Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
tatkālaparyyanataṁ śaulaḥ prabhōḥ śiṣyāṇāṁ prātikūlyēna tāḍanābadhayōḥ kathāṁ niḥsārayan mahāyājakasya sannidhiṁ gatvā
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
striyaṁ puruṣañca tanmatagrāhiṇaṁ yaṁ kañcit paśyati tān dhr̥tvā baddhvā yirūśālamam ānayatītyāśayēna dammēṣaknagarīyaṁ dharmmasamājān prati patraṁ yācitavān|
3 As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
gacchan tu dammēṣaknagaranikaṭa upasthitavān; tatō'kasmād ākāśāt tasya caturdikṣu tējasaḥ prakāśanāt sa bhūmāvapatat|
4 And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
paścāt hē śaula hē śaula kutō māṁ tāḍayasi? svaṁ prati prōktam ētaṁ śabdaṁ śrutvā
5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
sa pr̥ṣṭavān, hē prabhō bhavān kaḥ? tadā prabhurakathayat yaṁ yīśuṁ tvaṁ tāḍayasi sa ēvāhaṁ; kaṇṭakasya mukhē padāghātakaraṇaṁ tava kaṣṭam|
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
tadā kampamānō vismayāpannaśca sōvadat hē prabhō mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ? bhavata icchā kā? tataḥ prabhurājñāpayad utthāya nagaraṁ gaccha tatra tvayā yat karttavyaṁ tad vadiṣyatē|
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
tasya saṅginō lōkā api taṁ śabdaṁ śrutavantaḥ kintu kamapi na dr̥ṣṭvā stabdhāḥ santaḥ sthitavantaḥ|
8 Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
anantaraṁ śaulō bhūmita utthāya cakṣuṣī unmīlya kamapi na dr̥ṣṭavān| tadā lōkāstasya hastau dhr̥tvā dammēṣaknagaram ānayan|
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
tataḥ sa dinatrayaṁ yāvad andhō bhūtvā na bhuktavān pītavāṁśca|
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
tadanantaraṁ prabhustaddammēṣaknagaravāsina ēkasmai śiṣyāya darśanaṁ datvā āhūtavān hē ananiya| tataḥ sa pratyavādīt, hē prabhō paśya śr̥ṇōmi|
11 The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
tadā prabhustamājñāpayat tvamutthāya saralanāmānaṁ mārgaṁ gatvā yihūdānivēśanē tārṣanagarīyaṁ śaulanāmānaṁ janaṁ gavēṣayan pr̥ccha;
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
paśya sa prārthayatē, tathā ananiyanāmaka ēkō janastasya samīpam āgatya tasya gātrē hastārpaṇaṁ kr̥tvā dr̥ṣṭiṁ dadātītthaṁ svapnē dr̥ṣṭavān|
13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
tasmād ananiyaḥ pratyavadat hē prabhō yirūśālami pavitralōkān prati sō'nēkahiṁsāṁ kr̥tavān;
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
atra sthānē ca yē lōkāstava nāmni prārthayanti tānapi baddhuṁ sa pradhānayājakēbhyaḥ śaktiṁ prāptavān, imāṁ kathām aham anēkēṣāṁ mukhēbhyaḥ śrutavān|
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
kintu prabhurakathayat, yāhi bhinnadēśīyalōkānāṁ bhūpatīnām isrāyēllōkānāñca nikaṭē mama nāma pracārayituṁ sa janō mama manōnītapātramāstē|
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
mama nāmanimittañca tēna kiyān mahān klēśō bhōktavya ētat taṁ darśayiṣyāmi|
17 Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
tatō 'naniyō gatvā gr̥haṁ praviśya tasya gātrē hastārpraṇaṁ kr̥tvā kathitavān, hē bhrātaḥ śaula tvaṁ yathā dr̥ṣṭiṁ prāpnōṣi pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇō bhavasi ca, tadarthaṁ tavāgamanakālē yaḥ prabhuyīśustubhyaṁ darśanam adadāt sa māṁ prēṣitavān|
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
ityuktamātrē tasya cakṣurbhyām mīnaśalkavad vastuni nirgatē tatkṣaṇāt sa prasannacakṣu rbhūtvā prōtthāya majjitō'bhavat bhuktvā pītvā sabalōbhavacca|
19 He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
tataḥ paraṁ śaulaḥ śiṣyaiḥ saha katipayadivasān tasmin dammēṣakanagarē sthitvā'vilambaṁ
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
sarvvabhajanabhavanāni gatvā yīśurīśvarasya putra imāṁ kathāṁ prācārayat|
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
tasmāt sarvvē śrōtāraścamatkr̥tya kathitavantō yō yirūśālamnagara ētannāmnā prārthayitr̥lōkān vināśitavān ēvam ētādr̥śalōkān baddhvā pradhānayājakanikaṭaṁ nayatītyāśayā ētatsthānamapyāgacchat saēva kimayaṁ na bhavati?
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
kintu śaulaḥ kramaśa utsāhavān bhūtvā yīśurīśvarēṇābhiṣiktō jana ētasmin pramāṇaṁ datvā dammēṣak-nivāsiyihūdīyalōkān niruttarān akarōt|
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
itthaṁ bahutithē kālē gatē yihūdīyalōkāstaṁ hantuṁ mantrayāmāsuḥ
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
kintu śaulastēṣāmētasyā mantraṇāyā vārttāṁ prāptavān| tē taṁ hantuṁ tu divāniśaṁ guptāḥ santō nagarasya dvārē'tiṣṭhan;
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
tasmāt śiṣyāstaṁ nītvā rātrau piṭakē nidhāya prācīrēṇāvārōhayan|
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
tataḥ paraṁ śaulō yirūśālamaṁ gatvā śiṣyagaṇēna sārddhaṁ sthātum aihat, kintu sarvvē tasmādabibhayuḥ sa śiṣya iti ca na pratyayan|
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
ētasmād barṇabbāstaṁ gr̥hītvā prēritānāṁ samīpamānīya mārgamadhyē prabhuḥ kathaṁ tasmai darśanaṁ dattavān yāḥ kathāśca kathitavān sa ca yathākṣōbhaḥ san dammēṣaknagarē yīśō rnāma prācārayat ētān sarvvavr̥ttāntān tān jñāpitavān|
28 He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
tataḥ śaulastaiḥ saha yirūśālami kālaṁ yāpayan nirbhayaṁ prabhō ryīśō rnāma prācārayat|
29 He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
tasmād anyadēśīyalōkaiḥ sārddhaṁ vivādasyōpasthitatvāt tē taṁ hantum acēṣṭanta|
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
kintu bhrātr̥gaṇastajjñātvā taṁ kaisariyānagaraṁ nītvā tārṣanagaraṁ prēṣitavān|
31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
itthaṁ sati yihūdiyāgālīlśōmirōṇadēśīyāḥ sarvvā maṇḍalyō viśrāmaṁ prāptāstatastāsāṁ niṣṭhābhavat prabhō rbhiyā pavitrasyātmanaḥ sāntvanayā ca kālaṁ kṣēpayitvā bahusaṁkhyā abhavan|
32 It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
tataḥ paraṁ pitaraḥ sthānē sthānē bhramitvā śēṣē lōdnagaranivāsipavitralōkānāṁ samīpē sthitavān|
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
tadā tatra pakṣāghātavyādhināṣṭau vatsarān śayyāgatam ainēyanāmānaṁ manuṣyaṁ sākṣat prāpya tamavadat,
34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus (the) Messiah heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
hē ainēya yīśukhrīṣṭastvāṁ svastham akārṣīt, tvamutthāya svaśayyāṁ nikṣipa, ityuktamātrē sa udatiṣṭhat|
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
ētādr̥śaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā lōdśārōṇanivāsinō lōkāḥ prabhuṁ prati parāvarttanta|
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
aparañca bhikṣādānādiṣu nānakriyāsu nityaṁ pravr̥ttā yā yāphōnagaranivāsinī ṭābithānāmā śiṣyā yāṁ darkkāṁ arthād hariṇīmayuktvā āhvayan sā nārī
37 It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
tasmin samayē rugnā satī prāṇān atyajat, tatō lōkāstāṁ prakṣālyōparisthaprakōṣṭhē śāyayitvāsthāpayan|
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
lōdnagaraṁ yāphōnagarasya samīpasthaṁ tasmāttatra pitara āstē, iti vārttāṁ śrutvā tūrṇaṁ tasyāgamanārthaṁ tasmin vinayamuktvā śiṣyagaṇō dvau manujau prēṣitavān|
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
tasmāt pitara utthāya tābhyāṁ sārddham āgacchat, tatra tasmin upasthita uparisthaprakōṣṭhaṁ samānītē ca vidhavāḥ svābhiḥ saha sthitikālē darkkayā kr̥tāni yānyuttarīyāṇi paridhēyāni ca tāni sarvvāṇi taṁ darśayitvā rudatyaścatasr̥ṣu dikṣvatiṣṭhan|
40 Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
kintu pitarastāḥ sarvvā bahiḥ kr̥tvā jānunī pātayitvā prārthitavān; paścāt śavaṁ prati dr̥ṣṭiṁ kr̥tvā kathitavān, hē ṭābīthē tvamuttiṣṭha, iti vākya uktē sā strī cakṣuṣī prōnmīlya pitaram avalōkyōtthāyōpāviśat|
41 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
tataḥ pitarastasyāḥ karau dhr̥tvā uttōlya pavitralōkān vidhavāścāhūya tēṣāṁ nikaṭē sajīvāṁ tāṁ samārpayat|
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
ēṣā kathā samastayāphōnagaraṁ vyāptā tasmād anēkē lōkāḥ prabhau vyaśvasan|
43 It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
aparañca pitarastadyāphōnagarīyasya kasyacit śimōnnāmnaścarmmakārasya gr̥hē bahudināni nyavasat|
