प्रेरितों के काम 26
1 अग्रिप्पा नै पौलुस तै कह्या, “तेरे ताहीं अपणे बाबत बोल्लण की आज्ञा सै।” फेर पौलुस हाथ तै इशारा करकै जवाब देण लाग्या,
And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul reaching forth his hand, proceeded with his defence:
2 “हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, जितनी बात्तां का यहूदी अगुवें मेरै पै इल्जाम लावै सै, आज तेरे स्याम्ही उनका जवाब देण म्ह अपणे ताहीं धन्य समझूँ सूं,
O king Agrippa, I consider myself happy, being about this day to make my defence before thee concerning all those things of which I am accused by the Jews:
3 खास करकै ज्यांतै के तू सारी यहूदी प्रथा अर परेशानियाँ नै भली-भाँति जाणै सै। इस करकै मै बिनती करुँ सूं, धीरज तै मेरी सुण।”
especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: therefore I pray you to hear me patiently.
4 “मेरा चाल-चलण शरुआत तै अपणी जात कै बिचाळै अर यरुशलेम नगर म्ह जिसा था, उसका सारे यहूदियाँ नै बेरा सै।
Moreover indeed all the Jews know my life from my youth; being from the beginning in my nation and in Jerusalem,
5 जै वे गवाही देणा चाहवैं, तो तू मेरै ताहीं तब तै पिच्छाणै सै जिब मै जवान था, के मै फरीसी होकै अपणे धर्म कै सबतै खरे पन्थ कै मुताबिक चाल्या।
knowing me originally, if they may be willing to testify, that according to the most rigid sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 अर आज मै परमेसवर के जरिये म्हारे पूर्वजां नै दिए गये उस वादे की आस के कारण उरै दोषी के रूप म्ह खड्या सूं।
And now for the hope of the promise which is from God to our fathers, I stand being judged:
7 यो वोए वादा सै, जिसके पूरे होण की आस म्हारे बारहां कुल दिन-रात सच्चाई म्ह परमेसवर की भगति-आराधना करदे होए आये सै। हे राजा, आज मेरे पै यहूदियाँ के जरिये मुकद्दमा इस्से आस कै कारण चलाया जाण लागरया सै।
unto which our twelve tribes constantly worshiping night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope I am accused by the Jews, O king.
8 जिब के परमेसवर मरे होया नै जिन्दा करै सै, तो थारे उरै या बात क्यांतै बिश्वास कै जोग्गी कोनी समझी जान्दी?”
Why is it judged by you incredible, if God shall raise the dead?
9 “मन्नै भी समझया था के यीशु नासरी कै नाम कै बिरोध म्ह मन्नै भोत कुछ करणा चाहिये।
Moreover indeed, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene:
10 अर मन्नै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह न्यूए करया, अर प्रधान याजकां तै हक पाकै घणखरे पवित्र माणसां ताहीं जेळ म्ह गेरया, अर जिब वे मार दिये जावै थे तो मै भी उनकै बिरोध म्ह अपणी राय द्यु था।
which I did also in Jerusalem, and shut up many of the saints in prison; and having received authority from the chief priests, and they being slain, I gave my vote against them;
11 हरेक आराधनालय म्ह मै उन ताहीं कांल कर-करकै यीशु की बुराई करवाऊँ था, उरै ताहीं के छो के मारे इसा बावळा होग्या के दुसरे नगरां म्ह भी जाकै उन ताहीं कांल करुँ था।”
and throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities.
12 “इस्से धुन म्ह जिब मै प्रधान याजकां तै अधिकार अर हुकम-चिट्ठी लेकै दमिश्क नगर नै जाण लागरया था,
Meanwhile journeying to Damascus with power and authority of the chief priests, I saw on the way, O king,
13 तो हे राजा, राह म्ह दोफारी कै बखत मन्नै अकास तै सूरज कै तेज तै भी बढ़कै एक चाँदणा, अपणे अर अपणे गेल्या चाल्लण आळा कै चौगरदे नै चमकदा होड़ देख्या।
about midday, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me;
14 जिब हम सारे धरती पै पड़गे, तो मन्नै इब्रानी भाषा म्ह, मेरै तै न्यू कहन्दे होए एक बोल सुण्या, ‘हे शाऊल, हे शाऊल, तू मन्नै क्यांतै सतावै सै? पैने पै लात मारणा तेरे खात्तर ओक्खा सै। (जै तू मन्नै सतावैगा तो तू खुद नै सतावैगा)’”
and we all having fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads.
15 फेर मै बोल्या, “हे प्रभु, तू कौण सै?” प्रभु नै कह्या, “‘मै यीशु सूं, जिस ताहीं तू सतावै सै।
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting.
16 पर तू उठ, अपणे पायां पै खड्या हो, क्यूँके मन्नै तेरे ताहीं ज्यांतै दर्शन दिया सै के तन्नै उन बात्तां का भी सेवक अर गवाह ठहराऊँ, जो तन्नै देक्खी सै, अर उनका भी जिनकै खात्तर मै तन्नै दर्शन दियुँगा।
But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for unto this have I appeared unto thee, to make thee a minister and a martyr both of those things which thou hast seen, and of which I will appear unto thee;
17 अर मै तन्नै तेरे माणसां तै अर गैर यहूदियाँ तै बचान्दा रहूँगा, जिनकै धोरै मै इब तन्नै इस करकै भेज्जू सूं
delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 के तू उनकी आँख खोल्लै के वे अन्धेरै तै चाँदणे कान्ही, अर शैतान कै अधिकार तै परमेसवर कै कान्ही पलटै, इस करकै के पापां की माफी अर उन माणसां कै गेल्या जो मेरै पै बिश्वास करण तै पवित्र करे गये सै, वसियत पावैं।’”
to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
19 “इस करकै हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, मन्नै उस सुर्गीय दर्शन की बात कोनी टाळी,
Therefore, O king, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:
20 मन्नै सबतै पैहल्या दमिश्क नगर कै, फेर यरुशलेम नगर कै, अर फेर यहूदिया परदेस के बासिन्दा ताहीं, अर गैर यहूदियाँ म्ह भी यो प्रचार करदा रहया के पाप करणा छोड़कै परमेसवर कान्ही बोहड़ आओ, अर अपणे सुभाव के जरिये यो साबित करो के थमनै पाप करणा छोड़ दिया सै।
but first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.
21 इन बात्तां कै कारण यहूदी मन्नै मन्दर म्ह पकड़कै मार देण की कोशिश करै थे।
On account of these things the Jews, taking me while in the temple, endeavored to kill me.
22 पर परमेसवर की मदद तै मै आज ताहीं बण्या सूं छोट्या-बड़या सारया कै स्याम्ही गवाही द्यूँ सूं, अर उन बात्तां नै छोड़ किमे कोनी कहन्दा जो नबियाँ अर मूसा नबी नै भी कह्या के होण आळी सै,
Then having received help from God, I have stood unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said were about to come to pass:
23 के मसीह नै दुख ठाणा होगा, अर वोए सब तै पैहल्या मरे होया म्ह तै जी उठकै, म्हारै माणसां म्ह गैर यहूदियाँ म्ह चाँदणे का प्रचार करैगा।”
how that Christ must suffer, how being the first from the resurrection of the dead, he is to proclaim light both to the people, and the Gentiles.
24 जिब वो इस तरियां तै जवाब देण लागरया था, तो फेस्तुस नै ऊँच्ची आवाज म्ह कह्या, “हे पौलुस, तू बावळा सै। घणे ज्ञान नै तेरे ताहीं बावळा कर दिया सै।”
And he making his defence to these things, Festus says with a loud voice, O Paul, thou art beside thyself; many writings turned thee into insanity.
25 पर पौलुस नै कह्या, “हे महामहिम फेस्तुस, मै बावळा कोनी, पर सच्चाई अर बुद्धि की बात कहूँ सूं।
But Paul says, I am not a maniac, most noble Festus; but I speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 राजा नै भी जिसकै स्याम्ही मै बिना डरे बोल्लण लागरया सूं, इन बात्तां का बेरा सै, अर मन्नै बिश्वास सै के इन बात्तां म्ह तै कोए उसतै लुक्ही कोनी, क्यूँके यो वाक्या गुप्त म्ह कोनी होया।
For the king, to whom I also speak boldly, knows concerning these things: for I am persuaded that nothing of these things is hidden; for this has not been done in a corner.
27 हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, के तू नबियाँ का बिश्वास करै सै? हाँ, मन्नै बेरा सै के तू बिश्वास करै सै।”
O king Agrippa, dost thou believe the prophets? I know that thou believest them.
28 फेर अग्रिप्पा नै पौलुस तै कह्या, “तू माड़े-से समझाण तै मन्नै मसीह बणाणा चाहवै सै?”
And Agrippa said to Paul, With little persuasion thou dost persuade thyself to make me a Christian.
29 पौलुस बोल्या, “परमेसवर तै मेरी प्रार्थना सै के, देर या सबेर तै, पर ये सारे सुणण आळे, जो आज मेरी बात सुणै सै, वे मेरै समान हो जावै।”
And Paul said, I would to God, that both in little and in much, not only you, but also all of those hearing me this day, were such as I am, except these bonds.
30 फेर राजा अर अधिकारी अर बिरनीके अर उनकै गेल्या बैठणीये उठ खड़े होए,
And the king, and the governor, and Bernice, and those sitting with them, arose up:
31 न्यायालय तै बाहर लिकाड़कै आप्पस म्ह कहण लाग्गे, “यो माणस इसा तो किमे कोनी करदा, जो मौत की सजा या जेळ, म्ह गेरण जोग्गा हो।”
and having gone away, they were talking to one another, saying, that This man is doing nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 अग्रिप्पा नै फेस्तुस तै कह्या, “जै यो माणस कैसर की दुहाई न्ही देंदा, तो छूट सकै था।”
But Agrippa said to Festus, This man was able to have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
