प्रेरित 1
1 थियोफिलस, मैले पहिला लेखेको पुस्तकले येशूलाई माथि नलगिएसम्म उहाँले गर्न र सिकाउन थाल्नुभएका सबै कुरा बताएको छ ।
Truly, I made the first history, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 उहाँले चुन्नुभएका प्रेरितहरूलाई पवित्र आत्माद्वारा उहाँले आज्ञा दिनुभएपछि यसो भएको थियो ।
from the day on which, having given commandment through the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom He had chosen, He was received up.
3 उहाँको कष्टभोगपछि उहाँले धेरै विश्वसनीय प्रमाणसहित आफैँलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ जीवित प्रस्तुत गर्नुभयो । उहाँ चालिस दिनसम्म उनीहरूकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो र परमेश्वरको राज्यको बारेमा बताउनु भयो ।
To whom He also, after He suffered, manifested Himself alive in many testimonials, being seen by them forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
4 उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग भेटघाट गरिरहँदा उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई यरूशलेम नछोड्न, तर पिताको प्रतिज्ञाको प्रतीक्षा गर्नलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो । त्यसको बारेमा उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले मबाट सुन्यौ
and being assembled together with them, He commanded them, Not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father which ye heard from me;
5 कि वास्तवमा यूहन्नाले पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिए, तर केही दिनमा नै तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।
that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 तिनीहरू सँगै भेलाहुँदा, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई सोधे, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले इस्राएल राज्य पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुहुने समय यही हो?”
Therefore indeed having assembled, they asked Him saying, Lord, do you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “पिताले उहाँको अधिकारद्वारा तोक्नुभएको समय र ऋतुहरू जान्ने काम तिमीहरूको होइन ।
He said to them; It is not your province, to know the times or seasons, which the Father placed in His own authority.
8 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 ।”
But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost having come upon you, and shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the extremity of the earth.
9 येशूले यी कुराहरू भनिसक्नुभएपछि, तिनीहरूले माथि हेरिरहँदा उहाँलाई माथि उठाइयो, र बादलले उहाँलाई तिनीहरूका आँखाबाट छेक्यो ।
And having spoken these words, they looking, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him from their eyes.
10 उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा तिनीहरूले स्वर्गतिर उत्कटतापूर्वक हेरिररहेका बेला सेतो वस्त्र पहिरेका दुई जना मानिस अचानक तिनीहरूका छेउमा खडा भए ।
And while they were gazing up into the heaven, He going, and behold, two men stood by them in white garments, who also said,
11 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 ।
Ye Galilean men, why stand you looking up into the heaven? this same Jesus, the One having been received up into the heaven, will so come in the manner in which you saw Him going up into the heaven.
12 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेम नजिकै पर्ने जैतून डाँडाबाट यरूशलेमतिर फर्के, जुन एक शबाथ दिनको यात्रा जति टाढा थियो ।
Then they returned into Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, being a journey of a Sabbath day.
13 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 ।
And when they came in, they went up into the upper room, where Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James, were abiding.
14 तिनीहरू एकै मनको भएर प्रार्थनामा यत्नपूर्वक लागिरहे । त्यहाँ येशूकी आमा मरियम लगायत अन्य महिलाहरू र उहाँका भाइहरू पनि थिए ।
They were all persevering of one accord in prayer along with the women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
15 ती दिनहरूमा झण्डै १२० जना भाइका माझमा पत्रुस खडा भए र भने,
And during those days, Peter standing up in the midst of the brethren, said (and the number of names were about one hundred and twenty),
16 “भाइहरू हो, येशूलाई पक्राऊ गर्नलाई अगुवाइ गर्ने यहूदाको बारे दाऊदको मुखबाट पवित्र आत्माले पहिला नै बोल्नुभएको धर्मशास्त्र पुरा हुनु आवश्यक थियो ।
Men, brethren, it behooved the scripture which the Holy Ghost predicted through the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one becoming leader to those arresting Jesus, to be fulfilled;
17 किनभने त्यो हामीमध्ये एक जना थियो र त्यसले आफ्नो सेवाकाइको हिस्सा प्राप्त गर्यो ।”
because he was numbered among us and received the lot of this ministry.
18 (यो मानिसले उसको दुष्ट कर्मको कमाइबाट एउटा खेत किन्यो । त्यसपछि, उसको टाउको तल पारेर खस्यो, उसको शरीर फुट्यो, र उसको सबै आन्द्रा-भुँडी निस्क्यो ।
Then indeed he purchased a field by the reward of iniquity, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels burst out;
19 यो कुरा यरूशलेममा बस्ने सबैले सुने त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आफ्नो भाषामा त्यस खेतको नाम अखेल्दमा राखे जसको अर्थ “रगतको खेत” हुन्छ । )
which indeed was known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so that field, in their own dialect, is called Acheldamach; that is, field of blood.
20 “किनभने भजनसंग्रहको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ, ‘त्यसको खेत उजाड बनाइयोस् र त्यहाँ कोही एक जना पनि नबसोस्’ र ‘त्यसको नेतृत्वको पद अरू कसैले लिओस् ।’
For it has been written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no one dwelling in it, and let another take his pastorate.
21 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 ।”
Therefore the men having come together with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in unto us and went out,
beginning from the baptism of John, until the day on which He was taken up from us, it behooveth one of these to be witness of His resurrection along with us.
23 तिनीहरूले बरब्बा भनिने योसेफ जसको नाउँ युस्तस पनि थियो र मतियास दुई जनालाई अगि सारे ।
And they nominated two, Joseph, called Barsabas who was called Justus, and Matthias.
24 तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गरे र भने, “तपाईं प्रभुले सबै मानसिहरूको हृदय जान्नु हुन्छ, त्यसैले यी दुई जनामध्ये कसलाई चुन्नुभएको छ प्रकट गर्नुहोस्
And praying they said, Thou, O Lord, Heart-searcher of all, show up the one of these two, whom thou hast chosen
25 यहूदाले अपराध गरेर उसको ठाउँमा गएपछि खाली भएको यो सेवाकाइ र प्रेरितको पद तिनले लिऊन् ।”
to receive the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas departed to go into his own place.
26 उनीहरूले तिनीहरूको निम्ति चिट्ठा हाले; र चिट्ठा मतियासको नाममा पर्यो र तिनलाई एघार जना प्रेरितसँगै गनियो ।
And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
