Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through the cities of Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to the city of Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
पौलुस अर सीलास अम्फिपुलिस अर अपुल्लोनिया नगरां तै होकै थिस्सलुनीके नगर म्ह आये, जित्त यहूदियाँ का एक आराधनालय था।
2 Paul, as his custom was, went to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures.
पौलुस अपणी रीत कै मुताबिक उनकै धोरै गया, अर तीन्नु आराम कै दिनां म्ह पवित्र ग्रन्थ म्ह तै उनकै गेल्या बहस करी,
3 He was opening the scriptures and explaining that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead. He said, “This Jesus whom I proclaim to you is the Christ.”
अर वो उनका मतलब खोल-खोल कै समझावै था के मसीह नै दुख ठाणा, अर मरे होया म्ह तै जिन्दा उठणा, जरूरी था, अर “योए यीशु जिसकी मै थमनै कथा सुणाऊँ सूं, मसीह सै।”
4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, including a large number of devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.
कितने यहूदी अर परमेसवर के भगत यूनानियाँ म्ह तै घणखरयां नै, अर घणी आच्छे खानदान की लुगाईयाँ नै मान लिया, अर पौलुस अर सीलास कै गेल्या मिलगे।
5 But the unbelieving Jews, being moved with jealousy, took certain wicked men from the marketplace, gathered a crowd together, and set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they wanted to bring Paul and Silas out to the people.
पर यहूदियाँ नै जळण तै भरकै बाजारू माणसां म्ह तै कुछ दुष्ट माणसां ताहीं अपणे गेल्या लिया, अर भीड़ कठ्ठी करकै नगर म्ह दंगा मचाण लाग्गे, अर यासोन कै घर पै चढ़ाई करकै उन ताहीं आदमियाँ कै स्याम्ही ल्याणा चाह्या।
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain other brothers before the officials of the city, crying, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also.
उननै जिब वे ओड़ै न्ही मिले तो वे किल्की मारदे होए यासोन अर कुछ बिश्वासी भाईयाँ ताहीं नगर के हाकिमां कै स्याम्ही खींच ल्याए, “ये माणस जिन नै दुनिया ताहीं उल्टा-पुल्टा कर दिया सै, उरै भी आ लिए सै।
7 These men whom Jason has welcomed act against the decrees of Caesar; they say that there is another king—Jesus.”
यासोन नै उन ताहीं अपणे घरां रहण की इजाजत दी सै। ये सारे के सारे न्यू कहवै सै के यीशु राजा सै, अर कैसर के हुकमां का बिरोध करै सै।”
8 The crowd and the officials of the city were disturbed when they heard these things.
उननै आदमियाँ ताहीं अर नगर के हाकिमां ताहीं न्यू सुणाकै डरा दिया।
9 But after the officials made Jason and the rest pay money as security, then they let them go.
ज्यांतै उननै यासोन अर बाकी माणसां तै जमानत पै उन ताहीं छोड़ दिया।
10 That night the brothers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जिब्बे राते-रात पौलुस अर सीलास ताहीं बिरीया नगर भेज दिया, अर वे ओड़ै पोहचकै यहूदियाँ के आराधनालय म्ह गये।
11 Now these people were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
ये माणस तो थिस्सलुनीके नगर के यहूदियाँ तै आच्छे थे, अर उननै घणे चाह् तै वचन अपणाया, अर हर-रोज पवित्र ग्रन्थां म्ह टोह्न्दे रहे के ये बात न्यू सै के न्ही।
12 Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.
ज्यांतै उन म्ह तै घणखरयां नै, अर यूनानी आच्छे खानदान की बिरबानियाँ म्ह तै अर माणसां म्ह तै भी घणखरयां नै बिश्वास करया।
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God at Berea, they went there and stirred up and troubled the crowds.
पर जिब थिस्सलुनीके नगर के यहूदी जाणगे के पौलुस बिरीया नगर म्ह भी परमेसवर का वचन सुणावै सै, तो ओड़ै भी माणसां ताहीं उकसाण अर गड़बड़ मचाण लाग्गे।
14 Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.
फेर बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जिब्बे पौलुस ताहीं बिदा करया के समुन्दर कै किनारे चल्या जावै, पर सीलास अर तीमुथियुस बिरीया रहगे।
15 Those who were leading Paul took him as far as the city of Athens. As they left Paul there, they received from him instructions for Silas and Timothy to come to him as quickly as possible.
पौलुस के मददगार उस ताहीं एथेंस नगर तक लेगे, अर सीलास अर तीमुथियुस कै खात्तर या आज्ञा पाकै बिदा होए के उसकै धोरै घणी तगाजै तै आवै।
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
जिब पौलुस एथेंस नगर म्ह उसकी बाट देक्खै था, तो नगर नै मूर्तियाँ तै भरया होड़ देखकै भोत परेशान होग्या।
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and others who worshiped God, as well as in the marketplace with those who happened to be there.
इस करकै वो आराधनालय म्ह यहूदियाँ तै अर भगतां तै, अर चौक म्ह जो माणस उसतै फेटै थे उनतै हरेक दिन बहस करया करै था।
18 But also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. Some said, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be one who calls people to follow strange gods,” because he was proclaiming Jesus and the resurrection.
फेर इपिकूरी अर स्तोईकी उपदेशकां म्ह तै कुछे उसतै तर्क करण लाग्गे, अर कुछां नै कह्या, “यो बकवादी के कहणा चाहवै सै?” पर दुसरयां नै कह्या, “वो दुसरे देवत्यां का प्रचारक दिक्खै सै” क्यूँके वो यीशु का अर पुनरुत्थान का सुसमाचार सुणावै था।
19 They took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know this new teaching which you were speaking?
फेर वे उसनै अपणे गेल्या अरियुपगुस नामक आराधनालय म्ह लेगे अर बुझ्झया, “के हम जाण सकां सां के यो नया पंथ जो तू सुणावै सै, के सै?
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. Therefore, we want to know what these things mean.”
क्यूँके तू अनोक्खी बात म्हारै ताहीं सुणावै सै, ज्यांतै हम जाणणा चाहवां सां के इनका के मतलब सै।”
21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing but either telling or listening about something new.)
(ज्यांतै के सारे एथेंसवासी अर परदेशी जो ओड़ै रहवै थे, नयी-नयी बात कहण अर सुणण कै सिवाए और किसे काम म्ह बखत कोनी बितावैं थे।)
22 So Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every way.
फेर पौलुस नै अरियुपगुस कै बिचाळै खड़े होकै कह्या, “हे एथेंस के माणसों, मै देक्खूँ सूं के थम हर बात म्ह देवत्यां के घणे मानण आळे सो।
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription, “To an Unknown God.” What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
क्यूँके मै हांडदे होए जिब थारी पूज्जण की चिज्जां नै देखण लागरया था, तो एक इसी वेदी भी मिली, जिसपै लिख्या था, ‘अनजाणे ईश्वर कै खात्तर।’ इस करकै जिसनै थम बिना बेरे पूज्जो सो, मै थमनै उस्से परमेसवर का सुसमाचार सुणाऊँ सूं।”
24 The God who made the world and everything in it, since he is Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples built with hands.
जिस परमेसवर नै धरती अर उसकी सारी चिज्जां ताहीं बणाया, वो सुर्ग अर धरती का माल्लिक होकै, हाथ के बणाए होड़ मन्दरां म्ह कोनी रहन्दा,
25 Neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives people life and breath and everything else.
उसनै माणसां की जरूरत कोनी, क्यूँके वो तो खुदे सारया ताहीं जिन्दगी अर साँस अर सारा किमे देवै सै।
26 From one man he made every nation of people to live on the surface of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their living areas,
उसनै एक ए मूल तै माणसां की सारी जात सारी धरती पै रहण कै खात्तर बणाई सै, अर उनकै ठहराए होड़ बखत अर रहण या निवास की हदां ताहीं ज्यांतै बाँधया सै,
27 so that they should search for God and perhaps they may feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us.
के वे परमेसवर नै टोहवै, कदाचित उस ताहीं टटोळकै पावै, फेरभी वो म्हारै म्ह तै किसे तै दूर कोनी।
28 For in him we live and move and have our being, just as one of your own poets has said, 'For we also are his offspring.'
क्यूँके उस्से म्ह म्हारा जीवन, चलणा-फिरणा अर म्हारी पहचान बणै सै, जिस ढाळ थारे कितने कवियाँ नै भी कह्या सै, “हम तो उस्से के वंशज सां।”
29 Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we ought not to think that the qualities of deity are like gold, or silver, or stone—images created by the art and imagination of man.
“इस करकै म्ह परमेसवर का वंश होकै म्हारा यो समझणा सही कोनी के ईश्वरत्व सोन्ने-चाँदी, पत्थर के जिसा सै, जो माणसां की कारीगरी अर कल्पना तै गढ़े गये हों।
30 Therefore God overlooked the times of ignorance, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent.
ज्यांतै परमेसवर नै अज्ञानता के बखत पै खियास कोनी करी, पर इब हरेक जगहां सारे माणसां ताहीं पाप छोड़ण का हुकम देवै सै।
31 This is because he has set a day when he will judge the world in righteousness by the man he has chosen. God has given proof of this man to everyone by raising him from the dead.”
क्यूँके उसनै एक दिन तय करया सै, जिसम्ह वो धार्मिकता म्ह खुद के जरिये ठहराया गये उस माणस के जरिये दुनिया का न्याय करैगा, जिन ताहीं उसनै मरे होया म्ह तै दुबारा जिन्दा करकै या बात सारे माणसां के स्याम्ही साबित कर दी सै।”
32 Now when the men of Athens heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked Paul; but others said, “We will listen to you again about this matter.”
मरे होया के पुनरुत्थान की बात सुणकै कुछ तो मखौल करण लाग्गे, अर कुछां नै कह्या, “या बात हम तेरे तै फेर कदे सुणांगें।”
33 After that, Paul left them.
इसपै पौलुस उनकै बिचाळै तै लिकड़ग्या।
34 But certain men joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
पर कई माणस प्रभु यीशु कै गेल्या मिलगे, अर बिश्वास करया, जिन म्ह दियुनुसियुस जो अरियुपगुस का सदस्य था, अर दमरिस नामकी एक लुगाई थी, अर उनकै गेल्या कुछ और भी माणस थे।
