प्रेरित 18
1 यी कुराहरूपछि पावल एथेन्स छोडेर कोरिन्थमा गए ।
After these things Paul departed from Athens and 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 there a certain Jew, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who was lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because Claudius Cesar had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to them;
3 पावल तिनीहरूसँगै बसे र काम गरे किनकि उनीहरूको पेसा मिल्दथ्यो । तिनीहरूले पाल बनाउँथे ।
and as he was of the same trade, he staid and worked with them: for 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 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 came down from Macedonia, Paul was very urgent in spirit, 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 and blasphemed, he shook his garment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clear of it: from henceforth 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 ।
And departing thence, he went to the house of one named Justus, 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 on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing the word believed, and were baptized.
9 राति दर्शनमा प्रभुले पावललाई भन्नुभयो, “नडराऊ, तर बोल र चुप नलाग ।
And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "Fear not, but speak: and be not silent:
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 lay hands on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city."
11 त्यस ठाउँमा पावल एक वर्ष छ महिनासम्म बसे र तिनीहरूका बिचमा परमेश्वरको वचन सिकाए ।
And he staid 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 rose against Paul, and brought him to the seat of justice,
13 तिनीहरूले भने, “यस मानिसले व्यवस्थाको विपरित परमेश्वरको आराधना गर्न लगाउँछ ।”
saying, this fellow persuadeth 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 ।
And when Paul was going to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were indeed an act of injustice, or some wicked crime, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you.
15 तर यी शब्दहरू र नाउँहरू त तिमीहरूका आफ्नै व्यवस्थासँग सम्बन्धित विषयमा भएकाले तिमीहरू आफैँ मिलाऊ । यी विषयहरूमा म न्याय गर्न चाहन्नँ ।”
But if it be a question about words, and names, and your law, settle it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 तब गालियोले तिनीहरूलाई न्याय आसन छोडेर जाने आदेश दिए ।
And he ordered them away from the tribunal.
17 तर तिनीहरू सबैले सभाघरका शासक सोस्थेनसलाई समातेर न्याय आसनको अगाडि नै पिटे । तर गालियोले तिनीहरूले गरेका कुराको वास्तै गरेनन् ।
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him even before the tribunal: but Gallio did not concern himself about the matter.
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 after Paul had staid there yet a considerable time, he took leave of the brethren, and sailed from thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head 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 Esphesus, and left them there: but before his departure he himself went into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 तिनीहरूले पावललाई अझै केही समय बस्न अनुरोध गरे तर उनले इन्कार गरे ।
Though when they desired him to stay longer with them, he did not consent: but took his leave of them,
21 तर तिनीहरूसँग बिदा लिँदै उनले भने, “यदि परमेश्वरको इच्छा भएमा म तपाईंहरूकहाँ फर्किआउनेछु ।” त्यसपछि उनी जहाज चढेर एफिससतर्फ लागे ।
saying, I must by all means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. 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, went up to Jerusalem, and after he had saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 त्यहाँ केही समय बिताएपछि पावल त्यहाँबाट फ्रिगिया र गलातिया क्षेत्रका सबै चेलाहरूलाई उत्साह दिँदै गए ।
And when he had spent some time there, he departed, and went in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia strengthening 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 there came to Ephesus a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, and 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 ।
Who had been instructed in the way of our Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught clearly the things of the Lord, though 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 ।
And as he began to speak openly in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla heard him and took him home, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
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 as he was inclined to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples exhorting them to receive him: who when he arrived, was very helpful to those who had 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 disputed vehemently with the Jews in public, proving by the scriptures, that Jesus was the Christ.
