प्रेरित 11
1 अहिले यहूदीयामा भएका प्रेरितहरू र भाइहरूले गैरयहूदीहरूले पनि परमेश्वरको वचन ग्रहण गरेका थिए भन्ने सुने ।
AND the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 जब पत्रुस यरूशलेममा आए, खतनाको समूहका मानिसहरूले तिनकोको आलोचना गरे ।
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 तिनीहरूले भने, “तपाईं बेखतनाका मानसिहरूसँग बस्नुभयो र तिनीहरूसँग खानुभयो ।”
Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
4 तर पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो कुरा विस्तृत रूपमा वर्णन गर्न सुरु गरे; उनले भनेः
But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
5 ‘म योप्पा सहरमा प्रार्थना गरिरहेको थिएँ, र मैले एउटा दर्शन देखेँ जसमा स्वर्गबाट एउटा ठूलो तन्ना जस्तो तलतिर झरिएको थियो । यो मकहाँ आयो ।
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
6 मैले यसलाई एक टक लगाएर हेरेँ र यस बारे सोचेँ । मैले पृथ्वीको चारखुट्टे जनावरहरू, जङ्गली जन्तुहरू, घस्रने जन्तुहरू, र आकासमा उड्ने चराहरू देखेँ।
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7 त्यसपछि मैले एउटा आवाजले मलाईं भनेको सुने, “पत्रुस उठ अनि तिनीहरूलाई मारे र खाऊ ।”
And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 मैले भने, “प्रभु, यसो होइन, किनभने अहिलेसम्म अपवित्र र अशुद्ध थोक मेरो मुखमा परेकै छैनन् ।”
But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 तर स्वर्गबाट फेरि उत्तर आयो, “परमेश्वरले जुन कुराहरूलाई शुद्ध घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ, अशुद्ध नभन ।’’
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10 यो तिन पल्टसम्म भयो, त्यसपछि सबै कुरा स्वर्गतिर फेरि उठाइ लगियो ।
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 हेर्नुहोस्, हामी बसको घर अगाडि तिन जना मानिस उभिरहेका थिए । उनीहरूलाई कैसरियाबाट मकहाँ पठाइएको थियो ।
And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
12 पवित्र आत्माले मलाईं उनीहरूसँग जानु र मैले तिनीहरूको सम्बन्धमा कुनै विभेद गर्नुहुँदैन भनी आज्ञा दिनुभयो । यी छ जना भाइहरू मसँग गए र हामी त्यो मानिसको घरभित्र गयौँ ।
And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
13 उनले स्वर्गदूत तिनको घरमा उभिरहेको कसरी देखेका थिए, र तिनले उनलाई यसो भने भनी हामीलाई बताए, “योप्पामा मानिसहरूलाई पठाऊ र सिमोनलाई फर्काएर ल्याऊ, जसको अर्को नाउँ पत्रुस हो ।
And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 उनले तिम्रो लागि एउटा सन्देश बताउने छन् जसद्वारा तिमी बचाइनेछौ, तिमी र तिम्रो सबै घराना ।”
Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
15 जब म तिनिहरूसँग बोल्न थालेँ, तिनीहरूमाथि पवित्र आत्मा आउनुभयो, जसरी सुरुमा हामीमाथि आउनुभएको थियो ।
And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 कसरी उहाँले भन्नुभएको थियो, तब मैले प्रभुका वचनहरूलाई सम्झेँ, ‘‘यूहन्नाले पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिए, तर तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।’’
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 हामीले प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टमाथि विश्वास गर्दा उहाँले हामीलाई दिनुभएको त्यही वरदान उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो भने, परमेश्वरको विरोध गर्ने म को थिएँ र?’’’
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 जब तिनीहरूले यी कुराहरू सुने, तिनीहरूले कुनै पनि प्रतिकृया जनाएनन् । तर तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे र भने, ‘‘परमेश्वरले गैर-यहूदीहरूलाई पनि जीवनको निम्ति पश्चात्ताप दिनुभएको छ ।’’
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
19 त्यसकारण स्तिफनसको मृत्युसँगै सुरु भएको कष्ट भोगिरहेका विश्वासीहरू यरूशलेमबाट छरपस्ट भए । यी विश्वासीहरू फोनेसिया, साइप्रस र एन्टिओखियासम्म गए । उनीहरूले येशूको बारेमा सन्देश अरू कसैलाई नबताई यहूदीहरूलाई मात्र बताए ।
Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
20 तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केही मानिसहरू साइप्रस र कुरेनीबाटका एन्टिओखियामा आए र ग्रिकहरूसँग पनि बोले र प्रभु येशूको प्रचार गरे ।
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 र तिनीहरूसँग प्रभुको हात थियो, ठुलो संख्यामा मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे र प्रभुतिर फर्के ।
And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
22 तिनीहरूको बारेको खबर यरूशलेमको मण्डलीको कानमा आइपुग्यो र तिनीहरूले बारनाबासलाई एन्टिओखियासम्म पठाए ।
Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
23 जब उनी आए र परमेश्वरको वरदानलाई देखे, तब उनी खुसी भए, र तिनीहरूको सम्पूर्ण हृदयले प्रभुसँगै रहिरहन उनले उत्साह दिए ।
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
24 बारनाबास एक असल र पवित्र आत्माले भरिएका र विश्वासमा परिपक्व मानिस थिए, र प्रभुमा धेरै मानिसहरू थपिए ।
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
25 तब बारनाबास शाऊललाई खोज्नका निम्ति टार्ससतिर गए ।
Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26 जब उनले तिनलाई भेटाए, तब उनले तिनलाई एन्टिओखियामा ल्याए । तिनीहरू पुरै वर्षभरी नै मण्डलीमा सँगसँगै भेला भए र धेरै मानिसहरूलाई सिकाए । एन्टिओखियामा नै पहिलोपल्ट चेलाहरूलाई ख्रीष्टियान भनियो ।
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
27 अब यी दिनहरूमा केही अगमवक्ताहरू यरूशलेमबाट तल एन्टिओखियामा आए ।
And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28 तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना अगाबस नाउँ गरेका उभिएर संसारभरि नै ठुलो अनिकाल आउन लागेको छ भनी आत्माले देखाउनुभयो । क्लाउडियसका दिनहरूमा यस्तो भयो ।
And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.
29 त्यसैले सक्ने जति हरेक चेलाहरूले यहूदियामा भएका भाइहरूलाई सहायता पठाउने निर्णय गरे ।
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:
30 तिनीहरूले त्यसो गरेपछि, तिनीहरूले शाऊल र बारनाबासको हातमा एल्डरहरूकहाँ पैसा पठाए ।
Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
