प्रेरित 9
1 तर शाऊल अझै प्रभुका चेलाहरूको विरुद्धमा हत्याको धम्की दिँदै प्रधान पूजाहारीकहाँ गए
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 र त्यस मार्गका पुरुष होस् या स्त्री जोसुकैलाई बाँधेर यरूशलेममा ल्याउन पाऊँ भनी तिनले दमस्कसका सभाघरहको नाउँमा पत्र मागे ।
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 तिनी जाँदै गर्दा जब तिनी दमस्कस नजिकै आइपुगे तब अकस्मात् तिनको वरिपरि स्वर्गबाट आएको ज्योति चम्क्यो ।
As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 तिनी भुइँमा ढले र तिनले यसो भन्ने आवाज सुने, “ए शाऊल, ए शाऊल, किन तिमी मेरो खेदो गर्दैछौ?”
He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तपाईं को हुनुहुन्छ?” प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “म येशू हुँ जसको तिमी खेदो गर्दैछौ ।
He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 तर उठ र सहरमा जाऊ र तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई बताइनेछ ।”
But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
7 शाऊलसँगै यात्रा गर्ने मानिसहरूले आवाजचाहिँ सुने तर तिनीहरूले कसैलाई देखेनन् र तिनीहरू अवाक् भई उभिरहे ।
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 शाऊल भुइँबाट उठे र तिनले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्दा तिनले केही देखेनन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले हात समातेर तिनलाई दमस्कस पुर्याए ।
Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 तिनी तिन दिनसम्म दृष्टिविहीन भए र तिनले न खाए न पिए ।
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 दमस्कसमा हननिया नाउँ गरेका चेला थिए । प्रभुले दर्शनमा तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए हननिया” तिनले भने, “प्रभु, म यहीँ छु ।”
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11 प्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ र सोझो भनिने गल्लीमा जाऊ र त्यहाँ यहूदाको घरमा टार्ससका शाऊल नाउँ गरेका मानिसको खोजी गर । किनकि तिनी प्रार्थना गर्दैछन् ।
The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12 र तिनले दृष्टि पाउन सकून् भनेर तिनले दर्शनमा हननिया नाउँका मानिसले तिनीमाथि हात राखेको देखेका छन् ।”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
13 तर हननियाले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तिनले यरूशलेममा तपाईंका पवित्र मानिसहरूलाई कति धेरै हानि पुर्याएका छन् भन्ने बारेमा मैले धेरै मानिसहरूबाट सुनेको छु ।
But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 तपाईंको नाउँ लिने हरेकलाई गिरफ्तार गर्न तिनले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूबाट अधिकार पाएका छन् ।”
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
15 तर प्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ, किनकि अन्यजातिहरू र राजाहरू र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूको सामु मेरो नाउँ प्रचार गर्न तिनी छानिएका एक पात्र हुन् ।
But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 किनकि मेरो नाउँको खातिर तिनले कति धेरै दुःख भोग्नुपर्नेछ भनी म तिनलाई देखाउनेछु ।”
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17 त्यसैले, हननिया गए र त्यस घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । तिनीमाथि आफ्ना हात राख्दै उनले भने, “भाइ शाऊल, तिमीले आफ्नो दृष्टि पाउन सक र पवित्र आत्माले भरिन सक भनी तिमी आउँदा बाटोमा देखा पर्नुहुने प्रभु येशूले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 तुरुन्तै शाऊलका आँखाबाट पाप्राजस्ता केही खसे र तिनले दृष्टि पाए । तिनी उठे र बप्तिस्मा लिए ।
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 तिनले केही खाएपछि तिनमा ताकत आयो । तिनी केही दिनसम्म दमस्कसका चेलाहरूसँगै बसे ।
He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 तुरुन्तै येशू नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भन्दै तिनले सभाघरहरूमा उहाँको प्रचार गरे ।
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
21 तिनका कुरा सुन्नेहरू सबै छक्क परे र तिनीहरूले भने, “यरूशलेममा यो नाउँ लिनेहरूलाई नष्ट गर्ने मानिस यिनी नै होइनन् र? के तिनी उनीहरूलाई बाँधेर मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूकहाँ लैजान यहाँ आएका होइनन् र?”
All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
22 तर प्रचारको लागि शाऊल अझै शक्तिशाली बने र येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने प्रमाण दिएर दमस्कसमा बस्ने यहूदीहरूलाई तिनले अकमक्क पारिदिए ।
But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 धेरै दिन बितेपछि यहूदीहरूले तिनलाई मार्ने षड्यन्त्र रचे ।
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 तर शाऊलले तिनीहरूको षड्यन्त्र थाहा पाए । तिनलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले तिनीहरू दिनरात ढोकाहरूमा चेवा गरेर बस्थे ।
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 तर तिनका चेलाहरूले तिनलाई राती नै पर्खालबाट टोकरीमा हालेर खसालिदिए ।
but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 शाऊल यरूशलेममा आएपछि तिनी चेलाहरूसँग मिल्न खोजे । तर तिनी चेला हुन् भन्ने कुरा नपत्याएर तिनीहरू सबै तिनीदेखि डराए ।
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 तर बारनाबासले तिनलाई चेलाहरूकहाँ ल्याए । दमस्कसको बाटोमा कसरी शाऊलले प्रभुलाई देखे र प्रभु तिनीसित बोल्नुभयो अनि दमस्कसमा कसरी तिनले साहसपूर्वक येशूको नाउँ प्रचार गरे भनी तिनले उनीहरूलाई बताए ।
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 यरूशलेमको भित्र-बाहिर गर्दा तिनले उनीहरूलाई भेटे । तिनले साहसपूर्वक प्रभु येशूको नाउँमा बोले ।
He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29 र तिनले ग्रिक-यहूदीहरूसित वादविवाद गरे । तथापि उनीहरूले तिनलाई मार्न खोजिरहे ।
preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 भाइहरूले यो कुरा थाहा पाएर तिनलाई कैसरिया ल्याए र त्यहाँबाट तिनलाई टार्सस पठाइदिए ।
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 यसरी सारा यहूदिया, गालील र सामरियाभरिका मण्डलीमा शान्ति छायो र मण्डली मजबुत भयो । परमप्रभुको भय र पवित्र आत्माको सान्त्वनामा मण्डली सङ्ख्यामा बढ्दै गयो ।
So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 पत्रुस पुरै इलाकामा जाने क्रममा तिनी लुड्डा नगरमा बस्ने परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूकहाँ पनि आइपुगे ।
As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 तिनले त्यहाँ एनियास नाउँका कोही एक जना मानिसलाई भेट्टाए जो आठ वर्षसम्म ओछ्यानमा थिए किनकि तिनलाई पक्षाघात भएको थियो ।
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
34 पत्रुसले तिनलाई भने, “ए एनियास, येशू ख्रीष्टले तिमीलाई निको पार्नुहुन्छ । उठ र तिम्रो ओछ्यान मिलाऊ ।” तिनी तुरुन्तै उठे ।
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
35 लुड्डा र शारोनमा बस्ने सबैले ती मानिसलाई देखे र तिनीहरू प्रभुमा आए ।
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 अब योप्पामा तबीता (ग्रिकमा डोरकास) नाउँकी एक जना चेली थिइन् । यी स्त्री असल काम र कृपापूर्ण कार्यले भरिएकी थिइन् र उनले गरिबहरूको हेरचाह गर्थिन् ।
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 ती दिनमा उनी बिरामी परिन् र मरिन् । तिनीहरूले उनको मृत शरीरलाई धोएर माथिल्लो कोठामा राखे ।
In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 लुड्डा योप्पाबाट नजिकै भएकोले र पत्रुस त्यहाँ थिए भनी चेलाहरूले सुनेकाले तिनीहरूले यस्तो अनुरोध गर्न तिनीकहाँ दुई जना मानिस पठाए, “विलम्ब नगरीकन हामीकहाँ आइदिनुहोस् ।”
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39 पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूसँगै गए । तिनी आइपुगेपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई माथिल्लो कोठामा लगे । पत्रुसको नजिकै बसेका सबै विधवाहरू रुँदै थिए र तिनीहरूले डोरकास तिनीहरूसँग छँदा उनले बनाएका वस्त्रहरू र अरू पोशाकहरू तिनलाई देखाउँदै थिए ।
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 पत्रुसले सबैलाई कोठाबाट बाहिर पठाए र घुँडा टेकी प्रार्थना गरे । मृतकपट्टि फर्केर तिनले भने, “ए तबीता, उठ ।” उनले आफ्ना आँखा खोलिन् र पत्रुसलाई देखेपछि उनी बसिन् ।
Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 त्यसपछि पत्रुसले उनलाई आफ्ना हातले उठाए । तिनले विश्वासीहरू र विधवाहरूलाई डाके र तिनीहरूको उपस्थितिमा उनलाई जीवित प्रस्तुत गरे ।
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 यो खबर सारा योप्पाभरि फैलियो र धेरै मानिसहरूले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे ।
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 पत्रुस धेरै दिनसम्म योप्पामा सिमोन नाउँ गरेका चर्मकारसँग बसे ।
He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
