तस्य हत्याकरणं शौलोपि सममन्यत। तस्मिन् समये यिरूशालम्नगरस्थां मण्डलीं प्रति महाताडनायां जातायां प्रेरितलोकान् हित्वा सर्व्वेऽपरे यिहूदाशोमिरोणदेशयो र्नानास्थाने विकीर्णाः सन्तो गताः।

tasya hatyākaraṇaṁ śaulopi samamanyata| tasmin samaye yirūśālamnagarasthāṁ maṇḍalīṁ prati mahātāḍanāyāṁ jātāyāṁ preritalokān hitvā sarvve'pare yihūdāśomiroṇadeśayo rnānāsthāne vikīrṇāḥ santo gatāḥ|

And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
2

अन्यच्च भक्तलोकास्तं स्तिफानं श्मशाने स्थापयित्वा बहु व्यलपन्।

anyacca bhaktalokāstaṁ stiphānaṁ śmaśāne sthāpayitvā bahu vyalapan|

And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3

किन्तु शौलो गृहे गृहे भ्रमित्वा स्त्रियः पुरुषांश्च धृत्वा कारायां बद्ध्वा मण्डल्या महोत्पातं कृतवान्।

kintu śaulo gṛhe gṛhe bhramitvā striyaḥ puruṣāṁśca dhṛtvā kārāyāṁ baddhvā maṇḍalyā mahotpātaṁ kṛtavān|

As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4

अन्यच्च ये विकीर्णा अभवन् ते सर्व्वत्र भ्रमित्वा सुसंवादं प्राचारयन्।

anyacca ye vikīrṇā abhavan te sarvvatra bhramitvā susaṁvādaṁ prācārayan|

Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5

तदा फिलिपः शोमिरोण्नगरं गत्वा ख्रीष्टाख्यानं प्राचारयत्;

tadā philipaḥ śomiroṇnagaraṁ gatvā khrīṣṭākhyānaṁ prācārayat;

Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6

ततोऽशुचि-भृतग्रस्तलोकेभ्यो भूताश्चीत्कृत्यागच्छन् तथा बहवः पक्षाघातिनः खञ्जा लोकाश्च स्वस्था अभवन्।

tato'śuci-bhṛtagrastalokebhyo bhūtāścītkṛtyāgacchan tathā bahavaḥ pakṣāghātinaḥ khañjā lokāśca svasthā abhavan|

And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7

तस्मात् लाका ईदृशं तस्याश्चर्य्यं कर्म्म विलोक्य निशम्य च सर्व्व एकचित्तीभूय तेनोक्ताख्याने मनांसि न्यदधुः।

tasmāt lākā īdṛśaṁ tasyāścaryyaṁ karmma vilokya niśamya ca sarvva ekacittībhūya tenoktākhyāne manāṁsi nyadadhuḥ|

For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8

तस्मिन्नगरे महानन्दश्चाभवत्।

tasminnagare mahānandaścābhavat|

And there was great joy in that city.
9

ततः पूर्व्वं तस्मिन्नगरे शिमोन्नामा कश्चिज्जनो बह्वी र्मायाक्रियाः कृत्वा स्वं कञ्चन महापुरुषं प्रोच्य शोमिरोणीयानां मोहं जनयामास।

tataḥ pūrvvaṁ tasminnagare śimonnāmā kaścijjano bahvī rmāyākriyāḥ kṛtvā svaṁ kañcana mahāpuruṣaṁ procya śomiroṇīyānāṁ mohaṁ janayāmāsa|

But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10

तस्मात् स मानुष ईश्वरस्य महाशक्तिस्वरूप इत्युक्त्वा बालवृद्धवनिताः सर्व्वे लाकास्तस्मिन् मनांसि न्यदधुः।

tasmāt sa mānuṣa īśvarasya mahāśaktisvarūpa ityuktvā bālavṛddhavanitāḥ sarvve lākāstasmin manāṁsi nyadadhuḥ|

To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11

स बहुकालान् मायाविक्रियया सर्व्वान् अतीव मोहयाञ्चकार, तस्मात् ते तं मेनिरे।

sa bahukālān māyāvikriyayā sarvvān atīva mohayāñcakāra, tasmāt te taṁ menire|

And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12

किन्त्वीश्वरस्य राज्यस्य यीशुख्रीष्टस्य नाम्नश्चाख्यानप्रचारिणः फिलिपस्य कथायां विश्वस्य तेषां स्त्रीपुरुषोभयलोका मज्जिता अभवन्।

kintvīśvarasya rājyasya yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnaścākhyānapracāriṇaḥ philipasya kathāyāṁ viśvasya teṣāṁ strīpuruṣobhayalokā majjitā abhavan|

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13

शेषे स शिमोनपि स्वयं प्रत्यैत् ततो मज्जितः सन् फिलिपेन कृताम् आश्चर्य्यक्रियां लक्षणञ्च विलोक्यासम्भवं मन्यमानस्तेन सह स्थितवान्।

śeṣe sa śimonapi svayaṁ pratyait tato majjitaḥ san philipena kṛtām āścaryyakriyāṁ lakṣaṇañca vilokyāsambhavaṁ manyamānastena saha sthitavān|

Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14

इत्थं शोमिरोण्देशीयलोका ईश्वरस्य कथाम् अगृह्लन् इति वार्त्तां यिरूशालम्नगरस्थप्रेरिताः प्राप्य पितरं योहनञ्च तेषां निकटे प्रेषितवन्तः।

itthaṁ śomiroṇdeśīyalokā īśvarasya kathām agṛhlan iti vārttāṁ yirūśālamnagarasthapreritāḥ prāpya pitaraṁ yohanañca teṣāṁ nikaṭe preṣitavantaḥ|

Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15

ततस्तौ तत् स्थानम् उपस्थाय लोका यथा पवित्रम् आत्मानं प्राप्नुवन्ति तदर्थं प्रार्थयेतां।

tatastau tat sthānam upasthāya lokā yathā pavitram ātmānaṁ prāpnuvanti tadarthaṁ prārthayetāṁ|

Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16

यतस्ते पुरा केवलप्रभुयीशो र्नाम्ना मज्जितमात्रा अभवन्, न तु तेषां मध्ये कमपि प्रति पवित्रस्यात्मन आविर्भावो जातः।

yataste purā kevalaprabhuyīśo rnāmnā majjitamātrā abhavan, na tu teṣāṁ madhye kamapi prati pavitrasyātmana āvirbhāvo jātaḥ|

(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17

किन्तु प्रेरिताभ्यां तेषां गात्रेषु करेष्वर्पितेषु सत्सु ते पवित्रम् आत्मानम् प्राप्नुवन्।

kintu preritābhyāṁ teṣāṁ gātreṣu kareṣvarpiteṣu satsu te pavitram ātmānam prāpnuvan|

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18

इत्थं लोकानां गात्रेषु प्रेरितयोः करार्पणेन तान् पवित्रम् आत्मानं प्राप्तान् दृष्ट्वा स शिमोन् तयोः समीपे मुद्रा आनीय कथितवान्;

itthaṁ lokānāṁ gātreṣu preritayoḥ karārpaṇena tān pavitram ātmānaṁ prāptān dṛṣṭvā sa śimon tayoḥ samīpe mudrā ānīya kathitavān;

And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19

अहं यस्य गात्रे हस्तम् अर्पयिष्यामि तस्यापि यथेत्थं पवित्रात्मप्राप्ति र्भवति तादृशीं शक्तिं मह्यं दत्तं।

ahaṁ yasya gātre hastam arpayiṣyāmi tasyāpi yathetthaṁ pavitrātmaprāpti rbhavati tādṛśīṁ śaktiṁ mahyaṁ dattaṁ|

Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20

किन्तु पितरस्तं प्रत्यवदत् तव मुद्रास्त्वया विनश्यन्तु यत ईश्वरस्य दानं मुद्राभिः क्रीयते त्वमित्थं बुद्धवान्;

kintu pitarastaṁ pratyavadat tava mudrāstvayā vinaśyantu yata īśvarasya dānaṁ mudrābhiḥ krīyate tvamitthaṁ buddhavān;

But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21

ईश्वराय तावन्तःकरणं सरलं नहि, तस्माद् अत्र तवांशोऽधिकारश्च कोपि नास्ति।

īśvarāya tāvantaḥkaraṇaṁ saralaṁ nahi, tasmād atra tavāṁśo'dhikāraśca kopi nāsti|

Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22

अत एतत्पापहेतोः खेदान्वितः सन् केनापि प्रकारेण तव मनस एतस्याः कुकल्पनायाः क्षमा भवति, एतदर्थम् ईश्वरे प्रार्थनां कुरु;

ata etatpāpahetoḥ khedānvitaḥ san kenāpi prakāreṇa tava manasa etasyāḥ kukalpanāyāḥ kṣamā bhavati, etadartham īśvare prārthanāṁ kuru;

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23

यतस्त्वं तिक्तपित्ते पापस्य बन्धने च यदसि तन्मया बुद्धम्।

yatastvaṁ tiktapitte pāpasya bandhane ca yadasi tanmayā buddham|

For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24

तदा शिमोन् अकथयत् तर्हि युवाभ्यामुदिता कथा मयि यथा न फलति तदर्थं युवां मन्निमित्तं प्रभौ प्रार्थनां कुरुतं।

tadā śimon akathayat tarhi yuvābhyāmuditā kathā mayi yathā na phalati tadarthaṁ yuvāṁ mannimittaṁ prabhau prārthanāṁ kurutaṁ|

Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25

अनेन प्रकारेण तौ साक्ष्यं दत्त्वा प्रभोः कथां प्रचारयन्तौ शोमिरोणीयानाम् अनेकग्रामेषु सुसंवादञ्च प्रचारयन्तौ यिरूशालम्नगरं परावृत्य गतौ।

anena prakāreṇa tau sākṣyaṁ dattvā prabhoḥ kathāṁ pracārayantau śomiroṇīyānām anekagrāmeṣu susaṁvādañca pracārayantau yirūśālamnagaraṁ parāvṛtya gatau|

And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26

ततः परम् ईश्वरस्य दूतः फिलिपम् इत्यादिशत्, त्वमुत्थाय दक्षिणस्यां दिशि यो मार्गो प्रान्तरस्य मध्येन यिरूशालमो ऽसानगरं याति तं मार्गं गच्छ।

tataḥ param īśvarasya dūtaḥ philipam ityādiśat, tvamutthāya dakṣiṇasyāṁ diśi yo mārgo prāntarasya madhyena yirūśālamo 'sānagaraṁ yāti taṁ mārgaṁ gaccha|

And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27

ततः स उत्थाय गतवान्; तदा कन्दाकीनाम्नः कूश्लोकानां राज्ञ्याः सर्व्वसम्पत्तेरधीशः कूशदेशीय एकः षण्डो भजनार्थं यिरूशालम्नगरम् आगत्य

tataḥ sa utthāya gatavān; tadā kandākīnāmnaḥ kūślokānāṁ rājñyāḥ sarvvasampatteradhīśaḥ kūśadeśīya ekaḥ ṣaṇḍo bhajanārthaṁ yirūśālamnagaram āgatya

And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28

पुनरपि रथमारुह्य यिशयियनाम्नो भविष्यद्वादिनो ग्रन्थं पठन् प्रत्यागच्छति।

punarapi rathamāruhya yiśayiyanāmno bhaviṣyadvādino granthaṁ paṭhan pratyāgacchati|

Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29

एतस्मिन् समये आत्मा फिलिपम् अवदत्, त्वम् रथस्य समीपं गत्वा तेन सार्द्धं मिल।

etasmin samaye ātmā philipam avadat, tvam rathasya samīpaṁ gatvā tena sārddhaṁ mila|

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30

तस्मात् स धावन् तस्य सन्निधावुपस्थाय तेन पठ्यमानं यिशयियथविष्यद्वादिनो वाक्यं श्रुत्वा पृष्टवान् यत् पठसि तत् किं बुध्यसे?

tasmāt sa dhāvan tasya sannidhāvupasthāya tena paṭhyamānaṁ yiśayiyathaviṣyadvādino vākyaṁ śrutvā pṛṣṭavān yat paṭhasi tat kiṁ budhyase?

And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31

ततः स कथितवान् केनचिन्न बोधितोहं कथं बुध्येय? ततः स फिलिपं रथमारोढुं स्वेन सार्द्धम् उपवेष्टुञ्च न्यवेदयत्।

tataḥ sa kathitavān kenacinna bodhitohaṁ kathaṁ budhyeya? tataḥ sa philipaṁ rathamāroḍhuṁ svena sārddham upaveṣṭuñca nyavedayat|

And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32

स शास्त्रस्येतद्वाक्यं पठितवान् यथा, समानीयत घाताय स यथा मेषशावकः। लोमच्छेदकसाक्षाच्च मेषश्च नीरवो यथा। आबध्य वदनं स्वीयं तथा स समतिष्ठत।

sa śāstrasyetadvākyaṁ paṭhitavān yathā, samānīyata ghātāya sa yathā meṣaśāvakaḥ| lomacchedakasākṣācca meṣaśca nīravo yathā| ābadhya vadanaṁ svīyaṁ tathā sa samatiṣṭhata|

The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33

अन्यायेन विचारेण स उच्छिन्नो ऽभवत् तदा। तत्कालीनमनुष्यान् को जनो वर्णयितुं क्षमः। यतो जीवन्नृणां देशात् स उच्छिन्नो ऽभवत् ध्रुवं।

anyāyena vicāreṇa sa ucchinno 'bhavat tadā| tatkālīnamanuṣyān ko jano varṇayituṁ kṣamaḥ| yato jīvannṛṇāṁ deśāt sa ucchinno 'bhavat dhruvaṁ|

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34

अनन्तरं स फिलिपम् अवदत् निवेदयामि, भविष्यद्वादी यामिमां कथां कथयामास स किं स्वस्मिन् वा कस्मिंश्चिद् अन्यस्मिन्?

anantaraṁ sa philipam avadat nivedayāmi, bhaviṣyadvādī yāmimāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa sa kiṁ svasmin vā kasmiṁścid anyasmin?

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35

ततः फिलिपस्तत्प्रकरणम् आरभ्य यीशोरुपाख्यानं तस्याग्रे प्रास्तौत्।

tataḥ philipastatprakaraṇam ārabhya yīśorupākhyānaṁ tasyāgre prāstaut|

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36

इत्थं मार्गेण गच्छन्तौ जलाशयस्य समीप उपस्थितौ; तदा क्लीबोऽवादीत् पश्यात्र स्थाने जलमास्ते मम मज्जने का बाधा?

itthaṁ mārgeṇa gacchantau jalāśayasya samīpa upasthitau; tadā klībo'vādīt paśyātra sthāne jalamāste mama majjane kā bādhā?

And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37

ततः फिलिप उत्तरं व्याहरत् स्वान्तःकरणेन साकं यदि प्रत्येषि तर्हि बाधा नास्ति। ततः स कथितवान् यीशुख्रीष्ट ईश्वरस्य पुत्र इत्यहं प्रत्येमि।

tataḥ philipa uttaraṁ vyāharat svāntaḥkaraṇena sākaṁ yadi pratyeṣi tarhi bādhā nāsti| tataḥ sa kathitavān yīśukhrīṣṭa īśvarasya putra ityahaṁ pratyemi|

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38

तदा रथं स्थगितं कर्त्तुम् आदिष्टे फिलिपक्लीबौ द्वौ जलम् अवारुहतां; तदा फिलिपस्तम् मज्जयामास।

tadā rathaṁ sthagitaṁ karttum ādiṣṭe philipaklībau dvau jalam avāruhatāṁ; tadā philipastam majjayāmāsa|

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39

तत्पश्चात् जलमध्याद् उत्थितयोः सतोः परमेश्वरस्यात्मा फिलिपं हृत्वा नीतवान्, तस्मात् क्लीबः पुनस्तं न दृष्टवान् तथापि हृष्टचित्तः सन् स्वमार्गेण गतवान्।

tatpaścāt jalamadhyād utthitayoḥ satoḥ parameśvarasyātmā philipaṁ hṛtvā nītavān, tasmāt klībaḥ punastaṁ na dṛṣṭavān tathāpi hṛṣṭacittaḥ san svamārgeṇa gatavān|

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40

फिलिपश्चास्दोद्नगरम् उपस्थाय तस्मात् कैसरियानगर उपस्थितिकालपर्य्यनतं सर्व्वस्मिन्नगरे सुसंवादं प्रचारयन् गतवान्।

philipaścāsdodnagaram upasthāya tasmāt kaisariyānagara upasthitikālaparyyanataṁ sarvvasminnagare susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan gatavān|

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
