پْریرِتاح 5
| تَدا اَنانِیَنامَکَ ایکو جَنو یَسْیَ بھارْیّایا نامَ سَپھِیرا سَ سْوادھِکارَں وِکْرِییَ | 1 |
There was a man of the name of Ananias who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property but,
| سْوَبھارْیّاں جْناپَیِتْوا تَنْمُولْیَسْیَیکاںشَں سَنْگوپْیَ سْتھاپَیِتْوا تَدَنْیاںشَماتْرَمانِییَ پْریرِتاناں چَرَنیشُ سَمَرْپِتَوانْ۔ | 2 |
with her full knowledge and consent, dishonestly kept back part of the price which he received for it, though he brought the rest and gave it to the Apostles.
| تَسْماتْ پِتَروکَتھَیَتْ ہے اَنانِیَ بھُومے رْمُولْیَں کِنْچِتْ سَنْگوپْیَ سْتھاپَیِتُں پَوِتْرَسْیاتْمَنَح سَنِّدھَو مرِشاواکْیَں کَتھَیِتُنْچَ شَیتانْ کُتَسْتَوانْتَحکَرَنے پْرَورِتِّمَجَنَیَتْ؟ | 3 |
"Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan taken possession of your heart, that you should try to deceive the Holy Spirit and dishonestly keep back part of the price paid you for this 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 remained unsold, was not the land your own? And when sold, was it not at your own disposal? How is it that you have cherished this design in your heart? It is not to men you have told this lie, but to God."
| ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوَیوَ سونانِیو بھُومَو پَتَنْ پْرانانْ اَتْیَجَتْ، تَدْورِتّانْتَں یاوَنْتو لوکا اَشرِنْوَنْ تیشاں سَرْوّیشاں مَہابھَیَمْ اَجایَتْ۔ | 5 |
Upon hearing these words Ananias fell down dead, and all who heard the words were awe-struck.
| تَدا یُوَلوکاسْتَں وَسْتْریناچّھادْیَ بَہِ رْنِیتْوا شْمَشانےسْتھاپَیَنْ۔ | 6 |
The younger men, however, rose, and wrapping the body up, carried it out and buried it.
| تَتَح پْرَہَرَیکانَنْتَرَں کِں ورِتَّں تَنّاوَگَتْیَ تَسْیَ بھارْیّاپِ تَتْرَ سَمُپَسْتھِتا۔ | 7 |
About three hours had passed, when his wife came in, knowing nothing of what had happened.
| تَتَح پِتَرَسْتامْ اَپرِچّھَتْ، یُوابھْیامْ ایتاوَنْمُدْرابھْیو بھُومِ رْوِکْرِیتا نَ وا؟ ایتَتْوَں وَدَ؛ تَدا سا پْرَتْیَوادِیتْ سَتْیَمْ ایتاوَدْبھْیو مُدْرابھْیَ ایوَ۔ | 8 |
Peter at once questioned her. "Tell me," he said, "whether you sold the land for so much." "Yes," she replied, "for so much."
| تَتَح پِتَروکَتھَیَتْ یُواں کَتھَں پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیاتْمانَں پَرِیکْشِتُمْ ایکَمَنْتْرَناوَبھَوَتاں؟ پَشْیَ یے تَوَ پَتِں شْمَشانے سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَسْتے دْوارَسْیَ سَمِیپے سَمُپَتِشْٹھَنْتِ تْوامَپِ بَہِرْنیشْیَنْتِ۔ | 9 |
"How was it," replied Peter, "that you two agreed to try an experiment upon the Spirit of the Lord? The men who have buried your husband are already at the door, and they will carry you out."
| تَتَح ساپِ تَسْیَ چَرَنَسَنِّدھَو پَتِتْوا پْرانانْ اَتْیاکْشِیتْ۔ پَشْچاتْ تے یُوانوبھْیَنْتَرَمْ آگَتْیَ تامَپِ مرِتاں درِشْٹْوا بَہِ رْنِیتْوا تَسْیاح پَتْیُح پارْشْوے شْمَشانے سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 10 |
Instantly she fell down dead at his feet, and the young men came in and 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 |
This incident struck terror into the whole Church, and into the hearts of all who heard of it.
| تَتَح پَرَں پْریرِتاناں ہَسْتَے رْلوکاناں مَدھْیے بَہْواشْچَرْیّانْیَدْبھُتانِ کَرْمّانْیَکْرِیَنْتَ؛ تَدا شِشْیاح سَرْوَّ ایکَچِتِّیبھُویَ سُلیمانو لِنْدے سَمْبھُویاسَنْ۔ | 12 |
Many signs and marvels continued to be done among the people by the Apostles; and by common consent they all met in Solomon's Portico.
| تیشاں سَنْگھانْتَرْگو بھَوِتُں کوپِ پْرَگَلْبھَتاں ناگَمَتْ کِنْتُ لوکاسْتانْ سَمادْرِیَنْتَ۔ | 13 |
But none of the others dared to attach themselves to them. Yet the people held them in high honour--
| سْتْرِیَح پُرُشاشْچَ بَہَوو لوکا وِشْواسْیَ پْرَبھُں شَرَنَماپَنّاح۔ | 14 |
and more and more believers in the Lord joined them, including great numbers both of men and women--
| پِتَرَسْیَ گَمَناگَمَنابھْیاں کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ تَسْیَ چھایا کَسْمِںشْچِجَّنے لَگِشْیَتِیتْیاشَیا لوکا روگِنَح شِوِکَیا کھَٹْوَیا چانِییَ پَتھِ پَتھِ سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 15 |
so that they would even bring out their sick friends into the streets and lay them on light couches or mats, in order that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or other of them.
| چَتُرْدِکْسْتھَنَگَریبھْیو بَہَوو لوکاح سَمْبھُویَ روگِنوپَوِتْرَبھُتَگْرَسْتاںشْچَ یِرُوشالَمَمْ آنَیَنْ تَتَح سَرْوّے سْوَسْتھا اَکْرِیَنْتَ۔ | 16 |
The inhabitants, too, of the towns in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem came in crowds, bringing sick persons and some who were harassed by foul spirits, and they were cured, one and all.
| اَنَنْتَرَں مَہایاجَکَح سِدُوکِناں مَتَگْراہِنَسْتیشاں سَہَچَراشْچَ | 17 |
This roused the High Priest. He and all his party--the sect of the Sadducees--were filled with angry jealousy
| مَہاکْرودھانْتْوِتاح سَنْتَح پْریرِتانْ دھرِتْوا نِیچَلوکاناں کارایاں بَدّھوا سْتھاپِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 18 |
and laid hands upon the Apostles, and put them into the public jail.
| کِنْتُ راتْرَو پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَح کارایا دْوارَں موچَیِتْوا تانْ بَہِرانِییاکَتھَیَتْ، | 19 |
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
| یُویَں گَتْوا مَنْدِرے دَنْڈایَماناح سَنْتو لوکانْ پْرَتِیماں جِیوَنَدایِکاں سَرْوّاں کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَتَ۔ | 20 |
"Go and stand in the Temple, and go on proclaiming to the people all this Message of Life."
| اِتِ شْرُتْوا تے پْرَتْیُوشے مَنْدِرَ اُپَسْتھایَ اُپَدِشْٹَوَنْتَح۔ تَدا سَہَچَرَگَنینَ سَہِتو مَہایاجَکَ آگَتْیَ مَنْتْرِگَنَمْ اِسْراییلْوَںشَسْیَ سَرْوّانْ راجَسَبھاسَدَح سَبھاسْتھانْ کرِتْوا کارایاسْتانْ آپَیِتُں پَداتِگَنَں پْریرِتَوانْ۔ | 21 |
Having received that command they went into the Temple, just before daybreak, and began to teach: So when the High Priest and his party came, and had called together the Sanhedrin as well as all the Elders of the descendants of Israel, they sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
| تَتَسْتے گَتْوا کارایاں تانْ اَپْراپْیَ پْرَتْیاگَتْیَ اِتِ وارْتّامْ اَوادِشُح، | 22 |
But the officers went and could not find them in the prison. So they came back and brought word,
| وَیَں تَتْرَ گَتْوا نِرْوِّگھْنَں کارایا دْوارَں رُدّھَں رَکْشَکاںشْچَ دْوارَسْیَ بَہِرْدَنْڈایَمانانْ اَدَرْشامَ ایوَ کِنْتُ دْوارَں موچَیِتْوا تَنْمَدھْیے کَمَپِ دْرَشْٹُں نَ پْراپْتاح۔ | 23 |
saying, "The jail we found quite safely locked, and the warders were on guard at the doors, but upon going in we found no one there."
| ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا مَہایاجَکو مَنْدِرَسْیَ سیناپَتِح پْرَدھانَیاجَکاشْچَ، اِتَ پَرَں کِمَپَرَں بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ چِنْتَیِتْوا سَنْدِگْدھَچِتّا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 24 |
When the Commander of the Temple Guards and the High Priests heard this statement, they were utterly at a loss with regard to it, wondering what would happen next.
| ایتَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے کَشْچِتْ جَنَ آگَتْیَ وارْتّامیتامْ اَوَدَتْ پَشْیَتَ یُویَں یانْ مانَوانْ کارایامْ اَسْتھاپَیَتَ تے مَنْدِرے تِشْٹھَنْتو لوکانْ اُپَدِشَنْتِ۔ | 25 |
And some one came and brought them word, saying, "The men you put in prison are actually in the Temple, standing there, teaching the people."
| تَدا مَنْدِرَسْیَ سیناپَتِح پَداتَیَشْچَ تَتْرَ گَتْوا چیلّوکاح پاشانانْ نِکْشِپْیاسْمانْ مارَیَنْتِیتِ بھِیا وِنَتْیاچارَں تانْ آنَیَنْ۔ | 26 |
Upon this the Commander went with the officers, and brought the Apostles; but without using violence; for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
| تے مَہاسَبھایا مَدھْیے تانْ اَسْتھاپَیَنْ تَتَح پَرَں مَہایاجَکَسْتانْ اَپرِچّھَتْ، | 27 |
So they brought them and made them stand in front of the Sanhedrin. And then the High Priest questioned 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 strictly forbad you to teach in that name--did we not?" he said. "And see, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are trying to make us responsible for that man's death!"
| تَتَح پِتَرونْیَپْریرِتاشْچَ پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ مانُشَسْیاجْناگْرَہَنادْ اِیشْوَرَسْیاجْناگْرَہَنَمْ اَسْماکَمُچِتَمْ۔ | 29 |
Peter and the other Apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than man.
| یَں یِیشُں یُویَں کْرُشے ویدھِتْواہَتَ تَمْ اَسْماکَں پَیترِکَ اِیشْوَرَ اُتّھاپْیَ | 30 |
The God of our forefathers has raised Jesus to life, whom you crucified and put to death.
| اِسْراییلْوَںشاناں مَنَحپَرِوَرْتَّنَں پاپَکْشَمانْچَ کَرْتُّں راجانَں پَرِتْراتارَنْچَ کرِتْوا سْوَدَکْشِنَپارْشْوے تَسْیانَّتِمْ اَکَروتْ۔ | 31 |
God has exalted Him to His right hand as Chief Leader and as 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--and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him--are witnesses as to these things."
| ایتَدْواکْیے شْرُتے تیشاں ہرِدَیانِ وِدّھانْیَبھَوَنْ تَتَسْتے تانْ ہَنْتُں مَنْتْرِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 33 |
Infuriated at getting this answer, they were disposed to kill the Apostles.
| ایتَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے تَتْسَبھاسْتھاناں سَرْوَّلوکاناں مَدھْیے سُکھْیاتو گَمِلِیییلْنامَکَ ایکو جَنو وْیَوَسْتھاپَکَح پھِرُوشِلوکَ اُتّھایَ پْریرِتانْ کْشَنارْتھَں سْتھانانْتَرَں گَنْتُمْ آدِشْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ، | 34 |
But a Pharisee of the name of Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, held in honour by all the people, rose from his seat and requested that they should be sent outside the court for a few minutes.
| ہے اِسْراییلْوَںشِییاح سَرْوّے یُویَمْ ایتانْ مانُشانْ پْرَتِ یَتْ کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَتاسْتَسْمِنْ ساوَدھانا بھَوَتَ۔ | 35 |
"Israelites," he said, "be careful what you are about to do in dealing 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 |
Years ago Theudas appeared, professing to be a person of importance, and a body of men, some four hundred in number, joined him. He was killed, and all his followers were dispersed and annihilated.
| تَسْماجَّناتْ پَرَں نامَلیکھَنَسَمَیے گالِیلِییَیِہُودانامَیکو جَنَ اُپَسْتھایَ بَہُولّوکانْ سْوَمَتَں گْراہِیتَوانْ تَتَح سوپِ وْیَنَشْیَتْ تَسْیاجْناگْراہِنو یاوَنْتو لوکا آسَنْ تے سَرْوّے وِکِیرْنا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 37 |
After him, at the time of the Census, came Judas, the Galilaean, and was the leader in a revolt. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
| اَدھُنا وَدامِ، یُویَمْ ایتانْ مَنُشْیانْ پْرَتِ کِمَپِ نَ کرِتْوا کْشانْتا بھَوَتَ، یَتَ ایشَ سَنْکَلْپَ ایتَتْ کَرْمَّ چَ یَدِ مَنُشْیادَبھَوَتْ تَرْہِ وِپھَلَں بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 38 |
And now I tell you to hold aloof from these men and leave them alone--for if this scheme or work is of human origin, it will come to nothing.
| یَدِیشْوَرادَبھَوَتْ تَرْہِ یُویَں تَسْیانْیَتھا کَرْتُّں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ، وَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَرودھَکا بھَوِشْیَتھَ۔ | 39 |
But if it is really from God, you will be powerless to put them down--lest perhaps you find yourselves to be actually fighting against God."
| تَدا تَسْیَ مَنْتْرَناں سْوِیکرِتْیَ تے پْریرِتانْ آہُویَ پْرَہرِتْیَ یِیشو رْنامْنا کامَپِ کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں نِشِدھْیَ وْیَسَرْجَنْ۔ | 40 |
His advice carried conviction. So they called the Apostles in, and--after flogging them--ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then let them go.
| کِنْتُ تَسْیَ نامارْتھَں وَیَں لَجّابھوگَسْیَ یوگْیَتْوینَ گَنِتا اِتْیَتْرَ تے سانَنْداح سَنْتَح سَبھاسْتھاناں ساکْشادْ اَگَچّھَنْ۔ | 41 |
They, therefore, left the Sanhedrin and went their way, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace on behalf of the NAME.
| تَتَح پَرَں پْرَتِدِنَں مَنْدِرے گرِہے گرِہے چاوِشْرامَمْ اُپَدِشْیَ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 42 |
But they did not desist from teaching every day, in the Temple or in private houses, and telling the Good News about Jesus, the Christ.
