Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
karinthanagara āpallasaḥ sthitikāle paula uttarapradeśairāgacchan iphiṣanagaram upasthitavān| tatra katipayaśiṣyān sākṣat prāpya tān apṛcchat,
2 He said unto them, Have all of you received the Holy Spirit (pneuma) since all of you believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
yūyaṁ viśvasya pavitramātmānaṁ prāptā na vā? tataste pratyavadan pavitra ātmā dīyate ityasmābhiḥ śrutamapi nahi|
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were all of you baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
tadā sā'vadat tarhi yūyaṁ kena majjitā abhavata? te'kathayan yohano majjanena|
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
tadā paula uktavān itaḥ paraṁ ya upasthāsyati tasmin arthata yīśukhrīṣṭe viśvasitavyamityuktvā yohan manaḥparivarttanasūcakena majjanena jale lokān amajjayat|
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
tādṛśīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā te prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā majjitā abhavan|
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit (pneuma) came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
tataḥ paulena teṣāṁ gātreṣu kare'rpite teṣāmupari pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān, tasmāt te nānādeśīyā bhāṣā bhaviṣyatkathāśca kathitavantaḥ|
7 And all the men were about twelve.
te prāyeṇa dvādaśajanā āsan|
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
paulo bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā prāyeṇa māsatrayam īśvarasya rājyasya vicāraṁ kṛtvā lokān pravartya sāhasena kathāmakathayat|
9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
kintu kaṭhināntaḥkaraṇatvāt kiyanto janā na viśvasya sarvveṣāṁ samakṣam etatpathasya nindāṁ karttuṁ pravṛttāḥ, ataḥ paulasteṣāṁ samīpāt prasthāya śiṣyagaṇaṁ pṛthakkṛtvā pratyahaṁ turānnanāmnaḥ kasyacit janasya pāṭhaśālāyāṁ vicāraṁ kṛtavān|
10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word (logos) of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
itthaṁ vatsaradvayaṁ gataṁ tasmād āśiyādeśanivāsinaḥ sarvve yihūdīyā anyadeśīyalokāśca prabho ryīśoḥ kathām aśrauṣan|
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
paulena ca īśvara etādṛśānyadbhutāni karmmāṇi kṛtavān
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits (pneuma) went out of them.
yat paridheye gātramārjanavastre vā tasya dehāt pīḍitalokānām samīpam ānīte te nirāmayā jātā apavitrā bhūtāśca tebhyo bahirgatavantaḥ|
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits (pneuma) the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
tadā deśāṭanakāriṇaḥ kiyanto yihūdīyā bhūtāpasāriṇo bhūtagrastanokānāṁ sannidhau prabhe ryīśo rnāma japtvā vākyamidam avadan, yasya kathāṁ paulaḥ pracārayati tasya yīśo rnāmnā yuṣmān ājñāpayāmaḥ|
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
skivanāmno yihūdīyānāṁ pradhānayājakasya saptabhiḥ puttaistathā kṛte sati
15 And the evil spirit (pneuma) answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are all of you?
kaścid apavitro bhūtaḥ pratyuditavān, yīśuṁ jānāmi paulañca paricinomi kintu ke yūyaṁ?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit (pneuma) was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
ityuktvā sopavitrabhūtagrasto manuṣyo lamphaṁ kṛtvā teṣāmupari patitvā balena tān jitavān, tasmātte nagnāḥ kṣatāṅgāśca santastasmād gehāt palāyanta|
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
sā vāg iphiṣanagaranivāsinasaṁ sarvveṣāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnadeśīyānāṁ lokānāñca śravogocarībhūtā; tataḥ sarvve bhayaṁ gatāḥ prabho ryīśo rnāmno yaśo 'varddhata|
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
yeṣāmanekeṣāṁ lokānāṁ pratītirajāyata ta āgatya svaiḥ kṛtāḥ kriyāḥ prakāśarūpeṇāṅgīkṛtavantaḥ|
19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
bahavo māyākarmmakāriṇaḥ svasvagranthān ānīya rāśīkṛtya sarvveṣāṁ samakṣam adāhayan, tato gaṇanāṁ kṛtvābudhyanta pañcāyutarūpyamudrāmūlyapustakāni dagdhāni|
20 So mightily grew the word (logos) of God and prevailed.
itthaṁ prabhoḥ kathā sarvvadeśaṁ vyāpya prabalā jātā|
21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, (pneuma) when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
sarvveṣveteṣu karmmasu sampanneṣu satsu paulo mākidaniyākhāyādeśābhyāṁ yirūśālamaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā kathitavān tatsthānaṁ yātrāyāṁ kṛtāyāṁ satyāṁ mayā romānagaraṁ draṣṭavyaṁ|
22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
svānugatalokānāṁ tīmathiyerāstau dvau janau mākidaniyādeśaṁ prati prahitya svayam āśiyādeśe katipayadināni sthitavān|
23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
kintu tasmin samaye mate'smin kalaho jātaḥ|
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
tatkāraṇamidaṁ, arttimīdevyā rūpyamandiranirmmāṇena sarvveṣāṁ śilpināṁ yatheṣṭalābham ajanayat yo dīmītriyanāmā nāḍīndhamaḥ
25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, all of you know that by this craft we have our wealth.
sa tān tatkarmmajīvinaḥ sarvvalokāṁśca samāhūya bhāṣitavān he mahecchā etena mandiranirmmāṇenāsmākaṁ jīvikā bhavati, etad yūyaṁ vittha;
26 Moreover all of you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
kintu hastanirmmiteśvarā īśvarā nahi paulanāmnā kenacijjanena kathāmimāṁ vyāhṛtya kevalephiṣanagare nahi prāyeṇa sarvvasmin āśiyādeśe pravṛttiṁ grāhayitvā bahulokānāṁ śemuṣī parāvarttitā, etad yuṣmābhi rdṛśyate śrūyate ca|
27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nothing; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.
tenāsmākaṁ vāṇijyasya sarvvathā hāneḥ sambhavanaṁ kevalamiti nahi, āśiyādeśasthai rvā sarvvajagatsthai rlokaiḥ pūjyā yārtimī mahādevī tasyā mandirasyāvajñānasya tasyā aiśvaryyasya nāśasya ca sambhāvanā vidyate|
28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
etādṛśīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā te mahākrodhānvitāḥ santa uccaiḥkāraṁ kathitavanta iphiṣīyānām arttimī devī mahatī bhavati|
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
tataḥ sarvvanagaraṁ kalahena paripūrṇamabhavat, tataḥ paraṁ te mākidanīyagāyāristārkhanāmānau paulasya dvau sahacarau dhṛtvaikacittā raṅgabhūmiṁ javena dhāvitavantaḥ|
30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
tataḥ paulo lokānāṁ sannidhiṁ yātum udyatavān kintu śiṣyagaṇastaṁ vāritavān|
31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
paulasyatmīyā āśiyādeśasthāḥ katipayāḥ pradhānalokāstasya samīpaṁ naramekaṁ preṣya tvaṁ raṅgabhūmiṁ māgā iti nyavedayan|
32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
tato nānālokānāṁ nānākathākathanāt sabhā vyākulā jātā kiṁ kāraṇād etāvatī janatābhavat etad adhikai rlokai rnājñāyi|
33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
tataḥ paraṁ janatāmadhyād yihūdīyairbahiṣkṛtaḥ sikandaro hastena saṅketaṁ kṛtvā lokebhya uttaraṁ dātumudyatavān,
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
kintu sa yihūdīyaloka iti niścite sati iphiṣīyānām arttimī devī mahatīti vākyaṁ prāyeṇa pañca daṇḍān yāvad ekasvareṇa lokanivahaiḥ proktaṁ|
35 And when the public clerk had appeased the people, he said, All of you men of Ephesus, what man is there that knows not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
tato nagarādhipatistān sthirān kṛtvā kathitavān he iphiṣāyāḥ sarvve lokā ākarṇayata, artimīmahādevyā mahādevāt patitāyāstatpratimāyāśca pūjanama iphiṣanagarasthāḥ sarvve lokāḥ kurvvanti, etat ke na jānanti?
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, all of you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
tasmād etatpratikūlaṁ kepi kathayituṁ na śaknuvanti, iti jñātvā yuṣmābhiḥ susthiratvena sthātavyam avivicya kimapi karmma na karttavyañca|
37 For all of you have brought here these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
yān etān manuṣyān yūyamatra samānayata te mandiradravyāpahārakā yuṣmākaṁ devyā nindakāśca na bhavanti|
38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter (logos) against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them sue one another.
yadi kañcana prati dīmītriyasya tasya sahāyānāñca kācid āpatti rvidyate tarhi pratinidhilokā vicārasthānañca santi, te tat sthānaṁ gatvā uttarapratyuttare kurvvantu|
39 But if all of you enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ kācidaparā kathā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhi niyamitāyāṁ sabhāyāṁ tasyā niṣpatti rbhaviṣyati|
40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account (logos) of this concourse.
kintvetasya virodhasyottaraṁ yena dātuṁ śaknum etādṛśasya kasyacit kāraṇasyābhāvād adyatanaghaṭanāheto rājadrohiṇāmivāsmākam abhiyogo bhaviṣyatīti śaṅkā vidyate|
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
iti kathayitvā sa sabhāsthalokān visṛṣṭavān|
