Acts 3
1 Ek din, tin baji homoi te, Peter aru John prathana kori bole mondoli te jai thakise.
[One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
2 Titia ta te ekjon manu ama laga pet pora bera bole napara thakise, aru manu khan pora hodai taike bukhi kene mondoli laga dorja Sundur koi kene mata jagate rakhi diye, taike mondoli te aha manu khan pora poisa mangibo nimite.
There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
3 Tai kitia Peter aru John ke mondoli bhitor te jai thaka dikhise, taikhan ke poisa mangise.
As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
4 Kintu Peter aru John taike bhal kori saise aru koise, “Amikhan phale sabi.”
As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
5 Titia etu bera bole napara manu taikhan ke saise, aru bhabise kiba taikhan pora pabo.
So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
6 Kintu Peter koise, “Suna aru chandi moi logot nai, kintu ki moi logot ase, etu moi tumike dibo. Nazareth laga Jisu Khrista naam pora koi ase, uthi kene berabi.”
Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
7 Aru Peter tai laga dyna hath dhori kene khara kori bole dise, aru etu homoi te theng laga hardi khan te takot ahi jaise.
Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 Titia etu manu khara hoi kene bera bole shuru hoise; aru taikhan logote mondoli bhitor te jaise, kudi kene aru berai kene Isor ke dhanyavad dise.
He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
9 Aru sob manu taike berai kene Isor ke dhanyavad kora dikhise.
All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
10 Aru manu khan taike dikhi kene jani loise tai kun ase, tai jun mondoli laga Sundur dorjate bhik mangi thake; aru tai logot ki hoise etu dikhi kene taikhan bisi asurit hoi jaise.
They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Aru tai Peter aru John logote jai thaka karone, sob manu polai ahi kene Solomon laga veranda kowa jagate joma hoise aru taikhan bisi asurit pora sai thakise.
As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
12 Jitia Peter etu dikhise, tai manu khan ke koise, “Israel laga manu khan, etu dikhi kene kele iman asurit lagi ase? Aru kele amikhan ke eneka sai ase, amikhan laga hokti pora nohoile amikhan bisi bhal manu huwa pora taike berabo paribole diya nisena?
When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
13 Abraham laga Isor, Isaac aru Jacob laga Isor, amikhan baba khan laga Isor, Tai laga noukar Jisu ke mohima kori dise, tumikhan taike swekar kora nai aru Pilate laga hathte di dise, jitia Pilate pora Jisu ke chari dibo koise etu bhi tumikhan mana nai.
[So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
14 Tumikhan Pobitro aru dhormik ekjon ke luwa nai, aru manu morai diya ekjon ke chari dibole binti korise.
[Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
15 Kintu Jibon diya ke morai dise, junke Isor he mora pora aru jinda kori dise- aru amikhan utu laga sakhi ase.
[God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
16 Etiya, Jisu laga naam te aru biswas pora apnikhan junke dikhi ase taike takot kori dise. Jisu laga naam te aru Tai dwara thaka biswas pora etu manu ke apuni khan sob usorte pura bhal kori dise.
It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
17 Etiya, bhai khan, moi jane apuni khan najani kene kori dise, aru tumikhan laga cholawta khan bhi eneka korise.
“Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
18 Kintu ji kotha Isor he tai laga bhabobadi khan mukh pora koi dise, Tai laga Khrista dukh pabo, aru Tai etu purah kori dise.
However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
19 Mon ghura bhi, aru, titia nijor paap pora maph pabo,
So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
20 Probhu laga asirbad apuni khan logote notun kori kene ahibo; aru Tai apuni khan nimite basi kene rakhi diya ekjon, Jisu Khrista ke pathai dibo.
[If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
21 Taike sorgote loi najabo jitia tak sob kaam pura nohoi, aru ji kotha Isor pora Tai laga pobitro bhabobadi khan laga mukh pora koi disele etu pura nohua tak. (aiōn g165)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses pora amikhan baba laga baba khan ke koise, ‘Probhu Isor pora tumikhan nimite bhai khan majot pora moi nisena ekjon bhabobadi ulai dibo, aru tai ki kotha kobo etu tumikhan sob hunibo.
For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
23 Aru kun etu bhabobadi laga kotha nahunibo, etu bhabobadi pora taike manu laga majot pora khotom kori dibo.’
[Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
24 Aru Samuel pora loi kene jiman bhabobadi khan tai pichete ahise, taikhan sob pora etu din laga kotha he koise.
[Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
25 Apuni khan bhabobadi khan laga bacha khan ase, aru Isor pora apnikhan laga baba khan logote kowa nisena, Abraham ke koise, ‘Aru tumi laga bijon pora duniya te sob parivar asishit hobo.’
You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
26 Jitia Isor pora Tai laga noukar ke mora pora jinda kori dise, Tai pora Taike tumikhan usorte poila pathai dise, tumikhan laga biya kaam pora ghurai kene loi anibo aru asirbad dibo nimite.”
[Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
