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 stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
2 उनले यूहन्नाको भाइ याकूबलाई तरवारले मारे ।
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 ।
When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during 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 ।
When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5 त्यसकारण पत्रुस झ्यालखानामा हालिए, तर उनको निम्ति समूहले यत्नपूर्वक परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गरेका थिए ।
Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made 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 ।
The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of 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 look, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." 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 ।’’
The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, 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 him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, 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 ।
When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down 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 ।”
When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
12 उनले यो महसुस गरेपछि, उनी मर्कूस उपनाउँ गरेका यूहन्नाकी आमाको घरमा आए; त्यहाँ धेरै विश्वासीहरू भेला भएर प्रार्थना गरिरहेका थिए ।
Thinking about that, 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 Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 जब तिनले पत्रुसको आवाजलाई चिनिन्, तब आनन्दले भरिएर ढोका खोल्नै भुलिन् अनि कुद्दै कोठाभित्र आइन् र पत्रुस ढोकानिर उभिरहेका थिए भनी सुनाइन् ।
When she recognized Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी बहुलाएकी छौ ।” यो त्यस्तै नै थियो भनी तिनले जिद्दी गरिन् । तिनीहरूले भने, “यो उनको स्वर्गदूत हो ।”
They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. 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. 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 to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to James, and to the brothers." Then 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 about what had 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 ।
When Herod had sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed 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 very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
21 एउटा तोकिएको दिनमा राजकीय पहिरन पहिरिएर हेरोद सिंहासनमा बसे, उनले तिनीहरूलाई भाषण दिए ।
On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 मानिसहरूले यसो भन्दै चिच्च्याए “यो त ईश्वरको अवाज हो, मानिसको होइन ।”
But the crowd shouted, "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 ।
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
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 ।
Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
