پْریرِتاح 5
| تَدا اَنانِیَنامَکَ ایکو جَنو یَسْیَ بھارْیّایا نامَ سَپھِیرا سَ سْوادھِکارَں وِکْرِییَ | 1 |
There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
| سْوَبھارْیّاں جْناپَیِتْوا تَنْمُولْیَسْیَیکاںشَں سَنْگوپْیَ سْتھاپَیِتْوا تَدَنْیاںشَماتْرَمانِییَ پْریرِتاناں چَرَنیشُ سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔ | 2 |
and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the Apostles’ feet.
| تَسْماتْ پِتَروکَتھَیَتْ ہے اَنانِیَ بھُومے رْمُولْیَں کِنْچِتْ سَنْگوپْیَ سْتھاپَیِتُں پَوِتْرَسْیاتْمَنَح سَنِّدھَو مرِشاواکْیَں کَتھَیِتُنْچَ شَیتانْ کُتَسْتَوانْتَحکَرَنے پْرَورِتِّمَجَنَیَتْ؟ | 3 |
“Ananias,” Peter exclaimed, “how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land?
| سا بھُومِ رْیَدا تَوَ ہَسْتَگَتا تَدا کِں تَوَ سْوِییا ناسِیتْ؟ تَرْہِ سْوانْتَحکَرَنے کُتَ ایتادرِشِی کُکَلْپَنا تْوَیا کرِتا؟ تْوَں کیوَلَمَنُشْیَسْیَ نِکَٹے مرِشاواکْیَں ناوادِیح کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ نِکَٹےپِ۔ | 4 |
While it was unsold, was not it your own? and after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to men, but to God!”
| ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوَیوَ سونانِیو بھُومَو پَتَنْ پْرانانْ اَتْیَجَتْ، تَدْورِتّانْتَں یاوَنْتو لوکا اَشرِنْوَنْ تیشاں سَرْوّیشاں مَہابھَیَمْ اَجایَتْ۔ | 5 |
As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and every one who heard of it was appalled.
| تَدا یُوَلوکاسْتَں وَسْتْریناچّھادْیَ بَہِ رْنِیتْوا شْمَشانےسْتھاپَیَنْ۔ | 6 |
The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
| تَتَح پْرَہَرَیکانَنْتَرَں کِں ورِتَّں تَنّاوَگَتْیَ تَسْیَ بھارْیّاپِ تَتْرَ سَمُپَسْتھِتا۔ | 7 |
After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
| تَتَح پِتَرَسْتامْ اَپرِچّھَتْ، یُوابھْیامْ ایتاوَنْمُدْرابھْیو بھُومِ رْوِکْرِیتا نَ وا؟ ایتَتْوَں وَدَ؛ تَدا سا پْرَتْیَوادِیتْ سَتْیَمْ ایتاوَدْبھْیو مُدْرابھْیَ ایوَ۔ | 8 |
“Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
| تَتَح پِتَروکَتھَیَتْ یُواں کَتھَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیاتْمانَں پَرِیکْشِتُمْ ایکَمَنْتْرَناوَبھَوَتاں؟ پَشْیَ یے تَوَ پَتِں شْمَشانے سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَسْتے دْوارَسْیَ سَمِیپے سَمُپَتِشْٹھَنْتِ تْوامَپِ بَہِرْنیشْیَنْتِ۔ | 9 |
Then Peter said: “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
| تَتَح ساپِ تَسْیَ چَرَنَسَنِّدھَو پَتِتْوا پْرانانْ اَتْیاکْشِیتْ۔ پَشْچاتْ تے یُوانوبھْیَنْتَرَمْ آگَتْیَ تامَپِ مرِتاں درِشْٹْوا بَہِ رْنِیتْوا تَسْیاح پَتْیُح پارْشْوے شْمَشانے سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 10 |
Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side.
| تَسْماتْ مَنْڈَلْیاح سَرْوّے لوکا اَنْیَلوکاشْچَ تاں وارْتّاں شْرُتْوا سادھْوَسَں گَتاح۔ | 11 |
The whole Church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
| تَتَح پَرَں پْریرِتاناں ہَسْتَے رْلوکاناں مَدھْیے بَہْواشْچَرْیّانْیَدْبھُتانِ کَرْمّانْیَکْرِیَنْتَ؛ تَدا شِشْیاح سَرْوَّ ایکَچِتِّیبھُویَ سُلیمانو لِنْدے سَمْبھُویاسَنْ۔ | 12 |
Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the Apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;
| تیشاں سَنْگھانْتَرْگو بھَوِتُں کوپِ پْرَگَلْبھَتاں ناگَمَتْ کِنْتُ لوکاسْتانْ سَمادْرِیَنْتَ۔ | 13 |
but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
| سْتْرِیَح پُرُشاشْچَ بَہَوو لوکا وِشْواسْیَ پْرَبھُں شَرَنَماپَنّاح۔ | 14 |
and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
| پِتَرَسْیَ گَمَناگَمَنابھْیاں کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ تَسْیَ چھایا کَسْمِںشْچِجَّنے لَگِشْیَتِیتْیاشَیا لوکا روگِنَح شِوِکَیا کھَٹْوَیا چانِییَ پَتھِ پَتھِ سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 15 |
The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some one of them.
| چَتُرْدِکْسْتھَنَگَریبھْیو بَہَوو لوکاح سَمْبھُویَ روگِنوپَوِتْرَبھُتَگْرَسْتاںشْچَ یِرُوشالَمَمْ آنَیَنْ تَتَح سَرْوّے سْوَسْتھا اَکْرِیَنْتَ۔ | 16 |
Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns round Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured every one.
| اَنَنْتَرَں مَہایاجَکَح سِدُوکِناں مَتَگْراہِنَسْتیشاں سَہَچَراشْچَ | 17 |
At this the High Priest was roused to action, and he and all his supporters (who formed the party of the Sadducees), moved by jealousy,
| مَہاکْرودھانْتْوِتاح سَنْتَح پْریرِتانْ دھرِتْوا نِیچَلوکاناں کارایاں بَدّھوا سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 18 |
arrested the Apostles, and had them placed in custody.
| کِنْتُ راتْرَو پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَح کارایا دْوارَں موچَیِتْوا تانْ بَہِرانِییاکَتھَیَتْ، | 19 |
An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
| یُویَں گَتْوا مَنْدِرے دَنْڈایَماناح سَنْتو لوکانْ پْرَتِیماں جِیوَنَدایِکاں سَرْوّاں کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَتَ۔ | 20 |
“Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole Message of this new Life.”
| اِتِ شْرُتْوا تے پْرَتْیُوشے مَنْدِرَ اُپَسْتھایَ اُپَدِشْٹَوَنْتَح۔ تَدا سَہَچَرَگَنینَ سَہِتو مَہایاجَکَ آگَتْیَ مَنْتْرِگَنَمْ اِسْراییلْوَںشَسْیَ سَرْوّانْ راجَسَبھاسَدَح سَبھاسْتھانْ کرِتْوا کارایاسْتانْ آپَیِتُں پَداتِگَنَں پْریرِتَوانْ۔ | 21 |
When they heard this, they went at daybreak into the Temple Courts, and began to teach. The High Priest and his party, on their arrival, summoned the High Council, including all the leading men among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
| تَتَسْتے گَتْوا کارایاں تانْ اَپْراپْیَ پْرَتْیاگَتْیَ اِتِ وارْتّامْ اَوادِشُح، | 22 |
But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
| وَیَں تَتْرَ گَتْوا نِرْوِّگھْنَں کارایا دْوارَں رُدّھَں رَکْشَکاںشْچَ دْوارَسْیَ بَہِرْدَنْڈایَمانانْ اَدَرْشامَ ایوَ کِنْتُ دْوارَں موچَیِتْوا تَنْمَدھْیے کَمَپِ دْرَشْٹُں نَ پْراپْتاح۔ | 23 |
while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found any one inside.
| ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا مَہایاجَکو مَنْدِرَسْیَ سیناپَتِح پْرَدھانَیاجَکاشْچَ، اِتَ پَرَں کِمَپَرَں بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ چِنْتَیِتْوا سَنْدِگْدھَچِتّا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 24 |
When the Officer in charge at the Temple and the Chief Priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the Apostles and as to what all this would lead to.
| ایتَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے کَشْچِتْ جَنَ آگَتْیَ وارْتّامیتامْ اَوَدَتْ پَشْیَتَ یُویَں یانْ مانَوانْ کارایامْ اَسْتھاپَیَتَ تے مَنْدِرے تِشْٹھَنْتو لوکانْ اُپَدِشَنْتِ۔ | 25 |
Presently, however, some one came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
| تَدا مَنْدِرَسْیَ سیناپَتِح پَداتَیَشْچَ تَتْرَ گَتْوا چیلّوکاح پاشانانْ نِکْشِپْیاسْمانْ مارَیَنْتِیتِ بھِیا وِنَتْیاچارَں تانْ آنَیَنْ۔ | 26 |
On this, the Officer went with his men and fetched the Apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —
| تے مَہاسَبھایا مَدھْیے تانْ اَسْتھاپَیَنْ تَتَح پَرَں مَہایاجَکَسْتانْ اَپرِچّھَتْ، | 27 |
And then brought them before the Council. The High Priest demanded an explanation from them.
| اَنینَ نامْنا سَمُپَدیشْٹُں وَیَں کِں درِڈھَں نَ نْیَشیدھامَ؟ تَتھاپِ پَشْیَتَ یُویَں سْویشاں تینوپَدیشینے یِرُوشالَمَں پَرِپُورْنَں کرِتْوا تَسْیَ جَنَسْیَ رَکْتَپاتَجَنِتاپَرادھَمْ اَسْمانْ پْرَتْیانیتُں چیشْٹَدھْوے۔ | 28 |
“We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this Name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”
| تَتَح پِتَرونْیَپْریرِتاشْچَ پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ مانُشَسْیاجْناگْرَہَنادْ اِیشْوَرَسْیاجْناگْرَہَنَمْ اَسْماکَمُچِتَمْ۔ | 29 |
To this Peter and the Apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men.
| یَں یِیشُں یُویَں کْرُشے ویدھِتْواہَتَ تَمْ اَسْماکَں پَیترِکَ اِیشْوَرَ اُتّھاپْیَ | 30 |
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
| اِسْراییلْوَںشاناں مَنَحپَرِوَرْتَّنَں پاپَکْشَمانْچَ کَرْتُّں راجانَں پَرِتْراتارَنْچَ کرِتْوا سْوَدَکْشِنَپارْشْوے تَسْیانَّتِمْ اَکَروتْ۔ | 31 |
It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a Guide and a Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
| ایتَسْمِنْ وَیَمَپِ ساکْشِنَ آسْمَہے، تَتْ کیوَلَں نَہِ، اِیشْوَرَ آجْناگْراہِبھْیو یَں پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمَنَں دَتَّوانْ سوپِ ساکْشْیَسْتِ۔ | 32 |
And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit — the gift of God to those who obey him.”
| ایتَدْواکْیے شْرُتے تیشاں ہرِدَیانِ وِدّھانْیَبھَوَنْ تَتَسْتے تانْ ہَنْتُں مَنْتْرِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 33 |
The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the Apostles to death.
| ایتَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے تَتْسَبھاسْتھاناں سَرْوَّلوکاناں مَدھْیے سُکھْیاتو گَمِلِیییلْنامَکَ ایکو جَنو وْیَوَسْتھاپَکَح پھِرُوشِلوکَ اُتّھایَ پْریرِتانْ کْشَنارْتھَں سْتھانانْتَرَں گَنْتُمْ آدِشْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ، | 34 |
But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.
| ہے اِسْراییلْوَںشِییاح سَرْوّے یُویَمْ ایتانْ مانُشانْ پْرَتِ یَتْ کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَتاسْتَسْمِنْ ساوَدھانا بھَوَتَ۔ | 35 |
He then said: “Men of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
| اِتَح پُورْوَّں تھُودانامَیکو جَنَ اُپَسْتھایَ سْوَں کَمَپِ مَہاپُرُشَمْ اَوَدَتْ، تَتَح پْرایینَ چَتُحشَتَلوکاسْتَسْیَ مَتَگْراہِنوبھَوَنْ پَشْچاتْ سَ ہَتوبھَوَتْ تَسْیاجْناگْراہِنو یاوَنْتو لوکاسْتے سَرْوّے وِرْکِیرْناح سَنْتو کرِتَکارْیّا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 36 |
For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.
| تَسْماجَّناتْ پَرَں نامَلیکھَنَسَمَیے گالِیلِییَیِہُودانامَیکو جَنَ اُپَسْتھایَ بَہُولّوکانْ سْوَمَتَں گْراہِیتَوانْ تَتَح سوپِ وْیَنَشْیَتْ تَسْیاجْناگْراہِنو یاوَنْتو لوکا آسَنْ تے سَرْوّے وِکِیرْنا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 37 |
After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; Yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed.
| اَدھُنا وَدامِ، یُویَمْ ایتانْ مَنُشْیانْ پْرَتِ کِمَپِ نَ کرِتْوا کْشانْتا بھَوَتَ، یَتَ ایشَ سَنْکَلْپَ ایتَتْ کَرْمَّ چَ یَدِ مَنُشْیادَبھَوَتْ تَرْہِ وِپھَلَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 38 |
And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
| یَدِیشْوَرادَبھَوَتْ تَرْہِ یُویَں تَسْیانْیَتھا کَرْتُّں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ، وَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَرودھَکا بھَوِشْیَتھَ۔ | 39 |
but, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them — or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!”
| تَدا تَسْیَ مَنْتْرَناں سْوِیکرِتْیَ تے پْریرِتانْ آہُویَ پْرَہرِتْیَ یِیشو رْنامْنا کامَپِ کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں نِشِدھْیَ وْیَسَرْجَنْ۔ | 40 |
The Council followed his advice, and, calling the Apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the Name of Jesus, set them free.
| کِنْتُ تَسْیَ نامارْتھَں وَیَں لَجّابھوگَسْیَ یوگْیَتْوینَ گَنِتا اِتْیَتْرَ تے سانَنْداح سَنْتَح سَبھاسْتھاناں ساکْشادْ اَگَچّھَنْ۔ | 41 |
But the Apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that Name;
| تَتَح پَرَں پْرَتِدِنَں مَنْدِرے گرِہے گرِہے چاوِشْرامَمْ اُپَدِشْیَ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 42 |
and never for a single day, either in the Temple Courts or in private houses, did they cease to teach, or to tell the Good News of Jesus, the Christ.
