प्रेरित 4

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

AND as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, 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 ।

Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

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

And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.

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

Howbeit many of them which 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 ।

And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,

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 of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

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

And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?

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 this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

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 of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

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

This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which 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 ।”

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among 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 ।

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

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

And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

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

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, 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 to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in 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 spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

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

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor 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 answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

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

For we cannot but speak 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 ।

So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

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

For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.

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

And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

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,

And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

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 thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

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

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

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

For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

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

For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

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

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

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

By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done 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 when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; 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 the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

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

And with great power gave 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 among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

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

And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man 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 by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

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

Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
