< प्रेरित 2 >
1 जब पेन्तिकोसको दिन आयो, तिनीहरू सबै जना एकै ठाउँमा थिए ।
And, when the day of pentecost was filling up [the number of days] they were all together with one intent; —
2 एक्कासि स्वर्गबाट जोडसँग शक्तिशाली हावाको झोक्का जस्तै आवाज आयो र तिनीहरू बसिरहेको पुरै घर भरियो ।
When there came suddenly out of heaven a sound, just as of a mighty rushing wind, —and it filled all the house where they were sitting;
3 आगोका जिब्राहरू जस्ता तिनीहरूकहाँ देखा परे र भागभाग भएर तिनीहरू हरेकमाथि बसे ।
And there appeared unto them—parting asunder—tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them;
4 तिनीहरू सबै जना पवित्र आत्माले भरिए र आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएअनुसार अरू भाषाहरूमा बोल्न थाले ।
And they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.
5 यरूशलेममा स्वर्गमुनि भएका हरेक जातिबाट आएका ईश्वरभक्त यहूदीहरू बसिरहेका थिए ।
Now there were in Jerusalem sojourning Jews, reverent men from every nation who were under heaven;
6 जब यो आवाज सुनियो मानिसहरूका भिड एकसाथ आए र अन्योलमा परे किनभने हरेकले तिनीहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै भाषामा बोलिरहेका सुने ।
And this sound occurring the throng came together and was thrown into confusion, because each one severally heard in his own language them who were speaking;
7 तिनीहरू छक्क र चकित भए र तिनीहरूले भने, “साँच्चै, के यी बोलिरहनेहरू गालीलीहरू होइनन्?
Yea they were beside themselves and did marvel, saying—Lo! are not all these who are speaking Galilaeans?
8 त्यसो भए किन तिनीहरूले हाम्रो आफ्नै भाषाहरूमा नै बोलिरहेका हामी हरेकले सुनिरहेका छौँ?
How then do, we, hear each one in our own language in which we were born?
9 पार्थीहरू र मादीहरू र एलामीहरू र मेसोपोटामिया, यहूदिया र कापाडोकिया, पोन्टस र एसिया
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judaea also and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 फ्रिगिया र पाम्फिलिया, मिश्र र कुरेनी नजिकका लिबियाका भागहरूका बासिन्दाहरू, र रोमका आगन्तुकहरू,
Phrygia also and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of the Libya that is towards Cyrene, and the sojourning 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 do hear them speaking in our own tongues the magnificent things of God.
12 तिनीहरू सबै जना चकित र जिल्ल परेर तिनीहरूले एकअर्कालाई भने, “यसको तात्पर्य के हो?”
But they were all beside themselves and were utterly at a loss, saying one to another—What doth this please to be?
13 तर अरूले चाहिँ गिज्याए र भने, “तिनीहरू नयाँ मद्यले टन्न भएका छन् ।”
While, others, in mockery were saying—With sweet wine, are they drunken!
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, taking his stand, Peter with the eleven lifted up his voice, and sounded out unto them—Ye men of Judaea, and all ye who are sojourning in Jerusalem! Let, this, unto you be known, and give ear unto my declarations; —
15 किनभने तपाईंहरूले ठान्नुभएजस्तो यी मानिसहरू मातेका छैनन्, कारण अहिले दिनको तेस्रो प्रहर मात्र भएको छ ।
For not, as, ye, suppose, are these men drunken, for it is the third hour of the day; —
16 तर अगमवक्ता योएलद्वारा यो कुरा बोलिएको छः
But this is that which hath been spoken through 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 be, in the last days saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and, your young men, visions shall see and, your elders, in dreams shall dream, —
18 ती दिनहरूमा मेरा दास र दासीहरूमाथि म मेरो आत्मा खन्याउनेछु र तिनीहरूले अगमवाणी बोल्नेछन् ।
And, even upon my men-servants and upon my maid-servants 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 set forth wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon 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 coming of the day of the Lord, the great and manifest [day];
21 यस्तो हुनेछ कि परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्ने हरेकले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
And it shall be—Whosoever shall call upon the name of 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 ।
Ye men of Israel! hear these words: —Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know,
23 परमेश्वरको अठोट गरिएको योजना र पूर्वज्ञानले गर्दा, उहाँ सुम्पिइनुभयो, र तपाईं अधर्मी मानिसहरूको हातद्वारा क्रुसमा टाँगिनुभयो र मारिनुभयो ।
The same, by the marked out counsel and foreknowledge of God given up, through the hands of lawless men, suspending, ye slew,
24 उहाँलाई मृत्युका पीडाहरूबाट छुटाएर परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई जीवित पार्नुभयो किनभने उहाँ यसको अधीनमा रहिरहन सम्भव थिएन ।
Whom, God, raised up, loosing the pangs of death, inasmuch as it was, not possible, for him to continue held fast by it.
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, saith concerning him—I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is, on my right hand, that I may not be shaken;
26 यसकारण मेरो हृदय आनन्दित थियो र मेरो जिब्रोले आनन्द मनायो । मेरो शरीरले पनि दृढतामा वास गर्नेछ ।
For this reason, was my heart made glad and my tongue exulted, —ye further, even my flesh, shall encamp on hope:
27 किनभने तपाईंले मेरो प्राणलाई पातालमा त्याग्नुहुनेछैन न त तपाईंले तपाईंका पवित्रजनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछ । (Hadēs )
Because thou wilt not abandon my soul unto hades, neither wilt thou give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption; (Hadēs )
28 तपाईंले मलाई जीवनका मार्गहरू प्रकट गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले आफ्नो मुहारले मलाई खुसीले भरिपूर्ण बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
Thou madest known unto me paths of life, thou wilt make me full of gladness with 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 ।
Brethren! it is, allowable, to say with freedom of speech unto you, concerning the patriarch David, —that he both died and was buried, and, his tomb, is among us until 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 then, a prophet, and knowing that, with an oath, God had sworn unto him, of the fruit of his loins, to seat on 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 )
With foresight, spake he concerning the resurrection of the Christ—that neither was he abandoned unto hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs )
32 यी नै येशूलाई परमेश्वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो जसको हामी सबै जना साक्षी छौँ ।
The same Jesus, hath God raised up, whereof, all we, 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 ।
By the right hand of God, therefore, having been exalted, also, the promise of the Holy Spirit, having received from the Father, He hath poured out this which, yourselves, do see and hear.
34 दाऊद आफैँ स्वर्ग चढेनन् तर तिनी भन्छन्, ‘परमप्रभुले मेरा प्रभुलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो दाहिने हातपट्टि बस,
For, David, hath not ascended into the heavens; but he saith, himself, —Said the Lord unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
35 जबसम्म म तिम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई तिम्रो पाउदान बनाउँदिन ।”’
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 यसकारण इस्राएलका सबै घरानाले यो निश्चयसाथ जानून कि यही येशू जसलाई तपाईंहरूले क्रुसमा टाँग्नुभयो, परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई प्रभु र ख्रीष्ट दुवै बनाउनु भयो ।
Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know: that, both Lord and Christ, hath God made him, even the same 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?”
And, when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles—What are we to do, brethren?
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 ।
And Peter [said] unto them—Repent ye, and let each one of you be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, into the remission of your sins, —and ye shall receive the free-gift of the Holy Spirit;
39 यो प्रतिज्ञा तिमीहरूका लागि, तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूका लागि र टाढा-टाढा भएका सबैका लागि, र परमेश्वरले बोलाउनुहुने सबै मानिसहरूका लागि हो ।”
For, unto you, is the promise, and unto your children, —and unto all them who are afar off: as many soever as the Lord our God shall call unto him.
40 अरू धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा तिनले गवाही दिए र तिनीहरूलाई आग्रह गरे । तिनले भने, “यो दुष्ट पुस्ताबाट तिमीहरूले आफैँलाई बचाओ ।”
And, with many different words, bare he frail witness, and went on exhorting them saying—Be saved from this perverse generation!
41 तब तिनीहरूले तिनको वचन ग्रहण गरे र बप्तिस्मा लिए र झन्डै तिन हजार प्राणहरू त्यस दिन थपिए ।
They, therefore, who welcomed his word, were immersed; and there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls.
42 तिनीहरू प्रेरितहरूको शिक्षा र सङ्गति, रोटी भाँच्ने कार्य र प्रार्थनामा लागिरहे ।
And they went on to give constant attention—unto the teaching of the apostles, and unto the fellowship, unto the breaking of bread, and unto the prayers.
43 हरेक व्यक्तिमाथि डर छायो र प्रेरितहरूद्वारा धेरै अचम्मका कार्यहरू र चिन्हहरू भए ।
And there came on every soul, fear, and, many wonders and signs, through means of the apostles, were coming to pass.
44 विश्वास गर्नेहरू सबै जना सँगसँगै बस्थे र तिनीहरूका सबै चिज साझा थिए ।
And, all who believed, with one accord, began to hold all things common;
45 र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सम्पत्ति र स्वामित्वमा भएका कुराहरू बेचे र विश्वासीहरूको आवश्यकता अनुसार एकअर्कामा बाँडचुँड गरे ।
and, their possessions and goods, were they selling and distributing them unto all, in so far as anyone 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 giving attendance with one intent in the temple and, at home, breaking bread, they were partaking of food with exultation and singleness 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, was adding them who were being saved, daily, together.
