Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, when we set sail, having torn ourselves from them, running a straight course, we came unto Cos, and, on the next day, unto Rhodes, —and from thence unto Patara;
tai rvisRSTAH santO vayaM pOtaM bAhayitvA RjumArgENa kOSam upadvIpam Agatya parE'hani rOdiyOpadvIpam AgacchAma tatastasmAt pAtArAyAm upAtiSThAma|
2 and, finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, going on board, we set sail.
tatra phainIkiyAdEzagAminam pOtamEkaM prApya tamAruhya gatavantaH|
3 And, sighting Cyprus, and leaving it behind to the left, we held on our voyage to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for, there, the ship was to discharge her cargo.
kuprOpadvIpaM dRSTvA taM savyadizi sthApayitvA suriyAdEzaM gatvA pOtasthadravyANyavarOhayituM sOranagarE lAgitavantaH|
4 And, finding up the disciples, we remained there seven days, and they, unto Paul, began to say, through the Spirit, that he would gain no footing in Jerusalem.
tatra ziSyagaNasya sAkSAtkaraNAya vayaM tatra saptadinAni sthitavantaH pazcAttE pavitrENAtmanA paulaM vyAharan tvaM yirUzAlamnagaraM mA gamaH|
5 And, when it came to pass that we had completed the days, we went forth, and continued our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city; and, kneeling down on the beach in prayer,
tatastESu saptasu dinESu yApitESu satsu vayaM tasmAt sthAnAt nijavartmanA gatavantaH, tasmAt tE sabAlavRddhavanitA asmAbhiH saha nagarasya parisaraparyyantam AgatAH pazcAdvayaM jaladhitaTE jAnupAtaM prArthayAmahi|
6 we tare ourselves from each other, and we went on board the ship, while, they, returned unto their homes.
tataH parasparaM visRSTAH santO vayaM pOtaM gatAstE tu svasvagRhaM pratyAgatavantaH|
7 And, we, finishing the voyage from Tyre, reached Ptolemais, and, saluting the brethren, abode one day with them;
vayaM sOranagarAt nAvA prasthAya talimAyinagaram upAtiSThAma tatrAsmAkaM samudrIyamArgasyAntO'bhavat tatra bhrAtRgaNaM namaskRtya dinamEkaM taiH sArddham uSatavantaH|
8 and, on the morrow departing, we came to Caesarea, and, entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
parE 'hani paulastasya sagginO vayanjca pratiSThamAnAH kaisariyAnagaram Agatya susaMvAdapracArakAnAM saptajanAnAM philipanAmna Ekasya gRhaM pravizyAvatiSThAma|
9 Now—this man, had four virgin daughters, who used to prophesy.
tasya catasrO duhitarO'nUPhA bhaviSyadvAdinya Asan|
10 And, as we stayed on many days, there came down a certain man from Judaea, a prophet, by name Agabus;
tatrAsmAsu bahudinAni prOSitESu yihUdIyadEzAd AgatyAgAbanAmA bhaviSyadvAdI samupasthitavAn|
11 and, coming unto us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said—Thus, saith the Holy Spirit, the man whose this girdle is, shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver up into the hands of Gentiles.
sOsmAkaM samIpamEtya paulasya kaTibandhanaM gRhItvA nijahastApAdAn baddhvA bhASitavAn yasyEdaM kaTibandhanaM taM yihUdIyalOkA yirUzAlamanagara itthaM baddhvA bhinnadEzIyAnAM karESu samarpayiSyantIti vAkyaM pavitra AtmA kathayati|
12 And, when we heard these things, both, we, and they of the place began beseeching him, not to go up unto Jerusalem.
EtAdRzIM kathAM zrutvA vayaM tannagaravAsinO bhrAtarazca yirUzAlamaM na yAtuM paulaM vyanayAmahi;
13 Then, answered Paul—What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For, I, not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem, am ready, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus.
kintu sa pratyAvAdIt, yUyaM kiM kurutha? kiM krandanEna mamAntaHkaraNaM vidIrNaM kariSyatha? prabhO ryIzO rnAmnO nimittaM yirUzAlami baddhO bhavituM kEvala tanna prANAn dAtumapi sasajjOsmi|
14 And, as he was not to be persuaded, we ceased, saying—the Lord’s, will be done!
tEnAsmAkaM kathAyAm agRhItAyAm Izvarasya yathEcchA tathaiva bhavatvityuktvA vayaM nirasyAma|
15 And, after these days, making ready what we had, we started to go up unto Jerusalem;
parE'hani pAthEyadravyANi gRhItvA yirUzAlamaM prati yAtrAm akurmma|
16 and there went certain also of the disciples from Caesarea, along with us, who were to introduce us unto one with whom we might be entertained, one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple.
tataH kaisariyAnagaranivAsinaH katipayAH ziSyA asmAbhiH sArddham itvA kRprIyEna mnAsannAmnA yEna prAcInaziSyEna sArddham asmAbhi rvastavyaM tasya samIpam asmAn nItavantaH|
17 Now, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren, gladly welcomed us.
asmAsu yirUzAlamyupasthitESu tatrasthabhrAtRgaNO'smAn AhlAdEna gRhItavAn|
18 And, on the next day, Paul went in with us unto James, and, all the elders, were present.
parasmin divasE paulE'smAbhiH saha yAkUbO gRhaM praviSTE lOkaprAcInAH sarvvE tatra pariSadi saMsthitAH|
19 And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry.
anantaraM sa tAn natvA svIyapracAraNEna bhinnadEzIyAn pratIzvarO yAni karmmANi sAdhitavAn tadIyAM kathAm anukramAt kathitavAn|
20 And, they, having heard, began glorifying God; and they said to him—Thou observest, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews who have believed, and, all, are zealous for the law.
iti zrutvA tE prabhuM dhanyaM prOcya vAkyamidam abhASanta, hE bhrAta ryihUdIyAnAM madhyE bahusahasrANi lOkA vizvAsina AsatE kintu tE sarvvE vyavasthAmatAcAriNa Etat pratyakSaM pazyasi|
21 Now they have heard it rumoured concerning thee, that, an apostacy, art thou teaching, from Moses, unto all the Jews, who are among the nations, telling them not to be circumcising their children, nor, by the customs, to be walking.
zizUnAM tvakchEdanAdyAcaraNaM pratiSidhya tvaM bhinnadEzanivAsinO yihUdIyalOkAn mUsAvAkyam azraddhAtum upadizasIti taiH zrutamasti|
22 What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come.
tvamatrAgatOsIti vArttAM samAkarNya jananivahO militvAvazyamEvAgamiSyati; ataEva kiM karaNIyam? atra vayaM mantrayitvA samupAyaM tvAM vadAmastaM tvamAcara|
23 This, then, do, which unto thee, we say: —We have four men who have a vow upon themselves.
vrataM karttuM kRtasagkalpA yE'smAMka catvArO mAnavAH santi
24 Taking these unto thee, be purified with them, and spend something upon them, that they may shave their head; and all will get to know, that the things which they have heard rumoured concerning thee, are, nothing, —on the contrary, thou thyself, dost keep the ranks, guarding the law.

25 But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication.

26 Then Paul, taking unto him the men, on the next day, with them, being purified, began entering into the temple to declare the filling up of the days of the purification—until, the offering, had been presented for each one of them.
tataH paulastAn mAnuSAnAdAya parasmin divasE taiH saha zuci rbhUtvA mandiraM gatvA zaucakarmmaNO dinESu sampUrNESu tESAm EkaikArthaM naivEdyAdyutsargO bhaviSyatIti jnjApitavAn|
27 When, however, the seven days were on the point of being concluded, the Jews from Asia, observing him in the temple, began to urge-on all the multitude, and thrust upon them their hands,
tESu saptasu dinESu samAptakalpESu AziyAdEzanivAsinO yihUdIyAstaM madhyEmandiraM vilOkya jananivahasya manaHsu kupravRttiM janayitvA taM dhRtvA
28 crying out—Israelites! be giving help! This, is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, is teaching, all men everywhere; furthermore, even Greeks, hath he brought into the temple, and hath profaned this holy place.
prOccaiH prAvOcan, hE isrAyEllOkAH sarvvE sAhAyyaM kuruta| yO manuja EtESAM lOkAnAM mUsAvyavasthAyA Etasya sthAnasyApi viparItaM sarvvatra sarvvAn zikSayati sa ESaH; vizESataH sa bhinnadEzIyalOkAn mandiram AnIya pavitrasthAnamEtad apavitramakarOt|
29 For they had before seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city along with him, whom they were supposing, Paul, had brought, into the temple.
pUrvvaM tE madhyEnagaram iphiSanagarIyaM traphimaM paulEna sahitaM dRSTavanta EtasmAt paulastaM mandiramadhyam Anayad ityanvamimata|
30 And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast.
ataEva sarvvasmin nagarE kalahOtpannatvAt dhAvantO lOkA Agatya paulaM dhRtvA mandirasya bahirAkRSyAnayan tatkSaNAd dvArANi sarvvANi ca ruddhAni|
31 When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion: —
tESu taM hantumudyatESu yirUzAlamnagarE mahAnupadravO jAta iti vArttAyAM sahasrasEnApatEH karNagOcarIbhUtAyAM satyAM sa tatkSaNAt sainyAni sEnApatigaNanjca gRhItvA javEnAgatavAn|
32 who, instantly taking unto him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and, they, seeing the captain and the soldiers, left off striking Paul.
tatO lOkAH sEnAgaNEna saha sahasrasEnApatim AgacchantaM dRSTvA paulatAPanAtO nyavarttanta|
33 Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, —and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done;
sa sahasrasEnApatiH sannidhAvAgamya paulaM dhRtvA zRgkhaladvayEna baddham Adizya tAn pRSTavAn ESa kaH? kiM karmma cAyaM kRtavAn?
34 but, others, were calling out, something else, in the multitude; and so, as he could not get to know the certainty, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the castle.
tatO janasamUhasya kazcid EkaprakAraM kazcid anyaprakAraM vAkyam araut sa tatra satyaM jnjAtum kalahakAraNAd azaktaH san taM durgaM nEtum AjnjApayat|
35 And, when he came unto the stairs, so it was that he was borne along by the soldiers, because of the force of the multitude;
tESu sOpAnasyOpari prAptESu lOkAnAM sAhasakAraNAt sEnAgaNaH paulamuttOlya nItavAn|
36 for the throng of the people was following, crying out—Away with him!
tataH sarvvE lOkAH pazcAdgAminaH santa EnaM durIkurutEti vAkyam uccairavadan|
37 But, when he was on the point of being taken into the castle, Paul saith unto the captain—Is it allowed me, to say somewhat unto thee? And he said—With Greek, art thou acquainted?
paulasya durgAnayanasamayE sa tasmai sahasrasEnApatayE kathitavAn, bhavataH purastAt kathAM kathayituM kim anumanyatE? sa tamapRcchat tvaM kiM yUnAnIyAM bhASAM jAnAsi?
38 Not, then, art, thou, the Egyptian, who, before these days, stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four-thousand men of the Assassins?
yO misarIyO janaH pUrvvaM virOdhaM kRtvA catvAri sahasrANi ghAtakAn sagginaH kRtvA vipinaM gatavAn tvaM kiM saEva na bhavasi?
39 And Paul said—I, indeed, am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, —a citizen, of no obscure city; but I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people!
tadA paulO'kathayat ahaM kilikiyAdEzasya tArSanagarIyO yihUdIyO, nAhaM sAmAnyanagarIyO mAnavaH; ataEva vinayE'haM lAkAnAM samakSaM kathAM kathayituM mAmanujAnISva|
40 And, when he had given leave, Paul, standing upon the stairs, waved with his hand unto the people; and, when great silence was secured, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying—
tEnAnujnjAtaH paulaH sOpAnOpari tiSThan hastEnEggitaM kRtavAn, tasmAt sarvvE susthirA abhavan| tadA paula ibrIyabhASayA kathayitum Arabhata,
