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 ।
And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — 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 in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,'
3 सभाले उपवास प्रार्थना गरिसकेपछि, र तिनीहरूले यी मानिसहरूमाथि हातहरू राखेर प्रार्थना गरे र उनीहरूलाई पठाइदिए ।
then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the 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 ।
These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus,
5 सलामिस सहरमा हुँदा, उनीहरूले यहूदीहरूको सभाघरमा वचन घोषणा गरे र सहायताका लागि यूहन्‍ना मर्कूस पनि उनीहरूसँगै थिए ।
and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John [as] a ministrant;
6 उनीहरू पुरै टापु पार गरेर पाफोस पुगेपछि एक जना जादुगर यहूदी झुटा अगमवक्‍तालाई भेट्टाए, जसको नाउँ बार येशू थियो ।
and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] 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; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire 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 ।
and there withstood them Elymas the magian — for so is his name interpreted — seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
9 तर शाऊल जसलाई पावल पनि भनिन्छ, पवित्र आत्माले भरिएर, उसलाई एकटक लाएर हेरे
And Saul — who also [is] Paul — having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly 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?
said, 'O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting 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, lo, a hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was 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 proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 अब त्यसपछि पावल र उनका साथीहरू पाफोसबाट पानीजहाजमा चढी पाम्फिलियाको पर्गामा आए । तर यूहन्‍नाले उनीहरूलाई छोडेर यरूशलेमतिर फर्के ।
And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,
14 पावल र उनका साथीहरू पर्गाबाट यात्रा गर्दै पिसिदियाको एन्टीओखियामा आइपुगे। त्यहाँ उनीहरू विश्राम दिनमा सभा घरमा गए र बसे ।
and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone 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 ।”
and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 'Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people — say on.'
16 त्यसकारण पावल उठे र हातले इसारा गर्दै उनले भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू र जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई आदर गर्नुहुन्छ, सुन्‍नुहोस् ।
And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, 'Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken:
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 did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it;
18 उहाँले झण्डै चालिस वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूलाई उजाड स्थानमा सहनुभयो।
and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,
19 कनानमा भएका सातवटा जातिहरूलाई उहाँले नास गरिसकेपछि हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको भूमि आफ्नो उत्तराधिकारका लागि दिनुभयो ।
and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land.
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, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges — till Samuel the prophet;
21 त्यसपछि, मानिसहरूले एउटा राजाको माग गरे, त्यसैले परमेश्‍वरले बेन्यामिन कुलको किशका छोरा शाऊललाई चालिस वर्षसम्मको निम्ति दिनुभयो ।
and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for 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 having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.
23 यिनै मानिसका सन्तानहरूबाट उहाँले गर्नेछु भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएअनुसार परमेश्‍वरले इस्राएलमा मुक्तिदाता येशू ल्याउनुभएको छ ।
'Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise 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 first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation 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 was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not [he], but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [his] feet.
26 भाइहरू, अब्राहामका वंशका सन्तानहरू, र तपाईंहरूमध्ये जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई आराधना गर्नुहुन्छ, यो मुक्तिबारेको सन्देश हामीहरूलाई नै पठाइएको छ ।
'Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was 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 those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read — having judged [him] — did fulfil,
28 उहाँलाई मृत्यु दण्डका निम्ति कुनै पनि दोष नभेट्टाए तापनि तिनीहरूले पिलातससँग उहाँलाई मार्न माग गरे ।
and no cause of death having found, they did ask of 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 did complete all the things written about him, having taken [him] down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;
30 तर परमेश्‍वरले उहाँलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभयो ।
and God did raise him out of 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 for many days of those who did come 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 to you do proclaim good news — that the promise 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 in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art — I to-day have 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 that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus — I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;
35 यसैकारणले गर्दा उहाँले अर्को भजन पनि यसरी भन्‍नुभएको छ, ‘तपाईंले आफ्नो पवित्र जनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछैन ।’
wherefore also in another [place] he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind 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, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,
37 तर जसलाई परमेश्‍वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो उहाँलको शरीर कुहिएन ।
but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption.
38 त्यसैले भाइहरू हो, यो कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा होस् कि यिनै मानिसद्वारा तपाईंहरूलाई पाप क्षमाको घोषणा गरिन्छ ।
'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,
39 विश्‍वास गर्ने हरेक उहाँद्वारा सबै थोकहरूबाट धर्मी ठहरिइन्छ, जसबाट मोशाको व्यवस्थाले तपाईंहरूलाई धर्मी ठहराउन सकेको थिएन ।
and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;
40 यसैकारण होसियार हुनुहोस्, अगमवक्‍ताले बोलेको यो कुरा तपाईंहरूमाथि आइनपरोस्:
see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken 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 ।’”
See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I — I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare [it] to you.'
42 पावल र बारनाबास त्यहाँबाट जान लाग्दा मानिसहरूले यी नै वचनहरू अर्को विश्राममा आएर बोलिदिनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई बिन्ती गरे ।
And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon [them] that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,
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 the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.
44 अर्को विश्राममा, लगभग पुरै सहर नै प्रभुको वचन सुन्‍नलाई सँगसँगै भेलाभएको थियो ।
And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered 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।
and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul — contradicting and speaking evil.
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)
And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, 'To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; (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: I have set thee for a light of nations — for thy being for salvation unto the end 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 the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe — as many as were appointed to life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
49 त्यस सम्पूर्ण क्षेत्रभरि नै प्रभुको वचन फैलियो ।
and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through 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 ।
And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders;
51 तर पावल र बारनाबासले आफ्नो खुट्टामा लागेको धुलो तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा टकटक्याए । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आइकोनियम सहरमा गए ।
and they having shaken 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 the Holy Spirit.
