प्रेरित 18
1 यी कुराहरूपछि पावल एथेन्स छोडेर कोरिन्थमा गए ।
After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto 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, by name Aquila, of Pontus by birth, —lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be leaving Rome, he came unto them,
3 पावल तिनीहरूसँगै बसे र काम गरे किनकि उनीहरूको पेसा मिल्दथ्यो । तिनीहरूले पाल बनाउँथे ।
and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
4 तब पावल हरेक सबाथ-दिनमा सभाघरमा गएर ग्रीक र यहूदी दुवै समुदायका मानिसहरूसँग बहस गर्न थाले ।
And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading 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 ।
When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
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 began opposing and defaming, shaking out his garments, he said unto them—Your blood, be upon your own head! Pure, am, I: henceforth, unto the nations, will I go.
7 तब उनी त्यो ठाउँ छाडेर तीतस युस्तसको घरमा गए जसले परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्दथे । उनको घर सभाघरको छेउमा पर्दथ्यो ।
And, removing from thence, he came into the house of a certain man by name Titius Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was adjoining unto 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, were believing, and being immersed.
9 राति दर्शनमा प्रभुले पावललाई भन्नुभयो, “नडराऊ, तर बोल र चुप नलाग ।
And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul—Be not afraid! but be speaking, —and do not hold thy peace;
10 किनकि म तिमीसँग छु र तिमीलाई कसैले हानि गर्न सक्नेछैन किनकि यस सहरमा मेरा थुप्रै मानिसहरू छन् ।”
Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as I have much people in this city.
11 त्यस ठाउँमा पावल एक वर्ष छ महिनासम्म बसे र तिनीहरूका बिचमा परमेश्वरको वचन सिकाए ।
And he remained 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 proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
13 तिनीहरूले भने, “यस मानिसले व्यवस्थाको विपरित परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न लगाउँछ ।”
saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping 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 ।
But, as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews—If, indeed, it had been some wrong or wicked recklessness, O Jews, with reason, in that case, should I have been bearing with you.
15 तर यी शब्दहरू र नाउँहरू त तिमीहरूका आफ्नै व्यवस्थासँग सम्बन्धित विषयमा भएकाले तिमीहरू आफैँ मिलाऊ । यी विषयहरूमा म न्याय गर्न चाहन्नँ ।”
If, however, they are questions concerning discourse, and names, and law, that which ye have, ye shall see to it, yourselves; A judge of these things, I, am not disposed to be.
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 ।
But they all, laying hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, began to strike him before the judgment-seat; and, for none of these things, did Gallio care.
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 ।
Paul, however, still further abiding a good many days with the brethren, bidding them adieu, set sail for Syria; and, with him, Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae, 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 they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there, —but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.
20 तिनीहरूले पावललाई अझै केही समय बस्न अनुरोध गरे तर उनले इन्कार गरे ।
And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
21 तर तिनीहरूसँग बिदा लिँदै उनले भने, “यदि परमेश्वरको इच्छा भएमा म तपाईंहरूकहाँ फर्किआउनेछु ।” त्यसपछि उनी जहाज चढेर एफिससतर्फ लागे ।
but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
22 कैसरियामा जहाजबाट उत्रेपछि पावल उक्लेर यरूशलेममा गए र त्यहाँको मण्डलीलाई अभिवादन गरे अनि एन्टिओखियातर्फ झरे ।
and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto Antioch;
23 त्यहाँ केही समय बिताएपछि पावल त्यहाँबाट फ्रिगिया र गलातिया क्षेत्रका सबै चेलाहरूलाई उत्साह दिँदै गए ।
and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia 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 ।
But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
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 ।
The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, —properly knowing, only the immersion 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 ।
The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him 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 ।
And, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, —who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift;
28 धर्मशास्त्रद्वारा येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा सबैका सामु प्रमाणित गरेर देखाउन सक्ने अपोलोको शक्ति र सीप देखेर यहूदीहरू नाजवाफ भए ।
for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
