< प्रेरितों के काम 16 >
1 तब ऊ दिरबे अऊर लुस्रा म भी गयो। उत तीमुथियुस नाम को एक चेला होतो, जो कोयी विश्वासी यहूदिनी को बेटा होतो, पर ओको बाप यूनानी होतो।
And he came also to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a certain disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, and of a Greek father.
2 ऊ लुस्रा अऊर इकुनियुम को भाऊ म अच्छो होतो।
He was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconiun.
3 पौलुस की इच्छा होती कि ऊ ओको संग चले; अऊर जो यहूदी लोग उन जागा म होतो उन्को वजह ओन ओको खतना करयो, कहालीकि हि सब जानत होतो, कि ओको बाप गैरयहूदी होतो।
Now Paul, wishing that this man should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him because of the local Jews, who all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 अऊर नगर नगर जातो हुयो हि उन विधियों ख जो यरूशलेम को प्रेरितों अऊर बुजूर्गों न ठहरायी होती, मानन लायी उन्ख पहुंचावत जात होतो।
And as they went on their way through the cities they handed them the resolutions which the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem had ordained for them to keep.
5 यो तरह मण्डली विश्वास म मजबूत होत गयी अऊर संख्या म हर दिन बढ़ती गयी।
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and continued to increase in number daily.
6 हि फ्रूगिया अऊर गलातिया प्रदेशों म सी होय क गयो, कहालीकि पवित्र आत्मा न उन्ख आसिया म वचन सुनावन सी मना करयो।
Then they went through Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit having forbidden them to proclaim the message in Asia.
7 उन्न मूसिया को जवर पहुंच क, बितूनिया म जानो चाह्यो; पर यीशु की आत्मा न उन्ख जान नहीं दियो।
When they got as far as Mysia, they attempted to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it;
8 येकोलायी हि मूसिया सी होय क त्रोआस म आयो।
and so they passed by Mysia and went on down to Troas.
9 उत पौलुस न रात ख एक दर्शन देख्यो कि एक मकिदुनिया को पुरुष खड़ो भयो ओको सी बिनती कर क् कह्य रह्यो हय, “पार उतर क मकिदुनिया म आव, अऊर हमरी मदत कर।”
Here a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia, entreating him and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us!"
10 ओको यो दर्शन देखतच हम न तुरतच मकिदुनिया जानो चाह्यो, यो समझ क कि परमेश्वर न हम्ख उन्ख सुसमाचार सुनावन लायी बुलायो हय।
So when he had seen the vision, we sought at once to go forth into Macedonia, because we concluded that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 येकोलायी त्रोआस सी जहाज खोल क हम सीधो सुमात्राके अऊर दूसरों दिन नियापुलिस म आयो।
So we set sail from Troas and ran a straight course to Samothrace. The next day we arrived in Neapolis,
12 उत सी हम फिलिप्पी पहुंच्यो, जो मकिदुनिया राज्य को मुख्य नगर अऊर रोमियों की बस्ती आय; अऊर हम ऊ नगर म कुछ दिन तक रह्यो।
and thence came to Philippi, a city of Macedonia, the fore most in its district, a Roman colony. There we stayed for some time.
13 आराम को दिन हम नगर की द्वार को बाहेर नदी को किनार यो समझ क गयो कि उत प्रार्थना करन की जागा होना, अऊर बैठ क उन बाईयों सी जो जमा भयी होती, बाते करन लग्यो।
On the Sabbath Day we went outside the city gate, to a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who had gathered there.
14 लुदिया नाम की थुआतीरा नगर की जामुनी कपड़ा बेचन वाली एक भक्त बाई सुन रही होती। प्रभु न ओको मन खोल्यो कि वा पौलुस की बातों पर मन लगायो।
Among them was a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, who belonged to the town of Thyatira. She, since she was a worshiper of God, listened to us, and the Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul said.
15 जब ओन अपनो घरानों समेत बपतिस्मा लियो, त ओन हम सी बिनती करी, “यदि तुम मोख प्रभु की विश्वासिनी समझय हय, त चल क मोरो घर म रहो,” अऊर वा हम्ख मनाय क ले गयी।
When she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she compelled us to come.
16 जब हम प्रार्थना करन की जागा जाय रह्यो होतो, त हम्ख एक दासी मिली जेको म भविष्य बतावन वाली दुष्ट आत्मा सी ग्रसित होती; अऊर लोगों को भविष्य बताय क अपनो मालिक लायी बहुत कुछ कमाय लेत होती।
Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain slave girl met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who brought her masters great gain by fortune-telling.
17 वा पौलुस को अऊर हमरो पीछू आय क चिल्लावन लगी, “यो आदमी परमप्रधान परमेश्वर को सेवक आय, जो हम्ख उद्धार को रस्ता की कथा सुनावय हंय।”
She used to follow after Paul and us, crying out again and again, "These men are servants of the most high God, who proclaimed to you the way of salvation."
18 ऊ बहुत दिन तक असोच करत रही; पर पौलुस दु: खी भयो, अऊर मुड़ क वा आत्मा सी कह्यो, “मय तोख यीशु मसीह को नाम सी आज्ञा देऊ हय कि ओको म सी निकल जा।” अऊर आत्मा उच समय निकल गयी।
She persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.
19 जब ओको मालिकों न देख्यो कि हमरी कमायी की आशा जाती रही, त पौलुस अऊर सीलास ख पकड़ क् चौक म मुखिया को जवर खीच ले गयो;
But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them before the magistrates, into the market-place.
20 अऊर उन्ख फौजदारी को शासकों को जवर ले गयो अऊर कह्यो, “हि लोग जो यहूदी हंय, हमरो नगर म बड़ी हलचल मचाय रह्यो हंय;
Then they brought them before the praetors, saying. "These fellows are Jews, who are making a great disturbance in our city.
21 अऊर असो नियम बताय रह्यो हंय, जिन्ख स्वीकार करनो यां माननो हम रोमियों लायी ठीक नहाय।”
"They are teaching customs which it is not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or practise."
22 तब भीड़ को लोग उन्को विरोध म जमा होय क चढ़ आयो, अऊर शासकों न उन्को कपड़ा फाड़ क उतार डाल्यो, अऊर उन्ख कोड़ा मारन की आज्ञा दी।
The crowd, too, rose up together against them, and the praetors, after having them stripped, and after ordering them to be flogged,
23 बहुत कोड़ा लगवाय क उन्न उन्ख जेलखाना म डाल दियो अऊर दरोगा ख आज्ञा दियो कि उन्ख चौकस सी रखे।
had many lashes inflicted upon them, and put them in prison, with a charge to the jailer to keep them safe.
24 ओन असी आज्ञा पा क उन्ख अन्दर की कोठरी म रख्यो अऊर उन्को पाय लकड़ी म ठोक दियो।
On receiving so strict an order he cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 अरधी रात को लगभग पौलुस अऊर सीलास प्रार्थना करतो हुयो परमेश्वर को भजन गाय रह्यो होतो, अऊर कैदी उन्की सुन रह्यो होतो।
But at midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
26 इतनो म अचानक बड़ो भूईडोल आयो, यहां तक कि जेलखाना को पायवा हल गयो, अऊर तुरतच सब दरवाजा खुल गयो; अऊर सब को बन्धन खुल गयो।
suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison-house were shaken; and instantly all the doors were opened, and every one’s chains fell off.
27 दरोगा जाग उठ्यो, अऊर जेलखाना को दरवाजा खुल्यो देख क समझ गयो कि कैदी भग गयो हंय, येकोलायी ओन तलवार निकाल क अपनो आप ख मार डालनो चाहयो।
The jailer, roused from sleep, and seeing the doors wide open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought that the prisoners had escaped.
28 पर पौलुस न ऊचो आवाज सी पुकार क कह्यो, “अपनो आप ख कुछ हानि मत पहुंचाव, कहालीकि हम सब इतच हंय।”
But Paul shouted loudly to him. "Do yourself no harm; for we are all here!"
29 तब ऊ दीया मंगाय क अन्दर लपक्यो, अऊर कापतो हुयो पौलुस अऊर सीलास को आगु गिरयो;
So he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 अऊर उन्ख बाहेर लाय क कह्यो, “हे सज्जनो, उद्धार पान लायी मय का करू?”
and brought them out, saying, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 उन्न कह्यो, “प्रभु यीशु मसीह पर विश्वास कर, त तय अऊर तोरो घराना उद्धार पायेंन।”
"Believe on the Lord Jesus," they answered, "and you will be saved, you and all your household."
32 अऊर उन्न ओख अऊर ओको पूरो घर को लोगों ख प्रभु को वचन सुनायो।
Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him, as well as to all who were in his house.
33 रात ख उच समय ओन उन्ख ली जाय क उन्को घाव धोयो, अऊर ओन अपनो सब लोगों को संग तुरतच बपतिस्मा लियो।
And he took them, the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, he and all his.
34 तब ओन उन्ख अपनो घर म ली जाय क उन्को आगु भोजन रख्यो, अऊर पूरो घरानों को संग परमेश्वर पर विश्वास कर क् खुश करयो।
And after bringing them up into his house, he set food before them, overjoyed with all his household in having believed in God.
35 जब दिन भयो तब शासकों न सिपाहियों को हाथ कहला भेज्यो कि उन आदमियों ख छोड़ दे।
But in the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order, "Let these men go."
36 दरोगा न या बाते पौलुस सी कह्यो, “शासकों न तुम्ख छोड़ देन की आज्ञा भेज दियो हय। येकोलायी अब निकल क शान्ति सी चली जावो।”
The jailer reported the words to Paul, saying. "The praetors have sent to release you; so come out, and go in peace."
37 पर पौलुस न उन्को सी कह्यो, “उन्न हम्ख जो रोमी आदमी हंय, दोषी ठहरायो बिना लोगों को आगु मारयो अऊर जेलखाना म डाल्यो। अब का हम्ख चुपचाप सी निकाल रह्यो हंय? असो नहीं; पर हि खुद आय क हम्ख बाहेर निकाले।”
But Paul said. "They have flogged us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Roman citizens; and have thrown us into prison. Are they now going to get rid of us secretly? No, indeed! Let them come here, themselves and take us out."
38 सिपाहियों न या बाते शासकों सी कह्यो, अऊर हि यो सुन क कि रोमी हंय, डर गयो,
The lictors reported these words to the praetors, who were frightened when they heard that they were Romans.
39 अऊर आय क उन्ख मनायो, अऊर बाहेर ली जाय क बिनती करी कि नगर सी चली जाये।
So they came and conciliated them, and after taking them out of prison, begged them to leave the town.
40 हि जेलखाना सी निकल क लुदिया को इत गयो, अऊर भाऊ सी मुलाखात कर क् उन्ख प्रोत्साहन कर ख, उत सी चली गयो।
So Paul and Silas came out of the prison, and went to Lydia’s house; and after they had seen the brethren and encouraged them, they left Philippi.
