प्रेरित 2
1 जब पेन्तिकोसको दिन आयो, तिनीहरू सबै जना एकै ठाउँमा थिए ।
On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
2 एक्कासि स्वर्गबाट जोडसँग शक्तिशाली हावाको झोक्का जस्तै आवाज आयो र तिनीहरू बसिरहेको पुरै घर भरियो ।
Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
3 आगोका जिब्राहरू जस्ता तिनीहरूकहाँ देखा परे र भागभाग भएर तिनीहरू हरेकमाथि बसे ।
Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
4 तिनीहरू सबै जना पवित्र आत्माले भरिए र आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभएअनुसार अरू भाषाहरूमा बोल्न थाले ।
Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
5 यरूशलेममा स्वर्गमुनि भएका हरेक जातिबाट आएका ईश्वरभक्त यहूदीहरू बसिरहेका थिए ।
At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
6 जब यो आवाज सुनियो मानिसहरूका भिड एकसाथ आए र अन्योलमा परे किनभने हरेकले तिनीहरू तिनीहरूका आफ्नै भाषामा बोलिरहेका सुने ।
When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
7 तिनीहरू छक्क र चकित भए र तिनीहरूले भने, “साँच्चै, के यी बोलिरहनेहरू गालीलीहरू होइनन्?
They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
8 त्यसो भए किन तिनीहरूले हाम्रो आफ्नै भाषाहरूमा नै बोलिरहेका हामी हरेकले सुनिरहेका छौँ?
([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
9 पार्थीहरू र मादीहरू र एलामीहरू र मेसोपोटामिया, यहूदिया र कापाडोकिया, पोन्टस र एसिया
[Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
10 फ्रिगिया र पाम्फिलिया, मिश्र र कुरेनी नजिकका लिबियाका भागहरूका बासिन्दाहरू, र रोमका आगन्तुकहरू,
There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
11 यहूदीहरू र यहूदी मत मान्नेहरू, क्रेट निवासी र अरबीहरू छौँ । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरका महान् कामहरूका बारेमा हाम्रै भाषामा बताइरहेका हामीले सुन्दैछौँ ।”
[They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
12 तिनीहरू सबै जना चकित र जिल्ल परेर तिनीहरूले एकअर्कालाई भने, “यसको तात्पर्य के हो?”
All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 तर अरूले चाहिँ गिज्याए र भने, “तिनीहरू नयाँ मद्यले टन्न भएका छन् ।”
But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
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 ।
So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
15 किनभने तपाईंहरूले ठान्नुभएजस्तो यी मानिसहरू मातेका छैनन्, कारण अहिले दिनको तेस्रो प्रहर मात्र भएको छ ।
[Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
16 तर अगमवक्ता योएलद्वारा यो कुरा बोलिएको छः
Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
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 ।
‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
18 ती दिनहरूमा मेरा दास र दासीहरूमाथि म मेरो आत्मा खन्याउनेछु र तिनीहरूले अगमवाणी बोल्नेछन् ।
During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
19 म माथि स्वर्गमा अचम्मका कुराहरू र तल पृथ्वीमा रगत, आगो, र धुवाँको मुस्लोका चिन्हहरू देखाउनेछु ।
I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
20 परमप्रभुको महान् र असाधारण दिन आउनअगि सूर्य अँध्यारोमा र चन्द्रमा रगतमा परिणत हुनेछ ।
[In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
21 यस्तो हुनेछ कि परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्ने हरेकले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
[Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
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 ।
[Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
23 परमेश्वरको अठोट गरिएको योजना र पूर्वज्ञानले गर्दा, उहाँ सुम्पिइनुभयो, र तपाईं अधर्मी मानिसहरूको हातद्वारा क्रुसमा टाँगिनुभयो र मारिनुभयो ।
[Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
24 उहाँलाई मृत्युका पीडाहरूबाट छुटाएर परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई जीवित पार्नुभयो किनभने उहाँ यसको अधीनमा रहिरहन सम्भव थिएन ।
He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
25 किनभने दाऊदले उहाँको बारेमा भनेकाछन्, ‘परमप्रभुलाई मैले सधैँ मेरो मुहार अगाडि देखेँ । उहाँ मेरो दाहिने हात नजिक हुनुहुन्छ, यसकारण म नडगमगाउनु पर्दैन ।
“[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
26 यसकारण मेरो हृदय आनन्दित थियो र मेरो जिब्रोले आनन्द मनायो । मेरो शरीरले पनि दृढतामा वास गर्नेछ ।
Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
27 किनभने तपाईंले मेरो प्राणलाई पातालमा त्याग्नुहुनेछैन न त तपाईंले तपाईंका पवित्रजनलाई कुहिन दिनुहुनेछ । (Hadēs g86)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
28 तपाईंले मलाई जीवनका मार्गहरू प्रकट गर्नुभयो । तपाईंले आफ्नो मुहारले मलाई खुसीले भरिपूर्ण बनाउनुहुनेछ ।
You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
29 हे दाजुभाइहरू हो, म हाम्रा पुर्खा दाऊदका बारेमा दृढतासाथ बोल्न सक्छु: तिनी मरे र गाडिए र तिनको चिहान आजको दिनसम्म हामीसँग छ ।
[Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
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 ।
So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
31 तिनले यो कुरा पहिला नै देखे र ख्रीष्टको पुनरुथानको बारेमा यसरी बताए, ‘उहाँ नत पातालमा त्यागिनु भयो नत उहाँको शरीर नै कुहियो ।’ (Hadēs g86)
David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
32 यी नै येशूलाई परमेश्वरले जीवित पार्नुभयो जसको हामी सबै जना साक्षी छौँ ।
“[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
33 यसकारण उहाँ परमेश्वरको दाहिने हातपट्टि उठाइनुभयो र पिताबाट प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको पवित्र आत्मा पाएर, उहाँले यो खन्याउनुभएको छ जुन तपाईंहरू सुन्नु र देन्नु हुन्छ ।
God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
34 दाऊद आफैँ स्वर्ग चढेनन् तर तिनी भन्छन्, ‘परमप्रभुले मेरा प्रभुलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो दाहिने हातपट्टि बस,
[We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
35 जबसम्म म तिम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई तिम्रो पाउदान बनाउँदिन ।”’
while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
36 यसकारण इस्राएलका सबै घरानाले यो निश्चयसाथ जानून कि यही येशू जसलाई तपाईंहरूले क्रुसमा टाँग्नुभयो, परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई प्रभु र ख्रीष्ट दुवै बनाउनु भयो ।
[Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
37 जब तिनीहरूले यो सुने, तिनीहरूको हृदय छिया-छिया भयो र तिनीहरूले पत्रुस र अरू बाँकी प्रेरितहरूलाई भने, “भाइहरू हो, हामी के गरौँ?”
When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
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 ।
Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
39 यो प्रतिज्ञा तिमीहरूका लागि, तिमीहरूका सन्तानहरूका लागि र टाढा-टाढा भएका सबैका लागि, र परमेश्वरले बोलाउनुहुने सबै मानिसहरूका लागि हो ।”
[God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
40 अरू धेरै वचनहरूद्वारा तिनले गवाही दिए र तिनीहरूलाई आग्रह गरे । तिनले भने, “यो दुष्ट पुस्ताबाट तिमीहरूले आफैँलाई बचाओ ।”
Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
41 तब तिनीहरूले तिनको वचन ग्रहण गरे र बप्तिस्मा लिए र झन्डै तिन हजार प्राणहरू त्यस दिन थपिए ।
So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
42 तिनीहरू प्रेरितहरूको शिक्षा र सङ्गति, रोटी भाँच्ने कार्य र प्रार्थनामा लागिरहे ।
They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
43 हरेक व्यक्तिमाथि डर छायो र प्रेरितहरूद्वारा धेरै अचम्मका कार्यहरू र चिन्हहरू भए ।
All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
44 विश्वास गर्नेहरू सबै जना सँगसँगै बस्थे र तिनीहरूका सबै चिज साझा थिए ।
All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
45 र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सम्पत्ति र स्वामित्वमा भएका कुराहरू बेचे र विश्वासीहरूको आवश्यकता अनुसार एकअर्कामा बाँडचुँड गरे ।
[From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
46 यसरी तिनीहरू दिनहुँ एकै उद्देश्यसहित मन्दिरमा भेला हुन्थे र तिनीहरूले घरघरमा रोटी भाँच्थे र हृदयको नम्रता र आनन्दसाथ एकअर्कामा भोजन बाँडचुँड गर्थे ।
Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
47 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको महिमा गर्थे र सबै मानिसहरूमाझ शुभेच्छा थियो । प्रभुले उद्धार पाइरहेकाहरूलाई दिनदिनै तिनीहरूका माझमा थप्नुभयो ।
[As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
