preritāḥ 15
1 yihūdādeśāt kiyanto janā āgatya bhrātṛgaṇamitthaṁ śikṣitavanto mūsāvyavasthayā yadi yuṣmākaṁ tvakchedo na bhavati tarhi yūyaṁ paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ na śakṣyatha|
And certain men came down from Judaea, and taught the brethren, that unless ye be circumcised, in accordance with the rite of the law, ye cannot have life.
2 paulabarṇabbau taiḥ saha bahūn vicārān vivādāṁśca kṛtavantau, tato maṇḍalīyanokā etasyāḥ kathāyāstattvaṁ jñātuṁ yirūśālamnagarasthān preritān prācīnāṁśca prati paulabarṇabbāprabhṛtīn katipayajanān preṣayituṁ niścayaṁ kṛtavantaḥ|
And Paul and Barnabas had much trouble and disputation with them. And it resulted, that Paul and Barnabas, and others with them, went up to the legates and Elders at Jerusalem, because of this matter.
3 te maṇḍalyā preritāḥ santaḥ phaiṇīkīśomirondeśābhyāṁ gatvā bhinnadeśīyānāṁ manaḥparivarttanasya vārttayā bhrātṛṇāṁ paramāhlādam ajanayan|
And the church waited on them, and sent them away; and they travelled through all Phenicia and the territory of the Samaritans, narrating the conversion of the Gentiles, and causing great joy to all the brethren.
4 yirūśālamyupasthāya preritagaṇena lokaprācīnagaṇena samājena ca samupagṛhītāḥ santaḥ svairīśvaro yāni karmmāṇi kṛtavān teṣāṁ sarvvavṛttāntān teṣāṁ samakṣam akathayan|
And when they came to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the Elders, and by the legates; and they recounted all that God had wrought by them.
5 kintu viśvāsinaḥ kiyantaḥ phirūśimatagrāhiṇo lokā utthāya kathāmetāṁ kathitavanto bhinnadeśīyānāṁ tvakchedaṁ karttuṁ mūsāvyavasthāṁ pālayituñca samādeṣṭavyam|
And some who from the sect of the Pharisees had believed, rose up and said: It is necessary for you to circumcise them, and to command them to observe the law of Moses.
6 tataḥ preritā lokaprācīnāśca tasya vivecanāṁ karttuṁ sabhāyāṁ sthitavantaḥ|
And the legates and Elders assembled, to look into this matter.
7 bahuvicāreṣu jātaṣu pitara utthāya kathitavān, he bhrātaro yathā bhinnadeśīyalokā mama mukhāt susaṁvādaṁ śrutvā viśvasanti tadarthaṁ bahudināt pūrvvam īśvarosmākaṁ madhye māṁ vṛtvā niyuktavān|
And when there had been much discussion, Simon arose and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that, from the earlier days, God chose that from my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and should believe.
8 antaryyāmīśvaro yathāsmabhyaṁ tathā bhinnadeśīyebhyaḥ pavitramātmānaṁ pradāya viśvāsena teṣām antaḥkaraṇāni pavitrāṇi kṛtvā
And God, who knoweth what is in hearts, bore testimony concerning them, and gave the Holy Spirit to them, even as to us.
9 teṣām asmākañca madhye kimapi viśeṣaṁ na sthāpayitvā tānadhi svayaṁ pramāṇaṁ dattavān iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
And he made no distinction between them and us; because he purified their hearts by faith.
10 ataevāsmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā vayañca svayaṁ yadyugasya bhāraṁ soḍhuṁ na śaktāḥ samprati taṁ śiṣyagaṇasya skandheṣu nyasituṁ kuta īśvarasya parīkṣāṁ kariṣyatha?
And now, why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke on the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we could bear?
11 prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugraheṇa te yathā vayamapi tathā paritrāṇaṁ prāptum āśāṁ kurmmaḥ|
But we believe, that we as well as they, are to have life by the grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah.
12 anantaraṁ barṇabbāpaulābhyām īśvaro bhinnadeśīyānāṁ madhye yadyad āścaryyam adbhutañca karmma kṛtavān tadvṛttāntaṁ tau svamukhābhyām avarṇayatāṁ sabhāsthāḥ sarvve nīravāḥ santaḥ śrutavantaḥ|
And the whole assembly were silent, and listened to Paul and Barnabas, who related how God by their hands had wrought signs and prodigies among the Gentiles.
13 tayoḥ kathāyāṁ samāptāyāṁ satyāṁ yākūb kathayitum ārabdhavān
And after they ceased, James arose and said: Men, brethren, hearken to me.
14 he bhrātaro mama kathāyām mano nidhatta| īśvaraḥ svanāmārthaṁ bhinnadeśīyalokānām madhyād ekaṁ lokasaṁghaṁ grahītuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā yena prakāreṇa prathamaṁ tān prati kṛpāvalekanaṁ kṛtavān taṁ śimon varṇitavān|
Simon hath related to you, how God hath begun to elect a people for his name from among the Gentiles.
15 bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktāni yāni vākyāni taiḥ sārddham etasyaikyaṁ bhavati yathā likhitamāste|
And with this the words of the prophets accord, as it is written:
16 sarvveṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ yastu sādhakaḥ parameśvaraḥ| sa evedaṁ vadedvākyaṁ śeṣāḥ sakalamānavāḥ| bhinnadeśīyalokāśca yāvanto mama nāmataḥ| bhavanti hi suvikhyātāste yathā parameśituḥ|
After these things I will return, and will set up the tabernacle of David that had fallen; and will build that which was in ruins in it, and will raise it up:
17 tatvaṁ samyak samīhante tannimittamahaṁ kila| parāvṛtya samāgatya dāyūdaḥ patitaṁ punaḥ| dūṣyamutthāpayiṣyāmi tadīyaṁ sarvvavastu ca| patitaṁ punaruthāpya sajjayiṣyāmi sarvvathā||
so that the residue of men may seek the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is called; saith the Lord, who doth all these things.
Known, from of old, are the works of God. (aiōn g165)
19 ataeva mama nivedanamidaṁ bhinnadeśīyalokānāṁ madhye ye janā īśvaraṁ prati parāvarttanta teṣāmupari anyaṁ kamapi bhāraṁ na nyasya
Therefore I say to you, let them not crush those who from among the Gentiles have turned unto God.
20 devatāprasādāśucibhakṣyaṁ vyabhicārakarmma kaṇṭhasampīḍanamāritaprāṇibhakṣyaṁ raktabhakṣyañca etāni parityaktuṁ likhāmaḥ|
But let word be sent to them, that they keep aloof from the defilement of a sacrifice to idols, and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 yataḥ pūrvvakālato mūsāvyavasthāpracāriṇo lokā nagare nagare santi prativiśrāmavārañca bhajanabhavane tasyāḥ pāṭho bhavati|
For in every city, from former ages, Moses hath heralds in the synagogues, who read him every sabbath.
22 tataḥ paraṁ preritagaṇo lokaprācīnagaṇaḥ sarvvā maṇḍalī ca sveṣāṁ madhye barśabbā nāmnā vikhyāto manonītau kṛtvā paulabarṇabbābhyāṁ sārddham āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prati preṣaṇam ucitaṁ buddhvā tābhyāṁ patraṁ praiṣayan|
Then the legates and Elders, with all the church, chose men from among themselves, and sent them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Jude, who was called Barsabas, and Silas, men who were chiefs among the brethren.
23 tasmin patre likhitamiṁda, āntiyakhiyā-suriyā-kilikiyādeśasthabhinnadeśīyabhrātṛgaṇāya preritagaṇasya lokaprācīnagaṇasya bhrātṛgaṇasya ca namaskāraḥ|
And they wrote a letter by them, thus: The legates and Elders and brethren, to them that are in Antioch, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, brethren who are from the Gentiles, greeting:
24 viśeṣato'smākam ājñām aprāpyāpi kiyanto janā asmākaṁ madhyād gatvā tvakchedo mūsāvyavasthā ca pālayitavyāviti yuṣmān śikṣayitvā yuṣmākaṁ manasāmasthairyyaṁ kṛtvā yuṣmān sasandehān akurvvan etāṁ kathāṁ vayam aśṛnma|
We have heard, that some have gone from us and disquieted you, by discourses, and have subverted your minds, by saying, That ye must be circumcised and keep the law; things which we have not commanded them.
25 tatkāraṇād vayam ekamantraṇāḥ santaḥ sabhāyāṁ sthitvā prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmanimittaṁ mṛtyumukhagatābhyāmasmākaṁ
Therefore we all have thought fit, when assembled, to choose and send men to you, with our beloved Paul and Barnabas,
26 priyabarṇabbāpaulābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ manonītalokānāṁ keṣāñcid yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau preṣaṇam ucitaṁ buddhavantaḥ|
men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah.
27 ato yihūdāsīlau yuṣmān prati preṣitavantaḥ, etayo rmukhābhyāṁ sarvvāṁ kathāṁ jñāsyatha|
And we have sent with them Jude and Silas, that they may tell you the same things orally.
28 devatāprasādabhakṣyaṁ raktabhakṣyaṁ galapīḍanamāritaprāṇibhakṣyaṁ vyabhicārakarmma cemāni sarvvāṇi yuṣmābhistyājyāni; etatprayojanīyājñāvyatirekena yuṣmākam upari bhāramanyaṁ na nyasituṁ pavitrasyātmano'smākañca ucitajñānam abhavat|
For it was pleasing to the Holy Spirit, and to us, that there should not be laid upon you any additional burden, besides these necessary things:
29 ataeva tebhyaḥ sarvvebhyaḥ sveṣu rakṣiteṣu yūyaṁ bhadraṁ karmma kariṣyatha| yuṣmākaṁ maṅgalaṁ bhūyāt|
that ye keep aloof from a sacrifice to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from whoredom. And if ye keep yourselves from these, ye will do well. Be ye steadfast in the Lord.
30 te visṛṣṭāḥ santa āntiyakhiyānagara upasthāya lokanivahaṁ saṁgṛhya patram adadan|
And they who were sent, came to Antioch, and assembled all the people, and delivered the letter.
31 tataste tatpatraṁ paṭhitvā sāntvanāṁ prāpya sānandā abhavan|
And when they had read it, they rejoiced and were comforted.
32 yihūdāsīlau ca svayaṁ pracārakau bhūtvā bhrātṛgaṇaṁ nānopadiśya tān susthirān akurutām|
And with abundant discourse they strengthened the brethren; and the associates of Jude and Silas established them, because they also were prophets.
33 itthaṁ tau tatra taiḥ sākaṁ katipayadināni yāpayitvā paścāt preritānāṁ samīpe pratyāgamanārthaṁ teṣāṁ sannidheḥ kalyāṇena visṛṣṭāvabhavatāṁ|
And when, they had been there some time, the brethren dismissed them in peace to the legates.
34 kintu sīlastatra sthātuṁ vāñchitavān|
But it was the pleasure of Silas to remain there.
35 aparaṁ paulabarṇabbau bahavaḥ śiṣyāśca lokān upadiśya prabhoḥ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayanta āntiyakhiyāyāṁ kālaṁ yāpitavantaḥ|
Paul also and Barnabas remained at Antioch; and they taught and proclaimed, with many others, the word of God.
36 katipayadineṣu gateṣu paulo barṇabbām avadat āgacchāvāṁ yeṣu nagareṣvīśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantau tāni sarvvanagarāṇi punargatvā bhrātaraḥ kīdṛśāḥ santīti draṣṭuṁ tān sākṣāt kurvvaḥ|
And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return, and visit the brethren in every city, in which we have preached the word of God; and let us see what they are doing.
37 tena mārkanāmnā vikhyātaṁ yohanaṁ saṅginaṁ karttuṁ barṇabbā matimakarot,
And Barnabas was disposed to take John, who was surnamed Mark.
38 kintu sa pūrvvaṁ tābhyāṁ saha kāryyārthaṁ na gatvā pāmphūliyādeśe tau tyaktavān tatkāraṇāt paulastaṁ saṅginaṁ karttum anucitaṁ jñātavān|
But Paul was not willing to take him with them; because he left them when they were in Pamphylia, and went not with them.
39 itthaṁ tayoratiśayavirodhasyopasthitatvāt tau parasparaṁ pṛthagabhavatāṁ tato barṇabbā mārkaṁ gṛhītvā potena kupropadvīpaṁ gatavān;
In, consequence of this strife, they separated from each other: and Barnabas took Mark, and they travelled by sea and went to Cyprus.
40 kintu paulaḥ sīlaṁ manonītaṁ kṛtvā bhrātṛbhirīśvarānugrahe samarpitaḥ san prasthāya
But Paul chose Silas for his companion, and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 suriyākilikiyādeśābhyāṁ maṇḍalīḥ sthirīkurvvan agacchat|
And he travelled through Syria, and through Cilicia, and strengthened the churches.
