prēritāḥ 13

1 aparañca barṇabbāḥ, śimōn yaṁ nigraṁ vadanti, kurīnīyalūkiyō hērōdā rājñā saha kr̥tavidyābhyāsō minahēm, śaulaścaitē yē kiyantō janā bhaviṣyadvādina upadēṣṭāraścāntiyakhiyānagarasthamaṇḍalyām āsan,

Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenaean, and Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 tē yadōpavāsaṁ kr̥tvēśvaram asēvanta tasmin samayē pavitra ātmā kathitavān ahaṁ yasmin karmmaṇi barṇabbāśailau niyuktavān tatkarmma karttuṁ tau pr̥thak kuruta|

And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

3 tatastairupavāsaprārthanayōḥ kr̥tayōḥ satōstē tayō rgātrayō rhastārpaṇaṁ kr̥tvā tau vyasr̥jan|

Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4 tataḥ paraṁ tau pavitrēṇātmanā prēritau santau silūkiyānagaram upasthāya samudrapathēna kuprōpadvīpam agacchatāṁ|

They therefore being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, came down to Seleucia, and from thence sailed to Cyprus.

5 tataḥ sālāmīnagaram upasthāya tatra yihūdīyānāṁ bhajanabhavanāni gatvēśvarasya kathāṁ prācārayatāṁ; yōhanapi tatsahacarō'bhavat|

And having come to Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John as an assistant.

6 itthaṁ tē tasyōpadvīpasya sarvvatra bhramantaḥ pāphanagaram upasthitāḥ; tatra suvivēcakēna sarjiyapaulanāmnā taddēśādhipatinā saha bhaviṣyadvādinō vēśadhārī baryīśunāmā yō māyāvī yihūdī āsīt taṁ sākṣāt prāptavataḥ|

And when they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magian, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus,

7 taddēśādhipa īśvarasya kathāṁ śrōtuṁ vāñchan paulabarṇabbau nyamantrayat|

who was with the proconsul of the country, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.

8 kintvilumā yaṁ māyāvinaṁ vadanti sa dēśādhipatiṁ dharmmamārgād bahirbhūtaṁ karttum ayatata|

But Elymas the magian (for so is his name interpreted) withstood them, seeking so turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 tasmāt śōlō'rthāt paulaḥ pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san taṁ māyāvinaṁ pratyananyadr̥ṣṭiṁ kr̥tvākathayat,

But Saul (who is also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him

10 hē narakin dharmmadvēṣin kauṭilyaduṣkarmmaparipūrṇa, tvaṁ kiṁ prabhōḥ satyapathasya viparyyayakaraṇāt kadāpi na nivarttiṣyasē?

and said, O full of all deceit, and of all mischief, son of the Devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 adhunā paramēśvarastava samucitaṁ kariṣyati tēna katipayadināni tvam andhaḥ san sūryyamapi na drakṣyasi| tatkṣaṇād rātrivad andhakārastasya dr̥ṣṭim ācchāditavān; tasmāt tasya hastaṁ dharttuṁ sa lōkamanvicchan itastatō bhramaṇaṁ kr̥tavān|

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou wilt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought to find some who would lead him by the hand.

12 ēnāṁ ghaṭanāṁ dr̥ṣṭvā sa dēśādhipatiḥ prabhūpadēśād vismitya viśvāsaṁ kr̥tavān|

Then the proconsul, when he saw what had taken place, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 tadanantaraṁ paulastatsaṅginau ca pāphanagarāt prōtaṁ cālayitvā pamphuliyādēśasya pargīnagaram agacchan kintu yōhan tayōḥ samīpād ētya yirūśālamaṁ pratyāgacchat|

And Paul and his company, having put to sea from Paphos, came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

14 paścāt tau pargītō yātrāṁ kr̥tvā pisidiyādēśasya āntiyakhiyānagaram upasthāya viśrāmavārē bhajanabhavanaṁ praviśya samupāviśatāṁ|

And they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down.

15 vyavasthābhaviṣyadvākyayōḥ paṭhitayōḥ satō rhē bhrātarau lōkān prati yuvayōḥ kācid upadēśakathā yadyasti tarhi tāṁ vadataṁ tau prati tasya bhajanabhavanasyādhipatayaḥ kathām ētāṁ kathayitvā praiṣayan|

And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.

16 ataḥ paula uttiṣṭhan hastēna saṅkētaṁ kurvvan kathitavān hē isrāyēlīyamanuṣyā īśvaraparāyaṇāḥ sarvvē lōkā yūyam avadhaddhaṁ|

Then Paul stood up, and beckoned with his hand and said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken.

17 ētēṣāmisrāyēllōkānām īśvarō'smākaṁ pūrvvaparuṣān manōnītān katvā gr̥hītavān tatō misari dēśē pravasanakālē tēṣāmunnatiṁ kr̥tvā tasmāt svīyabāhubalēna tān bahiḥ kr̥tvā samānayat|

The God of this people chose our fathers, and he exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it;

18 catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvacca mahāprāntarē tēṣāṁ bharaṇaṁ kr̥tvā

and for about forty years he nourished them in the wilderness.

19 kināndēśāntarvvarttīṇi saptarājyāni nāśayitvā guṭikāpātēna tēṣu sarvvadēśēṣu tēbhyō'dhikāraṁ dattavān|

And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as a possession.

20 pañcāśadadhikacatuḥśatēṣu vatsarēṣu gatēṣu ca śimūyēlbhaviṣyadvādiparyyantaṁ tēṣāmupari vicārayitr̥n niyuktavān|

And after that, for about four hundred and fifty years, he gave judges, until Samuel the prophet.

21 taiśca rājñi prārthitē, īśvarō binyāmīnō vaṁśajātasya kīśaḥ putraṁ śaulaṁ catvāriṁśadvarṣaparyyantaṁ tēṣāmupari rājānaṁ kr̥tavān|

And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

22 paścāt taṁ padacyutaṁ kr̥tvā yō madiṣṭakriyāḥ sarvvāḥ kariṣyati tādr̥śaṁ mama manōbhimatam ēkaṁ janaṁ yiśayaḥ putraṁ dāyūdaṁ prāptavān idaṁ pramāṇaṁ yasmin dāyūdi sa dattavān taṁ dāyūdaṁ tēṣāmupari rājatvaṁ karttum utpāditavāna|

and having removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king, to whom he gave testimony, saying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.”

23 tasya svapratiśrutasya vākyasyānusārēṇa isrāyēllōkānāṁ nimittaṁ tēṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ vaṁśād īśvara ēkaṁ yīśuṁ (trātāram) udapādayat|

From the seed of this man hath God, according to his promise, brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

24 tasya prakāśanāt pūrvvaṁ yōhan isrāyēllōkānāṁ sannidhau manaḥparāvarttanarūpaṁ majjanaṁ prācārayat|

before whose coming forward John had first preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 yasya ca karmmaṇō bhāraṁ praptavān yōhan tan niṣpādayan ētāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yūyaṁ māṁ kaṁ janaṁ jānītha? aham abhiṣiktatrātā nahi, kintu paśyata yasya pādayōḥ pādukayō rbandhanē mōcayitumapi yōgyō na bhavāmi tādr̥śa ēkō janō mama paścād upatiṣṭhati|

And as John was finishing his course, he said, Who do ye think that I am? I am not He. But lo I there cometh after me one, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 hē ibrāhīmō vaṁśajātā bhrātarō hē īśvarabhītāḥ sarvvalōkā yuṣmān prati paritrāṇasya kathaiṣā prēritā|

Brethren, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you was the word of this salvation sent forth.

27 yirūśālamnivāsinastēṣām adhipatayaśca tasya yīśōḥ paricayaṁ na prāpya prativiśrāmavāraṁ paṭhyamānānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādikathānām abhiprāyam abuddhvā ca tasya vadhēna tāḥ kathāḥ saphalā akurvvan|

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 prāṇahananasya kamapi hētum aprāpyāpi pīlātasya nikaṭē tasya vadhaṁ prārthayanta|

And though they found nothing deserving death in him, they asked of Pilate that he should be slain.

29 tasmin yāḥ kathā likhitāḥ santi tadanusārēṇa karmma sampādya taṁ kruśād avatāryya śmaśānē śāyitavantaḥ|

And when they had accomplished all that was written of him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

30 kintvīśvaraḥ śmaśānāt tamudasthāpayat,

But God raised him from the dead,

31 punaśca gālīlapradēśād yirūśālamanagaraṁ tēna sārddhaṁ yē lōkā āgacchan sa bahudināni tēbhyō darśanaṁ dattavān, atasta idānīṁ lōkān prati tasya sākṣiṇaḥ santi|

and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

32 asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ samakṣam īśvarō yasmin pratijñātavān yathā, tvaṁ mē putrōsi cādya tvāṁ samutthāpitavānaham|

And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers

33 idaṁ yadvacanaṁ dvitīyagītē likhitamāstē tad yīśōrutthānēna tēṣāṁ santānā yē vayam asmākaṁ sannidhau tēna pratyakṣī kr̥taṁ, yuṣmān imaṁ susaṁvādaṁ jñāpayāmi|

God hath fulfilled to us their children, in raising up Jesus [[from the dead]]; as it is also written in the first Psalm: “Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee.”

34 paramēśvarēṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaṁ tadīyaṁ śarīraṁ kadāpi na kṣēṣyatē, ētasmin sa svayaṁ kathitavān yathā dāyūdaṁ prati pratijñātō yō varastamahaṁ tubhyaṁ dāsyāmi|

And that he raised him up from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken: “I will give you the sure holy things promised to David.”

35 ētadanyasmin gītē'pi kathitavān| svakīyaṁ puṇyavantaṁ tvaṁ kṣayituṁ na ca dāsyasi|

Wherefore also in another Psalm he saith, “Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption:”

36 dāyūdā īśvarābhimatasēvāyai nijāyuṣi vyayitē sati sa mahānidrāṁ prāpya nijaiḥ pūrvvapuruṣaiḥ saha militaḥ san akṣīyata;

For David, after having in his own generation served the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption;

37 kintu yamīśvaraḥ śmaśānād udasthāpayat sa nākṣīyata|

but he whom God raised from the dead did not see corruption.

38 atō hē bhrātaraḥ, anēna janēna pāpamōcanaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmān prati pracāritam āstē|

Be it therefore known to you, brethren, that through this man is announced to you the forgiveness of sins;

39 phalatō mūsāvyavasthayā yūyaṁ yēbhyō dōṣēbhyō muktā bhavituṁ na śakṣyatha tēbhyaḥ sarvvadōṣēbhya ētasmin janē viśvāsinaḥ sarvvē muktā bhaviṣyantīti yuṣmābhi rjñāyatāṁ|

and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 aparañca| avajñākāriṇō lōkāścakṣurunmīlya paśyata| tathaivāsambhavaṁ jñātvā syāta yūyaṁ vilajjitāḥ| yatō yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhatsu kariṣyē karmma tādr̥śaṁ| yēnaiva tasya vr̥ttāntē yuṣmabhyaṁ kathitē'pi hi| yūyaṁ na tantu vr̥ttāntaṁ pratyēṣyatha kadācana||

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the Prophets,

41 yēyaṁ kathā bhaviṣyadvādināṁ granthēṣu likhitāstē sāvadhānā bhavata sa kathā yathā yuṣmān prati na ghaṭatē|

“Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish! for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will not believe, though one should plainly declare it to you.”

42 yihūdīyabhajanabhavanān nirgatayōstayō rbhinnadēśīyai rvakṣyamāṇā prārthanā kr̥tā, āgāmini viśrāmavārē'pi kathēyam asmān prati pracāritā bhavatviti|

And as they were going out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them on the next sabbath.

43 sabhāyā bhaṅgē sati bahavō yihūdīyalōkā yihūdīyamatagrāhiṇō bhaktalōkāśca barṇabbāpaulayōḥ paścād āgacchan, tēna tau taiḥ saha nānākathāḥ kathayitvēśvarānugrahāśrayē sthātuṁ tān prāvarttayatāṁ|

And when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and proselyte worshippers followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

44 paraviśrāmavārē nagarasya prāyēṇa sarvvē lākā īśvarīyāṁ kathāṁ śrōtuṁ militāḥ,

And on the next sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of the Lord.

45 kintu yihūdīyalōkā jananivahaṁ vilōkya īrṣyayā paripūrṇāḥ santō viparītakathākathanēnēśvaranindayā ca paulēnōktāṁ kathāṁ khaṇḍayituṁ cēṣṭitavantaḥ|

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with indignation, and spoke against what was spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

46 tataḥ paulabarṇabbāvakṣōbhau kathitavantau prathamaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhāvīśvarīyakathāyāḥ pracāraṇam ucitamāsīt kintuṁ tadagrāhyatvakaraṇēna yūyaṁ svān anantāyuṣō'yōgyān darśayatha, ētatkāraṇād vayam anyadēśīyalōkānāṁ samīpaṁ gacchāmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly and plainly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of the everlasting life, lo! we turn to the gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 prabhurasmān ittham ādiṣṭavān yathā, yāvacca jagataḥ sīmāṁ lōkānāṁ trāṇakāraṇāt| mayānyadēśamadhyē tvaṁ sthāpitō bhūḥ pradīpavat||

For thus hath the Lord commanded us: “I have set thee to be a light of the gentiles, that thou mayst bring salvation even to the end of the earth.”

48 tadā kathāmīdr̥śīṁ śrutvā bhinnadēśīyā āhlāditāḥ santaḥ prabhōḥ kathāṁ dhanyāṁ dhanyām avadan, yāvantō lōkāśca paramāyuḥ prāptinimittaṁ nirūpitā āsan tē vyaśvasan| (aiōnios g166)

And when the gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were ordained to everlasting life, believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 itthaṁ prabhōḥ kathā sarvvēdēśaṁ vyāpnōt|

And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout the whole country.

50 kintu yihūdīyā nagarasya pradhānapuruṣān sammānyāḥ kathipayā bhaktā yōṣitaśca kupravr̥ttiṁ grāhayitvā paulabarṇabbau tāḍayitvā tasmāt pradēśād dūrīkr̥tavantaḥ|

But the Jews stirred up the women of rank who worshipped God, and the chief men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them from their borders.

51 ataḥ kāraṇāt tau nijapadadhūlīstēṣāṁ prātikūlyēna pātayitvēkaniyaṁ nagaraṁ gatau|

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

52 tataḥ śiṣyagaṇa ānandēna pavitrēṇātmanā ca paripūrṇōbhavat|

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
