preritāḥ 16

1 paulo darbbīlustrānagarayorupasthitobhavat tatra tīmathiyanāmā śiṣya eka āsīt; sa viśvāsinyā yihūdīyāyā yoṣito garbbhajātaḥ kintu tasya pitānyadeśīyalokaḥ|

And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.

2 sa jano lustrā-ikaniyanagarasthānāṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ samīpepi sukhyātimān āsīt|

The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

3 paulastaṁ svasaṅginaṁ karttuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā taṁ gṛhītvā taddeśanivāsināṁ yihūdīyānām anurodhāt tasya tvakchedaṁ kṛtavān yatastasya pitā bhinnadeśīyaloka iti sarvvairajñāyata|

Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 tataḥ paraṁ te nagare nagare bhramitvā yirūśālamasthaiḥ preritai rlokaprācīnaiśca nirūpitaṁ yad vyavasthāpatraṁ tadanusāreṇācarituṁ lokebhyastad dattavantaḥ|

And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

5 tenaiva sarvve dharmmasamājāḥ khrīṣṭadharmme susthirāḥ santaḥ pratidinaṁ varddhitā abhavan|

So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 teṣu phrugiyāgālātiyādeśamadhyena gateṣu satsu pavitra ātmā tān āśiyādeśe kathāṁ prakāśayituṁ pratiṣiddhavān|

And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

7 tathā musiyādeśa upasthāya bithuniyāṁ gantuṁ tairudyoge kṛte ātmā tān nānvamanyata|

and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;

8 tasmāt te musiyādeśaṁ parityajya troyānagaraṁ gatvā samupasthitāḥ|

and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 rātrau paulaḥ svapne dṛṣṭavān eko mākidaniyalokastiṣṭhan vinayaṁ kṛtvā tasmai kathayati, mākidaniyādeśam āgatyāsmān upakurvviti|

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10 tasyetthaṁ svapnadarśanāt prabhustaddeśīyalokān prati susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum asmān āhūyatīti niścitaṁ buddhvā vayaṁ tūrṇaṁ mākidaniyādeśaṁ gantum udyogam akurmma|

And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.

11 tataḥ paraṁ vayaṁ troyānagarād prasthāya ṛjumārgeṇa sāmathrākiyopadvīpena gatvā pare'hani niyāpalinagara upasthitāḥ|

Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

12 tasmād gatvā mākidaniyāntarvvartti romīyavasatisthānaṁ yat philipīnāmapradhānanagaraṁ tatropasthāya katipayadināni tatra sthitavantaḥ|

and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.

13 viśrāmavāre nagarād bahi rgatvā nadītaṭe yatra prārthanācāra āsīt tatropaviśya samāgatā nārīḥ prati kathāṁ prācārayāma|

And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.

14 tataḥ thuyātīrānagarīyā dhūṣarāmbaravikrāyiṇī ludiyānāmikā yā īśvarasevikā yoṣit śrotrīṇāṁ madhya āsīt tayā pauloktavākyāni yad gṛhyante tadarthaṁ prabhustasyā manodvāraṁ muktavān|

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.

15 ataḥ sā yoṣit saparivārā majjitā satī vinayaṁ kṛtvā kathitavatī, yuṣmākaṁ vicārād yadi prabhau viśvāsinī jātāhaṁ tarhi mama gṛham āgatya tiṣṭhata| itthaṁ sā yatnenāsmān asthāpayat|

And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 yasyā gaṇanayā tadadhipatīnāṁ bahudhanopārjanaṁ jātaṁ tādṛśī gaṇakabhūtagrastā kācana dāsī prārthanāsthānagamanakāla āgatyāsmān sākṣāt kṛtavatī|

And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

17 sāsmākaṁ paulasya ca paścād etya proccaiḥ kathāmimāṁ kathitavatī, manuṣyā ete sarvvoparisthasyeśvarasya sevakāḥ santo'smān prati paritrāṇasya mārgaṁ prakāśayanti|

The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

18 sā kanyā bahudināni tādṛśam akarot tasmāt paulo duḥkhitaḥ san mukhaṁ parāvartya taṁ bhūtamavadad, ahaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā tvāmājñāpayāmi tvamasyā bahirgaccha; tenaiva tatkṣaṇāt sa bhūtastasyā bahirgataḥ|

And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

19 tataḥ sveṣāṁ lābhasya pratyāśā viphalā jāteti vilokya tasyāḥ prabhavaḥ paulaṁ sīlañca dhṛtvākṛṣya vicārasthāne'dhipatīnāṁ samīpam ānayan|

But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,

20 tataḥ śāsakānāṁ nikaṭaṁ nītvā romilokā vayam asmākaṁ yad vyavaharaṇaṁ grahītum ācarituñca niṣiddhaṁ,

and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 ime yihūdīyalokāḥ santopi tadeva śikṣayitvā nagare'smākam atīva kalahaṁ kurvvanti,

and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

22 iti kathite sati lokanivahastayoḥ prātikūlyenodatiṣṭhat tathā śāsakāstayo rvastrāṇi chitvā vetrāghātaṁ karttum ājñāpayan|

And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.

23 aparaṁ te tau bahu prahāryya tvametau kārāṁ nītvā sāvadhānaṁ rakṣayeti kārārakṣakam ādiśan|

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24 ittham ājñāṁ prāpya sa tāvabhyantarasthakārāṁ nītvā pādeṣu pādapāśībhi rbaddhvā sthāpitāvān|

who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 atha niśīthasamaye paulasīlāvīśvaramuddiśya prāthanāṁ gānañca kṛtavantau, kārāsthitā lokāśca tadaśṛṇvan

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

26 tadākasmāt mahān bhūmikampo'bhavat tena bhittimūlena saha kārā kampitābhūt tatkṣaṇāt sarvvāṇi dvārāṇi muktāni jātāni sarvveṣāṁ bandhanāni ca muktāni|

and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 ataeva kārārakṣako nidrāto jāgaritvā kārāyā dvārāṇi muktāni dṛṣṭvā bandilokāḥ palāyitā ityanumāya koṣāt khaṅgaṁ bahiḥ kṛtvātmaghātaṁ karttum udyataḥ|

And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 kintu paulaḥ proccaistamāhūya kathitavān paśya vayaṁ sarvve'trāsmahe, tvaṁ nijaprāṇahiṁsāṁ mākārṣīḥ|

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 tadā pradīpam ānetum uktvā sa kampamānaḥ san ullampyābhyantaram āgatya paulasīlayoḥ pādeṣu patitavān|

And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 paścāt sa tau bahirānīya pṛṣṭavān he mahecchau paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ?

and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 paścāt tau svagṛhamānīya tayoḥ sammukhe khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvve parivārāśceśvare viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

32 tasmai tasya gṛhasthitasarvvalokebhyaśca prabhoḥ kathāṁ kathitavantau|

And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

33 tathā rātrestasminneva daṇḍe sa tau gṛhītvā tayoḥ prahārāṇāṁ kṣatāni prakṣālitavān tataḥ sa svayaṁ tasya sarvve parijanāśca majjitā abhavan|

And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.

34 paścāt tau svagṛhamānīya tayoḥ sammukhe khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvve parivārāśceśvare viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|

And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

35 dina upasthite tau lokau mocayeti kathāṁ kathayituṁ śāsakāḥ padātigaṇaṁ preṣitavantaḥ|

But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 tataḥ kārārakṣakaḥ paulāya tāṁ vārttāṁ kathitavān yuvāṁ tyājayituṁ śāsakā lokāna preṣitavanta idānīṁ yuvāṁ bahi rbhūtvā kuśalena pratiṣṭhetāṁ|

And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.

37 kintu paulastān avadat romilokayorāvayoḥ kamapi doṣam na niścitya sarvveṣāṁ samakṣam āvāṁ kaśayā tāḍayitvā kārāyāṁ baddhavanta idānīṁ kimāvāṁ guptaṁ vistrakṣyanti? tanna bhaviṣyati, svayamāgatyāvāṁ bahiḥ kṛtvā nayantu|

But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

38 tadā padātibhiḥ śāsakebhya etadvārttāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ tau romilokāviti kathāṁ śrutvā te bhītāḥ

And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;

39 santastayoḥ sannidhimāgatya vinayam akurvvan aparaṁ bahiḥ kṛtvā nagarāt prasthātuṁ prārthitavantaḥ|

and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.

40 tatastau kārāyā nirgatya ludiyāyā gṛhaṁ gatavantau tatra bhrātṛgaṇaṁ sākṣātkṛtya tān sāntvayitvā tasmāt sthānāt prasthitau|

And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
