< Acts 8 >
1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
शाऊल ओख मारन म सहमत होतो। उन दिन यरूशलेम की मण्डली पर बड़ो छल को सुरूवात भयो अऊर प्रेरितों ख छोड़ पूरो को पूरो यहूदिया अऊर सामरियां देशों म तितर बितर भय गयो।
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
कुछ भक्तो न स्तिफनुस ख कब्र म रख्यो अऊर ओको लायी जोर सी रोयो।
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering house after house, and dragging both men and women, committed them to prison.
शाऊल मण्डली ख उजाड़ रह्यो होतो; अऊर घर-घर घुस क पुरुषों अऊर बाईयों ख घसीट-घसीट क जेलखाना म डालत होतो।
4 Now those that had been scattered abroad went through the country preaching the word.
जो तितर-बितर हुयो होतो, हि सुसमाचार सुनावतो हुयो फिरयो;
5 And Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ.
अऊर फिलिप्पुस सामरियां नगर म जाय क लोगों म मसीह को प्रचार करन लग्यो।
6 And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he wrought.
जो बाते फिलिप्पुस न कह्यो उन्ख लोगों न सुन क अऊर जो चिन्ह चमत्कार ऊ दिखावत होतो उन्ख देख देख क, एक चित्त होय क मन लगायो।
7 For from many that had unclean spirits came they out crying with a loud voice; and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were cured.
कहालीकि बहुत सो म सी दुष्ट आत्मायें बड़ो आवाज सी चिल्लावत निकल गयी, अऊर बहुत सो लकवा को रोगी अऊर लंगड़ा भी अच्छो करयो गयो;
8 And there was great joy in that city.
अऊर ऊ नगर म बड़ी खुशी छाय गयो।
9 But before their arrival a certain man, named Simon, was in the city, a man practising sorcery, and amazing the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was some great person;
येको सी पहिलो ऊ नगर म शिमोन नाम को एक आदमी होतो, जो जादू-टोना कर क् सामरियां को लोगों ख चकित करतो अऊर अपनो आप ख एक महान पुरुष बतावत होतो।
10 to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the Power of God, which is called Great.
छोटो सी बड़ो तक सब ओको पर ध्यान दे क कहत होतो “यो आदमी परमेश्वर की वा सामर्थ आय, जो महान कहलावय हय।”
11 And to him they gave heed, because they had for a long time been amazed by his sorceries.
ओन बहुत दिन सी उन्ख अपनो जादू को कामों सी चकित कर रख्यो होतो, येकोलायी हि ओख बहुत मानत होतो।
12 But when they believed Philip, publishing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
पर जब उन्न फिलिप्पुस को विश्वास करयो जो परमेश्वर को राज्य अऊर यीशु मसीह को नाम को सुसमाचार सुनावत होतो त लोग, का पुरुष, का बाई, बपतिस्मा लेन लग्यो।
13 And Simon himself also believed, and having been baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed when he beheld the miracles and signs which were wrought.
तब शिमोन न खुद भी विश्वास करयो अऊर बपतिस्मा ले क फिलिप्पुस को संग रहन लग्यो। ऊ चिन्ह चमत्कार अऊर बड़ो-बड़ो सामर्थ को काम होतो देख क चकित होत होतो।
14 And the apostles at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John;
जब प्रेरितों न जो यरूशलेम म होतो, सुन्यो कि सामरियों न परमेश्वर को वचन मान लियो हय त पतरस अऊर यूहन्ना ख उन्को जवर भेज्यो।
15 who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
उन्न जाय क उन्को लायी प्रार्थना करी कि पवित्र आत्मा पाये।
16 For it had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
कहालीकि ऊ अब तक उन्म सी कोयी पर नहीं उतरयो होतो; उन्न त केवल प्रभु यीशु को नाम म बपतिस्मा लियो होतो।
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
तब उन्न उन पर हाथ रख्यो अऊर उन्न पवित्र आत्मा पायो।
18 But Simon, seeing that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, offered them money,
जब शिमोन न देख्यो कि प्रेरितों को हाथ रखन सी पवित्र आत्मा दियो जावय हय, त उन्को जवर रुपये लाय क कह्यो,
19 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
“यो अधिकार मोख भी दे, कि जो कोयी पर हाथ रखू ऊ पवित्र आत्मा पाये।”
20 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money.
पतरस न ओको सी कह्यो, “तोरो रुपये तोरो संग नाश होय, कहालीकि तय न परमेश्वर को दान रुपयों सी मोल लेन को बिचार करयो।
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
या बात म नहीं तोरो हिस्सा हय, नहीं भाग हय; कहालीकि तोरो मन परमेश्वर को आगु सही नहाय।
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if haply the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
येकोलायी अपनी यो बुरायी सी मन फिराय क प्रभु सी प्रार्थना कर, होय सकय हय कि तोरो मन को बिचार माफ करयो जाये।
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
कहालीकि मय देखू हय कि तय पित्त जसी कड़वाहट अऊर पाप को बन्धन म पड़्यो हय।”
24 And Simon answering said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.
शिमोन न उत्तर दियो “तुम मोरो लायी प्रभु सी प्रार्थना करो कि जो बाते तुम न कहीं, उन्म सी कोयी मोर पर नहीं आय पड़े।”
25 They then, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and publishing the glad tidings in many villages of the Samaritans.
येकोलायी हि गवाही दे क अऊर प्रभु को वचन सुनाय क यरूशलेम ख लौट गयो, अऊर सामरियों को बहुत सो गांवो म सुसमाचार सुनावतो गयो।
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert way.
फिर प्रभु को एक स्वर्गदूत न फिलिप्पुस सी कह्यो, “उठ अऊर दक्षिन को तरफ ऊ रस्ता पर जा, जो यरूशलेम सी गाजा ख जावय हय।” यो रेगिस्तानी रस्ता हय।
27 And he arose and went; and lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a high officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
ऊ उठ क चल दियो, अऊर देखो, कूश देश को एक आदमी आय रह्यो होतो जो खोजा अऊर कूशियो की रानी कन्दाके को मंत्री अऊर खजांची होतो। ऊ आराधना करन ख यरूशलेम आयो होतो।
28 was returning and sitting in his chariot; and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
ऊ अपनो रथ पर बैठ्यो हुयो होतो, अऊर यशायाह भविष्यवक्ता की किताब पढ़तो हुयो लौटत जाय रह्यो होतो।
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.
तब आत्मा न फिलिप्पुस सी कह्यो, “जवर जाय क यो रथ को संग हो ले।”
30 And Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Well, but dost thou understand what thou art reading?
फिलिप्पुस ओको तरफ दवड़्यो अऊर ओख यशायाह भविष्यवक्ता की किताब पढ़तो हुयो सुन्यो, अऊर पुच्छ्यो “तय जो पढ़ रह्यो हय का ओख समझय भी हय?”
31 And he said, How can I, unless some one shall guide me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
ओन कह्यो, “जब तक कोयी मोख नहीं समझाये त मय कसो समझू?” अऊर ओन फिलिप्पुस सी बिनती करी कि ऊ चढ़ क ओको जवर बैठ्यो।
32 And the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he openeth not his mouth.
धर्म शास्त्र को जो अध्याय ऊ पढ़ रह्यो होतो, ऊ यो होतो: “ऊ मेंढीं को जसो वध होन लायी पहुंचायो गयो, अऊर जसो मेम्ना अपनो ऊन कतरन वालो को आगु चुपचाप रह्य हय, वसोच ओन भी अपनो मुंह नहीं खोल्यो।
33 In his humiliation judgment was refused him; and who shall describe his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth.”
ओकी दीनता म ओको न्याय नहीं होन पायो। ओको समय को लोगों को वर्नन कौन करेंन? कहालीकि धरती सी ओको जीवन उठा लियो जावय हय।”
34 And the eunuch answering said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? Of himself, or of some other man?
येको पर खोजे न फिलिप्पुस सी पुच्छ्यो, “मय तोरो सी प्रार्थना करू हय, यो बताव कि भविष्यवक्ता यो कौन को बारे म कह्य हय, अपनो यां कोयी दूसरों को बारे म?”
35 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture declared to him the glad tidings concerning Jesus.
तब फिलिप्पुस न अपनो मुंह खोल्यो अऊर योच शास्त्र सी सुरूवात कर क् ओख यीशु को सुसमाचार सुनायो।
36 And as they went along the road, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch saith, See, here is water; what is there to hinder my being baptized?
रस्ता म चलतो-चलतो हि कोयी पानी को जागा म पहुंच्यो। तब खोजे न कह्यो, “देख इत पानी हय, अब मोख बपतिस्मा लेनो म का रोक हय।”
फिलिप्पुस न कह्यो, “यदि तय पूरो मन सी विश्वास करय हय त ले सकय हय।” ओन उत्तर दियो, “मय विश्वास करू हय कि यीशु मसीह परमेश्वर को बेटा आय।”
38 And he commanded that the chariot should stop; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
तब ओन रथ खड़ो करन की आज्ञा दी, अऊर फिलिप्पुस अऊर खोजा दोयी पानी म उतरयो, अऊर ओन खोजा ख बपतिस्मा दियो।
39 But when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
जब हि पानी सी निकल क ऊपर आयो, त प्रभु को आत्मा फिलिप्पुस ख उठा ले गयो, अऊर खोजे न ओख फिर नहीं देख्यो, अऊर ऊ खुश होतो हुयो अपनो रस्ता पर चली गयो।
40 But Philip was found at Azotus; and passing through, he published the glad tidings in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
फिलिप्पुस अशदोद म आय निकल्यो, अऊर जब तक कैसरिया म नहीं पहुंच्यो, तब तक नगर-नगर सुसमाचार सुनावतो गयो।
