پْریرِتاح 11

1 اِتّھَں بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکا اَپِیشْوَرَسْیَ واکْیَمْ اَگرِہْلَنْ اِماں وارْتّاں یِہُودِییَدیشَسْتھَپْریرِتا بھْراترِگَنَشْچَ شْرُتَوَنْتَح۔

The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

2 تَتَح پِتَرے یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں گَتَوَتِ تْوَکْچھیدِنو لوکاسْتینَ سَہَ وِوَدَمانا اَوَدَنْ،

So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him

3 تْوَمْ اَتْوَکْچھیدِلوکاناں گرِہَں گَتْوا تَیح سارْدّھَں بھُکْتَوانْ۔

and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”

4 تَتَح پِتَرَ آدِتَح کْرَمَشَسْتَتْکارْیَّسْیَ سَرْوَّورِتّانْتَماکھْیاتُمْ آرَبْدھَوانْ۔

But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:

5 یاپھونَگَرَ ایکَداہَں پْرارْتھَیَمانو مُورْچّھِتَح سَنْ دَرْشَنینَ چَتُرْشُ کونیشُ لَمْبَنَمانَں ورِہَدْوَسْتْرَمِوَ پاتْرَمیکَمْ آکاشَدَوَرُہْیَ مَنِّکَٹَمْ آگَچّھَدْ اَپَشْیَمْ۔

“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.

6 پَشْچاتْ تَدْ اَنَنْیَدرِشْٹْیا درِشْٹْوا وِوِچْیَ تَسْیَ مَدھْیے ناناپْرَکارانْ گْرامْیَوَنْیَپَشُونْ اُروگامِکھیچَراںشْچَ درِشْٹَوانْ؛

I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.

7 ہے پِتَرَ تْوَمُتّھایَ گَتْوا بھُںکْشْوَ ماں سَمْبودھْیَ کَتھَیَنْتَں شَبْدَمیکَں شْرُتَواںشْچَ۔

Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’

8 تَتوہَں پْرَتْیَوَدَں، ہے پْرَبھو نیتّھَں بھَوَتُ، یَتَح کِنْچَنَ نِشِدّھَمْ اَشُچِ دْرَوْیَں وا مَمَ مُکھَمَدھْیَں کَداپِ نَ پْراوِشَتْ۔

‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

9 اَپَرَمْ اِیشْوَرو یَتْ شُچِ کرِتَوانْ تَنِّشِدّھَں نَ جانِیہِ دْوِ رْمامْپْرَتِیدرِشِی وِہایَسِییا وانِی جاتا۔

But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’

10 تْرِرِتّھَں سَتِ تَتْ سَرْوَّں پُنَراکاشَمْ آکرِشْٹَں۔

This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.

11 پَشْچاتْ کَیسَرِیانَگَراتْ تْرَیو جَنا مَنِّکَٹَں پْریشِتا یَتْرَ نِویشَنے سْتھِتوہَں تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے تَتْروپاتِشْٹھَنْ۔

Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.

12 تَدا نِحسَنْدیہَں تَیح سارْدّھَں یاتُمْ آتْما مامادِشْٹَوانْ؛ تَتَح پَرَں مَیا سَہَیتیشُ شَڈْبھْراترِشُ گَتیشُ وَیَں تَسْیَ مَنُجَسْیَ گرِہَں پْراوِشامَ۔

The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.

13 سوسْماکَں نِکَٹے کَتھامیتامْ اَکَتھَیَتْ ایکَدا دُوتَ ایکَح پْرَتْیَکْشِیبھُویَ مَمَ گرِہَمَدھْیے تِشْٹَنْ مامِتْیاجْناپِتَوانْ، یاپھونَگَرَں پْرَتِ لوکانْ پْرَہِتْیَ پِتَرَنامْنا وِکھْیاتَں شِمونَمْ آہُویَیَ؛

He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.

14 تَتَسْتَوَ تْوَدِییَپَرِوارانانْچَ یینَ پَرِتْرانَں بھَوِشْیَتِ تَتْ سَ اُپَدیکْشْیَتِ۔

He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’

15 اَہَں تاں کَتھامُتّھاپْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ تینَ پْرَتھَمَمْ اَسْماکَمْ اُپَرِ یَتھا پَوِتْرَ آتْماوَرُوڈھَوانْ تَتھا تیشامَپْیُپَرِ سَمَوَرُوڈھَوانْ۔

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.

16 تینَ یوہَنْ جَلے مَجِّتَوانْ اِتِ سَتْیَں کِنْتُ یُویَں پَوِتْرَ آتْمَنِ مَجِّتا بھَوِشْیَتھَ، اِتِ یَدْواکْیَں پْرَبھُرُدِتَوانْ تَتْ تَدا مَیا سْمرِتَمْ۔

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

17 اَتَح پْرَبھا یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹے پْرَتْیَیَکارِنو یے وَیَمْ اَسْمَبھْیَمْ اِیشْوَرو یَدْ دَتَّوانْ تَتْ تیبھْیو لوکیبھْیوپِ دَتَّوانْ تَتَح کوہَں؟ کِمَہَمْ اِیشْوَرَں وارَیِتُں شَکْنومِ؟

So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”

18 کَتھامیتاں شْرُوا تے کْشانْتا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ گُنانْ اَنُکِیرْتّیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَح، تَرْہِ پَرَمایُحپْراپْتِنِمِتَّمْ اِیشْوَرونْیَدیشِییَلوکیبھْیوپِ مَنَحپَرِوَرْتَّنَرُوپَں دانَمْ اَداتْ۔

When they heard this, their objections were put to rest, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

19 سْتِپھانَں پْرَتِ اُپَدْرَوے گھَٹِتے یے وِکِیرْنا اَبھَوَنْ تَے پھَینِیکِیکُپْرانْتِیَکھِیاسُ بھْرَمِتْوا کیوَلَیِہُودِییَلوکانْ وِنا کَسْیاپْیَنْیَسْیَ سَمِیپَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھاں نَ پْراچارَیَنْ۔

Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.

20 اَپَرَں تیشاں کُپْرِییاح کُرِینِییاشْچَ کِیَنْتو جَنا آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَں گَتْوا یُونانِییَلوکاناں سَمِیپیپِ پْرَبھورْیِیشوح کَتھاں پْراچارَیَنْ۔

But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.

21 پْرَبھوح کَرَسْتیشاں سَہایَ آسِیتْ تَسْمادْ اَنیکے لوکا وِشْوَسْیَ پْرَبھُں پْرَتِ پَراوَرْتَّنْتَ۔

The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.

22 اِتِ وارْتّایاں یِرُوشالَمَسْتھَمَنْڈَلِییَلوکاناں کَرْنَگوچَرِیبھُوتایامْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَں گَنْتُ تے بَرْنَبّاں پْرَیرَیَنْ۔

When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.

23 تَتو بَرْنَبّاسْتَتْرَ اُپَسْتھِتَح سَنْ اِیشْوَرَسْیانُگْرَہَسْیَ پھَلَں درِشْٹْوا سانَنْدو جاتَح،

When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.

24 سَ سْوَیَں سادھُ رْوِشْواسینَ پَوِتْریناتْمَنا چَ پَرِپُورْنَح سَنْ گَنونِشْٹَیا پْرَبھاواسْتھاں کَرْتُّں سَرْوّانْ اُپَدِشْٹَوانْ تینَ پْرَبھوح شِشْیا اَنیکے بَبھُووُح۔

Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.

25 شیشے شَولَں مرِگَیِتُں بَرْنَبّاسْتارْشَنَگَرَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ تَتْرَ تَسْیودّیشَں پْراپْیَ تَمْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَمْ آنَیَتْ؛

Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,

26 تَتَسْتَو مَنْڈَلِیسْتھَلوکَیح سَبھاں کرِتْوا سَںوَتْسَرَمیکَں یاوَدْ بَہُلوکانْ اُپادِشَتاں؛ تَسْمِنْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرے شِشْیاح پْرَتھَمَں کھْرِیشْٹِییَنامْنا وِکھْیاتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

27 تَتَح پَرَں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِگَنے یِرُوشالَمَ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَمْ آگَتے سَتِ

In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 آگابَناما تیشامیکَ اُتّھایَ آتْمَنَح شِکْشَیا سَرْوَّدیشے دُرْبھِکْشَں بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ جْناپِتَوانْ؛ تَتَح کْلَودِیَکَیسَرَسْیادھِکارے سَتِ تَتْ پْرَتْیَکْشَمْ اَبھَوَتْ۔

One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)

29 تَسْماتْ شِشْیا ایکَیکَشَح سْوَسْوَشَکْتْیَنُسارَتو یِہُودِییَدیشَنِواسِناں بھْرَترِناں دِنَیاپَنارْتھَں دھَنَں پْریشَیِتُں نِشْچِتْیَ

So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.

30 بَرْنَبّاشَولَیو رْدْوارا پْراچِینَلوکاناں سَمِیپَں تَتْ پْریشِتَوَنْتَح۔

This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.
