प्रेरित 12
1 त्यसै समयमा हेरोद राजाले केही मानिसहरूमाथि हात हाल्न र समूहका केहीलाई दुर्व्यवहार समेत गर्न थाले ।
NOW at that time Herod the king stretched forth his hand to treat cruelly certain persons belonging to the church.
2 उनले यूहन्नाको भाइ याकूबलाई तरवारले मारे ।
And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.
3 त्यसपछि यस कुराले यहूदीहरूलाई प्रसन्न पारेको देखेपछि, उनी पत्रुसलाई पनि पक्रन अगि बढे । यो अखमिरी रोटीको चाडको समय थियो ।
And seeing how agreeable this was to the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (Then 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 ।
Whom having apprehended, he put him in prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep guard over him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people for execution.
5 त्यसकारण पत्रुस झ्यालखानामा हालिए, तर उनको निम्ति समूहले यत्नपूर्वक परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गरेका थिए ।
So then Peter was kept in prison: but fervent prayer was offered up by the church to 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 ।
Now when Herod was going to bring him forth, the same night was Peter fast asleep between the two soldiers, fastened to them with two chains: and the 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, lo! an angel of the Lord stood there, and light glared through the apartment: then with a stroke on Peter’s side, he roused him up, and said, Arise quickly. And his chains fell 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 to him, Gird thyself up, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said unto him, Wrap thyself in thy mantle, 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 going out, he followed him; and knew not that it was a reality which was done by the angel; but he supposed 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 ।
So passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron door which leads into the city, which opened to them spontaneously: and being come out, they walked forward through one street; and immediately 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 Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know assuredly, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and all the eager 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 after considering with himself, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark; where many were thronged together, and praying.
13 जब उनले ढोका ढकढक्याए, तब रोधा नाउँ गरेकी एकजना दासी केटी ढोका खोल्न आइन् ।
Peter then knocking at the door of the gatetway, there came a damsel to ask who was there, 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 well knowing Peter’s voice, she opened not the door for joy; but running in, told that Peter was standing before the door.
15 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी बहुलाएकी छौ ।” यो त्यस्तै नै थियो भनी तिनले जिद्दी गरिन् । तिनीहरूले भने, “यो उनको स्वर्गदूत हो ।”
But they said, Thou art raving. But she confidently persisted that it was so. Then 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 they opened the door and saw him, and were astonished.
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 ।
Then beckoning with the hand that they should be silent, he informed them in what manner the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Tell James and the brethren these things. And departing thence he went into another place.
18 जब उज्यालो भयो, पत्रुसलाई के भयो होला भनी त्यहाँ सिपाहीहरूको माझमा कम्ति उत्तेजना भएन ।
Now when the day broke, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what could possibly 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 Herod sought him out earnestly, but not being able to find him, after having examined the guards strictly, he commanded them to be executed. And going down from Jerusalem to Caesarea, took up his abode 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 Herod was fiercely bent on war against the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they presented themselves unanimously before him, and ingratiating themselves with Blastus who was over the king’s bedchamber, they begged for peace; because their country received all their supply of provisions from the king’s territories.
21 एउटा तोकिएको दिनमा राजकीय पहिरन पहिरिएर हेरोद सिंहासनमा बसे, उनले तिनीहरूलाई भाषण दिए ।
Then on a day appointed, Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, and seated on his throne, made an harangue unto them.
22 मानिसहरूले यसो भन्दै चिच्च्याए “यो त ईश्वरको अवाज हो, मानिसको होइन ।”
And the populace shouted, It is the voice of a god, and not a man.
23 तिनले परमेश्वरलाई महिमा नदिएका हुनाले तुरुन्तै प्रभुका एउटा दूतले तिनलाई प्रहार गरे, अनि किरा परेर तिनी तिनी मरे ।
But instantly the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not the glory to God: and being devoured with worms, he expired.
24 तर परमेश्वरको वचन वृद्धि र गुणात्मक हुँदै गयो ।
But the word of the Lord increased, and was widely diffused.
25 शाऊल र बारनाबासले यरूशलेमको तिनीहरूको मिसन पुरा गरेपछि, तिनीहरूले आफूसँगै यूहन्नालाई लिएर गए, जसको अर्को नाउँ मर्कूस थियो ।
Then Barnabas and Saul departed from Jerusalem, having completed the distribution of the sum entrusted with them; and they took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
