< प्रेरित 2 >
1 जब पेन्तिकोसको दिन आयो, तिनीहरू सबै जना एकै ठाउँमा थिए ।
SO when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with unanimity assembled together.
2 एक्कासि स्वर्गबाट जोडसँग शक्तिशाली हावाको झोक्का जस्तै आवाज आयो र तिनीहरू बसिरहेको पुरै घर भरियो ।
And there came suddenly from heaven a sound as it were of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 आगोका जिब्राहरू जस्ता तिनीहरूकहाँ देखा परे र भागभाग भएर तिनीहरू हरेकमाथि बसे ।
And there was an appearance to them of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them.
4 तिनीहरू सबै जना पवित्र आत्माले भरिए र आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएअनुसार अरू भाषाहरूमा बोल्न थाले ।
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
5 यरूशलेममा स्वर्गमुनि भएका हरेक जातिबाट आएका ईश्वरभक्त यहूदीहरू बसिरहेका थिए ।
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, men of piety, from every nation under heaven.
6 जब यो आवाज सुनियो मानिसहरूका भिड एकसाथ आए र अन्योलमा परे किनभने हरेकले तिनीहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै भाषामा बोलिरहेका सुने ।
And when this report spread, the multitude collected around them, and were overwhelmed with astonishment, because they heard them speaking every one in his own peculiar dialect.
7 तिनीहरू छक्क र चकित भए र तिनीहरूले भने, “साँच्चै, के यी बोलिरहनेहरू गालीलीहरू होइनन्?
And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 त्यसो भए किन तिनीहरूले हाम्रो आफ्नै भाषाहरूमा नै बोलिरहेका हामी हरेकले सुनिरहेका छौँ?
And how do we hear every man in our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up?
9 पार्थीहरू र मादीहरू र एलामीहरू र मेसोपोटामिया, यहूदिया र कापाडोकिया, पोन्टस र एसिया
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
10 फ्रिगिया र पाम्फिलिया, मिश्र र कुरेनी नजिकका लिबियाका भागहरूका बासिन्दाहरू, र रोमका आगन्तुकहरू,
and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
11 यहूदीहरू र यहूदी मत मान्नेहरू, क्रेट निवासी र अरबीहरू छौँ । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरका महान् कामहरूका बारेमा हाम्रै भाषामा बताइरहेका हामीले सुन्दैछौँ ।”
Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God.
12 तिनीहरू सबै जना चकित र जिल्ल परेर तिनीहरूले एकअर्कालाई भने, “यसको तात्पर्य के हो?”
And they were all amazed, and much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What can this mean?
13 तर अरूले चाहिँ गिज्याए र भने, “तिनीहरू नयाँ मद्यले टन्न भएका छन् ।”
But others scoffing said, These men are brimful of sweet wine.
14 तर पत्रुस एघार जनासँगै खडा भएर उच्च स्वरले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “यहूदिया र यरूशलेममा बस्ने सबै मानिसहरू हो, यो कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहा होस्; मेरो कुरा ध्यान दिएर सुन्नुहोस् ।
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them; Men of Judea, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words:
15 किनभने तपाईंहरूले ठान्नुभएजस्तो यी मानिसहरू मातेका छैनन्, कारण अहिले दिनको तेस्रो प्रहर मात्र भएको छ ।
for these men are not, as ye suppose, drunk, for it is only the third hour of the day.
16 तर अगमवक्ता योएलद्वारा यो कुरा बोलिएको छः
But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 ‘परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, “अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा यस्तो हुनेछ, म मेरो आत्मा सबै मानिसहरूमाथि खन्याउनेछु, तिमीहरूका छोराहरू र छोरीहरूले अगमवाणी बोल्नेछन्, र तिमीहरूका वृद्ध मानिसहरूले सपनाहरू देख्नेछन् ।
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour our of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 ती दिनहरूमा मेरा दास र दासीहरूमाथि म मेरो आत्मा खन्याउनेछु र तिनीहरूले अगमवाणी बोल्नेछन् ।
and upon my servants and my handmaidens in those days will I pour out of my spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 म माथि स्वर्गमा अचम्मका कुराहरू र तल पृथ्वीमा रगत, आगो, र धुवाँको मुस्लोका चिन्हहरू देखाउनेछु ।
and I will perform prodigies in the heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
20 परमप्रभुको महान् र असाधारण दिन आउनअगि सूर्य अँध्यारोमा र चन्द्रमा रगतमा परिणत हुनेछ ।
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord come.
21 यस्तो हुनेछ कि परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्ने हरेकले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Lord shall be saved.”
22 हे इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, यी वचनहरू सुन्नुहोस्: परमेश्वरले तपाईंहरूका बिचमा उहाँद्वारा गर्नु भएका शक्तिशाली कामहरू, आश्चर्यकर्महरू र चिन्हहरूद्वारा परमेश्वरले तपाईंहरूकहाँ साँचो प्रमाणित गर्नुभएका मानिस नासरतका येशू नै हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ ।
Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:
23 परमेश्वरको अठोट गरिएको योजना र पूर्वज्ञानले गर्दा, उहाँ सुम्पिइनुभयो, र तपाईं अधर्मी मानिसहरूको हातद्वारा क्रुसमा टाँगिनुभयो र मारिनुभयो ।
him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 उहाँलाई मृत्युका पीडाहरूबाट छुटाएर परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई जीवित पार्नुभयो किनभने उहाँ यसको अधीनमा रहिरहन सम्भव थिएन ।
whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.
25 किनभने दाऊदले उहाँको बारेमा भनेकाछन्, ‘परमप्रभुलाई मैले सधैँ मेरो मुहार अगाडि देखेँ । उहाँ मेरो दाहिने हात नजिक हुनुहुन्छ, यसकारण म नडगमगाउनु पर्दैन ।
For David speaketh concerning him, “I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken:
26 यसकारण मेरो हृदय आनन्दित थियो र मेरो जिब्रोले आनन्द मनायो । मेरो शरीरले पनि दृढतामा वास गर्नेछ ।
therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope,
27 किनभने तपाईंले मेरो प्राणलाई पातालमा त्याग्नुहुनेछैन न त तपाईंले तपाईंका पवित्रजनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछ । (Hadēs )
that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. (Hadēs )
28 तपाईंले मलाई जीवनका मार्गहरू प्रकट गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले आफ्नो मुहारले मलाई खुसीले भरिपूर्ण बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance.”
29 हे दाजुभाइहरू हो, म हाम्रा पुर्खा दाऊदका बारेमा दृढतासाथ बोल्न सक्छु: तिनी मरे र गाडिए र तिनको चिहान आजको दिनसम्म हामीसँग छ ।
Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day.
30 यसकारण तिनी एक अगमवक्ता थिए र परमेश्वरले तिनकै सन्तानहरूमध्येबाटै एक जनालाई तिनको सिंहसानमा बसाल्नुहुने थियो भनी उहाँले तिनीसँग शपथ खानुभएको कुरा तिनलाई थाहा थियो ।
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne;
31 तिनले यो कुरा पहिला नै देखे र ख्रीष्टको पुनरुथानको बारेमा यसरी बताए, ‘उहाँ नत पातालमा त्यागिनु भयो नत उहाँको शरीर नै कुहियो ।’ (Hadēs )
he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption. (Hadēs )
32 यी नै येशूलाई परमेश्वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो जसको हामी सबै जना साक्षी छौँ ।
This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
33 यसकारण उहाँ परमेश्वरको दाहिने हातपट्टि उठाइनुभयो र पिताबाट प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको पवित्र आत्मा पाएर, उहाँले यो खन्याउनुभएको छ जुन तपाईंहरू सुन्नु र देन्नु हुन्छ ।
He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear.
34 दाऊद आफैँ स्वर्ग चढेनन् तर तिनी भन्छन्, ‘परमप्रभुले मेरा प्रभुलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो दाहिने हातपट्टि बस,
For David is not ascended into the heavens: for he saith himself, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand,
35 जबसम्म म तिम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई तिम्रो पाउदान बनाउँदिन ।”’
until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet.”
36 यसकारण इस्राएलका सबै घरानाले यो निश्चयसाथ जानून कि यही येशू जसलाई तपाईंहरूले क्रुसमा टाँग्नुभयो, परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई प्रभु र ख्रीष्ट दुवै बनाउनु भयो ।
Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.
37 जब तिनीहरूले यो सुने, तिनीहरूको हृदय छिया-छिया भयो र तिनीहरूले पत्रुस र अरू बाँकी प्रेरितहरूलाई भने, “भाइहरू हो, हामी के गरौँ?”
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 अनि पत्रुसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “पश्चात्ताप गर र तिमीहरू हरेकले तिमीहरूका पाप क्षमाको निम्ति येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा बप्तिस्मा लेओ र तिमीहरूले पवित्र आत्माको वरदान प्राप्त गर्नेछौ ।
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 यो प्रतिज्ञा तिमीहरूका लागि, तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूका लागि र टाढा-टाढा भएका सबैका लागि, र परमेश्वरले बोलाउनुहुने सबै मानिसहरूका लागि हो ।”
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 अरू धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा तिनले गवाही दिए र तिनीहरूलाई आग्रह गरे । तिनले भने, “यो दुष्ट पुस्ताबाट तिमीहरूले आफैँलाई बचाओ ।”
And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this untoward generation.
41 तब तिनीहरूले तिनको वचन ग्रहण गरे र बप्तिस्मा लिए र झन्डै तिन हजार प्राणहरू त्यस दिन थपिए ।
They therefore who gladly received his discourse were baptised: and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.
42 तिनीहरू प्रेरितहरूको शिक्षा र सङ्गति, रोटी भाँच्ने कार्य र प्रार्थनामा लागिरहे ।
And they persevered stedfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, and in communion, and in breaking bread, and in prayers.
43 हरेक व्यक्तिमाथि डर छायो र प्रेरितहरूद्वारा धेरै अचम्मका कार्यहरू र चिन्हहरू भए ।
And on every soul there was an awe: and many miracles and signs were done by the apostles.
44 विश्वास गर्नेहरू सबै जना सँगसँगै बस्थे र तिनीहरूका सबै चिज साझा थिए ।
Now all who believed were together, and had all things common;
45 र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सम्पत्ति र स्वामित्वमा भएका कुराहरू बेचे र विश्वासीहरूको आवश्यकता अनुसार एकअर्कामा बाँडचुँड गरे ।
and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as every one had need.
46 यसरी तिनीहरू दिनहुँ एकै उद्देश्यसहित मन्दिरमा भेला हुन्थे र तिनीहरूले घरघरमा रोटी भाँच्थे र हृदयको नम्रता र आनन्दसाथ एकअर्कामा भोजन बाँडचुँड गर्थे ।
And daily continuing with one mind at the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with great joy and simplicity of heart,
47 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको महिमा गर्थे र सबै मानिसहरूमाझ शुभेच्छा थियो । प्रभुले उद्धार पाइरहेकाहरूलाई दिनदिनै तिनीहरूका माझमा थप्नुभयो ।
praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added the saved ones daily to the church.
