پْریرِتاح 15

1 یِہُودادیشاتْ کِیَنْتو جَنا آگَتْیَ بھْراترِگَنَمِتّھَں شِکْشِتَوَنْتو مُوساوْیَوَسْتھَیا یَدِ یُشْماکَں تْوَکْچھیدو نَ بھَوَتِ تَرْہِ یُویَں پَرِتْرانَں پْراپْتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ۔

Then some men arrived from Judea who started teaching the believers, “Unless you're circumcised according to the rules set down by Moses, you can't be saved.”

2 پَولَبَرْنَبَّو تَیح سَہَ بَہُونْ وِچارانْ وِواداںشْچَ کرِتَوَنْتَو، تَتو مَنْڈَلِییَنوکا ایتَسْیاح کَتھایاسْتَتّوَں جْناتُں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَسْتھانْ پْریرِتانْ پْراچِیناںشْچَ پْرَتِ پَولَبَرْنَبّاپْرَبھرِتِینْ کَتِپَیَجَنانْ پْریشَیِتُں نِشْچَیَں کرِتَوَنْتَح۔

Paul and Barnabas had many arguments and debates with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go to Jerusalem and talk to the apostles and leaders there about this issue.

3 تے مَنْڈَلْیا پْریرِتاح سَنْتَح پھَینِیکِیشومِرونْدیشابھْیاں گَتْوا بھِنَّدیشِییاناں مَنَحپَرِوَرْتَّنَسْیَ وارْتَّیا بھْراترِناں پَرَماہْلادَمْ اَجَنَیَنْ۔

The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they explained how foreigners were being converted, which made all the believers very happy.

4 یِرُوشالَمْیُپَسْتھایَ پْریرِتَگَنینَ لوکَپْراچِینَگَنینَ سَماجینَ چَ سَمُپَگرِہِیتاح سَنْتَح سْوَیرِیشْوَرو یانِ کَرْمّانِ کرِتَوانْ تیشاں سَرْوَّورِتّانْتانْ تیشاں سَمَکْشَمْ اَکَتھَیَنْ۔

When they arrived in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church members, the apostles, and the elders. They explained everything God had done through them.

5 کِنْتُ وِشْواسِنَح کِیَنْتَح پھِرُوشِمَتَگْراہِنو لوکا اُتّھایَ کَتھامیتاں کَتھِتَوَنْتو بھِنَّدیشِییاناں تْوَکْچھیدَں کَرْتُّں مُوساوْیَوَسْتھاں پالَیِتُنْچَ سَمادیشْٹَوْیَمْ۔

But they were opposed by some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee faction. They said, “These converts have to be circumcised, and instructed to observe the law of Moses.”

6 تَتَح پْریرِتا لوکَپْراچِیناشْچَ تَسْیَ وِویچَناں کَرْتُّں سَبھایاں سْتھِتَوَنْتَح۔

The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.

7 بَہُوِچاریشُ جاتَشُ پِتَرَ اُتّھایَ کَتھِتَوانْ، ہے بھْراتَرو یَتھا بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکا مَمَ مُکھاتْ سُسَںوادَں شْرُتْوا وِشْوَسَنْتِ تَدَرْتھَں بَہُدِناتْ پُورْوَّمْ اِیشْوَروسْماکَں مَدھْیے ماں ورِتْوا نِیُکْتَوانْ۔

After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me from among you so that the foreigners could hear the message of good news and trust in Jesus.

8 اَنْتَرْیّامِیشْوَرو یَتھاسْمَبھْیَں تَتھا بھِنَّدیشِیییبھْیَح پَوِتْرَماتْمانَں پْرَدایَ وِشْواسینَ تیشامْ اَنْتَحکَرَنانِ پَوِتْرانِ کرِتْوا

God, who knows thewhat we're thinking, has shown that he accepts them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.

9 تیشامْ اَسْماکَنْچَ مَدھْیے کِمَپِ وِشیشَں نَ سْتھاپَیِتْوا تانَدھِ سْوَیَں پْرَمانَں دَتَّوانْ اِتِ یُویَں جانِیتھَ۔

He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.

10 اَتَایواسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشا وَیَنْچَ سْوَیَں یَدْیُگَسْیَ بھارَں سوڈھُں نَ شَکْتاح سَمْپْرَتِ تَں شِشْیَگَنَسْیَ سْکَنْدھیشُ نْیَسِتُں کُتَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پَرِیکْشاں کَرِشْیَتھَ؟

So why do you want to oppose God and put a burden on the believers that our fathers weren't able to bear, and we can't either?

11 پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیانُگْرَہینَ تے یَتھا وَیَمَپِ تَتھا پَرِتْرانَں پْراپْتُمْ آشاں کُرْمَّح۔

We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”

12 اَنَنْتَرَں بَرْنَبّاپَولابھْیامْ اِیشْوَرو بھِنَّدیشِییاناں مَدھْیے یَدْیَدْ آشْچَرْیَّمْ اَدْبھُتَنْچَ کَرْمَّ کرِتَوانْ تَدْورِتّانْتَں تَو سْوَمُکھابھْیامْ اَوَرْنَیَتاں سَبھاسْتھاح سَرْوّے نِیرَواح سَنْتَح شْرُتَوَنْتَح۔

Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.

13 تَیوح کَتھایاں سَماپْتایاں سَتْیاں یاکُوبْ کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبْدھَوانْ

After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.

14 ہے بھْراتَرو مَمَ کَتھایامْ مَنو نِدھَتَّ۔ اِیشْوَرَح سْوَنامارْتھَں بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکانامْ مَدھْیادْ ایکَں لوکَسَںگھَں گْرَہِیتُں مَتِں کرِتْوا یینَ پْرَکارینَ پْرَتھَمَں تانْ پْرَتِ کرِپاوَلیکَنَں کرِتَوانْ تَں شِمونْ وَرْنِتَوانْ۔

Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.

15 بھَوِشْیَدْوادِبھِرُکْتانِ یانِ واکْیانِ تَیح سارْدّھَمْ ایتَسْیَیکْیَں بھَوَتِ یَتھا لِکھِتَماسْتے۔

This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,

16 سَرْوّیشاں کَرْمَّناں یَسْتُ سادھَکَح پَرَمیشْوَرَح۔ سَ ایویدَں وَدیدْواکْیَں شیشاح سَکَلَمانَواح۔ بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکاشْچَ یاوَنْتو مَمَ نامَتَح۔ بھَوَنْتِ ہِ سُوِکھْیاتاسْتے یَتھا پَرَمیشِتُح۔

‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.

17 تَتْوَں سَمْیَکْ سَمِیہَنْتے تَنِّمِتَّمَہَں کِلَ۔ پَراورِتْیَ سَماگَتْیَ دایُودَح پَتِتَں پُنَح۔ دُوشْیَمُتّھاپَیِشْیامِ تَدِییَں سَرْوَّوَسْتُ چَ۔ پَتِتَں پُنَرُتھاپْیَ سَجَّیِشْیامِ سَرْوَّتھا۔۔

I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.

18 آ پْرَتھَمادْ اِیشْوَرَح سْوِییانِ سَرْوَّکَرْمّانِ جاناتِ۔ (aiōn g165)

This is what the Lord says, who revealed these things long ago.’ (aiōn g165)

19 اَتَایوَ مَمَ نِویدَنَمِدَں بھِنَّدیشِییَلوکاناں مَدھْیے یے جَنا اِیشْوَرَں پْرَتِ پَراوَرْتَّنْتَ تیشامُپَرِ اَنْیَں کَمَپِ بھارَں نَ نْیَسْیَ

So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.

20 دیوَتاپْرَساداشُچِبھَکْشْیَں وْیَبھِچارَکَرْمَّ کَنْٹھَسَمْپِیڈَنَمارِتَپْرانِبھَکْشْیَں رَکْتَبھَکْشْیَنْچَ ایتانِ پَرِتْیَکْتُں لِکھامَح۔

We should write to them and tell them to avoid food sacrificed to idols, sexual immorality, meat of animals that have been strangled, and from consuming blood.

21 یَتَح پُورْوَّکالَتو مُوساوْیَوَسْتھاپْرَچارِنو لوکا نَگَرے نَگَرے سَنْتِ پْرَتِوِشْرامَوارَنْچَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے تَسْیاح پاٹھو بھَوَتِ۔

For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

22 تَتَح پَرَں پْریرِتَگَنو لوکَپْراچِینَگَنَح سَرْوّا مَنْڈَلِی چَ سْویشاں مَدھْیے بَرْشَبّا نامْنا وِکھْیاتو مَنونِیتَو کرِتْوا پَولَبَرْنَبّابھْیاں سارْدّھَمْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَں پْرَتِ پْریشَنَمْ اُچِتَں بُدّھوا تابھْیاں پَتْرَں پْرَیشَیَنْ۔

Then the apostles and elders, together with the whole church, decided it would be good to choose some representatives and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers,

23 تَسْمِنْ پَتْرے لِکھِتَمِںدَ، آنْتِیَکھِیا-سُرِیا-کِلِکِیادیشَسْتھَبھِنَّدیشِییَبھْراترِگَنایَ پْریرِتَگَنَسْیَ لوکَپْراچِینَگَنَسْیَ بھْراترِگَنَسْیَ چَ نَمَسْکارَح۔

and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:

24 وِشیشَتوسْماکَمْ آجْنامْ اَپْراپْیاپِ کِیَنْتو جَنا اَسْماکَں مَدھْیادْ گَتْوا تْوَکْچھیدو مُوساوْیَوَسْتھا چَ پالَیِتَوْیاوِتِ یُشْمانْ شِکْشَیِتْوا یُشْماکَں مَنَسامَسْتھَیرْیَّں کرِتْوا یُشْمانْ سَسَنْدیہانْ اَکُرْوَّنْ ایتاں کَتھاں وَیَمْ اَشرِنْمَ۔

We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!

25 تَتْکارَنادْ وَیَمْ ایکَمَنْتْرَناح سَنْتَح سَبھایاں سْتھِتْوا پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ نامَنِمِتَّں مرِتْیُمُکھَگَتابھْیامَسْماکَں

So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,

26 پْرِیَبَرْنَبّاپَولابھْیاں سارْدّھَں مَنونِیتَلوکاناں کیشانْچِدْ یُشْماکَں سَنِّدھَو پْریشَنَمْ اُچِتَں بُدّھَوَنْتَح۔

who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 اَتو یِہُوداسِیلَو یُشْمانْ پْرَتِ پْریشِتَوَنْتَح، ایتَیو رْمُکھابھْیاں سَرْوّاں کَتھاں جْناسْیَتھَ۔

So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.

28 دیوَتاپْرَسادَبھَکْشْیَں رَکْتَبھَکْشْیَں گَلَپِیڈَنَمارِتَپْرانِبھَکْشْیَں وْیَبھِچارَکَرْمَّ چیمانِ سَرْوّانِ یُشْمابھِسْتْیاجْیانِ؛ ایتَتْپْرَیوجَنِییاجْناوْیَتِریکینَ یُشْماکَمْ اُپَرِ بھارَمَنْیَں نَ نْیَسِتُں پَوِتْرَسْیاتْمَنوسْماکَنْچَ اُچِتَجْنانَمْ اَبھَوَتْ۔

It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.

29 اَتَایوَ تیبھْیَح سَرْوّیبھْیَح سْویشُ رَکْشِتیشُ یُویَں بھَدْرَں کَرْمَّ کَرِشْیَتھَ۔ یُشْماکَں مَنْگَلَں بھُویاتْ۔

You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”

30 تے وِسرِشْٹاح سَنْتَ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَ اُپَسْتھایَ لوکَنِوَہَں سَںگرِہْیَ پَتْرَمْ اَدَدَنْ۔

The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.

31 تَتَسْتے تَتْپَتْرَں پَٹھِتْوا سانْتْوَناں پْراپْیَ سانَنْدا اَبھَوَنْ۔

After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.

32 یِہُوداسِیلَو چَ سْوَیَں پْرَچارَکَو بھُوتْوا بھْراترِگَنَں نانوپَدِشْیَ تانْ سُسْتھِرانْ اَکُرُتامْ۔

Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.

33 اِتّھَں تَو تَتْرَ تَیح ساکَں کَتِپَیَدِنانِ یاپَیِتْوا پَشْچاتْ پْریرِتاناں سَمِیپے پْرَتْیاگَمَنارْتھَں تیشاں سَنِّدھیح کَلْیانینَ وِسرِشْٹاوَبھَوَتاں۔

After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.

34 کِنْتُ سِیلَسْتَتْرَ سْتھاتُں وانْچھِتَوانْ۔

35 اَپَرَں پَولَبَرْنَبَّو بَہَوَح شِشْیاشْچَ لوکانْ اُپَدِشْیَ پْرَبھوح سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارَیَنْتَ آنْتِیَکھِیایاں کالَں یاپِتَوَنْتَح۔

But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.

36 کَتِپَیَدِنیشُ گَتیشُ پَولو بَرْنَبّامْ اَوَدَتْ آگَچّھاواں ییشُ نَگَریشْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارِتَوَنْتَو تانِ سَرْوَّنَگَرانِ پُنَرْگَتْوا بھْراتَرَح کِیدرِشاح سَنْتِیتِ دْرَشْٹُں تانْ ساکْشاتْ کُرْوَّح۔

Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”

37 تینَ مارْکَنامْنا وِکھْیاتَں یوہَنَں سَنْگِنَں کَرْتُّں بَرْنَبّا مَتِمَکَروتْ،

Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.

38 کِنْتُ سَ پُورْوَّں تابھْیاں سَہَ کارْیّارْتھَں نَ گَتْوا پامْپھُولِیادیشے تَو تْیَکْتَوانْ تَتْکارَناتْ پَولَسْتَں سَنْگِنَں کَرْتُّمْ اَنُچِتَں جْناتَوانْ۔

But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.

39 اِتّھَں تَیورَتِشَیَوِرودھَسْیوپَسْتھِتَتْواتْ تَو پَرَسْپَرَں پرِتھَگَبھَوَتاں تَتو بَرْنَبّا مارْکَں گرِہِیتْوا پوتینَ کُپْروپَدْوِیپَں گَتَوانْ؛

They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.

40 کِنْتُ پَولَح سِیلَں مَنونِیتَں کرِتْوا بھْراترِبھِرِیشْوَرانُگْرَہے سَمَرْپِتَح سَنْ پْرَسْتھایَ

Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.

41 سُرِیاکِلِکِیادیشابھْیاں مَنْڈَلِیح سْتھِرِیکُرْوَّنْ اَگَچّھَتْ۔

Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
