प्रेरित 4

1 जब पत्रुस र यूहन्‍ना मानिसहरूसँग बोलिरहेका थिए, पूजाहारीहरू, मन्दिरका मुख्य व्यक्ति र सदूकीहरू तिनीहरूकहाँ आए ।

AND as they were thus speaking, the priests, and the captain of the temple-guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

2 पत्रुस र यूहन्‍नाले मानिसहरूलाई येशूको बारेमा सिकाइरहेका र उहाँको मृत्युबाट पुनरुत्थान हुनुभएको घोषणा गरिरहेका कारण उनीहरूलाई साह्रै गाह्रो भयो ।

worn down with vexation, because they taught the people, and preached by Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3 उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पक्रे र अर्को बिहानसम्मका लागि झ्यालखानामा हालिदिए, किनभने त्यतिबेला साँझ परिसकेको थियो ।

And they laid hands on them, and committed them to prison till the next day: for it was then evening.

4 तर सन्देश सुनेका मानिसहरूमध्ये धेरै जनाले विश्‍वास गरे र विश्‍वास गर्ने मानिसहरूको सङ्ख्या करिब पाँच हजार थियो ।

But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

5 अर्को दिन तिनीहरूका शासकहरू, एल्डरहरू र शास्‍त्रीहरू यरूशलेममा जम्मा भए ।

Now it came to pass that the next morning, their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were assembled at Jerusalem,

6 प्रधान पूजाहारी हन्‍नास, कैयाफा, यूहन्‍ना, अलेक्जेन्डर र प्रधान पूजाहारीका अरू सबै आफन्तहरू त्यहाँ थिए ।

and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest’s relations.

7 जब उनीहरूले पत्रुस र यूहन्‍नालाई उनीहरूका माझमा राखे तब उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “तिमीहरूले कुन शक्ति वा कुन नाउँमा यसो गरेका हौ?”

And placing them in the midst, they interrogated them, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this thing?

8 अनि पवित्र आत्माले भरिएर पत्रुसले उनीहरूलाई भने, “हे जनताहरूका शासकहरू र एल्डरहरू हो,

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

9 यदि यो मानिसलाई कसरी ठिक पारियो भनी यो बिरामी मानिसलाई गरेको असल कामको बारेमा आज हामीलाई नै प्रश्‍न गरिदैँछ भने,

if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored;

10 तपाईंहरू सबै र इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई यो थाहा होस् कि, तपाईंहरूले क्रुसमा टाँग्‍नुभएका र परमेश्‍वरले मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभएका नासरतका येशू ख्रीष्‍टको नाउँद्वारा नै भएको हो कि यो मानिस तपाईंहरूको बिचमा यहाँ स्वस्थ भएर उभिएको छ ।

be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.

11 येशू ख्रीष्‍ट त्यो ढुङ्गा हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई तपाईं घर निर्माणकर्ताहरूले इन्कार गर्नुभयो तर उहाँ नै मुख्य कुनेढुङ्गा हुनुभयो ।

This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner.

12 अरू कुनै व्यक्तिमा मुक्ति छैन किनभने हामी बचाइनका लागि स्वर्गमुनि मानिसहरूका माझमा अर्को कुनै नाउँ दिइएको छैन ।”

And there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.

13 जब तिनीहरूले पत्रुस र यूहन्‍नाको साहस देखे र महसुस गरे कि उनीहरू साधारण र आशिक्षित मानिसहरू थिए, तब पत्रुस र यूहन्‍ना येशूसँगै रहने गर्दथे भन्‍ने कुरा थाहा पाएर तिनीहरू छक्‍क परे ।

Attentively regarding then the noble confidence of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were men unlettered, and destitute of education, they were astonished; and they recollected them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 उनीहरूले त्यो निको भएको मानिस तिनीहरूसँगै उभिरहेको देखेको कारण तिनीहरूका विरुद्ध केही बोल्न सकेनन् ।

But seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had not a word to reply in contradiction.

15 तर प्रेरितहरूलाई परिषद् बैठक छोड्न आज्ञा दिएपछि उनीहरू एकआपसमा कुरा गर्न थाले ।

But bidding them retire out of the council-chamber, they conferred among themselves,

16 उनीहरूले भने, “यी मानिसहरूलाई हामी के गरौँ? किनकि तिनीहरूद्वारा गरिएको उल्लेखनीय आश्‍चर्यकर्मको वास्तविकता यरूशलेममा बस्‍ने हरेक मनिसलाई थाहा छ; हामी यसलाई इन्कार गर्न सक्दैनौँ ।

saying, What shall we do with these men? for that an acknowledged miracle hath been wrought by them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

17 तर यो कुरा अझ बढी मानिसहरू बिचमा नफैलियोस् भनेर तिनीहरूलाई यो नाउँमा अब उसो कसैसँग पनि नबोल्नू भनी चेताउनी दिऔँ ।”

But that it be no farther spread among the people, we will menace them with threats, no more to speak in this name to any man.

18 तिनीहरूले पत्रुस र यूहन्‍नालाई भित्र बोलाए र येशूको नाउँमा बोल्दै नबोल्नू न त शिक्षा नै दिनू भनी आज्ञा दिए ।

So calling them in, they charged them not to speak in any manner, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus.

19 तर पत्रुस र यूहन्‍नाले उनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “परमेश्‍वरको नजरमा उहाँको भन्दा बढी तपाईंहरूको आज्ञापालन गर्नु उचित हो कि होइन, तपाईंहरू नै न्याय गर्नुहोस् ।

But Peter and John, answering them, said, If it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, be yourselves the judges.

20 किनकि हामीले देखेका र सुनेका कुराहरूको बारेमा हामी नबोली रहन सक्दैनौँ ।”

For we cannot refrain from speaking the things which we have seen and heard.

21 अझ बढी चेताउनी दिएपछि उनीहरूले पत्रुस र यूहन्‍नालाई जान दिए । उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनको निम्ति कुनै पनि दोष भेट्टाउन सकेनन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले जे गरेका थिए त्यसको निम्ति मानिसहरूले परमेश्‍वरको प्रशंसा गरिरहेका थिए ।

Then they with many additional threatenings dismissed them, finding no pretext how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for what had been done.

22 यो चंगाइको आश्‍चर्यकर्म अनुभव गर्ने मानिस चालिस वर्षभन्दा माथिका थिए ।

For the man was more than forty years of age, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed.

23 तिनीहरूलाई स्वतन्‍त्र छोडेपछि, पत्रुस र यूहन्‍ना आफ्नै मानिसहरूकहाँ आए र प्रधान पूजाहारीहरू र एल्डरहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भनेका सबै कुराको प्रतिवेदन दिए ।

But they being dismissed, came unto their own friends, and told them all things which the high-priests and elders had said.

24 तिनीहरूले यो सुनेपछि आफ्ना आवाज परमेश्‍वरमा एकसाथ उचाले र भने, “हे प्रभु, तपाईं जसले आकास र पृथ्वी र समुद्र र त्यसमा भएका सबै थोक बनाउनुभयो,

Now when they heard it, they lifted up their united voice to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God which made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are in them:

25 तपाईं जो पवित्र आत्माद्वारा तपाईंका सेवक हाम्रा पिता दाऊदको मुखद्वारा बोल्नुभयो, ‘अरू जातिहरू किन क्रोधित भए र मानिसहरूले अर्थहीन कुराहरू कल्पना गरे?

who by the mouth of David thy servant saidst, Why do the heathen so furiously rage, and the people meditate vain things?

26 परमप्रभु र उहाँका ख्रीष्‍टको विरुद्धमा पृथ्वीका राजाहरू एक मत भए र शासकहरू एकसाथ भेला भए ।

The kings of the earth rose up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.

27 वास्तवमा, गैरयहूदीहरू र इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसँगै हेरोद र पन्तियस पिलातस दुवै यो शहरमा तपाईंले अभिषेक गर्नुभएका तपाईंका पवित्र सेवक येशूको विरुद्धमा भेला भए ।

For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,

28 तपाईंको बाहुली र इच्छाले यो हुनुभन्दा पहिले नै निर्णय गर्नुभएको सबै कुरा गर्नलाई तिनीहरू सँगसँगै भेला भए ।

to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

29 हे प्रभु, अब तिनीहरूका चेताउनीलाई हेर्नुहोस् र तपाईंका सेवकहरूलाई तपाईंको वचन पुरा साहससित बोल्न दिनुहोस् ।

And as to the present transactions, Lord, look upon their threatnings: and grant thy servants power with all boldness to speak thy word,

30 ताकि जब तपाईंले निको पार्नका लागि आफ्नो हात पसार्नुहुन्छ तपाईंका पवित्र सेवक येशूको नाउँद्वारा चिन्हहरू र आश्‍चर्यहरू होऊन् ।”

by stretching out thy hand for healing; and that signs and miracles may be performed by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गरेर सिध्याएपछि तिनीहरू भेला भएको ठाउँ हल्लियो र तिनीहरू सबै पवित्र आत्माले भरिए र तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको वचन साहससित बोले ।

And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

32 विश्‍वास गर्नेहरूको त्यो ठुलो समूह एउटै हृदय र आत्माका थिए; तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि आफूसँग भएको कुनै पनि थोक वास्तवमा उसको आफ्नो हो भनेनन्, तर तिनीहरूका सबै थोक साझा थिए ।

And in the multitude of those that believed there was one heart and soul: and not one person said, that any part of his substance was his peculiar property; but all things were in common among them.

33 ठुलो शक्तिसाथ प्रेरितहरूले प्रभु येशूको पुनरुत्थानको बारेमा गवाही घोषणा गर्दैथिए र उनीहरू सबैमाथि ठुलो अनुग्रह थियो ।

And with great power bore the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34 तिनीहरूमध्ये कुनै थोकको अभाव भएको कुनै एक व्यक्ति पनि थिएन किनभने तिनीहरू सबैले आफूसँग भएका जग्गाहरू र घरहरू बेचेर आएका पैसा ल्याउँथे

Neither was there any person in want among them: for as many as were possessors of fields or houses disposed of them, and brought the prices of the things sold,

35 र प्रेरितहरूका पाउमा राखिदिन्थे र आवश्यकतापरेअनुसार हरेक विश्‍वसीलाई वितरण गरिन्थ्यो ।

and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and a distribution was made to every one according as he had need.

36 साइप्रसबाट आएका योसेफ नाउँका एक जना मानिस थिए जो लेवी कुलका थिए जसलाई प्रेरितहरूले बारनाबास (जसको अर्थ उत्साहको पुत्र हुन्छ) नाउँ राखिदिएका थिए ।

And Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, (which is, being interpreted, A son of consolation, ) a Levite, a Cyprian by birth,

37 उनीसँग भएको जमिन उनले बेचे र त्यसको पैसा ल्याएर प्रेरितहरूको पाउमा राखिदिए ।

having a field belonging to him, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
