प्रेरित 12
1 त्यसै समयमा हेरोद राजाले केही मानिसहरूमाथि हात हाल्न र समूहका केहीलाई दुर्व्यवहार समेत गर्न थाले ।
Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.
2 उनले यूहन्नाको भाइ याकूबलाई तरवारले मारे ।
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 त्यसपछि यस कुराले यहूदीहरूलाई प्रसन्न पारेको देखेपछि, उनी पत्रुसलाई पनि पक्रन अगि बढे । यो अखमिरी रोटीको चाडको समय थियो ।
And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread.
4 उनलाई पक्रेपछि, तिनले झ्यालखानामा हाले र उनलाई सुरक्षा गर्न चारवटा सैनिक दललाई खटाए । निस्तार चाडपछि उनलाई मनिसहरूका बिचमा ल्याउने तिनले विचार गरिरहेका थिए ।
And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
5 त्यसकारण पत्रुस झ्यालखानामा हालिए, तर उनको निम्ति समूहले यत्नपूर्वक परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गरेका थिए ।
Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.
6 हेरोदले तिनलाई बाहिर ल्याउन खोजेको अघिल्लो दिन, त्यस रातमा पत्रुस दुई जना सिपाहीका बिचमा दुईवटा साङ्लाले बाँधिएर सुतिरहेका थिए । ढोकाको अगाडि पहरेदारहरूले झ्यालखानाको सुरक्षा दिइरहेका थिए ।
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.
7 तब अचानक तिनको छेउमा प्रभुका दूत देखा परे र त्यस कोठामा ज्योति चम्क्यो । उनले पत्रुसको कोखामा हिर्काएर तिनलाई उठाए र भने, “छिटो उठ ।” त्यसपछि तिनका हातहरूबाट साङ्लाहरू झरे ।
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 स्वर्गदूतले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी आफैँले कपडाहरू र चप्पलहरू लगाऊ ।” पत्रुसले त्यसै गरे । स्वर्गदूतले तिनलाई भने, “आफ्ना बाहिरी वस्त्रहरू लगाऊ र मलाई पछ्याऊ ।’’
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 त्यसकारण पत्रुसले स्वर्गदूतलाई पछयाए र बाहिर गए । स्वर्गदूतले जुन काम गरेका थिए त्यो वास्तविक थियो भन्ने कुरा पत्रुसलाई थाहा नै थिएन । उनले दर्शन देखिरहेको छु भनी विचार गरे।
And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.
10 त्यसपछि पहिलो र दोस्रो पहरेदारलाई पार गरी सकेपछि, तिनीहरू सहरतिर डोर्याउने फलामे ढोकामा आइपुगे; यो तिनीहरूका निम्ति आफैँ खोलियो । तिनीहरू बाहिर गए र तलतिरको गल्लीमा गए र ठिक त्यही समयमा स्वर्गदूतले तिनलाई छाडेर गए ।
And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.
11 जब पत्रुस आफ्नो होशमा आए, उनले भने, “अहिले मलाई साँच्चै थाहा भयो कि प्रभुले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूत पठाएर हेरोदको हातबाट यहूदी मानिसहरूले आशा गरेको कुराबाट मलाई छुटकारा दिनुभयो ।”
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 उनले यो महसुस गरेपछि, उनी मर्कूस उपनाउँ गरेका यूहन्नाकी आमाको घरमा आए; त्यहाँ धेरै विश्वासीहरू भेला भएर प्रार्थना गरिरहेका थिए ।
And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.
13 जब उनले ढोका ढकढक्याए, तब रोधा नाउँ गरेकी एकजना दासी केटी ढोका खोल्न आइन् ।
And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
14 जब तिनले पत्रुसको आवाजलाई चिनिन्, तब आनन्दले भरिएर ढोका खोल्नै भुलिन् अनि कुद्दै कोठाभित्र आइन् र पत्रुस ढोकानिर उभिरहेका थिए भनी सुनाइन् ।
And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
15 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी बहुलाएकी छौ ।” यो त्यस्तै नै थियो भनी तिनले जिद्दी गरिन् । तिनीहरूले भने, “यो उनको स्वर्गदूत हो ।”
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 तर पत्रुसले निरन्तर ढोका ढकढक्याइरहे र जब तिनीहरूले ढोका खोले, तिनीहरूले उनलाई देखे र चकित भए ।
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
17 पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई चुप रहन हातले इसारा गरे र प्रभुले उनलाई कसरी कैदबाट बाहिर ल्याउनुभयो तिनीहरूलाई भने । उनले भने, “याकूब र भाइहरूलाई यी कुराहरू बताइदेओ ।” त्यसपछि उनले त्यो ठाउँ छाडे र अर्को ठाउँतिर गए ।
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.
18 जब उज्यालो भयो, पत्रुसलाई के भयो होला भनी त्यहाँ सिपाहीहरूको माझमा कम्ति उत्तेजना भएन ।
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 हेरोदले उनलाई खोजे र भेटाउन नसकेपछि, तिनले पहरेदारहरूलाई प्रश्न गरे र तिनीहरूलाई मृत्युदण्डको हुकुम दिए । त्यसपछि तिनी यहूदियाबाट कैसरियामा झरे र त्यहीँ बसे ।
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and tarried there.
20 हेरोद सीदोन र टुरोसका मानिसहरूसँग साह्रै रिसाएका थिए । तिनीहरू उनीकहाँ सँगै गए । तिनीहरूलाई सहयोग गर्नका निम्ति राजाका सहायक बलस्तसलाई मनाए । अनि तिनीहरूले शान्तिको लागि बिन्ती गरे, किनभने तिनीहरूको देशले राजाको देशबाट खाद्यान्न प्राप्त गर्ने गर्दथ्यो ।
Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.
21 एउटा तोकिएको दिनमा राजकीय पहिरन पहिरिएर हेरोद सिंहासनमा बसे, उनले तिनीहरूलाई भाषण दिए ।
And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 मानिसहरूले यसो भन्दै चिच्च्याए “यो त ईश्वरको अवाज हो, मानिसको होइन ।”
And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 तिनले परमेश्वरलाई महिमा नदिएका हुनाले तुरुन्तै प्रभुका एउटा दूतले तिनलाई प्रहार गरे, अनि किरा परेर तिनी तिनी मरे ।
And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 तर परमेश्वरको वचन वृद्धि र गुणात्मक हुँदै गयो ।
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 शाऊल र बारनाबासले यरूशलेमको तिनीहरूको मिसन पुरा गरेपछि, तिनीहरूले आफूसँगै यूहन्नालाई लिएर गए, जसको अर्को नाउँ मर्कूस थियो ।
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
