तिम् अजनयन्।
14 and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were remaining there.
अतएव तस्मात् स्थानात् समुद्रेण यान्तीति दर्शयित्वा भ्रातरः क्षिप्रं पौलं प्राहिण्वन् किन्तु सीलतीमथियौ तत्र स्थितवन्तौ।
15 And those conducting Paul, brought him unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and Timotheus that with all speed they may come unto him, they departed;
ततः परं पौलस्य मार्गदर्शकास्तम् आथीनीनगर उपस्थापयन् पश्चाद् युवां तूर्णम् एतत् स्थानं आगमिष्यथः सीलतीमथियौ प्रतीमाम् आज्ञां प्राप्य ते प्रत्यागताः।
16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
पौल आथीनीनगरे तावपेक्ष्य तिष्ठन् तन्नगरं प्रतिमाभिः परिपूर्णं दृष्ट्वा सन्तप्तहृदयो ऽभवत्।
17 therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him.
ततः स भजनभवने यान् यिहूदीयान् भक्तलोकांश्च हट्टे च यान् अपश्यत् तैः सह प्रतिदिनं विचारितवान्।
18 And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, 'What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, 'Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,
किन्त्विपिकूरीयमतग्रहिणः स्तोयिकीयमतग्राहिणश्च कियन्तो जनास्तेन सार्द्धं व्यवदन्त। तत्र केचिद् अकथयन् एष वाचालः किं वक्तुम् इच्छति? अपरे केचिद् एष जनः केषाञ्चिद् विदेशीयदेवानां प्रचारक इत्यनुमीयते यतः स यीशुम् उत्थितिञ्च प्रचारयत्।
19 having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought [him], saying, 'Are we able to know what [is] this new teaching that is spoken by thee,
ते तम् अरेयपागनाम विचारस्थानम् आनीय प्रावोचन् इदं यन्नवीनं मतं त्वं प्राचीकश इदं कीदृशं एतद् अस्मान् श्रावय;
20 for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;'
यामिमाम् असम्भवकथाम् अस्माकं कर्णगोचरीकृतवान् अस्या भावार्थः क इति वयं ज्ञातुम् इच्छामः।
21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
तदाथीनीनिवासिनस्तन्नगरप्रवासिनश्च केवलं कस्याश्चन नवीनकथायाः श्रवणेन प्रचारणेन च कालम् अयापयन्।
22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, 'Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
पौलोऽरेयपागस्य मध्ये तिष्ठन् एतां कथां प्रचारितवान्, हे आथीनीयलोका यूयं सर्व्वथा देवपूजायाम् आसक्ता इत्यह प्रत्यक्षं पश्यामि।
23 for passing through and contemplating your objects of worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed: To God — unknown; whom, therefore — not knowing — ye do worship, this One I announce to you.
यतः पर्य्यटनकाले युष्माकं पूजनीयानि पश्यन् ‘अविज्ञातेश्वराय’ एतल्लिपियुक्तां यज्ञवेदीमेकां दृष्टवान्; अतो न विदित्वा यं पूजयध्वे तस्यैव तत्वं युष्मान् प्रति प्रचारयामि।
24 'God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell,
जगतो जगत्स्थानां सर्व्ववस्तूनाञ्च स्रष्टा य ईश्वरः स स्वर्गपृथिव्योरेकाधिपतिः सन् करनिर्म्मितमन्दिरेषु न निवसति;
25 neither by the hands of men is He served — needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;
स एव सर्व्वेभ्यो जीवनं प्राणान् सर्व्वसामग्रीश्च प्रददाति; अतएव स कस्याश्चित् सामग्य्रा अभावहेतो र्मनुष्याणां हस्तैः सेवितो भवतीति न।
26 He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth — having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings —
स भूमण्डले निवासार्थम् एकस्मात् शोणितात् सर्व्वान् मनुष्यान् सृष्ट्वा तेषां पूर्व्वनिरूपितसमयं वसतिसीमाञ्च निरचिनोत्;
27 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, — though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
तस्मात् लोकैः केनापि प्रकारेण मृगयित्वा परमेश्वरस्य तत्वं प्राप्तुं तस्य गवेषणं करणीयम्।
28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.
किन्तु सोऽस्माकं कस्माच्चिदपि दूरे तिष्ठतीति नहि, वयं तेन निश्वसनप्रश्वसनगमनागमनप्राणधारणानि कुर्म्मः, पुुनश्च युष्माकमेव कतिपयाः कवयः कथयन्ति ‘तस्य वंशा वयं स्मो हि’ इति।
29 'Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man;
अतएव यदि वयम् ईश्वरस्य वंशा भवामस्तर्हि मनुष्यै र्विद्यया कौशलेन च तक्षितं स्वर्णं रूप्यं दृषद् वैतेषामीश्वरत्वम् अस्माभि र्न ज्ञातव्यं।
30 the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,
तेषां पूर्व्वीयलोकानाम् अज्ञानतां प्रतीश्वरो यद्यपि नावाधत्त तथापीदानीं सर्व्वत्र सर्व्वान् मनः परिवर्त्तयितुम् आज्ञापयति,
31 because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.'
यतः स्वनियुक्तेन पुरुषेण यदा स पृथिवीस्थानां सर्व्वलोकानां विचारं करिष्यति तद्दिनं न्यरूपयत्; तस्य श्मशानोत्थापनेन तस्मिन् सर्व्वेभ्यः प्रमाणं प्रादात्।
32 And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, 'We will hear thee again concerning this;'
तदा श्मशानाद् उत्थानस्य कथां श्रुत्वा केचिद् उपाहमन्, केचिदवदन् एनां कथां पुनरपि त्वत्तः श्रोष्यामः।
33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
ततः पौलस्तेषां समीपात् प्रस्थिातवान्।
34 and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.
तथापि केचिल्लोकास्तेन सार्द्धं मिलित्वा व्यश्वसन् तेषां मध्ये ऽरेयपागीयदियनुसियो दामारीनामा काचिन्नारी कियन्तो नराश्चासन्।
