Isaiah 3
1 ఆలకించుడి ప్రభువును సైన్యములకధిపతియునగు యెహోవా పోషణమును పోషణాధారమును అన్నోదకముల ఆధారమంతయు పోషణమంతయు
2 శూరులను యోధులను న్యాయాధిపతులను ప్రవక్తలను
3 సోదెకాండ్రను పెద్దలను పంచాదశాధిపతులను ఘనత వహించినవారిని మంత్రులను శిల్పశాస్త్రములను ఎరిగినవారిని మాంత్రికులను యెరూషలేములోనుండియు యూదాదేశములో నుండియు తీసివేయును.
4 బాలకులను వారికి అధిపతులనుగా నియమించెదను వారు బాలచేష్టలుచేసి జనులను ఏలెదరు.
5 ప్రజలలో ఒకడిట్లును మరియొకడట్లును ప్రతివాడు తన పొరుగువానిని ఒత్తుడు చేయును. పెద్దవానిపైని బాలుడును ఘనునిపైని నీచుడును గర్వించి తిరస్కారముగా నడుచును.
6 ఒకడు తన తండ్రియింట తన సహోదరుని పట్టుకొని నీకు వస్త్రము కలదు నీవు మామీద అధిపతివై యుందువు ఈ పాడుస్థలము నీ వశముండనిమ్మనును
7 అతడు ఆ దినమున కేకవేసినేను సంరక్షణ కర్తనుగా ఉండనొల్లను నాయింట ఆహారమేమియు లేదు వస్త్రమేమియు లేదు నన్ను జనాధిపతిగా నియమింపరాదనును.
8 యెరూషలేము పాడైపోయెను యూదా నాశన మాయెను యెహోవా మహిమగల దృష్టికి తిరుగుబాటు చేయు నంతగా వారి మాటలును క్రియలును ఆయనకు ప్రతికూలముగా ఉన్నవి.
9 వారి ముఖలక్షణమే వారిమీద సాక్ష్యమిచ్చును. తమ పాపమును మరుగుచేయక సొదొమవారివలె దాని బయలుపరచుదురు. తమకు తామే వారు కీడుచేసికొని యున్నారు వారికి శ్రమ
10 మీకు మేలు కలుగునని నీతిమంతులతో చెప్పుము వారు తమ క్రియల ఫలము అనుభవింతురు.
11 దుష్టులకు శ్రమ, వారి క్రియల ఫలము వారికి కలుగును.
12 నా ప్రజలవిషయమై నేనేమందును? బాలురు వారిని బాధపెట్టుచున్నారు స్త్రీలు వారిని ఏలుచున్నారు. నా ప్రజలారా, మీ నాయకులు త్రోవను తప్పించు వారు
13 వారు నీ త్రోవల జాడను చెరిపివేయుదురు. యెహోవా వాదించుటకు నిలువబడియున్నాడు జనములను విమర్శించుటకు లేచియున్నాడు
14 యెహోవా తన జనుల పెద్దలను వారి యధిపతులను విమర్శింప వచ్చుచున్నాడు. మీరే ద్రాక్షలతోటను తినివేసితిరి మీరు దోచుకొనిన దరిద్రుల సొమ్ము మీ యిండ్లలోనే యున్నది
15 నా ప్రజలను నలుగగొట్టి మీరేమి చేయుదురు? బీదల ముఖములను నూరి మీరేమి చేయుదురు? అని ప్రభువును సైన్యములకధిపతియునగు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చుచున్నాడు.
16 మరియు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చినదేదనగా సీయోను కుమార్తెలు గర్విష్ఠురాండ్రై మెడచాచి నడచుచు ఓర చూపులు చూచుచు కులుకుతో నడచుచు, తమ కాళ్లగజ్జలను మ్రోగించు చున్నారు;
17 కాబట్టి ప్రభువు సీయోను కుమార్తెల నడినెత్తి బోడి చేయును యెహోవా వారి మానమును బయలుపరచును.
18 ఆ దినమున యెహోవా గల్లుగల్లుమను వారి పాద భూషణములను సూర్యబింబ భూషణములను చంద్రవంకలను భూషణములను
19 కర్ణభూషణములను కడియములను నాణమైన ముసుకు లను
20 కుల్లాయీలను కాళ్ల గొలుసులను ఒడ్డాణములను పరిమళ ద్రవ్యపు బరిణలను
21 రక్షరేకులను ఉంగరములను ముక్కు కమ్ములను
22 ఉత్సవ వస్త్రములను ఉత్తరీయములను పైటలను సంచులను
23 చేతి అద్దములను సన్నపునారతో చేసిన ముసుకులను పాగాలను శాలువులను తీసివేయును.
24 అప్పుడు పరిమళ ద్రవ్యమునకు ప్రతిగా మురుగుడును నడికట్టుకు ప్రతిగా త్రాడును అల్లిన జడకు ప్రతిగా బోడితలయు ప్రశస్తమైన పైవస్త్రమునకు ప్రతిగా గోనెపట్టయు అందమునకు ప్రతిగా వాతయును ఉండును.
25 ఖడ్గముచేత మనుష్యులు కూలుదురు యుద్ధమున నీ బలాఢ్యులు పడుదురు
26 పట్టణపు గుమ్మములు బాధపడి దుఃఖించును ఆమె ఏమియు లేనిదై నేల కూర్చుండును.
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.
16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
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.
