1 پَنْچَبھْیو دِنیبھْیَح پَرَں ہَنانِییَناما مَہایاجَکودھِپَتیح سَمَکْشَں پَولَسْیَ پْراتِکُولْیینَ نِویدَیِتُں تَرْتُلَّنامانَں کَنْچَنَ وَکْتارَں پْراچِینَجَناںشْچَ سَنْگِنَح کرِتْوا کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ۔

And, after five days, came down the High-priest Ananias, with certain Elders and a certain orator Tertullus, and they informed the governor against Paul.

2 تَتَح پَولے سَمانِیتے سَتِ تَرْتُلَّسْتَسْیاپَوادَکَتھاں کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ ہے مَہامَہِمَپھِیلِکْشَ بھَوَتو وَیَمْ اَتِنِرْوِّگھْنَں کالَں یاپَیامو بھَوَتَح پَرِنامَدَرْشِتَیا ایتَدّیشِییاناں بَہُونِ مَنْگَلانِ گھَٹِتانِ،

And, when he was called, Tertullus began to make accusation, saying—Seeing that, great peace, we are obtaining through thee, and that, reforms, are being brought about for this nation through thy forethought,

3 اِتِ ہیتو رْوَیَمَتِکرِتَجْناح سَنْتَح سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوَّدا بھَوَتو گُنانْ گایَمَح۔

both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

4 کِنْتُ بَہُبھِح کَتھابھِ رْبھَوَنْتَں یینَ نَ وِرَنْجَیامِ تَسْمادْ وِنَیے بھَوانْ بَنُکَمْپْیَ مَدَلْپَکَتھاں شرِنوتُ۔

But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness.

5 ایشَ مَہامارِیسْوَرُوپو ناسَرَتِییَمَتَگْراہِسَںگھاتَسْیَ مُکھْیو بھُوتْوا سَرْوَّدیشیشُ سَرْوّیشاں یِہُودِییاناں راجَدْروہاچَرَنَپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیَتِیتْیَسْمابھِ رْنِشْچِتَں۔

For, finding this man a pest, and moving sedition with all the Jews that are throughout the inhabited earth, a leader also of the sect of the Nazarenes, —

6 سَ مَنْدِرَمَپِ اَشُچِ کَرْتُّں چیشْٹِتَوانْ؛ اِتِ کارَنادْ وَیَمْ اینَں دھرِتْوا سْوَوْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ وِچارَیِتُں پْراوَرْتّامَہِ؛

who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized,

7 کِنْتُ لُشِیَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِراگَتْیَ بَلادْ اَسْماکَں کَریبھْیَ اینَں گرِہِیتْوا

from whom thou shall be able, thyself, by making examination concerning all these things, to ascertain the things of which, we, are accusing him.

9 تَتو یِہُودِییا اَپِ سْوِیکرِتْیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَ ایشا کَتھا پْرَمانَمْ۔

Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, so.

10 اَدھِپَتَو کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں پَولَں پْرَتِینْگِتَں کرِتَوَتِ سَ کَتھِتَوانْ بھَوانْ بَہُونْ وَتْسَرانْ یاوَدْ ایتَدّیشَسْیَ شاسَنَں کَروتِیتِ وِجْنایَ پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُمْ اَکْشوبھوبھَوَمْ۔

And Paul answered, when the governor had motioned him to be speaking, —Well knowing thee to have been, for many years, judge unto his nation, cheerfully, as to the things concerning myself, do I make defence;

11 اَدْیَ کیوَلَں دْوادَشَ دِنانِ یاتانِ، اَہَمْ آرادھَناں کَرْتُّں یِرُوشالَمَنَگَرَں گَتَوانْ ایشا کَتھا بھَوَتا جْناتُں شَکْیَتے؛

seeing thou art able to ascertain, that there are, not more, than twelve days, since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, —

12 کِنْتْوِبھے ماں مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں کیناپِ سَہَ وِتَنْڈاں کُرْوَّنْتَں کُتْراپِ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے نَگَرے وا لوکانْ کُپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیَنْتُں نَ درِشْٹَوَنْتَح۔

and neither, in the temple, found they me, with any one, disputing, or causing, a halt, of the multitude, either in the synagogues or throughout the city, —

13 اِدانِیں یَسْمِنْ یَسْمِنْ مامْ اَپَوَدَنْتے تَسْیَ کِمَپِ پْرَمانَں داتُں نَ شَکْنُوَنْتِ۔

neither can they make good the things concerning which they are, now, accusing me.

14 کِنْتُ بھَوِشْیَدْواکْیَگْرَنْتھے وْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھے چَ یا یا کَتھا لِکھِتاسْتے تاسُ سَرْوّاسُ وِشْوَسْیَ یَنْمَتَمْ اِمے وِدھَرْمَّں جانَنْتِ تَنْمَتانُساریناہَں نِجَپِترِپُرُشانامْ اِیشْوَرَمْ آرادھَیامِیتْیَہَں بھَوَتَح سَمَکْشَمْ اَنْگِیکَرومِ۔

But I confess, this, unto thee, —That, according to the Way which they call a Sect, so, I am rendering divine service unto my father’s God, believing in all the things which, throughout the law, and those which, in the prophets, are written:

15 دھارْمِّکانامْ اَدھارْمِّکانانْچَ پْرَمِیتَلوکانامیووتّھانَں بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ کَتھامِمے سْوِیکُرْوَّنْتِ تَتھاہَمَپِ تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرے پْرَتْیاشاں کَرومِ؛

Having, hope, towards God, which, even these themselves, do entertain—that, a resurrection, there shall certainly be, both of righteous and of unrighteous:

16 اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچَ سَمِیپے یَتھا نِرْدوشو بھَوامِ تَدَرْتھَں سَتَتَں یَتْنَوانْ اَسْمِ۔

herein, even I, myself, am studying to have, an unoffending conscience, towards God and men, continually.

17 بَہُشُ وَتْسَریشُ گَتیشُ سْوَدیشِییَلوکاناں نِمِتَّں دانِییَدْرَوْیانِ نَیویدْیانِ چَ سَمادایَ پُنَراگَمَنَں کرِتَوانْ۔

Now, after many years, intending to do, alms, unto my nation, I arrived, —also [to present] offerings; among which they found me, purified in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult;

18 تَتوہَں شُچِ رْبھُوتْوا لوکاناں سَماگَمَں کَلَہَں وا نَ کارِتَوانْ تَتھاپْیاشِیادیشِییاح کِیَنْتو یِہُدِییَلوکا مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں ماں دھرِتَوَنْتَح۔

but certain Jews from Asia [caused it], —

19 مَموپَرِ یَدِ کاچِدَپَوادَکَتھاسْتِ تَرْہِ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تیشامیوَ ساکْشْیَدانَمْ اُچِتَمْ۔

who ought, before thee, to have presented themselves, and to have been laying accusation, if, anything, they might have had against me: —

20 نوچیتْ پُورْوّے مَہاسَبھاسْتھاناں لوکاناں سَنِّدھَو مَمَ دَنْڈایَمانَتْوَسَمَیے، اَہَمَدْیَ مرِتانامُتّھانے یُشْمابھِ رْوِچارِتوسْمِ،

Or, let, these themselves, say what wrong they found, when I stood before the High-council, —

21 تیشاں مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنَّہَں یامِماں کَتھامُچَّیح سْوَرینَ کَتھِتَوانْ تَدَنْیو مَمَ کوپِ دوشولَبھْیَتَ نَ ویتِ وَرَمْ ایتے سَمُپَسْتھِتَلوکا وَدَنْتُ۔

unless concerning this one voice, wherewith I cried aloud among them, as I stood—Concerning the raising of the dead, am, I, to be judged, this day, by you.

22 تَدا پھِیلِکْشَ ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا تَنْمَتَسْیَ وِشیشَورِتّانْتَں وِجْناتُں وِچارَں سْتھَگِتَں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ لُشِیے سَہَسْرَسیناپَتَو سَمایاتے سَتِ یُشْماکَں وِچارَمْ اَہَں نِشْپادَیِشْیامِ۔

And Felix deferred them, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, —saying—As soon as, Lysias the captain, hath come down, I will give judgment as to your affairs, —

23 اَنَنْتَرَں بَنْدھَنَں وِنا پَولَں رَکْشِتُں تَسْیَ سیوَنایَ ساکْشاتْکَرَنایَ وا تَدِییاتْمِییَبَنْدھُجَنانْ نَ وارَیِتُنْچَ شَمَسیناپَتِمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔

giving orders unto the centurion, that he should be kept, and have a measure of liberty, and to be hindering, none, of his own from waiting upon him.

24 اَلْپَدِناتْ پَرَں پھِیلِکْشودھِپَتِ رْدْرُشِلّانامْنا یِہُودِییَیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا سَہاگَتْیَ پَولَماہُویَ تَسْیَ مُکھاتْ کھْرِیشْٹَدھَرْمَّسْیَ ورِتّانْتَمْ اَشْرَوشِیتْ۔

And, after certain days, Felix having arrived, with Drusilla his own wife, who was, a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith, respecting Christ Jesus.

25 پَولینَ نْیایَسْیَ پَرِمِتَبھوگَسْیَ چَرَمَوِچارَسْیَ چَ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں سَتْیاں پھِیلِکْشَح کَمْپَمانَح سَنْ وْیاہَرَدْ اِدانِیں یاہِ، اَہَمْ اَوَکاشَں پْراپْیَ تْوامْ آہُوسْیامِ۔

And, as he was reasoning of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming greatly afraid, answered—For the present, be going thy way, and, when I find an opportunity, I will send for thee, —

26 مُکْتِپْرَپْتْیَرْتھَں پَولینَ مَہْیَں مُدْراداسْیَنْتے اِتِ پَتْیاشاں کرِتْوا سَ پُنَح پُنَسْتَماہُویَ تینَ ساکَں کَتھوپَکَتھَنَں کرِتَوانْ۔

at the same time, also hoping that, money, would be given him by Paul; wherefore also, the more frequently sending for him, he used to converse with him.

27 کِنْتُ وَتْسَرَدْوَیاتْ پَرَں پَرْکِیَپھِیشْٹَ پھالِکْشَسْیَ پَدَں پْراپْتے سَتِ پھِیلِکْشو یِہُودِییانْ سَنْتُشْٹانْ چِکِیرْشَنْ پَولَں بَدّھَں سَںسْتھاپْیَ گَتَوانْ۔

When, however, two years, were completed, Felix, was succeeded, by Porcius Festus, and Felix, wishing to gain favour with the Jews, left Paul bound.
