प्रेरित 16
1 पावल डर्बी र लुस्त्रामा पनि आए, त्यहाँ तिमोथी नाउँ गरेका एक जना चेला पनि थिए । उनी एउटी विश्वासी यहूदी स्त्रीका छोरा थिए भने उनका बाबुचाहिँ ग्रीक थिए ।
And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
2 लुस्त्रा र आइकोनियमका भाइहरूले तिमोथीका बारेमा असल कुरा भन्थे ।
A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 पावलले तिमोथीलाई आफूसँगै यात्रामा लान चाहन्थे, यसकारण उनले तिमोथीलाई आफूसँगै लगे र तिनको खतना गरे किनभने ती इलाकाहरूमा यहूदीहरू पनि थिए र उनका बाबु ग्रीक हुन् भनेर तिनीहरू सबैलाई थाहा थियो ।
This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 ती सहरहरूको यात्रा गर्दैजाँदा उनीहरूले मण्डलीहरूमा पालन गर्नुपर्ने निर्देशनहरू दिए जुन निर्देशनहरू प्रेरितहरूले र अगुवाहरूले यरूशलेममा लेखेर दिएका थिए ।
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been resolved on by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, that they might keep them.
5 यसरी मण्डलीहरू विश्वासमा बलियो हुँदै र दिन प्रतिदिन संख्यामा वृद्धि हुँदै गइरहे ।
Therefore, the churches were established in the faith, and they increased in number daily.
6 एसियामा वचन प्रचार गर्न उनीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्माले मनाही गर्नुभएको हुँदा, पावल र उनका साथीहरू फ्रिगिया र गलातियाका क्षेत्रहरू हुँदै अगि बढे ।
When they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
7 जब उनीहरू माइसियाको नजिक आइपुगे उनीहरूले बिथिनिया जान प्रयास गरे, तर येशूका आत्माले उनीहरूलाई रोक्नुभयो ।
and had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit did not permit them.
8 त्यसैले माइसियाहुँदै अगाडि बढ्दै जाँदा, उनीहरू त्रोआस सहरमा झरे ।
But having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 रातको समयमा पावलले एउटा दर्शन देखे जसमा माकेडोनियाका एकजना व्यक्ति उभिएर उनलाई यसो भनिरहेका थिए, “माकेडोनिया आउनुहोस् र हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् ।”
And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to Macedonia and help us.
10 पावलले त्यो दर्शन देखेपछि, परमेश्वरले हामीलाई तिनीहरूलाई सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्न बोलाउनुभएको हो भन्ने निष्कर्ष निकालेर हामीहरू तुरुन्तै माकेडोनियाको बाटोतर्फ लाग्यौँ ।
After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 त्यसकारण हामी त्रोआसबाट जहाजमा चढेर सोझै सामोथ्रेकको बाटो लाग्यौँ र अर्को दिन हामी नियापोलिस पुग्यौँ,
Therefore, setting sail from Troas, we came by a straight course to Samothracia, and, on the following day, to Neapolis,
12 त्यहाँबाट रोमी उपनिवेशको एकदमै महत्त्वपूर्ण जिल्लाको फिलिप्पी गयौँ जुनचाहिँ माकेडोनियाको एउटा सहर हो । हामी त्यस सहरमा धेरै दिनसम्म बस्यौँ ।
and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We remained in that city some days:
13 सबाथ-दिनमा हामी सहरको ढोकाबाट बाहिर नदी किनारमा पुग्यौँ जहाँ प्रार्थना गर्ने ठाउँ होला भन्ने हामीले ठान्यौँ । हामी बस्यौँ र जम्मा भएका स्त्रीहरूसँग कुरा गर्यौँ ।
and on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to the side of a river, where, as usual, was the house of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
14 त्यहाँ थिआटिरा सहरमा बसोबास गर्ने लिडिया नाउँ गरेकी एउटी स्त्री थिइन् जो वैजनी रङको वस्त्रको व्यापारी थिइन् । जसले परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्थिन् र हाम्रो कुरालाई ध्यान दिएर सुनिन् । पावलले भनेका कुरा तिनले ध्यानपूर्वक सुनून् भनेर परमप्रभुले तिनको हृदय खोलिदिनुभयो ।
And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.
15 तिनी र तिनका परिवार सबैजनालाई बप्तिस्मा दिएपछि तिनले हामीलाई यसो भन्दै आग्रह गरिन्, “यदि तपाईंहरूले मलाई प्रभुप्रति विश्वासयोग्य ठान्नुहुन्छ भने मेरो घरमा आएर बस्नुहोस् ।” भनी हामीलाई मनाइन् ।
And when she and her household had been immersed, she besought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.
16 हामीहरू प्रार्थना गर्ने स्थानतर्फ जाँदै गर्दा, जोखना हेर्ने एउटी जवान स्त्रीसँग हाम्रो सामना भयो । त्यसले जोखना हेरेर आफ्ना मालिकहरूका निम्ति धेरै धन कमाइदिन्थी ।
And it came to pass, that as we were going to the house of prayer, there met us a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of Python, who brought much gain to her masters, by giving responses.
17 त्यो स्त्री यसो भन्दै पावल र हाम्रो पछि लागी, “यी मानिसहरू सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका सेवकहरू हुन् । यिनीहरूले तपाईंहरूलाई मुक्तिको बाटो घोषणा गर्छन् ।”
She followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most High God, who show us the way of salvation.
18 त्यसले धेरै दिनसम्म त्यसो गरिरही । तर त्यसबाट धेरै झिजो मानेर पावलले पछाडितिर फर्केर त्यो आत्मालाई भने, “येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा म तँलाई यसबाट निस्केर जाने आज्ञा दिन्छु ।” र त्यो तुरुन्तै निस्केर गयो ।
And this she continued to do for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 जब त्यस स्त्रीका मालिकहरूले आफ्नो कमाइको आशा गुम्नेभयो भन्ने थाहा पाए, तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई समातेर घिसार्दै बजारमा अधिकारीहरूका अगि लगे ।
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market to the rulers.
20 तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई न्यायाधीशहरूकहाँ ल्याएर भने, “यिनीहरू यहूदीहरू हुन् र हाम्रो सहरमा एकदमै समस्या खडा गरिरहेका छन् ।
And having brought them to the magistrates, they said: These men, who are Jews, do greatly trouble our city;
21 यिनीहरूले कानुन विपरित शिक्षाहरू सिकाइरहेका छन्, जुन हामी रोमीहरूका लागि ग्रहण गर्न वा पालन गर्न योग्यका छैनन् ।”
and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans, to receive or to observe.
22 त्यसपछि मानिसहरूको भिड पावल र सिलास माथि खनिए; अनि न्यायाधीशहरूले उनीहरूको कपडा च्यातिदिए र उनीहरूलाई लहुराले हिर्काउने आदेश दिए ।
And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates stripped off their clothes, and gave command to beat them with rods.
23 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई धेरै पिटेपछि तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई झ्यालखानामा हालिदिए र उनीहरूमाथि कडा निगरानी राख्न झ्यालखानाका हाकिमलाई आदेश दिए ।
And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, and charged the jailer to keep them securely.
24 आदेश पाउने बित्तिकै झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले उनीहरूलाई भित्री कोठामा थुने र उनीहरूका खुट्टाहरू ठिँगुरामा हालेर बाँधे ।
And having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 मध्यरातमा पावल र सिलास परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गर्दै र भजन गाउँदै थिए र अरू कैदीहरूले पनि त्यो कुराहरू सुनिरहेका थिए ।
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung a hymn to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 अचानक त्यहाँ एउटा ठुलो भूकम्प गयो जसले गर्दा झ्यालखानाका जगहरू हल्लिए । तुरन्तै झ्यालखानाका सबै ढोकाहरू खोलिए अनि सबैका साङ्लाहरू आफैँ खोलिए ।
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bonds were loosed.
27 झ्यालखानाका हाकिम आफ्नो निद्राबाट ब्युँझिए र झ्यालखानाका सबै ढोकाहरू खुल्ला देखे । तब सबै कैदीहरू भागिसके भन्ने ठानेर उनले आफ्नो तरवार निकालेर आफूलाई मार्नै लागेका थिए ।
And the jailer, being aroused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
28 तर पावलले चर्को सोरले कराएर भने, “आफूलाई हानि नगर्नुहोस् किनकि हामी सबैजना यहीँ छौँ ।”
But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying: Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
29 झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले बत्ती बाल्न लगाए र दौडेर भित्र पसे अनि डराउँदै पावल र सिलासको सामु भुइँमा लम्पसार परे ।
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas;
30 अनि उनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाले र भने, “हजुर, उद्धार पाउनका निम्ति मैले के गर्नुपर्छ?”
and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 उनीहरूले भने, “प्रभु येशूमा विश्वास गर्नुहोस् अनि तपाईंले उद्धार पाउनुहुने छ, तपाईं र तपाईंको परिवारले ।”
They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.
32 उनीहरूले प्रभुको वचन तिनलाई र तिनका घर-परिवारका सबैलाई सुनाए ।
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.
33 तब रातको त्यही घडी झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले उनीहरूलाई निकालेर लगे अनि उनीहरूका घाउचोटहरू सफा गरिदिए र झ्यालखानाका हाकिम र उनका सबै घरानालाई तुरुन्तै बप्तिस्मा दिइयो ।
And he took them at that hour of the night, and washed the blood from their stripes; and he was immersed, himself and all his, immediately.
34 उनले पावल र सिलासलाई आफ्नो घरमा लिएर गए र तिनीहरूलाई खाना खुवाए । उनी उनका सबै घराना निकै रमाए किनभने उनीहरू सबैले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरेका थिए ।
And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.
35 भोलिपल्ट बिहान न्यायाधीशहरूले झ्यालखानाका सिपाहीहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सन्देश पठाए, “ती मानिसहरूलाई छाडिदेओ ।”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: Release those men.
36 यसकारण झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले पावललाई भने, “न्यायाधीशहरूले तपाईंहरूलाई छाडिदिनू भनेर आदेश दिएका छन्, त्यसैले तपाईंहरू बाहिर आउनुहोस् र शान्तिसँग जानुहोस् ।”
And the jailer told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you. Now, therefore, come out, and go in peace.
37 तर पावलले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “हामी निर्दोष रोमी नागरिक भए तापनि तिनीहरूले हामीलाई सार्वजनिक स्थलमा पिटेका छन् र हामीलाई झ्यालखानामा हालेका छन्; र अहिले हामीलाई सुटुक्क पठाउन खोज्दैछन्? वास्तवमा त्यसो होइन, तिनीहरू आफैँ आएर र हामीलाई छुटाएर लैजाउन् ।”
But Paul said to them: Having publicly scourged us uncondemned, us who are Romans, they threw us into prison: and do they now put us out secretly? No, verily: but let them come and lead us out.
38 तब झ्यालखानाका सिपाहीहरूले गएर न्यायाधीशहरूलाई यी कुरा सुनाए; अनि तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलास रोमी हुन् भन्ने थाहा पाएपछि न्यायाधीशहरू डराए ।
And the lictors told these words to the magistrates: and they were alarmed when they heard that they were Romans;
39 न्यायाधीशहरू आफैँ आएर बिन्ति गरे र पावल र सिलासलाई झ्यालखानाबाट बाहिर निकाले अनि सहर छाडेर जान आग्रह गरे ।
and they came, and entreated them, and led them out, and requested them to depart from the city.
40 अनि पावल र सिलास झ्यालखानाबाट निस्केर लिडियाको घरमा गए । जब पावल र सिलासले दाजुभाइहरूलाई देखे, उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई प्रोत्साहन दिए र त्यस सहरबाट आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
