आमाल 15
1 फिर कुछ लोग यहूदिया से आ कर भाइयों को यह तालीम देने लगे, “ज़रूरी है कि आप का मूसा की शरी'अत के मुताबिक़ ख़तना किया जाए, वर्ना आप नजात नहीं पा सकेंगे।”
[Then] some [Jewish] believers went down from Judea [province] to Antioch. They started teaching the [non-Jewish] believers [there, and said], “[You] ([must] be circumcised/must have God’s mark put on you) [to indicate you belong to God], as Moses [commanded] in the laws that [he received from God]. If you do not do that, you will not be saved {[God] will not save you}.”
2 पस, जब पौलुस और बरनबास की उन से बहुत तकरार और बहस हुई तो कलीसिया ने ये ठहराया कि पौलुस और बरनबास और उन में से चन्द शख़्स इस मस्ले के लिए रसूलों और बुज़ुर्गों के पास येरूशलेम जाएँ।
Paul and Barnabas strongly disagreed with those Jews and started arguing [with them. So the believers at Antioch] appointed Paul and Barnabas and some of the other believers to go to Jerusalem, in order that they would/could discuss this matter with the apostles and [other spiritual] leaders.
3 पस, कलीसिया ने उनको रवाना किया और वो ग़ैर क़ौमों को रुजू लाने का बयान करते हुए फ़ीनिके और सामरिया सूबे से गुज़रे और सब भाइयों को बहुत ख़ुश करते गए।
After Paul, Barnabas, and the others were given things for their trip by the congregation [at Antioch] {After the congregation [at Antioch] gave Paul, Barnabas, and the others things for their trip}, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria [provinces. When they stopped at different places in those provinces], they reported [to the believers] that [many] non-Jews [in Antioch] had become believers. As a result, all the believers [in those places] rejoiced greatly.
4 जब येरूशलेम में पहुँचे तो कलीसिया और रसूल और बुज़ुर्ग उन से ख़ुशी के साथ मिले। और उन्हों ने सब कुछ बयान किया जो ख़ुदा ने उनके ज़रिए किया था।
And when Paul, Barnabas, and the others arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the apostles, the [other] elders, and the [other members of the] congregation [there] {the apostles, the [other] elders, and the [other members of the] congregation [there] welcomed them}. Then Paul and Barnabas reported the things that God had enabled them to do [among non-Jewish people].
5 मगर फ़रीसियों के फ़िर्के में से जो ईमान लाए थे, उन में से कुछ ने उठ कर कहा “कि उनका ख़तना कराना और उनको मूसा की शरी'अत पर अमल करने का हुक्म देना ज़रूरी है।”
But some of the [Jewish] believers who belonged to the Pharisee sect stood up [among the other believers and] said to them, “The non-Jews [who have believed in Jesus] must be circumcised, and they must be told to obey the laws [that God gave to] Moses.”
6 पस, रसूल और बुज़ुर्ग इस बात पर ग़ौर करने के लिए जमा हुए।
Then the apostles and [the other] elders met together in order to talk about this matter.
7 और बहुत बहस के बाद पतरस ने खड़े होकर उन से कहा कि ऐ भाइयों तुम जानते हो कि बहुत अर्सा हुआ जब ख़ुदा ने तुम लोगों में से मुझे चुना कि ग़ैर क़ौमें मेरी ज़बान से ख़ुशख़बरी का कलाम सुनकर ईमान लाएँ।
After they had discussed it for a long time, Peter stood up and spoke to them. He said, “Fellow believers, you [all] know that a long time ago God chose me from among you [other apostles, in order that] the non-Jewish people might [also] hear me [SYN] tell [them] the good message [about the Lord Jesus], so that they could hear [it] and believe [in him. So Paul and Barnabas are not the first ones to tell non-Jews about Jesus].
8 और ख़ुदा ने जो दिलों को जानता है उनको भी हमारी तरह रूह — उल — क़ुद्दूस दे कर उन की गवाही दी।
God knows [and judges] people according to what they think, [not according to who their ancestors were]. By sending the Holy Spirit to [the non-Jews], just like [he had] also done for us [(inc)] Jews, he showed [me and others] that he had accepted them [also to be his people].
9 और ईमान के वसीले से उन के दिल पाक करके हम में और उन में कुछ फ़र्क़ न रख्खा।
[God] saved us [Jews] and those [non-Jews] similarly, making them clean spiritually simply as a result of their believing [in the Lord Jesus. That was exactly how he has forgiven us].
10 पस, अब तुम शागिर्दों की गर्दन पर ऐसा जुआ रख कर जिसको न हमारे बाप दादा उठा सकते थे, न हम ख़ुदा को क्यूँ आज़माते हो?
[You are wanting to force the non-Jewish believers to obey our Jewish rituals and laws]—laws that God has shown that he does not require them to obey [MET]. [Your doing that is like] putting a heavy burden on them! So then, (stop making God angry by doing that!/why are you making God angry by doing that?) [RHQ] Our ancestors and we [(inc) Jews] have never been able to bear [the burden of obeying those laws]!
11 हालाँकि हम को यक़ीन है कि जिस तरह वो ख़ुदावन्द ईसा के फ़ज़ल ही से नजात पाएँगे, उसी तरह हम भी पाएँगे।
But we [(inc) know that it is not because] we [(inc) try to obey those laws that God saves us(inc) Jews. On the contrary], we [(inc)] know that it is because of what the Lord Jesus did for us [(inc)] that we did not deserve that we [(inc)] are saved {that [God] saves us} [from the guilt of our sins. God saves non-Jews who believe in the Lord Jesus] exactly like [he saves] us Jews.”
12 फिर सारी जमा'अत चुप रही और पौलुस और बरनबास का बयान सुनने लगी, कि ख़ुदा ने उनके ज़रिए ग़ैर क़ौमों में कैसे कैसे निशान और अजीब काम ज़हिर किए।
All the people [there] became silent [after Peter had spoken]. Then they [all] listened to Barnabas and Paul, [as the two of] them told about the many great miracles that God had enabled them to do among the non-Jewish people, [miracles that showed that God had accepted the non-Jews].
13 जब वो ख़ामोश हुए तो या'क़ूब कहने लगा कि, “ऐ भाइयों मेरी सुनो!”
When Barnabas and Paul had finished speaking, James, [the leader of the group of believers there in Jerusalem], spoke to all of them. [He said], “Fellow believers, listen to me.
14 शमौन ने बयान किया कि ख़ुदा ने पहले ग़ैर क़ौमों पर किस तरह तवज्जह की ताकि उन में से अपने नाम की एक उम्मत बना ले।
Simon [Peter] has told you how God previously blessed the non-Jews. God did that by choosing from among them a people who would belong to him [MTY].
15 और नबियों की बातें भी इस के मुताबिक़ हैं। चुनाँचे लिखा है कि।
[These] words that [God spoke], words that were written by [one of] the prophets {that one of the prophets wrote} [long ago], agree with that:
16 इन बातों के बाद मैं फिर आकर दाऊद के गिरे हुए खेमों को उठाऊँगा, और उस के फ़टे टूटे की मरम्मत करके उसे खड़ा करूँगा।
Later on I will return and I will re-establish the kingdom [MET] that David [ruled] and that has been {that [people] have} destroyed. My [doing that will be like] rebuilding [a house] that has been {that [people] have} torn down.
17 ताकि बाक़ी आदमी या'नी सब क़ौमें जो मेरे नाम की कहलाती हैं ख़ुदावन्द को तलाश करें'
I will do that in order that all other people might seek [me], the Lord [God. I will do that in order that] all the non-Jews whom I have called [to belong] to me [MTY] might seek me. [You can be certain that this will happen because I] the Lord [God], who will do those things, have spoken [these words].
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
19 पस, मेरा फ़ैसला ये है, कि जो ग़ैर क़ौमों में से ख़ुदा की तरफ़ रुजू होते हैं हम उन्हें तकलीफ़ न दें।
[James continued by saying], “Therefore I have decided [that we(inc)] should stop bothering the non-Jewish people who are turning [away from their sins and turning] to God. [That is, we should stop demanding that they obey] all [our laws] and rituals.
20 मगर उन को लिख भेजें कि बुतों की मकरूहात और हरामकारी और गला घोंटे हुए जानवरों और लहू से परहेज़ करें।
Instead, we should write [a letter] to them [requiring only four things: They should] not eat [meat/food that people] have offered to idols, they should not have sex with someone to whom they are not married, they should not [eat meat from animals that have been killed by] being strangled {[people have strangled]}, and [they should not eat] the blood [of animals].
21 क्यूँकि पुराने ज़माने से हर शहर में मूसा की तौरेत का ऐलान करने वाले होते चले आए हैं: और वो हर सबत को इबादतख़ानों में सुनाई जाती हैं।
In many cities, for a very long time people have been proclaiming [the laws that] Moses [wrote] [MTY], [laws prohibiting those things]. And every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [those laws] are read {someone reads [those laws]} in the Jewish meeting places. [So if the non-Jews want to know more about those laws, they can find out in our meeting houses].”
22 इस पर रसूलों और बुज़ुर्गों ने सारी कलीसिया समेत मुनासिब जाना कि अपने में से चन्द शख़्स चुन कर पौलुस और बरनबास के साथ अन्ताकिया को भेजें, या'नी यहूदाह को जो बरसब्बा कहलाता है। और सीलास को ये शख़्स भाइयों में मुक़द्दम थे।
The apostles and the [other] elders, along with all the [other] members of the congregation, accepted [what James had said]. Then they decided that they should choose men from among themselves and that they should send them, along with Paul and Barnabas, to Antioch, to [let the believers there know what the leaders] at Jerusalem had decided. So they chose Judas, who was also called Barsabbas, and Silas, who were leaders among the believers [at Jerusalem].
23 और उनके हाथ ये लिख भेजा कि “अन्ताकिया और सूरिया और किलकिया के रहने वाले भाइयों को जो ग़ैर क़ौमों में से हैं। रसूलों और बुज़ुर्ग भाइयों का सलाम पहूँचे।”
Then they wrote the following letter [that they asked Judas and Silas to take to the believers at Antioch]: “[We(exc)] apostles and [other] leaders who are your fellow believers [send our greetings to you as we write this to you] non-Jewish believers [who live] in Antioch and [other places in] Syria and Cilicia [provinces].
24 चूँकि हम ने सुना है, कि कुछ ने हम में से जिनको हम ने हुक्म न दिया था, वहाँ जाकर तुम्हें अपनी बातों से घबरा दिया। और तुम्हारे दिलों को उलट दिया।
People have told us that some men from among us went [to you], although we had not told [them to do that]. They troubled/distressed you [SYN] [by telling you things] that confused your thinking.
25 इसलिए हम ने एक दिल होकर मुनासिब जाना कि कुछ चुने हुए आदमियों को अपने अज़ीज़ों बरनबास और पौलुस के साथ तुम्हारे पास भेजें।
So [while we(exc) met together here], we decided to choose some men and ask them to go to you, along with Barnabas and Paul, whom we [(exc)] love very much.
26 ये दोनों ऐसे आदमी हैं, जिन्होंने अपनी जानें हमारे ख़ुदावन्द ईसा मसीह के नाम पर निसार कर रख्खी हैं।
Those two have put their lives in danger because of their [serving] our Lord [MTY] Jesus Christ.
27 चुनाँचे हम ने यहूदाह और सीलास को भेजा है, वो यही बातें ज़बानी भी बयान करेंगे।
We [(exc) have also chosen] Judas and Silas to go to you. They will tell you the same things [that we are writing].
28 क्यूँकि रूह — उल — क़ुद्दूस ने और हम ने मुनासिब जाना कि इन ज़रूरी बातों के सिवा तुम पर और बोझ न डालें
The Holy Spirit and [also] we decided that you should not be required {that we should not require you} to obey a lot of burdensome [Jewish] laws. Instead, [we] only [require you to obey] the following instructions,
29 कि तुम बुतों की क़ुर्बानियों के गोश्त से और लहू और गला घोंटे हुए जानवरों और हरामकारी से परहेज़ करो। अगर तुम इन चीज़ों से अपने आप को बचाए रख्खोगे, तो सलामत रहोगे, वस्सलामत।
You should not eat food that people have sacrificed to idols. You should not eat blood from animals, and you should not eat meat from animals that people have killed by strangling them. Also, you should not have sex with someone to whom you are not married. Those things [especially offend Jewish believers. So if] you avoid doing them, you will be doing what is right. That is all.”
30 पस, वो रुख़्सत होकर अन्ताकिया में पहुँचे और जमा'अत को इकट्ठा करके ख़त दे दिया।
The [four] men whom [they] had chosen went [from Jerusalem] to Antioch [city. When] all the believers [there] had assembled together, [Judas and Silas] gave the letter to them.
31 वो पढ़ कर उसके तसल्ली बख़्श मज़्मून से ख़ुश हुए।
When the believers there read the letter, they rejoiced, [because its message] encouraged them.
32 और यहूदाह और सीलास ने जो ख़ुद भी नबी थे, भाइयों को बहुत सी नसीहत करके मज़बूत कर दिया।
[Just like Paul and Barnabas were] ([prophets/men who spoke messages from God]), Judas and Silas were also prophets. They spoke for a long time and encouraged the believers [there], and helped them to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus].
33 वो चन्द रोज़ रह कर और भाइयों से सलामती की दुआ लेकर अपने भेजने वालों के पास रुख़्सत कर दिए गए।
After [Judas and Silas] had stayed in Antioch for some time [and were ready to return to Jerusalem], the believers [there] wished them well, and the believers [prayed that God] would protect [them as they traveled. So the two men] started to go back to the leaders [in Jerusalem] who had asked them to go [to Antioch].
34 [लेकिन सीलास को वहाँ ठहरना अच्छा लगा]।
35 मगर पौलुस और बरनबास अन्ताकिया ही में रहे: और बहुत से और लोगों के साथ ख़ुदावन्द का कलाम सिखाते और उस का ऐलान करते रहे।
However, Paul and Barnabas continued to stay in Antioch. [While they were there], they, along with many others, were teaching [people] and preaching to them the message about the Lord [Jesus].
36 चन्द रोज़ बाद पौलुस ने बरनबास से कहा “कि जिन जिन शहरों में हम ने ख़ुदा का कलाम सुनाया था, आओ फिर उन में चलकर भाइयों को देखें कि कैसे हैं।”
After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit the fellow believers in every city where we [previously] proclaimed the message about the Lord [Jesus. In that way, we will know] how [well] they are continuing [to believe in the Lord Jesus].”
37 और बरनबास की सलाह थी कि यूहन्ना को जो मरकुस कहलाता है। अपने साथ ले चलें।
Barnabas [agreed with Paul, and said that he] wanted to take John, whose other name was Mark, along with them [again].
38 मगर पौलुस ने ये मुनासिब न जाना, कि जो शख़्स पम्फ़ीलिया में किनारा करके उस काम के लिए उनके साथ न गया था; उस को हमराह ले चलें।
However, Paul [told Barnabas that he] thought that it would not be good to take Mark [with them, because] Mark had deserted them when they were previously in Pamphylia [region], and had not continued to work with them.
39 पस, उन में ऐसी सख़्त तकरार हुई; कि एक दूसरे से जुदा हो गए। और बरनबास मरकुस को ले कर जहाज़ पर कुप्रुस को रवाना हुआ।
Paul and Barnabas strongly disagreed [with each other about that], so they separated. Barnabas took Mark [along with him and they got] on a ship and went to Cyprus.
40 मगर पौलुस ने सीलास को पसन्द किया, और भाइयों की तरफ़ से ख़ुदावन्द के फ़ज़ल के सुपुर्द हो कर रवाना किया।
Paul chose Silas, [who had returned to Antioch, to work with him]. The believers [there] asked the Lord [God] to graciously help [Paul and Silas. Then] the two of them departed [from Antioch].
41 और कलीसिया को मज़बूत करता हुआ सूरिया और किलकिया से गुज़रा।
Paul continued traveling [with Silas] through Syria and Cilicia [provinces]. In those places he was helping the congregations to trust strongly [in the Lord Jesus].
