प्रेरिताः 1
1 हे थियफिल, यीशुः स्वमनोनीतान् प्रेरितान् पवित्रेणात्मना समादिश्य यस्मिन् दिने स्वर्गमारोहत् यां यां क्रियामकरोत् यद्यद् उपादिशच्च तानि सर्व्वाणि पूर्व्वं मया लिखितानि।
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 स स्वनिधनदुःखभोगात् परम् अनेकप्रत्ययक्षप्रमाणौः स्वं सजीवं दर्शयित्वा
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 चत्वारिंशद्दिनानि यावत् तेभ्यः प्रेरितेभ्यो दर्शनं दत्त्वेश्वरीयराज्यस्य वर्णनम अकरोत्।
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's kingdom.
4 अनन्तरं तेषां सभां कृत्वा इत्याज्ञापयत्, यूयं यिरूशालमोऽन्यत्र गमनमकृत्वा यस्तिन् पित्राङ्गीकृते मम वदनात् कथा अशृणुत तत्प्राप्तिम् अपेक्ष्य तिष्ठत।
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 योहन् जले मज्जितावान् किन्त्वल्पदिनमध्ये यूयं पवित्र आत्मनि मज्जिता भविष्यथ।
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 पश्चात् ते सर्व्वे मिलित्वा तम् अपृच्छन् हे प्रभो भवान् किमिदानीं पुनरपि राज्यम् इस्रायेलीयलोकानां करेषु समर्पयिष्यति?
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 ततः सोवदत् यान् सर्व्वान् कालान् समयांश्च पिता स्ववशेऽस्थापयत् तान् ज्ञातृं युष्माकम् अधिकारो न जायते।
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 किन्तु युष्मासु पवित्रस्यात्मन आविर्भावे सति यूयं शक्तिं प्राप्य यिरूशालमि समस्तयिहूदाशोमिरोणदेशयोः पृथिव्याः सीमां यावद् यावन्तो देशास्तेषु यर्व्वेषु च मयि साक्ष्यं दास्यथ।
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 इति वाक्यमुक्त्वा स तेषां समक्षं स्वर्गं नीतोऽभवत्, ततो मेघमारुह्य तेषां दृष्टेरगोचरोऽभवत्।
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 यस्मिन् समये ते विहायसं प्रत्यनन्यदृष्ट्या तस्य तादृशम् ऊर्द्व्वगमनम् अपश्यन् तस्मिन्नेव समये शुक्लवस्त्रौ द्वौ जनौ तेषां सन्निधौ दण्डायमानौ कथितवन्तौ,
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 हे गालीलीयलोका यूयं किमर्थं गगणं प्रति निरीक्ष्य दण्डायमानास्तिष्ठथ? युष्माकं समीपात् स्वर्गं नीतो यो यीशुस्तं यूयं यथा स्वर्गम् आरोहन्तम् अदर्शम् तथा स पुनश्चागमिष्यति।
who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 ततः परं ते जैतुननाम्नः पर्व्वताद् विश्रामवारस्य पथः परिमाणम् अर्थात् प्रायेणार्द्धक्रोशं दुरस्थं यिरूशालम्नगरं परावृत्यागच्छन्।
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 नगरं प्रविश्य पितरो याकूब् योहन् आन्द्रियः फिलिपः थोमा बर्थजमयो मथिराल्फीयपुत्रो याकूब् उद्योगाी शिमोन् याकूबो भ्राता यिहूदा एते सर्व्वे यत्र स्थाने प्रवसन्ति तस्मिन् उपरितनप्रकोष्ठे प्राविशन्।
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 पश्चाद् इमे कियत्यः स्त्रियश्च यीशो र्माता मरियम् तस्य भ्रातरश्चैते सर्व्व एकचित्तीभूत सततं विनयेन विनयेन प्रार्थयन्त।
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 तस्मिन् समये तत्र स्थाने साकल्येन विंशत्यधिकशतं शिष्या आसन्। ततः पितरस्तेषां मध्ये तिष्ठन् उक्तवान्
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 हे भ्रातृगण यीशुधारिणां लोकानां पथदर्शको यो यिहूदास्तस्मिन् दायूदा पवित्र आत्मा यां कथां कथयामास तस्याः प्रत्यक्षीभवनस्यावश्यकत्वम् आसीत्।
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 स जनोऽस्माकं मध्यवर्त्ती सन् अस्याः सेवाया अंशम् अलभत।
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 तदनन्तरं कुकर्म्मणा लब्धं यन्मूल्यं तेन क्षेत्रमेकं क्रीतम् अपरं तस्मिन् अधोमुखे भृमौ पतिते सति तस्योदरस्य विदीर्णत्वात् सर्व्वा नाड्यो निरगच्छन्।
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 एतां कथां यिरूशालम्निवासिनः सर्व्वे लोका विदान्ति; तेषां निजभाषया तत्क्षेत्रञ्च हकल्दामा, अर्थात् रक्तक्षेत्रमिति विख्यातमास्ते।
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 अन्यच्च, निकेतनं तदीयन्तु शुन्यमेव भविष्यति। तस्य दूष्ये निवासार्थं कोपि स्थास्यति नैव हि। अन्य एव जनस्तस्य पदं संप्राप्स्यति ध्रुवं। इत्थं गीतपुस्तके लिखितमास्ते।
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 अतो योहनो मज्जनम् आरभ्यास्माकं समीपात् प्रभो र्यीशोः स्वर्गारोहणदिनं यावत् सोस्माकं मध्ये यावन्ति दिनानि यापितवान्
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 तावन्ति दिनानि ये मानवा अस्माभिः सार्द्धं तिष्ठन्ति तेषाम् एकेन जनेनास्माभिः सार्द्धं यीशोरुत्थाने साक्षिणा भवितव्यं।
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 अतो यस्य रूढि र्युष्टो यं बर्शब्बेत्युक्त्वाहूयन्ति स यूषफ् मतथिश्च द्वावेतौ पृथक् कृत्वा त ईश्वरस्य सन्निधौ प्रार्य्य कथितवन्तः,
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 हे सर्व्वान्तर्य्यामिन् परमेश्वर, यिहूदाः सेवनप्रेरितत्वपदच्युतः
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 सन् निजस्थानम् अगच्छत्, तत्पदं लब्धुम् एनयो र्जनयो र्मध्ये भवता कोऽभिरुचितस्तदस्मान् दर्श्यतां।
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 ततो गुटिकापाटे कृते मतथिर्निरचीयत तस्मात् सोन्येषाम् एकादशानां प्ररितानां मध्ये गणितोभवत्।
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
