Acts 18
1 After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
तद्घटनातः परं पौल आथीनीनगराद् यात्रां कृत्वा करिन्थनगरम् आगच्छत्।
2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;
तस्मिन् समये क्लौदियः सर्व्वान् यिहूदीयान् रोमानगरं विहाय गन्तुम् आज्ञापयत्, तस्मात् प्रिस्किल्लानाम्ना जायया सार्द्धम् इतालियादेशात् किञ्चित्पूर्व्वम् आगमत् यः पन्तदेशे जात आक्किलनामा यिहूदीयलोकः पौलस्तं साक्षात् प्राप्य तयोः समीपमितवान्।
3 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.
तौ दूष्यनिर्म्माणजीविनौ, तस्मात् परस्परम् एकवृत्तिकत्वात् स ताभ्यां सह उषित्वा तत् कर्म्माकरोत्।
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
पौलः प्रतिविश्रामवारं भजनभवनं गत्वा विचारं कृत्वा यिहूदीयान् अन्यदेशीयांश्च प्रवृत्तिं ग्राहितवान्।
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
सीलतीमथिययो र्माकिदनियादेशात् समेतयोः सतोः पौल उत्तप्तमना भूत्वा यीशुरीश्वरेणाभिषिक्तो भवतीति प्रमाणं यिहूदीयानां समीपे प्रादात्।
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
किन्तु ते ऽतीव विरोधं विधाय पाषण्डीयकथां कथितवन्तस्ततः पौलो वस्त्रं धुन्वन् एतां कथां कथितवान्, युष्माकं शोणितपातापराधो युष्मान् प्रत्येव भवतु, तेनाहं निरपराधो ऽद्यारभ्य भिन्नदेशीयानां समीपं यामि।
7 And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
स तस्मात् प्रस्थाय भजनभवनसमीपस्थस्य युस्तनाम्न ईश्वरभक्तस्य भिन्नदेशीयस्य निवेशनं प्राविशत्।
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
ततः क्रीष्पनामा भजनभवनाधिपतिः सपरिवारः प्रभौ व्यश्वसीत्, करिन्थनगरीया बहवो लोकाश्च समाकर्ण्य विश्वस्य मज्जिता अभवन्।
9 And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
क्षणदायां प्रभुः पौलं दर्शनं दत्वा भाषितवान्, मा भैषीः, मा निरसीः कथां प्रचारय।
10 for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.
अहं त्वया सार्द्धम् आस हिंसार्थं कोपि त्वां स्प्रष्टुं न शक्ष्यति नगरेऽस्मिन् मदीया लोका बहव आसते।
11 And he dwelt [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
तस्मात् पौलस्तन्नगरे प्रायेण सार्द्धवत्सरपर्य्यन्तं संस्थायेश्वरस्य कथाम् उपादिशत्।
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,
गाल्लियनामा कश्चिद् आखायादेशस्य प्राड्विवाकः समभवत्, ततो यिहूदीया एकवाक्याः सन्तः पौलम् आक्रम्य विचारस्थानं नीत्वा
13 saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
मानुष एष व्यवस्थाय विरुद्धम् ईश्वरभजनं कर्त्तुं लोकान् कुप्रवृत्तिं ग्राहयतीति निवेदितवन्तः।
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
ततः पौले प्रत्युत्तरं दातुम् उद्यते सति गाल्लिया यिहूदीयान् व्याहरत्, यदि कस्यचिद् अन्यायस्य वातिशयदुष्टताचरणस्य विचारोऽभविष्यत् तर्हि युष्माकं कथा मया सहनीयाभविष्यत्।
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.
किन्तु यदि केवलं कथाया वा नाम्नो वा युष्माकं व्यवस्थाया विवादो भवति तर्हि तस्य विचारमहं न करिष्यामि, यूयं तस्य मीमांसां कुरुत।
16 And he drave them from the judgment-seat.
ततः स तान् विचारस्थानाद् दूरीकृतवान्।
17 And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.
तदा भिन्नदेशीयाः सोस्थिनिनामानं भजनभवनस्य प्रधानाधिपतिं धृत्वा विचारस्थानस्य सम्मुखे प्राहरन् तथापि गाल्लिया तेषु सर्व्वकर्म्मसु न मनो न्यदधात्।
18 And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae: for he had a vow.
पौलस्तत्र पुनर्बहुदिनानि न्यवसत्, ततो भ्रातृगणाद् विसर्जनं प्राप्य किञ्चनव्रतनिमित्तं किंक्रियानगरे शिरो मुण्डयित्वा प्रिस्किल्लाक्किलाभ्यां सहितो जलपथेन सुरियादेशं गतवान्।
19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
तत इफिषनगर उपस्थाय तत्र तौ विसृज्य स्वयं भजनभ्वनं प्रविश्य यिहूदीयैः सह विचारितवान्।
20 And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;
ते स्वैः सार्द्धं पुनः कतिपयदिनानि स्थातुं तं व्यनयन्, स तदनुररीकृत्य कथामेतां कथितवान्,
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
यिरूशालमि आगाम्युत्सवपालनार्थं मया गमनीयं; पश्चाद् ईश्वरेच्छायां जातायां युष्माकं समीपं प्रत्यागमिष्यामि। ततः परं स तै र्विसृष्टः सन् जलपथेन इफिषनगरात् प्रस्थितवान्।
22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.
ततः कैसरियाम् उपस्थितः सन् नगरं गत्वा समाजं नमस्कृत्य तस्माद् आन्तियखियानगरं प्रस्थितवान्।
23 And having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, stablishing all the disciples.
तत्र कियत्कालं यापयित्वा तस्मात् प्रस्थाय सर्व्वेषां शिष्याणां मनांसि सुस्थिराणि कृत्वा क्रमशो गलातियाफ्रुगियादेशयो र्भ्रमित्वा गतवान्।
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, a learned man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.
तस्मिन्नेव समये सिकन्दरियानगरे जात आपल्लोनामा शास्त्रवित् सुवक्ता यिहूदीय एको जन इफिषनगरम् आगतवान्।
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught carefully the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:
स शिक्षितप्रभुमार्गो मनसोद्योगी च सन् योहनो मज्जनमात्रं ज्ञात्वा यथार्थतया प्रभोः कथां कथयन् समुपादिशत्।
26 and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more carefully.
एष जनो निर्भयत्वेन भजनभवने कथयितुम् आरब्धवान्, ततः प्रिस्किल्लाक्किलौ तस्योपदेशकथां निशम्य तं स्वयोः समीपम् आनीय शुद्धरूपेणेश्वरस्य कथाम् अबोधयताम्।
27 And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much which had believed through grace:
पश्चात् स आखायादेशं गन्तुं मतिं कृतवान्, तदा तत्रत्यः शिष्यगणो यथा तं गृह्लाति तदर्थं भ्रातृगणेन समाश्वस्य पत्रे लिखिते सति, आपल्लास्तत्रोपस्थितः सन् अनुग्रहेण प्रत्ययिनां बहूपकारान् अकरोत्,
28 for he powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
फलतो यीशुरभिषिक्तस्त्रातेति शास्त्रप्रमाणं दत्वा प्रकाशरूपेण प्रतिपन्नं कृत्वा यिहूदीयान् निरुत्तरान् कृतवान्।
