പ്രവൃത്തികൾ 16:1-5

1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

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

4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

1 അവൻ ദെർബ്ബെയിലും ലുസ്ത്രയിലും ചെന്നു. അവിടെ വിശ്വാസമുള്ളോരു യെഹൂദസ്ത്രീയുടെ മകനായി തിമൊഥെയൊസ് എന്നു പേരുള്ള ഒരു ശിഷ്യൻ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. അവന്റെ അപ്പൻ യവനനായിരുന്നു.
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

2 അവൻ ലുസ്ത്രയിലും ഇക്കോന്യയിലുമുള്ള സഹോദരന്മാരാൽ നല്ല സാക്ഷ്യം കൊണ്ടവൻ ആയിരുന്നു.
Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

3 അവൻ തന്നോടുകൂടെ പോരേണം എന്നു പൌലൊസ് ഇച്ഛിച്ചു; അവന്റെ അപ്പൻ യവനൻ എന്നു അവിടങ്ങളിലുള്ള യഹൂദന്മാർ എല്ലാവരും അറിഞ്ഞിരുന്നതിനാൽ അവരെ വിചാരിച്ചു അവനെ പരിച്ഛേദന കഴിപ്പിച്ചു.
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

4 അവർ പട്ടണം തോറും ചെന്നു യെരൂശലേമിലെ അപ്പൊസ്തലന്മാരും മൂപ്പന്മാരും വിധിച്ച നിർണ്ണയങ്ങൾ പ്രമാണിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു അവർക്കു ഏല്പിച്ചുകൊടുത്തു.
And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

5 അങ്ങനെ സഭകൾ വിശ്വാസത്തിൽ ഉറെക്കയും എണ്ണത്തിൽ ദിവസേന പെരുകുകയും ചെയ്തു.
And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
