Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
| پَولَسِیلَو آمْپھِپَلْیاپَلّونِیانَگَرابھْیاں گَتْوا یَتْرَ یِہُودِییاناں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَمیکَمْ آسْتے تَتْرَ تھِشَلَنِیکِینَگَرَ اُپَسْتھِتَو۔ |
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
| تَدا پَولَح سْواچارانُسارینَ تیشاں سَمِیپَں گَتْوا وِشْرامَوارَتْرَیے تَیح سارْدّھَں دھَرْمَّپُسْتَکِییَکَتھایا وِچارَں کرِتَوانْ۔ |
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
| پھَلَتَح کھْرِیشْٹینَ دُحکھَبھوگَح کَرْتَّوْیَح شْمَشانَدُتّھانَنْچَ کَرْتَّوْیَں یُشْماکَں سَنِّدھَو یَسْیَ یِیشوح پْرَسْتاوَں کَرومِ سَ اِیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتَح سَ ایتاح کَتھاح پْرَکاشْیَ پْرَمانَں دَتْوا سْتھِرِیکرِتَوانْ۔ |
4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
| تَسْماتْ تیشاں کَتِپَیَجَنا اَنْیَدیشِییا بَہَوو بھَکْتَلوکا بَہْیَح پْرَدھانَنارْیَّشْچَ وِشْوَسْیَ پَولَسِیلَیوح پَشْچادْگامِنو جاتاح۔ |
5 But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
| کِنْتُ وِشْواسَہِینا یِہُودِییَلوکا اِیرْشْیَیا پَرِپُورْناح سَنْتو ہَٹَٹْسْیَ کَتِنَیَلَمْپَٹَلوکانْ سَنْگِنَح کرِتْوا جَنَتَیا نَگَرَمَدھْیے مَہاکَلَہَں کرِتْوا یاسونو گرِہَمْ آکْرَمْیَ پْریرِتانْ دھرِتْوا لوکَنِوَہَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ آنیتُں چیشْٹِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
6 When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
| تیشامُدّیشَمْ اَپْراپْیَ چَ یاسونَں کَتِپَیانْ بھْراترِںشْچَ دھرِتْوا نَگَرادھِپَتِیناں نِکَٹَمانِییَ پْروچَّیح کَتھِتَوَنْتو یے مَنُشْیا جَگَدُدْواٹِتَوَنْتَسْتے تْراپْیُپَسْتھِتاح سَنْتِ، |
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
| ایشَ یاسونْ آتِتھْیَں کرِتْوا تانْ گرِہِیتَوانْ۔ یِیشُنامَکَ ایکو راجَسْتِیتِ کَتھَیَنْتَسْتے کَیسَرَسْیاجْناوِرُدّھَں کَرْمَّ کُرْوَّتِ۔ |
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
| تیشاں کَتھامِماں شْرُتْوا لوکَنِوَہو نَگَرادھِپَتَیَشْچَ سَمُدْوِگْنا اَبھَوَنْ۔ |
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
| تَدا یاسونَسْتَدَنْییشانْچَ دھَنَدَنْڈَں گرِہِیتْوا تانْ پَرِتْیَکْتَوَنْتَح۔ |
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
| تَتَح پَرَں بھْراترِگَنو رَجَنْیاں پَولَسِیلَو شِیگھْرَں بِرَیانَگَرَں پْریشِتَوانْ تَو تَتْروپَسْتھایَ یِہُودِییاناں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَں گَتَوَنْتَو۔ |
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
| تَتْرَسْتھا لوکاح تھِشَلَنِیکِیسْتھَلوکیبھْیو مَہاتْمانَ آسَنْ یَتَ اِتّھَں بھَوَتِ نَ ویتِ جْناتُں دِنے دِنے دھَرْمَّگْرَنْتھَسْیالوچَناں کرِتْوا سْوَیرَں کَتھامْ اَگرِہْلَنْ۔ |
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
| تَسْمادْ اَنیکے یِہُودِییا اَنْیَدیشِییاناں مانْیا سْتْرِیَح پُرُشاشْچانیکے وْیَشْوَسَنْ۔ |
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
| کِنْتُ بِرَیانَگَرے پَولینیشْوَرِییا کَتھا پْرَچارْیَّتَ اِتِ تھِشَلَنِیکِیسْتھا یِہُودِییا جْناتْوا تَتْسْتھانَمَپْیاگَتْیَ لوکاناں کُپْرَورِتِّمْ اَجَنَیَنْ۔ |
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
| اَتَایوَ تَسْماتْ سْتھاناتْ سَمُدْرینَ یانْتِیتِ دَرْشَیِتْوا بھْراتَرَح کْشِپْرَں پَولَں پْراہِنْوَنْ کِنْتُ سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَو تَتْرَ سْتھِتَوَنْتَو۔ |
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
| تَتَح پَرَں پَولَسْیَ مارْگَدَرْشَکاسْتَمْ آتھِینِینَگَرَ اُپَسْتھاپَیَنْ پَشْچادْ یُواں تُورْنَمْ ایتَتْ سْتھانَں آگَمِشْیَتھَح سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَو پْرَتِیمامْ آجْناں پْراپْیَ تے پْرَتْیاگَتاح۔ |
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
| پَولَ آتھِینِینَگَرے تاوَپیکْشْیَ تِشْٹھَنْ تَنَّگَرَں پْرَتِمابھِح پَرِپُورْنَں درِشْٹْوا سَنْتَپْتَہرِدَیو بھَوَتْ۔ |
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
| تَتَح سَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے یانْ یِہُودِییانْ بھَکْتَلوکاںشْچَ ہَٹّے چَ یانْ اَپَشْیَتْ تَیح سَہَ پْرَتِدِنَں وِچارِتَوانْ۔ |
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
| کِنْتْوِپِکُورِییَمَتَگْرَہِنَح سْتویِکِییَمَتَگْراہِنَشْچَ کِیَنْتو جَناسْتینَ سارْدّھَں وْیَوَدَنْتَ۔ تَتْرَ کیچِدْ اَکَتھَیَنْ ایشَ واچالَح کِں وَکْتُمْ اِچّھَتِ؟ اَپَرے کیچِدْ ایشَ جَنَح کیشانْچِدْ وِدیشِییَدیواناں پْرَچارَکَ اِتْیَنُمِییَتے یَتَح سَ یِیشُمْ اُتّھِتِنْچَ پْرَچارَیَتْ۔ |
19 They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
| تے تَمْ اَرییَپاگَنامَ وِچارَسْتھانَمْ آنِییَ پْراووچَنْ اِدَں یَنَّوِینَں مَتَں تْوَں پْراچِیکَشَ اِدَں کِیدرِشَں ایتَدْ اَسْمانْ شْراوَیَ؛ |
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
| یامِمامْ اَسَمْبھَوَکَتھامْ اَسْماکَں کَرْنَگوچَرِیکرِتَوانْ اَسْیا بھاوارْتھَح کَ اِتِ وَیَں جْناتُمْ اِچّھامَح۔ |
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
| تَداتھِینِینِواسِنَسْتَنَّگَرَپْرَواسِنَشْچَ کیوَلَں کَسْیاشْچَنَ نَوِینَکَتھایاح شْرَوَنینَ پْرَچارَنینَ چَ کالَمْ اَیاپَیَنْ۔ |
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
| پَولورییَپاگَسْیَ مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنْ ایتاں کَتھاں پْرَچارِتَوانْ، ہے آتھِینِییَلوکا یُویَں سَرْوَّتھا دیوَپُوجایامْ آسَکْتا اِتْیَہَ پْرَتْیَکْشَں پَشْیامِ۔ |
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
| یَتَح پَرْیَّٹَنَکالے یُشْماکَں پُوجَنِییانِ پَشْیَنْ ‘اَوِجْناتیشْوَرایَ’ ایتَلِّپِیُکْتاں یَجْنَویدِیمیکاں درِشْٹَوانْ؛ اَتو نَ وِدِتْوا یَں پُوجَیَدھْوے تَسْیَیوَ تَتْوَں یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ پْرَچارَیامِ۔ |
24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
| جَگَتو جَگَتْسْتھاناں سَرْوَّوَسْتُونانْچَ سْرَشْٹا یَ اِیشْوَرَح سَ سْوَرْگَپرِتھِوْیوریکادھِپَتِح سَنْ کَرَنِرْمِّتَمَنْدِریشُ نَ نِوَسَتِ؛ |
25 He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
| سَ ایوَ سَرْوّیبھْیو جِیوَنَں پْرانانْ سَرْوَّسامَگْرِیشْچَ پْرَدَداتِ؛ اَتَایوَ سَ کَسْیاشْچِتْ سامَگْیْرا اَبھاوَہیتو رْمَنُشْیاناں ہَسْتَیح سیوِتو بھَوَتِیتِ نَ۔ |
26 He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
| سَ بھُومَنْڈَلے نِواسارْتھَمْ ایکَسْماتْ شونِتاتْ سَرْوّانْ مَنُشْیانْ سرِشْٹْوا تیشاں پُورْوَّنِرُوپِتَسَمَیَں وَسَتِسِیمانْچَ نِرَچِنوتْ؛ |
27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
| تَسْماتْ لوکَیح کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ مرِگَیِتْوا پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ تَتْوَں پْراپْتُں تَسْیَ گَویشَنَں کَرَنِییَمْ۔ |
28 ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
| کِنْتُ سوسْماکَں کَسْماچِّدَپِ دُورے تِشْٹھَتِیتِ نَہِ، وَیَں تینَ نِشْوَسَنَپْرَشْوَسَنَگَمَناگَمَنَپْرانَدھارَنانِ کُرْمَّح، پُنَشْچَ یُشْماکَمیوَ کَتِپَیاح کَوَیَح کَتھَیَنْتِ ‘تَسْیَ وَںشا وَیَں سْمو ہِ’ اِتِ۔ |
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
| اَتَایوَ یَدِ وَیَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ وَںشا بھَوامَسْتَرْہِ مَنُشْیَے رْوِدْیَیا کَوشَلینَ چَ تَکْشِتَں سْوَرْنَں رُوپْیَں درِشَدْ وَیتیشامِیشْوَرَتْوَمْ اَسْمابھِ رْنَ جْناتَوْیَں۔ |
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
| تیشاں پُورْوِّییَلوکانامْ اَجْنانَتاں پْرَتِیشْوَرو یَدْیَپِ ناوادھَتَّ تَتھاپِیدانِیں سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوّانْ مَنَح پَرِوَرْتَّیِتُمْ آجْناپَیَتِ، |
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
| یَتَح سْوَنِیُکْتینَ پُرُشینَ یَدا سَ پرِتھِوِیسْتھاناں سَرْوَّلوکاناں وِچارَں کَرِشْیَتِ تَدِّنَں نْیَرُوپَیَتْ؛ تَسْیَ شْمَشانوتّھاپَنینَ تَسْمِنْ سَرْوّیبھْیَح پْرَمانَں پْراداتْ۔ |
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
| تَدا شْمَشانادْ اُتّھانَسْیَ کَتھاں شْرُتْوا کیچِدْ اُپاہَمَنْ، کیچِدَوَدَنْ ایناں کَتھاں پُنَرَپِ تْوَتَّح شْروشْیامَح۔ |
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
| تَتَح پَولَسْتیشاں سَمِیپاتْ پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
| تَتھاپِ کیچِلّوکاسْتینَ سارْدّھَں مِلِتْوا وْیَشْوَسَنْ تیشاں مَدھْیے رییَپاگِییَدِیَنُسِیو دامارِیناما کاچِنّارِی کِیَنْتو نَراشْچاسَنْ۔ |
