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 in the church at Antioch, several prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simon called Niger, and Lucius who was from the city Cyrene, and Menaen, a son of the guardians 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 fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, for the work to which I have called them.

3 tatastairupavāsaprārthanayōḥ kr̥tayōḥ satōstē tayō rgātrayō rhastārpaṇaṁ kr̥tvā tau vyasr̥jan|

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away.

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

And they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they went by sea as far as Cyprus.

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

And when they entered the city of Salamis, they announced the word of our Lord in the synagogues of the Jews. And John ministered to them.

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 travelled over the whole island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a sorcerer, a Jew, who was a false prophet, and whose name was Bar-Suma.

7 taddēśādhipa īśvarasya kathāṁ śrōtuṁ vāñchan paulabarṇabbau nyamantrayat|

He adhered to a wise man, who was the proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulus. And the proconsul sent for Saul and Barnabas, and requested to hear from them the word of God.

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

And this sorcerer, Bar-Suma, (whose name is interpreted, Elymas, ) withstood them; because he wished to divert the proconsul from the faith.

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

And Saul who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit; and he looked upon him,

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

and said: O thou full of all subtilties, and all mischiefs, thou child of the calumniator, and 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, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and shalt not see the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and he went about, inquiring who would take him by the hand.

12 ēnāṁ ghaṭanāṁ dr̥ṣṭvā sa dēśādhipatiḥ prabhūpadēśād vismitya viśvāsaṁ kr̥tavān|

And when the proconsul saw what occurred, he was astonished; and he believed 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 Barnabas went by sea, from the city of Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia. And John separated from them, and went away to Jerusalem.

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

And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia: and they entered 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 law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people.

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

And Paul arose, and waved his hand, and said: Men, sons of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear ye.

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 raised them up, and multiplied them, when they resided in the land of Egypt; and, with a high arm, he brought them out of it.

18 catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvacca mahāprāntarē tēṣāṁ bharaṇaṁ kr̥tvā

And he fed them in the wilderness forty years.

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

And he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance.

20 pañcāśadadhikacatuḥśatēṣu vatsarēṣu gatēṣu ca śimūyēlbhaviṣyadvādiparyyantaṁ tēṣāmupari vicārayitr̥n niyuktavān|

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

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

And then they asked for themselves a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during 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 he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure.

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

From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer.

24 tasya prakāśanāt pūrvvaṁ yōhan isrāyēllōkānāṁ sannidhau manaḥparāvarttanarūpaṁ majjanaṁ prācārayat|

And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the 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 while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings.

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

Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life sent.

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

For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written.

28 prāṇahananasya kamapi hētum aprāpyāpi pīlātasya nikaṭē tasya vadhaṁ prārthayanta|

And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him.

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

And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

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 many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people.

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

And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our fathers,

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

lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

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

And God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David.

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

And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout one to see corruption.

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

For David, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 kintu yamīśvaraḥ śmaśānād udasthāpayat sa nākṣīyata|

But this person, whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

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

Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.

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

And every one that believeth in this man, is made just from all things, from which ye could not be made just 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 written 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, which ye will not believe, though a man relate it to you.

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

And when they had gone from them, they besought them to speak the same things to them the next sabbath day.

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

And when the synagogue was dismissed, many Jews went after them, and likewise proselytes who feared God. And they conversed with them, and persuaded them to adhere to the grace of God.

44 paraviśrāmavārē nagarasya prāyēṇa sarvvē lākā īśvarīyāṁ kathāṁ śrōtuṁ militāḥ,

And the next sabbath, the whole city assembled to hear the word of God.

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

And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and set them selves against the words which Paul spoke, and blasphemed.

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

And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

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

For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends 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 God. And those believed, who were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

49 itthaṁ prabhōḥ kathā sarvvēdēśaṁ vyāpnōt|

And the word of the Lord was talked of in all that region.

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

But the Jews stirred up the chiefs of the city, and the opulent women who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

51 ataḥ kāraṇāt tau nijapadadhūlīstēṣāṁ prātikūlyēna pātayitvēkaniyaṁ nagaraṁ gatau|

And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of Iconium.

52 tataḥ śiṣyagaṇa ānandēna pavitrēṇātmanā ca paripūrṇōbhavat|

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