< Acts 1 >

1 The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to 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 received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
उहाँले चुन्‍नुभएका प्रेरितहरूलाई पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभएपछि यसो भएको थियो ।
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
उहाँको कष्‍टभोगपछि उहाँले धेरै विश्‍वसनीय प्रमाणसहित आफैँलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ जीवित प्रस्तुत गर्नुभयो । उहाँ चालिस दिनसम्म उनीहरूकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको बारेमा बताउनु भयो ।
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from 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 indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
कि वास्तवमा यूहन्‍नाले पानीले बप्‍तिस्मा दिए, तर केही दिनमा नै तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्‍तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
तिनीहरू सँगै भेलाहुँदा, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई सोधे, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले इस्राएल राज्य पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहुने समय यही हो?”
7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “पिताले उहाँको अधिकारद्वारा तोक्‍नुभएको समय र ऋतुहरू जान्‍ने काम तिमीहरूको होइन ।
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest 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 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
येशूले यी कुराहरू भनिसक्‍नुभएपछि, तिनीहरूले माथि हेरिरहँदा उहाँलाई माथि उठाइयो, र बादलले उहाँलाई तिनीहरूका आँखाबाट छेक्यो ।
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा तिनीहरूले स्वर्गतिर उत्कटतापूर्वक हेरिररहेका बेला सेतो वस्‍त्र पहिरेका दुई जना मानिस अचानक तिनीहरूका छेउमा खडा भए ।
11 who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
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 they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
त्यसपछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेम नजिकै पर्ने जैतून डाँडाबाट यरूशलेमतिर फर्के, जुन एक शबाथ दिनको यात्रा जति टाढा थियो ।
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son 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 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along 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 In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
ती दिनहरूमा झण्डै १२० जना भाइका माझमा पत्रुस खडा भए र भने,
16 "Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who 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 received his portion in this ministry.
किनभने त्यो हामीमध्ये एक जना थियो र त्यसले आफ्नो सेवाकाइको हिस्सा प्राप्‍त गर्‍यो ।”
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines 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 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, '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 scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
“किनभने भजनसंग्रहको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ, ‘त्यसको खेत उजाड बनाइयोस् र त्यहाँ कोही एक जना पनि नबसोस्’ र ‘त्यसको नेतृत्वको पद अरू कसैले लिओस् ।’
21 "Of the men therefore who have accompanied 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 the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
तिनीहरूले बरब्बा भनिने योसेफ जसको नाउँ युस्तस पनि थियो र मतियास दुई जनालाई अगि सारे ।
24 They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one 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 to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
यहूदाले अपराध गरेर उसको ठाउँमा गएपछि खाली भएको यो सेवाकाइ र प्रेरितको पद तिनले लिऊन् ।”
26 They drew lots for them, 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 ।
