Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense which I will now make to you.”
“मेरे ढ्लाव ते बुज़ुर्गाव, मेरी गल शुना, ज़ै अवं अपनि सफैई मां पैश लोरोईं केरने।”
2 When the crowd heard Paul speak to them in the Hebrew language, they became quiet. He said,
ज़ैखन लोकेईं तैस करां इब्रानी भाषा ज़ोती शुनी त तैना च़ुप रेइजे, तैखन पौलुसे ज़ोवं:
3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but educated in this city at the feet of Gamaliel. I was instructed according to the strict ways of the law of our fathers. I am zealous for God, just as all of you are today.
“अवं त यहूदी आईं, ते अवं किलिकिया इलाकेरे तरसुस नगरे मां ज़रमो, पन इस नगर मां गमलीएल करां शिक्षा हासिल की, ते अपने दादां-पड़दादां केरे कानूने ठीक तरीके सेइं शिखोरीए, ते अवं भी परमेशरेरे लेइ एरो मघन थियो, ज़ेरे अज़ तुस आथ।
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding up and delivering them to prison both men and women,
मीं मड़दन ते कुआन्शन बेंधतां, ते कैद केरतां, ई पंथ इड़ी तगर सताए, ते तैना माराए भी।
5 as the high priest and all the elders can bear witness. I received letters from them for the brothers in Damascus, and went there to bring them back in bonds to Jerusalem in order for them to be punished.
एप्पू महायाजक ते सब बुज़ुर्ग एस गल्लरे गवाह आन, कि मीं दमिश्क नगरे मां रानेबाले यहूदी ढ्लां केरे लेइ चिट्ठी एन्होरी थी, ते अवं तैड़ी एस नीती सेइं जोरो थियो, ते ज़ैना तैड़ी भोन तैन सज़ा देनेरे लेइ बेन्धतां यरूशलेम नगरे जो नेही।”
6 It happened that when I was traveling and nearing Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light from heaven began to shine around me.
“अवं ज़ैखन सफर केरते-केरते दमिश्क नगरेरे नेड़े पुज़ो, त तै दुपाहरां केरो मौको थियो। ते अम्बरेरां अक बड़ी लौ आई ते मेरे च़ेव्रे पासन बलने लगी।
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
ते अवं तल्ले बिछ़ड़ी जेव, ते मीं अक आवाज़ शुनी, ज़ै मींजो ज़ोने लोरी थी, हे शाऊल, हे शाऊल तू मीं किजो स्तातस?
8 I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'
त मीं पुच़्छ़ू, हे प्रभु तू कौन आस? त तैनी मींजो जुवाब दित्तो, अवं यीशु नासरी आईं, ज़ैस तू सतातस।
9 Those who were with me saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
मेरे सैथेईं लौ त लाई पन तैन कोई गल न समझ़ी, कि तै आवाज़ मीं सेइं कुन लोरीए ज़ोने?
10 I said, 'What should I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Arise and go into Damascus; there you will be told everything that you must do.'
त मीं पुच़्छ़ू, हे प्रभु अवं कुन कम्मेईं, प्रभुए ज़ोवं, उठ दमिश्क नगरे मां गा तैड़ी तीं ज़ैन तेरे केरनेरे लेइ रखेरुए तैड़ी तीं सेइं ज़ोवं गालू।
11 I could not see because of that light's brightness, and being led by the hands of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
मेरे सैथेईं अवं हथ्थेरां ट्लेइतां दमिश्क नगर मां पुज़ाव। किजोकि तैस बड़े महिमारे वजाई सेइं मीं किछ न लेइयोवं।”
12 There I met a man named Ananias, a devout man according to the law and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there.
“तैड़ी अक मैन्हु हनन्याह नव्वेंरो कानूनेरे मुताबिक भक्त मैन्हु अव, ते तैट्ठेरे यहूदन मां बड़ो इज़्ज़तदार थियो।
13 He came to me, stood by me, and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' In that very hour I saw him.
तै मीं कां खड़ो भोइतां ज़ोने लगो, हे ढ्ला, शाऊल, अपनि एछ़्छ़ी खोल्ल, ते मेरी एछ़्छ़ी तैखने खुल्ली जेई, ते अवं तैस लहने लगो।
14 Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the voice coming from his own mouth.
तैखन तैनी ज़ोवं, इश्शे बुज़ुरगां केरे परमेशरे तू च़ुनोरोस, ताके तू तैसेरी मर्ज़ी पूरी केरस ते मसीह लास ते तैसेरी गल्लां शुनस।
15 For you shall be a witness for him to all men about what you have seen and heard.
किजोकि तू सैरी लोकन मां तैसेरो गवाह भोलो, ते तैन ज़ोलो कि तीं कुन लाहेरूए ते कुन शुनेरूए।
16 Now why are you waiting? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'
हुनी च़िर किजो लातस? उठ, ते बपतिस्मो ने ते तेरे पाप माफ़ भोन।”
17 After I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, it happened that I was given a vision.
“ते ज़ैखन अवं यरूशलेम नगरे मां वापस अव, ते अवं मन्दरे मां प्रार्थना केरने लोरो थियो, त मीं दर्शन लावं।
18 I saw him say to me, 'Hurry and leave Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'
ते तै लाव ते एन ज़ोतू शुनू कि लूश केर, ते यरूशलेम नगरे मरां लूशी निस, किजोकि एना लोक मेरे बारे मां तेरी गवाही कबूल न केरेले।
19 I said, 'Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you in every synagogue.
मीं ज़ोवं, हे प्रभु एना लोक ज़ानतन कि अवं हर प्रार्थना घरे मां गातो थियो, ते केन्च़रे अवं तेरे मन्ने बालन कैद केरतो ते कुटतो थियो।
20 When the blood of Stephen your witness was spilled, I also was standing by and agreeing, and I was guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.'
ते ज़ैखन तेरे गवाह स्तिफनुस मारने लोरे थिये, त अवं भी तैड़ी थियो, ते तैसेरे मारने मां खुशी थियो। ते अवं मारने बालां केरां लिगड़ां पहरतो थियो।
21 But he said to me, 'Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'”
ते प्रभुए मीं सेइं ज़ोवं, ‘गा अवं तीं गैर कौमन कां दूर-दूर भेज़ेलो।’”
22 They listened to him until he said this. Then they shouted and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not right that he should live.”
सारे लोक तैसेरी गल्लां शुन्ने लोरे थिये, पन ज़ैखन तै इड़ी तगर पुज़ो त सारे लोक ज़ोरे-ज़ोरे चिन्डां मारने लगे, “ए ज़ींतो रखनेरे काबल नईं!” एस मार।
23 As they were shouting, throwing off their cloaks, and throwing dust into the air,
ज़ैखन लोकां केरि शौर ते चिन्डां च़ेलती रेइ, त तैना चोगे शैरतां धूड़ आसमाने उडारने लगे।
24 the chief captain commanded Paul to be brought into the fortress. He ordered that he should be questioned with scourging, so that he himself might know why they were shouting against him like that.
त फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे पौलुस किल्लै मां नेनेरो हुक्म दित्तो, “एस कोड़ेइं सेइं बाथ ते एसेरू बियांन घिन्ना ताके पतो लगे, कि लोक किजो चिन्डां मारने लोरेन।”
25 When they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and who has not been put on trial?”
ज़ैखन तैना कोड़ेइं सेइं बानेरे लेइ पौलुस रेसी सेइं बंधो, त तैनी एक्की सूबेदारे सेइं ज़ोवं ज़ै तैड़ी नेड़े थियो। “कुन अक रोमी नगरेरे मैन्हु बगैर कसूरे झ़ुसनो जेइज़े?”
26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”
ज़ैखन तैनी सूबेदारे एन शुनू त तै फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे कां जेव, “तू कुन ज़ोतस? ए त अक रोमी मैनूए।”
27 The chief captain came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” Paul said, “Yes.”
फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे पौलुसे कां एइतां पुच़्छ़ू, “कुन तू रोमीस?” तैनी ज़ोवं, “हाँ।”
28 The chief captain answered, “It was only with a large amount of money that I acquired citizenship.” But Paul said, “I was born a Roman citizen.”
इन शुन्तां फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे ज़ोवं, “कि मीं रोमी भोनेरी पदवी बड़े पेंइसे देइतां हासिल कियोरीए।” ते पौलुसे ज़ोवं, “पन अवं त ज़र्मनेरो रोमी।”
29 Then the men who were going to question him left him immediately. The chief captain also was afraid, when he learned that Paul was a Roman citizen, because he had tied him up.
ज़ैना लोक पौलुसेरू बियांन घिन्ने बाले थिये, तैना नेश्शी जे, फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे भी इन बुझ़तां कि ई रोमीए, ते तैनी तै बंधो, ते डेरि जेव।
30 On the next day, the chief captain wanted to know the truth about the Jews' accusations against Paul. So he untied his bonds and ordered the chief priests and all the council to meet. Then he brought Paul down and placed him in their midst.
होरसां तै ठीक-ठीक ज़ान्नेरी इच्छा सेइं कि यहूदी तैस पुड़ किजो दोष लातन, एल्हेरेलेइ तैनी तै खोल्लो, ते प्रधान याजक ते सारी महासभा अकोट्ठी केरनेरो हुक्म दित्तो, ते पौलुस बुन गेइतां तैन केरे सामने खड़ो कियो।
