प्रेरित 28

1 हामीलाई सुरक्षित तरिकाले ल्याइएको टापुको नाम माल्टा रहेछ भन्‍ने कुरा हामीले जान्यौँ ।

When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.

2 ती स्थानीय मानिसहरूले सामान्य खालको दया मात्र देखाएनन्, निरन्तर पानी परेर जाडो भएको हुनाले तिनीहरूले आगो बालेर हामी सबै जनालाई स्वागत पनि गरे ।

The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

3 तर जब पावलले एक बिटा दाउरा जम्मा गरे, र त्यसलाई आगोमा हाले, तापले गर्दा एउटा विषालु सर्प निस्केर उनको हातमा बेरियो ।

But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

4 जब त्यहाँको स्थानीय मानिसहरूले उनको हातमा त्यो प्राणी झुण्डीरहेको देखे, तब तिनीहरूले एक आपसमा यसो भने, “यो मानिस पक्‍का पनि हत्यारा हो, जो समुद्रबाट उम्केको थियो, तापनि इन्साफले उसलाई जिउन दिएन ।

When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."

5 तब उनले त्यो प्राणीलाई आगोमा झट्कारी दिए र कुनै हानी भोगेनन् ।

However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.

6 तिनीहरूले उनलाई हनहनी ज्‍वरो आउँछ होला भनेर हेरिरहेका थिए, वा तिनी अचानक मर्छन् होला भन्‍ने ठानेका थिए । तर तिनीहरूले उनलाई लामो समयसम्म हेरिसकेपछि, उनलाई कुनै पनि असामान्य कुरा नभएको देखे, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नो विचारलाई परिवर्तन गरेर उनी त ईश्‍वर रहेछन् भने ।

But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

7 त्यसको नजिकैको स्थानमा, पब्लियस नाम गरेको त्यस टापुको मुख्य मानिसको जमिन थियो । उनले हामीलाई स्वागत गरे, र दयाका साथ हामीलाई तिन दिनसम्म बन्दोबस्त गरिदिए ।

Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.

8 पब्लियसका बुबा ज्‍वरो र आऊँले गर्दा बिरामी परेका थिए । जब पावल उनी भएको ठाउँमा गए, उनले प्रार्थना गरे, उनी माथि हात राखे र उनलाई निको पारे ।

It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

9 यस्तो घटना भइसके पछि, त्यस टापुमा रहेका बिरामी मानिसहरू पनि उनीकहाँ आए, र सबै निको पारिए ।

Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.

10 ती मानिसहरूले धेरै सम्मानका साथ हाम्रो आदर गरे । जब हामीले जहाजको यात्राको लागि तयारी गरिरहेका थियौँ, तिनीहरूले हामीलाई खाँचो परेका सबै थोकहरू दिए ।

They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

11 तिन महिना पछि त्यस टापुमा हामीले अलेक्जेन्ड्रियाको जहाजमा यात्रा सुरू गर्‍यौँ, जुन हिउँदमा यसै टापुमा थियो, र त्यसमा जुम्ल्याहा दाजुभाइको तस्विर थियो ।

After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."

12 साइराक्युस शहरमा पुगिसकेपछि त्यहाँ हामी तीन दिन बस्यौँ ।

Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

13 हामी त्यहाँबाट यात्रा गरेर रेगीयमको शहरमा आइपुग्यौँ । त्यसको एक दिनपछि दक्षिणी बतास चल्यो, र त्यसको दुई दिनपछि पटेओली भन्‍ने शहरमा आइपुग्यौँ।

From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

14 त्यहाँ हामीले केही भाइहरूलाई भेट्टायौँ, जसले हामीलाई सात दिनसम्म त्यहाँ रहनको लागि निमन्‍त्रणा दिए । यसरी हामी रोम आइपुग्यौँ ।

where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

15 हाम्रो बारेमा सुनेर त्यहाँ रहेका दाजुभाइहरू हामीलाई भेट्न आप्पियासको बजार र तिन भट्टीसम्म आए । जब पावलले ती दाजुभाइहरूलाई देखे, उनले परमेश्‍वरलाई धन्यवाद दिए र उत्साहित भए ।

From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.

16 जब हामी रोममा प्रवेश गर्‍यौँ, पावललाई एक जना सिपाहीको रेखदेखमा एक्लै बस्‍ने अनुमति दिइयो ।

When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

17 तब यसको तिन दिनपछि, पावलले यहूदीहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई एकसाथ बोलाए । जब तिनीहरूसँगसँगै आइपुगे उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “दाजुभाइ हो, यद्यपि मैले मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा वा पितापुर्खाको रितीरिवाजको विरुद्धमा कुनै पनि काम गरेको छैन, मलाई एक जना कैदीको रूपमा यरूशलेमबाट रोमीहरूको हातमा सुम्पिएको छ ।

It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

18 तिनीहरूले मलाई प्रश्‍न गरिसकेपछि, तिनीहरूले मलाई स्वतन्‍त्र गर्न चाहे, किनकि ममा मृत्युदण्डको सजाय पाउनु पर्ने कुनै पनि कारण थिएन ।

who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.

19 तर जब यहूदीहरूले तिनीहरूको चाहना विरुद्धमा बोले, तब कैसरकहाँ अपिल गर्न म बाध्य भएँ, तथापि यो मैले मेरो जातिको विरुद्धमा कुनै पनि दोष लगाइरहेको जस्तो थिएन ।

But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

20 तब मेरो अपिलको कारणले गर्दा मैले तपाईंहरूलाई भेट्न, र कुराकानी गर्न बोलाएको हुँ । इस्राएल जे कुराको निम्ति दृढ छ, त्यसैको निम्ति म साङ्लाले बाँधिएको छु ।

For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."

21 तब तिनीहरूले उनलाई भने, “हामीले न त तपाईंको बारेमा यहूदाबाट कुनै पत्र नै प्राप्‍त गर्‍यौँ, न त कुनै भाइहरू आएर तपाईंको बारेमा कुनै नराम्रो प्रतिवेदन दिए वा कुनै नराम्रो कुरा गरे ।

They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

22 तर हामीले यस पन्थको बारेमा के विचार गर्नुहुन्छ भन्‍ने कुरा तपाईंबाट सुन्‍न चाहन्छौँ, किनकि यसको विरुद्धमा बोलिन्छ भनेर हामीहरूले जन्दछौँ ।

But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."

23 जब उनीहरूले उनको निम्ति एक दिन तोकिदिए, तब उनको बासस्थानमा धेरै मानिसहरू आए । उनले त्यस विषयलाई उनीहरूको सामु प्रस्तुत गरे, र परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको बारेमा गवाही दिए । उनले तिनीहरूलाई येशू ख्रीष्‍टको बारेमा मोशा र अगमवक्‍ताको पुस्तक दुवैबाट बिहानदेखि बेलुकासम्म विश्‍वस्त पार्ने कोसिस गरे ।

When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.

24 कति जना भनिएको कुरामा विश्‍वस्त भए भने कतिले विश्‍वास गरेनन् ।

Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

25 जब तिनीहरू एक अर्कामा सहमत भएनन् तब पावलले यो एउटा वचन बोलिसकेपछि तिनीहरू गए, “पवित्र आत्माले यशैया अगमवक्‍ताद्वारा तिम्रा पितापुर्खाहरूसँग ठिकै कुरा बोल्नुभयो ।

When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,

26 उनले भने, “यी मानिसहरूकहाँ जा, र भन्, ‘सुन्‍न त तिमीहरू सुन्‍नेछौ तर बुझ्दैनौ, देखेर देख्‍नेछौ तर सजग हुनेछैनौ ।

saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.

27 किनकि यी मानिसहरूका हृदय सुस्त भएका छन् । तिनीहरूको कानले मुश्किलसाथ सुनेका छन् । तिनीहरूले आँखा बन्द गरेका छन्, नत्रता तिनीहरूको आँखा सजग हुने थिए, र तिनीहरूका कानले सुन्‍ने थिए, र तिनीहरूका हृदयले बुझ्‍ने थिए, र फर्कने थिए र म तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्ने थिएँ ।’

For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'

28 त्यसकारण, तिमीले जान्‍नुपर्ने हुन्छ, कि परमेश्‍वरको मुक्‍तिलाई अन्यजातिहरूका निम्ति पठाईएको छ, र तिनीहरूले सुन्‍नेछन् ।

"Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."

29 (टिपोट: प्रेरित २८:२९- उत्तम प्राचिन पाण्डुलिपिहरूले २९ पदलाई हटाएका छन् ) जब उनले यी कुराहरू भनिसके, तब ती यहूदीहरू ठूलो वाद-विवाद गर्दै बिदा भए ।

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

30 पावल आफ्नो भाडामा लिएको घरमा पुरा दुई वर्षसम्म बसे, र उनीकहाँ आउने सबैलाई स्वागत गरे ।

And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,

31 उनले परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको प्रचार गरिरहेका थिए, र ठुलो साहसका साथ प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्‍टको बारेमा शिक्षा दिइरहेका थिए । कसैले पनि उनलाई रोकेन ।

proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
