प्रेरितों के काम 11
1 फेर प्रेरितां अर बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जो यहूदिया परदेस म्ह थे सुण्या के गैर यहूदियाँ नै भी परमेसवर का वचन मान लिया सै।
Now the Apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 आखर म्ह जिब पतरस यरुशलेम नगर म्ह आया, तो खतना किये होए आदमी उसतै बहस करण लाग्गे,
When Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision party started contending with him,
3 “तन्नै खतनारहित आदमियाँ कै उरै जाकै उनकै गेल्या खाया।”
saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4 फेर पतरस नै उन ताहीं शरु तै आखर ताहीं सारा किमे कह सुणाया
So Peter began by explaining it to them in order, saying:
5 “मै याफा नगर म्ह प्रार्थना करण लागरया था, अर बेसुध होकै एक दर्शन देख्या के एक बड्डी चाद्दर च्यारु कुणयां तै लटकदी होई, अकास तै उतरकै मेरै धोरै आई।”
“I was in the town of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain object like a great sheet coming down out of the sky, being lowered by its four corners; and it came to me.
6 जिब मन्नै उसपै गौर करया, तो उस म्ह धरती के चार पैरां आळे अर बणपशु अर रेंगण आळे जिनोर अर अकास के पंछी देक्खे,
Upon peering into it I observed and distinguished the quadrupeds of the earth—both the wild animals and the reptiles—and the birds of the sky.
7 अर यो बोल भी सुण्या, “हे पतरस उठ, मार अर खा।”
Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, slaughter and eat!’
8 मन्नै कह्या, “ना प्रभु, ना, क्यूँके कोए अशुद्ध चीज मेरै मुँह म्ह कदे न्ही गई।”
So I said: ‘No way, Lord! Never has anything ‘common’ or unclean entered my mouth!’
9 इसकै जवाब म्ह अकास तै दुसरी बर आवाज होई, “जो किमे परमेसवर नै शुद्ध ठैहराया सै, उस ताहीं अशुद्ध मतना कहवै।”
But the voice answered me, a second time, from heaven, ‘Things that God has made clean you must not call ‘common’.’
10 तीन बर इसा होया, फेर सारा किमे दुबारा अकास पै खींच लिया गया।
Well this was done three times, and it was all pulled back up into the sky.
11 जिब्बे तीन माणस जो कुरनेलियुस नै कैसरिया परदेस तै मेरै धोरै भेज्जे थे, उस घर पै जिसम्ह हम थे, आण खड़े होए।
At that very moment three men stopped in front of the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 फेर पवित्र आत्मा नै मेरै तै बेझिझक होकै उनकै गेल्या जाण खात्तर कह्या, अर छ: भाई भी मेरै गेल्या हो लिये, अर हम उस माणस कै घरां गये।
The Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house.
13 उसनै म्हारै ताहीं बताया, के उसनै एक सुर्गदूत ताहीं अपणे घर म्ह खड्या देख्या, जिसनै उसतै कह्या, “याफा नगर म्ह माणस भेजकै शमौन ताहीं जो पतरस कुह्वावै सै, बुलवा ले।
He then related to us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,
14 वो थारे तै इसी बात कहवैगा, जिनकै जरिये तू अर तेरा सारा घराना उद्धार पावैगा।”
who will speak words to you by which you and all your household will be saved.’
15 जिब म्ह बात करण लाग्या, तो पवित्र आत्मा उनपै उस्से तरियां तै उतरया जिस तरियां तै शरु म्ह म्हारै पै उतरया था।
Well as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as on us at the beginning.
16 फेर मन्नै प्रभु का यो वचन याद आया, जो उसनै कह्या था, “यूहन्ना नै तो पाणी तै बपतिस्मा दिया, पर थम पवित्र आत्मा तै बपतिस्मा पाओगे।
I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit.’
17 इस खात्तर जिब परमेसवर नै उन ताहीं भी वोए दान दिया, जो म्हारै ताहीं प्रभु यीशु मसीह पै बिश्वास करण तै मिल्या था, तो मै कौण था जो परमेसवर नै रोक सकदा?”
So if God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed upon the Lord Jesus, who was I to be able to withstand God?”
18 यो सुणण कै बाद उसके जवाब म्ह वे यहूदी बिश्वासी कुछ भी न्ही बोल पाए, अर परमेसवर की बड़ाई करकै कहण लाग्गे, “फेर तो परमेसवर नै गैर यहूदियाँ ताहीं भी अनन्त जीवन कै खात्तर पापां की माफी अर यीशु मसीह पै बिश्वास करण का दान दिया सै।”
Upon hearing these things they acquiesced and started glorifying God, saying, “So then, God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance into life!”
19 जो आदमी उस क्ळेश के मारे जो स्तिफनुस कै कारण पड्या था, खिंड-मिंड हो गये थे, वे हांडदे-हांडदे फीनीके परदेस अर साइप्रस टापू अर अन्ताकिया नगर म्ह पोहचे, पर यहूदियाँ नै छोड़ किसे और ताहीं वचन कोनी सुणावै थे।
Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that came about in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.
20 पर उन म्ह तै कुछ बिश्वासी साइप्रस टापू अर कुरेनवासी थे, जो अन्ताकिया नगर म्ह आकै यूनानियाँ ताहीं भी प्रभु यीशु का सुसमाचार सुणाण लाग्गे।
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who upon entering Antioch started speaking to the Greek-speakers, preaching the good news of the Lord Jesus.
21 प्रभु का हाथ उनपै था, अर घणे आदमी बिश्वास करकै प्रभु की ओड़ फिरे।
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 जिब उनका जिक्र यरुशलेम नगर की कलीसिया के लोग्गां कै सुणण म्ह आया, तो उननै बरनबास ताहीं अन्ताकिया नगर भेज्या।
Well the report concerning them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 वो उड़ै पोहचकै अर परमेसवर के अनुग्रह नै देखकै राज्जी होया, अर सारया ताहीं उपदेश दिया के तन-मन लगाकै प्रभु तै लिपटे रहो।
Upon arriving and seeing the grace of God, he was glad, and he kept encouraging them all to remain true to the Lord with purpose of heart
24 वो एक भला माणस था, अर पवित्र आत्मा अर बिश्वास तै पूरा भरया था, अर दुसरे घणखरे आदमी प्रभु म्ह आ मिले।
(for he was a good man, full of Holy Spirit and of faith). And a considerable crowd was added to the Lord.
25 फेर वो शाऊल नै टोह्ण कै खात्तर तरसुस नगर म्ह चल्या गया।
Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to look for Saul,
26 जिब वो उसतै मिल्या तो उस ताहीं अन्ताकिया नगर ल्याया, अर इसा होया के वे एक साल ताहीं कलीसिया कै गेल्या मिलदे अर प्रभु यीशु मसीह का घणे आदमियाँ ताहीं उपदेश देन्दे रहे, अर चेल्लें सारया तै पैहल्या अन्ताकिया नगर ए म्ह मसीह कुहाए।
and upon finding him he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they met with the congregation and taught a great many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 उननै दिनां म्ह कई नबी यरुशलेम नगर तै अन्ताकिया नगर आए।
Now in these days, prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 उन म्ह तै अगबुस नामक एक नबी नै खड़े होकै आत्मा की प्रेरणा तै न्यू बताया के सारी दुनिया म्ह बड्ड़ा अकाळ पड़ैगा, वो अकाळ (रोम के सम्राट) क्लौदियुस के बखत म्ह पड्या।
One of them, named Agabus, stood up and indicated by the Spirit that a great famine was about to come upon the whole world (this indeed happened while Claudius was Caesar).
29 फेर चेल्यां नै फैसला लिया के हरेक अपणी-अपणी पूंजी कै मुताबिक यहूदिया परदेस म्ह रहण आळे भाईयाँ की मदद कै खात्तर किमे भेज्जै।
Then the disciples, to the extent that any had plenty, each of them determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 उननै इस तरियां ए करया, अर बरनबास अर शाऊल कै हाथ कलीसिया के अगुवां कै धोरै कुछ भेज दिया।
which they also did, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.
