प्रेरित 15
1 यहूदियाबाट केही मानिसहरू आए र भाइहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सिकाए, “जबसम्म तपाईंहरूले मोशाको विधिअनुसार खतना गर्नुहुन्न, तबसम्म तपाईंहरू बाँच्न सक्नुहुन्न ।”
And certain persons, having come down from Judaea, taught the brethren, If ye shall not have been circumcised according to the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 जब पावल र बारनाबासको तिनीहरूसँग विरोध र विवाद भयो तब यस प्रश्नलाई लिएर पावल, बारनाबास र अरू केही मानिस यरूशलेममा प्रेरित र एल्डरहरूकहाँ जानुपर्छ भनी भाइहरूले निर्णय गरे ।
A commotion therefore having taken place, and no small discussion on the part of Paul and Barnabas against them, they arranged that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from amongst them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 त्यसकारण उनीहरू मण्डलीद्वारा पठाइए अनि फोनिसिया र सामरिया भएर गए र गैरयहूदीहरू विश्वासमा आएका कुरा घोषणा गरे । उनीहरूले सबै दाजुभाइहरूमा ठुलो आनन्द ल्याए ।
They therefore, having been set on their way by the assembly, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of [those of] the nations. And they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 जब उनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए, उनीहरूलाई मण्डली, प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरूद्वारा स्वागत गरियो, र यसरी उनीहरूसँग परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका सबै कामहरूको प्रतिवेदन उनीहरूलाई सुनाए ।
And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, and related all that God had wrought with them.
5 फरिसी दलबाट विश्वास गरेका केही मानिसहरू उठे र भने, “तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्न र मोशाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिनु आवश्यक छ ।”
And some of those who were of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, rose up from among [them], saying that they ought to circumcise them and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses.
6 त्यसैले यस विषयमा विचार गर्न प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरू भेला भए ।
And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
7 धेरै छलफलपछि, पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “भाइहरू, केही समय अगाडि परमेश्वरले तपाईंहरूको माझमा गर्नुभएको एउटा छनौट तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ कि मेरो मुखद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूले सुसमाचारको वचन सुन्न सकून् र विश्वास गरून् ।
And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, ye know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe.
8 मानिसहरूका हृदय जान्नुहुने परमेश्वरले हामीलाई जस्तै तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मा दिएर तिनीहरूलाई गवाही दिनुहुन्छ ।
And the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving [them] the Holy Spirit as to us also,
9 विश्वासद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदय शुद्ध गर्नुभएर उहाँले हामीहरू र तिनीहरूका बिचमा कुनै भेदभाव गर्नुभएन ।
and put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
10 अब यसकारण हाम्रा पिताहरूले र हामीहरूले बोक्न नसकेको जुवा चेलाहरूको घाँटीमा राख्नैपर्छ भनी तपाईंहरू किन परमेश्वरको परीक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ?
Now therefore why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 तर हामी विश्वास गर्दछौँ कि हामीहरू प्रभु येशूको अनुग्रहद्वारा बचाइनेछौँ, जसरी तिनीहरू पनि बचाइए ।’’
But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they also.
12 तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरूको विवरण सुनिरहँदा सारा भिड चुपचाप रह्यो ।
And all the multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the nations by them.
13 तिनीहरूले बोल्न छोडेपछि, याकूबले जवाफ दिँदै भने, “भाइहरू हो, मेरा कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, listen to me:
14 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरूबाटै एक जाति लिनलाई कसरी पहिले गैरयहूदीहरूलाई कृपादृष्टिकासाथ सहायता गर्नुभयो भनी सिमोनले बताएका छन् ।
Simon has related how God first visited to take out of [the] nations a people for his name.
15 यससँग अगमवक्ताका वचनहरू सहमत छन्, किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ,
And with this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written:
16 यी कुराहरूपछि म फर्केर आउनेछु, र म दाऊदको ढलेको पाल फेरि निर्माण गर्नेछु, यसका भग्नावशेषहरूलाई म उठाउनेछु र फेरी पुनर्स्थापित गर्नेछु ।
After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up,
17 ताकि बाँकी रहेको मानिसहरू र सबै गैरयहूदीहरू लगायत मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइएकाहरूले प्रभुलाई खोज्न सकून्।
so that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is invoked, saith [the] Lord, who does these things
known from eternity. (aiōn g165)
19 त्यसकारण मेरो विचार यो छ कि परमेश्वरतिर फर्कने गैरयहूदीहरूलाई हामीले दुःख दिनुहुँदैन ।
Wherefore I judge, not to trouble those who from the nations turn to God;
20 तर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई यो लेख्छौँ कि तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरूको अशुद्धताबाट, व्यभिचारबाट र घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको मासु र रगतबाट अलग रहून् ।
but to write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 किनभने हरेक सहरमा मोशाको व्यवस्थाका कुराहरू हरेक सबाथमा पुस्तौंदेखि मानिसहरूले सभाघरहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र पढ्दै आएका छन् ।”
For Moses, from generations of old, has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
22 त्यसपछि मण्डलीका अगुवाहरू यहूदा बरसाबास र सिलासलाई छानेर पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा तिनीहरूलाई एन्टिओखिया पठाउने कुरा सबै प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू र सारा मण्डलीसहितलाई कुरा असल लाग्यो ।
Then it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders, with the whole assembly, to send chosen men from among them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, Judas called Barsabas and Silas, leading men among the brethren,
23 तिनीहरूले यो लेखे, “एन्टिओखिया, सिरिया र किलिकियामा भएका गैरयहूदी भाइहरू, प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू, भाइहरूलाई अभिवादन ।
having by their hand written [thus]: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from among [the] nations at Antioch, and [in] Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
24 हामीले त्यस्तो गर्ने आज्ञा नगरेका केही मानिसहरू हाम्रो बिचबाट तपाईंहरूकहाँ आएर तपाईंहरूको आत्मालाई दु: खित पार्ने खालका शिक्षाहरू दिएर तपाईंहरूलाई दुःख दिइरहेका छन् ।
Inasmuch as we have heard that some who went out from amongst us have troubled you by words, upsetting your souls, [saying that ye must be circumcised and keep the law]; to whom we gave no commandment;
25 त्यसैकारण हाम्रा प्रिय पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा कोही मानिसहरूलाई छानेर तपाईंहरूकहाँ पठाउन हामी सहमत भयौँ र यो हामी सबैलाई असल लाग्यो ।
it seemed good to us, having arrived at a common judgment, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 यी हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको खातिर आफ्नो जीवनलाई जोखिममा पारेका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 त्यसैले हामीले यहूदा र सिलासलाई पठाएका छौँ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही कुराहरू बताउनेछन् ।
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will tell you by word [of mouth] the same things.
28 किनभने यी आवश्यक कुराहरूभन्दा बढि ठुलो भार तपाईंहरूमाथि नबोकाउन पवित्र आत्मा र हामीलाई असल लाग्यो ।
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:
29 तपाईंहरू मूर्तिहरूलाई चढाइएका बलिदानका कुराहरू, रगत, घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको थोकहरू र यौन अनैतिकताबाट अलग रहनुहोस् । यदि तपाईंहरूले आफैँलाई यी कुराहरूबाट अलग राख्नुभयो भने तपाईंहरूलाई भलो हुनेछ । बिदा ।”
to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; keeping yourselves from which ye will do well. Farewell.
30 जब उनीहरू बिदा भएर एन्टिओखियामा आए । तिनीहरूलेभिडलाई एकसाथ भेला पारेपछि पत्र दिए ।
They therefore, being let go, came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude delivered to [them] the epistle.
31 जब तिनीहरूले यसलाई पढे, उत्साहको कारण तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए ।
And having read it, they rejoiced at the consolation.
32 यहूदा र सिलास पनि अगमवक्ताहरू भएकोले धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा भाइहरूलाई उत्साह दिए र तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पारे ।
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with much discourse, and strengthened them.
33 उनीहरूले त्यहाँ केही समय बिताइसकेपछि भाइहरूको बिचबाट उनीहरूलाई पठाउनेहरूकहाँ शान्तिसाथ पठाइयो ।
And having passed some time [there], they were let go in peace from the brethren to those who sent them.
34 (टिप्पणी: सबैभन्दा उत्तम प्राचीन पाण्डुलिपिहरूले “३४” पदलाई छोडेका छन् (प्रेरित १५:४० हेर्नुहोस्) तर सिमोनलाई त्यहाँ रहन नै असल लाग्यो ।
35 तर पावल र बारनाबास अरु धेरैकासाथ एन्टिओखियामा बसे । जहाँउनी सिकाए र प्रभुको वचन प्रचार गरे ।
And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and announcing the glad tidings, with many others also, of the word of the Lord.
36 केही दिनपछि पावलले बारनाबासलाई भने, “अहिले हामी फर्केर जाऔँ र हामीले प्रभुको वचन घोषणा गरेको हरेक सहरका भाइहरूलाई भेटौँ, र उनीहरू कस्ता छन हेरौँ ।
But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, [and see] how they are getting on.
37 बारनाबासले मर्कूस भनिने यूहन्नालाई पनि तिनीहरूसँगै लैजान चाहन्थे ।
And Barnabas proposed to take with [them] John also, called Mark;
38 तर पावलले मर्कूसलाई लिएर जान ठिक छैन भनी विचार गरे । किनभने पाम्फिलियामा हुँदा उनी तिनीहरूबाट छुट्टिएर उनीहरूसँग काममा अगाडि गएनन् ।
but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, [going back] from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.
39 तब त्यहाँ कडा असहमति उत्पन्न भयो । त्यसैकारण उनीहरू एकअर्काबाट छुट्टिए । अनि बारनाबासले मर्कूसलाई आफूसँगै लिएर साइप्रसतिर समुद्रयात्रा गरे ।
There arose therefore very warm feeling, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas taking Mark sailed away to Cyprus;
40 तर पावलले सिलासलाई छाने । भाइहरूद्वारा प्रभुको अनुग्रहमा सुम्पिएपछि उनी त्यहाँबाट बिदा भए ।
but Paul having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 र उनी मण्डलीहरूलाई बलियो पार्दै सिरिया र किलिकिया भएर गए ।
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
