prēritāḥ 16
1 paulō darbbīlustrānagarayōrupasthitōbhavat tatra tīmathiyanāmā śiṣya ēka āsīt; sa viśvāsinyā yihūdīyāyā yōṣitō garbbhajātaḥ kintu tasya pitānyadēśīyalōkaḥ|
He came also to Derbe and Lystra. And look, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 sa janō lustrā-ikaniyanagarasthānāṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ samīpēpi sukhyātimān āsīt|
The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
3 paulastaṁ svasaṅginaṁ karttuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā taṁ gr̥hītvā taddēśanivāsināṁ yihūdīyānām anurōdhāt tasya tvakchēdaṁ kr̥tavān yatastasya pitā bhinnadēśīyalōka iti sarvvairajñāyata|
Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 tataḥ paraṁ tē nagarē nagarē bhramitvā yirūśālamasthaiḥ prēritai rlōkaprācīnaiśca nirūpitaṁ yad vyavasthāpatraṁ tadanusārēṇācarituṁ lōkēbhyastad dattavantaḥ|
As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 tēnaiva sarvvē dharmmasamājāḥ khrīṣṭadharmmē susthirāḥ santaḥ pratidinaṁ varddhitā abhavan|
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 tēṣu phrugiyāgālātiyādēśamadhyēna gatēṣu satsu pavitra ātmā tān āśiyādēśē kathāṁ prakāśayituṁ pratiṣiddhavān|
When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 tathā musiyādēśa upasthāya bithuniyāṁ gantuṁ tairudyōgē kr̥tē ātmā tān nānvamanyata|
When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
8 tasmāt tē musiyādēśaṁ parityajya trōyānagaraṁ gatvā samupasthitāḥ|
Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 rātrau paulaḥ svapnē dr̥ṣṭavān ēkō mākidaniyalōkastiṣṭhan vinayaṁ kr̥tvā tasmai kathayati, mākidaniyādēśam āgatyāsmān upakurvviti|
A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
10 tasyētthaṁ svapnadarśanāt prabhustaddēśīyalōkān prati susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum asmān āhūyatīti niścitaṁ buddhvā vayaṁ tūrṇaṁ mākidaniyādēśaṁ gantum udyōgam akurmma|
When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.
11 tataḥ paraṁ vayaṁ trōyānagarād prasthāya r̥jumārgēṇa sāmathrākiyōpadvīpēna gatvā parē'hani niyāpalinagara upasthitāḥ|
Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 tasmād gatvā mākidaniyāntarvvartti rōmīyavasatisthānaṁ yat philipīnāmapradhānanagaraṁ tatrōpasthāya katipayadināni tatra sthitavantaḥ|
and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of that district of Macedonia, a colony. We were staying some days in this city.
13 viśrāmavārē nagarād bahi rgatvā nadītaṭē yatra prārthanācāra āsīt tatrōpaviśya samāgatā nārīḥ prati kathāṁ prācārayāma|
On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
14 tataḥ thuyātīrānagarīyā dhūṣarāmbaravikrāyiṇī ludiyānāmikā yā īśvarasēvikā yōṣit śrōtrīṇāṁ madhya āsīt tayā paulōktavākyāni yad gr̥hyantē tadarthaṁ prabhustasyā manōdvāraṁ muktavān|
A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 ataḥ sā yōṣit saparivārā majjitā satī vinayaṁ kr̥tvā kathitavatī, yuṣmākaṁ vicārād yadi prabhau viśvāsinī jātāhaṁ tarhi mama gr̥ham āgatya tiṣṭhata| itthaṁ sā yatnēnāsmān asthāpayat|
When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." So she persuaded us.
16 yasyā gaṇanayā tadadhipatīnāṁ bahudhanōpārjanaṁ jātaṁ tādr̥śī gaṇakabhūtagrastā kācana dāsī prārthanāsthānagamanakāla āgatyāsmān sākṣāt kr̥tavatī|
It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
17 sāsmākaṁ paulasya ca paścād ētya prōccaiḥ kathāmimāṁ kathitavatī, manuṣyā ētē sarvvōparisthasyēśvarasya sēvakāḥ santō'smān prati paritrāṇasya mārgaṁ prakāśayanti|
She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."
18 sā kanyā bahudināni tādr̥śam akarōt tasmāt paulō duḥkhitaḥ san mukhaṁ parāvartya taṁ bhūtamavadad, ahaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā tvāmājñāpayāmi tvamasyā bahirgaccha; tēnaiva tatkṣaṇāt sa bhūtastasyā bahirgataḥ|
She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out at once.
19 tataḥ svēṣāṁ lābhasya pratyāśā viphalā jātēti vilōkya tasyāḥ prabhavaḥ paulaṁ sīlañca dhr̥tvākr̥ṣya vicārasthānē'dhipatīnāṁ samīpam ānayan|
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20 tataḥ śāsakānāṁ nikaṭaṁ nītvā rōmilōkā vayam asmākaṁ yad vyavaharaṇaṁ grahītum ācarituñca niṣiddhaṁ,
When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
21 imē yihūdīyalōkāḥ santōpi tadēva śikṣayitvā nagarē'smākam atīva kalahaṁ kurvvanti,
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
22 iti kathitē sati lōkanivahastayōḥ prātikūlyēnōdatiṣṭhat tathā śāsakāstayō rvastrāṇi chitvā vētrāghātaṁ karttum ājñāpayan|
The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 aparaṁ tē tau bahu prahāryya tvamētau kārāṁ nītvā sāvadhānaṁ rakṣayēti kārārakṣakam ādiśan|
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
24 ittham ājñāṁ prāpya sa tāvabhyantarasthakārāṁ nītvā pādēṣu pādapāśībhi rbaddhvā sthāpitāvān|
who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 atha niśīthasamayē paulasīlāvīśvaramuddiśya prāthanāṁ gānañca kr̥tavantau, kārāsthitā lōkāśca tadaśr̥ṇvan
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 tadākasmāt mahān bhūmikampō'bhavat tēna bhittimūlēna saha kārā kampitābhūt tatkṣaṇāt sarvvāṇi dvārāṇi muktāni jātāni sarvvēṣāṁ bandhanāni ca muktāni|
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened.
27 ataēva kārārakṣakō nidrātō jāgaritvā kārāyā dvārāṇi muktāni dr̥ṣṭvā bandilōkāḥ palāyitā ityanumāya kōṣāt khaṅgaṁ bahiḥ kr̥tvātmaghātaṁ karttum udyataḥ|
The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 kintu paulaḥ prōccaistamāhūya kathitavān paśya vayaṁ sarvvē'trāsmahē, tvaṁ nijaprāṇahiṁsāṁ mākārṣīḥ|
But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
29 tadā pradīpam ānētum uktvā sa kampamānaḥ san ullampyābhyantaram āgatya paulasīlayōḥ pādēṣu patitavān|
He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30 paścāt sa tau bahirānīya pr̥ṣṭavān hē mahēcchau paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ?
and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 paścāt tau svagr̥hamānīya tayōḥ sammukhē khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvvē parivārāścēśvarē viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|
They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
32 tasmai tasya gr̥hasthitasarvvalōkēbhyaśca prabhōḥ kathāṁ kathitavantau|
They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
33 tathā rātrēstasminnēva daṇḍē sa tau gr̥hītvā tayōḥ prahārāṇāṁ kṣatāni prakṣālitavān tataḥ sa svayaṁ tasya sarvvē parijanāśca majjitā abhavan|
He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
34 paścāt tau svagr̥hamānīya tayōḥ sammukhē khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvvē parivārāścēśvarē viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|
He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
35 dina upasthitē tau lōkau mōcayēti kathāṁ kathayituṁ śāsakāḥ padātigaṇaṁ prēṣitavantaḥ|
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
36 tataḥ kārārakṣakaḥ paulāya tāṁ vārttāṁ kathitavān yuvāṁ tyājayituṁ śāsakā lōkāna prēṣitavanta idānīṁ yuvāṁ bahi rbhūtvā kuśalēna pratiṣṭhētāṁ|
The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."
37 kintu paulastān avadat rōmilōkayōrāvayōḥ kamapi dōṣam na niścitya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam āvāṁ kaśayā tāḍayitvā kārāyāṁ baddhavanta idānīṁ kimāvāṁ guptaṁ vistrakṣyanti? tanna bhaviṣyati, svayamāgatyāvāṁ bahiḥ kr̥tvā nayantu|
But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."
38 tadā padātibhiḥ śāsakēbhya ētadvārttāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ tau rōmilōkāviti kathāṁ śrutvā tē bhītāḥ
The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39 santastayōḥ sannidhimāgatya vinayam akurvvan aparaṁ bahiḥ kr̥tvā nagarāt prasthātuṁ prārthitavantaḥ|
and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
40 tatastau kārāyā nirgatya ludiyāyā gr̥haṁ gatavantau tatra bhrātr̥gaṇaṁ sākṣātkr̥tya tān sāntvayitvā tasmāt sthānāt prasthitau|
They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
