< Acts 9 >

1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
तर शाऊल अझै प्रभुका चेलाहरूको विरुद्धमा हत्याको धम्की दिँदै प्रधान पूजाहारीकहाँ गए
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
र त्यस मार्गका पुरुष होस् या स्‍त्री जोसुकैलाई बाँधेर यरूशलेममा ल्याउन पाऊँ भनी तिनले दमस्कसका सभाघरहको नाउँमा पत्र मागे ।
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
तिनी जाँदै गर्दा जब तिनी दमस्कस नजिकै आइपुगे तब अकस्मात् तिनको वरिपरि स्वर्गबाट आएको ज्योति चम्क्यो ।
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
तिनी भुइँमा ढले र तिनले यसो भन्‍ने आवाज सुने, “ए शाऊल, ए शाऊल, किन तिमी मेरो खेदो गर्दैछौ?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तपाईं को हुनुहुन्छ?” प्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “म येशू हुँ जसको तिमी खेदो गर्दैछौ ।
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
तर उठ र सहरमा जाऊ र तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई बताइनेछ ।”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
शाऊलसँगै यात्रा गर्ने मानिसहरूले आवाजचाहिँ सुने तर तिनीहरूले कसैलाई देखेनन् र तिनीहरू अवाक् भई उभिरहे ।
8 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
शाऊल भुइँबाट उठे र तिनले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्दा तिनले केही देखेनन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले हात समातेर तिनलाई दमस्कस पुर्‍याए ।
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
तिनी तिन दिनसम्म दृष्‍टिविहीन भए र तिनले न खाए न पिए ।
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
दमस्कसमा हननिया नाउँ गरेका चेला थिए । प्रभुले दर्शनमा तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ए हननिया” तिनले भने, “प्रभु, म यहीँ छु ।”
11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
प्रभुले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “उठ र सोझो भनिने गल्लीमा जाऊ र त्यहाँ यहूदाको घरमा टार्ससका शाऊल नाउँ गरेका मानिसको खोजी गर । किनकि तिनी प्रार्थना गर्दैछन् ।
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
र तिनले दृष्‍टि पाउन सकून् भनेर तिनले दर्शनमा हननिया नाउँका मानिसले तिनीमाथि हात राखेको देखेका छन् ।”
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
तर हननियाले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तिनले यरूशलेममा तपाईंका पवित्र मानिसहरूलाई कति धेरै हानि पुर्‍याएका छन् भन्‍ने बारेमा मैले धेरै मानिसहरूबाट सुनेको छु ।
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
तपाईंको नाउँ लिने हरेकलाई गिरफ्तार गर्न तिनले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूबाट अधिकार पाएका छन् ।”
15 But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
तर प्रभुले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “जाऊ, किनकि अन्यजातिहरू र राजाहरू र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूको सामु मेरो नाउँ प्रचार गर्न तिनी छानिएका एक पात्र हुन् ।
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
किनकि मेरो नाउँको खातिर तिनले कति धेरै दुःख भोग्‍नुपर्नेछ भनी म तिनलाई देखाउनेछु ।”
17 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
त्यसैले, हननिया गए र त्यस घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । तिनीमाथि आफ्ना हात राख्दै उनले भने, “भाइ शाऊल, तिमीले आफ्नो दृष्‍टि पाउन सक र पवित्र आत्माले भरिन सक भनी तिमी आउँदा बाटोमा देखा पर्नुहुने प्रभु येशूले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
तुरुन्तै शाऊलका आँखाबाट पाप्राजस्ता केही खसे र तिनले दृष्‍टि पाए । तिनी उठे र बप्‍तिस्मा लिए ।
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
तिनले केही खाएपछि तिनमा ताकत आयो । तिनी केही दिनसम्म दमस्कसका चेलाहरूसँगै बसे ।
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
तुरुन्तै येशू नै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भन्दै तिनले सभाघरहरूमा उहाँको प्रचार गरे ।
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
तिनका कुरा सुन्‍नेहरू सबै छक्‍क परे र तिनीहरूले भने, “यरूशलेममा यो नाउँ लिनेहरूलाई नष्‍ट गर्ने मानिस यिनी नै होइनन् र? के तिनी उनीहरूलाई बाँधेर मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूकहाँ लैजान यहाँ आएका होइनन् र?”
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
तर प्रचारको लागि शाऊल अझै शक्तिशाली बने र येशू नै ख्रीष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्‍ने प्रमाण दिएर दमस्कसमा बस्‍ने यहूदीहरूलाई तिनले अकमक्‍क पारिदिए ।
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
धेरै दिन बितेपछि यहूदीहरूले तिनलाई मार्ने षड्यन्‍त्र रचे ।
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
तर शाऊलले तिनीहरूको षड्यन्‍त्र थाहा पाए । तिनलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले तिनीहरू दिनरात ढोकाहरूमा चेवा गरेर बस्थे ।
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
तर तिनका चेलाहरूले तिनलाई राती नै पर्खालबाट टोकरीमा हालेर खसालिदिए ।
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
शाऊल यरूशलेममा आएपछि तिनी चेलाहरूसँग मिल्न खोजे । तर तिनी चेला हुन् भन्‍ने कुरा नपत्याएर तिनीहरू सबै तिनीदेखि डराए ।
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
तर बारनाबासले तिनलाई चेलाहरूकहाँ ल्याए । दमस्कसको बाटोमा कसरी शाऊलले प्रभुलाई देखे र प्रभु तिनीसित बोल्नुभयो अनि दमस्कसमा कसरी तिनले साहसपूर्वक येशूको नाउँ प्रचार गरे भनी तिनले उनीहरूलाई बताए ।
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
यरूशलेमको भित्र-बाहिर गर्दा तिनले उनीहरूलाई भेटे । तिनले साहसपूर्वक प्रभु येशूको नाउँमा बोले ।
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
र तिनले ग्रिक-यहूदीहरूसित वादविवाद गरे । तथापि उनीहरूले तिनलाई मार्न खोजिरहे ।
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
भाइहरूले यो कुरा थाहा पाएर तिनलाई कैसरिया ल्याए र त्यहाँबाट तिनलाई टार्सस पठाइदिए ।
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
यसरी सारा यहूदिया, गालील र सामरियाभरिका मण्डलीमा शान्ति छायो र मण्डली मजबुत भयो । परमप्रभुको भय र पवित्र आत्माको सान्त्वनामा मण्डली सङ्ख्यामा बढ्दै गयो ।
32 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
पत्रुस पुरै इलाकामा जाने क्रममा तिनी लुड्‌डा नगरमा बस्‍ने परमेश्‍वरका मानिसहरूकहाँ पनि आइपुगे ।
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
तिनले त्यहाँ एनियास नाउँका कोही एक जना मानिसलाई भेट्टाए जो आठ वर्षसम्म ओछ्यानमा थिए किनकि तिनलाई पक्षाघात भएको थियो ।
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
पत्रुसले तिनलाई भने, “ए एनियास, येशू ख्रीष्‍टले तिमीलाई निको पार्नुहुन्छ । उठ र तिम्रो ओछ्यान मिलाऊ ।” तिनी तुरुन्तै उठे ।
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
लुड्‌डा र शारोनमा बस्‍ने सबैले ती मानिसलाई देखे र तिनीहरू प्रभुमा आए ।
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
अब योप्पामा तबीता (ग्रिकमा डोरकास) नाउँकी एक जना चेली थिइन् । यी स्‍त्री असल काम र कृपापूर्ण कार्यले भरिएकी थिइन् र उनले गरिबहरूको हेरचाह गर्थिन् ।
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
ती दिनमा उनी बिरामी परिन् र मरिन् । तिनीहरूले उनको मृत शरीरलाई धोएर माथिल्लो कोठामा राखे ।
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
लुड्‌डा योप्पाबाट नजिकै भएकोले र पत्रुस त्यहाँ थिए भनी चेलाहरूले सुनेकाले तिनीहरूले यस्तो अनुरोध गर्न तिनीकहाँ दुई जना मानिस पठाए, “विलम्ब नगरीकन हामीकहाँ आइदिनुहोस् ।”
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूसँगै गए । तिनी आइपुगेपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई माथिल्लो कोठामा लगे । पत्रुसको नजिकै बसेका सबै विधवाहरू रुँदै थिए र तिनीहरूले डोरकास तिनीहरूसँग छँदा उनले बनाएका वस्‍त्रहरू र अरू पोशाकहरू तिनलाई देखाउँदै थिए ।
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
पत्रुसले सबैलाई कोठाबाट बाहिर पठाए र घुँडा टेकी प्रार्थना गरे । मृतकपट्टि फर्केर तिनले भने, “ए तबीता, उठ ।” उनले आफ्ना आँखा खोलिन् र पत्रुसलाई देखेपछि उनी बसिन् ।
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
त्यसपछि पत्रुसले उनलाई आफ्ना हातले उठाए । तिनले विश्‍वासीहरू र विधवाहरूलाई डाके र तिनीहरूको उपस्थितिमा उनलाई जीवित प्रस्तुत गरे ।
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
यो खबर सारा योप्पाभरि फैलियो र धेरै मानिसहरूले प्रभुमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
पत्रुस धेरै दिनसम्म योप्पामा सिमोन नाउँ गरेका चर्मकारसँग बसे ।
