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, after speaking words of encouragement to them, he took his leave, and started for Macedonia.
2 उनी ती क्षेत्रहरू भएर जाँदा त्यहाँका विश्वासीहरूलाई धेरै उत्साह दिँदै गए, त्यसपछि उनी ग्रीसतर्फ लागे ।
Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there.
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 ।
The Jews having planned to waylay him whenever he might be on the point of taking ship for Syria, he decided to travel back 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 as far as the province of Asia by Sopater the Beroean, the son of Pyrrhus; by the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; by Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and by the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 तर यी मानिसहरू हामीभन्दा अगि गएका थिए र त्रोआसमा हामीलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
These brethren had gone on and were waiting for us in the Troad.
6 अखमिरी रोटीको चाडपछि हामी फिलिप्पीबाट जहाजमा चढेर हिँड्यौँ र पाँच दिनमा हामी त्रोआसमा तिनीहरूकहाँ आयौँ । त्यहाँ हामी सात दिनसम्म बस्यौँ ।
But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained 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 to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight.
8 हामीहरू भेला भएको माथिल्लो कोठामा धेरै बत्तीहरू थिए ।
Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were,
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 youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window. This lad, gradually sinking into deep sleep while Paul preached at unusual length, overcome at last by sleep, fell from the second floor and was taken up dead.
10 तर पावल तल गएर त्यसतिनीमाथि लम्पसार परे र त्यसलाई अँगालोमा हाले । त्यसपछि उनले भने “चिन्तित नहुनुहोस् किनभने ऊ जीवितै छन् ।”
Paul, however, went down, threw himself upon him, and folding him in his arms said, "Do not be alarmed; his life is still 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 upstairs again, broke bread, and took some food; and after a long conversation which was continued till daybreak, at last he parted from them.
12 तिनीहरूले ती ठिटालाई जीवितै ल्याए र धेरै सान्त्वना पाए ।
They had taken the lad home 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 ।
The rest of us had already gone on board a ship, and now we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there; for so he had arranged, he himself intending to go by land.
14 उनले हामीलाई आस्सोसमा भेटेपछि, हामीले उनलाई जहाजमा लियौँ अनि मिटिलेने गयौँ ।
Accordingly, when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came 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 ।
Sailing from there, we arrived the next day off Chios. On the next we touched at Samos; and on the day following 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's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.
17 मिलेटसबाट उनले एफिससमा मानिसहरूलाई पठाए अनि मण्डलीका एल्डरहरूलाई आफूकहाँ बोलाए ।
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the Elders of the Church to come to 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 ।
Upon their arrival he said to them, "You Elders well know, from the first day of my setting foot in the province of Asia, the kind of life I lived among you the whole time,
19 यहूदीहरूका षड्यन्त्रहरूका बिचमा मैले मनको सारा नम्रतामा, आँशु बगाउँदै र कष्टहरूमा समेत प्रभुको सेवा गरिरहेँ ।
serving the Lord in all humility, and with tears, and amid trials which came upon me through the plotting 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 ।
and that I never shrank from declaring to you anything that was profitable, or from teaching you in public and in your homes,
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 ।
and urging upon both Jews and Greeks the necessity of turning to God and of believing 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, impelled by a sense of duty, I am 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 the Holy Spirit, at town after town, testifies to me that imprisonment and suffering are awaiting 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 even the sacrifice of my life I count as nothing, if only I may perfect my earthly course, and be faithful to the duty which the Lord Jesus has entrusted to me of proclaiming, as of supreme importance, the Good News of God's grace.
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 know that none of you among whom I have gone in and out proclaiming the coming of the Kingdom will any longer see my face.
26 त्यसकारण तपाईंहरूलाई आजको दिन म यो गवाही दिन्छु कि म कुनै मानिसको रगतदेखि निर्दोष छु ।
Therefore I protest to you to-day that I am not responsible for the ruin of any one of you.
27 किनकि मैले तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरको सम्पूर्ण इच्छा घोषणा गर्नेदेखि आफैँलाई रोकिनँ ।
For I have not shrunk from declaring to you God's whole truth.
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 ।
"Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has placed you to take the oversight for Him and act as shepherds to the Church of God, which He has bought with His own blood.
29 मलाई थाहा छ कि म यहाँबाट गएपछि, खतरनाक ब्वाँसाहरू तपाईंहरूका बिचमा प्रवेश गर्नेछन् र बगाललाई बाँकी राख्ने छैनन् ।
I know that, when I am gone, cruel wolves will come among you and will not spare the flock;
30 मलाई थाहा छ कि तपाईंहरूमध्येबाटै केही मानिसहरू आउनेछन् र चेलाहरूलाई आफ्नोपछि तान्नका लागि भ्रष्ट कुराहरू गर्नेछन् ।
and that from among your own selves men will rise up who will seek with their perverse talk 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 the alert; and remember that, night and day, for three years, I never ceased admonishing every one, even 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 now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace. He is able to build you up and to give you your inheritance among His people.
33 मैले कुनै मानिसको सुन, चाँदी वा कपडाको लोभ गरिनँ ।
No one's silver or gold or clothing have I coveted.
34 तपाईंहरू आफैँ जान्नुहुन्छ कि यी हातहरूले मेरा आफ्नै र मसँग भएकाहरूका आवश्यकताहरू पुरा गरेका छन् ।
You yourselves know that these hands of mine have provided for my own necessities and for the people 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 all things I have set you an example, showing you that, by working as I do, you ought to help the weak, and to bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, "'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
36 उनले यसरी बोलिसकेपछि उनले घुँडा टेके र सबै जनासँग प्रार्थना गरे ।
Having spoken thus, Paul knelt down and prayed with them all;
37 तिनीहरू सबै जना धेरै रोए र उनलाई अँगालो हाले र चुम्बन गरे ।
and with loud lamentation they all threw their arms round his neck, and kissed him lovingly,
38 तिनीहरूले उनको मुहार फेरि कहिल्यै पनि देख्ने छैनन् भनी उनले भनेका हुनाले तिनीहरू धेरै जना दु: खित भए । तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई जहाजसम्म पुर्याए ।
grieved above all things at his having told them that after that day they were no longer to see his face. And they went with him to the ship.
