And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
2 anyacca bhaktalokAstaM stiphAnaM zmazAne sthApayitvA bahu vyalapan|
and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
3 kintu zaulo gRhe gRhe bhramitvA striyaH puruSAMzca dhRtvA kArAyAM baddhvA maNDalyA mahotpAtaM kRtavAn|
and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
4 anyacca ye vikIrNA abhavan te sarvvatra bhramitvA susaMvAdaM prAcArayan|
they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.
5 tadA philipaH zomiroNnagaraM gatvA khrISTAkhyAnaM prAcArayat;
And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,
6 tato'zuci-bhRtagrastalokebhyo bhUtAzcItkRtyAgacchan tathA bahavaH pakSAghAtinaH khaJjA lokAzca svasthA abhavan|
the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
7 tasmAt lAkA IdRzaM tasyAzcaryyaM karmma vilokya nizamya ca sarvva ekacittIbhUya tenoktAkhyAne manAMsi nyadadhuH|
for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
8 tasminnagare mahAnandazcAbhavat|
and there was great joy in that city.
9 tataH pUrvvaM tasminnagare zimonnAmA kazcijjano bahvI rmAyAkriyAH kRtvA svaM kaJcana mahApuruSaM procya zomiroNIyAnAM mohaM janayAmAsa|
And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
10 tasmAt sa mAnuSa Izvarasya mahAzaktisvarUpa ityuktvA bAlavRddhavanitAH sarvve lAkAstasmin manAMsi nyadadhuH|
to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;'
11 sa bahukAlAn mAyAvikriyayA sarvvAn atIva mohayAJcakAra, tasmAt te taM menire|
and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.
12 kintvIzvarasya rAjyasya yIzukhrISTasya nAmnazcAkhyAnapracAriNaH philipasya kathAyAM vizvasya teSAM strIpuruSobhayalokA majjitA abhavan|
And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;
13 zeSe sa zimonapi svayaM pratyait tato majjitaH san philipena kRtAm AzcaryyakriyAM lakSaNaJca vilokyAsambhavaM manyamAnastena saha sthitavAn|
and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.

And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,
15 tatastau tat sthAnam upasthAya lokA yathA pavitram AtmAnaM prApnuvanti tadarthaM prArthayetAM|
who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —
16 yataste purA kevalaprabhuyIzo rnAmnA majjitamAtrA abhavan, na tu teSAM madhye kamapi prati pavitrasyAtmana AvirbhAvo jAtaH|
for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;
17 kintu preritAbhyAM teSAM gAtreSu kareSvarpiteSu satsu te pavitram AtmAnam prApnuvan|
then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 itthaM lokAnAM gAtreSu preritayoH karArpaNena tAn pavitram AtmAnaM prAptAn dRSTvA sa zimon tayoH samIpe mudrA AnIya kathitavAn;
And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,
19 ahaM yasya gAtre hastam arpayiSyAmi tasyApi yathetthaM pavitrAtmaprApti rbhavati tAdRzIM zaktiM mahyaM dattaM|
saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.'
20 kintu pitarastaM pratyavadat tava mudrAstvayA vinazyantu yata Izvarasya dAnaM mudrAbhiH krIyate tvamitthaM buddhavAn;
And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;
21 IzvarAya tAvantaHkaraNaM saralaM nahi, tasmAd atra tavAMzo'dhikArazca kopi nAsti|
thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;
22 ata etatpApahetoH khedAnvitaH san kenApi prakAreNa tava manasa etasyAH kukalpanAyAH kSamA bhavati, etadartham Izvare prArthanAM kuru;
reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,
23 yatastvaM tiktapitte pApasya bandhane ca yadasi tanmayA buddham|
for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'
24 tadA zimon akathayat tarhi yuvAbhyAmuditA kathA mayi yathA na phalati tadarthaM yuvAM mannimittaM prabhau prArthanAM kurutaM|
And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.'
25 anena prakAreNa tau sAkSyaM dattvA prabhoH kathAM pracArayantau zomiroNIyAnAm anekagrAmeSu susaMvAdaJca pracArayantau yirUzAlamnagaraM parAvRtya gatau|
They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
26 tataH param Izvarasya dUtaH philipam ityAdizat, tvamutthAya dakSiNasyAM dizi yo mArgo prAntarasya madhyena yirUzAlamo 'sAnagaraM yAti taM mArgaM gaccha|
And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert.
27 tataH sa utthAya gatavAn; tadA kandAkInAmnaH kUzlokAnAM rAjJyAH sarvvasampatteradhIzaH kUzadezIya ekaH SaNDo bhajanArthaM yirUzAlamnagaram Agatya
And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;
28 punarapi rathamAruhya yizayiyanAmno bhaviSyadvAdino granthaM paThan pratyAgacchati|
he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 etasmin samaye AtmA philipam avadat, tvam rathasya samIpaM gatvA tena sArddhaM mila|
And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'
30 tasmAt sa dhAvan tasya sannidhAvupasthAya tena paThyamAnaM yizayiyathaviSyadvAdino vAkyaM zrutvA pRSTavAn yat paThasi tat kiM budhyase?
and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?'
31 tataH sa kathitavAn kenacinna bodhitohaM kathaM budhyeya? tataH sa philipaM rathamAroDhuM svena sArddham upaveSTuJca nyavedayat|
and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
32 sa zAstrasyetadvAkyaM paThitavAn yathA, samAnIyata ghAtAya sa yathA meSazAvakaH| lomacchedakasAkSAcca meSazca nIravo yathA| Abadhya vadanaM svIyaM tathA sa samatiSThata|
And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;
33 anyAyena vicAreNa sa ucchinno 'bhavat tadA| tatkAlInamanuSyAn ko jano varNayituM kSamaH| yato jIvannRNAM dezAt sa ucchinno 'bhavat dhruvaM|
in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'
34 anantaraM sa philipam avadat nivedayAmi, bhaviSyadvAdI yAmimAM kathAM kathayAmAsa sa kiM svasmin vA kasmiMzcid anyasmin?
And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?'
35 tataH philipastatprakaraNam Arabhya yIzorupAkhyAnaM tasyAgre prAstaut|
and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.
36 itthaM mArgeNa gacchantau jalAzayasya samIpa upasthitau; tadA klIbo'vAdIt pazyAtra sthAne jalamAste mama majjane kA bAdhA?
And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'
37 tataH philipa uttaraM vyAharat svAntaHkaraNena sAkaM yadi pratyeSi tarhi bAdhA nAsti| tataH sa kathitavAn yIzukhrISTa Izvarasya putra ityahaM pratyemi|
[And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']
38 tadA rathaM sthagitaM karttum AdiSTe philipaklIbau dvau jalam avAruhatAM; tadA philipastam majjayAmAsa|
and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
39 tatpazcAt jalamadhyAd utthitayoH satoH paramezvarasyAtmA philipaM hRtvA nItavAn, tasmAt klIbaH punastaM na dRSTavAn tathApi hRSTacittaH san svamArgeNa gatavAn|
and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
40 philipazcAsdodnagaram upasthAya tasmAt kaisariyAnagara upasthitikAlaparyyanataM sarvvasminnagare susaMvAdaM pracArayan gatavAn|
and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.
