प्रेरित 4

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

But, as they were speaking unto the people, the High-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 tired out because of their teaching the people, and announcing, in Jesus, the resurrection from among the dead;

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

And they thrust on them their hands, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was evening, already.

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

Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.

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

And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem;

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

Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; —

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

And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire—In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this?

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

Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them—Ye rulers of the people, and elders!

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, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, —in whom, this, man hath been made well,

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 unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, —whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.

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

This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became 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 in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs 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 ।

And, looking at Peter’s boldness of speech, and John’s, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

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

Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the [man] who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict.

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

Howbeit, ordering them to go forth outside the high-council, they began to confer one with another,

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 are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, 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 ।”

Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man.

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

And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge, —not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon 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, said unto them—Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!

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

For, we, cannot but be 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 ।

They, however, further charging them with threats, let them go, finding nothing as to how they might chastise them, on account of the people; because, all, were glorifying God for that which had come to pass; —

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

For, more than forty years old, was the man, upon whom had taken place, this healing sign.

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

But, when they had been let go, they came unto their own [friends], and told as many things as, unto them, 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,

And, they, having heard, with one accord, uplifted voice unto God, and said—O Sovereign! Thou, art he that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are herein:

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 our father, through means of the Holy Spirit, even by the mouth of David thy servant, said—Unto what end did nations rage, and, peoples, busy themselves with empty things?

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

The kings of the earth stationed themselves, and, the rulers, were gathered together, with one intent, 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 they were gathered together, of a truth, in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, —both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with them of the nations, and peoples of Israel; —

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

To do whatsoever, thy hand and thy counsel, marked out beforehand to come to pass.

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

As to the present things, then, O Lord, —look upon their threats, and grant unto thy servants, with all freedom of utterance, to be speaking thy word,

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

By stretching forth thy hand for healing, and by the coming to pass of both signs and wonders, through the name of thy holy servant 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 made supplication, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were filled, one and all, with the Holy Spirit, and began speaking the word of God with freedom of utterance.

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 throng of them that believed, had one heart and soul, and not so much as one was saying that, aught of his goods, 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, were the apostles giving forth their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; great favour also 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

For there was not so much as anyone, lacking, among them; for, as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the things that were being sold,

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

And laying them at the feet of the Apostles, while on the other hand they were distributing unto each one, in so far as any one 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, Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the Apostles, which is to be translated Son of Exhortation, —a Levite, a Cyprian by nation,

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

Having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the Apostles.
