प्रेरित 13
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 in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, 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 ।”
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me 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 ।
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 त्यसकारण पवित्र आत्माको आज्ञा शाऊल र बारनाबासले माने र तल सिलुसियामा गए, अनि त्यहाँबाट जहाज चढी साइप्रसको टापुतिर गए ।
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 सलामिस सहरमा हुँदा, उनीहरूले यहूदीहरूको सभाघरमा वचन घोषणा गरे र सहायताका लागि यूहन्ना मर्कूस पनि उनीहरूसँगै थिए ।
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 उनीहरू पुरै टापु पार गरेर पाफोस पुगेपछि एक जना जादुगर यहूदी झुटा अगमवक्तालाई भेट्टाए, जसको नाउँ बार येशू थियो ।
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, 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 ।
Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired 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 sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 तर शाऊल जसलाई पावल पनि भनिन्छ, पवित्र आत्माले भरिएर, उसलाई एकटक लाएर हेरे
Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on 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?
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right 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, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking 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 the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 अब त्यसपछि पावल र उनका साथीहरू पाफोसबाट पानीजहाजमा चढी पाम्फिलियाको पर्गामा आए । तर यूहन्नाले उनीहरूलाई छोडेर यरूशलेमतिर फर्के ।
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and 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 ।
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and 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 ।”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 त्यसकारण पावल उठे र हातले इसारा गर्दै उनले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र जसले परमेश्वरलाई आदर गर्नुहुन्छ, सुन्नुहोस् ।
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
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 of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 उहाँले झण्डै चालिस वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूलाई उजाड स्थानमा सहनुभयो।
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 कनानमा भएका सातवटा जातिहरूलाई उहाँले नास गरिसकेपछि हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको भूमि आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारका लागि दिनुभयो ।
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land 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 that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 त्यसपछि, मानिसहरूले एउटा राजाको माग गरे, त्यसैले परमेश्वरले बेन्यामिन कुलको किशका छोरा शाऊललाई चालिस वर्षसम्मको निम्ति दिनुभयो ।
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of 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 when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 यिनै मानिसका सन्तानहरूबाट उहाँले गर्नेछु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार परमेश्वरले इस्राएलमा मुक्तिदाता येशू ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 येशू आउनुभन्दा अगाडि नै यो हुन थाल्यो, जब यूहन्नाले पहिला इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई पश्चात्तापको बप्तिस्माको बारेमा घोषणा गरे ।
When John had first preached before his 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 ।’
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his 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 stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth 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 that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
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, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 जब तिनीहरूले उहाँको बारेमा लेखिएका यी सबै कुराहरू पुरा गरे, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई रुखबाट ओराले र चिहानमा राखे ।
And when they had fulfilled all that was 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 of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 यसकारण हाम्रा पितापुर्खाहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको असल समाचार हामीले तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याएकाछौँ ।
And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the 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 ।’
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; 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 ।’
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 यसैकारणले गर्दा उहाँले अर्को भजन पनि यसरी भन्नुभएको छ, ‘तपाईंले आफ्नो पवित्र जनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछैन ।’
Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine 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, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 तर जसलाई परमेश्वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो उहाँलको शरीर कुहिएन ।
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 त्यसैले भाइहरू हो, यो कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा होस् कि यिनै मानिसद्वारा तपाईंहरूलाई पाप क्षमाको घोषणा गरिन्छ ।
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 विश्वास गर्ने हरेक उहाँद्वारा सबै थोकहरूबाट धर्मी ठहरिइन्छ, जसबाट मोशाको व्यवस्थाले तपाईंहरूलाई धर्मी ठहराउन सकेको थिएन ।
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 यसैकारण होसियार हुनुहोस्, अगमवक्ताले बोलेको यो कुरा तपाईंहरूमाथि आइनपरोस्:
Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in 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 work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
42 पावल र बारनाबास त्यहाँबाट जान लाग्दा मानिसहरूले यी नै वचनहरू अर्को विश्राममा आएर बोलिदिनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई बिन्ती गरे ।
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next 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 ।
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 अर्को विश्राममा, लगभग पुरै सहर नै प्रभुको वचन सुन्नलाई सँगसँगै भेलाभएको थियो ।
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city 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 when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
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 waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting 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 commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends 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)
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 त्यस सम्पूर्ण क्षेत्रभरि नै प्रभुको वचन फैलियो ।
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the 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 ।
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 तर पावल र बारनाबासले आफ्नो खुट्टामा लागेको धुलो तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा टकटक्याए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आइकोनियम सहरमा गए ।
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 अनि चेलाहरू आनन्द र पवित्र आत्माले भरपुर भए ।
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
