prēritāḥ 1
1 hē thiyaphila, yīśuḥ svamanōnītān prēritān pavitrēṇātmanā samādiśya yasmin dinē svargamārōhat yāṁ yāṁ kriyāmakarōt yadyad upādiśacca tāni sarvvāṇi pūrvvaṁ mayā likhitāni|
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 sa svanidhanaduḥkhabhōgāt param anēkapratyayakṣapramāṇauḥ svaṁ sajīvaṁ darśayitvā
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 catvāriṁśaddināni yāvat tēbhyaḥ prēritēbhyō darśanaṁ dattvēśvarīyarājyasya varṇanama akarōt|
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
4 anantaraṁ tēṣāṁ sabhāṁ kr̥tvā ityājñāpayat, yūyaṁ yirūśālamō'nyatra gamanamakr̥tvā yastin pitrāṅgīkr̥tē mama vadanāt kathā aśr̥ṇuta tatprāptim apēkṣya tiṣṭhata|
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 yōhan jalē majjitāvān kintvalpadinamadhyē yūyaṁ pavitra ātmani majjitā bhaviṣyatha|
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 paścāt tē sarvvē militvā tam apr̥cchan hē prabhō bhavān kimidānīṁ punarapi rājyam isrāyēlīyalōkānāṁ karēṣu samarpayiṣyati?
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 tataḥ sōvadat yān sarvvān kālān samayāṁśca pitā svavaśē'sthāpayat tān jñātr̥ṁ yuṣmākam adhikārō na jāyatē|
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 kintu yuṣmāsu pavitrasyātmana āvirbhāvē sati yūyaṁ śaktiṁ prāpya yirūśālami samastayihūdāśōmirōṇadēśayōḥ pr̥thivyāḥ sīmāṁ yāvad yāvantō dēśāstēṣu yarvvēṣu ca mayi sākṣyaṁ dāsyatha|
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 iti vākyamuktvā sa tēṣāṁ samakṣaṁ svargaṁ nītō'bhavat, tatō mēghamāruhya tēṣāṁ dr̥ṣṭēragōcarō'bhavat|
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 yasmin samayē tē vihāyasaṁ pratyananyadr̥ṣṭyā tasya tādr̥śam ūrdvvagamanam apaśyan tasminnēva samayē śuklavastrau dvau janau tēṣāṁ sannidhau daṇḍāyamānau kathitavantau,
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 hē gālīlīyalōkā yūyaṁ kimarthaṁ gagaṇaṁ prati nirīkṣya daṇḍāyamānāstiṣṭhatha? yuṣmākaṁ samīpāt svargaṁ nītō yō yīśustaṁ yūyaṁ yathā svargam ārōhantam adarśam tathā sa punaścāgamiṣyati|
who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 tataḥ paraṁ tē jaitunanāmnaḥ parvvatād viśrāmavārasya pathaḥ parimāṇam arthāt prāyēṇārddhakrōśaṁ durasthaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ parāvr̥tyāgacchan|
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 nagaraṁ praviśya pitarō yākūb yōhan āndriyaḥ philipaḥ thōmā barthajamayō mathirālphīyaputrō yākūb udyōgā śimōn yākūbō bhrātā yihūdā ētē sarvvē yatra sthānē pravasanti tasmin uparitanaprakōṣṭhē prāviśan|
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 paścād imē kiyatyaḥ striyaśca yīśō rmātā mariyam tasya bhrātaraścaitē sarvva ēkacittībhūta satataṁ vinayēna vinayēna prārthayanta|
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 tasmin samayē tatra sthānē sākalyēna viṁśatyadhikaśataṁ śiṣyā āsan| tataḥ pitarastēṣāṁ madhyē tiṣṭhan uktavān
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 hē bhrātr̥gaṇa yīśudhāriṇāṁ lōkānāṁ pathadarśakō yō yihūdāstasmin dāyūdā pavitra ātmā yāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa tasyāḥ pratyakṣībhavanasyāvaśyakatvam āsīt|
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 sa janō'smākaṁ madhyavarttī san asyāḥ sēvāyā aṁśam alabhata|
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 tadanantaraṁ kukarmmaṇā labdhaṁ yanmūlyaṁ tēna kṣētramēkaṁ krītam aparaṁ tasmin adhōmukhē bhr̥mau patitē sati tasyōdarasya vidīrṇatvāt sarvvā nāḍyō niragacchan|
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 ētāṁ kathāṁ yirūśālamnivāsinaḥ sarvvē lōkā vidānti; tēṣāṁ nijabhāṣayā tatkṣētrañca hakaldāmā, arthāt raktakṣētramiti vikhyātamāstē|
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 anyacca, nikētanaṁ tadīyantu śunyamēva bhaviṣyati| tasya dūṣyē nivāsārthaṁ kōpi sthāsyati naiva hi| anya ēva janastasya padaṁ saṁprāpsyati dhruvaṁ| itthaṁ gītapustakē likhitamāstē|
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 atō yōhanō majjanam ārabhyāsmākaṁ samīpāt prabhō ryīśōḥ svargārōhaṇadinaṁ yāvat sōsmākaṁ madhyē yāvanti dināni yāpitavān
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 tāvanti dināni yē mānavā asmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhanti tēṣām ēkēna janēnāsmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ yīśōrutthānē sākṣiṇā bhavitavyaṁ|
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 atō yasya rūḍhi ryuṣṭō yaṁ barśabbētyuktvāhūyanti sa yūṣaph matathiśca dvāvētau pr̥thak kr̥tvā ta īśvarasya sannidhau prāryya kathitavantaḥ,
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 hē sarvvāntaryyāmin paramēśvara, yihūdāḥ sēvanaprēritatvapadacyutaḥ
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 san nijasthānam agacchat, tatpadaṁ labdhum ēnayō rjanayō rmadhyē bhavatā kō'bhirucitastadasmān darśyatāṁ|
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 tatō guṭikāpāṭē kr̥tē matathirniracīyata tasmāt sōnyēṣām ēkādaśānāṁ praritānāṁ madhyē gaṇitōbhavat|
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
