Acts 19:23-40 in Hindi

23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.

39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.

23 उस समय उस पन्थ के विषय में बड़ा हुल्लड़ हुआ।
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

24 क्योंकि देमेत्रियुस नाम का एक सुनार अरितमिस के चान्दी के मन्दिर बनवाकर कारीगरों को बहुत काम दिलाया करता था।
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

25 उस ने उन को, और, और ऐसी वस्तुओं के कारीगरों को इकट्ठे करके कहा; हे मनुष्यो, तुम जानते हो, कि इस काम में हमें कितना धन मिलता है।
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

26 और तुम देखते और सुनते हो, कि केवल इफिसुस ही में नहीं, वरन प्राय: सारे आसिया में यह कह कहकर इस पौलुस ने बहुत लोगों को समझाया और भरमाया भी है, कि जो हाथ की कारीगरी है, वे ईश्वर नहीं।
Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

27 और अब केवल इसी एक बात का ही डर नहीं, कि हमारे इस धन्धे की प्रतिष्ठा जाती रहेगी; वरन यह कि महान देवी अरितमिस का मन्दिर तुच्छ समझा जाएगा और जिसे सारा आसिया और जगत पूजता है उसका महत्व भी जाता रहेगा।
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

28 वे यह सुनकर क्रोध से भर गए, और चिल्ला चिल्लाकर कहने लगे, इिफिसयों की अरितमिस महान है!
And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

29 और सारे नगर में बड़ा कोलाहल मच गया और लोगों ने गयुस और अरिस्तरखुस मकिदुनियों को जो पौलुस के संगी यात्री थे, पकड़ लिया, और एकिचत्त होकर रंगशाला में दौड़ गए।
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

30 जब पौलुस ने लोगों के पास भीतर जाना चाहा तो चेलों ने उसे जाने न दिया।
And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

31 आसिया के हाकिमों में से भी उसके कई मित्रों ने उसके पास कहला भेजा, और बिनती की, कि रंगशाला में जाकर जोखिम न उठाना।
And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

32 सो कोई कुछ चिल्लाया, और कोई कुछ; क्योंकि सभा में बड़ी गड़बड़ी हो रही थी, और बहुत से लोग तो यह जानते भी नहीं थे कि हम किस लिये इकट्ठे हुए हैं।
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

33 तब उन्होंने सिकन्दर को, जिस यहूदियों ने खड़ा किया था, भीड़ में से आगे बढ़ाया, और सिकन्दर हाथ से सैन करके लोगों के साम्हने उत्तर दिया चाहता था।
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

34 परन्तु जब उन्होंने जान लिया कि वह यहूदी है, तो सब के सब एक शब्द से कोई दो घंटे तक चिल्लाते रहे, कि इफिसयों की अरितमिस महान है।
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

35 तब नगर के मन्त्री ने लोगों को शान्त करके कहा; हे इफिसयों, कौन नहीं जानता, कि इफिसयों का नगर बड़ी देवी अरितमिस के मन्दिर, और ज्यूस की ओर से गिरी हुई मूरत का टहलुआ है।
And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

36 सो जब कि इन बातों का खण्डन ही नहीं हो सकता, तो उचित्त है, कि तुम चुपके रहो; और बिना सोचे विचारे कुछ न करो।
Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

37 क्योंकि तुम इन मनुष्यों को लाए हो, जो न मन्दिर के लूटने वाले हैं, और न हमारी देवी के निन्दक हैं।
For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

38 यदि देमेत्रियुस और उसके साथी कारीगरों को किसी से विवाद हो तो कचहरी खुली हैं, और हाकिम भी हैं; वे एक दूसरे पर नालिश करें।
Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.

39 परन्तु यदि तुम किसी और बात के विषय में कुछ पूछना चाहते हो, तो नियत सभा में फैसला किया जाएगा।
But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

40 क्योंकि आज के बलवे के कारण हम पर दोष लगाए जाने का डर है, इसलिये कि इस का कोई कारण नहीं, सो हम इस भीड़ के इकट्ठा होने का कोई उत्तर न दे सकेंगे।
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
