प्रेरित 18
1 यी कुराहरूपछि पावल एथेन्स छोडेर कोरिन्थमा गए ।
AND after these transactions, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth;
2 त्यहाँ उनले इटालीबाट आएका अकिला नाउँ गरेका पोन्टस निवासी एक यहूदी र तिनकी पत्नी प्रिस्किलालाई भेटे । किनभने क्लाउडियसले यहूदीहरूलाई रोम छाड्न आदेश दिएका थिए; र पावल तिनीहरूकहाँ आए ।
and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately arrived from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had issued an order that all Jews should depart from Rome, ) he turned in to them.
3 पावल तिनीहरूसँगै बसे र काम गरे किनकि उनीहरूको पेसा मिल्दथ्यो । तिनीहरूले पाल बनाउँथे ।
And as he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and worked, (for by trade they were tent-makers: )
4 तब पावल हरेक सबाथ-दिनमा सभाघरमा गएर ग्रीक र यहूदी दुवै समुदायका मानिसहरूसँग बहस गर्न थाले ।
and he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both the Jews and the Greek proselytes.
5 तर जब सिलास र तिमोथी माकेडोनियाबाट तल आए, पावललाई पवित्र आत्माले येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा यहूदीहरूलाई बताउन लगाउनु भयो ।
And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul felt a strong impulse on his spirit, and forcibly testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 तर जब यहूदीहरूले पावलको विरोध गरे, तब आफ्नो कपडा टकटक्याउँदै पावलले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भने, “तिमीहरूको रगत तिमीहरूकै शिरमाथि परोस्; म निर्दोष छु । अबदेखि म अन्यजातिहरूकहाँ जानेछु ।”
But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles.
7 तब उनी त्यो ठाउँ छाडेर तीतस युस्तसको घरमा गए जसले परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्दथे । उनको घर सभाघरको छेउमा पर्दथ्यो ।
And departing thence, he came to the house of a person, called Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue.
8 सभाघरका अगुवा क्रिस्पस र तिनका सारा परिवारले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे । पावलका कुरा सुन्ने कोरिन्थका धेरै मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे र बप्तिस्मा लिए ।
But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
9 राति दर्शनमा प्रभुले पावललाई भन्नुभयो, “नडराऊ, तर बोल र चुप नलाग ।
Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace:
10 किनकि म तिमीसँग छु र तिमीलाई कसैले हानि गर्न सक्नेछैन किनकि यस सहरमा मेरा थुप्रै मानिसहरू छन् ।”
for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city.
11 त्यस ठाउँमा पावल एक वर्ष छ महिनासम्म बसे र तिनीहरूका बिचमा परमेश्वरको वचन सिकाए ।
And he sat down there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 तर जब गालियो अखैयाका शासक बने तब यहूदीहरू एक भई पावलको विरुद्धमा उठे र फैसला गर्न पावललाई न्याय आसनको सामु ल्याए ।
But when Gallio was the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
13 तिनीहरूले भने, “यस मानिसले व्यवस्थाको विपरित परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न लगाउँछ ।”
saying, This is the fellow that earnestly persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 तर जब पावलले बोल्नै लागेका थिए, गालियोले यहूदीहरूलाई भने, “तिमी यहूदीहरू; यदि यो कुनै गल्ति वा अपराधको विषय भएको भए यस विषयमा तिमीहरूसँग बोल्नु तर्कपूर्ण नै हुने थियो ।
Then Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews,
15 तर यी शब्दहरू र नाउँहरू त तिमीहरूका आफ्नै व्यवस्थासँग सम्बन्धित विषयमा भएकाले तिमीहरू आफैँ मिलाऊ । यी विषयहरूमा म न्याय गर्न चाहन्नँ ।”
If indeed this was now a matter of injustice, or wicked knavery, with reason I should hear you patiently; but if it be merely a controversy about the word, and names, and a law peculiar to yourselves, settle it yourselves: for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 तब गालियोले तिनीहरूलाई न्याय आसन छोडेर जाने आदेश दिए ।
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 तर तिनीहरू सबैले सभाघरका शासक सोस्थेनसलाई समातेर न्याय आसनको अगाडि नै पिटे । तर गालियोले तिनीहरूले गरेका कुराको वास्तै गरेनन् ।
Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Gallio paid no regard to any of these things.
18 धेरै दिन त्यहाँ बसेपछि पावलले भाइहरूलाई छोडे अनि अकिला र प्रिस्किलालाई साथमा लिएर जहाज चढी सिरियातिर अगि बढे । बन्दरगाह छोड्नुभन्दा पहिले किंक्रियामा पावलले आफ्नो कपाल खौरे किनकि उनले नाजरी भाकल गरेका थिए ।
Then Paul abode there yet many days, and taking leave of the disciples, he set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having cut off his hair at Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19 जब उनीहरू एफिससमा आइपुगे तब पावलले अकिला र प्रिस्किलालाई त्यहीँ छोडे । तर उनीचाहिँ सभाघरमा गए र यहूदीहरूसँग बहस गरे ।
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself went into the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.
20 तिनीहरूले पावललाई अझै केही समय बस्न अनुरोध गरे तर उनले इन्कार गरे ।
But when they were importunate with him to prolong his stay among them, he consented not;
21 तर तिनीहरूसँग बिदा लिँदै उनले भने, “यदि परमेश्वरको इच्छा भएमा म तपाईंहरूकहाँ फर्किआउनेछु ।” त्यसपछि उनी जहाज चढेर एफिससतर्फ लागे ।
but took his leave of them, saying, I must by any means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: but I mean to return to you again, if God so please. So he sailed from Ephesus.
22 कैसरियामा जहाजबाट उत्रेपछि पावल उक्लेर यरूशलेममा गए र त्यहाँको मण्डलीलाई अभिवादन गरे अनि एन्टिओखियातर्फ झरे ।
And landing at Cesarea, he went up, and having saluted the church at Jerusalem, he went down to Antioch.
23 त्यहाँ केही समय बिताएपछि पावल त्यहाँबाट फ्रिगिया र गलातिया क्षेत्रका सबै चेलाहरूलाई उत्साह दिँदै गए ।
And after making some stay, he departed, passing in regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
24 अब अपोलोस नाउँ गरेका एक जना यहूदी जो जन्मका आधारमा एलेक्जेन्ड्रियाका थिए, उनी पनि एफिससमा आए । उनी धर्मशास्त्रीय ज्ञानमा र बोल्नमा दक्ष थिए ।
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus.
25 अपोलोस प्रभुको वचनका बारेमा ज्ञान पाएका व्यक्ति थिए । आत्मामा जोशिलो हुँदै येशू ख्रीष्टको बारेमा ठिक कुराहरू बोल्थे र सिकाउँथे तर उनलाई यूहन्नाको बप्तिस्माको बारेमा मात्र ज्ञान थियो ।
He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John.
26 अपोलोसले सभाघरहरूमा बडो साहसका साथ बोल्न थाले । जब अकिला र प्रिस्किलाले उनको बारेमा सुने तब तिनीहरू उनको साथ लागे र उनलाई परमेश्वरको वचनको बारेमा अझै ठिकसँग बताइदिए ।
So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord.
27 जब उनले अखैया हुँदै जाने इच्छा गरे, भाइहरूले उनलाई त्यहाँ जान प्रोत्साहन दिए र अखैयाका चेलाहरूले उनलाई ग्रहण गरून् भनेर पत्र लेखे । त्यहाँ आइपुगेपछि उनले अनुग्रहद्वारा विश्वास गर्नेहरूलाई ठूलो मद्दत गरे ।
And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to confirm those who believed through grace.
28 धर्मशास्त्रद्वारा येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा सबैका सामु प्रमाणित गरेर देखाउन सक्ने अपोलोको शक्ति र सीप देखेर यहूदीहरू नाजवाफ भए ।
For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
