Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
थियोफिलस, मैले पहिला लेखेको पुस्तकले येशूलाई माथि नलगिएसम्म उहाँले गर्न र सिकाउन थाल्नुभएका सबै कुरा बताएको छ ।
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
उहाँले चुन्नुभएका प्रेरितहरूलाई पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभएपछि यसो भएको थियो ।
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
उहाँको कष्टभोगपछि उहाँले धेरै विश्वसनीय प्रमाणसहित आफैँलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ जीवित प्रस्तुत गर्नुभयो । उहाँ चालिस दिनसम्म उनीहरूकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र परमेश्वरको राज्यको बारेमा बताउनु भयो ।
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, says he, you have heard of me.
उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग भेटघाट गरिरहँदा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई यरूशलेम नछोड्न, तर पिताको प्रतिज्ञाको प्रतीक्षा गर्नलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो । त्यसको बारेमा उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले मबाट सुन्यौ
5 For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
कि वास्तवमा यूहन्नाले पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिए, तर केही दिनमा नै तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
तिनीहरू सँगै भेलाहुँदा, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई सोधे, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले इस्राएल राज्य पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहुने समय यही हो?”
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “पिताले उहाँको अधिकारद्वारा तोक्नुभएको समय र ऋतुहरू जान्ने काम तिमीहरूको होइन ।
8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
तर जब पवित्र आत्मा तिमीहरूमाथि आउनुहुन्छ, तिमीहरूले शक्ति प्राप्त गर्नेछौ, अनि तिमीहरू यरूशलेममा र सारा यहूदियामा र सामरिया र पृथ्वीको अन्तिम छेउसम्मै मेरा साक्षीहरू हुनेछौ ।”
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
येशूले यी कुराहरू भनिसक्नुभएपछि, तिनीहरूले माथि हेरिरहँदा उहाँलाई माथि उठाइयो, र बादलले उहाँलाई तिनीहरूका आँखाबाट छेक्यो ।
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा तिनीहरूले स्वर्गतिर उत्कटतापूर्वक हेरिररहेका बेला सेतो वस्त्र पहिरेका दुई जना मानिस अचानक तिनीहरूका छेउमा खडा भए ।
11 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
तिनीहरूले भने, “हे गालीलका मानिसहरू हो, तिमीहरू यहाँ उभिएर किन स्वर्गतिर हेरिरहन्छौ? स्वर्ग आरोहण हुनुभएका यी येशूलाई तिमीहरूले जसरी स्वर्गतिर गइरहेका देखेका छौ, उहाँ त्यसरी नै फर्कनुहुनेछ ।
12 Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेम नजिकै पर्ने जैतून डाँडाबाट यरूशलेमतिर फर्के, जुन एक शबाथ दिनको यात्रा जति टाढा थियो ।
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where stayed both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
तिनीहरू आइपुगेपछि तिनीहरू बसिरहेका माथिल्लो कोठामा गए । तिनीहरू पत्रुस, यूहन्ना, याकूब, अन्द्रियास, फिलिप, थोमा, बारथोलोमाइ, मत्ती, अल्फयसका छोरा याकूब, उग्रवादी सिमोन र यकूबका छोरा यहूदा थिए ।
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
तिनीहरू एकै मनको भएर प्रार्थनामा यत्नपूर्वक लागिरहे । त्यहाँ येशूकी आमा मरियम लगायत अन्य महिलाहरू र उहाँका भाइहरू पनि थिए ।
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
ती दिनहरूमा झण्डै १२० जना भाइका माझमा पत्रुस खडा भए र भने,
16 Men and brothers, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
“भाइहरू हो, येशूलाई पक्राऊ गर्नलाई अगुवाइ गर्ने यहूदाको बारे दाऊदको मुखबाट पवित्र आत्माले पहिला नै बोल्नुभएको धर्मशास्त्र पुरा हुनु आवश्यक थियो ।
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
किनभने त्यो हामीमध्ये एक जना थियो र त्यसले आफ्नो सेवाकाइको हिस्सा प्राप्त गर्यो ।”
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
(यो मानिसले उसको दुष्ट कर्मको कमाइबाट एउटा खेत किन्यो । त्यसपछि, उसको टाउको तल पारेर खस्यो, उसको शरीर फुट्यो, र उसको सबै आन्द्रा-भुँडी निस्क्यो ।
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
यो कुरा यरूशलेममा बस्ने सबैले सुने त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भाषामा त्यस खेतको नाम अखेल्दमा राखे जसको अर्थ “रगतको खेत” हुन्छ । )
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his position as bishop let another take.
“किनभने भजनसंग्रहको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ, ‘त्यसको खेत उजाड बनाइयोस् र त्यहाँ कोही एक जना पनि नबसोस्’ र ‘त्यसको नेतृत्वको पद अरू कसैले लिओस् ।’
21 Why of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
यसकारण यो आवश्यक छ कि, यूहन्नाको बप्तिस्माको दिनदेखि उहाँलाई हामीबाट माथि लगिएको दिनसम्म, प्रभु येशू हाम्रो माझमा भित्र-बाहिर गर्नुहुँदा सधैँभरि हामीलाई साथ दिने मानिसहरूमध्येबाट एक जना हामीसँगै उहाँको उहाँको पुनरुत्थानको साक्षी भएको हुनुपर्छ ।”
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
तिनीहरूले बरब्बा भनिने योसेफ जसको नाउँ युस्तस पनि थियो र मतियास दुई जनालाई अगि सारे ।
24 And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गरे र भने, “तपाईं प्रभुले सबै मानसिहरूको हृदय जान्नु हुन्छ, त्यसैले यी दुई जनामध्ये कसलाई चुन्नुभएको छ प्रकट गर्नुहोस्
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
यहूदाले अपराध गरेर उसको ठाउँमा गएपछि खाली भएको यो सेवाकाइ र प्रेरितको पद तिनले लिऊन् ।”
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
उनीहरूले तिनीहरूको निम्ति चिट्ठा हाले; र चिट्ठा मतियासको नाममा पर्यो र तिनलाई एघार जना प्रेरितसँगै गनियो ।
