प्रेरित 5
1 अब एक जना हननिया नाउँ गरेका मानिसले आफ्नी पत्नी सफिरासँग मिलेर एक टुक्रा जमिन बेचे ।
But a man named Ananias who, with his wife Sapphira, sold a farm of his,
2 र उनले त्यो पैसाको केही अंश आफूसँगै राखे (यो कुरा उनकी पत्नीलाई पनि थाहा थियो) र यसको बाँकी अंश ल्याएर प्रेरितहरूको पाउमा राखिदिए ।
kept back some of the purchase price, with the connivance of his wife. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 तर पत्रुसले भने, “हननिया, पवित्र आत्मालाई झुट बोल्न र त्यस जमिनको मूल्यको केही अंश राख्नलाई तिम्रो हृदयलाई शैतानले किन भर्यो?
"Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan so filled your heart that you are lying to the Holy Spirit, and keeping back part of the price of the land?
4 यसलाई बिक्री नगर्दा पनि के यो तिम्रो आफ्नो थिएन र? अनि यसलाई बेचिसकेपछि पनि यो तिम्रो आफ्नै नियन्त्रणमा नै थिएन र? तिमीले तिम्रो हृदयमा यस्तो कुरा कसरी सोच्यौ? तिमीले मानिसहरूलाई होइन तर परमेश्वरलाई झुट बोलेका छौ ।
"While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was not the price at your own disposal? How could you conceive this act in your heart? You have not lied unto men, but unto God."
5 यी कुराहरू सुनेर हननिया भुइँमा लडे र उनको मृत्यु भयो र यो कुरा सुन्नेहरू सबैमा ठुलो डर छायो ।
As Ananias heard these words he fell down and expired, and all who heard were awe-struck.
6 जवान मानिसहरू अगाडि आए र उनलाई कपडाले बेह्रे र तिनीहरूले उनलाई बोकेर बाहिर लगे र गाडे ।
But the younger men rose, wrapped the body up, and carried it out to bury it.
7 त्यसको झण्डै तिन घण्टापछि उनकी पत्नी त्यहाँ के भएको थियो भन्ने थाहै नपाई भित्र आइन् ।
About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened;
8 पत्रुसले उनलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले सो जमिनलाई त्यत्ति नै मूल्यमा बेचेका हौ या होइनौ, मलाई बताऊ ।” उनले भनिन्, “हो, त्यत्तिमा नै हो ।”
and Peter said to her, "Tell me if you got so much for the land." "Yes," she said, "so much."
9 तब पत्रुसले उनलाई भने, “तिमीहरू परमप्रभुको आत्मालाई जाँच गर्न कसरी सँगै सहमत भयौ? हेर, तिम्रो पतिलाई गाड्नेहरूका पाउ ढोकामा नै छन् र तिनीहरूले तिमीलाई पनि बोकेर बाहिर लानेछन् ।
"Why was it," said Peter, "that you both agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out."
10 तिनी तुरुन्तै उनको पाउमा लडिन् र तिनको मृत्यु भयो र ती जवान मानिसहरू भित्र आए र तिनलाई मृत भेट्टाए; तिनीहरूले तिनलाई बोकेर बाहिर लगे र तिनलाई तिनको पतिको नजिकै गाडिदिए ।
Instantly she fell down at his feet and expired, and when the young men came in they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her husband.
11 पुरै मण्डलीमा र यी कुराहरू सुन्ने सबैमा ठुलो डर छायो ।
And great fear fell on all the church and upon all who had heard it.
12 प्रेरितहरूको हातद्वारा मानिसहरूका बिचमा धेरै चिह्न र आश्चर्यकर्महरू भइरहेका थिए । तिनीहरू सबै सोलोमनको दलानमा सँगै थिए ।
Many signs and wonders continued to be wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles, and by common consent they all would meet in Solomon’s Porch,
13 तिनीहरूलाई मानिसहरूद्वारा उच्च सम्मान मिलेको भए तापनि कसैले पनि तिनीहरूसँगै सामेल हुन साहस गरेनन् ।
but none of the rest dared to associate with them.
14 अझ धेरै विश्वासीहरू अर्थात् असंख्य स्त्रीहरू र पुरुषहरू प्रभुमा थपिँदै थिए ।
Yet the people continued to hold them in high honor, and more and more believers in the Lord were joining them, both men and women.
15 पत्रुस त्यहाँबाट भएर आउँदा तिनको छाया तिनीहरूमध्ये कोहीमाथि परोस् भनेर तिनीहरूले बिरामीहरूलाई गल्लीहरूमा बोकेर ल्याए र तिनीहरूलाई खाट र पलङहरूमा राखे ।
In consequence people would even bring out their sick into the streets, and place them upon beds and pallets as Peter was passing, that at least his shadow might fall upon some of them.
16 त्यहाँ यरूशलेम वरिपरिका सहरहरूबाट पनि बिरामी र अशुद्ध आत्माले सताइएका मानिसहरू ठुलो संख्यामा आए र तिनीहरू सबैले निको भए ।
The people of the towns near Jerusalem also continued to come in crowds, bringing their sick and those who were harried by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
17 तर प्रधान पूजाहारी र उनीसँग रहनेहरू सबै जना (जुन सदूकीहरूको सम्प्रदाय हो) उठे र तिनीहरू ईर्ष्याले भरिए ।
This aroused bitter indignation among the high priest and his followers who were of the sect of the Sadducees,
18 तिनीहरूले प्रेरितहरूमाथि हात हाले र तिनीहरूलाई सार्वजनिक झ्यालखानामा थुनिदिए ।
and they apprehended the apostles, and threw them into the public prison.
19 तर रातको समयमा परमप्रभुका एउटा दूतले झ्यालखानाका ढोकाहरू खोलिदिए र तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर लगे र भने,
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors during the night, and let them out.
20 “जाओ र त्यस मन्दिरमा खडा होओ र यस जीवनका सबै वचनहरू मानिसहरूलाई बताओ ।”
He said to them, "Go take your stand in the Temple, and continue to tell the people all the words of this Life."
21 जब तिनीहरूले यो कुरा सुने तब तिनीहरू सबेरै मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गरे र शिक्षा दिए । तर प्रधान पूजाहारी र तिनीहरूसँग भएकाहरू आए र परिषद्लाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका एल्डरहरूसँगै बोलाए र प्रेरितहरूलाई ल्याउन लगाउनलाई झ्यालखानामा पठाए ।
When they heard this they went at early dawn to the Temple, and began to teach. Meantime when the high priest and his followers arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin and all the Council of the Elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to fetch the apostles.
22 तर ती गएका अधिकारीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई झ्यालखानामा भेट्टाएनन् र तिनीहरू फर्केर आए र प्रतिवेदन दिए ।
But the officers who went did not find them in the prison; so they came back and reported,
23 “हामीले झ्यालखानालाई राम्ररी बन्द गरिएको पायौँ र पहरेदारहरू ढोकामा उभिरहेका थिए, तर त्यसलाई खोल्दा हामीले भित्र कोही पनि भेट्टाएनौँ ।”
"The prison we found locked fast, with the guards stationed at the doors, but when they were opened we found no one inside."
24 जब मन्दिरका कप्तान र मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूले यी कुराहरू सुने, के हुने होला भनी तिनीहरू अन्योलमा परे ।
When the officer in charge of the Temple and the high priest heard these words, they were perplexed concerning them, wondering what would come of it.
25 तब कोही तिनीहरूकहाँ आए र तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तपाईंहरूले झ्यालखानामा राख्नुभएका ती मानिसहरू, मन्दिरमा खडा भएर मानिसहरूलाई सिकाइरहेका छन् ।”
And some one came and told them that the very men whom they had put in prison were standing in the Temple, and teaching to the people.
26 त्यसैले, कप्तान हाकिमहरूसँगै गए र तिनीहरूलाई हिंसाविना नै फर्काएर ल्याए । किनकि तिनीहरू मानिसहरूले ढुङ्गाले हान्लान् भनी डराए ।
On this the officer went off with his men and fetched them, not, however, by force, for they were afraid that the people would stone them.
27 तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई ल्याएपछि, तिनीहरूले उनीहरूलाई सभाको अगि राखे । प्रधान पूजाहारीले उनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर सोधपुछ गरे,
So they brought them, and stood them before the Sanhedrin. Then the high priest questioned them.
28 “हामीले तिमीहरूलाई यस नाउँमा नसिकाउनलाई कडा आज्ञा दियौँ तर पनि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो शिक्षाले यरूशलेम भरिसकेका छौ र त्यस मानिसको रगत हामीमाथि ल्याउने इच्छा गर्छौ ।”
"We strictly forbade you, did we not, to teach about this Name, and here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us."
29 तर पत्रुस र प्रेरितहरूले जवाफ दिए, “हामीले मानिसहरूको भन्दा परमेश्वरको आज्ञा पालन गर्नु पर्छ ।
But Peter and the apostles said in reply.
30 हाम्रा पितापुर्खाका परमेश्वरले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट उठाउनु भयो, जसलाई तपाईंहरूले रुखमा झुण्ड्याएर मार्नुभयो ।
"We must obey God rather than man. The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.
31 परमेश्वरले इस्राएललाई पश्चात्ताप गर्न र पापको क्षमा प्रदान गर्न उहाँलाई राजकुमार र मुक्तिदाता हुनलाई आफ्नो दाहिने हाततर्फ उचाल्नु भयो ।
"Him God has exalted at his right hand as Prince and Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
32 हामीहरू यी कुराहरूका साक्षी छौँ र पवित्र आत्मा पनि यसको साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई परमेश्वरले उहाँको आज्ञा पालन गर्नेहरूलाई दिनुभएको छ ।”
"And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 जब परिषद्का सदस्यहरूले यो सुने तब तिनीहरू क्रुद्ध भए र प्रेरितहरूलाई मार्ने चाहना गरे ।
When they heard this they were infuriated, and were minded to kill the apostles;
34 तर गमलिएल नाउँ गरेका फरिसी र व्यवस्थाका एक जना शिक्षक थिए जो सबै मानिसहरूद्वारा सम्मानित थिए । उनी उभिए र केही समयको लागि प्रेरितहरूलाई बाहिर रहनलाई आज्ञा गरे ।
but Gamaliel, a Pharisee, a teacher of the law, and held in honor by all the people, rose from his seat, and ordered the apostles to be put outside for a little while.
35 तब उनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरू हो, तपाईंहरूले यी मानिसहरूलाई जे गर्नलाई प्रस्ताव गर्नुभएको छ, त्यसमा राम्ररी ध्यान दिनुहोस् ।
He said. "Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men.
36 केही समयअगि, थूदास केही हुँ भन्ने दाबी गर्दै खडा भयो, र झण्डै चार सय जना मानिस त्योसँगै लागे । त्यो मारियो र त्यसका आज्ञा पालन गर्नेहरू सबै तितरवितर भए र त्यो सब छरपस्ट भयो ।
"Years ago Theudas arose, claiming to be somebody, and was joined by about four hundred men. He was killed, and all of his followers dispersed and annihilated.
37 त्यो मानिसपछि जनगणनाको समयमा गालीलको यहूदा खडा भयो र कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई आफ्नो पछि खिँच्यो । त्यो पनि नष्ट भयो र उसका आज्ञा पालन गर्दै आइरहेकाहरू सबै छरपस्ट भए ।
"After him Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some of the people after him. He also perished, and all his followers were scattered.
38 अब म तपाईंहरूलाई भन्छु कि यी मानिसहरूबाट टाढै रहनुहोस् र यिनीहरूलाई छोडिदिनुहोस् किनकि यदि यो योजना वा काम मानिसहरूको हो भने, यो पतन हुनेछ ।
"And now, I say to you, hold aloof from these men. Let them alone; for if this scheme or work be of human origin it will come to nothing;
39 तर यदि यो परमेश्वरको हो भने, तपाईंहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पतन गराउन सक्नुहुन्न र तपाईंहरूले आफैँलाई परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा लडिरहेको पाउनु हुनेछ ।” यसरी तिनीहरूले तिनको कुरा माने ।
"but if it is from God, you cannot put it down; you may even find yourselves fighting against God."
40 तब तिनीहरूले प्रेरितहरूलाई भित्र बोलाए र उनीहरूलाई कुटे र येशूको नाउँमा नबोल्नलाई आज्ञा गरे र तिनीहरूलाई जान दिए ।
They gave in to him; and called the apostles in, and after flogging them, released them, with instructions not to speak about the name of Jesus.
41 तिनीहरू त्यस नाउँको निम्ति अपमान भोग्न योग्यका गनिएकामा तिनीहरूले अनान्दित हुँदै त्यो परिषद् छाडे ।
So they left Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace for the sake of the Name;
42 त्यसपछि हरेक दिन मन्दिर र घर-घरमा, तिनीहरूले निरन्तर येशूलाई नै ख्रीष्टको रूपमा सिकाइरहेका र प्रचार गरिरहेका थिए ।
but not for a single day did they desist from teaching and preaching in the Temple, and in private houses, the Gospel of Jesus, the Messiah.
