preritāḥ 21
1 tai rvisṛṣṭāḥ santo vayaṁ potaṁ bāhayitvā ṛjumārgeṇa koṣam upadvīpam āgatya pare'hani rodiyopadvīpam āgacchāma tatastasmāt pātārāyām upātiṣṭhāma|
And when it came to pass that we were parted from them, and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 tatra phainīkiyādeśagāminam potamekaṁ prāpya tamāruhya gatavantaḥ|
and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3 kupropadvīpaṁ dṛṣṭvā taṁ savyadiśi sthāpayitvā suriyādeśaṁ gatvā potasthadravyāṇyavarohayituṁ soranagare lāgitavantaḥ|
And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 tatra śiṣyagaṇasya sākṣātkaraṇāya vayaṁ tatra saptadināni sthitavantaḥ paścātte pavitreṇātmanā paulaṁ vyāharan tvaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ mā gamaḥ|
And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.
5 tatasteṣu saptasu dineṣu yāpiteṣu satsu vayaṁ tasmāt sthānāt nijavartmanā gatavantaḥ, tasmāt te sabālavṛddhavanitā asmābhiḥ saha nagarasya parisaraparyyantam āgatāḥ paścādvayaṁ jaladhitaṭe jānupātaṁ prārthayāmahi|
And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way, till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed,
6 tataḥ parasparaṁ visṛṣṭāḥ santo vayaṁ potaṁ gatāste tu svasvagṛhaṁ pratyāgatavantaḥ|
and bade each other farewell; and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
7 vayaṁ soranagarāt nāvā prasthāya talimāyinagaram upātiṣṭhāma tatrāsmākaṁ samudrīyamārgasyānto'bhavat tatra bhrātṛgaṇaṁ namaskṛtya dinamekaṁ taiḥ sārddham uṣatavantaḥ|
And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 pare 'hani paulastasya saṅgino vayañca pratiṣṭhamānāḥ kaisariyānagaram āgatya susaṁvādapracārakānāṁ saptajanānāṁ philipanāmna ekasya gṛhaṁ praviśyāvatiṣṭhāma|
And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
9 tasya catasro duhitaro'nūḍhā bhaviṣyadvādinya āsan|
Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 tatrāsmāsu bahudināni proṣiteṣu yihūdīyadeśād āgatyāgābanāmā bhaviṣyadvādī samupasthitavān|
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 sosmākaṁ samīpametya paulasya kaṭibandhanaṁ gṛhītvā nijahastāpādān baddhvā bhāṣitavān yasyedaṁ kaṭibandhanaṁ taṁ yihūdīyalokā yirūśālamanagara itthaṁ baddhvā bhinnadeśīyānāṁ kareṣu samarpayiṣyantīti vākyaṁ pavitra ātmā kathayati|
And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 etādṛśīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā vayaṁ tannagaravāsino bhrātaraśca yirūśālamaṁ na yātuṁ paulaṁ vyanayāmahi;
And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 kintu sa pratyāvādīt, yūyaṁ kiṁ kurutha? kiṁ krandanena mamāntaḥkaraṇaṁ vidīrṇaṁ kariṣyatha? prabho ryīśo rnāmno nimittaṁ yirūśālami baddho bhavituṁ kevala tanna prāṇān dātumapi sasajjosmi|
Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 tenāsmākaṁ kathāyām agṛhītāyām īśvarasya yathecchā tathaiva bhavatvityuktvā vayaṁ nirasyāma|
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 pare'hani pātheyadravyāṇi gṛhītvā yirūśālamaṁ prati yātrām akurmma|
And after these days we took up our baggage, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 tataḥ kaisariyānagaranivāsinaḥ katipayāḥ śiṣyā asmābhiḥ sārddham itvā kṛprīyena mnāsannāmnā yena prācīnaśiṣyena sārddham asmābhi rvastavyaṁ tasya samīpam asmān nītavantaḥ|
And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 asmāsu yirūśālamyupasthiteṣu tatrasthabhrātṛgaṇo'smān āhlādena gṛhītavān|
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 parasmin divase paule'smābhiḥ saha yākūbo gṛhaṁ praviṣṭe lokaprācīnāḥ sarvve tatra pariṣadi saṁsthitāḥ|
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 anantaraṁ sa tān natvā svīyapracāraṇena bhinnadeśīyān pratīśvaro yāni karmmāṇi sādhitavān tadīyāṁ kathām anukramāt kathitavān|
And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 iti śrutvā te prabhuṁ dhanyaṁ procya vākyamidam abhāṣanta, he bhrāta ryihūdīyānāṁ madhye bahusahasrāṇi lokā viśvāsina āsate kintu te sarvve vyavasthāmatācāriṇa etat pratyakṣaṁ paśyasi|
And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them which have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:
21 śiśūnāṁ tvakchedanādyācaraṇaṁ pratiṣidhya tvaṁ bhinnadeśanivāsino yihūdīyalokān mūsāvākyam aśraddhātum upadiśasīti taiḥ śrutamasti|
and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 tvamatrāgatosīti vārttāṁ samākarṇya jananivaho militvāvaśyamevāgamiṣyati; ataeva kiṁ karaṇīyam? atra vayaṁ mantrayitvā samupāyaṁ tvāṁ vadāmastaṁ tvamācara|
What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come.
23 vrataṁ karttuṁ kṛtasaṅkalpā ye'smāṁka catvāro mānavāḥ santi
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 tān gṛhītvā taiḥ sahitaḥ svaṁ śuciṁ kuru tathā teṣāṁ śiromuṇḍane yo vyayo bhavati taṁ tvaṁ dehi| tathā kṛte tvadīyācāre yā janaśruti rjāyate sālīkā kintu tvaṁ vidhiṁ pālayan vyavasthānusāreṇevācarasīti te bhotsante|
these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
25 bhinnadeśīyānāṁ viśvāsilokānāṁ nikaṭe vayaṁ patraṁ likhitvetthaṁ sthirīkṛtavantaḥ, devaprasādabhojanaṁ raktaṁ galapīḍanamāritaprāṇibhojanaṁ vyabhicāraścaitebhyaḥ svarakṣaṇavyatirekeṇa teṣāmanyavidhipālanaṁ karaṇīyaṁ na|
But as touching the Gentiles which have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
26 tataḥ paulastān mānuṣānādāya parasmin divase taiḥ saha śuci rbhūtvā mandiraṁ gatvā śaucakarmmaṇo dineṣu sampūrṇeṣu teṣām ekaikārthaṁ naivedyādyutsargo bhaviṣyatīti jñāpitavān|
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 teṣu saptasu dineṣu samāptakalpeṣu āśiyādeśanivāsino yihūdīyāstaṁ madhyemandiraṁ vilokya jananivahasya manaḥsu kupravṛttiṁ janayitvā taṁ dhṛtvā
And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude, and laid hands on him,
28 proccaiḥ prāvocan, he isrāyellokāḥ sarvve sāhāyyaṁ kuruta| yo manuja eteṣāṁ lokānāṁ mūsāvyavasthāyā etasya sthānasyāpi viparītaṁ sarvvatra sarvvān śikṣayati sa eṣaḥ; viśeṣataḥ sa bhinnadeśīyalokān mandiram ānīya pavitrasthānametad apavitramakarot|
crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.
29 pūrvvaṁ te madhyenagaram iphiṣanagarīyaṁ traphimaṁ paulena sahitaṁ dṛṣṭavanta etasmāt paulastaṁ mandiramadhyam ānayad ityanvamimata|
For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
30 ataeva sarvvasmin nagare kalahotpannatvāt dhāvanto lokā āgatya paulaṁ dhṛtvā mandirasya bahirākṛṣyānayan tatkṣaṇād dvārāṇi sarvvāṇi ca ruddhāni|
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.
31 teṣu taṁ hantumudyateṣu yirūśālamnagare mahānupadravo jāta iti vārttāyāṁ sahasrasenāpateḥ karṇagocarībhūtāyāṁ satyāṁ sa tatkṣaṇāt sainyāni senāpatigaṇañca gṛhītvā javenāgatavān|
And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
32 tato lokāḥ senāgaṇena saha sahasrasenāpatim āgacchantaṁ dṛṣṭvā paulatāḍanāto nyavarttanta|
And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
33 sa sahasrasenāpatiḥ sannidhāvāgamya paulaṁ dhṛtvā śṛṅkhaladvayena baddham ādiśya tān pṛṣṭavān eṣa kaḥ? kiṁ karmma cāyaṁ kṛtavān?
Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
34 tato janasamūhasya kaścid ekaprakāraṁ kaścid anyaprakāraṁ vākyam araut sa tatra satyaṁ jñātum kalahakāraṇād aśaktaḥ san taṁ durgaṁ netum ājñāpayat|
And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.
35 teṣu sopānasyopari prāpteṣu lokānāṁ sāhasakāraṇāt senāgaṇaḥ paulamuttolya nītavān|
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;
36 tataḥ sarvve lokāḥ paścādgāminaḥ santa enaṁ durīkuruteti vākyam uccairavadan|
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.
37 paulasya durgānayanasamaye sa tasmai sahasrasenāpataye kathitavān, bhavataḥ purastāt kathāṁ kathayituṁ kim anumanyate? sa tamapṛcchat tvaṁ kiṁ yūnānīyāṁ bhāṣāṁ jānāsi?
And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 yo misarīyo janaḥ pūrvvaṁ virodhaṁ kṛtvā catvāri sahasrāṇi ghātakān saṅginaḥ kṛtvā vipinaṁ gatavān tvaṁ kiṁ saeva na bhavasi?
Art thou not then the Egyptian, which before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 tadā paulo'kathayat ahaṁ kilikiyādeśasya tārṣanagarīyo yihūdīyo, nāhaṁ sāmānyanagarīyo mānavaḥ; ataeva vinaye'haṁ lākānāṁ samakṣaṁ kathāṁ kathayituṁ māmanujānīṣva|
But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.
40 tenānujñātaḥ paulaḥ sopānopari tiṣṭhan hasteneṅgitaṁ kṛtavān, tasmāt sarvve susthirā abhavan| tadā paula ibrīyabhāṣayā kathayitum ārabhata,
And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
