| پَولَسِیلَو آمْپھِپَلْیاپَلّونِیانَگَرابھْیاں گَتْوا یَتْرَ یِہُودِییاناں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَمیکَمْ آسْتے تَتْرَ تھِشَلَنِیکِینَگَرَ اُپَسْتھِتَو۔ | 1 |
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
| تَدا پَولَح سْواچارانُسارینَ تیشاں سَمِیپَں گَتْوا وِشْرامَوارَتْرَیے تَیح سارْدّھَں دھَرْمَّپُسْتَکِییَکَتھایا وِچارَں کرِتَوانْ۔ | 2 |
So Paul, as was his custom, went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
| پھَلَتَح کھْرِیشْٹینَ دُحکھَبھوگَح کَرْتَّوْیَح شْمَشانَدُتّھانَنْچَ کَرْتَّوْیَں یُشْماکَں سَنِّدھَو یَسْیَ یِیشوح پْرَسْتاوَں کَرومِ سَ اِیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتَح سَ ایتاح کَتھاح پْرَکاشْیَ پْرَمانَں دَتْوا سْتھِرِیکرِتَوانْ۔ | 3 |
explaining and demonstrating that the Messiah had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Messiah.”
| تَسْماتْ تیشاں کَتِپَیَجَنا اَنْیَدیشِییا بَہَوو بھَکْتَلوکا بَہْیَح پْرَدھانَنارْیَّشْچَ وِشْوَسْیَ پَولَسِیلَیوح پَشْچادْگامِنو جاتاح۔ | 4 |
Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of devout Greeks and not a few of the prominent women.
| کِنْتُ وِشْواسَہِینا یِہُودِییَلوکا اِیرْشْیَیا پَرِپُورْناح سَنْتو ہَٹَٹْسْیَ کَتِنَیَلَمْپَٹَلوکانْ سَنْگِنَح کرِتْوا جَنَتَیا نَگَرَمَدھْیے مَہاکَلَہَں کرِتْوا یاسونو گرِہَمْ آکْرَمْیَ پْریرِتانْ دھرِتْوا لوکَنِوَہَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آنیتُں چیشْٹِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 5 |
But the disobedient Jews rounded up some wicked men from the marketplace, and forming a mob they created an uproar in the city; and attacking the house of Jason, they wanted to bring them out to the crowd.
| تیشامُدّیشَمْ اَپْراپْیَ چَ یاسونَں کَتِپَیانْ بھْراترِںشْچَ دھرِتْوا نَگَرادھِپَتِیناں نِکَٹَمانِییَ پْروچَّیح کَتھِتَوَنْتو یے مَنُشْیا جَگَدُدْواٹِتَوَنْتَسْتے تْراپْیُپَسْتھِتاح سَنْتِ، | 6 |
But not finding them they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials vociferating: “These who have upset the whole world have come here too,
| ایشَ یاسونْ آتِتھْیَں کرِتْوا تانْ گرِہِیتَوانْ۔ یِیشُنامَکَ ایکو راجَسْتِیتِ کَتھَیَنْتَسْتے کَیسَرَسْیاجْناوِرُدّھَں کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّتِ۔ | 7 |
to whom Jason has given lodging. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king—Jesus.”
| تیشاں کَتھامِماں شْرُتْوا لوکَنِوَہو نَگَرادھِپَتَیَشْچَ سَمُدْوِگْنا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 8 |
Well they agitated the crowd and the city officials when they heard these things.
| تَدا یاسونَسْتَدَنْییشانْچَ دھَنَدَنْڈَں گرِہِیتْوا تانْ پَرِتْیَکْتَوَنْتَح۔ | 9 |
Then they took a security bond from Jason and the rest and let them go.
| تَتَح پَرَں بھْراترِگَنو رَجَنْیاں پَولَسِیلَو شِیگھْرَں بِرَیانَگَرَں پْریشِتَوانْ تَو تَتْروپَسْتھایَ یِہُودِییاناں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَں گَتَوَنْتَو۔ | 10 |
Immediately, during the night, the brothers sent both Paul and Silas away to Berea; on arriving they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
| تَتْرَسْتھا لوکاح تھِشَلَنِیکِیسْتھَلوکیبھْیو مَہاتْمانَ آسَنْ یَتَ اِتّھَں بھَوَتِ نَ ویتِ جْناتُں دِنے دِنے دھَرْمَّگْرَنْتھَسْیالوچَناں کرِتْوا سْوَیرَں کَتھامْ اَگرِہْلَنْ۔ | 11 |
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all goodwill, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things might be so.
| تَسْمادْ اَنیکے یِہُودِییا اَنْیَدیشِییاناں مانْیا سْتْرِیَح پُرُشاشْچانیکے وْیَشْوَسَنْ۔ | 12 |
Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
| کِنْتُ بِرَیانَگَرے پَولینیشْوَرِییا کَتھا پْرَچارْیَّتَ اِتِ تھِشَلَنِیکِیسْتھا یِہُودِییا جْناتْوا تَتْسْتھانَمَپْیاگَتْیَ لوکاناں کُپْرَورِتِّمْ اَجَنَیَنْ۔ | 13 |
But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the Word of God was also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.
| اَتَایوَ تَسْماتْ سْتھاناتْ سَمُدْرینَ یانْتِیتِ دَرْشَیِتْوا بھْراتَرَح کْشِپْرَں پَولَں پْراہِنْوَنْ کِنْتُ سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَو تَتْرَ سْتھِتَوَنْتَو۔ | 14 |
So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.
| تَتَح پَرَں پَولَسْیَ مارْگَدَرْشَکاسْتَمْ آتھِینِینَگَرَ اُپَسْتھاپَیَنْ پَشْچادْ یُواں تُورْنَمْ ایتَتْ سْتھانَں آگَمِشْیَتھَح سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَو پْرَتِیمامْ آجْناں پْراپْیَ تے پْرَتْیاگَتاح۔ | 15 |
But those who were conducting Paul actually took him all the way to Athens; and receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they started back.
| پَولَ آتھِینِینَگَرے تاوَپیکْشْیَ تِشْٹھَنْ تَنَّگَرَں پْرَتِمابھِح پَرِپُورْنَں درِشْٹْوا سَنْتَپْتَہرِدَیو بھَوَتْ۔ | 16 |
Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was increasingly aroused within him as he observed that the city was full of idols.
| تَتَح سَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے یانْ یِہُودِییانْ بھَکْتَلوکاںشْچَ ہَٹّے چَ یانْ اَپَشْیَتْ تَیح سَہَ پْرَتِدِنَں وِچارِتَوانْ۔ | 17 |
So he reasoned both in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.
| کِنْتْوِپِکُورِییَمَتَگْرَہِنَح سْتویِکِییَمَتَگْراہِنَشْچَ کِیَنْتو جَناسْتینَ سارْدّھَں وْیَوَدَنْتَ۔ تَتْرَ کیچِدْ اَکَتھَیَنْ ایشَ واچالَح کِں وَکْتُمْ اِچّھَتِ؟ اَپَرے کیچِدْ ایشَ جَنَح کیشانْچِدْ وِدیشِییَدیواناں پْرَچارَکَ اِتْیَنُمِییَتے یَتَح سَ یِیشُمْ اُتّھِتِنْچَ پْرَچارَیَتْ۔ | 18 |
Then certain philosophers, both Epicureans and Stoics, encountered him. Some said, “What might this idea-scavenger want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
| تے تَمْ اَرییَپاگَنامَ وِچارَسْتھانَمْ آنِییَ پْراووچَنْ اِدَں یَنَّوِینَں مَتَں تْوَں پْراچِیکَشَ اِدَں کِیدرِشَں ایتَدْ اَسْمانْ شْراوَیَ؛ | 19 |
So taking him in tow they led him to the Areopagus and said: “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
| یامِمامْ اَسَمْبھَوَکَتھامْ اَسْماکَں کَرْنَگوچَرِیکرِتَوانْ اَسْیا بھاوارْتھَح کَ اِتِ وَیَں جْناتُمْ اِچّھامَح۔ | 20 |
Because you are bringing some strange things to our ears, and we would like to know what they might mean.”
| تَداتھِینِینِواسِنَسْتَنَّگَرَپْرَواسِنَشْچَ کیوَلَں کَسْیاشْچَنَ نَوِینَکَتھایاح شْرَوَنینَ پْرَچارَنینَ چَ کالَمْ اَیاپَیَنْ۔ | 21 |
(Now all Athenians and resident foreigners spent their time in nothing else but to tell, or else to hear, some novelty.)
| پَولورییَپاگَسْیَ مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنْ ایتاں کَتھاں پْرَچارِتَوانْ، ہے آتھِینِییَلوکا یُویَں سَرْوَّتھا دیوَپُوجایامْ آسَکْتا اِتْیَہَ پْرَتْیَکْشَں پَشْیامِ۔ | 22 |
So standing in the middle of the Areopagus Paul said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious;
| یَتَح پَرْیَّٹَنَکالے یُشْماکَں پُوجَنِییانِ پَشْیَنْ ‘اَوِجْناتیشْوَرایَ’ ایتَلِّپِیُکْتاں یَجْنَویدِیمیکاں درِشْٹَوانْ؛ اَتو نَ وِدِتْوا یَں پُوجَیَدھْوے تَسْیَیوَ تَتْوَں یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ پْرَچارَیامِ۔ | 23 |
because as I went along and scrutinized the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO UNKNOWN GOD. Now then, the one you worship as ‘unknown’, this is the One I proclaim to you:
| جَگَتو جَگَتْسْتھاناں سَرْوَّوَسْتُونانْچَ سْرَشْٹا یَ اِیشْوَرَح سَ سْوَرْگَپرِتھِوْیوریکادھِپَتِح سَنْ کَرَنِرْمِّتَمَنْدِریشُ نَ نِوَسَتِ؛ | 24 |
The God who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples built by hands,
| سَ ایوَ سَرْوّیبھْیو جِیوَنَں پْرانانْ سَرْوَّسامَگْرِیشْچَ پْرَدَداتِ؛ اَتَایوَ سَ کَسْیاشْچِتْ سامَگْیْرا اَبھاوَہیتو رْمَنُشْیاناں ہَسْتَیح سیوِتو بھَوَتِیتِ نَ۔ | 25 |
neither is He cared for by men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself has always given life and breath to all.
| سَ بھُومَنْڈَلے نِواسارْتھَمْ ایکَسْماتْ شونِتاتْ سَرْوّانْ مَنُشْیانْ سرِشْٹْوا تیشاں پُورْوَّنِرُوپِتَسَمَیَں وَسَتِسِیمانْچَ نِرَچِنوتْ؛ | 26 |
And from one blood He made every ethnic nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
| تَسْماتْ لوکَیح کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ مرِگَیِتْوا پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ تَتْوَں پْراپْتُں تَسْیَ گَویشَنَں کَرَنِییَمْ۔ | 27 |
so that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
| کِنْتُ سوسْماکَں کَسْماچِّدَپِ دُورے تِشْٹھَتِیتِ نَہِ، وَیَں تینَ نِشْوَسَنَپْرَشْوَسَنَگَمَناگَمَنَپْرانَدھارَنانِ کُرْمَّح، پُنَشْچَ یُشْماکَمیوَ کَتِپَیاح کَوَیَح کَتھَیَنْتِ ‘تَسْیَ وَںشا وَیَں سْمو ہِ’ اِتِ۔ | 28 |
because in Him we live and move and have our being. As also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
| اَتَایوَ یَدِ وَیَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ وَںشا بھَوامَسْتَرْہِ مَنُشْیَے رْوِدْیَیا کَوشَلینَ چَ تَکْشِتَں سْوَرْنَں رُوپْیَں درِشَدْ وَیتیشامِیشْوَرَتْوَمْ اَسْمابھِ رْنَ جْناتَوْیَں۔ | 29 |
Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone—something shaped by human skill and imagination.
| تیشاں پُورْوِّییَلوکانامْ اَجْنانَتاں پْرَتِیشْوَرو یَدْیَپِ ناوادھَتَّ تَتھاپِیدانِیں سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوّانْ مَنَح پَرِوَرْتَّیِتُمْ آجْناپَیَتِ، | 30 |
Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent,
| یَتَح سْوَنِیُکْتینَ پُرُشینَ یَدا سَ پرِتھِوِیسْتھاناں سَرْوَّلوکاناں وِچارَں کَرِشْیَتِ تَدِّنَں نْیَرُوپَیَتْ؛ تَسْیَ شْمَشانوتّھاپَنینَ تَسْمِنْ سَرْوّیبھْیَح پْرَمانَں پْراداتْ۔ | 31 |
because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
| تَدا شْمَشانادْ اُتّھانَسْیَ کَتھاں شْرُتْوا کیچِدْ اُپاہَمَنْ، کیچِدَوَدَنْ ایناں کَتھاں پُنَرَپِ تْوَتَّح شْروشْیامَح۔ | 32 |
Well when they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some started scoffing, while others said, “We will hear you again about this.”
| تَتَح پَولَسْتیشاں سَمِیپاتْ پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ | 33 |
And with that Paul went out from among them.
| تَتھاپِ کیچِلّوکاسْتینَ سارْدّھَں مِلِتْوا وْیَشْوَسَنْ تیشاں مَدھْیے رییَپاگِییَدِیَنُسِیو دامارِیناما کاچِنّارِی کِیَنْتو نَراشْچاسَنْ۔ | 34 |
However some men believed and joined him, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, also a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
