प्रेरित 18
1 यी कुराहरूपछि पावल एथेन्स छोडेर कोरिन्थमा गए ।
After this Paul left Athens and went 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 ।
Here he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife, Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome.
3 पावल तिनीहरूसँगै बसे र काम गरे किनकि उनीहरूको पेसा मिल्दथ्यो । तिनीहरूले पाल बनाउँथे ।
Paul came to them, and because he was of the same trade with them, he lodged with them, and worked with them - for by trade they were tentmakers.
4 तब पावल हरेक सबाथ-दिनमा सभाघरमा गएर ग्रीक र यहूदी दुवै समुदायका मानिसहरूसँग बहस गर्न थाले ।
Every Sabbath he used to preach in the synagogue, and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
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 arrived from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed in his message, earnestly testifying 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 opposed him and abused him, he shook out his garments in protest, and said. "Your blood be upon your own hands. I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
7 तब उनी त्यो ठाउँ छाडेर तीतस युस्तसको घरमा गए जसले परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्दथे । उनको घर सभाघरको छेउमा पर्दथ्यो ।
So he left the place, and went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.
8 सभाघरका अगुवा क्रिस्पस र तिनका सारा परिवारले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे । पावलका कुरा सुन्ने कोरिन्थका धेरै मानिसहरूले विश्वास गरे र बप्तिस्मा लिए ।
And Crispus, the warden of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his household; and many of the Corinthians from time to time listened, believed, and were baptized.
9 राति दर्शनमा प्रभुले पावललाई भन्नुभयो, “नडराऊ, तर बोल र चुप नलाग ।
And the Lord said to Paul in a vision, by night. "Have no fear; go on speaking, and do not keep silent;
10 किनकि म तिमीसँग छु र तिमीलाई कसैले हानि गर्न सक्नेछैन किनकि यस सहरमा मेरा थुप्रै मानिसहरू छन् ।”
"for I am with you, and no one shall set upon you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."
11 त्यस ठाउँमा पावल एक वर्ष छ महिनासम्म बसे र तिनीहरूका बिचमा परमेश्वरको वचन सिकाए ।
So he lived there a year and six months and continued to teach 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 proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him before the tribunal.
13 तिनीहरूले भने, “यस मानिसले व्यवस्थाको विपरित परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न लगाउँछ ।”
"This fellow," they said, "is persuading men to offer unlawful worship to God."
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 ।
Paul was about to open his mouth, when Gallio said to the Jews. "If it had been some misdemeanor or wicked villainy, it would have been within reason for me to listen to you Jews;
15 तर यी शब्दहरू र नाउँहरू त तिमीहरूका आफ्नै व्यवस्थासँग सम्बन्धित विषयमा भएकाले तिमीहरू आफैँ मिलाऊ । यी विषयहरूमा म न्याय गर्न चाहन्नँ ।”
but as these are merely questions about words and names and your own law, you yourselves must see to it. I am not willing to be a judge of these matters."
16 तब गालियोले तिनीहरूलाई न्याय आसन छोडेर जाने आदेश दिए ।
And he drove them from the tribunal.
17 तर तिनीहरू सबैले सभाघरका शासक सोस्थेनसलाई समातेर न्याय आसनको अगाडि नै पिटे । तर गालियोले तिनीहरूले गरेका कुराको वास्तै गरेनन् ।
Then they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the warden of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal; but Gallio took no notice.
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 ।
And Paul after remaining in Corinth some time longer, took leave of the brothers, and sailed away to Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. As Paul was under a vow, he had his head shaved at Cenchrea.
19 जब उनीहरू एफिससमा आइपुगे तब पावलले अकिला र प्रिस्किलालाई त्यहीँ छोडे । तर उनीचाहिँ सभाघरमा गए र यहूदीहरूसँग बहस गरे ।
When they came to Ephesus he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 तिनीहरूले पावललाई अझै केही समय बस्न अनुरोध गरे तर उनले इन्कार गरे ।
When they begged him to stay longer, he would not consent,
21 तर तिनीहरूसँग बिदा लिँदै उनले भने, “यदि परमेश्वरको इच्छा भएमा म तपाईंहरूकहाँ फर्किआउनेछु ।” त्यसपछि उनी जहाज चढेर एफिससतर्फ लागे ।
but said, as he took leave of them, "I will return again to you, if God will."
22 कैसरियामा जहाजबाट उत्रेपछि पावल उक्लेर यरूशलेममा गए र त्यहाँको मण्डलीलाई अभिवादन गरे अनि एन्टिओखियातर्फ झरे ।
Then, setting sail from Ephesus, he landed at Caesarea; he went up to Jerusalem and saluted the church, and came down to Antioch.
23 त्यहाँ केही समय बिताएपछि पावल त्यहाँबाट फ्रिगिया र गलातिया क्षेत्रका सबै चेलाहरूलाई उत्साह दिँदै गए ।
After spending some time there, he set out and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, and strengthened 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, a native of Alexandria, a learned man and mighty in the Scriptures, came 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 had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and being full of zeal, he used to speak and to teach accurately the facts about Jesus, although he knew 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 ।
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him they took him home and explained to him more accurately the way of God.
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 ।
When he wished to cross over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples in Corinth to receive him. On his arrival he mightily helped those who through grace had believed,
28 धर्मशास्त्रद्वारा येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा सबैका सामु प्रमाणित गरेर देखाउन सक्ने अपोलोको शक्ति र सीप देखेर यहूदीहरू नाजवाफ भए ।
for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
