1 एन्टिओखियाको सभामा त्यहाँ केही अगमवक्‍ताहरू र शिक्षकहरू थिए । तिनीहरूमा बारनाबास, सिमियोन (जसलाई नाइजर भनिन्‍थ्यो), कुरेनीका लुसियस मनेन (जो पालनपोषण गरेर हेरोदसँगै हुर्किएका भाइ) र शाऊल थिए ।
NOW there were at Antioch, according to the established church, prophets and teachers; such as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger the black, and Lucius a Cyrenian, and Manaen, Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother, and Saul.
2 जब तिनीहरू उपवाससहित आराधना गरिरहेका थिए, पवित्र आत्माले भन्‍नुभयो, “शाऊल र बारनाबासलाई मेरो निम्ति अलग गर जुन काम गर्नका निम्ति मैले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाएको छु ।”
And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 सभाले उपवास प्रार्थना गरिसकेपछि, र तिनीहरूले यी मानिसहरूमाथि हातहरू राखेर प्रार्थना गरे र उनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
Then having kept a fast and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them out.
4 त्यसकारण पवित्र आत्माको आज्ञा शाऊल र बारनाबासले माने र तल सिलुसियामा गए, अनि त्यहाँबाट जहाज चढी साइप्रसको टापुतिर गए ।
They then being sent forth indeed by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence sailed to Cyprus.
5 सलामिस सहरमा हुँदा, उनीहरूले यहूदीहरूको सभाघरमा वचन घोषणा गरे र सहायताका लागि यूहन्‍ना मर्कूस पनि उनीहरूसँगै थिए ।
And being at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had John also as their attendant.
6 उनीहरू पुरै टापु पार गरेर पाफोस पुगेपछि एक जना जादुगर यहूदी झुटा अगमवक्‍तालाई भेट्टाए, जसको नाउँ बार येशू थियो ।
Now as they travelled through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain person who professed magic, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
7 यो जादुगर त्यहाँको प्रान्तीय शासक सर्गियस पौलससँग सम्बन्धित थियो, जो एक विद्वान मानिस थिए । उनले शाऊल र बारनाबासलाई बोलाए किनभने तिनी परमेश्‍वरको वचन सुन्‍न चाहन्थे ।
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; he inviting to his house Barnabas and Saul, desired earnestly to hear the word of God.
8 तर इलुमास, ‘‘जादुगर’’ ले तिनीहरूको विरोध गर्‍यो (यसरी नै उसको नाउँ अनुवाद गरिन्छ); उसले प्रान्तीय शासक सर्गियस पौलसलाई विश्‍वासबाट फर्काउन प्रयास गर्‍यो ।
But Elymas the magician (for such is his name when interpreted) opposed them, seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
9 तर शाऊल जसलाई पावल पनि भनिन्छ, पवित्र आत्माले भरिएर, उसलाई एकटक लाएर हेरे
Then Saul (now Paul), filled with the Holy Ghost, and fixing his eyes upon him,
10 र भने, तँ शैतानको छोरो, तँ छल र दुष्‍टताले भरिएको छस् । तँ हरेक प्रकारको धार्मिकताको शत्रु होस् । तैले प्रभुको सोझो बाटोलाई बड्ग्याउन कहिल्यै छोड्दैनस्, छोड्छस् र?
said, O thou full of all guile and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the strait ways of the Lord?
11 अब हेर्, प्रभुको हात तँमाथि परेको छ र तँ अन्धो हुनेछस् । केही समयका लागि तैँले घाम देख्‍ने छैनस् ।’’ तुरुन्तै त्यहाँ बाक्लो तुवाँलो र अन्धकारले एलुमासलाई ढाक्यो र हात समातेर डोर्‍याइदिऊन् भन्दै यताउति मानिसहरूलाई आग्रह गर्न थाल्यो ।
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, seeing the sun no more for a season. And instantly there fell on him a thick mist and darkness; and groping about he sought some to lead him by the hand.
12 प्रान्तीय शासकले जे भएको थियो त्यो देखेपछि उनले विश्‍वास गरे, किनभने उनी प्रभुको शिक्षाबारे चकित भएका थिए ।
Then when the proconsul saw what was done, he believed, being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.
13 अब त्यसपछि पावल र उनका साथीहरू पाफोसबाट पानीजहाजमा चढी पाम्फिलियाको पर्गामा आए । तर यूहन्‍नाले उनीहरूलाई छोडेर यरूशलेमतिर फर्के ।
Hereupon sailing from Paphos, they who were about Paul came to Perga in Pamphylia: but John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 पावल र उनका साथीहरू पर्गाबाट यात्रा गर्दै पिसिदियाको एन्टीओखियामा आइपुगे। त्यहाँ उनीहरू विश्राम दिनमा सभा घरमा गए र बसे ।
And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch in Pisidia, and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down.
15 अनि व्यवस्था र अगमवक्‍ताहरूका पुस्तक पढिसकेपछि सभाघरका अगुवाहरूले उनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर सन्देश पठाए, “भाइहरू हो, यदि तपाईंहरूसँग यहाँ भएका मानिसहरूको निम्ति कुनै उत्साहको सन्देश छ भने भन्‍नुहोस् ।”
Then after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogues sent to them, saying, Men and brethren, if ye are disposed to give a word of exhortation to the people, speak.
16 त्यसकारण पावल उठे र हातले इसारा गर्दै उनले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई आदर गर्नुहुन्छ, सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear me.
17 इस्राएलका यी मानिसहरूका परमेश्‍वरले हाम्रा पितापुर्खाहरूलाई चुनेर र मिश्रदेशमा रहँदा तिनीहरूलाई संख्यामा धेरै बढाउनुभयो र आफ्नो उचालिएको बाहुलीद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट बाहिर निकाल्नुभयो ।”
The God of this people Israel selected our fathers, and exalted the people during their abode in the land of Egypt, and with a mighty arm brought he them out of it.
18 उहाँले झण्डै चालिस वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूलाई उजाड स्थानमा सहनुभयो।
And about the space of forty years he bore with their behaviour in the wilderness.
19 कनानमा भएका सातवटा जातिहरूलाई उहाँले नास गरिसकेपछि हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको भूमि आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारका लागि दिनुभयो ।
And destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their territory to them by lot.
20 यी सबै घटनाहरू हुन चारसय पचास वर्षको अवधिमा भएका हुन् । यी सबै कुरापछि परमेश्‍वरले शमूएल अगमवक्‍ताको समयसम्म तिनीहरूलाई न्यायकर्ताहरू दिनुभयो ।
And after these things, during a space of about four hundred and fifty years, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
21 त्यसपछि, मानिसहरूले एउटा राजाको माग गरे, त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरले बेन्यामिन कुलको किशका छोरा शाऊललाई चालिस वर्षसम्मको निम्ति दिनुभयो ।
And from that time they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.
22 तब परमेश्‍वरले शाऊललाई राजाबाट हटाउनुभएपछि, उहाँले दाऊदलाई तिनीहरूको राजा हुनलाई खडा गर्नुभयो । परमेश्‍वरले यी नै दाऊदको बारेमा भन्‍नुभएको थियो, ‘यिशैका छोरा दाऊद मेरो हृदयअनुसारका मानिस भएको पाएँ र मैले चाहेको हरेक काम उनले गर्नेछन् ।’
And removing him, he raised up unto them David to be king; respecting whom also he spake testifying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall perform all my intentions.”
23 यिनै मानिसका सन्तानहरूबाट उहाँले गर्नेछु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार परमेश्‍वरले इस्राएलमा मुक्तिदाता येशू ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
From this man’s seed according to the promise hath God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 येशू आउनुभन्दा अगाडि नै यो हुन थाल्यो, जब यूहन्‍नाले पहिला इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई पश्‍चात्तापको बप्‍तिस्माको बारेमा घोषणा गरे ।
John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 जसरी यूहन्‍नाले आफ्नो काम पुरा गर्दै गर्दा उनले भने, ‘तिमीहरू म को हुँ भनी विचार गर्दछौ? म त्यो होइनँ । तर सुन, मपछि एकजना आउँदैहुनुहुन्छ, जसको खुट्टाको जुत्ताको तुना फुकाल्न म योग्यको छैनँ ।’
But as John was finishing his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not the Messiah. But, behold! he is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 भाइहरू, अब्राहामका वंशका सन्तानहरू, र तपाईंहरूमध्ये जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई आराधना गर्नुहुन्छ, यो मुक्तिबारेको सन्देश हामीहरूलाई नै पठाइएको छ ।
Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 यरूशलेममा बस्‍नेहरू र तिनीहरूका शासकहरूले उहाँलाई वास्तमै चिनेनन्, न त हरेक शबाथमा पढिने अगमवक्‍ताहरूको आवजलाई नै बुझे । त्यसकारण तिनीहरूले यसरी येशूलाई मृत्यु दण्डको आज्ञा दिएर अगमवक्‍ताको भविष्यवाणीलाई पुरा गरे ।
For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, being ignorant of him, and the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath-day, by condemning him have fulfilled them.
28 उहाँलाई मृत्यु दण्डका निम्ति कुनै पनि दोष नभेट्टाए तापनि तिनीहरूले पिलातससँग उहाँलाई मार्न माग गरे ।
And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed.
29 जब तिनीहरूले उहाँको बारेमा लेखिएका यी सबै कुराहरू पुरा गरे, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई रुखबाट ओराले र चिहानमा राखे ।
But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30 तर परमेश्‍वरले उहाँलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभयो ।
But God raised him from the dead:
31 गालीलदेखि यरूशलेमसम्म उहाँसँगै आएका मानिसहरूकहाँ उहाँ धेरै दिनसम्म देखापर्नु भयो । अहिले यिनीहरू नै मानिसहरूका लागि उहाँका साक्षी भएका छन् ।
and he was seen many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 यसकारण हाम्रा पितापुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको असल समाचार हामीले तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याएकाछौँ ।
And we preach to you the promise made to our fathers;
33 परमेश्‍वरले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुहुँदा, हामी तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरूका निम्ति उहाँले यी प्रतिज्ञाहरू पुरागरिदिनुभयो । जसरी यो दोस्रो भजनमा पनि लेखिएको छः ‘तिमी मेरा पुत्र हौ, आज म तिम्रो पिता भएको छु ।’
for this hath God fulfilled to their children, even to us, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, “Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”
34 उहाँको शरीर नकुहोस् भनी उहाँले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभयो भन्‍ने तथ्यबारे उहाँले यसरी बोल्नुभएको छ, ‘म तिमीलाई दाऊदको पवित्र र निश्‍चित आशिष् दिनेछु ।’
But that he raised him from the dead, no more in future to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken, “I will give you the holy things of David, which are sure.”
35 यसैकारणले गर्दा उहाँले अर्को भजन पनि यसरी भन्‍नुभएको छ, ‘तपाईंले आफ्नो पवित्र जनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछैन ।’
Wherefore also he saith in another place, “Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption.”
36 किनभने दाऊदले उनको पुस्तामा परमेश्‍वरको इच्छाअनुसार सेवा गरेपछि, उनको मृत्य भयो र उनलाई उनका पितापुर्खाहरूसँगै राखियो र उनको शरीर कुहियो ।
For David indeed, after having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 तर जसलाई परमेश्‍वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो उहाँलको शरीर कुहिएन ।
But he, whom God raised up, saw no corruption.
38 त्यसैले भाइहरू हो, यो कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा होस् कि यिनै मानिसद्वारा तपाईंहरूलाई पाप क्षमाको घोषणा गरिन्छ ।
Be it therefore known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man remission of sin is proclaimed to you:
39 विश्‍वास गर्ने हरेक उहाँद्वारा सबै थोकहरूबाट धर्मी ठहरिइन्छ, जसबाट मोशाको व्यवस्थाले तपाईंहरूलाई धर्मी ठहराउन सकेको थिएन ।
and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses.
40 यसैकारण होसियार हुनुहोस्, अगमवक्‍ताले बोलेको यो कुरा तपाईंहरूमाथि आइनपरोस्:
Take heed then, that this come not upon you, which is spoken by the prophets;
41 ‘घृणा गर्नेहरू हो, हेर र छक्‍क पर, र नष्‍ट भइजाओ, तिमीहरूको समयमा मैले काम गरिरहेको छु, यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाईं यसबारे घोषणा गरे पनि तिमीहरू कहिल्यै विश्‍वास गर्ने छैनौ ।’”
“Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you.”
42 पावल र बारनाबास त्यहाँबाट जान लाग्दा मानिसहरूले यी नै वचनहरू अर्को विश्राममा आएर बोलिदिनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई बिन्ती गरे ।
But when the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles entreated that these words might be spoken to them the following sabbath.
43 जब सभाघरको सभा अन्त्य भयो, तब धेरै यहूदीहरू र यहूदी मत मान्‍ने भक्तहरू पावल र बारनाबासको पछि लागे । तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको अनुग्रहमा निरन्तर रहिरहन उनीहरूलाई उत्साह दिए ।
And when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, exhorting them, persuaded them to abide stedfast in the grace of God.
44 अर्को विश्राममा, लगभग पुरै सहर नै प्रभुको वचन सुन्‍नलाई सँगसँगै भेलाभएको थियो ।
And on the next sabbath almost all the city thronged together to hear the word of God.
45 जब यहूदीहरूले भिडलाई देखे, तिनीहरू डाहले भरिए, र पावलले भनेका कुराहरूको बिरुद्धमा बोल्न थाले र उनको अपमान गरे।
But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
46 तर पावल र बारनाबासले साहससित बोल्दै भने, “परमेश्‍वरको वचन पहिले तपाईंहरूकहाँ नै बोल्नु नै आवश्यक थियो । तपाईंहरूबाट धकेलिएको देखेर आफूले आफैँलाई अनन्त जीवन प्राप्‍त गर्नदेखि अयोग्य तुल्याउनुभएको हुनाले, हेर्नुहोस्, हामी गैरयहूदी तर्फ फर्केनेछौँ । (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 किनभने परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई यस्तो आज्ञा गर्नुभएको छ, ‘मैले तिमीलाई गैरयहूदीहरूका निम्ति ज्योतिको रूपमा राखेकोछु, र पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्म तिमीहरूले मुक्ति ल्याउनु पर्छ ।”
For so hath the Lord enjoined us, “I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou mightest be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.”
48 जब गैरयहूदीहरूले यो सुने, तिनीहरू खुसी भए र परमेश्‍वरको वचनको महिमा गरे । अनन्त जीवनका लागि नियुक्त गरिएका जतिले विश्‍वास गरे । (aiōnios g166)
Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
49 त्यस सम्पूर्ण क्षेत्रभरि नै प्रभुको वचन फैलियो ।
So the word of the Lord was diffused through the whole region.
50 तर यहूदीहरूले भक्त र महत्त्वपूर्ण स्‍त्रीहरू र साथ-साथै सहरका मुख्य मानिसहरूसँग पावल र बारनाबासको विरुद्धमा अनुरोध गरे । तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासलाई दण्डित गरे उनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको सहरको सिमाना कटाए ।
Then the Jews stirred up the devout women, and those who were respectable, and the principal persons of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
51 तर पावल र बारनाबासले आफ्नो खुट्टामा लागेको धुलो तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा टकटक्याए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आइकोनियम सहरमा गए ।
But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
52 अनि चेलाहरू आनन्द र पवित्र आत्माले भरपुर भए ।
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
