प्रेरित 5
1 अब एक जना हननिया नाउँ गरेका मानिसले आफ्नी पत्नी सफिरासँग मिलेर एक टुक्रा जमिन बेचे ।
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sappirah, his wife, sold a possession,
2 र उनले त्यो पैसाको केही अंश आफूसँगै राखे (यो कुरा उनकी पत्नीलाई पनि थाहा थियो) र यसको बाँकी अंश ल्याएर प्रेरितहरूको पाउमा राखिदिए ।
and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put it at the apostles' feet.
3 तर पत्रुसले भने, “हननिया, पवित्र आत्मालाई झुट बोल्न र त्यस जमिनको मूल्यको केही अंश राख्नलाई तिम्रो हृदयलाई शैतानले किन भर्यो?
But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 यसलाई बिक्री नगर्दा पनि के यो तिम्रो आफ्नो थिएन र? अनि यसलाई बेचिसकेपछि पनि यो तिम्रो आफ्नै नियन्त्रणमा नै थिएन र? तिमीले तिम्रो हृदयमा यस्तो कुरा कसरी सोच्यौ? तिमीले मानिसहरूलाई होइन तर परमेश्वरलाई झुट बोलेका छौ ।
While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God."
5 यी कुराहरू सुनेर हननिया भुइँमा लडे र उनको मृत्यु भयो र यो कुरा सुन्नेहरू सबैमा ठुलो डर छायो ।
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
6 जवान मानिसहरू अगाडि आए र उनलाई कपडाले बेह्रे र तिनीहरूले उनलाई बोकेर बाहिर लगे र गाडे ।
The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 त्यसको झण्डै तिन घण्टापछि उनकी पत्नी त्यहाँ के भएको थियो भन्ने थाहै नपाई भित्र आइन् ।
About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 पत्रुसले उनलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले सो जमिनलाई त्यत्ति नै मूल्यमा बेचेका हौ या होइनौ, मलाई बताऊ ।” उनले भनिन्, “हो, त्यत्तिमा नै हो ।”
Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
9 तब पत्रुसले उनलाई भने, “तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको आत्मालाई जाँच गर्न कसरी सँगै सहमत भयौ? हेर, तिम्रो पतिलाई गाड्नेहरूका पाउ ढोकामा नै छन् र तिनीहरूले तिमीलाई पनि बोकेर बाहिर लानेछन् ।
But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 तिनी तुरुन्तै उनको पाउमा लडिन् र तिनको मृत्यु भयो र ती जवान मानिसहरू भित्र आए र तिनलाई मृत भेट्टाए; तिनीहरूले तिनलाई बोकेर बाहिर लगे र तिनलाई तिनको पतिको नजिकै गाडिदिए ।
She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
11 पुरै मण्डलीमा र यी कुराहरू सुन्ने सबैमा ठुलो डर छायो ।
Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.
12 प्रेरितहरूको हातद्वारा मानिसहरूका बिचमा धेरै चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरू भइरहेका थिए । तिनीहरू सबै सोलोमनको दलानमा सँगै थिए ।
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 तिनीहरूलाई मानिसहरूद्वारा उच्च सम्मान मिलेको भए तापनि कसैले पनि तिनीहरूसँगै सामेल हुन साहस गरेनन् ।
None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
14 अझ धेरै विश्वासीहरू अर्थात् असंख्य स्त्रीहरू र पुरुषहरू प्रभुमा थपिँदै थिए ।
More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
15 पत्रुस त्यहाँबाट भएर आउँदा तिनको छाया तिनीहरूमध्ये कोहीमाथि परोस् भनेर तिनीहरूले बिरामीहरूलाई गल्लीहरूमा बोकेर ल्याए र तिनीहरूलाई खाट र पलङहरूमा राखे ।
They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.
16 त्यहाँ यरूशलेम वरिपरिका सहरहरूबाट पनि बिरामी र अशुद्ध आत्माले सताइएका मानिसहरू ठुलो संख्यामा आए र तिनीहरू सबैले निको भए ।
Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
17 तर प्रधान पूजाहारी र उनीसँग रहनेहरू सबै जना (जुन सदूकीहरूको सम्प्रदाय हो) उठे र तिनीहरू ईर्ष्याले भरिए ।
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18 तिनीहरूले प्रेरितहरूमाथि हात हाले र तिनीहरूलाई सार्वजनिक झ्यालखानामा थुनिदिए ।
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
19 तर रातको समयमा परमप्रभुका एउटा दूतले झ्यालखानाका ढोकाहरू खोलिदिए र तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर लगे र भने,
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
20 “जाओ र त्यस मन्दिरमा खडा होओ र यस जीवनका सबै वचनहरू मानिसहरूलाई बताओ ।”
"Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
21 जब तिनीहरूले यो कुरा सुने तब तिनीहरू सबेरै मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गरे र शिक्षा दिए । तर प्रधान पूजाहारी र तिनीहरूसँग भएकाहरू आए र परिषद्लाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका एल्डरहरूसँगै बोलाए र प्रेरितहरूलाई ल्याउन लगाउनलाई झ्यालखानामा पठाए ।
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 तर ती गएका अधिकारीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई झ्यालखानामा भेट्टाएनन् र तिनीहरू फर्केर आए र प्रतिवेदन दिए ।
But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
23 “हामीले झ्यालखानालाई राम्ररी बन्द गरिएको पायौँ र पहरेदारहरू ढोकामा उभिरहेका थिए, तर त्यसलाई खोल्दा हामीले भित्र कोही पनि भेट्टाएनौँ ।”
"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
24 जब मन्दिरका कप्तान र मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूले यी कुराहरू सुने, के हुने होला भनी तिनीहरू अन्योलमा परे ।
Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
25 तब कोही तिनीहरूकहाँ आए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरूले झ्यालखानामा राख्नुभएका ती मानिसहरू, मन्दिरमा खडा भएर मानिसहरूलाई सिकाइरहेका छन् ।”
One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
26 त्यसैले, कप्तान हाकिमहरूसँगै गए र तिनीहरूलाई हिंसाविना नै फर्काएर ल्याए । किनकि तिनीहरू मानिसहरूले ढुङ्गाले हान्लान् भनी डराए ।
Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
27 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई ल्याएपछि, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई सभाको अगि राखे । प्रधान पूजाहारीले उनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर सोधपुछ गरे,
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
28 “हामीले तिमीहरूलाई यस नाउँमा नसिकाउनलाई कडा आज्ञा दियौँ तर पनि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो शिक्षाले यरूशलेम भरिसकेका छौ र त्यस मानिसको रगत हामीमाथि ल्याउने इच्छा गर्छौ ।”
saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
29 तर पत्रुस र प्रेरितहरूले जवाफ दिए, “हामीले मानिसहरूको भन्दा परमेश्वरको आज्ञा पालन गर्नु पर्छ ।
But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
30 हाम्रा पितापुर्खाका परमेश्वरले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट उठाउनु भयो, जसलाई तपाईंहरूले रुखमा झुण्ड्याएर मार्नुभयो ।
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
31 परमेश्वरले इस्राएललाई पश्चात्ताप गर्न र पापको क्षमा प्रदान गर्न उहाँलाई राजकुमार र मुक्तिदाता हुनलाई आफ्नो दाहिने हाततर्फ उचाल्नु भयो ।
God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 हामीहरू यी कुराहरूका साक्षी छौँ र पवित्र आत्मा पनि यसको साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई परमेश्वरले उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गर्नेहरूलाई दिनुभएको छ ।”
We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 जब परिषद्का सदस्यहरूले यो सुने तब तिनीहरू क्रुद्ध भए र प्रेरितहरूलाई मार्ने चाहना गरे ।
But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
34 तर गमलिएल नाउँ गरेका फरिसी र व्यवस्थाका एक जना शिक्षक थिए जो सबै मानिसहरूद्वारा सम्मानित थिए । उनी उभिए र केही समयको लागि प्रेरितहरूलाई बाहिर रहनलाई आज्ञा गरे ।
But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
35 तब उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, तपाईंहरूले यी मानिसहरूलाई जे गर्नलाई प्रस्ताव गर्नुभएको छ, त्यसमा राम्ररी ध्यान दिनुहोस् ।
He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
36 केही समयअगि, थूदास केही हुँ भन्ने दाबी गर्दै खडा भयो, र झण्डै चार सय जना मानिस त्योसँगै लागे । त्यो मारियो र त्यसका आज्ञा पालन गर्नेहरू सबै तितरवितर भए र त्यो सब छरपस्ट भयो ।
For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
37 त्यो मानिसपछि जनगणनाको समयमा गालीलको यहूदा खडा भयो र कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो पछि खिँच्यो । त्यो पनि नष्ट भयो र उसका आज्ञा पालन गर्दै आइरहेकाहरू सबै छरपस्ट भए ।
After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 अब म तपाईंहरूलाई भन्छु कि यी मानिसहरूबाट टाढै रहनुहोस् र यिनीहरूलाई छोडिदिनुहोस् किनकि यदि यो योजना वा काम मानिसहरूको हो भने, यो पतन हुनेछ ।
Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown.
39 तर यदि यो परमेश्वरको हो भने, तपाईंहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पतन गराउन सक्नुहुन्न र तपाईंहरूले आफैँलाई परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा लडिरहेको पाउनु हुनेछ ।” यसरी तिनीहरूले तिनको कुरा माने ।
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
40 तब तिनीहरूले प्रेरितहरूलाई भित्र बोलाए र उनीहरूलाई कुटे र येशूको नाउँमा नबोल्नलाई आज्ञा गरे र तिनीहरूलाई जान दिए ।
They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 तिनीहरू त्यस नाउँको निम्ति अपमान भोग्न योग्यका गनिएकामा तिनीहरूले अनान्दित हुँदै त्यो परिषद् छाडे ।
They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 त्यसपछि हरेक दिन मन्दिर र घर-घरमा, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर येशूलाई नै ख्रीष्टको रूपमा सिकाइरहेका र प्रचार गरिरहेका थिए ।
Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.
