Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
अहिले यहूदीयामा भएका प्रेरितहरू र भाइहरूले गैरयहूदीहरूले पनि परमेश्वरको वचन ग्रहण गरेका थिए भन्ने सुने ।
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
जब पत्रुस यरूशलेममा आए, खतनाको समूहका मानिसहरूले तिनकोको आलोचना गरे ।
3 saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
तिनीहरूले भने, “तपाईं बेखतनाका मानसिहरूसँग बस्नुभयो र तिनीहरूसँग खानुभयो ।”
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
तर पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो कुरा विस्तृत रूपमा वर्णन गर्न सुरु गरे; उनले भनेः
5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
‘म योप्पा सहरमा प्रार्थना गरिरहेको थिएँ, र मैले एउटा दर्शन देखेँ जसमा स्वर्गबाट एउटा ठूलो तन्ना जस्तो तलतिर झरिएको थियो । यो मकहाँ आयो ।
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
मैले यसलाई एक टक लगाएर हेरेँ र यस बारे सोचेँ । मैले पृथ्वीको चारखुट्टे जनावरहरू, जङ्गली जन्तुहरू, घस्रने जन्तुहरू, र आकासमा उड्ने चराहरू देखेँ।
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
त्यसपछि मैले एउटा आवाजले मलाईं भनेको सुने, “पत्रुस उठ अनि तिनीहरूलाई मारे र खाऊ ।”
8 But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
मैले भने, “प्रभु, यसो होइन, किनभने अहिलेसम्म अपवित्र र अशुद्ध थोक मेरो मुखमा परेकै छैनन् ।”
9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
तर स्वर्गबाट फेरि उत्तर आयो, “परमेश्वरले जुन कुराहरूलाई शुद्ध घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ, अशुद्ध नभन ।’’
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
यो तिन पल्टसम्म भयो, त्यसपछि सबै कुरा स्वर्गतिर फेरि उठाइ लगियो ।
11 And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
हेर्नुहोस्, हामी बसको घर अगाडि तिन जना मानिस उभिरहेका थिए । उनीहरूलाई कैसरियाबाट मकहाँ पठाइएको थियो ।
12 The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
पवित्र आत्माले मलाईं उनीहरूसँग जानु र मैले तिनीहरूको सम्बन्धमा कुनै विभेद गर्नुहुँदैन भनी आज्ञा दिनुभयो । यी छ जना भाइहरू मसँग गए र हामी त्यो मानिसको घरभित्र गयौँ ।
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
उनले स्वर्गदूत तिनको घरमा उभिरहेको कसरी देखेका थिए, र तिनले उनलाई यसो भने भनी हामीलाई बताए, “योप्पामा मानिसहरूलाई पठाऊ र सिमोनलाई फर्काएर ल्याऊ, जसको अर्को नाउँ पत्रुस हो ।
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
उनले तिम्रो लागि एउटा सन्देश बताउने छन् जसद्वारा तिमी बचाइनेछौ, तिमी र तिम्रो सबै घराना ।”
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
जब म तिनिहरूसँग बोल्न थालेँ, तिनीहरूमाथि पवित्र आत्मा आउनुभयो, जसरी सुरुमा हामीमाथि आउनुभएको थियो ।
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
कसरी उहाँले भन्नुभएको थियो, तब मैले प्रभुका वचनहरूलाई सम्झेँ, ‘‘यूहन्नाले पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिए, तर तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।’’
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
हामीले प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टमाथि विश्वास गर्दा उहाँले हामीलाई दिनुभएको त्यही वरदान उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो भने, परमेश्वरको विरोध गर्ने म को थिएँ र?’’’
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
जब तिनीहरूले यी कुराहरू सुने, तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि प्रतिकृया जनाएनन् । तर तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे र भने, ‘‘परमेश्वरले गैर-यहूदीहरूलाई पनि जीवनको निम्ति पश्चात्ताप दिनुभएको छ ।’’
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
त्यसकारण स्तिफनसको मृत्युसँगै सुरु भएको कष्ट भोगिरहेका विश्वासीहरू यरूशलेमबाट छरपस्ट भए । यी विश्वासीहरू फोनेसिया, साइप्रस र एन्टिओखियासम्म गए । उनीहरूले येशूको बारेमा सन्देश अरू कसैलाई नबताई यहूदीहरूलाई मात्र बताए ।
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केही मानिसहरू साइप्रस र कुरेनीबाटका एन्टिओखियामा आए र ग्रिकहरूसँग पनि बोले र प्रभु येशूको प्रचार गरे ।
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
र तिनीहरूसँग प्रभुको हात थियो, ठुलो संख्यामा मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे र प्रभुतिर फर्के ।
22 And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
तिनीहरूको बारेको खबर यरूशलेमको मण्डलीको कानमा आइपुग्यो र तिनीहरूले बारनाबासलाई एन्टिओखियासम्म पठाए ।
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
जब उनी आए र परमेश्वरको वरदानलाई देखे, तब उनी खुसी भए, र तिनीहरूको सम्पूर्ण हृदयले प्रभुसँगै रहिरहन उनले उत्साह दिए ।
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
बारनाबास एक असल र पवित्र आत्माले भरिएका र विश्वासमा परिपक्व मानिस थिए, र प्रभुमा धेरै मानिसहरू थपिए ।
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
तब बारनाबास शाऊललाई खोज्नका निम्ति टार्ससतिर गए ।
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
जब उनले तिनलाई भेटाए, तब उनले तिनलाई एन्टिओखियामा ल्याए । तिनीहरू पुरै वर्षभरी नै मण्डलीमा सँगसँगै भेला भए र धेरै मानिसहरूलाई सिकाए । एन्टिओखियामा नै पहिलोपल्ट चेलाहरूलाई ख्रीष्टियान भनियो ।
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
अब यी दिनहरूमा केही अगमवक्ताहरू यरूशलेमबाट तल एन्टिओखियामा आए ।
28 One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना अगाबस नाउँ गरेका उभिएर संसारभरि नै ठुलो अनिकाल आउन लागेको छ भनी आत्माले देखाउनुभयो । क्लाउडियसका दिनहरूमा यस्तो भयो ।
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
त्यसैले सक्ने जति हरेक चेलाहरूले यहूदियामा भएका भाइहरूलाई सहायता पठाउने निर्णय गरे ।
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
तिनीहरूले त्यसो गरेपछि, तिनीहरूले शाऊल र बारनाबासको हातमा एल्डरहरूकहाँ पैसा पठाए ।
