प्रेरित 20
1 खैलाबैला सकिएपछि, पावलले चेलाहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई उत्साह दिए । तब तिनीहरूबाट बिदा भएर उनी माकेडोनिया जानका लागि हिँडे ।
When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and, with encouraging words, said goodbye to them, and started on his journey to Macedonia.
2 उनी ती क्षेत्रहरू भएर जाँदा त्यहाँका विश्वासीहरूलाई धेरै उत्साह दिँदै गए, त्यसपछि उनी ग्रीसतर्फ लागे ।
After going through those districts and speaking many encouraging words to the disciples, he went into Greece, where he stayed three months.
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 ।
He was about to sail to Syria, when he learned that a plot had been laid against him by several of the Jewish leaders; so he decided to return by way of 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 ।
He was accompanied by Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, as well as by Tychicus and Trophimus of Roman Asia.
5 तर यी मानिसहरू हामीभन्दा अगि गएका थिए र त्रोआसमा हामीलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
These people went to Troas and waited for us there;
6 अखमिरी रोटीको चाडपछि हामी फिलिप्पीबाट जहाजमा चढेर हिँड्यौँ र पाँच दिनमा हामी त्रोआसमा तिनीहरूकहाँ आयौँ । त्यहाँ हामी सात दिनसम्म बस्यौँ ।
while we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the Passover, and joined them five days later at Troas, where we stayed for a week.
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 ।
On the first day of the week, when we had met for the breaking of bread, Paul, who was intending to leave the next day, began to address those who were present, and prolonged his address until midnight.
8 हामीहरू भेला भएको माथिल्लो कोठामा धेरै बत्तीहरू थिए ।
There were a good many lamps in the upstairs room, where we had met;
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 ।
and a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, was gradually overcome with great drowsiness, as Paul continued his address. At last, quite overpowered by his drowsiness, he fell from the third story to the ground, and was picked up for dead.
10 तर पावल तल गएर त्यसतिनीमाथि लम्पसार परे र त्यसलाई अँगालोमा हाले । त्यसपछि उनले भने “चिन्तित नहुनुहोस् किनभने ऊ जीवितै छन् ।”
But Paul went down, threw himself on him, and put his arms round him. ‘Do not be alarmed,’ he said, ‘he is still alive.’
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 upstairs; and, after breaking and partaking of the bread, he talked with them at great length until daybreak, and then left.
12 तिनीहरूले ती ठिटालाई जीवितै ल्याए र धेरै सान्त्वना पाए ।
Meanwhile they had taken 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 ।
We started first, went on board ship, and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. This was by his own arrangement, as he intended to go by land himself.
14 उनले हामीलाई आस्सोसमा भेटेपछि, हामीले उनलाई जहाजमा लियौँ अनि मिटिलेने गयौँ ।
So, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went on to Mitylene.
15 त्यसपछि हामी त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गरेर अर्को दिन खियोस टापुको सामुन्ने आइपुग्यौँ । भोलिपल्ट सामोस टापुमा पुग्यौँ अनि अर्को दिन हामी मिलेटस सहरमा आयौँ ।
The day after we had sailed from there, we arrived off Chios, touched at Samos the following day, and the next day reached Miletus;
16 सम्भव भएसम्म पावल पेन्तिकोसको दिनमा यरूशलेममा पुग्नलाई हतार गरिरहेका थिए, त्यसैले उनले एसियामा कुनै समय नबिताइकन एफिसस भएर यात्रा गर्ने निर्णय गरे ।
for Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so as to avoid spending much time in Roman Asia. He was making haste to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the Festival at the close of the Harvest.
17 मिलेटसबाट उनले एफिससमा मानिसहरूलाई पठाए अनि मण्डलीका एल्डरहरूलाई आफूकहाँ बोलाए ।
From Miletus, however, he sent to Ephesus and invited the church elders to meet him;
18 तिनीहरू उनीकहाँ आएपछि, उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरू आफैँ जान्नुहुन्छ कि एसियामा पाइला टेकेको पहिलो दिनदेखि नै मैले सधैँ तपाईंहरूसँग आफ्नो समय कसरी बिताएँ ।
and, when they came, he said to them, ‘You know well the life that I always led among you from the very first day that I set foot in Roman Asia,
19 यहूदीहरूका षड्यन्त्रहरूका बिचमा मैले मनको सारा नम्रतामा, आँशु बगाउँदै र कष्टहरूमा समेत प्रभुको सेवा गरिरहेँ ।
serving the Lord, as I did, in all humility, amid the tears and trials which fell to my lot through the plots of some of the Jewish leaders.
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 ।
I never shrank from telling you anything that could be helpful to you, or from teaching you both in public and in private.
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 ।
I earnestly pointed both Jews and Greeks to the repentance that leads to God, and to faith in Jesus, our Lord.
22 अब हेर्नुहोस्, म पवित्र आत्मामा बाध्य भएर यरूशलेममा जाँदैछु, त्यहाँ मलाई के-कस्तो हुन आउने हो त्यो मलाई थाहा छैन ।
And now, under spiritual constraint, I am here on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
23 केवल पवित्र आत्माले मलाई यो गवाही दिनुहुन्छ कि हरेक सहरमा साङ्लाहरू र कष्टहरूले मलाई पर्खिरहेका छन् ।
except that in town after town the Holy Spirit plainly declares to me that imprisonment and troubles await 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 ।
But I count my life of no value to myself, if only I may complete the course marked out for me, and the task that was allotted me by the Lord Jesus – which was to declare the good news of the love of God.
25 र अब हेर्नुहोस्, मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंहरू सबै जसलाई मैले राज्यको प्रचार गरेँ, तपाईंहरूले अब उसो मेरो मुहार कहिल्यै देख्नुहुनेछैन ।
And now, I tell you, I know that none of you will ever see my face again – you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom.
26 त्यसकारण तपाईंहरूलाई आजको दिन म यो गवाही दिन्छु कि म कुनै मानिसको रगतदेखि निर्दोष छु ।
Therefore I declare to you this day, that my conscience is clear in regard to the fate of any of you,
27 किनकि मैले तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरको सम्पूर्ण इच्छा घोषणा गर्नेदेखि आफैँलाई रोकिनँ ।
for I have not shrunk from announcing the whole purpose of God regarding you.
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 ।
Be watchful over yourselves, and over the whole flock, of which the Holy Spirit has placed you in charge, to shepherd the church of God, which he won for himself at the cost of his life.
29 मलाई थाहा छ कि म यहाँबाट गएपछि, खतरनाक ब्वाँसाहरू तपाईंहरूका बिचमा प्रवेश गर्नेछन् र बगाललाई बाँकी राख्ने छैनन् ।
I know that, after my departure, merciless wolves will get in among you, who will not spare the flock;
30 मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंहरूमध्येबाटै केही मानिसहरू आउनेछन् र चेलाहरूलाई आफ्नोपछि तान्नका लागि भ्रष्ट कुराहरू गर्नेछन् ।
and from among yourselves, too, people will arise, who will teach perversions of truth, so as 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 on your guard, remembering how for three years, night and day, I never ceased, even with tears, to warn each one of you.
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 now I commend you to the Lord and to the message of his love – a message which has the power to build up your characters, and to give you your place among all those who have become Christ’s people.
33 मैले कुनै मानिसको सुन, चाँदी वा कपडाको लोभ गरिनँ ।
I have never coveted anyone’s gold or silver or clothing.
34 तपाईंहरू आफैँ जान्नुहुन्छ कि यी हातहरूले मेरा आफ्नै र मसँग भएकाहरूका आवश्यकताहरू पुरा गरेका छन् ।
You, yourselves, know that these hands of mine provided not only for my own wants, but for my companions also.
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”
I left nothing undone to show you that, labouring as I laboured, you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said himself – “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”’
36 उनले यसरी बोलिसकेपछि उनले घुँडा टेके र सबै जनासँग प्रार्थना गरे ।
When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 तिनीहरू सबै जना धेरै रोए र उनलाई अँगालो हाले र चुम्बन गरे ।
All were in tears; and throwing their arms round Paul’s neck, they kissed him again and again,
38 तिनीहरूले उनको मुहार फेरि कहिल्यै पनि देख्ने छैनन् भनी उनले भनेका हुनाले तिनीहरू धेरै जना दु: खित भए । तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई जहाजसम्म पुर्याए ।
grieving most of all over what he had said – that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.
