प्रेरित 10
1 कैसरिया सहरमा कर्नेलियस नाउँका एक जना मानिस थिए जो इटालिया नामक पल्टनका कप्तान थिए ।
There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
2 तिनी ईश्वरभक्त मानिस थिए । तिनी र तिनका सारा घरानाले परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्थे । तिनले यहूदीहरूलाई धेरै रूपैयाँ-पैसा सहयोग गरे र तिनले सधैँ परमेश्वरलाई प्रार्थना चढाइरहन्थे ।
[A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 दिउँसो तिन बजेतिर तिनले दर्शनमा परमेश्वरका एक स्वर्गदूत आफूतिर आइरहेको देखे । स्वर्गदूतले भने, “ए कर्नेलियस”
He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 कर्नेलियसले एकटक लगाएर स्वर्गदूतलाई हेरे र भयभीत हुँदै भने, “हजुर, भन्नुहोस् ।” स्वर्तदूतले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रा प्रार्थना र तिमीले गरिबहरूलाई दिएका दान सम्झनायोग्य बलिको रूपमा परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा पुगेका छन् ।
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 पत्रुस पनि भनेर चिनिने सिमोन भनिने मानिसलाई ल्याउन योप्पा शहरमा मानिसहरू पठाऊ ।
And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 तिनी सिमोन नामक चर्मकारसित बसिरहेका छन् जसको घर समुद्रको छेउमा छ ।”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 आफूसित बोल्ने स्वर्गदूत गएपछि कर्नेलियसले आफ्नो घरका दुई जना नोकर र तिनको सेवा गर्ने सिपाहीहरूमध्ये परमेश्वरलाई पुज्ने एक जना सिपाहीलाई बोलाए ।
And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 कर्नेलियसले तिनीहरूलाई सबै कुरा बताएर तिनीहरूलाई योप्पा पठाए ।
And when he had declared all [these] things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 भोलिपल्ट लगभग दिउँसोको बाह्र बजेको थियो । तिनीहरू यात्रा गरेर शहरको नजिक आइपुग्दा पत्रुस प्रार्थनाको लागि घरको माथिल्लो कौसीमा उक्ले ।
On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour:
10 तिनी भोकाए र तिनलाई केही खान मन लाग्यो । तर मानिसहरूले खानेकुरा पकाइरहँदा तिनीले एउटा दर्शन देखे ।
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 तिनले आकास खुलेको र एउटा वस्तु पृथ्वीतिर खसिरहेको देखे जुन चारै कुनामा बाँधिएको एउटा ठुलो तन्नाजस्तो थियो ।
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 त्यसमा सबै किसिमका चारखुट्टे प्राणीहरू, पृथ्वीमा घस्रने जन्तुहरू र आकासका चराचुरुङ्गीहरू थिए ।
In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
13 त्यसपछि एउटा आवाजले तिनलाई भन्यो, “पत्रुस, उठ अनि मारेर खाऊ ।”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 तर पत्रुसले भने, “हुँदैन प्रभु । किनकि मैले कहिल्यै अशुद्ध र अपवित्र कुराहरू खाएको छैनँ ।”
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 तर त्यो आवाज दोस्रो पटक पनि तिनीकहाँ आयोः “परमेश्वरले जेलाई शुद्ध पार्नुभएको छ तिमीले त्यसलाई अशुद्ध नभन ।”
And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
16 तिन पटकसम्म यसै भयो । त्यसपछि त्यो तन्नाजस्तो वस्तु तुरुन्तै आकासतिर लगियो ।
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into heaven.
17 आफूले देखेको दर्शनको अर्थ के होला भनेर पत्रुस अन्योलमा परिरहँदा कर्नेलियसले पठाइएका मानिसहरू ढोकाको सामु खडा भए । तिनीहरू घर खोज्दै त्यहाँ आइपुगेका थिए ।
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
18 पत्रुस भनिने सिमोन त्यहाँ बसिरहेका छन् कि छैनन् भनी तिनीहरूले सोधे ।
And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 पत्रुसले दर्शनको बारेमा अझै सोचिरहेकै बेला पवित्र आत्माले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर, तिन जना मानिसले तिम्रो खोजी गर्दैछन् ।
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 उठ र तल जाऊ अनि तिनीहरूसँगै लाग । तिनीहरूसँगै जानदेखि नडराऊ किनकि मैले नै तिनीहरूलाई पठाएको हुँ ।”
Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 त्यसैले, पत्रुस ती मानिसहरूकहाँ ओर्ले र तिनले भने, “तपाईंहरूले खोजिरहनुभएको व्यक्ति मै हुँ । तपाईंहरू किन आउनुभएको?”
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause for which ye have come?
22 तिनीहरूले भने, “परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्ने कर्नेलियस नाउँ गरेका कप्तान धर्मी मानिस हुनुहुन्छ जो सारा यहूदी जातिको बिचमा प्रसिद्ध हुनुहुन्छ । परमेश्वरका पवित्र स्वर्गदूतले तपाईंलाई बोलाएर उहाँको घरमा ल्याऊ भनी उहाँलाई आज्ञा दिए ताकि उहाँले तपाईंको सन्देश सुन्न सकून् ।”
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
23 त्यसैले, पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई भित्र आई तिनी र तिनका मानिसहरूसित बस्न निमन्त्रणा दिए । भोलिपल्ट बिहान पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूसँगै गए । योप्पाका केही भाइहरू पनि तिनीसँगै लागे ।
Then he called them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 अर्को दिन तिनीहरू कैसरिया आइपुगे । कर्नेलियसले तिनीहरूको प्रतीक्षा गर्दै थिए । तिनले आफ्ना नातेदारहरूसाथै घनिष्ठ मित्रहरूलाई पनि बोलाएका थिए ।
And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 पत्रुस भित्र पसेपछि कर्नेलियसले तिनलाई स्वागत गरे र तिनको सम्मान गर्दै तिनले दण्डवत् गरे ।
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped [him].
26 तर पत्रुसले तिनलाई उठाएर भने, “उठ्नुहोस् । म आफैँ पनि केवल मानिस हुँ ।”
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.
27 पत्रुस तिनीसित बातचित गरिरहँदा तिनी भित्र प्रवेश गरे र धेरै मानिसहरू जम्मा भएका देखे ।
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
28 पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा छ कि एउटा यहूदीले अर्को जातिका मानिसहरूसित सङ्गत गर्नु वा तिनीहरूलाई भेटघाट गर्नु अनुचित कार्य हो । तर मैले कुनै पनि मानिसलाई अशुद्ध वा अपवित्र भन्नु हुँदैन भनी परमेश्वरले मलाई देखाउनुभएको छ ।
And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 त्यसकारण, मलाई बोलाइँदा म गनगन नगरीकन आएँ । तपाईंहरूले मलाई किन बोलाउनुभएको?”
Therefore I came [to you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30 कर्नेलियसले भने, “चार दिनअगि यही घडीमा म मेरो घरमा दिउँसो तिन बजे प्रार्थना गरिरहँदा सेतो पोशाक लगाएका एक जना मानिस मेरो सामु खडा भए ।
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 तिनले भने, ‘हे कर्नेलियस, परमेश्वरले तिम्रो प्रार्थना सुन्नुभएको छ र तिमीले गरीबहरूलाई दिएको दानको सम्झना गर्नुभएको छ ।
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 त्यसैले, कसैलाई योप्पामा पठाऊ र पत्रुस भनिने सिमोनलाई डाकेर ल्याऊ । तिनी सिमोन भनिने चर्मकारको घरमा बसिरहेका छन् जुन समुद्रको छेउमा पर्छ ।’
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of [one] Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
33 त्यसैले, तुरुन्तै मैले तपाईंलाई बोलाउन पठाएँ । तपाईं गनगन नगरीकन आइदिनुभयो । अब परमप्रभुले तपाईंलाई निर्देशन दिनुभएका सबै कुरा सुन्न हामी सबै यहाँ परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा छौँ ।”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.
34 तब पत्रुसले आफ्नो मुख खोलेर भनेः “साँच्चै म जान्दछु कि परमेश्वरले कसैको पक्षपात गर्नुहुन्न ।
Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 बरु, हरेक जातिमा उहाँको आराधना गर्ने र धार्मिक कामहरू गर्ने व्यक्ति उहाँको अगि स्वीकारयोग्य हुन्छ ।
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 परमेश्वरले इस्राएलीहरूलाई पठाउनुभएको सन्देश तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ । उहाँले सबैका प्रभु अर्थात् येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा शान्तिको बारेमा सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्नुभयो ।
The word which [God] sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
37 यूहन्नाले प्रचार गरेको बप्तिस्मापश्चात् गालीलबाट सुरु गरेर सारा यहूदियाभरि भएका घटनाहरूको बारेमा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ ।
That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 ती घटनाहरू नासरतका येशूको बारेमा हुन् जसलाई परमेश्वरले पवित्र आत्मा र शक्तिले अभिषेक गर्नुभएको थियो । उहाँले असल कामहरू गर्नुभयो र शैतानद्वारा पीडितहरूलाई निको पार्दै जानुभयो किनकि परमेश्वर उहाँसित हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 यहूदीहरूको देश र यरूशलेम दुवैमा उहाँले गर्नुभएका सबै कुराहरूका हामी साक्षी हौँ । यही येशूलाई तिनीहरूले काठमा झुण्ड्याएर मारे ।
And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.
40 परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई तेस्रो दिनमा बिउँताउनुभयो र प्रकट गराउनुभयो,
Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;
41 सबैकहाँ होइन तर परमेश्वरले पहिले नै छान्नुभएका साक्षीहरूकहाँ । हामी नै ती साक्षीहरू हौँ जसले उहाँ मृतकहरूबाट बौरी उठ्नुभएपछि उहाँसँगै खायौँ र पियौँ ।
Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई नै जिउँदा र मरेकाहरूको न्यायकर्ता हुन चुन्नुभएको छ भनी मानिसहरूलाई प्रचार गर्न र गवाही दिन उहाँले हामीलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 सबै अगमवक्ताहरूले उहाँको गवाही दिएका छन् ताकि उहाँमाथि विश्वास गर्ने हरेकले उहाँको नाउँद्वारा पापको क्षमा पाओस् ।”
To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 पत्रुसले यी कुराहरू बताइरहँदा तिनको सन्देश सुन्नेहरू सबैमाथि पवित्र आत्मा ओर्लनुभयो ।
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word.
45 पत्रुससँगै आएका यहूदी विश्वासीहरू छक्क परे किनकि पवित्र आत्माको वरदान अन्यजातिहरूलाई पनि दिइएको थियो ।
And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
46 किनभने तिनीहरूले यी अन्यजातिहरूले अन्य भाषाहरूमा बोलेका र परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरेका सुने । तब पत्रुसले जवाफ दिए,
For they heard them speak in languages and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 “हामीले जस्तै पवित्र आत्मा प्राप्त गर्ने यी मानिसहरूलाई पानीको बप्तिस्मा लिनदेखि कसैले रोक्न सक्छ?”
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 तिनले तिनीहरूलाई येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा बप्तिस्मा लिनू भन्ने आज्ञा दिए । तिनीहरूले तिनलाई केही दिन तिनीहरूसँगै बस्न अनुरोध गरे ।
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.
