प्रेरित 15
1 यहूदियाबाट केही मानिसहरू आए र भाइहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सिकाए, “जबसम्म तपाईंहरूले मोशाको विधिअनुसार खतना गर्नुहुन्न, तबसम्म तपाईंहरू बाँच्न सक्नुहुन्न ।”
Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and taught the brothers, saying, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
2 जब पावल र बारनाबासको तिनीहरूसँग विरोध र विवाद भयो तब यस प्रश्नलाई लिएर पावल, बारनाबास र अरू केही मानिस यरूशलेममा प्रेरित र एल्डरहरूकहाँ जानुपर्छ भनी भाइहरूले निर्णय गरे ।
This brought Paul and Barnabas into a sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas along with some others from among them were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to meet with the apostles and elders about this question.
3 त्यसकारण उनीहरू मण्डलीद्वारा पठाइए अनि फोनिसिया र सामरिया भएर गए र गैरयहूदीहरू विश्वासमा आएका कुरा घोषणा गरे । उनीहरूले सबै दाजुभाइहरूमा ठुलो आनन्द ल्याए ।
They therefore, being sent by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria and announced the conversion of the Gentiles. They brought great joy to all the brothers.
4 जब उनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए, उनीहरूलाई मण्डली, प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरूद्वारा स्वागत गरियो, र यसरी उनीहरूसँग परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका सबै कामहरूको प्रतिवेदन उनीहरूलाई सुनाए ।
When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all the things that God had done with them.
5 फरिसी दलबाट विश्वास गरेका केही मानिसहरू उठे र भने, “तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्न र मोशाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिनु आवश्यक छ ।”
But certain men who believed, who belonged to the group of Pharisees, stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
6 त्यसैले यस विषयमा विचार गर्न प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरू भेला भए ।
So the apostles and the elders gathered together to consider this matter.
7 धेरै छलफलपछि, पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “भाइहरू, केही समय अगाडि परमेश्वरले तपाईंहरूको माझमा गर्नुभएको एउटा छनौट तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ कि मेरो मुखद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूले सुसमाचारको वचन सुन्न सकून् र विश्वास गरून् ।
After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 मानिसहरूका हृदय जान्नुहुने परमेश्वरले हामीलाई जस्तै तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मा दिएर तिनीहरूलाई गवाही दिनुहुन्छ ।
God, who knows the heart, witnesses to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us;
9 विश्वासद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदय शुद्ध गर्नुभएर उहाँले हामीहरू र तिनीहरूका बिचमा कुनै भेदभाव गर्नुभएन ।
and he made no distinction between us and them, making their hearts clean by faith.
10 अब यसकारण हाम्रा पिताहरूले र हामीहरूले बोक्न नसकेको जुवा चेलाहरूको घाँटीमा राख्नैपर्छ भनी तपाईंहरू किन परमेश्वरको परीक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ?
Now therefore why do you test God, that you should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 तर हामी विश्वास गर्दछौँ कि हामीहरू प्रभु येशूको अनुग्रहद्वारा बचाइनेछौँ, जसरी तिनीहरू पनि बचाइए ।’’
But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they were.”
12 तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरूको विवरण सुनिरहँदा सारा भिड चुपचाप रह्यो ।
All the multitude kept silent while they listened to Barnabas and Paul report the signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them.
13 तिनीहरूले बोल्न छोडेपछि, याकूबले जवाफ दिँदै भने, “भाइहरू हो, मेरा कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।
After they stopped speaking, James answered, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरूबाटै एक जाति लिनलाई कसरी पहिले गैरयहूदीहरूलाई कृपादृष्टिकासाथ सहायता गर्नुभयो भनी सिमोनले बताएका छन् ।
Simon has told how God first graciously helped the Gentiles in order to take from them a people for his name.
15 यससँग अगमवक्ताका वचनहरू सहमत छन्, किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ,
The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written,
16 यी कुराहरूपछि म फर्केर आउनेछु, र म दाऊदको ढलेको पाल फेरि निर्माण गर्नेछु, यसका भग्नावशेषहरूलाई म उठाउनेछु र फेरी पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
'After these things I will return, and I will build again the tent of David, which has fallen down; I will set up and restore its ruins again,
17 ताकि बाँकी रहेको मानिसहरू र सबै गैरयहूदीहरू लगायत मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइएकाहरूले प्रभुलाई खोज्न सकून्।
so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, including all the Gentiles called by my name.'
This is what the Lord says, who has done these things that have been known from ancient times. (aiōn g165)
19 त्यसकारण मेरो विचार यो छ कि परमेश्वरतिर फर्कने गैरयहूदीहरूलाई हामीले दुःख दिनुहुँदैन ।
Therefore, my opinion is, that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God.
20 तर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई यो लेख्छौँ कि तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरूको अशुद्धताबाट, व्यभिचारबाट र घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको मासु र रगतबाट अलग रहून् ।
But we will write to them that they must keep away from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, and from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.
21 किनभने हरेक सहरमा मोशाको व्यवस्थाका कुराहरू हरेक सबाथमा पुस्तौंदेखि मानिसहरूले सभाघरहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र पढ्दै आएका छन् ।”
For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from the ancient times and he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 त्यसपछि मण्डलीका अगुवाहरू यहूदा बरसाबास र सिलासलाई छानेर पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा तिनीहरूलाई एन्टिओखिया पठाउने कुरा सबै प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू र सारा मण्डलीसहितलाई कुरा असल लाग्यो ।
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, who were leaders of the church, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas.
23 तिनीहरूले यो लेखे, “एन्टिओखिया, सिरिया र किलिकियामा भएका गैरयहूदी भाइहरू, प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू, भाइहरूलाई अभिवादन ।
They wrote this: “From the apostles and elders, your brothers, to the Gentile brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings!
24 हामीले त्यस्तो गर्ने आज्ञा नगरेका केही मानिसहरू हाम्रो बिचबाट तपाईंहरूकहाँ आएर तपाईंहरूको आत्मालाई दु: खित पार्ने खालका शिक्षाहरू दिएर तपाईंहरूलाई दुःख दिइरहेका छन् ।
We have heard that certain men have gone out from us, with no orders from us, and have disturbed you with teachings that upset your souls.
25 त्यसैकारण हाम्रा प्रिय पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा कोही मानिसहरूलाई छानेर तपाईंहरूकहाँ पठाउन हामी सहमत भयौँ र यो हामी सबैलाई असल लाग्यो ।
This being so, all of us have agreed to choose men and to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 यी हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको खातिर आफ्नो जीवनलाई जोखिममा पारेका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 त्यसैले हामीले यहूदा र सिलासलाई पठाएका छौँ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही कुराहरू बताउनेछन् ।
Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same thing themselves in their own words.
28 किनभने यी आवश्यक कुराहरूभन्दा बढि ठुलो भार तपाईंहरूमाथि नबोकाउन पवित्र आत्मा र हामीलाई असल लाग्यो ।
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:
29 तपाईंहरू मूर्तिहरूलाई चढाइएका बलिदानका कुराहरू, रगत, घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको थोकहरू र यौन अनैतिकताबाट अलग रहनुहोस् । यदि तपाईंहरूले आफैँलाई यी कुराहरूबाट अलग राख्नुभयो भने तपाईंहरूलाई भलो हुनेछ । बिदा ।”
that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, blood, things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, it shall be well with you. Farewell.”
30 जब उनीहरू बिदा भएर एन्टिओखियामा आए । तिनीहरूलेभिडलाई एकसाथ भेला पारेपछि पत्र दिए ।
So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; after they gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31 जब तिनीहरूले यसलाई पढे, उत्साहको कारण तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए ।
When they had read it, they rejoiced because of the encouragement.
32 यहूदा र सिलास पनि अगमवक्ताहरू भएकोले धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा भाइहरूलाई उत्साह दिए र तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पारे ।
Judas and Silas, also prophets, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
33 उनीहरूले त्यहाँ केही समय बिताइसकेपछि भाइहरूको बिचबाट उनीहरूलाई पठाउनेहरूकहाँ शान्तिसाथ पठाइयो ।
After they had spent some time there, they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those who had sent them.
34 (टिप्पणी: सबैभन्दा उत्तम प्राचीन पाण्डुलिपिहरूले “३४” पदलाई छोडेका छन् (प्रेरित १५:४० हेर्नुहोस्) तर सिमोनलाई त्यहाँ रहन नै असल लाग्यो ।
35 तर पावल र बारनाबास अरु धेरैकासाथ एन्टिओखियामा बसे । जहाँउनी सिकाए र प्रभुको वचन प्रचार गरे ।
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch along with many others, where they taught and proclaimed the word of the Lord.
36 केही दिनपछि पावलले बारनाबासलाई भने, “अहिले हामी फर्केर जाऔँ र हामीले प्रभुको वचन घोषणा गरेको हरेक सहरका भाइहरूलाई भेटौँ, र उनीहरू कस्ता छन हेरौँ ।
After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return now and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.”
37 बारनाबासले मर्कूस भनिने यूहन्नालाई पनि तिनीहरूसँगै लैजान चाहन्थे ।
Barnabas wanted to also take with them John who was called Mark.
38 तर पावलले मर्कूसलाई लिएर जान ठिक छैन भनी विचार गरे । किनभने पाम्फिलियामा हुँदा उनी तिनीहरूबाट छुट्टिएर उनीहरूसँग काममा अगाडि गएनन् ।
But Paul thought it was not good to take Mark, who had left them in Pamphylia and did not go further with them in the work.
39 तब त्यहाँ कडा असहमति उत्पन्न भयो । त्यसैकारण उनीहरू एकअर्काबाट छुट्टिए । अनि बारनाबासले मर्कूसलाई आफूसँगै लिएर साइप्रसतिर समुद्रयात्रा गरे ।
Then there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.
40 तर पावलले सिलासलाई छाने । भाइहरूद्वारा प्रभुको अनुग्रहमा सुम्पिएपछि उनी त्यहाँबाट बिदा भए ।
But Paul chose Silas and left, after he was entrusted by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41 र उनी मण्डलीहरूलाई बलियो पार्दै सिरिया र किलिकिया भएर गए ।
Then he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
