प्रेरित 15
1 यहूदियाबाट केही मानिसहरू आए र भाइहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सिकाए, “जबसम्म तपाईंहरूले मोशाको विधिअनुसार खतना गर्नुहुन्न, तबसम्म तपाईंहरू बाँच्न सक्नुहुन्न ।”
But some men came down from Judea and attempted to teach the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised according to Moses’ custom, you 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 ।
Now when dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, the brethren appointed Paul and Barnabas, and certain others, to go up to Jerusalem to see 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 ।
So the church saw them off on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria. Here they set forth the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.
4 जब उनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए, उनीहरूलाई मण्डली, प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरूद्वारा स्वागत गरियो, र यसरी उनीहरूसँग परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका सबै कामहरूको प्रतिवेदन उनीहरूलाई सुनाए ।
Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were received by the church and the apostles and elders, and they told them all things that God had done with them.
5 फरिसी दलबाट विश्वास गरेका केही मानिसहरू उठे र भने, “तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्न र मोशाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिनु आवश्यक छ ।”
But certain men who had belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, but were now believers, stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise Gentile, and to order them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 त्यसैले यस विषयमा विचार गर्न प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरू भेला भए ।
The apostles and elders met to consider the 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 after there had been a long discussion, Peter rose and said. "Brothers, you know how a good while ago God made choice among you, that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the message of the gospel and believe.
8 मानिसहरूका हृदय जान्नुहुने परमेश्वरले हामीलाई जस्तै तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मा दिएर तिनीहरूलाई गवाही दिनुहुन्छ ।
"And God, who knows the hearts of all, gave this testimony in their behalf, by bestowing upon them the Holy Spirit just as he did upon us;
9 विश्वासद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदय शुद्ध गर्नुभएर उहाँले हामीहरू र तिनीहरूका बिचमा कुनै भेदभाव गर्नुभएन ।
"and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing their hearts by faith.
10 अब यसकारण हाम्रा पिताहरूले र हामीहरूले बोक्न नसकेको जुवा चेलाहरूको घाँटीमा राख्नैपर्छ भनी तपाईंहरू किन परमेश्वरको परीक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ?
"Now then, why are you tempting God by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 तर हामी विश्वास गर्दछौँ कि हामीहरू प्रभु येशूको अनुग्रहद्वारा बचाइनेछौँ, जसरी तिनीहरू पनि बचाइए ।’’
"On the contrary we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we and they shall be saved."
12 तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरूको विवरण सुनिरहँदा सारा भिड चुपचाप रह्यो ।
Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
13 तिनीहरूले बोल्न छोडेपछि, याकूबले जवाफ दिँदै भने, “भाइहरू हो, मेरा कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।
When they had finished speaking, James said.
14 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरूबाटै एक जाति लिनलाई कसरी पहिले गैरयहूदीहरूलाई कृपादृष्टिकासाथ सहायता गर्नुभयो भनी सिमोनले बताएका छन् ।
"Brothers, listen to me. Symeon has told how God first looked graciously upon the Gentiles, to take out from among them a people to be called by his name.
15 यससँग अगमवक्ताका वचनहरू सहमत छन्, किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ,
"And this is in harmony with the language of the prophets, which says.
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 I will rebuild David’s fallen tent; And I will build again its ruins, And I will set it up;
17 ताकि बाँकी रहेको मानिसहरू र सबै गैरयहूदीहरू लगायत मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइएकाहरूले प्रभुलाई खोज्न सकून्।
"So that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, Even all the Gentiles, who are called by my name,
"Says the Lord, who has been making this known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 त्यसकारण मेरो विचार यो छ कि परमेश्वरतिर फर्कने गैरयहूदीहरूलाई हामीले दुःख दिनुहुँदैन ।
"My judgment therefore, is against troubling those who turn to God from among the Gentiles;
20 तर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई यो लेख्छौँ कि तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरूको अशुद्धताबाट, व्यभिचारबाट र घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको मासु र रगतबाट अलग रहून् ।
"but that we should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from fornication, from meat killed by strangling, and from blood.
21 किनभने हरेक सहरमा मोशाको व्यवस्थाका कुराहरू हरेक सबाथमा पुस्तौंदेखि मानिसहरूले सभाघरहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र पढ्दै आएका छन् ।”
"For Moses from the earliest times has had his preachers in every town where he is read aloud, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the synagogues."
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 the elders, together with the whole church, to select some of their number, and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The men chosen were Judas called Bar- Sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
23 तिनीहरूले यो लेखे, “एन्टिओखिया, सिरिया र किलिकियामा भएका गैरयहूदी भाइहरू, प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू, भाइहरूलाई अभिवादन ।
They took with them the following letter. "The apostles and older brothers send greeting to the Gentile Brotherhood throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia;
24 हामीले त्यस्तो गर्ने आज्ञा नगरेका केही मानिसहरू हाम्रो बिचबाट तपाईंहरूकहाँ आएर तपाईंहरूको आत्मालाई दु: खित पार्ने खालका शिक्षाहरू दिएर तपाईंहरूलाई दुःख दिइरहेका छन् ।
"as we have heard that some of your number who went out from us have troubled you with words and upset your souls, without having received any such instruction from us;
25 त्यसैकारण हाम्रा प्रिय पावल र बारनाबासका साथमा कोही मानिसहरूलाई छानेर तपाईंहरूकहाँ पठाउन हामी सहमत भयौँ र यो हामी सबैलाई असल लाग्यो ।
"we have unanimously decided to select certain men, and to send them 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 risked their very lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 त्यसैले हामीले यहूदा र सिलासलाई पठाएका छौँ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही कुराहरू बताउनेछन् ।
"So we have sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 किनभने यी आवश्यक कुराहरूभन्दा बढि ठुलो भार तपाईंहरूमाथि नबोकाउन पवित्र आत्मा र हामीलाई असल लाग्यो ।
"For it has seemed good to the Holy Ghost 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 ।”
"that you abstain from food that has been sacrificed to idols, and from tasting blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear from these things and it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 जब उनीहरू बिदा भएर एन्टिओखियामा आए । तिनीहरूलेभिडलाई एकसाथ भेला पारेपछि पत्र दिए ।
So they, when they had been despatched, went down to Antioch, and after gathering the whole multitude together, they handed them the letter,
31 जब तिनीहरूले यसलाई पढे, उत्साहको कारण तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए ।
and when they had read it they rejoiced at the comfort it brought.
32 यहूदा र सिलास पनि अगमवक्ताहरू भएकोले धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा भाइहरूलाई उत्साह दिए र तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पारे ।
And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many a good counsel.
33 उनीहरूले त्यहाँ केही समय बिताइसकेपछि भाइहरूको बिचबाट उनीहरूलाई पठाउनेहरूकहाँ शान्तिसाथ पठाइयो ।
After spending some time there the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.
34 (टिप्पणी: सबैभन्दा उत्तम प्राचीन पाण्डुलिपिहरूले “३४” पदलाई छोडेका छन् (प्रेरित १५:४० हेर्नुहोस्) तर सिमोनलाई त्यहाँ रहन नै असल लाग्यो ।
Silas, however, stayed with them.
35 तर पावल र बारनाबास अरु धेरैकासाथ एन्टिओखियामा बसे । जहाँउनी सिकाए र प्रभुको वचन प्रचार गरे ।
Paul and Barnabas also stayed in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, in company with others.
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 ।
And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare."
37 बारनाबासले मर्कूस भनिने यूहन्नालाई पनि तिनीहरूसँगै लैजान चाहन्थे ।
Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was 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 unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to the work.
39 तब त्यहाँ कडा असहमति उत्पन्न भयो । त्यसैकारण उनीहरू एकअर्काबाट छुट्टिए । अनि बारनाबासले मर्कूसलाई आफूसँगै लिएर साइप्रसतिर समुद्रयात्रा गरे ।
So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus;
40 तर पावलले सिलासलाई छाने । भाइहरूद्वारा प्रभुको अनुग्रहमा सुम्पिएपछि उनी त्यहाँबाट बिदा भए ।
while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 र उनी मण्डलीहरूलाई बलियो पार्दै सिरिया र किलिकिया भएर गए ।
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
