پْریرِتاح 8

1 تَسْیَ ہَتْیاکَرَنَں شَولوپِ سَمَمَنْیَتَ۔ تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَسْتھاں مَنْڈَلِیں پْرَتِ مَہاتاڈَنایاں جاتایاں پْریرِتَلوکانْ ہِتْوا سَرْوّےپَرے یِہُوداشومِرونَدیشَیو رْناناسْتھانے وِکِیرْناح سَنْتو گَتاح۔

And at that time there was a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

2 اَنْیَچَّ بھَکْتَلوکاسْتَں سْتِپھانَں شْمَشانے سْتھاپَیِتْوا بَہُ وْیَلَپَنْ۔

But devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

3 کِنْتُ شَولو گرِہے گرِہے بھْرَمِتْوا سْتْرِیَح پُرُشاںشْچَ دھرِتْوا کارایاں بَدّھوا مَنْڈَلْیا مَہوتْپاتَں کرِتَوانْ۔

But Saul attempted to destroy the church; entering every house, and dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison.

4 اَنْیَچَّ یے وِکِیرْنا اَبھَوَنْ تے سَرْوَّتْرَ بھْرَمِتْوا سُسَںوادَں پْراچارَیَنْ۔

Then they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the word.

5 تَدا پھِلِپَح شومِرونْنَگَرَں گَتْوا کھْرِیشْٹاکھْیانَں پْراچارَیَتْ؛

And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached the Christ to them.

6 تَتوشُچِ-بھرِتَگْرَسْتَلوکیبھْیو بھُوتاشْچِیتْکرِتْیاگَچّھَنْ تَتھا بَہَوَح پَکْشاگھاتِنَح کھَنْجا لوکاشْچَ سْوَسْتھا اَبھَوَنْ۔

And the multitudes with one mind gave heed to the things which were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.

7 تَسْماتْ لاکا اِیدرِشَں تَسْیاشْچَرْیَّں کَرْمَّ وِلوکْیَ نِشَمْیَ چَ سَرْوَّ ایکَچِتِّیبھُویَ تینوکْتاکھْیانے مَناںسِ نْیَدَدھُح۔

For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them, and many paralytics and lame persons were cured.

8 تَسْمِنَّگَرے مَہانَنْدَشْچابھَوَتْ۔

And there was great joy in that city.

9 تَتَح پُورْوَّں تَسْمِنَّگَرے شِمونّاما کَشْچِجَّنو بَہْوِی رْمایاکْرِیاح کرِتْوا سْوَں کَنْچَنَ مَہاپُرُشَں پْروچْیَ شومِرونِییاناں موہَں جَنَیاماسَ۔

But there was a certain man, named Simon, who had, before this time, been practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great one;

10 تَسْماتْ سَ مانُشَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہاشَکْتِسْوَرُوپَ اِتْیُکْتْوا بالَورِدّھَوَنِتاح سَرْوّے لاکاسْتَسْمِنْ مَناںسِ نْیَدَدھُح۔

to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God.

11 سَ بَہُکالانْ مایاوِکْرِیَیا سَرْوّانْ اَتِیوَ موہَیانْچَکارَ، تَسْماتْ تے تَں مینِرے۔

And they gave heed to him because he had, for a long time, astonished them with his magic arts.

12 کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَسْیَ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ نامْنَشْچاکھْیانَپْرَچارِنَح پھِلِپَسْیَ کَتھایاں وِشْوَسْیَ تیشاں سْتْرِیپُرُشوبھَیَلوکا مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔

But when they believed Philip, who preached the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.

13 شیشے سَ شِمونَپِ سْوَیَں پْرَتْیَیتْ تَتو مَجِّتَح سَنْ پھِلِپینَ کرِتامْ آشْچَرْیَّکْرِیاں لَکْشَنَنْچَ وِلوکْیاسَمْبھَوَں مَنْیَمانَسْتینَ سَہَ سْتھِتَوانْ۔

And Simon himself also believed; and after he was immersed, he continued with Philip; and, seeing the mighty deeds and the signs which were done, he was astonished.

14 اِتّھَں شومِرونْدیشِییَلوکا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اَگرِہْلَنْ اِتِ وارْتّاں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَسْتھَپْریرِتاح پْراپْیَ پِتَرَں یوہَنَنْچَ تیشاں نِکَٹے پْریشِتَوَنْتَح۔

Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John;

15 تَتَسْتَو تَتْ سْتھانَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ لوکا یَتھا پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَں پْراپْنُوَنْتِ تَدَرْتھَں پْرارْتھَییتاں۔

who, when they had gone down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

16 یَتَسْتے پُرا کیوَلَپْرَبھُیِیشو رْنامْنا مَجِّتَماتْرا اَبھَوَنْ، نَ تُ تیشاں مَدھْیے کَمَپِ پْرَتِ پَوِتْرَسْیاتْمَنَ آوِرْبھاوو جاتَح۔

For he had not yet fallen on any of them; only they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.

17 کِنْتُ پْریرِتابھْیاں تیشاں گاتْریشُ کَریشْوَرْپِتیشُ سَتْسُ تے پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَمْ پْراپْنُوَنْ۔

Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18 اِتّھَں لوکاناں گاتْریشُ پْریرِتَیوح کَرارْپَنینَ تانْ پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَں پْراپْتانْ درِشْٹْوا سَ شِمونْ تَیوح سَمِیپے مُدْرا آنِییَ کَتھِتَوانْ؛

And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,

19 اَہَں یَسْیَ گاتْرے ہَسْتَمْ اَرْپَیِشْیامِ تَسْیاپِ یَتھیتّھَں پَوِتْراتْمَپْراپْتِ رْبھَوَتِ تادرِشِیں شَکْتِں مَہْیَں دَتَّں۔

saying: Give me, also, this authority, that whoever I shall lay my hands on, may receive the Holy Spirit.

20 کِنْتُ پِتَرَسْتَں پْرَتْیَوَدَتْ تَوَ مُدْراسْتْوَیا وِنَشْیَنْتُ یَتَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دانَں مُدْرابھِح کْرِییَتے تْوَمِتّھَں بُدّھَوانْ؛

But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money.

21 اِیشْوَرایَ تاوَنْتَحکَرَنَں سَرَلَں نَہِ، تَسْمادْ اَتْرَ تَواںشودھِکارَشْچَ کوپِ ناسْتِ۔

You have neither part nor share in this matter; for your heart is not right in the sight of God.

22 اَتَ ایتَتْپاپَہیتوح کھیدانْوِتَح سَنْ کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ تَوَ مَنَسَ ایتَسْیاح کُکَلْپَنایاح کْشَما بھَوَتِ، ایتَدَرْتھَمْ اِیشْوَرے پْرارْتھَناں کُرُ؛

Repent, therefore, of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you.

23 یَتَسْتْوَں تِکْتَپِتّے پاپَسْیَ بَنْدھَنے چَ یَدَسِ تَنْمَیا بُدّھَمْ۔

For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.

24 تَدا شِمونْ اَکَتھَیَتْ تَرْہِ یُوابھْیامُدِتا کَتھا مَیِ یَتھا نَ پھَلَتِ تَدَرْتھَں یُواں مَنِّمِتَّں پْرَبھَو پْرارْتھَناں کُرُتَں۔

But Simon answered and said: Pray you both to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken come upon me.

25 اَنینَ پْرَکارینَ تَو ساکْشْیَں دَتّوا پْرَبھوح کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَنْتَو شومِرونِییانامْ اَنیکَگْرامیشُ سُسَںوادَنْچَ پْرَچارَیَنْتَو یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں پَراورِتْیَ گَتَو۔

Then, when they had given their testimony, and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

26 تَتَح پَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَح پھِلِپَمْ اِتْیادِشَتْ، تْوَمُتّھایَ دَکْشِنَسْیاں دِشِ یو مارْگو پْرانْتَرَسْیَ مَدھْیینَ یِرُوشالَمو سانَگَرَں یاتِ تَں مارْگَں گَچّھَ۔

And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go toward the south, to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is desert.

27 تَتَح سَ اُتّھایَ گَتَوانْ؛ تَدا کَنْداکِینامْنَح کُوشْلوکاناں راجْنْیاح سَرْوَّسَمْپَتّیرَدھِیشَح کُوشَدیشِییَ ایکَح شَنْڈو بھَجَنارْتھَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَمْ آگَتْیَ

And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,

28 پُنَرَپِ رَتھَمارُہْیَ یِشَیِیَنامْنو بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنو گْرَنْتھَں پَٹھَنْ پْرَتْیاگَچّھَتِ۔

was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah.

29 ایتَسْمِنْ سَمَیے آتْما پھِلِپَمْ اَوَدَتْ، تْوَمْ رَتھَسْیَ سَمِیپَں گَتْوا تینَ سارْدّھَں مِلَ۔

And the Spirit said to Philip: Go forward and join yourself to this chariot.

30 تَسْماتْ سَ دھاوَنْ تَسْیَ سَنِّدھاوُپَسْتھایَ تینَ پَٹھْیَمانَں یِشَیِیَتھَوِشْیَدْوادِنو واکْیَں شْرُتْوا پرِشْٹَوانْ یَتْ پَٹھَسِ تَتْ کِں بُدھْیَسے؟

And Philip ran forward, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said: Do you understand what you are reading?

31 تَتَح سَ کَتھِتَوانْ کینَچِنَّ بودھِتوہَں کَتھَں بُدھْیییَ؟ تَتَح سَ پھِلِپَں رَتھَماروڈھُں سْوینَ سارْدّھَمْ اُپَویشْٹُنْچَ نْیَویدَیَتْ۔

He answered: How can I, unless some one instruct me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32 سَ شاسْتْرَسْییتَدْواکْیَں پَٹھِتَوانْ یَتھا، سَمانِییَتَ گھاتایَ سَ یَتھا میشَشاوَکَح۔ لومَچّھیدَکَساکْشاچَّ میشَشْچَ نِیرَوو یَتھا۔ آبَدھْیَ وَدَنَں سْوِییَں تَتھا سَ سَمَتِشْٹھَتَ۔

The passage of the scripture which he was reading, was this: As a sheep for the slaughter was he led; and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so opened he not his mouth

33 اَنْیایینَ وِچارینَ سَ اُچّھِنّو بھَوَتْ تَدا۔ تَتْکالِینَمَنُشْیانْ کو جَنو وَرْنَیِتُں کْشَمَح۔ یَتو جِیوَنّرِناں دیشاتْ سَ اُچّھِنّو بھَوَتْ دھْرُوَں۔

in his humiliation. The sentence against him was taken away; but who shall describe the men of his generation? For his life was taken from the earth.

34 اَنَنْتَرَں سَ پھِلِپَمْ اَوَدَتْ نِویدَیامِ، بھَوِشْیَدْوادِی یامِماں کَتھاں کَتھَیاماسَ سَ کِں سْوَسْمِنْ وا کَسْمِںشْچِدْ اَنْیَسْمِنْ؟

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said: I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man?

35 تَتَح پھِلِپَسْتَتْپْرَکَرَنَمْ آرَبھْیَ یِیشورُپاکھْیانَں تَسْیاگْرے پْراسْتَوتْ۔

And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.

36 اِتّھَں مارْگینَ گَچّھَنْتَو جَلاشَیَسْیَ سَمِیپَ اُپَسْتھِتَو؛ تَدا کْلِیبووادِیتْ پَشْیاتْرَ سْتھانے جَلَماسْتے مَمَ مَجَّنے کا بادھا؟

And as they went along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed?

37 تَتَح پھِلِپَ اُتَّرَں وْیاہَرَتْ سْوانْتَحکَرَنینَ ساکَں یَدِ پْرَتْییشِ تَرْہِ بادھا ناسْتِ۔ تَتَح سَ کَتھِتَوانْ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پُتْرَ اِتْیَہَں پْرَتْییمِ۔

38 تَدا رَتھَں سْتھَگِتَں کَرْتُّمْ آدِشْٹے پھِلِپَکْلِیبَو دْوَو جَلَمْ اَوارُہَتاں؛ تَدا پھِلِپَسْتَمْ مَجَّیاماسَ۔

And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.

39 تَتْپَشْچاتْ جَلَمَدھْیادْ اُتّھِتَیوح سَتوح پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیاتْما پھِلِپَں ہرِتْوا نِیتَوانْ، تَسْماتْ کْلِیبَح پُنَسْتَں نَ درِشْٹَوانْ تَتھاپِ ہرِشْٹَچِتَّح سَنْ سْوَمارْگینَ گَتَوانْ۔

And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

40 پھِلِپَشْچاسْدودْنَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تَسْماتْ کَیسَرِیانَگَرَ اُپَسْتھِتِکالَپَرْیَّنَتَں سَرْوَّسْمِنَّگَرے سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارَیَنْ گَتَوانْ۔

But Philip was found at Azotus, and, passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea

The Prophet Isaiah
