prēritāḥ 15
1 yihūdādēśāt kiyantō janā āgatya bhrātr̥gaṇamitthaṁ śikṣitavantō mūsāvyavasthayā yadi yuṣmākaṁ tvakchēdō na bhavati tarhi yūyaṁ paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ na śakṣyatha|
And there came down certain men from Judaea, and taught the brethren, Unless ye are circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 paulabarṇabbau taiḥ saha bahūn vicārān vivādāṁśca kr̥tavantau, tatō maṇḍalīyanōkā ētasyāḥ kathāyāstattvaṁ jñātuṁ yirūśālamnagarasthān prēritān prācīnāṁśca prati paulabarṇabbāprabhr̥tīn katipayajanān prēṣayituṁ niścayaṁ kr̥tavantaḥ|
But when Paul and Barnabas had had no small dissension and debate with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 tē maṇḍalyā prēritāḥ santaḥ phaiṇīkīśōmirōndēśābhyāṁ gatvā bhinnadēśīyānāṁ manaḥparivarttanasya vārttayā bhrātr̥ṇāṁ paramāhlādam ajanayan|
They therefore, having been sent forward by the church, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 yirūśālamyupasthāya prēritagaṇēna lōkaprācīnagaṇēna samājēna ca samupagr̥hītāḥ santaḥ svairīśvarō yāni karmmāṇi kr̥tavān tēṣāṁ sarvvavr̥ttāntān tēṣāṁ samakṣam akathayan|
And having come to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they related what great things God had wrought with them.
5 kintu viśvāsinaḥ kiyantaḥ phirūśimatagrāhiṇō lōkā utthāya kathāmētāṁ kathitavantō bhinnadēśīyānāṁ tvakchēdaṁ karttuṁ mūsāvyavasthāṁ pālayituñca samādēṣṭavyam|
But there rose up certain believers of the sect of the Pharisees, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 tataḥ prēritā lōkaprācīnāśca tasya vivēcanāṁ karttuṁ sabhāyāṁ sthitavantaḥ|
And the apostles and the elders came together to consider this matter.
7 bahuvicārēṣu jātaṣu pitara utthāya kathitavān, hē bhrātarō yathā bhinnadēśīyalōkā mama mukhāt susaṁvādaṁ śrutvā viśvasanti tadarthaṁ bahudināt pūrvvam īśvarōsmākaṁ madhyē māṁ vr̥tvā niyuktavān|
And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings, and believe.
8 antaryyāmīśvarō yathāsmabhyaṁ tathā bhinnadēśīyēbhyaḥ pavitramātmānaṁ pradāya viśvāsēna tēṣām antaḥkaraṇāni pavitrāṇi kr̥tvā
And God, who knoweth the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, as he gave it to us;
9 tēṣām asmākañca madhyē kimapi viśēṣaṁ na sthāpayitvā tānadhi svayaṁ pramāṇaṁ dattavān iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
and made no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
10 ataēvāsmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā vayañca svayaṁ yadyugasya bhāraṁ sōḍhuṁ na śaktāḥ samprati taṁ śiṣyagaṇasya skandhēṣu nyasituṁ kuta īśvarasya parīkṣāṁ kariṣyatha?
Now therefore why do ye provoke the anger of God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugrahēṇa tē yathā vayamapi tathā paritrāṇaṁ prāptum āśāṁ kurmmaḥ|
But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.
12 anantaraṁ barṇabbāpaulābhyām īśvarō bhinnadēśīyānāṁ madhyē yadyad āścaryyam adbhutañca karmma kr̥tavān tadvr̥ttāntaṁ tau svamukhābhyām avarṇayatāṁ sabhāsthāḥ sarvvē nīravāḥ santaḥ śrutavantaḥ|
And all the multitude became silent, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they related what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the gentiles by them.
13 tayōḥ kathāyāṁ samāptāyāṁ satyāṁ yākūb kathayitum ārabdhavān
And after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.
14 hē bhrātarō mama kathāyām manō nidhatta| īśvaraḥ svanāmārthaṁ bhinnadēśīyalōkānām madhyād ēkaṁ lōkasaṁghaṁ grahītuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā yēna prakārēṇa prathamaṁ tān prati kr̥pāvalēkanaṁ kr̥tavān taṁ śimōn varṇitavān|
Simeon hath related how God first visited the gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktāni yāni vākyāni taiḥ sārddham ētasyaikyaṁ bhavati yathā likhitamāstē|
And with this agree the words of the Prophets, as it is written:
16 sarvvēṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ yastu sādhakaḥ paramēśvaraḥ| sa ēvēdaṁ vadēdvākyaṁ śēṣāḥ sakalamānavāḥ| bhinnadēśīyalōkāśca yāvantō mama nāmataḥ| bhavanti hi suvikhyātāstē yathā paramēśituḥ|
“After this I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which hath fallen; and I will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up;
17 tatvaṁ samyak samīhantē tannimittamahaṁ kila| parāvr̥tya samāgatya dāyūdaḥ patitaṁ punaḥ| dūṣyamutthāpayiṣyāmi tadīyaṁ sarvvavastu ca| patitaṁ punaruthāpya sajjayiṣyāmi sarvvathā||
that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the gentiles, who have been called by my name, saith the Lord, who doeth these things,
which were known from the beginning.” (aiōn g165)
19 ataēva mama nivēdanamidaṁ bhinnadēśīyalōkānāṁ madhyē yē janā īśvaraṁ prati parāvarttanta tēṣāmupari anyaṁ kamapi bhāraṁ na nyasya
Wherefore my judgment is, that we should not trouble those who from among the gentiles are turning to God;
20 dēvatāprasādāśucibhakṣyaṁ vyabhicārakarmma kaṇṭhasampīḍanamāritaprāṇibhakṣyaṁ raktabhakṣyañca ētāni parityaktuṁ likhāmaḥ|
but that we should write to them by letter to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from that which hath been strangled, and from blood.
21 yataḥ pūrvvakālatō mūsāvyavasthāpracāriṇō lōkā nagarē nagarē santi prativiśrāmavārañca bhajanabhavanē tasyāḥ pāṭhō bhavati|
For Moses from the times of old hath had in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
22 tataḥ paraṁ prēritagaṇō lōkaprācīnagaṇaḥ sarvvā maṇḍalī ca svēṣāṁ madhyē barśabbā nāmnā vikhyātō manōnītau kr̥tvā paulabarṇabbābhyāṁ sārddham āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prati prēṣaṇam ucitaṁ buddhvā tābhyāṁ patraṁ praiṣayan|
Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among themselves, and send them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
23 tasmin patrē likhitamiṁda, āntiyakhiyā-suriyā-kilikiyādēśasthabhinnadēśīyabhrātr̥gaṇāya prēritagaṇasya lōkaprācīnagaṇasya bhrātr̥gaṇasya ca namaskāraḥ|
And they wrote by them, “The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from the gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
24 viśēṣatō'smākam ājñām aprāpyāpi kiyantō janā asmākaṁ madhyād gatvā tvakchēdō mūsāvyavasthā ca pālayitavyāviti yuṣmān śikṣayitvā yuṣmākaṁ manasāmasthairyyaṁ kr̥tvā yuṣmān sasandēhān akurvvan ētāṁ kathāṁ vayam aśr̥nma|
Whereas we have heard, that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no command;
25 tatkāraṇād vayam ēkamantraṇāḥ santaḥ sabhāyāṁ sthitvā prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmanimittaṁ mr̥tyumukhagatābhyāmasmākaṁ
it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to choose men and send them to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 priyabarṇabbāpaulābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ manōnītalōkānāṁ kēṣāñcid yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau prēṣaṇam ucitaṁ buddhavantaḥ|
men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 atō yihūdāsīlau yuṣmān prati prēṣitavantaḥ, ētayō rmukhābhyāṁ sarvvāṁ kathāṁ jñāsyatha|
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will themselves tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 dēvatāprasādabhakṣyaṁ raktabhakṣyaṁ galapīḍanamāritaprāṇibhakṣyaṁ vyabhicārakarmma cēmāni sarvvāṇi yuṣmābhistyājyāni; ētatprayōjanīyājñāvyatirēkēna yuṣmākam upari bhāramanyaṁ na nyasituṁ pavitrasyātmanō'smākañca ucitajñānam abhavat|
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to lay upon you no further burden except these necessary things:
29 ataēva tēbhyaḥ sarvvēbhyaḥ svēṣu rakṣitēṣu yūyaṁ bhadraṁ karmma kariṣyatha| yuṣmākaṁ maṅgalaṁ bhūyāt|
to abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Farewell.”
30 tē visr̥ṣṭāḥ santa āntiyakhiyānagara upasthāya lōkanivahaṁ saṁgr̥hya patram adadan|
They therefore being sent away came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31 tatastē tatpatraṁ paṭhitvā sāntvanāṁ prāpya sānandā abhavan|
And when they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32 yihūdāsīlau ca svayaṁ pracārakau bhūtvā bhrātr̥gaṇaṁ nānōpadiśya tān susthirān akurutām|
And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and confirmed them.
33 itthaṁ tau tatra taiḥ sākaṁ katipayadināni yāpayitvā paścāt prēritānāṁ samīpē pratyāgamanārthaṁ tēṣāṁ sannidhēḥ kalyāṇēna visr̥ṣṭāvabhavatāṁ|
And when they had remained some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to those who sent them.
34 kintu sīlastatra sthātuṁ vāñchitavān|
35 aparaṁ paulabarṇabbau bahavaḥ śiṣyāśca lōkān upadiśya prabhōḥ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayanta āntiyakhiyāyāṁ kālaṁ yāpitavantaḥ|
But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and publishing, with many others also, the glad tidings of the word of the Lord.
36 katipayadinēṣu gatēṣu paulō barṇabbām avadat āgacchāvāṁ yēṣu nagarēṣvīśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantau tāni sarvvanagarāṇi punargatvā bhrātaraḥ kīdr̥śāḥ santīti draṣṭuṁ tān sākṣāt kurvvaḥ|
And some days after, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit the brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are.
37 tēna mārkanāmnā vikhyātaṁ yōhanaṁ saṅginaṁ karttuṁ barṇabbā matimakarōt,
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, called Mark.
38 kintu sa pūrvvaṁ tābhyāṁ saha kāryyārthaṁ na gatvā pāmphūliyādēśē tau tyaktavān tatkāraṇāt paulastaṁ saṅginaṁ karttum anucitaṁ jñātavān|
But Paul did not think it proper to take with them a man who had left them in Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 itthaṁ tayōratiśayavirōdhasyōpasthitatvāt tau parasparaṁ pr̥thagabhavatāṁ tatō barṇabbā mārkaṁ gr̥hītvā pōtēna kuprōpadvīpaṁ gatavān;
And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted from each other, and Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
40 kintu paulaḥ sīlaṁ manōnītaṁ kr̥tvā bhrātr̥bhirīśvarānugrahē samarpitaḥ san prasthāya
And Paul chose Silas and went forth, having been commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
41 suriyākilikiyādēśābhyāṁ maṇḍalīḥ sthirīkurvvan agacchat|
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
