प्रेरित 11
1 अहिले यहूदीयामा भएका प्रेरितहरू र भाइहरूले गैरयहूदीहरूले पनि परमेश्वरको वचन ग्रहण गरेका थिए भन्ने सुने ।
And the apostles and brethren who were in Jihud heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of Aloha.
2 जब पत्रुस यरूशलेममा आए, खतनाको समूहका मानिसहरूले तिनकोको आलोचना गरे ।
AND when Shemun had gone up to Urishlem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 तिनीहरूले भने, “तपाईं बेखतनाका मानसिहरूसँग बस्नुभयो र तिनीहरूसँग खानुभयो ।”
saying, that unto men uncircumcised he had entered, and had eaten with them.
4 तर पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो कुरा विस्तृत रूपमा वर्णन गर्न सुरु गरे; उनले भनेः
And Shemun put forth in order to say to them,
5 ‘म योप्पा सहरमा प्रार्थना गरिरहेको थिएँ, र मैले एउटा दर्शन देखेँ जसमा स्वर्गबाट एउटा ठूलो तन्ना जस्तो तलतिर झरिएको थियो । यो मकहाँ आयो ।
That while praying in Joppa I saw a vision; a certain vessel descended which was like to a sheet, and bound at the four corners: and it came down from heaven and came unto 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।
And gazing at it I beheld in it animals of four feet, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of the heaven.
7 त्यसपछि मैले एउटा आवाजले मलाईं भनेको सुने, “पत्रुस उठ अनि तिनीहरूलाई मारे र खाऊ ।”
And I heard a voice which said to me, Shemun, arise, slay, and eat.
8 मैले भने, “प्रभु, यसो होइन, किनभने अहिलेसम्म अपवित्र र अशुद्ध थोक मेरो मुखमा परेकै छैनन् ।”
And I said, Not so, my Lord; for nothing hath entered my mouth that is unclean or profane.
9 तर स्वर्गबाट फेरि उत्तर आयो, “परमेश्वरले जुन कुराहरूलाई शुद्ध घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ, अशुद्ध नभन ।’’
And again the voice said to me from heaven, What Aloha hath cleansed make not thou to be polluted.
10 यो तिन पल्टसम्म भयो, त्यसपछि सबै कुरा स्वर्गतिर फेरि उठाइ लगियो ।
This was done three times, and every thing was taken up into heaven.
11 हेर्नुहोस्, हामी बसको घर अगाडि तिन जना मानिस उभिरहेका थिए । उनीहरूलाई कैसरियाबाट मकहाँ पठाइएको थियो ।
And at that moment three men, who had been sent to me by Cornelius from Cesarea, came and stood at the gate of the court where I was sojourning.
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 said to me, Go with them without doubting. And there went also with me these six brethren, 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 related to us how he had seen in his house an angel, who stood and said to him, Send to the city Joppa, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha,
14 उनले तिम्रो लागि एउटा सन्देश बताउने छन् जसद्वारा तिमी बचाइनेछौ, तिमी र तिम्रो सबै घराना ।”
and he will speak with thee words by which thou wilt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 जब म तिनिहरूसँग बोल्न थालेँ, तिनीहरूमाथि पवित्र आत्मा आउनुभयो, जसरी सुरुमा हामीमाथि आउनुभएको थियो ।
And when I proceeded to speak there, the Spirit of Holiness overshadowed them, as upon us from the beginning.
16 कसरी उहाँले भन्नुभएको थियो, तब मैले प्रभुका वचनहरूलाई सम्झेँ, ‘‘यूहन्नाले पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिए, तर तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मामा बप्तिस्मा दिइनेछ ।’’
And I remembered the word of our Lord, who said, Juhanon baptized you with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness.
17 हामीले प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टमाथि विश्वास गर्दा उहाँले हामीलाई दिनुभएको त्यही वरदान उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो भने, परमेश्वरको विरोध गर्ने म को थिएँ र?’’’
If then Aloha equally hath given the gift to the Gentiles who have believed in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha as we, who was I, that I should be sufficient to prohibit Aloha?
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 ।’’
And when these words they had heard they were silent, and they praised Aloha, and said, Now also unto the Gentiles Aloha hath given 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 ।
BUT they who had been dispersed by the tribulation that was concerning Estephanos went unto Punika, also to the region of Kypros and to Antiokia, but with any one not speaking the word unless only with the Jihudoyee.
20 तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केही मानिसहरू साइप्रस र कुरेनीबाटका एन्टिओखियामा आए र ग्रिकहरूसँग पनि बोले र प्रभु येशूको प्रचार गरे ।
But of them were men of Kypros and of Kyrine; these entered into Antiokia, and discoursed with the Javnoyee, and evangelized concerning our Lord Jeshu.
21 र तिनीहरूसँग प्रभुको हात थियो, ठुलो संख्यामा मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे र प्रभुतिर फर्के ।
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and many believed, and were converted unto the Lord.
22 तिनीहरूको बारेको खबर यरूशलेमको मण्डलीको कानमा आइपुग्यो र तिनीहरूले बारनाबासलाई एन्टिओखियासम्म पठाए ।
And this was heard by the ears of the sons of the church which was at Urishlem, and they sent Bar Naba to Antiokia.
23 जब उनी आए र परमेश्वरको वरदानलाई देखे, तब उनी खुसी भए, र तिनीहरूको सम्पूर्ण हृदयले प्रभुसँगै रहिरहन उनले उत्साह दिए ।
And when he came thither, and beheld the grace of Aloha, he rejoiced, and entreated them with all their heart to cleave to our 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 Spirit of Holiness and of faith, and there was added much people to our Lord.
25 तब बारनाबास शाऊललाई खोज्नका निम्ति टार्ससतिर गए ।
And he went forth to Tarsos to seek for Shaol;
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 with him to Antiokia. And a whole year together they assembled in the church, and taught much people: from thence first in Antiokia the disciples were called Christianee.
27 अब यी दिनहरूमा केही अगमवक्ताहरू यरूशलेमबाट तल एन्टिओखियामा आए ।
And in those days there came from Urishlem thither prophets.
28 तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना अगाबस नाउँ गरेका उभिएर संसारभरि नै ठुलो अनिकाल आउन लागेको छ भनी आत्माले देखाउनुभयो । क्लाउडियसका दिनहरूमा यस्तो भयो ।
And one of them arose whose name was Agabos: and he made known to them by the Spirit that a great famine would be in all the land. And that famine was in the days of Claudios Caesar.
29 त्यसैले सक्ने जति हरेक चेलाहरूले यहूदियामा भएका भाइहरूलाई सहायता पठाउने निर्णय गरे ।
Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud;
30 तिनीहरूले त्यसो गरेपछि, तिनीहरूले शाऊल र बारनाबासको हातमा एल्डरहरूकहाँ पैसा पठाए ।
and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.
