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 that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manaen who had been educated with 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 as they were ministring to the Lord, and fasting, the holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.

3 tatastairupavāsaprārthanayōḥ kr̥tayōḥ satōstē tayō rgātrayō rhastārpaṇaṁ kr̥tvā tau vyasr̥jan|

Then having 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|

These therefore being sent forth by the holy Spirit came down to Seleucia, and from thence they sailed away to Cyprus.

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

And when they arrived at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John for their 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 going quite through the island even to Paphos, they found there a certain magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus.

7 taddēśādhipa īśvarasya kathāṁ śrōtuṁ vāñchan paulabarṇabbau nyamantrayat|

Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an understanding man: who calling 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 magician (for so his name signifies) withstood them endeavouring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

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

Then Saul, who also is called Paul, being filled with the holy Spirit, and looking earnestly at him,

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

said, O thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, who art full of all deceit and craft, 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 shalt be blind, not seeing even the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and groping about he sought for somebody to lead him by the hand.

12 ēnāṁ ghaṭanāṁ dr̥ṣṭvā sa dēśādhipatiḥ prabhūpadēśād vismitya viśvāsaṁ kr̥tavān|

Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being struck with admiration at the doctrine of the Lord.

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

Now Paul and those that were with him loosing from Paphos, came to Perga in Pamphylia: but John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

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

And they passing on from Perga came to Antioch in Pisidia, and 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 unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, deliver it.

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

Then Paul stood up, and made a sign with his hand, and said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

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 Israel chose our fathers, and raised the people, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with mighty power brought them out of it.

18 catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvacca mahāprāntarē tēṣāṁ bharaṇaṁ kr̥tvā

And about forty years He bare with their behaviour in the wilderness.

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

And destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them their country for an inheritance.

20 pañcāśadadhikacatuḥśatēṣu vatsarēṣu gatēṣu ca śimūyēlbhaviṣyadvādiparyyantaṁ tēṣāmupari vicārayitr̥n niyuktavān|

And after these things, about the space of four hundred and fifty years, He gave them judges till Samuel the prophet.

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

And then they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the Son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of 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 David for their king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform all my will.

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

Of this man's seed, according to the promise, hath God raised up to Israel Jesus the Saviour:

24 tasya prakāśanāt pūrvvaṁ yōhan isrāyēllōkānāṁ sannidhau manaḥparāvarttanarūpaṁ majjanaṁ prācārayat|

John having preached before his coming 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 as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do ye take me to be? I am not He: but behold there cometh one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.

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

---Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all those among you that fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

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

For the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing Him, have indeed fulfilled the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, in condemning Him.

28 prāṇahananasya kamapi hētum aprāpyāpi pīlātasya nikaṭē tasya vadhaṁ prārthayanta|

And though they found in Him no capital offence, yet they desired of Pilate that He might be put to death.

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

And when they had finished all things that were written concerning 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 that came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

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

And we bring you good tidings,

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

that the promise made unto the fathers God hath fulfilled unto us their children, having raised up Jesus again: as it is also 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 that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to the place of corruption, He hath said thus, "I will give you the sure mercies of David."

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

Wherefore he saith also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine holy One to see corruption.

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

Now David having served his own generation according to the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption: but He whom God raised,

37 kintu yamīśvaraḥ śmaśānād udasthāpayat sa nākṣīyata|

did not see corruption.

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

Be it known therefore unto you, brethren, that through Him is preached unto you the remission 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, least what is spoken in the prophets come upon you,

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

"Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish; for I do a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though any one should declare it unto you."

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

As they went out of the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles desired that these words might be spoken to them on the following 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 was broken up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who addressing themselves to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 paraviśrāmavārē nagarasya prāyēṇa sarvvē lākā īśvarīyāṁ kathāṁ śrōtuṁ militāḥ,

And on the next sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of God.

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 envy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, opposing and reviling him.

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 boldly said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but since ye reject it, and judge not yourselves worthy of eternal 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 so the Lord hath commanded us, saying, "I have appointed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the utmost part 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 determined for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 itthaṁ prabhōḥ kathā sarvvēdēśaṁ vyāpnōt|

And the word of the Lord was spread through the whole country:

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

but the Jews stirred up devout and honorable women, and the heads of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.

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.
