preritāḥ 11

1 itthaṁ bhinnadeśīyalokā apīśvarasya vākyam agṛhlan imāṁ vārttāṁ yihūdīyadeśasthapreritā bhrātṛgaṇaśca śrutavantaḥ|

Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.

2 tataḥ pitare yirūśālamnagaraṁ gatavati tvakchedino lokāstena saha vivadamānā avadan,

When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

3 tvam atvakchedilokānāṁ gṛhaṁ gatvā taiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuktavān|

saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."

4 tataḥ pitara āditaḥ kramaśastatkāryyasya sarvvavṛttāntamākhyātum ārabdhavān|

But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

5 yāphonagara ekadāhaṁ prārthayamāno mūrcchitaḥ san darśanena caturṣu koṇeṣu lambanamānaṁ vṛhadvastramiva pātramekam ākāśadavaruhya mannikaṭam āgacchad apaśyam|

"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

6 paścāt tad ananyadṛṣṭyā dṛṣṭvā vivicya tasya madhye nānāprakārān grāmyavanyapaśūn urogāmikhecarāṁśca dṛṣṭavān;

When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.

7 he pitara tvamutthāya gatvā bhuṁkṣva māṁ sambodhya kathayantaṁ śabdamekaṁ śrutavāṁśca|

I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'

8 tatohaṁ pratyavadaṁ, he prabho netthaṁ bhavatu, yataḥ kiñcana niṣiddham aśuci dravyaṁ vā mama mukhamadhyaṁ kadāpi na prāviśat|

But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'

9 aparam īśvaro yat śuci kṛtavān tanniṣiddhaṁ na jānīhi dvi rmāmpratīdṛśī vihāyasīyā vāṇī jātā|

But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'

10 triritthaṁ sati tat sarvvaṁ punarākāśam ākṛṣṭaṁ|

This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

11 paścāt kaisariyānagarāt trayo janā mannikaṭaṁ preṣitā yatra niveśane sthitohaṁ tasmin samaye tatropātiṣṭhan|

And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

12 tadā niḥsandehaṁ taiḥ sārddhaṁ yātum ātmā māmādiṣṭavān; tataḥ paraṁ mayā sahaiteṣu ṣaḍbhrātṛṣu gateṣu vayaṁ tasya manujasya gṛhaṁ prāviśāma|

The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.

13 sosmākaṁ nikaṭe kathāmetām akathayat ekadā dūta ekaḥ pratyakṣībhūya mama gṛhamadhye tiṣṭan māmityājñāpitavān, yāphonagaraṁ prati lokān prahitya pitaranāmnā vikhyātaṁ śimonam āhūyaya;

He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

14 tatastava tvadīyaparivārāṇāñca yena paritrāṇaṁ bhaviṣyati tat sa upadekṣyati|

who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'

15 ahaṁ tāṁ kathāmutthāpya kathitavān tena prathamam asmākam upari yathā pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān tathā teṣāmapyupari samavarūḍhavān|

As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

16 tena yohan jale majjitavān iti satyaṁ kintu yūyaṁ pavitra ātmani majjitā bhaviṣyatha, iti yadvākyaṁ prabhuruditavān tat tadā mayā smṛtam|

I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'

17 ataḥ prabhā yīśukhrīṣṭe pratyayakāriṇo ye vayam asmabhyam īśvaro yad dattavān tat tebhyo lokebhyopi dattavān tataḥ kohaṁ? kimaham īśvaraṁ vārayituṁ śaknomi?

If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, who was I, that I could withstand God?"

18 kathāmetāṁ śruvā te kṣāntā īśvarasya guṇān anukīrttya kathitavantaḥ, tarhi paramāyuḥprāptinimittam īśvaronyadeśīyalokebhyopi manaḥparivarttanarūpaṁ dānam adāt|

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."

19 stiphānaṁ prati upadrave ghaṭite ye vikīrṇā abhavan tai phainīkīkuprāntiyakhiyāsu bhramitvā kevalayihūdīyalokān vinā kasyāpyanyasya samīpa īśvarasya kathāṁ na prācārayan|

They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

20 aparaṁ teṣāṁ kuprīyāḥ kurīnīyāśca kiyanto janā āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ gatvā yūnānīyalokānāṁ samīpepi prabhoryīśoḥ kathāṁ prācārayan|

But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.

21 prabhoḥ karasteṣāṁ sahāya āsīt tasmād aneke lokā viśvasya prabhuṁ prati parāvarttanta|

The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

22 iti vārttāyāṁ yirūśālamasthamaṇḍalīyalokānāṁ karṇagocarībhūtāyām āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ gantu te barṇabbāṁ prairayan|

And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,

23 tato barṇabbāstatra upasthitaḥ san īśvarasyānugrahasya phalaṁ dṛṣṭvā sānando jātaḥ,

who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.

24 sa svayaṁ sādhu rviśvāsena pavitreṇātmanā ca paripūrṇaḥ san ganoniṣṭayā prabhāvāsthāṁ karttuṁ sarvvān upadiṣṭavān tena prabhoḥ śiṣyā aneke babhūvuḥ|

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

25 śeṣe śaulaṁ mṛgayituṁ barṇabbāstārṣanagaraṁ prasthitavān| tatra tasyoddeśaṁ prāpya tam āntiyakhiyānagaram ānayat;

Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

26 tatastau maṇḍalīsthalokaiḥ sabhāṁ kṛtvā saṁvatsaramekaṁ yāvad bahulokān upādiśatāṁ; tasmin āntiyakhiyānagare śiṣyāḥ prathamaṁ khrīṣṭīyanāmnā vikhyātā abhavan|

When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called "Followers of the Messiah" in Antioch.

27 tataḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyadvādigaṇe yirūśālama āntiyakhiyānagaram āgate sati

Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 āgābanāmā teṣāmeka utthāya ātmanaḥ śikṣayā sarvvadeśe durbhikṣaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jñāpitavān; tataḥ klaudiyakaisarasyādhikāre sati tat pratyakṣam abhavat|

One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

29 tasmāt śiṣyā ekaikaśaḥ svasvaśaktyanusārato yihūdīyadeśanivāsināṁ bhratṛṇāṁ dinayāpanārthaṁ dhanaṁ preṣayituṁ niścitya

As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

30 barṇabbāśaulayo rdvārā prācīnalokānāṁ samīpaṁ tat preṣitavantaḥ|

which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
