Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
थियोफिलस, मैले पहिला लेखेको पुस्तकले येशूलाई माथि नलगिएसम्म उहाँले गर्न र सिकाउन थाल्नुभएका सबै कुरा बताएको छ ।
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
उहाँले चुन्नुभएका प्रेरितहरूलाई पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभएपछि यसो भएको थियो ।
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during 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 while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye 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 with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
कि वास्तवमा यूहन्नाले पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिए, तर केही दिनमा नै तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
तिनीहरू सँगै भेलाहुँदा, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई सोधे, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले इस्राएल राज्य पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहुने समय यही हो?”
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “पिताले उहाँको अधिकारद्वारा तोक्नुभएको समय र ऋतुहरू जान्ने काम तिमीहरूको होइन ।
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end 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 having thus spoken, 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 were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! 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 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going 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 they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within 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 had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, 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, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and 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 midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
ती दिनहरूमा झण्डै १२० जना भाइका माझमा पत्रुस खडा भए र भने,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became 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 among us, and obtained the allotment 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 wages of the 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 became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, 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 made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” 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 these men, therefore, who 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 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they proposed 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 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast 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 the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, 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 cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon 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 ।
