Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
| سْتْرِیَں پُرُشَنْچَ تَنْمَتَگْراہِنَں یَں کَنْچِتْ پَشْیَتِ تانْ دھرِتْوا بَدّھوا یِرُوشالَمَمْ آنَیَتِیتْیاشَیینَ دَمّیشَکْنَگَرِییَں دھَرْمَّسَماجانْ پْرَتِ پَتْرَں یاچِتَوانْ۔ | 2 |
and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
| گَچّھَنْ تُ دَمّیشَکْنَگَرَنِکَٹَ اُپَسْتھِتَوانْ؛ تَتوکَسْمادْ آکاشاتْ تَسْیَ چَتُرْدِکْشُ تیجَسَح پْرَکاشَناتْ سَ بھُوماوَپَتَتْ۔ | 3 |
As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
| پَشْچاتْ ہے شَولَ ہے شَولَ کُتو ماں تاڈَیَسِ؟ سْوَں پْرَتِ پْروکْتَمْ ایتَں شَبْدَں شْرُتْوا | 4 |
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
| سَ پرِشْٹَوانْ، ہے پْرَبھو بھَوانْ کَح؟ تَدا پْرَبھُرَکَتھَیَتْ یَں یِیشُں تْوَں تاڈَیَسِ سَ ایواہَں؛ کَنْٹَکَسْیَ مُکھے پَداگھاتَکَرَنَں تَوَ کَشْٹَمْ۔ | 5 |
“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
| تَدا کَمْپَمانو وِسْمَیاپَنَّشْچَ سووَدَتْ ہے پْرَبھو مَیا کِں کَرْتَّوْیَں؟ بھَوَتَ اِچّھا کا؟ تَتَح پْرَبھُراجْناپَیَدْ اُتّھایَ نَگَرَں گَچّھَ تَتْرَ تْوَیا یَتْ کَرْتَّوْیَں تَدْ وَدِشْیَتے۔ | 6 |
“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
| تَسْیَ سَنْگِنو لوکا اَپِ تَں شَبْدَں شْرُتَوَنْتَح کِنْتُ کَمَپِ نَ درِشْٹْوا سْتَبْدھاح سَنْتَح سْتھِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 7 |
The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
| اَنَنْتَرَں شَولو بھُومِتَ اُتّھایَ چَکْشُشِی اُنْمِیلْیَ کَمَپِ نَ درِشْٹَوانْ۔ تَدا لوکاسْتَسْیَ ہَسْتَو دھرِتْوا دَمّیشَکْنَگَرَمْ آنَیَنْ۔ | 8 |
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
| تَتَح سَ دِنَتْرَیَں یاوَدْ اَنْدھو بھُوتْوا نَ بھُکْتَوانْ پِیتَواںشْچَ۔ | 9 |
For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
| تَدَنَنْتَرَں پْرَبھُسْتَدَّمّیشَکْنَگَرَواسِنَ ایکَسْمَے شِشْیایَ دَرْشَنَں دَتْوا آہُوتَوانْ ہے اَنَنِیَ۔ تَتَح سَ پْرَتْیَوادِیتْ، ہے پْرَبھو پَشْیَ شرِنومِ۔ | 10 |
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
| تَدا پْرَبھُسْتَماجْناپَیَتْ تْوَمُتّھایَ سَرَلَنامانَں مارْگَں گَتْوا یِہُودانِویشَنے تارْشَنَگَرِییَں شَولَنامانَں جَنَں گَویشَیَنْ پرِچّھَ؛ | 11 |
“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
| پَشْیَ سَ پْرارْتھَیَتے، تَتھا اَنَنِیَنامَکَ ایکو جَنَسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَتْیَ تَسْیَ گاتْرے ہَسْتارْپَنَں کرِتْوا درِشْٹِں دَداتِیتّھَں سْوَپْنے درِشْٹَوانْ۔ | 12 |
In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
| تَسْمادْ اَنَنِیَح پْرَتْیَوَدَتْ ہے پْرَبھو یِرُوشالَمِ پَوِتْرَلوکانْ پْرَتِ سونیکَہِںساں کرِتَوانْ؛ | 13 |
But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
| اَتْرَ سْتھانے چَ یے لوکاسْتَوَ نامْنِ پْرارْتھَیَنْتِ تانَپِ بَدّھُں سَ پْرَدھانَیاجَکیبھْیَح شَکْتِں پْراپْتَوانْ، اِماں کَتھامْ اَہَمْ اَنیکیشاں مُکھیبھْیَح شْرُتَوانْ۔ | 14 |
And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
| کِنْتُ پْرَبھُرَکَتھَیَتْ، یاہِ بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکاناں بھُوپَتِینامْ اِسْراییلّوکانانْچَ نِکَٹے مَمَ نامَ پْرَچارَیِتُں سَ جَنو مَمَ مَنونِیتَپاتْرَماسْتے۔ | 15 |
“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
| مَمَ نامَنِمِتَّنْچَ تینَ کِیانْ مَہانْ کْلیشو بھوکْتَوْیَ ایتَتْ تَں دَرْشَیِشْیامِ۔ | 16 |
I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
| تَتو نَنِیو گَتْوا گرِہَں پْرَوِشْیَ تَسْیَ گاتْرے ہَسْتارْپْرَنَں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ، ہے بھْراتَح شَولَ تْوَں یَتھا درِشْٹِں پْراپْنوشِ پَوِتْریناتْمَنا پَرِپُورْنو بھَوَسِ چَ، تَدَرْتھَں تَواگَمَنَکالے یَح پْرَبھُیِیشُسْتُبھْیَں دَرْشَنَمْ اَدَداتْ سَ ماں پْریشِتَوانْ۔ | 17 |
So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
| اِتْیُکْتَماتْرے تَسْیَ چَکْشُرْبھْیامْ مِینَشَلْکَوَدْ وَسْتُنِ نِرْگَتے تَتْکْشَناتْ سَ پْرَسَنَّچَکْشُ رْبھُوتْوا پْروتّھایَ مَجِّتوبھَوَتْ بھُکْتْوا پِیتْوا سَبَلوبھَوَچَّ۔ | 18 |
At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
| تَتَح پَرَں شَولَح شِشْیَیح سَہَ کَتِپَیَدِوَسانْ تَسْمِنْ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرے سْتھِتْواوِلَمْبَں | 19 |
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
| سَرْوَّبھَجَنَبھَوَنانِ گَتْوا یِیشُرِیشْوَرَسْیَ پُتْرَ اِماں کَتھاں پْراچارَیَتْ۔ | 20 |
Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
| تَسْماتْ سَرْوّے شْروتارَشْچَمَتْکرِتْیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتو یو یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَ ایتَنّامْنا پْرارْتھَیِترِلوکانْ وِناشِتَوانْ ایوَمْ ایتادرِشَلوکانْ بَدّھوا پْرَدھانَیاجَکَنِکَٹَں نَیَتِیتْیاشَیا ایتَتْسْتھانَمَپْیاگَچّھَتْ سَایوَ کِمَیَں نَ بھَوَتِ؟ | 21 |
All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
| کِنْتُ شَولَح کْرَمَشَ اُتْساہَوانْ بھُوتْوا یِیشُرِیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتو جَنَ ایتَسْمِنْ پْرَمانَں دَتْوا دَمّیشَکْ-نِواسِیِہُودِییَلوکانْ نِرُتَّرانْ اَکَروتْ۔ | 22 |
But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
| اِتّھَں بَہُتِتھے کالے گَتے یِہُودِییَلوکاسْتَں ہَنْتُں مَنْتْرَیاماسُح | 23 |
After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
| کِنْتُ شَولَسْتیشامیتَسْیا مَنْتْرَنایا وارْتّاں پْراپْتَوانْ۔ تے تَں ہَنْتُں تُ دِوانِشَں گُپْتاح سَنْتو نَگَرَسْیَ دْوارےتِشْٹھَنْ؛ | 24 |
but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
| تَسْماتْ شِشْیاسْتَں نِیتْوا راتْرَو پِٹَکے نِدھایَ پْراچِیریناواروہَیَنْ۔ | 25 |
One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
| تَتَح پَرَں شَولو یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْوا شِشْیَگَنینَ سارْدّھَں سْتھاتُمْ اَیہَتْ، کِنْتُ سَرْوّے تَسْمادَبِبھَیُح سَ شِشْیَ اِتِ چَ نَ پْرَتْیَیَنْ۔ | 26 |
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
| ایتَسْمادْ بَرْنَبّاسْتَں گرِہِیتْوا پْریرِتاناں سَمِیپَمانِییَ مارْگَمَدھْیے پْرَبھُح کَتھَں تَسْمَے دَرْشَنَں دَتَّوانْ یاح کَتھاشْچَ کَتھِتَوانْ سَ چَ یَتھاکْشوبھَح سَنْ دَمّیشَکْنَگَرے یِیشو رْنامَ پْراچارَیَتْ ایتانْ سَرْوَّورِتّانْتانْ تانْ جْناپِتَوانْ۔ | 27 |
Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
| تَتَح شَولَسْتَیح سَہَ یِرُوشالَمِ کالَں یاپَیَنْ نِرْبھَیَں پْرَبھو رْیِیشو رْنامَ پْراچارَیَتْ۔ | 28 |
So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
| تَسْمادْ اَنْیَدیشِییَلوکَیح سارْدّھَں وِوادَسْیوپَسْتھِتَتْواتْ تے تَں ہَنْتُمْ اَچیشْٹَنْتَ۔ | 29 |
He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
| کِنْتُ بھْراترِگَنَسْتَجّناتْوا تَں کَیسَرِیانَگَرَں نِیتْوا تارْشَنَگَرَں پْریشِتَوانْ۔ | 30 |
When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
| اِتّھَں سَتِ یِہُودِیاگالِیلْشومِرونَدیشِییاح سَرْوّا مَنْڈَلْیو وِشْرامَں پْراپْتاسْتَتَسْتاساں نِشْٹھابھَوَتْ پْرَبھو رْبھِیا پَوِتْرَسْیاتْمَنَح سانْتْوَنَیا چَ کالَں کْشیپَیِتْوا بَہُسَںکھْیا اَبھَوَنْ۔ | 31 |
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
| تَتَح پَرَں پِتَرَح سْتھانے سْتھانے بھْرَمِتْوا شیشے لودْنَگَرَنِواسِپَوِتْرَلوکاناں سَمِیپے سْتھِتَوانْ۔ | 32 |
As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
| تَدا تَتْرَ پَکْشاگھاتَوْیادھِناشْٹَو وَتْسَرانْ شَیّاگَتَمْ اَینییَنامانَں مَنُشْیَں ساکْشَتْ پْراپْیَ تَمَوَدَتْ، | 33 |
There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
| ہے اَینییَ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْتْواں سْوَسْتھَمْ اَکارْشِیتْ، تْوَمُتّھایَ سْوَشَیّاں نِکْشِپَ، اِتْیُکْتَماتْرے سَ اُدَتِشْٹھَتْ۔ | 34 |
“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
| ایتادرِشَں درِشْٹْوا لودْشارونَنِواسِنو لوکاح پْرَبھُں پْرَتِ پَراوَرْتَّنْتَ۔ | 35 |
and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
| اَپَرَنْچَ بھِکْشادانادِشُ نانَکْرِیاسُ نِتْیَں پْرَورِتّا یا یاپھونَگَرَنِواسِنِی ٹابِتھاناما شِشْیا یاں دَرْکّاں اَرْتھادْ ہَرِنِیمَیُکْتْوا آہْوَیَنْ سا نارِی | 36 |
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
| تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے رُگْنا سَتِی پْرانانْ اَتْیَجَتْ، تَتو لوکاسْتاں پْرَکْشالْیوپَرِسْتھَپْرَکوشْٹھے شایَیِتْواسْتھاپَیَنْ۔ | 37 |
At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
| لودْنَگَرَں یاپھونَگَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَسْتھَں تَسْماتَّتْرَ پِتَرَ آسْتے، اِتِ وارْتّاں شْرُتْوا تُورْنَں تَسْیاگَمَنارْتھَں تَسْمِنْ وِنَیَمُکْتْوا شِشْیَگَنو دْوَو مَنُجَو پْریشِتَوانْ۔ | 38 |
Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
| تَسْماتْ پِتَرَ اُتّھایَ تابھْیاں سارْدّھَمْ آگَچّھَتْ، تَتْرَ تَسْمِنْ اُپَسْتھِتَ اُپَرِسْتھَپْرَکوشْٹھَں سَمانِیتے چَ وِدھَواح سْوابھِح سَہَ سْتھِتِکالے دَرْکَّیا کرِتانِ یانْیُتَّرِییانِ پَرِدھییانِ چَ تانِ سَرْوّانِ تَں دَرْشَیِتْوا رُدَتْیَشْچَتَسرِشُ دِکْشْوَتِشْٹھَنْ۔ | 39 |
So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
| کِنْتُ پِتَرَسْتاح سَرْوّا بَہِح کرِتْوا جانُنِی پاتَیِتْوا پْرارْتھِتَوانْ؛ پَشْچاتْ شَوَں پْرَتِ درِشْٹِں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ، ہے ٹابِیتھے تْوَمُتِّشْٹھَ، اِتِ واکْیَ اُکْتے سا سْتْرِی چَکْشُشِی پْرونْمِیلْیَ پِتَرَمْ اَوَلوکْیوتّھایوپاوِشَتْ۔ | 40 |
Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
| تَتَح پِتَرَسْتَسْیاح کَرَو دھرِتْوا اُتّولْیَ پَوِتْرَلوکانْ وِدھَواشْچاہُویَ تیشاں نِکَٹے سَجِیواں تاں سَمارْپَیَتْ۔ | 41 |
Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
| ایشا کَتھا سَمَسْتَیاپھونَگَرَں وْیاپْتا تَسْمادْ اَنیکے لوکاح پْرَبھَو وْیَشْوَسَنْ۔ | 42 |
This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
| اَپَرَنْچَ پِتَرَسْتَدْیاپھونَگَرِییَسْیَ کَسْیَچِتْ شِمونّامْنَشْچَرْمَّکارَسْیَ گرِہے بَہُدِنانِ نْیَوَسَتْ۔ | 43 |
And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
