हे पितृगणा हे भ्रातृगणाः, इदानीं मम निवेदने समवधत्त।

he pitṛgaṇā he bhrātṛgaṇāḥ, idānīṁ mama nivedane samavadhatta|

Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2

तदा स इब्रीयभाषया कथां कथयतीति श्रुत्वा सर्व्वे लोका अतीव निःशब्दा सन्तोऽतिष्ठन्।

tadā sa ibrīyabhāṣayā kathāṁ kathayatīti śrutvā sarvve lokā atīva niḥśabdā santo'tiṣṭhan|

(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3

पश्चात् सोऽकथयद् अहं यिहूदीय इति निश्चयः किलिकियादेशस्य तार्षनगरं मम जन्मभूमिः,एतन्नगरीयस्य गमिलीयेलनाम्नोऽध्यापकस्य शिष्यो भूत्वा पूर्व्वपुरुषाणां विधिव्यवस्थानुसारेण सम्पूर्णरूपेण शिक्षितोऽभवम् इदानीन्तना यूयं यादृशा भवथ तादृशोऽहमपीश्वरसेवायाम् उद्योगी जातः।

I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4

मतमेतद् द्विष्ट्वा तद्ग्राहिनारीपुरुषान् कारायां बद्ध्वा तेषां प्राणनाशपर्य्यन्तां विपक्षताम् अकरवम्।

matametad dviṣṭvā tadgrāhinārīpuruṣān kārāyāṁ baddhvā teṣāṁ prāṇanāśaparyyantāṁ vipakṣatām akaravam|

And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5

महायाजकः सभासदः प्राचीनलोकाश्च ममैतस्याः कथायाः प्रमाणं दातुं शक्नुवन्ति, यस्मात् तेषां समीपाद् दम्मेषकनगरनिवासिभ्रातृगणार्थम् आज्ञापत्राणि गृहीत्वा ये तत्र स्थितास्तान् दण्डयितुं यिरूशालमम् आनयनार्थं दम्मेषकनगरं गतोस्मि।

As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6

किन्तु गच्छन् तन्नगरस्य समीपं प्राप्तवान् तदा द्वितीयप्रहरवेलायां सत्याम् अकस्माद् गगणान्निर्गत्य महती दीप्ति र्मम चतुर्दिशि प्रकाशितवती।

kintu gacchan tannagarasya samīpaṁ prāptavān tadā dvitīyapraharavelāyāṁ satyām akasmād gagaṇānnirgatya mahatī dīpti rmama caturdiśi prakāśitavatī|

And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7

ततो मयि भूमौै पतिते सति, हे शौल हे शौल कुतो मां ताडयसि? माम्प्रति भाषित एतादृश एको रवोपि मया श्रुतः।

tato mayi bhūmauै patite sati, he śaula he śaula kuto māṁ tāḍayasi? māmprati bhāṣita etādṛśa eko ravopi mayā śrutaḥ|

And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8

तदाहं प्रत्यवदं, हे प्रभे को भवान्? ततः सोऽवादीत् यं त्वं ताडयसि स नासरतीयो यीशुरहं।

tadāhaṁ pratyavadaṁ, he prabhe ko bhavān? tataḥ so'vādīt yaṁ tvaṁ tāḍayasi sa nāsaratīyo yīśurahaṁ|

And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9

मम सङ्गिनो लोकास्तां दीप्तिं दृष्ट्वा भियं प्राप्ताः, किन्तु माम्प्रत्युदितं तद्वाक्यं तेे नाबुध्यन्त।

mama saṅgino lokāstāṁ dīptiṁ dṛṣṭvā bhiyaṁ prāptāḥ, kintu māmpratyuditaṁ tadvākyaṁ teे nābudhyanta|

And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10

ततः परं पृष्टवानहं, हे प्रभो मया किं कर्त्तव्यं? ततः प्रभुरकथयत्, उत्थाय दम्मेषकनगरं याहि त्वया यद्यत् कर्त्तव्यं निरूपितमास्ते तत् तत्र त्वं ज्ञापयिष्यसे।

tataḥ paraṁ pṛṣṭavānahaṁ, he prabho mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ? tataḥ prabhurakathayat, utthāya dammeṣakanagaraṁ yāhi tvayā yadyat karttavyaṁ nirūpitamāste tat tatra tvaṁ jñāpayiṣyase|

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11

अनन्तरं तस्याः खरतरदीप्तेः कारणात् किमपि न दृष्ट्वा सङ्गिगणेन धृतहस्तः सन् दम्मेषकनगरं व्रजितवान्।

anantaraṁ tasyāḥ kharataradīpteḥ kāraṇāt kimapi na dṛṣṭvā saṅgigaṇena dhṛtahastaḥ san dammeṣakanagaraṁ vrajitavān|

And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12

तन्नगरनिवासिनां सर्व्वेषां यिहूदीयानां मान्यो व्यवस्थानुसारेण भक्तश्च हनानीयनामा मानव एको

tannagaranivāsināṁ sarvveṣāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ mānyo vyavasthānusāreṇa bhaktaśca hanānīyanāmā mānava eko

And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13

मम सन्निधिम् एत्य तिष्ठन् अकथयत्, हे भ्रातः शौल सुदृष्टि र्भव तस्मिन् दण्डेऽहं सम्यक् तं दृष्टवान्।

mama sannidhim etya tiṣṭhan akathayat, he bhrātaḥ śaula sudṛṣṭi rbhava tasmin daṇḍe'haṁ samyak taṁ dṛṣṭavān|

Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14

ततः स मह्यं कथितवान् यथा त्वम् ईश्वरस्याभिप्रायं वेत्सि तस्य शुद्धसत्त्वजनस्य दर्शनं प्राप्य तस्य श्रीमुखस्य वाक्यं शृणोषि तन्निमित्तम् अस्माकं पूर्व्वपुरुषाणाम् ईश्वरस्त्वां मनोनीतं कृतवानं।

tataḥ sa mahyaṁ kathitavān yathā tvam īśvarasyābhiprāyaṁ vetsi tasya śuddhasattvajanasya darśanaṁ prāpya tasya śrīmukhasya vākyaṁ śṛṇoṣi tannimittam asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇām īśvarastvāṁ manonītaṁ kṛtavānaṁ|

And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15

यतो यद्यद् अद्राक्षीरश्रौषीश्च सर्व्वेषां मानवानां समीपे त्वं तेषां साक्षी भविष्यसि।

yato yadyad adrākṣīraśrauṣīśca sarvveṣāṁ mānavānāṁ samīpe tvaṁ teṣāṁ sākṣī bhaviṣyasi|

For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16

अतएव कुतो विलम्बसे? प्रभो र्नाम्ना प्रार्थ्य निजपापप्रक्षालनार्थं मज्जनाय समुत्तिष्ठ।

ataeva kuto vilambase? prabho rnāmnā prārthya nijapāpaprakṣālanārthaṁ majjanāya samuttiṣṭha|

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17

ततः परं यिरूशालम्नगरं प्रत्यागत्य मन्दिरेऽहम् एकदा प्रार्थये, तस्मिन् समयेऽहम् अभिभूतः सन् प्रभूं साक्षात् पश्यन्,

tataḥ paraṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ pratyāgatya mandire'ham ekadā prārthaye, tasmin samaye'ham abhibhūtaḥ san prabhūṁ sākṣāt paśyan,

And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18

त्वं त्वरया यिरूशालमः प्रतिष्ठस्व यतो लोकामयि तव साक्ष्यं न ग्रहीष्यन्ति, माम्प्रत्युदितं तस्येदं वाक्यम् अश्रौषम्।

tvaṁ tvarayā yirūśālamaḥ pratiṣṭhasva yato lokāmayi tava sākṣyaṁ na grahīṣyanti, māmpratyuditaṁ tasyedaṁ vākyam aśrauṣam|

And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19

ततोहं प्रत्यवादिषम् हे प्रभो प्रतिभजनभवनं त्वयि विश्वासिनो लोकान् बद्ध्वा प्रहृतवान्,

tatohaṁ pratyavādiṣam he prabho pratibhajanabhavanaṁ tvayi viśvāsino lokān baddhvā prahṛtavān,

And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20

तथा तव साक्षिणः स्तिफानस्य रक्तपातनसमये तस्य विनाशं सम्मन्य सन्निधौ तिष्ठन् हन्तृलोकानां वासांसि रक्षितवान्, एतत् ते विदुः।

tathā tava sākṣiṇaḥ stiphānasya raktapātanasamaye tasya vināśaṁ sammanya sannidhau tiṣṭhan hantṛlokānāṁ vāsāṁsi rakṣitavān, etat te viduḥ|

And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21

ततः सोऽकथयत् प्रतिष्ठस्व त्वां दूरस्थभिन्नदेशीयानां समीपं प्रेषयिष्ये।

tataḥ so'kathayat pratiṣṭhasva tvāṁ dūrasthabhinnadeśīyānāṁ samīpaṁ preṣayiṣye|

And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22

तदा लोका एतावत्पर्य्यन्तां तदीयां कथां श्रुत्वा प्रोच्चैरकथयन्, एनं भूमण्डलाद् दूरीकुरुत, एतादृशजनस्य जीवनं नोचितम्।

tadā lokā etāvatparyyantāṁ tadīyāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā proccairakathayan, enaṁ bhūmaṇḍalād dūrīkuruta, etādṛśajanasya jīvanaṁ nocitam|

And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23

इत्युच्चैः कथयित्वा वसनानि परित्यज्य गगणं प्रति धूलीरक्षिपन्

ityuccaiḥ kathayitvā vasanāni parityajya gagaṇaṁ prati dhūlīrakṣipan

And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24

ततः सहस्रसेनापतिः पौलं दुर्गाभ्यन्तर नेतुं समादिशत्। एतस्य प्रतिकूलाः सन्तो लोकाः किन्निमित्तम् एतावदुच्चैःस्वरम् अकुर्व्वन्, एतद् वेत्तुं तं कशया प्रहृत्य तस्य परीक्षां कर्त्तुमादिशत्।

tataḥ sahasrasenāpatiḥ paulaṁ durgābhyantara netuṁ samādiśat| etasya pratikūlāḥ santo lokāḥ kinnimittam etāvaduccaiḥsvaram akurvvan, etad vettuṁ taṁ kaśayā prahṛtya tasya parīkṣāṁ karttumādiśat|

The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25

पदातयश्चर्म्मनिर्म्मितरज्जुभिस्तस्य बन्धनं कर्त्तुमुद्यतास्तास्तदानीं पौलः सम्मुखस्थितं शतसेनापतिम् उक्तवान् दण्डाज्ञायाम् अप्राप्तायां किं रोमिलोकं प्रहर्त्तुं युष्माकम् अधिकारोस्ति?

padātayaścarmmanirmmitarajjubhistasya bandhanaṁ karttumudyatāstāstadānīṁ paulaḥ sammukhasthitaṁ śatasenāpatim uktavān daṇḍājñāyām aprāptāyāṁ kiṁ romilokaṁ praharttuṁ yuṣmākam adhikārosti?

And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26

एनां कथां श्रुत्वा स सहस्रसेनापतेः सन्निधिं गत्वा तां वार्त्तामवदत् स रोमिलोक एतस्मात् सावधानः सन् कर्म्म कुरु।

enāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā sa sahasrasenāpateḥ sannidhiṁ gatvā tāṁ vārttāmavadat sa romiloka etasmāt sāvadhānaḥ san karmma kuru|

When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27

तस्मात् सहस्रसेनापति र्गत्वा तमप्राक्षीत् त्वं किं रोमिलोकः? इति मां ब्रूहि। सोऽकथयत् सत्यम्।

tasmāt sahasrasenāpati rgatvā tamaprākṣīt tvaṁ kiṁ romilokaḥ? iti māṁ brūhi| so'kathayat satyam|

Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28

ततः सहस्रसेनापतिः कथितवान् बहुद्रविणं दत्त्वाहं तत् पौरसख्यं प्राप्तवान्; किन्तु पौलः कथितवान् अहं जनुना तत् प्राप्तोऽस्मि।

tataḥ sahasrasenāpatiḥ kathitavān bahudraviṇaṁ dattvāhaṁ tat paurasakhyaṁ prāptavān; kintu paulaḥ kathitavān ahaṁ janunā tat prāpto'smi|

And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29

इत्थं सति ये प्रहारेण तं परीक्षितुं समुद्यता आसन् ते तस्य समीपात् प्रातिष्ठन्त; सहस्रसेनापतिस्तं रोमिलोकं विज्ञाय स्वयं यत् तस्य बन्धनम् अकार्षीत् तत्कारणाद् अबिभेत्।

itthaṁ sati ye prahāreṇa taṁ parīkṣituṁ samudyatā āsan te tasya samīpāt prātiṣṭhanta; sahasrasenāpatistaṁ romilokaṁ vijñāya svayaṁ yat tasya bandhanam akārṣīt tatkāraṇād abibhet|

Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30

यिहूदीयलोकाः पौलं कुतोऽपवदन्ते तस्य वृत्तान्तं ज्ञातुं वाञ्छन् सहस्रसेनापतिः परेऽहनि पौलं बन्धनात् मोचयित्वा प्रधानयाजकान् महासभायाः सर्व्वलोकाश्च समुपस्थातुम् आदिश्य तेषां सन्निधौ पौलम् अवरोह्य स्थापितवान्।

yihūdīyalokāḥ paulaṁ kuto'pavadante tasya vṛttāntaṁ jñātuṁ vāñchan sahasrasenāpatiḥ pare'hani paulaṁ bandhanāt mocayitvā pradhānayājakān mahāsabhāyāḥ sarvvalokāśca samupasthātum ādiśya teṣāṁ sannidhau paulam avarohya sthāpitavān|

On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
