प्रेरित 20
1 खैलाबैला सकिएपछि, पावलले चेलाहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई उत्साह दिए । तब तिनीहरूबाट बिदा भएर उनी माकेडोनिया जानका लागि हिँडे ।
Now after the uproar had ended, Paul summoned the disciples, took leave of them, and set out for Macedonia.
2 उनी ती क्षेत्रहरू भएर जाँदा त्यहाँका विश्वासीहरूलाई धेरै उत्साह दिँदै गए, त्यसपछि उनी ग्रीसतर्फ लागे ।
When he had gone through those parts and encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 उनले त्यहाँ तिन महिना बिताइसकेपछि जब उनी जहाजद्वारा यात्रा गरेर सिरियातर्फ लाग्ने तरखर गर्दै थिए, तब यहूदीहरूले उनको विरुद्धमा एउटा षडयन्त्र रचे । त्यसैले उनी माकेडोनिया भएर फर्किने निर्णय गरे ।
When he had stayed three months, as he was about to set sail for Syria, the Jews made a plot against him, so he decided to return through Macedonia.
4 उनलाई एसियासम्म बेरिया निवासी पुरोसका छोरा सोपात्रोस, थेसलोनिकेका विश्वासीहरूबाट दुई जना अरिस्तार्खस र सिकन्दस; डर्बीका गायस; तिमोथी; अनि एसियाबाट तुखिकस र त्रोमिफसले साथ दिए ।
Now Sopater of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia were going to accompany him as far as Asia;
5 तर यी मानिसहरू हामीभन्दा अगि गएका थिए र त्रोआसमा हामीलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
so having gone on ahead, these men were waiting for us in Troas.
6 अखमिरी रोटीको चाडपछि हामी फिलिप्पीबाट जहाजमा चढेर हिँड्यौँ र पाँच दिनमा हामी त्रोआसमा तिनीहरूकहाँ आयौँ । त्यहाँ हामी सात दिनसम्म बस्यौँ ।
But it was after the Days of Unleavened Bread that we sailed from Philippi, and in five days we joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
7 हप्ताको पहिलो दिन जब हामी रोटी भाँच्नलाई भेला भएका थियौँ, तब पावल विश्वासीहरूसँग बोल्न थाले । उनले त्यहाँबाट अर्को दिन हिँड्ने योजना गरेकाले उनी मध्यरातसम्मै बोलिरहे ।
Now on the first day of the week, the disciples being assembled to break bread, Paul started addressing them, and because he intended to leave the next day he continued his message until midnight.
8 हामीहरू भेला भएको माथिल्लो कोठामा धेरै बत्तीहरू थिए ।
There were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.
9 युटिकस नाउँको एक जना जवान मानिस झ्यालमा बसिरहेको थियो, र त्यो गहिरोमा निद्रमा पर्यो । पावलले अझै बोल्दै जाँदा निद्रामा परेको त्यो जवान मानिस तेस्रो तल्लाबाट झर्यो र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाईलाई मृत अवस्थामा उठाए ।
Well a certain young man named Eutychus sat in a window and was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul kept on talking; when he was overcome by the sleep he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
10 तर पावल तल गएर त्यसतिनीमाथि लम्पसार परे र त्यसलाई अँगालोमा हाले । त्यसपछि उनले भने “चिन्तित नहुनुहोस् किनभने ऊ जीवितै छन् ।”
So Paul went down, threw himself on him and embracing him said, “Do not be distressed, because his life is in him!”
11 त्यसपछि उनी फेरि माथिल्लो तल्लामा गए र रोटी भाँचे र खाए । झिसमिसे उज्यालो हुदाँसम्म पनि उनले तिनीहरूसँग कुराकानी गरिरहे र त्यसपछि त्यहाँबाट हिँडे ।
Then he went back up and broke bread, ate, and kept on speaking until daybreak—that is how he left!
12 तिनीहरूले ती ठिटालाई जीवितै ल्याए र धेरै सान्त्वना पाए ।
(On their part, they led the boy away alive, and were greatly comforted.)
13 हामी पावलभन्दा अगि जहाजमा चढेर आस्सोसतिर लाग्यौँ, जहाँ हामीले पावललाई जहाजमा ल्याउने योजना गर्यौँ । उनी आफैँले यस्तो चाहना गरे किनकि उनले जमिनको बाटो भएर जाने योजना गरेका थिए ।
As for us, we went to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there—so it had been arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
14 उनले हामीलाई आस्सोसमा भेटेपछि, हामीले उनलाई जहाजमा लियौँ अनि मिटिलेने गयौँ ।
When he met us at Assos we took him aboard and went on to Mityline.
15 त्यसपछि हामी त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गरेर अर्को दिन खियोस टापुको सामुन्ने आइपुग्यौँ । भोलिपल्ट सामोस टापुमा पुग्यौँ अनि अर्को दिन हामी मिलेटस सहरमा आयौँ ।
Sailing from there, the next day we arrived opposite Chios, and the day after we crossed over to Samos and stopped in Trogylium; the following day we came to Miletus.
16 सम्भव भएसम्म पावल पेन्तिकोसको दिनमा यरूशलेममा पुग्नलाई हतार गरिरहेका थिए, त्यसैले उनले एसियामा कुनै समय नबिताइकन एफिसस भएर यात्रा गर्ने निर्णय गरे ।
(Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, to avoid being detained in Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost, if he possibly could.)
17 मिलेटसबाट उनले एफिससमा मानिसहरूलाई पठाए अनि मण्डलीका एल्डरहरूलाई आफूकहाँ बोलाए ।
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and summoned the elders of the congregation.
18 तिनीहरू उनीकहाँ आएपछि, उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरू आफैँ जान्नुहुन्छ कि एसियामा पाइला टेकेको पहिलो दिनदेखि नै मैले सधैँ तपाईंहरूसँग आफ्नो समय कसरी बिताएँ ।
So when they had come to him he said to them: “You yourselves know, from the first day that I arrived in Asia, how I lived the whole time I was with you,
19 यहूदीहरूका षड्यन्त्रहरूका बिचमा मैले मनको सारा नम्रतामा, आँशु बगाउँदै र कष्टहरूमा समेत प्रभुको सेवा गरिरहेँ ।
serving the Lord with all humility, and with many tears and trials, the ones that happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 कुनै पनि भलाइको कुरा तपाईंहरूको बिचमा घोषणा गर्नदेखि मैले आफैँलाई रोकिनँ अनि सार्वजनिक रूपमा र घर-घरमा गएर मैले कसरी तपाईंहरूलाई शिक्षा दिएँ भन्ने कुरा तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ ।
how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 तपाईंहरूलाई थाहै छ कि मैले कसरी यहूदी र ग्रीकहरू दुवैलाई परमेश्वरतिर फर्कन पश्चात्ताप गर्नुपर्ने र हाम्रा प्रभु येशूमा विश्वास गर्नुपर्ने कुराको बारेमा चेताउनी दिइरहेँ ।
solemnly proclaiming to both Jews and Greeks the repentance toward God and the faith into our Lord Jesus.
22 अब हेर्नुहोस्, म पवित्र आत्मामा बाध्य भएर यरूशलेममा जाँदैछु, त्यहाँ मलाई के-कस्तो हुन आउने हो त्यो मलाई थाहा छैन ।
Now then, I am going to Jerusalem bound in my spirit, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,
23 केवल पवित्र आत्माले मलाई यो गवाही दिनुहुन्छ कि हरेक सहरमा साङ्लाहरू र कष्टहरूले मलाई पर्खिरहेका छन् ।
except that the Holy Spirit keeps warning me in every city, saying that fetters and afflictions are just waiting for me.
24 तर म आफ्नो जीवनलाई कुनै मूल्यको ठान्दिनँ, ताकि परमेश्वरको अनुग्रहको सुसमाचारको गवाही बन्नको निम्ति मेरो दौड र प्रभु येशूबाट मलाई प्राप्त भएको सेवा-कार्य पुरा गर्न सकूँ ।
However none of this moves me, nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, just so that I may complete my course with joy, even the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly proclaim the Good News of the grace of God.
25 र अब हेर्नुहोस्, मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंहरू सबै जसलाई मैले राज्यको प्रचार गरेँ, तपाईंहरूले अब उसो मेरो मुहार कहिल्यै देख्नुहुनेछैन ।
“Furthermore, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the Kingdom of God will ever see my face again.
26 त्यसकारण तपाईंहरूलाई आजको दिन म यो गवाही दिन्छु कि म कुनै मानिसको रगतदेखि निर्दोष छु ।
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all;
27 किनकि मैले तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरको सम्पूर्ण इच्छा घोषणा गर्नेदेखि आफैँलाई रोकिनँ ।
because I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 त्यसकारण तपाईंहरू आफ्नै निम्ति र सारा बगालको बारेमा होसियार हुनुहोस्, जुन बगालका लागि पवित्र आत्माले तपाईंहरूलाई देखरेख गर्ने तुल्याउनु भयो ताकि प्रभुले आफ्नै रगतले किन्नुभएका उहाँको बगालका गोठाला भई तपाईंहरू काम गर्नुहोस् ।
So take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as overseers, to shepherd the congregation of the Lord and God which He purchased with His own blood.
29 मलाई थाहा छ कि म यहाँबाट गएपछि, खतरनाक ब्वाँसाहरू तपाईंहरूका बिचमा प्रवेश गर्नेछन् र बगाललाई बाँकी राख्ने छैनन् ।
Because I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंहरूमध्येबाटै केही मानिसहरू आउनेछन् र चेलाहरूलाई आफ्नोपछि तान्नका लागि भ्रष्ट कुराहरू गर्नेछन् ।
Yes, men will rise up from among you yourselves, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 त्यसैले होसियार हुनुहोस् । यो सम्झना गर्नुहोस् कि तिन वर्षसम्म दिन र रात आँशु बगाउँदै तपाईंहरू हरेक जनालाई निर्देशन दिन म पछि परिनँ ।
Therefore be alert, remembering that during three years, night and day, I never stopped admonishing each one, with tears.
32 र अब म तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरमा र उहाँको अनुग्रहको वचनमा सुम्पिन्छु, जुन तपाईंहरूलाई निर्माण गर्न र परमेश्वरमा समर्पित भएकाहरू सबैका माझमा तपाईंहरूलाई उत्तराधिकार दिन सक्षम छ ।
“And so now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the Word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
33 मैले कुनै मानिसको सुन, चाँदी वा कपडाको लोभ गरिनँ ।
I have not coveted anyone's silver or gold or clothing.
34 तपाईंहरू आफैँ जान्नुहुन्छ कि यी हातहरूले मेरा आफ्नै र मसँग भएकाहरूका आवश्यकताहरू पुरा गरेका छन् ।
You yourselves know that these hands have supplied my own needs, and of those who were with me.
35 सबै कुरामा मैले तपाईंहरूलाई कसरी काम गरेर कमजोरहरूको सहायता गर्नुपर्छ र प्रभु येशूका वचनहरूको सम्झना गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने उदाहरण दिएको छु, जसरी उहाँ आफैँले यी वचनहरू भन्नुभयो, ʼलिनुभन्दा दिनु अझ बढी आशिष्को कुरो हो ।ʼ”
In every way I showed you that working hard like this it is necessary to help the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
36 उनले यसरी बोलिसकेपछि उनले घुँडा टेके र सबै जनासँग प्रार्थना गरे ।
When he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 तिनीहरू सबै जना धेरै रोए र उनलाई अँगालो हाले र चुम्बन गरे ।
Then they all wept freely, and falling on Paul's neck kept kissing him,
38 तिनीहरूले उनको मुहार फेरि कहिल्यै पनि देख्ने छैनन् भनी उनले भनेका हुनाले तिनीहरू धेरै जना दु: खित भए । तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई जहाजसम्म पुर्याए ।
sorrowing most of all because of the word that he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
