Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
| ہے پِترِگَنا ہے بھْراترِگَناح، اِدانِیں مَمَ نِویدَنے سَمَوَدھَتَّ۔ |
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
| تَدا سَ اِبْرِییَبھاشَیا کَتھاں کَتھَیَتِیتِ شْرُتْوا سَرْوّے لوکا اَتِیوَ نِحشَبْدا سَنْتوتِشْٹھَنْ۔ |
3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.
| پَشْچاتْ سوکَتھَیَدْ اَہَں یِہُودِییَ اِتِ نِشْچَیَح کِلِکِیادیشَسْیَ تارْشَنَگَرَں مَمَ جَنْمَبھُومِح،ایتَنَّگَرِییَسْیَ گَمِلِیییلَنامْنودھْیاپَکَسْیَ شِشْیو بھُوتْوا پُورْوَّپُرُشاناں وِدھِوْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ سَمْپُورْنَرُوپینَ شِکْشِتوبھَوَمْ اِدانِینْتَنا یُویَں یادرِشا بھَوَتھَ تادرِشوہَمَپِیشْوَرَسیوایامْ اُدْیوگِی جاتَح۔ |
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
| مَتَمیتَدْ دْوِشْٹْوا تَدْگْراہِنارِیپُرُشانْ کارایاں بَدّھوا تیشاں پْرانَناشَپَرْیَّنْتاں وِپَکْشَتامْ اَکَرَوَمْ۔ |
5 as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
| مَہایاجَکَح سَبھاسَدَح پْراچِینَلوکاشْچَ مَمَیتَسْیاح کَتھایاح پْرَمانَں داتُں شَکْنُوَنْتِ، یَسْماتْ تیشاں سَمِیپادْ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَنِواسِبھْراترِگَنارْتھَمْ آجْناپَتْرانِ گرِہِیتْوا یے تَتْرَ سْتھِتاسْتانْ دَنْڈَیِتُں یِرُوشالَمَمْ آنَیَنارْتھَں دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَں گَتوسْمِ۔ |
6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
| کِنْتُ گَچّھَنْ تَنَّگَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَں پْراپْتَوانْ تَدا دْوِتِییَپْرَہَرَویلایاں سَتْیامْ اَکَسْمادْ گَگَنانِّرْگَتْیَ مَہَتِی دِیپْتِ رْمَمَ چَتُرْدِشِ پْرَکاشِتَوَتِی۔ |
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
| تَتو مَیِ بھُومَو پَتِتے سَتِ، ہے شَولَ ہے شَولَ کُتو ماں تاڈَیَسِ؟ مامْپْرَتِ بھاشِتَ ایتادرِشَ ایکو رَووپِ مَیا شْرُتَح۔ |
8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
| تَداہَں پْرَتْیَوَدَں، ہے پْرَبھے کو بھَوانْ؟ تَتَح سووادِیتْ یَں تْوَں تاڈَیَسِ سَ ناسَرَتِییو یِیشُرَہَں۔ |
9 “Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
| مَمَ سَنْگِنو لوکاسْتاں دِیپْتِں درِشْٹْوا بھِیَں پْراپْتاح، کِنْتُ مامْپْرَتْیُدِتَں تَدْواکْیَں تے نابُدھْیَنْتَ۔ |
10 I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
| تَتَح پَرَں پرِشْٹَوانَہَں، ہے پْرَبھو مَیا کِں کَرْتَّوْیَں؟ تَتَح پْرَبھُرَکَتھَیَتْ، اُتّھایَ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَں یاہِ تْوَیا یَدْیَتْ کَرْتَّوْیَں نِرُوپِتَماسْتے تَتْ تَتْرَ تْوَں جْناپَیِشْیَسے۔ |
11 When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
| اَنَنْتَرَں تَسْیاح کھَرَتَرَدِیپْتیح کارَناتْ کِمَپِ نَ درِشْٹْوا سَنْگِگَنینَ دھرِتَہَسْتَح سَنْ دَمّیشَکَنَگَرَں وْرَجِتَوانْ۔ |
12 “One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
| تَنَّگَرَنِواسِناں سَرْوّیشاں یِہُودِییاناں مانْیو وْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ بھَکْتَشْچَ ہَنانِییَناما مانَوَ ایکو |
13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
| مَمَ سَنِّدھِمْ ایتْیَ تِشْٹھَنْ اَکَتھَیَتْ، ہے بھْراتَح شَولَ سُدرِشْٹِ رْبھَوَ تَسْمِنْ دَنْڈےہَں سَمْیَکْ تَں درِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
14 He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
| تَتَح سَ مَہْیَں کَتھِتَوانْ یَتھا تْوَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیابھِپْرایَں ویتْسِ تَسْیَ شُدّھَسَتّوَجَنَسْیَ دَرْشَنَں پْراپْیَ تَسْیَ شْرِیمُکھَسْیَ واکْیَں شرِنوشِ تَنِّمِتَّمْ اَسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشانامْ اِیشْوَرَسْتْواں مَنونِیتَں کرِتَوانَں۔ |
15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
| یَتو یَدْیَدْ اَدْراکْشِیرَشْرَوشِیشْچَ سَرْوّیشاں مانَواناں سَمِیپے تْوَں تیشاں ساکْشِی بھَوِشْیَسِ۔ |
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
| اَتَایوَ کُتو وِلَمْبَسے؟ پْرَبھو رْنامْنا پْرارْتھْیَ نِجَپاپَپْرَکْشالَنارْتھَں مَجَّنایَ سَمُتِّشْٹھَ۔ |
17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
| تَتَح پَرَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں پْرَتْیاگَتْیَ مَنْدِرےہَمْ ایکَدا پْرارْتھَیے، تَسْمِنْ سَمَیےہَمْ اَبھِبھُوتَح سَنْ پْرَبھُوں ساکْشاتْ پَشْیَنْ، |
18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
| تْوَں تْوَرَیا یِرُوشالَمَح پْرَتِشْٹھَسْوَ یَتو لوکامَیِ تَوَ ساکْشْیَں نَ گْرَہِیشْیَنْتِ، مامْپْرَتْیُدِتَں تَسْییدَں واکْیَمْ اَشْرَوشَمْ۔ |
19 I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
| تَتوہَں پْرَتْیَوادِشَمْ ہے پْرَبھو پْرَتِبھَجَنَبھَوَنَں تْوَیِ وِشْواسِنو لوکانْ بَدّھوا پْرَہرِتَوانْ، |
20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
| تَتھا تَوَ ساکْشِنَح سْتِپھانَسْیَ رَکْتَپاتَنَسَمَیے تَسْیَ وِناشَں سَمَّنْیَ سَنِّدھَو تِشْٹھَنْ ہَنْترِلوکاناں واساںسِ رَکْشِتَوانْ، ایتَتْ تے وِدُح۔ |
21 “He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”
| تَتَح سوکَتھَیَتْ پْرَتِشْٹھَسْوَ تْواں دُورَسْتھَبھِنَّدیشِییاناں سَمِیپَں پْریشَیِشْیے۔ |
22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
| تَدا لوکا ایتاوَتْپَرْیَّنْتاں تَدِییاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا پْروچَّیرَکَتھَیَنْ، اینَں بھُومَنْڈَلادْ دُورِیکُرُتَ، ایتادرِشَجَنَسْیَ جِیوَنَں نوچِتَمْ۔ |
23 As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
| اِتْیُچَّیح کَتھَیِتْوا وَسَنانِ پَرِتْیَجْیَ گَگَنَں پْرَتِ دھُولِیرَکْشِپَنْ |
24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
| تَتَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح پَولَں دُرْگابھْیَنْتَرَ نیتُں سَمادِشَتْ۔ ایتَسْیَ پْرَتِکُولاح سَنْتو لوکاح کِنِّمِتَّمْ ایتاوَدُچَّیحسْوَرَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ، ایتَدْ ویتُّں تَں کَشَیا پْرَہرِتْیَ تَسْیَ پَرِیکْشاں کَرْتُّمادِشَتْ۔ |
25 When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
| پَداتَیَشْچَرْمَّنِرْمِّتَرَجُّبھِسْتَسْیَ بَنْدھَنَں کَرْتُّمُدْیَتاسْتاسْتَدانِیں پَولَح سَمُّکھَسْتھِتَں شَتَسیناپَتِمْ اُکْتَوانْ دَنْڈاجْنایامْ اَپْراپْتایاں کِں رومِلوکَں پْرَہَرْتُّں یُشْماکَمْ اَدھِکاروسْتِ؟ |
26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
| ایناں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا سَ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتیح سَنِّدھِں گَتْوا تاں وارْتّامَوَدَتْ سَ رومِلوکَ ایتَسْماتْ ساوَدھانَح سَنْ کَرْمَّ کُرُ۔ |
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
| تَسْماتْ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِ رْگَتْوا تَمَپْراکْشِیتْ تْوَں کِں رومِلوکَح؟ اِتِ ماں بْرُوہِ۔ سوکَتھَیَتْ سَتْیَمْ۔ |
28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
| تَتَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح کَتھِتَوانْ بَہُدْرَوِنَں دَتّواہَں تَتْ پَورَسَکھْیَں پْراپْتَوانْ؛ کِنْتُ پَولَح کَتھِتَوانْ اَہَں جَنُنا تَتْ پْراپْتوسْمِ۔ |
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
| اِتّھَں سَتِ یے پْرَہارینَ تَں پَرِیکْشِتُں سَمُدْیَتا آسَنْ تے تَسْیَ سَمِیپاتْ پْراتِشْٹھَنْتَ؛ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِسْتَں رومِلوکَں وِجْنایَ سْوَیَں یَتْ تَسْیَ بَنْدھَنَمْ اَکارْشِیتْ تَتْکارَنادْ اَبِبھیتْ۔ |
30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
| یِہُودِییَلوکاح پَولَں کُتوپَوَدَنْتے تَسْیَ ورِتّانْتَں جْناتُں وانْچھَنْ سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِح پَرےہَنِ پَولَں بَنْدھَناتْ موچَیِتْوا پْرَدھانَیاجَکانْ مَہاسَبھایاح سَرْوَّلوکاشْچَ سَمُپَسْتھاتُمْ آدِشْیَ تیشاں سَنِّدھَو پَولَمْ اَوَروہْیَ سْتھاپِتَوانْ۔ |
