प्रेरित 15
1 यहूदियाबाट केही मानिसहरू आए र भाइहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सिकाए, “जबसम्म तपाईंहरूले मोशाको विधिअनुसार खतना गर्नुहुन्न, तबसम्म तपाईंहरू बाँच्न सक्नुहुन्न ।”
Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers: “If you are not circumcised according to the custom of Moses, 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 ।
Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had a great dissension and debate with them, the brothers appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among the believers to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem to discuss this issue.
3 त्यसकारण उनीहरू मण्डलीद्वारा पठाइए अनि फोनिसिया र सामरिया भएर गए र गैरयहूदीहरू विश्वासमा आएका कुरा घोषणा गरे । उनीहरूले सबै दाजुभाइहरूमा ठुलो आनन्द ल्याए ।
After being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria and brought great joy to all the brothers when they described in detail the conversion of the Gentiles.
4 जब उनीहरू यरूशलेममा आए, उनीहरूलाई मण्डली, प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरूद्वारा स्वागत गरियो, र यसरी उनीहरूसँग परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका सबै कामहरूको प्रतिवेदन उनीहरूलाई सुनाए ।
When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done through them.
5 फरिसी दलबाट विश्वास गरेका केही मानिसहरू उठे र भने, “तिनीहरूलाई खतना गर्न र मोशाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्न आज्ञा दिनु आवश्यक छ ।”
But some of the believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise the Gentiles and command them to keep the law of Moses.”
6 त्यसैले यस विषयमा विचार गर्न प्रेरितहरू र एल्डरहरू भेला भए ।
So the apostles and the elders gathered together to consider 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 ।
After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among us, that by the words of my mouth the Gentiles would 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 heart, testified to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.
9 विश्वासद्वारा तिनीहरूका हृदय शुद्ध गर्नुभएर उहाँले हामीहरू र तिनीहरूका बिचमा कुनै भेदभाव गर्नुभएन ।
He made no distinction between us and them, purifying 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 putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that 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 ।’’
On the contrary, we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way they are.”
12 तिनीहरूले पावल र बारनाबासद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा परमेश्वरले गर्नुभएका चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरूको विवरण सुनिरहँदा सारा भिड चुपचाप रह्यो ।
Then the entire assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul tell of all the signs and wonders God had performed through them among the Gentiles.
13 तिनीहरूले बोल्न छोडेपछि, याकूबले जवाफ दिँदै भने, “भाइहरू हो, मेरा कुरा सुन्नुहोस् ।
When they had finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो नाउँको खातिर तिनीहरूबाटै एक जाति लिनलाई कसरी पहिले गैरयहूदीहरूलाई कृपादृष्टिकासाथ सहायता गर्नुभयो भनी सिमोनले बताएका छन् ।
Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
15 यससँग अगमवक्ताका वचनहरू सहमत छन्, किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ,
The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, just 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 this I will return and rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins and erect it again,
17 ताकि बाँकी रहेको मानिसहरू र सबै गैरयहूदीहरू लगायत मेरो नाउँद्वारा बोलाइएकाहरूले प्रभुलाई खोज्न सकून्।
so that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
All God's works are known to him from long ago. (aiōn g165)
19 त्यसकारण मेरो विचार यो छ कि परमेश्वरतिर फर्कने गैरयहूदीहरूलाई हामीले दुःख दिनुहुँदैन ।
Therefore my judgment is that we not create difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn to God,
20 तर हामीले तिनीहरूलाई यो लेख्छौँ कि तिनीहरू मूर्तिहरूको अशुद्धताबाट, व्यभिचारबाट र घाँटी अठ्याएर मारेको मासु र रगतबाट अलग रहून् ।
but that we write to them, telling them to abstain from things defiled by idols, from fornication, from what has been strangled, and from blood.
21 किनभने हरेक सहरमा मोशाको व्यवस्थाका कुराहरू हरेक सबाथमा पुस्तौंदेखि मानिसहरूले सभाघरहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र पढ्दै आएका छन् ।”
For from generations of old, Moses has had those who preach him in every city, because he is 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, together with the whole church, to send men chosen from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
23 तिनीहरूले यो लेखे, “एन्टिओखिया, सिरिया र किलिकियामा भएका गैरयहूदी भाइहरू, प्रेरितहरू, एल्डरहरू, भाइहरूलाई अभिवादन ।
and to send with them this letter they had written: “The apostles, elders, and brothers, to the Gentile brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.
24 हामीले त्यस्तो गर्ने आज्ञा नगरेका केही मानिसहरू हाम्रो बिचबाट तपाईंहरूकहाँ आएर तपाईंहरूको आत्मालाई दु: खित पार्ने खालका शिक्षाहरू दिएर तपाईंहरूलाई दुःख दिइरहेका छन् ।
Since we have heard that certain men, whom we did not authorize, have gone out from us and troubled you with their words, unsettling your minds by saying that you must be circumcised and keep the law,
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 come to one accord, to send you men chosen from among us, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 यी हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको खातिर आफ्नो जीवनलाई जोखिममा पारेका मानिसहरू हुन् ।
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 त्यसैले हामीले यहूदा र सिलासलाई पठाएका छौँ, जसले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही कुराहरू बताउनेछन् ।
Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things in their own words.
28 किनभने यी आवश्यक कुराहरूभन्दा बढि ठुलो भार तपाईंहरूमाथि नबोकाउन पवित्र आत्मा र हामीलाई असल लाग्यो ।
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no further burden than these essentials:
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 ।”
You must abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what has been strangled, and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well. Farewell.”
30 जब उनीहरू बिदा भएर एन्टिओखियामा आए । तिनीहरूलेभिडलाई एकसाथ भेला पारेपछि पत्र दिए ।
So when these men had been sent off, they went to Antioch, and after gathering the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31 जब तिनीहरूले यसलाई पढे, उत्साहको कारण तिनीहरू आनन्दित भए ।
When the people read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement.
32 यहूदा र सिलास पनि अगमवक्ताहरू भएकोले धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा भाइहरूलाई उत्साह दिए र तिनीहरूलाई बलियो पारे ।
Then Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words.
33 उनीहरूले त्यहाँ केही समय बिताइसकेपछि भाइहरूको बिचबाट उनीहरूलाई पठाउनेहरूकहाँ शान्तिसाथ पठाइयो ।
After spending some time there, they were sent off to the apostles in peace by the brothers.
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 ।
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching, along with many others, the good news 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 ।
After some days had gone by, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit our brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37 बारनाबासले मर्कूस भनिने यूहन्नालाई पनि तिनीहरूसँगै लैजान चाहन्थे ।
Now Barnabas wanted to bring 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 best not to bring this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them in their 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 disagreement, with the result that they parted from one another. Barnabas took Mark and sailed off to Cyprus,
40 तर पावलले सिलासलाई छाने । भाइहरूद्वारा प्रभुको अनुग्रहमा सुम्पिएपछि उनी त्यहाँबाट बिदा भए ।
but Paul chose Silas and departed, once he had been committed by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 र उनी मण्डलीहरूलाई बलियो पार्दै सिरिया र किलिकिया भएर गए ।
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
