Acts 15
1 And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, [saying], Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
यहूदियाबाट केही मानिसहरू आए र भाइहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सिकाए, “जबसम्म तपाईंहरूले मोशाको विधिअनुसार खतना गर्नुहुन्न, तबसम्म तपाईंहरू बाँच्न सक्नुहुन्न ।”
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, [the brethren] appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
जब पावल र बारनाबासको तिनीहरूसँग विरोध र विवाद भयो तब यस प्रश्नलाई लिएर पावल, बारनाबास र अरू केही मानिस यरूशलेममा प्रेरित र एल्डरहरूकहाँ जानुपर्छ भनी भाइहरूले निर्णय गरे ।
3 They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
त्यसकारण उनीहरू मण्डलीद्वारा पठाइए अनि फोनिसिया र सामरिया भएर गए र गैरयहूदीहरू विश्वासमा आएका कुरा घोषणा गरे । उनीहरूले सबै दाजुभाइहरूमा ठुलो आनन्द ल्याए ।
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them.
जब उनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए, उनीहरूलाई मण्डली, प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरूद्वारा स्वागत गरियो, र यसरी उनीहरूसँग परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका सबै कामहरूको प्रतिवेदन उनीहरूलाई सुनाए ।
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.
फरिसी दलबाट विश्वास गरेका केही मानिसहरू उठे र भने, “तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्न र मोशाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिनु आवश्यक छ ।”
6 And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter.
त्यसैले यस विषयमा विचार गर्न प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरू भेला भए ।
7 And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
धेरै छलफलपछि, पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “भाइहरू, केही समय अगाडि परमेश्वरले तपाईंहरूको माझमा गर्नुभएको एउटा छनौट तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ कि मेरो मुखद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूले सुसमाचारको वचन सुन्न सकून् र विश्वास गरून् ।
8 And God, which knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
मानिसहरूका हृदय जान्नुहुने परमेश्वरले हामीलाई जस्तै तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मा दिएर तिनीहरूलाई गवाही दिनुहुन्छ ।
9 and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
विश्वासद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदय शुद्ध गर्नुभएर उहाँले हामीहरू र तिनीहरूका बिचमा कुनै भेदभाव गर्नुभएन ।
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
अब यसकारण हाम्रा पिताहरूले र हामीहरूले बोक्न नसकेको जुवा चेलाहरूको घाँटीमा राख्नैपर्छ भनी तपाईंहरू किन परमेश्वरको परीक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ?
11 But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.
तर हामी विश्वास गर्दछौँ कि हामीहरू प्रभु येशूको अनुग्रहद्वारा बचाइनेछौँ, जसरी तिनीहरू पनि बचाइए ।’’
12 And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरूको विवरण सुनिरहँदा सारा भिड चुपचाप रह्यो ।
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:
तिनीहरूले बोल्न छोडेपछि, याकूबले जवाफ दिँदै भने, “भाइहरू हो, मेरा कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।
14 Symeon hath rehearsed how first God did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरूबाटै एक जाति लिनलाई कसरी पहिले गैरयहूदीहरूलाई कृपादृष्टिकासाथ सहायता गर्नुभयो भनी सिमोनले बताएका छन् ।
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
यससँग अगमवक्ताका वचनहरू सहमत छन्, किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ,
16 After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:
यी कुराहरूपछि म फर्केर आउनेछु, र म दाऊदको ढलेको पाल फेरि निर्माण गर्नेछु, यसका भग्नावशेषहरूलाई म उठाउनेछु र फेरी पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,
ताकि बाँकी रहेको मानिसहरू र सबै गैरयहूदीहरू लगायत मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइएकाहरूले प्रभुलाई खोज्न सकून्।
, जसले यी प्राचीन समयदेखि थाहा कुराहरू गर्नुहुने प्रभुले यसरी भन्नुहुन्छ । (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them which from among the Gentiles turn to God;
त्यसकारण मेरो विचार यो छ कि परमेश्वरतिर फर्कने गैरयहूदीहरूलाई हामीले दुःख दिनुहुँदैन ।
20 but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
तर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई यो लेख्छौँ कि तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरूको अशुद्धताबाट, व्यभिचारबाट र घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको मासु र रगतबाट अलग रहून् ।
21 For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
किनभने हरेक सहरमा मोशाको व्यवस्थाका कुराहरू हरेक सबाथमा पुस्तौंदेखि मानिसहरूले सभाघरहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र पढ्दै आएका छन् ।”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
त्यसपछि मण्डलीका अगुवाहरू यहूदा बरसाबास र सिलासलाई छानेर पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा तिनीहरूलाई एन्टिओखिया पठाउने कुरा सबै प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू र सारा मण्डलीसहितलाई कुरा असल लाग्यो ।
23 and they wrote [thus] by them, The apostles and the elder brethren unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
तिनीहरूले यो लेखे, “एन्टिओखिया, सिरिया र किलिकियामा भएका गैरयहूदी भाइहरू, प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू, भाइहरूलाई अभिवादन ।
24 Forasmuch as we have heard that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;
हामीले त्यस्तो गर्ने आज्ञा नगरेका केही मानिसहरू हाम्रो बिचबाट तपाईंहरूकहाँ आएर तपाईंहरूको आत्मालाई दु: खित पार्ने खालका शिक्षाहरू दिएर तपाईंहरूलाई दुःख दिइरहेका छन् ।
25 it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
त्यसैकारण हाम्रा प्रिय पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा कोही मानिसहरूलाई छानेर तपाईंहरूकहाँ पठाउन हामी सहमत भयौँ र यो हामी सबैलाई असल लाग्यो ।
26 men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
यी हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको खातिर आफ्नो जीवनलाई जोखिममा पारेका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.
त्यसैले हामीले यहूदा र सिलासलाई पठाएका छौँ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही कुराहरू बताउनेछन् ।
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
किनभने यी आवश्यक कुराहरूभन्दा बढि ठुलो भार तपाईंहरूमाथि नबोकाउन पवित्र आत्मा र हामीलाई असल लाग्यो ।
29 that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.
तपाईंहरू मूर्तिहरूलाई चढाइएका बलिदानका कुराहरू, रगत, घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको थोकहरू र यौन अनैतिकताबाट अलग रहनुहोस् । यदि तपाईंहरूले आफैँलाई यी कुराहरूबाट अलग राख्नुभयो भने तपाईंहरूलाई भलो हुनेछ । बिदा ।”
30 So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
जब उनीहरू बिदा भएर एन्टिओखियामा आए । तिनीहरूलेभिडलाई एकसाथ भेला पारेपछि पत्र दिए ।
31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.
जब तिनीहरूले यसलाई पढे, उत्साहको कारण तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए ।
32 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
यहूदा र सिलास पनि अगमवक्ताहरू भएकोले धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा भाइहरूलाई उत्साह दिए र तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पारे ।
33 And after they had spent some time [there], they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth.
उनीहरूले त्यहाँ केही समय बिताइसकेपछि भाइहरूको बिचबाट उनीहरूलाई पठाउनेहरूकहाँ शान्तिसाथ पठाइयो ।
(टिप्पणी: सबैभन्दा उत्तम प्राचीन पाण्डुलिपिहरूले “३४” पदलाई छोडेका छन् (प्रेरित १५:४० हेर्नुहोस्) तर सिमोनलाई त्यहाँ रहन नै असल लाग्यो ।
35 But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
तर पावल र बारनाबास अरु धेरैकासाथ एन्टिओखियामा बसे । जहाँउनी सिकाए र प्रभुको वचन प्रचार गरे ।
36 And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they fare.
केही दिनपछि पावलले बारनाबासलाई भने, “अहिले हामी फर्केर जाऔँ र हामीले प्रभुको वचन घोषणा गरेको हरेक सहरका भाइहरूलाई भेटौँ, र उनीहरू कस्ता छन हेरौँ ।
37 And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.
बारनाबासले मर्कूस भनिने यूहन्नालाई पनि तिनीहरूसँगै लैजान चाहन्थे ।
38 But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
तर पावलले मर्कूसलाई लिएर जान ठिक छैन भनी विचार गरे । किनभने पाम्फिलियामा हुँदा उनी तिनीहरूबाट छुट्टिएर उनीहरूसँग काममा अगाडि गएनन् ।
39 And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus;
तब त्यहाँ कडा असहमति उत्पन्न भयो । त्यसैकारण उनीहरू एकअर्काबाट छुट्टिए । अनि बारनाबासले मर्कूसलाई आफूसँगै लिएर साइप्रसतिर समुद्रयात्रा गरे ।
40 but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
तर पावलले सिलासलाई छाने । भाइहरूद्वारा प्रभुको अनुग्रहमा सुम्पिएपछि उनी त्यहाँबाट बिदा भए ।
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
र उनी मण्डलीहरूलाई बलियो पार्दै सिरिया र किलिकिया भएर गए ।
