پْریرِتاح 28

1 اِتّھَں سَرْوّیشُ رَکْشاں پْراپْتیشُ تَتْرَتْیوپَدْوِیپَسْیَ نامَ مِلِیتیتِ تے جْناتَوَنْتَح۔

Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.

2 اَسَبھْیَلوکا یَتھیشْٹَمْ اَنُکَمْپاں کرِتْوا وَرْتَّمانَورِشْٹیح شِیتاچَّ وَہْنِں پْرَجّوالْیاسْماکَمْ آتِتھْیَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ۔

The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.

3 کِنْتُ پَولَ اِنْدھَنانِ سَںگرِہْیَ یَدا تَسْمِنْ اَگْرَو نِرَکْشِپَتْ، تَدا وَہْنیح پْرَتاپاتْ ایکَح کرِشْنَسَرْپو نِرْگَتْیَ تَسْیَ ہَسْتے دْرَشْٹَوانْ۔

Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his hand.

4 تےسَبھْیَلوکاسْتَسْیَ ہَسْتے سَرْپَمْ اَوَلَمْبَمانَں درِشْٹْوا پَرَسْپَرَمْ اُکْتَوَنْتَ ایشَ جَنووَشْیَں نَرَہا بھَوِشْیَتِ، یَتو یَدْیَپِ جَلَدھے رَکْشاں پْراپْتَوانْ تَتھاپِ پْرَتِپھَلَدایَکَ اینَں جِیوِتُں نَ دَداتِ۔

When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."

5 کِنْتُ سَ ہَسْتَں وِدھُنْوَنْ تَں سَرْپَمْ اَگْنِمَدھْیے نِکْشِپْیَ کامَپِ پِیڈاں ناپْتَوانْ۔

He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.

6 تَتو وِشَجْوالَیا ایتَسْیَ شَرِیرَں سْپھِیتَں بھَوِشْیَتِ یَدْوا ہَٹھادَیَں پْرانانْ تْیَکْشْیَتِیتِ نِشْچِتْیَ لوکا بَہُکْشَنانِ یاوَتْ تَدْ دْرَشْٹُں سْتھِتَوَنْتَح کِنْتُ تَسْیَ کَسْیاشْچِدْ وِپَدوگھَٹَناتْ تے تَدْوِپَرِیتَں وِجْنایَ بھاشِتَوَنْتَ ایشَ کَشْچِدْ دیوو بھَویتْ۔

They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

7 پُبْلِیَناما جَنَ ایکَسْتَسْیوپَدْوِیپَسْیادھِپَتِراسِیتْ تَتْرَ تَسْیَ بھُومْیادِ چَ سْتھِتَں۔ سَ جَنوسْمانْ نِجَگرِہَں نِیتْوا سَوجَنْیَں پْرَکاشْیَ دِنَتْرَیَں یاوَدْ اَسْماکَں آتِتھْیَمْ اَکَروتْ۔

Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.

8 تَدا تَسْیَ پُبْلِیَسْیَ پِتا جْوَراتِسارینَ پِیڈْیَمانَح سَنْ شَیّایامْ آسِیتْ؛ تَتَح پَولَسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپَں گَتْوا پْرارْتھَناں کرِتْوا تَسْیَ گاتْرے ہَسْتَں سَمَرْپْیَ تَں سْوَسْتھَں کرِتَوانْ۔

It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.

9 اِتّھَں بھُوتے تَدْوِیپَنِواسِنَ اِتَریپِ روگِلوکا آگَتْیَ نِرامَیا اَبھَوَنْ۔

After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.

10 تَسْماتّےسْماکَمْ اَتِیوَ سَتْکارَں کرِتَوَنْتَح، وِشیشَتَح پْرَسْتھانَسَمَیے پْرَیوجَنِییانِ نانَدْرَوْیانِ دَتَّوَنْتَح۔

They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.

11 اِتّھَں تَتْرَ تْرِشُ ماسیشُ گَتیشُ یَسْیَ چِہْنَں دِیَسْکُورِی تادرِشَ ایکَح سِکَنْدَرِییَنَگَرَسْیَ پوتَح شِیتَکالَں یاپَیَنْ تَسْمِنْ اُپَدْوِیپے تِشْٹھَتْ تَمیوَ پوتَں وَیَمْ آرُہْیَ یاتْرامْ اَکُرْمَّ۔

Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.

12 تَتَح پْرَتھَمَتَح سُراکُوسَنَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تَتْرَ تْرِینِ دِنانِ سْتھِتَوَنْتَح۔

At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.

13 تَسْمادْ آورِتْیَ رِیگِیَنَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھِتاح دِنَیکَسْماتْ پَرَں دَکْشِنَوَیَو سانُکُولْیے سَتِ پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے پَتِیَلِینَگَرَمْ اُپاتِشْٹھامَ۔

From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.

14 تَتوسْماسُ تَتْرَتْیَں بھْراترِگَنَں پْراپْتیشُ تے سْوَیح سارْدّھَمْ اَسْمانْ سَپْتَ دِنانِ سْتھاپَیِتُمْ اَیَتَنْتَ، اِتّھَں وَیَں رومانَگَرَمْ پْرَتْیَگَچّھامَ۔

Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.

15 تَسْماتْ تَتْرَتْیاح بھْراتَروسْماکَمْ آگَمَنَوارْتّاں شْرُتْوا آپِّیَپھَرَں تْرِشْٹاوَرْنِینْچَ یاوَدْ اَگْریسَراح سَنْتوسْمانْ ساکْشاتْ کَرْتُّمْ آگَمَنْ؛ تیشاں دَرْشَناتْ پَولَ اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں وَدَنْ آشْواسَمْ آپْتَوانْ۔

Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.

16 اَسْماسُ رومانَگَرَں گَتیشُ شَتَسیناپَتِح سَرْوّانْ بَنْدِینْ پْرَدھانَسیناپَتیح سَمِیپے سَمارْپَیَتْ کِنْتُ پَولایَ سْوَرَکْشَکَپَداتِنا سَہَ پرِتھَگْ وَسْتُمْ اَنُمَتِں دَتَّوانْ۔

Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.

17 دِنَتْرَیاتْ پَرَں پَولَسْتَدّیشَسْتھانْ پْرَدھانَیِہُودِنَ آہُوتَوانْ تَتَسْتیشُ سَمُپَسْتھِتیشُ سَ کَتھِتَوانْ، ہے بھْراترِگَنَ نِجَلوکاناں پُورْوَّپُرُشاناں وا رِیتے رْوِپَرِیتَں کِنْچَنَ کَرْمّاہَں ناکَرَوَں تَتھاپِ یِرُوشالَمَنِواسِنو لوکا ماں بَنْدِں کرِتْوا رومِلوکاناں ہَسْتیشُ سَمَرْپِتَوَنْتَح۔

After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.

18 رومِلوکا وِچارْیَّ مَمَ پْرانَہَنَنارْہَں کِمَپِ کارَنَں نَ پْراپْیَ ماں موچَیِتُمْ اَیچّھَنْ؛

They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.

19 کِنْتُ یِہُودِلوکانامْ آپَتّیا مَیا کَیسَرَراجَسْیَ سَمِیپے وِچارَسْیَ پْرارْتھَنا کَرْتَّوْیا جاتا نوچیتْ نِجَدیشِییَلوکانْ پْرَتِ مَمَ کوپْیَبھِیوگو ناسْتِ۔

But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.

20 ایتَتْکارَنادْ اَہَں یُشْمانْ دْرَشْٹُں سَںلَپِتُنْچاہُویَمْ اِسْراییلْوَشِییاناں پْرَتْیاشاہیتوہَمْ ایتینَ شُنْکھَلینَ بَدّھوبھَوَمْ۔

For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."

21 تَدا تے تَمْ اَوادِشُح، یِہُودِییَدیشادْ وَیَں تْوامَدھِ کِمَپِ پَتْرَں نَ پْراپْتا یے بھْراتَرَح سَمایاتاسْتیشاں کوپِ تَوَ کامَپِ وارْتّاں ناوَدَتْ اَبھَدْرَمَپِ ناکَتھَیَچَّ۔

"For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.

22 تَوَ مَتَں کِمِتِ وَیَں تْوَتَّح شْروتُمِچّھامَح۔ یَدْ اِدَں نَوِینَں مَتَمُتّھِتَں تَتْ سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوّیشاں نِکَٹے نِنْدِتَں جاتَمَ اِتِ وَیَں جانِیمَح۔

But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."

23 تَیسْتَدَرْتھَمْ ایکَسْمِنْ دِنے نِرُوپِتے تَسْمِنْ دِنے بَہَوَ ایکَتْرَ مِلِتْوا پَولَسْیَ واسَگرِہَمْ آگَچّھَنْ تَسْماتْ پَولَ آ پْراتَحکالاتْ سَنْدھْیاکالَں یاوَنْ مُوساوْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھادْ بھَوِشْیَدْوادِناں گْرَنْتھیبھْیَشْچَ یِیشوح کَتھامْ اُتّھاپْیَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیے پْرَمانَں دَتْوا تیشاں پْرَورِتِّں جَنَیِتُں چیشْٹِتَوانْ۔

So they arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.

24 کیچِتُّ تَسْیَ کَتھاں پْرَتْیایَنْ کیچِتُّ نَ پْرَتْیایَنْ؛

Some were convinced; others refused to believe.

25 ایتَتْکارَناتْ تیشاں پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَنَیکْیاتْ سَرْوّے چَلِتَوَنْتَح؛ تَتھاپِ پَولَ ایتاں کَتھامیکاں کَتھِتَوانْ پَوِتْرَ آتْما یِشَیِیَسْیَ بھَوِشْیَدْوَکْتُ رْوَدَنادْ اَسْماکَں پِترِپُرُشیبھْیَ ایتاں کَتھاں بھَدْرَں کَتھَیاماسَ، یَتھا،

Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:

26 "اُپَگَتْیَ جَنانیتانْ تْوَں بھاشَسْوَ وَچَسْتْوِدَں۔ کَرْنَیح شْروشْیَتھَ یُویَں ہِ کِنْتُ یُویَں نَ بھوتْسْیَتھَ۔ نیتْرَے رْدْرَکْشْیَتھَ یُویَنْچَ جْناتُں یُویَں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ۔

"'Go to this people and tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.

27 تے مانُشا یَتھا نیتْرَیح پَرِپَشْیَنْتِ نَیوَ ہِ۔ کَرْنَیح رْیَتھا نَ شرِنْوَنْتِ بُدھْیَنْتے نَ چَ مانَسَیح۔ وْیاوَرْتَّیَتْسُ چِتّانِ کالے کُتْراپِ تیشُ وَے۔ مَتَّسْتے مَنُجاح سْوَسْتھا یَتھا نَیوَ بھَوَنْتِ چَ۔ تَتھا تیشاں مَنُشْیاناں سَنْتِ سْتھُولا ہِ بُدّھَیَح۔ بَدھِرِیبھُوتَکَرْناشْچَ جاتاشْچَ مُدْرِتا درِشَح۔۔

For this people's mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'

28 اَتَ اِیشْوَرادْ یَتْ پَرِتْرانَں تَسْیَ وارْتّا بھِنَّدیشِییاناں سَمِیپَں پْریشِتا تَایوَ تاں گْرَہِیشْیَنْتِیتِ یُویَں جانِیتَ۔

"Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."

29 ایتادرِشْیاں کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں سَتْیاں یِہُودِنَح پَرَسْپَرَں بَہُوِچارَں کُرْوَّنْتو گَتَوَنْتَح۔

After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.

31 نِرْوِگھْنَمْ اَتِشَیَنِحکْشوبھَمْ اِیشْوَرِییَراجَتْوَسْیَ کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَنْ پْرَبھَو یِیشَو کھْرِیشْٹے کَتھاح سَمُپادِشَتْ۔ اِتِ۔۔

He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
