प्रेरित 7
1 प्रधान पूजाहारीले भने, “के यी कुराहरू साँचा हुन्?”
Asked then the high priest; whether (therefore *k*) these things so are?
2 स्तिफनसले भने, “दाजुभाइ तथा पिताहरू हो, मेरो कुरा सुन्नुहोस्ः हाम्रा पिता अब्राहाम हारानमा बस्नुअगि महिमाका परमेश्वर मेसोपोटामियामा तिनीकहाँ देखा पर्नुभयो ।
And he was speaking: Men brothers and fathers, do listen. The God of glory appeared to the father of us Abraham being in Mesopotamia before than dwelling of his in Haran,
3 उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रो देश र तिम्रा नातेदारहरूलाई छाड र मैले देखाउने देशमा जाऊ ।”
and He said to him; do go out from the country of you and from the kindred of you and come into (the *no*) land which then to you I may show.’
4 त्यसपछि तिनी कल्दीहरूको देशबाट प्रस्थान गरे अनि तिनी हारानमा आएर बसे । त्यहाँ तिनका पिताको मृत्यु भएपछि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई यस देशमा ल्याउनुभयो जहाँ अहिले तपाईंहरू बस्नुहुन्छ ।
Then having gone out from [the] land of Chaldeans he dwelt in Haran; And from there And from there after dying the father of him He removed him into land this in which you yourselves now dwell,
5 उहाँले तिनलाई कुनै पनि कुरा पैत्तृक सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुभएन, यहाँसम्म कि पर्याप्त पाइला राख्ने ठाउँसम्म पनि दिनुभएन । तर अब्राहामको कुनै सन्तान नहुँदा पनि उहाँले त्यो देश तिनलाई सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दिनुहुनेथियो र त्यसपछि तिनका सन्तानहरूलाई दिनुहुनेथियो भनी तिनीसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभयो ।
And not He did give to him an inheritance in it not even [give] [the] length of a foot but He promised to give to him for a possession it and to the descendants of him after him, not there being to him a child.
6 परमेश्वरले तिनलाई भन्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो कि तिनका सन्तानहरू विदेशी भूमिमा केही समयको लागि बस्नेथिए र त्यहाँका बासिन्दाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई कमारा तुल्याउनेथिए र चार सय वर्षसम्म तिनीहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्नेथिए ।
Spoke however (thus *NK(O)*) God that will be the seed of him a sojourner in a land strange and they will enslave it and they will mistreat [it] years four hundred.
7 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरू जुन जातिको अधीनमा कमारा हुनेछन् म तिनीहरूको न्याय गर्नेछु र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू त्यहाँबाट बाहिर निस्केर आई यस ठाउँमा मेरो आराधना गर्नेछन् ।”
And the nation to which (then *NK(o)*) (they will be in bondage, *N(k)O*) will judge I myself, God said and after these things they will come forth and they will serve Me in place this.’
8 अनि उहाँले अब्राहामसित खतनाको करार बाँध्नुभयो । त्यसैले, अब्राहाम इसहाकका पिता बने र तिनले आठौँ दिनमा उनको खतना गरे । इसहाक याकूबका पिता बने र याकूब बाह्र कुलका पिता बने ।
And He gave to him [the] covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him on the day eighth, and (*k*) Isaac Jacob, and (*k*) Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 कुलपतिहरूले योसेफको विरुद्धमा डाह गरे र तिनलाई मिश्रमा बेचिदिए । तर परमेश्वर तिनीसित हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
And the patriarchs having envied Joseph sold [him] into Egypt; But was God with him
10 र उहाँले तिनलाई सबै दुःखकष्टबाट छुटाउनुभयो र मिश्रका राजा फारोको सामने तिनलाई कृपा र बुद्धि दिनुभयो । तब फारोले तिनलाई मिश्र र तिनका सारा घरानाका शासक बनाए ।
and rescued him out of all the tribulations of him and gave to him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt and he appointed him ruler over Egypt and (over *n*) all the house of him.
11 त्यस बेला सारा मिश्र र कनानभरि अनिकाल पर्यो र ठुलो सङ्कष्ट आइपर्यो । परिणाम स्वरूप हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले कुनै खाना पाएनन् ।
Came then a famine upon all the (land *k*) (of Egypt *N(k)O*) and Canaan and affliction great and not were finding sustenance the fathers of us.
12 तर जब मिश्रमा अन्न पाईंदोरहेछ भनी याकूबले सुने तिनले पहिले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई त्यहाँ पठाए ।
Having heard now Jacob [there] is (grain in Egypt *N(k)O*) he sent forth the fathers of us first,
13 दोस्रो पटकको भेटघाटमा योसेफले आफूलाई आफ्ना दाजुहरूकहाँ प्रकट गरे, र योसेफको परिवारलाई फारोकहाँ परिचित गराइयो ।
and on the second time (was recognised by *NK(o)*) Joseph the to brothers of him, and known became to Pharaoh the family (of Joseph. *NK(O)*)
14 आफ्ना पिता याकूब र तिनका सबै नातेदारहरू अर्थात् पचहत्तर प्राणीलाई मिश्रमा आउनुहोस् भनी तिनले आफ्ना दाजुहरूमार्फत खबर पठाए ।
Having sent then Joseph he called for Jacob the father of him and all the kindred (of him *k*) in all souls seventy five.
15 त्यसैले याकूब मिश्रमा गए । त्यहाँ तिनको मृत्यु भयो र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू पनि त्यहीँ नै मरे ।
(And *no*) went down (now *ko*) Jacob into Egypt and died he himself and the fathers of us
16 तिनीहरूका मृत शरीर शकेममा लगिए र अब्राहामले शकेममा हमोरका छोराहरूबाट चाँदीको मूल्यमा किनेको चिहानमा तिनीहरूलाई गाडियो ।
and they were carried over into Shechem and were placed in the tomb (which *N(k)O*) bought Abraham for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor (in *N(k)O*) Shechem.
17 परमेश्वरले अब्राहामसित प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको समय नजिकिँदै गर्दा मानिसहरू मिश्रमा गुणात्मक रूपमा बढे ।
Even as now was drawing near the time of the promise that (he agreed *N(K)O*) God to Abraham, increased the people and multiplied in Egypt
18 त्यसपछि मिश्रमा अर्का राजाको उदय भयो जसले योसेफलाई चिन्दैनथ्ये ।
until that there arose king another (over Egypt *NO*) who not knew Joseph.
19 ती राजाले हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई छलगरे र हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूलाई यसरी दुर्व्यवहार गरे कि आफैँलाई बचाउन तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शिशुहरूलाई बाहिर फाल्नुपर्थ्यो ।
He having dealt treacherously with the race of us he mistreated the fathers of us making [them] the infants abandon of them unto the not to be given life.
20 त्यही बेला मोशाको जन्म भयो । तिनी परमेश्वरको सामु सुन्दर थिए र तिन महिनासम्म तिनका पिताको घरमा तिनको स्याहार गरियो ।
In that time was born Moses and he was beautiful to God; who was brought up months three in the house of the father (of him; *k*)
21 जब तिनलाई फ्याँकियो फारोकी छोरीले तिनलाई उठाइन् र तिनलाई आफ्नै छोरासरह हुर्काइन् ।
(When was being exposed *N(k)O*) then (he *N(k)O*) took up him the daughter of Pharaoh and brought up him for herself for a son.
22 मोशालाई मिश्रका सारा विद्यामा शिक्षा दिइयो र तिनी आफ्ना वचन र कर्ममा शक्तिशाली बने ।
And was instructed Moses (in *no*) all [the] wisdom of [the] Egyptians; he was now mighty in words and (in *k*) deeds (of him. *no*)
23 तर जब तिनी करिब चालिस वर्ष पुगे, तिनलाई आफ्ना दाजुहरू अर्थात् इस्राएलीहरूलाई भेट गर्न मन लाग्यो ।
When then was fulfilled to him of forty years a period, it came into the mind of him to visit the brothers of him the sons of Israel.
24 एक जना इस्राएलीमाथि अन्याय भएको देखेर तिनले उसको रक्षा गरे र अत्याचार गर्ने मिश्रीलाई मारिदिए ।
And having seen a certain one being wronged he defended [him] and he did vengeance for the [one] being oppressed having struck down the Egyptian.
25 परमेश्वरले तिनीद्वारा तिनका दाजुभाइहरूको छुट्कारा गर्न खोज्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो भन्ने कुरा तिनीहरूले बुझ्लान् भनी तिनले सोचे, तर तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा बुझेनन् ।
He was supposing now to understand the brothers of him that God through [the] hand of him is giving salvation to them; but not they understood.
26 अर्को दिन तिनी केही इस्राएलीहरूकहाँ आए जहाँ तिनीहरू एक आपसमा झगडा गरिरहेका थिए । तिनले तिनीहरूको झगडा मिलाउन खोजे र भने, “तपाईंहरू दाजुभाइ हुनुहुन्छ । किन एकअर्काको विरुद्धमा लड्नुहुन्छ?”
On the and following day he appeared to those who were quarreling and (was reconciling *N(K)O*) them to peace having said: Men, brothers are (you yourselves; *k*) why why wrong one another?
27 तर जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई हानि पुर्याएको थियो त्यसले तिनलाई धकेलेर भन्यो, “तिमीलाई कसले हाम्रो शासक र न्यायकर्ता तुल्यायो?
The [one] however mistreating the neighbour pushed away him having said; Who you appointed ruler and judge over (us? *N(k)O*)
28 हिजो तिमीले त्यस मिश्रीलाई मारेझैँ के तिमी मलाई पनि मार्न चाहन्छौ?”
Surely not to execute me you yourself desire [the] same way you executed yesterday the Egyptian?’
29 यो सुनेर मोशा भागे । तिनी मिद्यान देशमा परदेशी बने जहाँ तिनी दुई छोराका पिता बने ।
Fled then Moses at remark this and became exiled in [the] land of Midian, where he begat sons two.
30 चालिस वर्ष बितेपछि सीनै पर्वतको उजाड–स्थानमा जलिरहेको आगोको पोथ्रामा एउटा स्वर्गदूत तिनीकहाँ देखा परे ।
And when were passing years forty appeared to him in the wilderness of the Mount Sinai an angel (of [the] Lord *K*) in a flame of fire of a bush.
31 मोशाले ज्वालालाई देखेपछि तिनी छक्क परे । त्यसलाई हेर्न तिनी नजिक जाँदा त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको आवाज आयो,
And Moses having seen [it] was marvelling at the vision; When is approaching then he to behold [it], there was [the] voice of [the] Lord (to him: *K*)
32 “तिम्रा पुर्खाहरू अब्राहाम, इसहाक र याकूबका परमेश्वर मै हुँ ।” मोशा काँपे र तिनले हेर्ने साहस गरेनन् ।
I myself [am] the God of the Fathers of you, the God of Abraham and (the God *k*) of Isaac and (the God *k*) of Jacob.’ Terrified then having become Moses not he was daring to look.
33 परमप्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रा जुत्ता फुकाल किनकि तिमी उभिएको ठाउँ पवित्र भूमि हो ।
Said then to him the Lord; do take off the sandal of the feet of you; for the place (on *N(k)O*) which you have stood ground holy is.
34 निश्चय नै मैले मिश्रमा भएका मेरा मानिसहरूको दुःखकष्टलाई देखेको छु । मैले तिनीहरूको क्रन्दन सुनेको छु र म तिनीहरूलाई छुट्कारा दिन तल ओर्लीआएको छु । म तिमीलाई मिश्रमा पठाउनेछु ।”
Having seen I saw the oppression of the people of Mine in Egypt and the groans (of them *NK(o)*) I have heard; and I have come down to deliver them; and now come (I may send *N(k)O*) you to Egypt.’
35 यी मोशा जसलाई तिनीहरूले इन्कार गरेका थिए, जसलाई तिनीहरूले भनेका थिए, “कसले तिमीलाई शासक र न्यायकर्ता तुल्यायो?”, तिनैलाई परमेश्वरले शासक र उद्धारकर्ता दुवै बनाएर पठाउनुभयो । पोथ्रामा मोशाकहाँ देखा पर्ने स्वर्गदूतद्वारा परमेश्वरले तिनलाई पठाउनुभयो ।
This Moses whom they rejected having said; Who you appointed ruler and judge?’ — him [whom] God [as] (and *no*) ruler and redeemer (has sent by *N(k)O*) [the] hand of [the] angel who having appeared to him in the bush.
36 मिश्र, लाल समुद्रसाथै उजाड–स्थानमा चालिस वर्षसम्म आश्चर्यकर्म र चिन्हहरू गरेर मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट बाहिर ल्याए ।
this one led out them having done wonders and signs in ([the] land of *NK(o)*) (Egypt *N(k)O*) and in [the] Red Sea and in the wilderness years forty.
37 यी तिनै मोशा थिए जसले इस्राएलीहरूलाई भनेका थिए, “परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका दाजुभाइहरूकै बिचबाट मजस्तै एक जना अगमवक्ता खडा गर्नुहुनेछ ।”
This is the Moses having said to the sons of Israel; A prophet for you will raise up ([the] Lord *K*) God (of you *K(O)*) out from the brothers of you like me myself (of him you will listen to. *K*)
38 यी तिनै मानिस हुन् जो उजाड-स्थानमा भएको समुदायसित स्वर्गदूतसँगै थिए जो सीनै पर्वतमा तिनीसित बोलेका थिए । यी तिनै मानिस थिए जो हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूसित थिए; यी तिनै मानिस थिए जसले हामीलाई दिन जीवित वचनहरू प्राप्त गरे ।
This is the [one] having been in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who is speaking to him in the Mount Sinai and of the fathers of us who received (oracles *NK(O)*) living to give (to us; *NK(O)*)
39 यी तिनै मानिस थिए जसप्रति हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू आज्ञाकारी बनेनन्; तिनीहरूले तिनलाई पन्छाए र तिनीहरू आफ्ना हृदयमा मिश्रमा फर्कने चाहना गरे ।
to whom not wanted obedient to be the fathers of us, but they thrust away and they turned back (in *no*) (the hearts *NK(o)*) of them to Egypt,
40 त्यस बेला तिनीहरूले हारूनलाई भने, “हामीलाई अगुवाइ गर्ने देवताहरू बनाउनुहोस् । हामीलाई मिश्र देशबाट अगुवाइ गरेर ल्याउने यी मोशालाई के भयो हामीलाई थाहा छैन ।”
having said to Aaron; do make us gods who will go before us; As for Moses this who brought out us from [the] land of Egypt, not we know what (happened *N(k)O*) to him.’
41 ती दिनमा तिनीहरूले एउटा बाछोको मूर्ति बनाए र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई बलिदान चढाए र तिनीहरू आफूले गरेको काममा रमाए ।
And they made a calf in the days those and offered a sacrifice to the idol and they were rejoicing in the works of the hands of them.
42 तर परमेश्वर तिनीहरूबाट तर्कनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई आकाशका ताराहरूको सेवा गर्न छाडिदिनुभयो जस्तो अगमवक्ताका पुस्तकहरूमा लेखिएको छः “इस्राएलका घराना हो, के तिमीहरूले मलाई चालिस वर्षसम्म उजाड-स्थानमा पशुबलि र बलिदानहरू चढायौ र?”
Turned away however God and delivered them to worship the host of heaven, even as it has been written in [the] book of the prophets: Not slain beasts and sacrifices did you offer to Me years forty in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 तिमीहरूले मोलोखको पवित्र वासस्थान र रेफन देवताको तारा र आफूले पूजा गर्न बनाएका मूर्तिहरूलाई स्वीकार गर्यौ । यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई बेबिलोनभन्दा पर निर्वासनमा लैजानेछु ।”
And You took up the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of the god of you Rephan, the images that you made to worship them; and I will remove you beyond Babylon.’
44 उजाड-स्थानमा हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूको गवाहीको पवित्र वासस्थान थियो जुन परमेश्वरले मोशालाई आज्ञा गर्नुभएमुताबिक उहाँले देखाउनुभएको नमुनाबमोजिम बनाइएको थियो ।
The tabernacle of the testimony was (among *K*) the fathers of us in the wilderness, even as had commanded the [One] speaking to Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
45 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूको पालोमा तिनीहरूले यस पाललाई यहोशूसँगै यस देशमा ल्याए । हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूको उपस्थितिमा परमेश्वरले ती जातिहरूलाई बाहिर निकाली तिनीहरूको देश हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूको हातमा दिनुहुँदा यो घटना भएको थियो । दाऊदको समयसम्म यस्तै भयो,
which also brought [it] having received by succession the fathers of us with Joshua in the taking possession of the nations whom drove out God from [the] face of the fathers of us until the days of David;
46 जसले परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा निगाह पाए र तिनले याकूबका परमेश्वरको निम्ति एउटा वासस्थान निर्माण गर्नका निम्ति अनुरोध गरे ।
who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling place for the (house *N(K)O*) of Jacob.
47 तर सोलोमनले परमेश्वरको निम्ति एउटा भवन बनाए ।
Solomon however built for Him [the] house.
48 तथापि सर्वोच्च परमेश्वर हातले बनाएका घरहरूमा बस्नुहुन्न जस्तो अगमवक्ताले भनेका छन्ः
Yet not the Most High in hand-made (temples *K*) dwells, Even as the prophet says:
49 ‘स्वर्ग मेरो सिंहासन हो, र पृथ्वी मेरा खुट्टाको पाउदान । तिमीहरूले मेरो निम्ति कस्तो किसिमको घर बनाउन सक्छौ?’ परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । वा मेरो विश्राम स्थान कहाँ छ?
Heaven [is] to Me a throne, (and *NK(o)*) the earth a footstool of the feet of Mine; What kind of house will you build Me? says [the] Lord, or what [is] [the] place of the rest of Mine?
50 के यी सबै कुराहरू मेरै हातले बनाएका होइनन् र?’
Surely the hand of Mine has made these things all?’
51 हे हठी मानिसहरू हो, हृदय र कानको खतना नभएकाहरू, तपाईंहरू सधैँ पवित्र आत्माको विरोध गर्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंहरूका पुर्खाले जस्तो गरे तपाईंहरू पनि त्यस्तै गर्नुहुन्छ ।
Stiff-necked and uncircumcised (in the *k(o)*) (hearts *N(k)O*) (of you *o*) and in ears, you yourselves always the Spirit Holy resist, as the fathers of you also you;
52 तपाईंहरूका पुर्खाले कुनचाहिँ अगमवक्तालाई सताएनन्? तिनीहरूले अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मारे जो धर्मी जनको आगमनअगि देखा परेका थिए । अहिले आएर तपाईंहरूले उहाँका विश्वासघाती र उहाँका हत्यारा बन्नु भएको छ ।
Which of the prophets not did persecute the fathers of you? And they killed those having foretold about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now you yourselves betrayers and murderers (have become; *N(k)O*)
53 तपाईंहरूले स्वर्गदूतहरूद्वारा स्थापित व्यवस्था पाउनुभयो तर त्यसको पालना गर्नुभएन ।”
who received the law by [the] ordination of angels and not kept [it].
54 जब परिषद्का सदस्यहरूले यी कुराहरू सुने तिनीहरू स्तिफनसको विरुद्धमा क्रूद्ध बने र तिनीहरूले दाह्रा किटे ।
Hearing now these things they felt cut up in the hearts of them and were gnashing the teeth at him.
55 तर तिनले पवित्र आत्माले भरिएर एकटकले स्वर्गतिर हेरे र परमेश्वरको महिमा साथै येशूलाई परमेश्वरको दाहिने हातपट्टि उभिरहनुभएको देखे ।
He being however full of [the] Spirit Holy, having looked intently into heaven saw [the] glory of God and Jesus already standing at [the] right hand of God
56 स्तिफनसले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, म स्वर्ग उघ्रेको र मानिसका पुत्रलाई परमेश्वरको दाहिने हातपट्टि उभिरहनुभएको देख्दछु ।”
and he said; Behold I see the heavens (opened up *N(k)O*) and the Son of Man at [the] right [hand] already standing of God.
57 तर परिषद्का सदस्यहरू ठुलो सोरले चिच्च्याए; तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कान थुने र तिनीहरू तिनीमाथि जाइलागे ।
Having cried out then in a voice loud they held the ears of them and rushed with one accord upon him;
58 तिनीहरूले तिनलाई सहरबाहिर ल्याए र तिनीमाथि ढुङ्गा बर्साए । साक्षीहरूले शाऊल नाउँ गरेका जवान मानिसको खुट्टानेर आफ्ना बाहिरी वस्त्रहरू खोलेर राखे ।
and having cast [him] out of the city they were stoning [him]. And the witnesses laid aside the garments of them at the feet of a young man named Saul
59 तिनीहरूले स्तिफनसमाथि ढुङ्गा बसाईरहँदा तिनले निरन्तर रूपमा प्रभुको पुकारा गरे र भने, “हे प्रभु येशू, मेरो आत्मालाई ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् ।”
And [as] they were stoning Stephen he was calling out and saying; Lord Jesus, do receive the spirit of mine.
60 तिनले घुँडा टेकी ठुलो सोरले चिच्च्याए, “हे प्रभु, तिनीहरूलाई यो पापको दोष नलागोस् ।” यति भनेपछि तिनले आफ्नो प्राण त्यागे ।
Having fallen then on [his] knees he cried in a voice loud; Lord, not may place to them this sin. And this having said he fell asleep.
