1 پَولو دَرْبِّیلُسْتْرانَگَرَیورُپَسْتھِتوبھَوَتْ تَتْرَ تِیمَتھِیَناما شِشْیَ ایکَ آسِیتْ؛ سَ وِشْواسِنْیا یِہُودِییایا یوشِتو گَرْبّھَجاتَح کِنْتُ تَسْیَ پِتانْیَدیشِییَلوکَح۔

Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.

2 سَ جَنو لُسْتْرا-اِکَنِیَنَگَرَسْتھاناں بھْراترِناں سَمِیپیپِ سُکھْیاتِمانْ آسِیتْ۔

The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.

3 پَولَسْتَں سْوَسَنْگِنَں کَرْتُّں مَتِں کرِتْوا تَں گرِہِیتْوا تَدّیشَنِواسِناں یِہُودِییانامْ اَنُرودھاتْ تَسْیَ تْوَکْچھیدَں کرِتَوانْ یَتَسْتَسْیَ پِتا بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکَ اِتِ سَرْوَّیرَجْنایَتَ۔

Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 تَتَح پَرَں تے نَگَرے نَگَرے بھْرَمِتْوا یِرُوشالَمَسْتھَیح پْریرِتَے رْلوکَپْراچِینَیشْچَ نِرُوپِتَں یَدْ وْیَوَسْتھاپَتْرَں تَدَنُساریناچَرِتُں لوکیبھْیَسْتَدْ دَتَّوَنْتَح۔

As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.

5 تینَیوَ سَرْوّے دھَرْمَّسَماجاح کھْرِیشْٹَدھَرْمّے سُسْتھِراح سَنْتَح پْرَتِدِنَں وَرْدّھِتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.

6 تیشُ پھْرُگِیاگالاتِیادیشَمَدھْیینَ گَتیشُ سَتْسُ پَوِتْرَ آتْما تانْ آشِیادیشے کَتھاں پْرَکاشَیِتُں پْرَتِشِدّھَوانْ۔

After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.

7 تَتھا مُسِیادیشَ اُپَسْتھایَ بِتھُنِیاں گَنْتُں تَیرُدْیوگے کرِتے آتْما تانْ نانْوَمَنْیَتَ۔

And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.

8 تَسْماتْ تے مُسِیادیشَں پَرِتْیَجْیَ تْرویانَگَرَں گَتْوا سَمُپَسْتھِتاح۔

So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.

9 راتْرَو پَولَح سْوَپْنے درِشْٹَوانْ ایکو ماکِدَنِیَلوکَسْتِشْٹھَنْ وِنَیَں کرِتْوا تَسْمَے کَتھَیَتِ، ماکِدَنِیادیشَمْ آگَتْیاسْمانْ اُپَکُرْوِّتِ۔

During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”

10 تَسْییتّھَں سْوَپْنَدَرْشَناتْ پْرَبھُسْتَدّیشِییَلوکانْ پْرَتِ سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارَیِتُمْ اَسْمانْ آہُویَتِیتِ نِشْچِتَں بُدّھوا وَیَں تُورْنَں ماکِدَنِیادیشَں گَنْتُمْ اُدْیوگَمْ اَکُرْمَّ۔

As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

11 تَتَح پَرَں وَیَں تْرویانَگَرادْ پْرَسْتھایَ رِجُمارْگینَ سامَتھْراکِیوپَدْوِیپینَ گَتْوا پَرےہَنِ نِیاپَلِنَگَرَ اُپَسْتھِتاح۔

We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.

12 تَسْمادْ گَتْوا ماکِدَنِیانْتَرْوَّرْتِّ رومِییَوَسَتِسْتھانَں یَتْ پھِلِپِینامَپْرَدھانَنَگَرَں تَتْروپَسْتھایَ کَتِپَیَدِنانِ تَتْرَ سْتھِتَوَنْتَح۔

From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.

13 وِشْرامَوارے نَگَرادْ بَہِ رْگَتْوا نَدِیتَٹے یَتْرَ پْرارْتھَناچارَ آسِیتْ تَتْروپَوِشْیَ سَماگَتا نارِیح پْرَتِ کَتھاں پْراچارَیامَ۔

On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.

14 تَتَح تھُیاتِیرانَگَرِییا دھُوشَرامْبَرَوِکْرایِنِی لُدِیانامِکا یا اِیشْوَرَسیوِکا یوشِتْ شْروتْرِیناں مَدھْیَ آسِیتْ تَیا پَولوکْتَواکْیانِ یَدْ گرِہْیَنْتے تَدَرْتھَں پْرَبھُسْتَسْیا مَنودْوارَں مُکْتَوانْ۔

Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.

15 اَتَح سا یوشِتْ سَپَرِوارا مَجِّتا سَتِی وِنَیَں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوَتِی، یُشْماکَں وِچارادْ یَدِ پْرَبھَو وِشْواسِنِی جاتاہَں تَرْہِ مَمَ گرِہَمْ آگَتْیَ تِشْٹھَتَ۔ اِتّھَں سا یَتْنیناسْمانْ اَسْتھاپَیَتْ۔

And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

16 یَسْیا گَنَنَیا تَدَدھِپَتِیناں بَہُدھَنوپارْجَنَں جاتَں تادرِشِی گَنَکَبھُوتَگْرَسْتا کاچَنَ داسِی پْرارْتھَناسْتھانَگَمَنَکالَ آگَتْیاسْمانْ ساکْشاتْ کرِتَوَتِی۔

One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.

17 ساسْماکَں پَولَسْیَ چَ پَشْچادْ ایتْیَ پْروچَّیح کَتھامِماں کَتھِتَوَتِی، مَنُشْیا ایتے سَرْوّوپَرِسْتھَسْییشْوَرَسْیَ سیوَکاح سَنْتوسْمانْ پْرَتِ پَرِتْرانَسْیَ مارْگَں پْرَکاشَیَنْتِ۔

This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”

18 سا کَنْیا بَہُدِنانِ تادرِشَمْ اَکَروتْ تَسْماتْ پَولو دُحکھِتَح سَنْ مُکھَں پَراوَرْتْیَ تَں بھُوتَمَوَدَدْ، اَہَں یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ نامْنا تْواماجْناپَیامِ تْوَمَسْیا بَہِرْگَچّھَ؛ تینَیوَ تَتْکْشَناتْ سَ بھُوتَسْتَسْیا بَہِرْگَتَح۔

She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.

19 تَتَح سْویشاں لابھَسْیَ پْرَتْیاشا وِپھَلا جاتیتِ وِلوکْیَ تَسْیاح پْرَبھَوَح پَولَں سِیلَنْچَ دھرِتْواکرِشْیَ وِچارَسْتھانےدھِپَتِیناں سَمِیپَمْ آنَیَنْ۔

When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.

20 تَتَح شاسَکاناں نِکَٹَں نِیتْوا رومِلوکا وَیَمْ اَسْماکَں یَدْ وْیَوَہَرَنَں گْرَہِیتُمْ آچَرِتُنْچَ نِشِدّھَں،

They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil

21 اِمے یِہُودِییَلوکاح سَنْتوپِ تَدیوَ شِکْشَیِتْوا نَگَرےسْماکَمْ اَتِیوَ کَلَہَں کُرْوَّنْتِ،

by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”

22 اِتِ کَتھِتے سَتِ لوکَنِوَہَسْتَیوح پْراتِکُولْیینودَتِشْٹھَتْ تَتھا شاسَکاسْتَیو رْوَسْتْرانِ چھِتْوا ویتْراگھاتَں کَرْتُّمْ آجْناپَیَنْ۔

The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.

23 اَپَرَں تے تَو بَہُ پْرَہارْیَّ تْوَمیتَو کاراں نِیتْوا ساوَدھانَں رَکْشَییتِ کارارَکْشَکَمْ آدِشَنْ۔

And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.

24 اِتّھَمْ آجْناں پْراپْیَ سَ تاوَبھْیَنْتَرَسْتھَکاراں نِیتْوا پادیشُ پادَپاشِیبھِ رْبَدّھوا سْتھاپِتاوانْ۔

On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 اَتھَ نِشِیتھَسَمَیے پَولَسِیلاوِیشْوَرَمُدِّشْیَ پْراتھَناں گانَنْچَ کرِتَوَنْتَو، کاراسْتھِتا لوکاشْچَ تَدَشرِنْوَنْ

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

26 تَداکَسْماتْ مَہانْ بھُومِکَمْپوبھَوَتْ تینَ بھِتِّمُولینَ سَہَ کارا کَمْپِتابھُوتْ تَتْکْشَناتْ سَرْوّانِ دْوارانِ مُکْتانِ جاتانِ سَرْوّیشاں بَنْدھَنانِ چَ مُکْتانِ۔

Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.

27 اَتَایوَ کارارَکْشَکو نِدْراتو جاگَرِتْوا کارایا دْوارانِ مُکْتانِ درِشْٹْوا بَنْدِلوکاح پَلایِتا اِتْیَنُمایَ کوشاتْ کھَنْگَں بَہِح کرِتْواتْمَگھاتَں کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَتَح۔

When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.

28 کِنْتُ پَولَح پْروچَّیسْتَماہُویَ کَتھِتَوانْ پَشْیَ وَیَں سَرْوّےتْراسْمَہے، تْوَں نِجَپْرانَہِںساں ماکارْشِیح۔

But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”

29 تَدا پْرَدِیپَمْ آنیتُمْ اُکْتْوا سَ کَمْپَمانَح سَنْ اُلَّمْپْیابھْیَنْتَرَمْ آگَتْیَ پَولَسِیلَیوح پادیشُ پَتِتَوانْ۔

Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.

30 پَشْچاتْ سَ تَو بَہِرانِییَ پرِشْٹَوانْ ہے مَہیچّھَو پَرِتْرانَں پْراپْتُں مَیا کِں کَرْتَّوْیَں؟

Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 پَشْچاتْ تَو سْوَگرِہَمانِییَ تَیوح سَمُّکھے کھادْیَدْرَوْیانِ سْتھاپِتَوانْ تَتھا سَ سْوَیَں تَدِییاح سَرْوّے پَرِواراشْچیشْوَرے وِشْوَسَنْتَح سانَنْدِتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”

32 تَسْمَے تَسْیَ گرِہَسْتھِتَسَرْوَّلوکیبھْیَشْچَ پْرَبھوح کَتھاں کَتھِتَوَنْتَو۔

Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.

33 تَتھا راتْریسْتَسْمِنّیوَ دَنْڈے سَ تَو گرِہِیتْوا تَیوح پْرَہاراناں کْشَتانِ پْرَکْشالِتَوانْ تَتَح سَ سْوَیَں تَسْیَ سَرْوّے پَرِجَناشْچَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.

34 پَشْچاتْ تَو سْوَگرِہَمانِییَ تَیوح سَمُّکھے کھادْیَدْرَوْیانِ سْتھاپِتَوانْ تَتھا سَ سْوَیَں تَدِییاح سَرْوّے پَرِواراشْچیشْوَرے وِشْوَسَنْتَح سانَنْدِتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.

35 دِنَ اُپَسْتھِتے تَو لوکَو موچَییتِ کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں شاسَکاح پَداتِگَنَں پْریشِتَوَنْتَح۔

When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”

36 تَتَح کارارَکْشَکَح پَولایَ تاں وارْتّاں کَتھِتَوانْ یُواں تْیاجَیِتُں شاسَکا لوکانَ پْریشِتَوَنْتَ اِدانِیں یُواں بَہِ رْبھُوتْوا کُشَلینَ پْرَتِشْٹھیتاں۔

The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”

37 کِنْتُ پَولَسْتانْ اَوَدَتْ رومِلوکَیوراوَیوح کَمَپِ دوشَمْ نَ نِشْچِتْیَ سَرْوّیشاں سَمَکْشَمْ آواں کَشَیا تاڈَیِتْوا کارایاں بَدّھَوَنْتَ اِدانِیں کِماواں گُپْتَں وِسْتْرَکْشْیَنْتِ؟ تَنَّ بھَوِشْیَتِ، سْوَیَماگَتْیاواں بَہِح کرِتْوا نَیَنْتُ۔

But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”

38 تَدا پَداتِبھِح شاسَکیبھْیَ ایتَدْوارْتّایاں کَتھِتایاں تَو رومِلوکاوِتِ کَتھاں شْرُتْوا تے بھِیتاح

So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.

39 سَنْتَسْتَیوح سَنِّدھِماگَتْیَ وِنَیَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ اَپَرَں بَہِح کرِتْوا نَگَراتْ پْرَسْتھاتُں پْرارْتھِتَوَنْتَح۔

They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.

40 تَتَسْتَو کارایا نِرْگَتْیَ لُدِیایا گرِہَں گَتَوَنْتَو تَتْرَ بھْراترِگَنَں ساکْشاتْکرِتْیَ تانْ سانْتْوَیِتْوا تَسْماتْ سْتھاناتْ پْرَسْتھِتَو۔

After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
