प्रेरित 27
1 जब हामीले इटालीको यात्रा गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने निर्णय गरियो, तिनीहरूले पावल र केही कैदीहरूलाई अगस्टसको फौजको कप्तान युलियसको जिम्मा लगाइदिए ।
And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.
2 हामी एड्रामिटेनोसबाट जहाजमा चढ्यौँ, जुन एसियाको समुद्रीतट भएर जान लाग्दै थियो । त्यसैले, हामी समुद्रतिर गयौँ । माकेडोनियामा पर्ने थेसेलोनिकेका अरिस्तार्खस हामीसँगै गए ।
And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 अर्को दिन हामी जहाजबाट सिदोन सहरमा उत्रियौँ, जहाँ युलियसले पावललाई दयापूर्ण व्यवहार गरे, र उनलाई उनका साथीहरूकहाँ जान अनुमति दिए ताकि उनले तिनीहरूबाट वास्ता पाउन सकून् ।
And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.
4 त्यहाँबाट हामी समुद्रतिर लाग्यौँ, अनि बतासबाट सुरक्षित भएको साइप्रसको टापु नजिक जहाजमा यात्रा गर्यौँ, किनभने बतास हाम्रो विपरीत दिशाबाट चलेको थियो ।
And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against us.
5 किलिकिया र पामफिलियाको नजिकैबाट जहाजमा यात्रा गर्दै हामी लुकिया सहरको माइरा आइपुग्यौँ ।
And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.
6 त्यहाँ सिपाहीका कप्तानले इटाली गइरहेको अलेक्जेन्ड्रियाको एउटा जहाज भेट्टाए । उनले हामीलाई त्यसमा चढाइदिए ।
And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.
7 जब हामी धेरै दिन यात्रा गर्दै बिस्तारै र कष्टसाथ अन्तमा क्निडस नजिकै आइपुग्यौँ, बतासले हामीलाई त्यताबाट अगाडि बढ्न दिएन । त्यसैले, हामीले सल्मोनको सामुन्ने रहेको क्रेटको आड लिएर यात्रा गर्यौँ ।
And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;
8 समुद्रीतट भएर लासिया सहरको नजिकै रहेको सुन्दर बन्दरगाह भन्ने ठाउँसम्म नपुगेसम्म हामीले कष्टसाथ यात्रा गर्यौँ ।
And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.
9 हामीले ज्यादै धेरै समय लगायौँ । यहूदी उपवासको समय पनि बितिसकेको थियो । सामुद्रिक यात्रा खतरनाक भएको थियो । त्यसैले, पावलले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिए,
And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,
10 र भने, “मानिसहरू हो, हामीले सुरु गर्न लागेको सामुद्रिक यात्रामा हाम्रा सामानहरू र जहाजलाई मात्र होइन, हामीलाई पनि ठुलो चोटपटक लाग्नेछ र नोक्सानी हुनेछ भन्ने म देख्छु ।”
Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.
11 तर सिपाहीका कप्तानले पावलले बोलेका कुरामा भन्दा जहाजका चालक र जहाजको मालिकको कुरामा बढ्ता ध्यान दिए ।
But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
12 किनभने जाडो समयमा त्यो बन्दरगाहमा समय बिताउन सजिलो थिएन । त्यसैले, जहाज चालकहरूमध्ये धेरै जनाले जसरी भएपनि फोनिक्स सहरमा पुगेर जाडो बिताउनको लागि त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गर्न सल्लाह दिए । फोनिक्स क्रेटको एउटा बन्दरगाह हो, जुन उत्तर-पूर्व र दक्षिण-पूर्वपट्टि फर्केको छ ।
And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.
13 जब दक्षिणी बतास मन्द रूपले बहन थाल्यो, तब जहाज चालकहरूले जे चाहेका थिए त्यो प्राप्त गरे भनी उनीहरूले सोचे । त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूले लङ्गर निकाली समुद्रमा खसाले, र क्रेटको समुद्र किनार हुँदै यात्रा गरे ।
And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.
14 तर त्यसको केही समयपछि डरलाग्दो उत्तर-पूर्वी नामक तुफान चल्यो र त्यो सम्पूर्ण टापुभरि हामीमाथि बज्रन थाल्यो ।
But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.
15 जहाजले त्यस आँधीको सामना गर्न नसकेपछि हामीले हार मान्यौँ, र त्यसले जता लैजान्थ्यो, त्यतै गयौँ ।
And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.
16 हामी क्लौडा नाउँ गरेको एउटा सानो टापुको सुरक्षित स्थान हुँदै लाग्यौँ, अनि बडो कष्टका साथ पानी जहाजमा रहेको सानो डुङ्गालाई जोगाउन सक्षम भयौँ ।
And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:
17 जब तिनीहरूले यसलाई माथि उचाले, त्यसपछि त्यसका डोरीहरू जहाजको मुख्य भागलाई बाँध्नको लागि प्रयोग गरे । हामीहरू सिरटिसको बलौटे धापमा फस्छौँ कि भनेर तिनीहरू डराएका थिए । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले लङ्गरहरू झारिदिए, र जहाज आफैँ तैरन थाल्यो ।
And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.
18 हामी आँधीद्वारा धेरै धकेलियौँ । त्यसकारण, अर्को दिन जहाज चालकहरूले जहाजमा राखिएका समानहरू समुद्रमा फाल्न लागे ।
And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;
19 तेस्रो दिन जहाज चालकहरूले जहाजलाई नियन्त्रण गर्न सामान पुन: फाले ।
And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.
20 जब धेरै दिनसम्म सूर्य र ताराहरू हाम्रामाझ चम्किएनन्, र ठुलो आँधी हामीमाथि बज्रिरह्य ो, तब हामीले बच्न सक्छौँ कि भन्ने आशा नै त्यागेका थियौँ ।
And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.
21 जब तिनीहरूले खानाविना धेरै दिन बिताइसकेका थिए, त्यसपछि पावल जहाज चालकहरूका माझमा खडा भए, र भने, “मानिसहरू हो, यो चोट र हानि नभोग्नलाई मेरो कुरा मानेर क्रेटबाट यात्रा नगरेको भए असल हुने थियो ।
And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.
22 अब म तपाईंहरूलाई साहसी बन्न उत्साह दिन्छु, किनभने तपाईंहरूका माझमा कुनै पनि मानवीय क्षति हुनेछैन, जहाजको मात्रै क्षति हुनेछ ।
But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.
23 किनभने गएको रात मैले आराधना गर्ने परमेश्वर जसको म हुँ, उहाँका एक स्वर्गदूत मेरो छेउमा उभिए
For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,
24 र भने, “नडराऊ, पावल । तिमी कैसरको अगाडि उभिनु पर्छ र हेर परमेश्वरले आफ्नो कृपामा तिमीसँग यो जहाजमा यात्रा गरिरहेका सबैलाई तिम्रो हातमा दिनु भएको छ ।
Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.
25 त्यसकारण, मानिसहरू, साहसी हुनुहोस् किनभने म परमेश्वरलाई भरोसा गर्दछु, कि मलाई जे भनिएको छ त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.
26 तर हाम्रो जहाज भने कुनै टापुमा पुगेर क्षतिग्रस्त हुनुपर्नेछ ।”
But we will be sent on to a certain island.
27 जब चौधौँ रात आयो, हामी यताउता गर्दै भएर एड्रियाटिक समुद्रमा यात्रा गरिरहेका थियौँ, मध्यरातमा जहाज चालकहरूले कुनै जमिन नजिक पुगिरहेका छौँ भन्ने विचार गरे ।
But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;
28 तिनीहरूले गहिराइ नापे र गहिराइ लगभग छत्तिस मिटर भएको पत्ता लगाए, केही समय पछि फेरि उनीहरूले नाप लिए र गहिराइ सत्ताइस मिटर भएको पत्ता लगाए ।
And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.
29 हामीहरू चट्टानहरूमा ठोकिएर दुर्घटनामा पर्छौं कि भनेर तिनीहरू डराए, त्यसैले तिनीहरूले जहाजको पछाडि पट्टिबाट चारवटा लंगर तल खसालेर चाँडै बिहान होस् भनेर प्रार्थना गरे ।
Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.
30 जहाज चालकहरूले त्यो जहाजलाई त्याग्नको लागि बाटो खोजिरहेका थिए र सानो डुङ्गा समुद्रमा तल झारे अनि जहाजको अगाडिको भागबाट लंगरहरू तल खसाल्छौँ भनी बहाना बनाए ।
Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;
31 तर पावलले सिपाहीहरू र उनीहरूका कप्तानलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरू यस जहाजमा बसेनन् भने तपाईंहरू जीवित रहन सक्नुहुने छैन ।”
But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.
32 त्यसपछि सिपाहीहरूले त्यो डुङ्गाको डोरी काटिदिए र त्यसलाई त्यही पानीमा नै बगेर जान दिए ।
Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.
33 जब बिहानको हुनै लागेको थियो, पावलले ती सबैलाई खाना खान बिन्ती गरे । उनले भने, “तपाईंहरूले खाना नखाई पर्खिएको आज यो चौधौँ दिन हो, तपाईंहरूले केही पनि खानु भएको छैन ।
And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.
34 त्यसैले तपाईंहरूले केही खानुहोस् किनकि यो तपाईंहरूलाई बाँच्नको लागि हो र तपाईंहरूको टाउकोको एउटै रौँ पनि नष्ट हुन पाउने छैन ।”
So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.
35 त्यति भनिसकेपछि, उनले रोटी लिए र सबैको सामु परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिए । त्यसपछि उनले त्यो रोटी भाँचे अनि खान सुरु गरे ।
And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.
36 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू सबै उत्साहित भए र खाना खाए ।
Then they all took heart and did the same.
37 हामी जहाजमा 276 जना मानिस थियौँ ।
And we were, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six persons.
38 जब उनीहरूले पर्याप्त खाना खाए, त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले गहुँलाई समुद्रमा फ्याँकेर जहाजलाई हलुका बनाए ।
And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.
39 जब उज्यालो भयो, तिनीहरूले जमिनलाई चिन्न सकेनन्, तर तिनीहरूले समुद्रबाट बलौटे किनारा भएको खाडी देखे, अनि तिनीहरूले जहाजलाई त्यहाँ लैजान सक्छन् कि सक्दैनन् भनी छलफल गरे ।
And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.
40 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले लंगरहरू काटेर र समुद्रमा नै छोडिदिए । त्यही समयमा तिनीहरूले जहाजमा भएका पतवारको डोरीहरू खोलि दिए अनि बतासतिर जहाजका पालहरू फर्काए, र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू समुद्र किनारतिर अगि बढे ।
So cutting away the hooks, and letting them go into the sea, and freeing the cords of the guiding-blades, and lifting up the sail to the wind, they went in the direction of the inlet.
41 तर तिनीहरू दुईओटा पानीको प्रवाह मिलेको ठाउँमा पुगे अनि जहाज जमिनमा भासियो । जहाजको अगाडिको भाग त्यहीँ अड्कियो र जहाज हलचल गर्न सकेन । तर प्रचण्ड बतासको कारणले जहाजको पछाडिको भाग भाँचिन सुरु भयो ।
And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.
42 कैदीहरू पौडेर नाभागून् भनेर सिपाहीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई मार्ने योजना गरे
Then the armed men were for putting the prisoners to death, so that no one would get away by swimming.
43 तर सिपाहीको कप्तानले पावललाई बचाउने चाहना गरे, त्यसकारण उनले तिनीहरूको योजनालाई रोके, र जसलाई पौडी खेल्न आउँछ तिनीहरूले पहिले जहाजबाट हाम फालेर उत्रून् र जमिनमा जाऊन् भन्ने आदेश दिए ।
But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:
44 त्यसपछि तिनले बाँकी मानिसहरू जाऊन्, कोही काठका तख्ताहरूमा र केही जहाजका अन्य सामानहरूमा चढेर जाऊन् भने । यसरी हामी सबै जना जमिनमा सुरक्षित आइपुग्यौँ ।
And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.
