प्रेरित 24
1 पाँच दिनपछि, प्रधान पूजाहारी हननिया, केही एल्डरहरू र तर्तुलस नाउँ गरेका कुशलवक्ता त्यहाँ गए । यी मानिसहरूले शासककहाँ पावलको विरुद्धमा दोष लगाए ।
After then five days came down the high priest Ananias with (of the *k*) elders (some *NO*) and an orator Tertullus certain, who made a representation to the governor against Paul.
2 जब पावल शासकका अगाडि उभिए, ततुर्लसले तिनलाई दोष लगाउन थाल्यो र शासकलाई भन्यो, “तपाईंको कारणले हामीलाई ठूलो शान्ति मिलेको छ; तपाईंको दूरदृष्टिले हाम्रो देशमा असल सुधार ल्याउँछ ।
When was invited then he began to accuse Tertullus saying; Great peace we are attaining through you and (excellent reforms *N(K)O*) are being done to the nation this [one] through your foresight
3 त्यसकारण अतिउच्च फेलिक्स, सबै धन्यवादका साथ तपाईंले गर्नुभएको हरेक कुरालाई हामी स्वागत गर्छौं ।
in every way both and everywhere we gladly accept [it], most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 त्यसैले म तपाईंलाई अल्झाउँदिनँ, मेरो कुरा छोटकरीमा दया गरी सुनिदिनलाई आग्रह गर्छु ।
In order that however not to any longer you I may be a hindrance, I implore to hear you us briefly in your kindness.
5 किनभने हामीले यस मानिसलाई दु: ख दिने र सारा संसारभरिका यहूदीहरूलाई विद्रोह गर्न लगाउने व्यक्तिको रूपमा पाएका छौँ । ऊ नाजरी सम्प्रदायको एउटा अगुवा हो ।
Having found for man this a pest and stirring (insurrections *N(K)O*) among all the Jews in the world a leader then of the of the Nazarenes sect;
6 उसले मन्दिरलाई अशुद्ध पार्न पनि प्रयास गर्यो, त्यसैले उसलाई हामीले पक्र्यौँ ।
who even the temple attempted to profane, whom also we seized (and according to our own law we wanted to judge. *K*)
7 तर जब सैनिक अधिकृत आइपुगे, तिनले पावललाई हाम्रो हातबाट बलजफ्ति गरेर खोसेर लगे ।
(having come up now Lysias the commander with great violence from the hands of us being carried away, *K*)
8 जब तपाईंले यी सबै कुराहरू बारे पावललाई प्रश्न गर्नुहुन्छ, हामीले उसलाई दोष लगाएको कुराको बारेमा तपाईं आफैँले थाहा पाउनुहुनेछ ।
(having commanded the accusers of him to come upon you; *K*) From him you will be able yourself having examined [him] concerning all these things to know of which we ourselves accuse him.
9 यहूदीहरूले पनि एकैसाथ पावललाई दोष लगाए र यी कुराहरू सत्य हुन् भने ।
(Agreed *N(k)O*) then also the Jews declaring these things so to be.
10 तर जब शासकले पावललाई बोल्नका लागि इशारा गरे, पावलले जवाफ दिए, “म बुझ्छु कि तपाईं यस जातिको निम्ति धेरै वर्षदेखि न्यायकर्ता हुनुभएको छ, र यसैले म आफैँलाई तपाईंको सामु खुसीसाथ बयान गर्छु ।”
Answered (then *N(k)O*) Paul, when was signalling to him the governor to speak: For many years as being you judge to nation this knowing [these] encouraging things, concerning myself I present a defense;
11 तपाईं आफैँले प्रमाणित गर्न सक्नु हुन्छ कि म यरूशलेममा आराधना गर्न गएको बाह्र दिनभन्दा बढी भएको छैन ।
Being able you (to know *N(k)O*) that not more there are to me days (than *k*) (twelve *N(k)O*) from which I went up to then worship (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem;
12 र जब तिनीहरूले मलाई मन्दिरमा भेट्टाए, मैले कसैसँग विवाद गरिनँ, र मैले सभाघरहरू वा सहरहरूमा भिडलाई उक्साइनँ ।
And neither in the temple did they find me with anyone reasoning or (obstruction *N(k)O*) making of a crowd nor in the synagogues nor in the city;
13 र तिनीहरूले मेरो विरुद्धमा जुन दोष लगाएका छन् त्यो तपाईंको अगाडि अहिले प्रमाणित गर्न सक्दैनन् ।
(nor *N(k)O*) to prove are they able (to you *N(K)O*) concerning [the things] of which (now *N(k)O*) they accuse me.
14 तर तपाईंसँग म यो स्वीकार गर्छु कि तिनीहरूले पन्थ भन्ने गरेको मार्गअनुसार नै म मेरा पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको सेवा गर्छु । व्यवस्थामा भएका सबै कुराप्रति र अगमवक्ताहरूले लेखेका पुस्तकहरूप्रति म विश्वासयोग्य छु ।
I confess however this to you that according to the Way which they name a sect so I serve the ancestral God believing in all [things] throughout the law and (that in *no*) the Prophets written,
15 यी मानिसहरूले दुवै धर्मी र अधर्मी मृतकहरूको पुनरुत्थानको प्रतीक्षा गरेजस्तै, परमेश्वरमा मेरो पनि त्यस्तै दृढ विश्वास छ ।
a hope having in God which also they themselves await, [that] a resurrection to ensue to then be (of [the] dead-*K*) of [the] just both and of [the] unjust;
16 र यसमा नै परमेश्वर र मानिसहरूको सामु सबै कुराहरूद्वारा विनादोषको विवेक पाउन म काम गर्छु ।
In this (also *N(k)O*) I myself strive without offense a conscience (to have *NK(o)*) toward God and men (through *N(K)O*) (all [times]. *N(k)O*)
17 अहिले धेरै वर्षपछि म यहाँ मेरो जातिलाई सहायता र पैसाको उपहारहरू ल्याउन आएँ ।
After years now many alms to then bring to the nation of mine I came and offerings,
18 जब मैले यो गरेँ, एसियाका केही यहूदीहरूले मलाई शुद्धिकरणको समारोहमा मन्दिरमा भेट्टाए, जहाँ कुनै भिडभाड वा होहल्ला थिएन ।
during (which *N(k)O*) they found me purified in the temple not with a crowd nor in tumult, Some however [are] from Asia Jews
19 ती मानिसहरू अहिले तपाईंको अगाडि हुनुपर्दथ्यो । अनि यदि मेरो विरुद्धमा तिनीहरूको केही थियो भने भन्नुपर्दथ्यो ।
who (it was necessary *N(k)O*) before you to appear and to make accusation, if anything they would have against me myself.
20 नत्र भने म यहूदी परिषदअगि खडा हुँदा तिनीहरूले ममा के गल्ती भेट्टाए, यिनै मानिसहरूले भन्नुपर्छ ।
Otherwise themselves it they should say (if *k*) any they found (in me myself *ko*) unrighteousness when was standing I before the Council,
21 मैले उनीहरूको माझमा खडा भएर ठुलो स्वरमा यतिमात्र भनेर कराएको थिएँ, ʼमृतकहरूको पुनरुत्थान बारेको कुराले नै आज तपाईंद्वारा मेरो इन्साफ गरिदैँछ ।”
[other] than concerning one this voice which I cried out among them standing that Concerning [the] resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged this day (by *N(k)O*) you.
22 फेलिक्स यो मार्गको बारेमा जानकार थिए, त्यसैले उनले यहूदीहरूलाई पर्खन लगाए । तिनले भने “यरूशलेमबाट सेनापति लुसियस तल आएपछि म तिम्रो मुद्दाको फैसला गर्नेछु ।”
(having heard these things *K*) deferred then them Felix more precisely knowing the [things] concerning the Way having said; When Lysias the commander may have come down, I will examine the [things] as to you.
23 त्यसपछि उनले कप्तानलाई पावललाई पहरा दिने आज्ञा दिए, तर उनीसँग सदासयताको साथ व्यवहार गर र उनका कुनै साथीहरूबाट सहायता लिन वा भेटघाट गर्नलाई कसैले नरोक्नू भनी आदेश दिए ।
having commanded (also *k*) to the centurion to keep (*k*) (him, *N(K)O*) to [let him] have then ease and not to forbid the private [friends] of him to minister (or to come near *K*) to him.
24 केही दिनपछि, फेलिक्स आफ्नी श्रीमती द्रुसिल्लासँग फर्के, तिनी यहूदी थिईन्, अनि उनले पावललाई बोलाए, र उनबाट ख्रीष्ट येशूप्रतिको विश्वासको बारेमा सुने ।
After then days some having arrived Felix with Drusilla the (own *N(k)O*) wife being a Jewess he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the in Christ (Jesus *NO*) faith.
25 तर जब पावलले उनलाई धार्मिकता, संयमता र आउँदै गरेको न्यायको बारे उनीसँग बहस गरे, फेलिक्स भयभीत भए; अनि उनले जवाफ दिए, “अहिलेलाई जाऊ, तर जब मलाई फेरि समय मिल्छ, म तिमीलाई बोलाउनेछु ।”
When reasoning then he concerning righteousness and self-control and the judgment which is coming (to be [in the future] *K*) frightened having become Felix answered; For the present being do go away; opportunity then having found I will call for you;
26 त्यही समयमा, पावलले तिनलाई पैसा दिन्छन् कि भनी तिनले आशा गरिरहेका थिए, त्यसैले तिनले पावललाई प्रायः बोलाउँथे र तिनीसँग कुरा गर्दथे ।
At the same time (now *k*) also he is hoping that riches will be given to him by Paul (so that may release him *K*) Therefore also often him sending for he was talking with him.
27 तर जब दुई वर्ष बित्यो, फेलिक्सपछि पर्सिअस फेस्तस शासक बने, तर फेलिक्सले यहूदीहरूको समर्थन प्राप्त गर्न चाहन्थे, त्यसैले उनले पावललाई निरन्तर पहरामा नै छोडिराखे ।
When two years however having been completed he received [as] successor Felix Porcius Festus, wishing then (favor *N(k)O*) to acquire for himself with the Jews Felix left Paul imprisoned.
