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 ।
He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
2 लुस्त्रा र आइकोनियमका भाइहरूले तिमोथीका बारेमा असल कुरा भन्थे ।
The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
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 ।
Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, 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 ।
As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 यसरी मण्डलीहरू विश्वासमा बलियो हुँदै र दिन प्रतिदिन संख्यामा वृद्धि हुँदै गइरहे ।
So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and 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 through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 जब उनीहरू माइसियाको नजिक आइपुगे उनीहरूले बिथिनिया जान प्रयास गरे, तर येशूका आत्माले उनीहरूलाई रोक्नुभयो ।
When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
8 त्यसैले माइसियाहुँदै अगाडि बढ्दै जाँदा, उनीहरू त्रोआस सहरमा झरे ।
Passing 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 ।”
A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into 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 ।
When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
11 त्यसकारण हामी त्रोआसबाट जहाजमा चढेर सोझै सामोथ्रेकको बाटो लाग्यौँ र अर्को दिन हामी नियापोलिस पुग्यौँ,
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 त्यहाँबाट रोमी उपनिवेशको एकदमै महत्त्वपूर्ण जिल्लाको फिलिप्पी गयौँ जुनचाहिँ माकेडोनियाको एउटा सहर हो । हामी त्यस सहरमा धेरै दिनसम्म बस्यौँ ।
and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
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 ।
On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place 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 ।
A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which 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 ।
When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded 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 ।
As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
17 त्यो स्त्री यसो भन्दै पावल र हाम्रो पछि लागी, “यी मानिसहरू सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका सेवकहरू हुन् । यिनीहरूले तपाईंहरूलाई मुक्तिको बाटो घोषणा गर्छन् ।”
Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a 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 ।
She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” 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 ।
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20 तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई न्यायाधीशहरूकहाँ ल्याएर भने, “यिनीहरू यहूदीहरू हुन् र हाम्रो सहरमा एकदमै समस्या खडा गरिरहेका छन् ।
When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
21 यिनीहरूले कानुन विपरित शिक्षाहरू सिकाइरहेका छन्, जुन हामी रोमीहरूका लागि ग्रहण गर्न वा पालन गर्न योग्यका छैनन् ।”
and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
22 त्यसपछि मानिसहरूको भिड पावल र सिलास माथि खनिए; अनि न्यायाधीशहरूले उनीहरूको कपडा च्यातिदिए र उनीहरूलाई लहुराले हिर्काउने आदेश दिए ।
The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई धेरै पिटेपछि तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई झ्यालखानामा हालिदिए र उनीहरूमाथि कडा निगरानी राख्न झ्यालखानाका हाकिमलाई आदेश दिए ।
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
24 आदेश पाउने बित्तिकै झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले उनीहरूलाई भित्री कोठामा थुने र उनीहरूका खुट्टाहरू ठिँगुरामा हालेर बाँधे ।
Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 मध्यरातमा पावल र सिलास परमेश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गर्दै र भजन गाउँदै थिए र अरू कैदीहरूले पनि त्यो कुराहरू सुनिरहेका थिए ।
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns 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 ।
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
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 ।
The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 तर पावलले चर्को सोरले कराएर भने, “आफूलाई हानि नगर्नुहोस् किनकि हामी सबैजना यहीँ छौँ ।”
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
29 झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले बत्ती बाल्न लगाए र दौडेर भित्र पसे अनि डराउँदै पावल र सिलासको सामु भुइँमा लम्पसार परे ।
He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30 अनि उनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाले र भने, “हजुर, उद्धार पाउनका निम्ति मैले के गर्नुपर्छ?”
brought them out, and 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 said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 उनीहरूले प्रभुको वचन तिनलाई र तिनका घर-परिवारका सबैलाई सुनाए ।
They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who 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 ।
He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
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 ।
He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
35 भोलिपल्ट बिहान न्यायाधीशहरूले झ्यालखानाका सिपाहीहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सन्देश पठाए, “ती मानिसहरूलाई छाडिदेओ ।”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
36 यसकारण झ्यालखानाका हाकिमले पावललाई भने, “न्यायाधीशहरूले तपाईंहरूलाई छाडिदिनू भनेर आदेश दिएका छन्, त्यसैले तपाईंहरू बाहिर आउनुहोस् र शान्तिसँग जानुहोस् ।”
The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; 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, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
38 तब झ्यालखानाका सिपाहीहरूले गएर न्यायाधीशहरूलाई यी कुरा सुनाए; अनि तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलास रोमी हुन् भन्ने थाहा पाएपछि न्यायाधीशहरू डराए ।
The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid 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 begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked 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 ।
They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
