Exodus 13
1 ଏହାପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ,
2 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ହେଉ କି ପଶୁ ହେଉ, ଯେ କହେି ପ୍ରଥମେ ଜାତ ହବେ, ସହେି ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ପ୍ରଦାନ କର, ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭର।
3 ମାଶାେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ଦିବସକୁ ମନେ ରଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମିଶର ରେ ଦାସ ଥିଲ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ମହାନ୍ ଶକ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଦିନ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଥିଲା। ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଡିଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ଭକ୍ଷଣ କରିବ।
4 ଆଜି ଆବୀବ୍ ମାସ ରେ ଏହି ଦିନ ରେ ବାହାର ହେଲେ।
5 ଆଉ ଯେତବେେଳେ କିଣାନୀଯ, ହିତ୍ତୀଯ, ଇ ମାରେୀଯ, ହିଦ୍ଦୀଯ ଓ ୟିବୂଷୀଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଯେଉଁ ଉନ୍ନତ ଦେଶ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦବୋକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଥିଲେ, ସହେି ଦେଶକୁ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦବେେ।
6 ସାତଦିନ ୟାଏ ତାଡୀଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ଖାଇବ। ଏବଂ ସପ୍ତମଦିନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ତାଙ୍କର ସମ୍ମାନାର୍ଥେ ଏକ ବଡ ଭୋଜିର ଆଯୋଜନ କରିବ।
7 ତେଣୁ ସାତଦିନ ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଡିଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ଖାଇବ। ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦେଶ ରେ କୌଣସିଠା ରେ ତାଡୀ ମିଶ୍ରୀତ ରୋଟୀ ଯେପରି କହେି ନଖାନ୍ତି।
8 ସହେିଦିନ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ କହିବ, 'ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ଭୋଜିର ଆଯୋଜନ କରିଛୁ ଯେ ହତେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭଛୁ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ମିଶରରୁ ଏହିଦିନ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଥିଲେ।'
9 ଏହି ପବିତ୍ର ଦିନଟିକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମନେ ରଖିବ। ଏହା ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭ ମୁଖ ରେ ରହିବ, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନ ସ୍ବରୂପ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ଓ ସ୍ମରଣର ଉପାଯ ସ୍ବରୂପ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଦ୍ବଯର ମଧ୍ଯସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ରହିବ। ଯେ ହତେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପରାକ୍ରାନ୍ତ ହସ୍ତଦ୍ବାରା ମିଶରଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣିଛନ୍ତି।
10 ତେଣୁ ଏହି ସ୍ମରଣୀଯ ଦିବସଟିକୁ ବିଧି ଅନୁସାରେ ପାଳନ କରିବ।
11 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସହେି ଦେଶକୁ ନଇେଯିବେ, ଯେ ହତେୁ ସେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଛନ୍ତି। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସଠାେରେ କିଣାନୀଯମାନେ ବାସ କରୁଛନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରିଥିଲେ ଯେ, ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସହେି ଦେଶ ଦବେେ।
12 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଗୋରୁଗାଈମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁଂପଶୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ଦବୋ ଉଚିତ୍।
13 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଷେଶାବକ ଦଇେ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ଗଧକୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିପାରିବ। ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୁକ୍ତ ନ କର, ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତା'ର ବକେକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି ଦବୋ ଉଚିତ୍। ତାହା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ବଳିଦାନ ହବେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଥମ ସନ୍ତାନ ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ।
14 ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସନ୍ତାନମାନେ ପଚାରିବେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି ଏପରି କରୁଛ? ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ପଚାରିବେ, 'ଏସବୁର ଅର୍ଥ କ'ଣ? ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉତ୍ତର ହବେ, 'ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ମହାନ ଶକ୍ତି ବଳ ରେ ମିଶରଠାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିଛନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସଠାେରେ ଦାସ ଥିଲୁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସଠାରୁେ ବାହାର କରି ଏଠାକୁ ନଇେ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି।
15 ମିଶର ରେ, ଫାରୋ ଥିଲେ ଅତି କଠାେର ମନା। ସେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ଦେଉନଥିଲେ, ତେଣୁ ସଠାେରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ, ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଥିଲେ। ସହେି କାରଣରୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପଶୁମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ଅଣ୍ଡିରା ପଶୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରୁ କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଥମଜାତ ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ ତାଙ୍କ ନିକଟରୁ କିଣି ଫରୋଇ ଆଣୁ।'
16 ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନ ସ୍ବରୂପେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ଓ ଭୂଷଣ ସ୍ବରୂପେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଦ୍ବଯର ମଧ୍ଯସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ରହିବ। ଯେ ହତେୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ବାହୁବଳ ରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମିଶରରୁ ବାହାର କରି ଆଣିଲେ।
17 ଏବଂ ତା'ପରେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଫାରୋ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମିଶର ଛାଡିବାକୁ ଦେଲେ, ଯଦିଓ ପଲେଷ୍ଟୀୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଦେଶକୁ ୟିବା ପାଇଁ ନିକଟ ବାଟ ଥିଲା, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ସେ ପଥରେ ନେଲେ ନାହିଁ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ଯଦି ଲୋକମାନେ ଏ ବାଟରେ ୟାଆନ୍ତି। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ହୁଏତ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ କରିବାକୁ ପଡିପା ରେ। ତବେେ ହୁଏତ ସମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କର ମତ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରି ପାରନ୍ତି ଓ ମିଶରକୁ ଫରେିୟାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି।
18 ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅନ୍ୟ ଏକ ପଥରେ ଆଗଇେ ନେଲେ। ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସୂପ ସମୁଦ୍ର ପ୍ରାନ୍ତର ମଧ୍ଯ ଦଇେ ଆଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ମିଶର ଛାଡିବା ସମୟରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟମାନେ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ପୋଷାକ ପରିଧାନ କରିଥିଲେ।
19 ମାଶାେ ଯୋଷଫଙ୍କେର ଅସ୍ତି ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ନଇେ ଆସିଲେ। ଯୋଷଫଙ୍କେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ସେ ତାଙ୍କର ପୁତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରାଇଥିଲେ, ଏପରି କରିବା ପାଇଁ। ଯୋଷଫେ କହିଥିଲେ, ଯେତବେେଳେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ। ମନରେଖ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାରେ ଅସ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ମିଶରରୁ ନଇୟିବେ।
20 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକମାନେ ସୁକ୍କୋତଠାରୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ଏଥମ ରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ଏଥମ ମରୁଭୂମି ନିକଟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ଥିଲା।
21 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଆଗକୁ ପଥ କଢାଇ ନେଲେ, ଦିନ ବେଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମେଘସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ଦ୍ବାରା ରାସ୍ତା ଦଖାଇେଲେ ଏବଂ ରାତି ରେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅଗ୍ନିସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ରେ ଆଗଇେ ନେଲେ।
22 ଦିନ ସମୟରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଘନ ବାଦଲ ଏ ରାତ୍ର ସମୟରେ ଆଲୋକ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ସର୍ବଦା ରଖିଲେ।
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
11 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the Lord’s.
13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
Acts 14 in Tamil and English
1 ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਇੱਕੋਨਿਯੁਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਤਦ ਇੱਕੋਦਿਯਾਮ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ। ਉੱਥੇ ਉਹ ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਸਥਾਨ ਤੇ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ ਉਹ ਹਰ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਕੇ ਇਵੇਂ ਹੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਇੰਨਾ ਵੱਧੀਆ ਬਚਨ ਕੀਤਾ ਕਿ ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਨਾਨੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਉੱਪਰ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕੀਤਾ।
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 ਪਰ ਕੁਝ ਯਹੂਦੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਨਾ ਕੀਤਾ, ਅਤੇ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਗੈਰ-ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਭੜਕਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਨਿਹਚਾਵਾਨਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਮਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਜ਼ਹਿਰ ਭਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3 ਇਸ ਦੇ ਬਾਵਜੂਦ, ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਬਹੁਤ ਦਿਨਾ ਲਈ ਇੱਕੋਨਿਯੁਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੁਕੇ ਅਤੇ ਨਿਰਭੈ ਹੋਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਬਾਰੇ ਬੋਲੇ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਬਾਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ। ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਕਰਾਮਾਤੀ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਅਚੰਭੇ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਯੋਗਤਾ ਦੇਕੇ ਸਾਬਤ ਕੀਤਾ।
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 ਪਰ ਨਗਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦਾ ਬਟਵਾਰਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ। ਕੁਝ ਲੋਕ ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਸਹਿਮਤ ਹੋਣ ਲੱਗੇ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਝ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਮੰਨਣ ਲੱਗੇ।
But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 ਕੁਝ ਗੈਰ-ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ, ਕੁਝ ਯਹੂਦੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਗੂਆਂ ਨੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਨੁਕਸਾਨ ਪਹੁੰਚਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕੀਤੀ ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੱਥਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਮਾਰ ਮੁਕਾਉਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ।
And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
6 ਜਦੋਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਪਤਾ ਲੱਗਾ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਨਗਰ ਛੱਡ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਲੁਕਾਉਨਿਯਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੁਸਤ੍ਰਾ ਅਤੇ ਦਰਬੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਦੇ ਇਲਾਕਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਚੱਲੇ ਗਏ।
They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
7 ਉੱਥੇ ਜਾਕੇ ਇਹ ਖੁਸ਼ਖਬਰੀ ਬਾਰੇ ਪਰਚਾਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਰਹੇ।
And there they preached the gospel.
8 ਪੌਲੁਸ-ਲੁਸਤ੍ਰਾ ਅਤੇ ਦਰਬੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੁਸਤ੍ਰਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਆਦਮੀ ਸੀ ਜਿਸਦੇ ਪੈਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ ਤਕਲੀਫ਼ ਸੀ। ਉਹ ਜਮਾਂਦਰੂ ਹੀ ਲੰਗੜਾ ਸੀ, ਉਸ ਨੇ ਕਦੇ ਚੱਲ ਕੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਵੇਖਿਆ।
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked:
9 ਇਹ ਆਦਮੀ ਉੱਥੇ ਬੈਠਾ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਦੇ ਬਚਨ ਸੁਣ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਤਾਂ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਤੇ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕੀਤਾ ਕਿ ਉਸ ਆਦਮੀ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਜ਼ੀ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹੈ
The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 ਇਸ ਲਈ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਉੱਚੀ ਬੋਲਿਆ, “ਆਪਣੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਖਲੋ ਜਾ।” ਉਹ ਆਦਮੀ ਉੱਥੋਂ ਕੁਦਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਚੱਲਣਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 ਜਦੋਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਨੂੰ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਲੁਕਾਉਣਿਯਾ ਦੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਚਿਲਾਉਣ ਲੱਗੇ, “ਦੇਵਤੇ ਮਾਨਵ ਦਾ ਰੂਪ ਧਾਰਕੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਕੋਲ ਆਏ ਹਨ।”
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਦਿਓਸ ਅਤੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਨੂੰ “ਹਰਮੇਸ” ਨਾਉਂ ਨਾਲ ਬੁਲਾਉਣਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕੀਤਾ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਇਹ ਬਚਨ ਕਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਗੂ ਸੀ।
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 ਦਿਓਸ ਦਾ ਮੰਦਰ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਹੀ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਮੰਦਰ ਦਾ ਜਾਜਕ ਕੁਝ ਬਲਦ ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ੁੱਲ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਦੇ ਫ਼ਾਟਕਾਂ ਤੇ ਲਿਆਇਆ। ਉਹ ਲੋਕ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਬਲੀਆਂ ਦੇਣਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ।
Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 ਪਰ ਜਦੋਂ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਰਸੂਲਾਂ ਨੇ ਇਹ ਸੁਣਿਆ ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਵਸਤਰ ਪਾੜੇ ਅਤੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਾਹਰ ਨੂੰ ਦੌੜ ਪਏ ਅਤੇ ਉੱਚੀ-ਉੱਚੀ ਚਿਲਾਉਣ ਲੱਗ ਪਏ,
Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 “ਹੇ ਪੁਰੱਖੋ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ? ਅਸੀਂ ਦੇਵਤੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਾਂ। ਅਸੀਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਹੀ ਵਰਗੇ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹਾਂ। ਅਸੀਂ ਇੱਥੇ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਖੁਸ਼ਖਬਰੀ ਦੱਸਣ ਆਏ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿਅਰਥ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਜਿਉਂਦੇ ਸੱਚੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਵੱਲ ਪਰਤਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹੀ ਹੈ ਜਿਸਨੇ ਅਕਾਸ਼ ਸਿਰਜਿਆ ਹੈ, ਧਰਤੀ, ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਸਾਰੀ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਜੀਵਨ ਸਿਰਜਿਆ ਹੈ।
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16 “ਪਿੱਛਲੇ ਸਮਿਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਕਰਨ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜੋ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਚਾਹਾ।
Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 ਪਰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਉਹ ਕਾਰਜ ਕੀਤੇ ਜੋ ਦਿਖਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਮੌਜੂਦ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਚੰਗੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਅਕਾਸ਼ ਤੋਂ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਬਰੱਖਾ ਕੀਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਸਹੀ ਵਕਤ ਤੇ ਫ਼ਸਲਾਂ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ। ਉਹ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਖਾਣ ਲਈ ਬੇਸ਼ੁਮਾਰ ਅਨਾਜ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਦਿਲ ਖੁਸ਼ੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਭਰਪੂਰ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ।”
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18 ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਕਹੀਆਂ, ਪਰ ਉਹ ਬੜੀ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਿਲ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲਈ ਬਲੀਆਂ ਦੇਣ ਤੋਂ ਰੋਕ ਸੱਕੇ।
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 ਫ਼ਿਰ ਕੁਝ ਯਹੂਦੀ ਅੰਤਾਕਿਯਾ ਅਤੇ ਇੱਕੁਨਿਯੁਮ ਤੋਂ ਆਏ, ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਦੇ ਵਿਰੁੱਧ ਹੋ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਉਕਸਾਇਆ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਤੇ ਪੱਥਰਾਵ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਸੋਚ ਕੇ ਧੂਹ ਕੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਹਰ ਸੁੱਟ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਕਿ ਉਹ ਮਰ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ।
And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
20 ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਚੇਲੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਦੇ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਇੱਕਤਰ ਹੋਏ, ਉਹ ਉੱਠਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਨਗਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਾਪਸ ਚੱਲਿਆ ਗਿਆ। ਅਗਲੇ ਦਿਨ ਉਹ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਦਰਬੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਚੱਲੇ ਗਏ।
Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 ਅੰਤਾਕਿਯਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਰਤਣਾ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੇ ਦਰਬੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੀ ਖੁਸ਼ਖਬਰੀ ਦਾ ਪਰਚਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ। ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਲੋਕ ਇੱਥੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਚੇਲੇ ਬਣ ਗਏ। ਉਹ ਦੋਨੋਂ ਲੁਸਤ੍ਰਾ, ਇੱਕੁਨਿਯੁਮ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਤਾਕਿਯਾ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਤੇ।
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸ਼ਹਿਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਨੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਚੇਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਕੜੇ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿਣ ਬਾਰੇ ਸਮਝਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਸਾਨੂੰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਰਾਜ ਵਿੱਚ ਪ੍ਰਵੇਸ਼ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਅਨੇਕਾਂ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਾਹਮਣਾ ਕਰਨਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ।”
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
23 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਹਰੇਕ ਕਲੀਸਿਯਾ ਲਈ ਬਜ਼ੁਰਗਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਯੁਕਤ ਕੀਤਾ। ਵਰਤ ਅਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਨਾਲ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੂੰ ਸੌਂਪ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਜਿਸਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਭਰੋਸਾ ਕੀਤਾ।
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 ਤਦ ਉਹ ਦੋਨੋਂ ਪਿਸਿਦਿਯਾ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਦੀ ਲੰਘੇ ਅਤੇ ਪੰਫ਼ਲਿਯਾ ਦੇਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ।
And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 ਫ਼ਿਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦਾ ਸੰਦੇਸ਼ ਪਰਗਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਉਹ ਅੰਤਾਕਿਯਾ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵੱਲ ਗਏ।
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 ਉੱਥੋਂ ਤੋਂ, ਜਹਾਜ਼ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਉਹ ਦੋਨੋਂ ਅੰਤਾਕਿਯਾ ਨੂੰ ਗਏ। ਇਹ ਉਹੀ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਸੀ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਨਿਹਚਾਵਾਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨੂੰ ਸੌਂਪ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਭੇਜ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਹੁਣ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਕੰਮ ਪੂਰਨ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਸੀ।
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
