Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
| سَبھاسَدْلوکانْ پْرَتِ پَولونَنْیَدرِشْٹْیا پَشْیَنْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے بھْراترِگَنا اَدْیَ یاوَتْ سَرَلینَ سَرْوّانْتَحکَرَنینیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشادْ آچَرامِ۔ |
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
| اَنینَ ہَنانِییَناما مَہایاجَکَسْتَں کَپولے چَپیٹیناہَنْتُں سَمِیپَسْتھَلوکانْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
| تَدا پَولَسْتَمَوَدَتْ، ہے بَہِشْپَرِشْکرِتَ، اِیشْوَرَسْتْواں پْرَہَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَتوسْتِ، یَتو وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ وِچارَیِتُمْ اُپَوِشْیَ وْیَوَسْتھاں لَنْگھِتْوا ماں پْرَہَرْتُّمْ آجْناپَیَسِ۔ |
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
| تَتو نِکَٹَسْتھا لوکا اَکَتھَیَنْ، تْوَں کِمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہایاجَکَں نِنْدَسِ؟ |
5 Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
| تَتَح پَولَح پْرَتِبھاشِتَوانْ ہے بھْراترِگَنَ مَہایاجَکَ ایشَ اِتِ نَ بُدّھَں مَیا تَدَنْیَچَّ سْوَلوکانامْ اَدھِپَتِں پْرَتِ دُرْوّاکْیَں ما کَتھَیَ، ایتادرِشِی لِپِرَسْتِ۔ |
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
| اَنَنْتَرَں پَولَسْتیشامْ اَرْدّھَں سِدُوکِلوکا اَرْدّھَں پھِرُوشِلوکا اِتِ درِشْٹْوا پْروچَّیح سَبھاسْتھَلوکانْ اَوَدَتْ ہے بھْراترِگَنَ اَہَں پھِرُوشِمَتاوَلَمْبِی پھِرُوشِنَح سَتْنانَشْچَ، مرِتَلوکانامْ اُتّھانے پْرَتْیاشاکَرَنادْ اَہَمَپَوادِتوسْمِ۔ |
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
| اِتِ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں پھِرُوشِسِدُوکِنوح پَرَسْپَرَں بھِنَّواکْیَتْواتْ سَبھایا مَدھْیے دْوَو سَںگھَو جاتَو۔ |
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
| یَتَح سِدُوکِلوکا اُتّھانَں سْوَرْگِییَدُوتا آتْمانَشْچَ سَرْوّیشامْ ایتیشاں کَمَپِ نَ مَنْیَنْتے، کِنْتُ پھِرُوشِنَح سَرْوَّمْ اَنْگِیکُرْوَّنْتِ۔ |
9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
| تَتَح پَرَسْپَرَمْ اَتِشَیَکولاہَلے سَمُپَسْتھِتے پھِرُوشِناں پَکْشِییاح سَبھاسْتھا اَدھْیاپَکاح پْرَتِپَکْشا اُتِّشْٹھَنْتو کَتھَیَنْ، ایتَسْیَ مانَوَسْیَ کَمَپِ دوشَں نَ پَشْیامَح؛ یَدِ کَشْچِدْ آتْما وا کَشْچِدْ دُوتَ اینَں پْرَتْیادِشَتْ تَرْہِ وَیَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْراتِکُولْیینَ نَ یوتْسْیامَح۔ |
10 When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.
| تَسْمادْ اَتِیوَ بھِنَّواکْیَتْوے سَتِ تے پَولَں کھَنْڈَں کھَنْڈَں کَرِشْیَنْتِیتْیاشَنْکَیا سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح سیناگَنَں تَتْسْتھانَں یاتُں سَبھاتو بَلاتْ پَولَں دھرِتْوا دُرْگَں نیتَنْچاجْناپَیَتْ۔ |
11 The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
| راتْرو پْرَبھُسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپے تِشْٹھَنْ کَتھِتَوانْ ہے پَولَ نِرْبھَیو بھَوَ یَتھا یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرے مَیِ ساکْشْیَں دَتَّوانْ تَتھا رومانَگَریپِ تْوَیا داتَوْیَمْ۔ |
12 When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
| دِنے سَمُپَسْتھِتے سَتِ کِیَنْتو یِہُودِییَلوکا ایکَمَنْتْرَناح سَنْتَح پَولَں نَ ہَتْوا بھوجَنَپانے کَرِشْیامَ اِتِ شَپَتھینَ سْوانْ اَبَدھْنَنْ۔ |
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
| چَتْوارِںشَجَّنیبھْیودھِکا لوکا اِتِ پَنَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ۔ |
14 They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
| تے مَہایاجَکاناں پْراچِینَلوکانانْچَ سَمِیپَں گَتْوا کَتھَیَنْ، وَیَں پَولَں نَ ہَتْوا کِمَپِ نَ بھوکْشْیامَہے درِڈھینانینَ شَپَتھینَ بَدّھوا اَبھَوامَ۔ |
15 Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
| اَتَایوَ سامْپْرَتَں سَبھاسَدْلوکَیح سَہَ وَیَں تَسْمِنْ کَنْچِدْ وِشیشَوِچارَں کَرِشْیامَسْتَدَرْتھَں بھَوانْ شْوو سْماکَں سَمِیپَں تَمْ آنَیَتْوِتِ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتَیے نِویدَنَں کُرُتَ تینَ یُشْماکَں سَمِیپَں اُپَسْتھِتیح پُورْوَّں وَیَں تَں ہَنْتُ سَجِّشْیامَ۔ |
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
| تَدا پَولَسْیَ بھاگِنییَسْتیشامِتِ مَنْتْرَناں وِجْنایَ دُرْگَں گَتْوا تاں وارْتّاں پَولَمْ اُکْتَوانْ۔ |
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
| تَسْماتْ پَولَ ایکَں شَتَسیناپَتِمْ آہُویَ واکْیَمِدَمْ بھاشِتَوانْ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح سَمِیپےسْیَ یُوَمَنُشْیَسْیَ کِنْچِنِّویدَنَمْ آسْتے، تَسْماتْ تَتْسَوِدھَمْ اینَں نَیَ۔ |
18 So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
| تَتَح سَ تَمادایَ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح سَمِیپَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ کَتھِتَوانْ، بھَوَتَح سَمِیپےسْیَ کِمَپِ نِویدَنَماسْتے تَسْماتْ بَنْدِح پَولو ماماہُویَ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ اینَمْ آنیتُں پْرارْتھِتَوانْ۔ |
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
| تَدا سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِسْتَسْیَ ہَسْتَں دھرِتْوا نِرْجَنَسْتھانَں نِیتْوا پرِشْٹھَوانْ تَوَ کِں نِویدَنَں؟ تَتْ کَتھَیَ۔ |
20 He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
| تَتَح سوکَتھَیَتْ، یِہُودِییَلاکاح پَولے کَمَپِ وِشیشَوِچارَں چھَلَں کرِتْوا تَں سَبھاں نیتُں بھَوَتَح سَمِیپے نِویدَیِتُں اَمَنْتْرَیَنْ۔ |
21 Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
| کِنْتُ مَوَتا تَنَّ سْوِیکَرْتَّوْیَں یَتَسْتیشاں مَدھْییوَرْتِّنَشْچَتْوارِںشَجَّنیبھْیو دھِکَلوکا ایکَمَنْتْرَنا بھُوتْوا پَولَں نَ ہَتْوا بھوجَنَں پانَنْچَ نَ کَرِشْیامَ اِتِ شَپَتھینَ بَدّھاح سَنْتو گھاتَکا اِوَ سَجِّتا اِدانِیں کیوَلَں بھَوَتو نُمَتِمْ اَپیکْشَنْتے۔ |
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
| یامِماں کَتھاں تْوَں نِویدِتَوانْ تاں کَسْمَیچِدَپِ ما کَتھَییتْیُکْتْوا سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِسْتَں یُوانَں وِسرِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
23 He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
| اَنَنْتَرَں سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِ رْدْوَو شَتَسیناپَتِی آہُوییدَمْ آدِشَتْ، یُواں راتْرَو پْرَہَرَیکاوَشِشْٹایاں سَتْیاں کَیسَرِیانَگَرَں یاتُں پَداتِسَینْیاناں دْوے شَتے گھوٹَکاروہِسَینْیاناں سَپْتَتِں شَکْتِدھارِسَینْیاناں دْوے شَتے چَ جَنانْ سَجِّتانْ کُرُتَں۔ |
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
| پَولَمْ آروہَیِتُں پھِیلِکْشادھِپَتیح سَمِیپَں نِرْوِّگھْنَں نیتُنْچَ واہَنانِ سَمُپَسْتھاپَیَتَں۔ |
25 He wrote a letter like this:
| اَپَرَں سَ پَتْرَں لِکھِتْوا دَتَّوانْ تَلِّکھِتَمیتَتْ، |
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
| مَہامَہِمَشْرِییُکْتَپھِیلِکْشادھِپَتَیے کْلَودِیَلُشِیَسْیَ نَمَسْکارَح۔ |
27 “This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
| یِہُودِییَلوکاح پُورْوَّمْ اینَں مانَوَں دھرِتْوا سْوَہَسْتَے رْہَنْتُمْ اُدْیَتا ایتَسْمِنَّنْتَرے سَسَینْیوہَں تَتْروپَسْتھایَ ایشَ جَنو رومِییَ اِتِ وِجْنایَ تَں رَکْشِتَوانْ۔ |
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
| کِنِّمِتَّں تے تَمَپَوَدَنْتے تَجّناتُں تیشا سَبھاں تَمانایِتَوانْ۔ |
29 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

30 When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
| تَتھاپِ مَنُشْیَسْیاسْیَ وَدھارْتھَں یِہُودِییا گھاتَکااِوَ سَجِّتا ایتاں وارْتّاں شْرُتْوا تَتْکْشَناتْ تَوَ سَمِیپَمینَں پْریشِتَوانْ اَسْیاپَوادَکاںشْچَ تَوَ سَمِیپَں گَتْواپَوَدِتُمْ آجْناپَیَمْ۔ بھَوَتَح کُشَلَں بھُویاتْ۔ |
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
| سَینْیَگَنَ آجْنانُسارینَ پَولَں گرِہِیتْوا تَسْیاں رَجَنْیامْ آنْتِپاتْرِنَگَرَمْ آنَیَتْ۔ |
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
| پَرےہَنِ تینَ سَہَ یاتُں گھوٹَکارُوڈھَسَینْیَگَنَں سْتھاپَیِتْوا پَراورِتْیَ دُرْگَں گَتَوانْ۔ |
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
| تَتَح پَرے گھوٹَکاروہِسَینْیَگَنَح کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تَتْپَتْرَمْ اَدھِپَتیح کَرے سَمَرْپْیَ تَسْیَ سَمِیپے پَولَمْ اُپَسْتھاپِتَوانْ۔ |
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
| تَدادھِپَتِسْتَتْپَتْرَں پَٹھِتْوا پرِشْٹھَوانْ ایشَ کِمْپْرَدیشِییو جَنَح؟ سَ کِلِکِیاپْرَدیشِییَ ایکو جَنَ اِتِ جْناتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ، |
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
| تَواپَوادَکَگَنَ آگَتے تَوَ کَتھاں شْروشْیامِ۔ ہیرودْراجَگرِہے تَں سْتھاپَیِتُمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
