ଯୋହନଲିଖିତ ସୁସମାଚାର 2
1 ଦୁଇ ଦିନ ପରେ ଗାଲିଲୀର କାନ୍ନା ସହର ରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ବିବାହ ହେଲା। ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମାଆ ସଠାେରେ ଥିଲେ।
2 ହି ବିବାହ ଉତ୍ସବକୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ନିମନ୍ତ୍ରିତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ।
3 ହି ବିବାହ ଉତ୍ସବ ରେ ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ପରିମାଣ ରେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ନଥିଲା। ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ସରିୟିବା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ମାଆ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଆଉ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ନାହିଁ।
4 ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ପ୍ରିୟ ନାରୀ, କ'ଣ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ, ଏହା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ କହିବା ଉଚିତ ନୁହେଁ। ମାରେ ସମୟ ଏପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଆସି ନାହିଁ।
5 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ମାଆ ସବେକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଯୀଶୁ ଯେପରି କହନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସପରେି କର।
6 ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ଛଅଟି ପଥରର ବଡ ଜଳକୁଣ୍ଡ ଥିଲା। ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶୁଚିକରଣ ନୀତି ଅନୁସାରେ ଏହି ଜଳକୁଣ୍ଡ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରୁଥିଲେ। ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଜଳକୁଣ୍ଡ ରେ ପ୍ରାୟ ଶ ହରେୁ ଶ ହେ ପଚାଶ ଲିଟର ପାଣି ଧରୁଥିଲା।
7 ଯୀଶୁ ସବେକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସହେି ଜଳ କୁଣ୍ଡ ରେ ପାଣି ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କର। ତେଣୁ ସବେକମାନେ କୁଣ୍ଡ ରେ ପାଣି ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କରି ଦେଲେ।
8 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସବେକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସେଥିରୁ କିଛି ପାଣି କାଢି ନିଅ। ଏହି ପାଣି ନଇେ ଭୋଜିକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଅ।
9 ତା'ପରେ ଭୋଜି ଦାଯିତ୍ବ ରେ ଥିବା ମୁଖ୍ଯ ଲୋକ ତାହାକୁ ଚାଖିଲେ। ସହେି ପାଣି ଏବେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ରେ ପରିଣତ ହାଇଯୋଇଥିଲା। ସେ ଜାଣି ନଥିଲେ ଯେ ଏପରି ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଲା? କିନ୍ତୁ ସହେି ପାଣି କାଢିଥିବା ସବେକମାନେ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଭୋଜିକର୍ତ୍ତା ବରକୁ ଡାକିଲେ।
10 ସେ ବରକୁ କହିଲେ, ଲୋକମାନେ ସବୁବେଳେ ସବୁଠାରୁ ଉତ୍ତମ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପ୍ରଥମେ ପିଇବାକୁ ଦିଅନ୍ତି। ଅତିଥିମାନେ ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ପିଇ ତୃପ୍ତ ହବୋପରେ ସମାନେେ ଶସ୍ତା ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ଦିଅନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତ ଏପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଉତ୍ତମ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ରଖିଛ।
11 ଏହା ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଥମ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଥିଲା। ସେ ଏହି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯକାମ ଗାଲୀଲୀର କାନ୍ନା ସହର ରେ କରିଥିଲେ। ଏହିପରି ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ମହିମା ଦଖାଇେଲେ। ଏବଂ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲେ।
12 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ କଫର୍ନାହୂମ ସହରକୁ ଗଲେ। ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ତାଙ୍କର ମାଆ, ତାଙ୍କର ଭାଇମାନେ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଗଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ କଫର୍ନାହୂମ ରେ କିଛି ଦିନ ରହିଲେ।
13 ସେତବେେଳେ ଯିହୂଦୀମାନଙ୍କର ନିସ୍ତାରପର୍ବର ସମୟ ପାଖ ହାଇେଆସୁଥିଲା। ତେଣୁ ଯୀଶୁ ୟିରୂଶାଲମକୁ ଗଲେ।
14 ସହେି ମନ୍ଦିର ପରିସର ରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗୋରୁ, ମେଣ୍ଢା ଓ କପୋତ ବିକ୍ରୀ କରିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। କେତକେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସେ ଟବେୁଲ ପାଖ ରେ ବସିଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ଟଙ୍କା ବିନିମୟ ଓ ବ୍ଯବସାୟ ମଧ୍ଯ କରୁଥିଲେ।
15 ଯୀଶୁ କେତେ ଖଣ୍ଡ ଦଉଡି ରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଛାଟ ତିଆରି କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ, ମେଣ୍ଢାଗୁଡିକୁ ଓ ଗୋରୁଗୁଡିକୁ ସଠାରୁେ ଜାରେ ଜବରଦସ୍ତି ତଡି ଦେଲେ। ସେ ମୁଦ୍ରା ବିନିମୟକାରୀମାନଙ୍କର ଟଙ୍କା ତଳେ ପକଇେ ମଜଗେୁଡିକ ଓଲଟଇେ ଦେଲେ।
16 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ କପୋତ ବପୋରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯାଇ କହିଲେ, ଏସବୁ ଜିନିଷଗୁଡିକ ଏଠାରୁ ନଇଯାେଅ। ମାରେ ପରମପିତାଙ୍କ ଘରକୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ବାଣିଜ୍ଯ ଗୃହ ରେ ପରିଣତ କର ନାହିଁ।
17 ଏହି ସବୁ ଘଟଣା ଘଟିବା ବେଳେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେ ହାଇେଥିବା ଏହି ବାଣୀ ମନେ ପକାଇଲେ:
18 ଯୀହୂଦୀମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଚିହ୍ନ ସ୍ବରୂପେ ଏକ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରି ଦଖାେଅ। ପ୍ରମାଣିତ କର ଯେ, ଏସବୁ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅଧିକାର ଅଛି।
19 ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଏହି ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ନଷ୍ଟ କରି ଦିଅ ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ଏହାକୁ ତିନି ଦିନ ମଧିଅରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରି ଦବେି।
20 ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ମନ୍ଦିର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଲୋକମାନେ ଛଯାଳିଶ ବର୍ଷ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ କାମ କରିଥିଲେ। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରୁଛ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହା ତିନି ଦିନ ମଧିଅରେ ନିର୍ମାଣ କରି ଦବେ?
21 (କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଏହି ମନ୍ଦିର କହିବା ବେଳେ ନିଜ ଶରୀରକୁ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ଯ କରି କହିଥିଲେ।
22 ଯୀଶୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁରୁ ଉଠିଲା ପରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ କହିଥିବା କଥା ମନେ ପକାଇଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଯାହା ଲଖାେଥିଲା ଓ ଯୀଶୁ ଯାହା କହିଥିଲେ, ସେସବୁ କଥା ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲେ।)
23 ଯୀଶୁ ନିସ୍ତାରପର୍ବ ପାଇଁ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ରେ ଥିଲେ। ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିଲେ। କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା କରାଯାଇଥିବା ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯମାନ ଦେଖିଲେ।
24 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଭରସା କଲେ ନାହିଁ କାରଣ ସେ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ମନର ଭାବନା ଜାଣିଥିଲେ।
25 ମନୁଷ୍ଯର ମନ ଭିତ ରେ କ'ଣ ଅଛି, ତାହା ସେ ଭଲ ଭାବରେ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ବୁଝଇବୋ କାହାରି ଦରକାର ନଥିଲା।
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
13 And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
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.
27 ਜਦੋਂ ਉੱਥੇ ਦੋਨੋਂ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਕਲੀਸਿਯਾ ਨੂੰ ਇਕੱਠੇ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਹ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਦੱਸੀਆਂ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ ਸਨ। ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਦਰਵਾਜ਼ਾ ਖੋਲ੍ਹਿਆ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਗੈਰ ਕੌਮਾਂ ਦੇ ਲੋਕ ਵੀ ਨਿਹਚਾ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਣ।”
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 ਉੱਥੇ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬਰਨਬਾਸ ਮਸੀਹ ਦੇ ਚੇਲਿਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਬਹੁਤ ਦਿਨ ਰਹੇ।
And there they abode long time with the disciples.
