प्रेरित 9
1 तर शाऊल अझै प्रभुका चेलाहरूको विरुद्धमा हत्याको धम्की दिँदै प्रधान पूजाहारीकहाँ गए
And Saul, still breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest,
2 र त्यस मार्गका पुरुष होस् या स्त्री जोसुकैलाई बाँधेर यरूशलेममा ल्याउन पाऊँ भनी तिनले दमस्कसका सभाघरहको नाउँमा पत्र मागे ।
and asked of him letters to Damascus, for the synagogues, that, if he should find any who were of this persuasion, either men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 तिनी जाँदै गर्दा जब तिनी दमस्कस नजिकै आइपुगे तब अकस्मात् तिनको वरिपरि स्वर्गबाट आएको ज्योति चम्क्यो ।
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven.
4 तिनी भुइँमा ढले र तिनले यसो भन्ने आवाज सुने, “ए शाऊल, ए शाऊल, किन तिमी मेरो खेदो गर्दैछौ?”
And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
5 शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तपाईं को हुनुहुन्छ?” प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “म येशू हुँ जसको तिमी खेदो गर्दैछौ ।
He answered: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
6 तर उठ र सहरमा जाऊ र तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई बताइनेछ ।”
But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
7 शाऊलसँगै यात्रा गर्ने मानिसहरूले आवाजचाहिँ सुने तर तिनीहरूले कसैलाई देखेनन् र तिनीहरू अवाक् भई उभिरहे ।
The men who journeyed with him stood amazed; for they heard a voice, but saw no one.
8 शाऊल भुइँबाट उठे र तिनले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्दा तिनले केही देखेनन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले हात समातेर तिनलाई दमस्कस पुर्याए ।
And Saul arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one; but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 तिनी तिन दिनसम्म दृष्टिविहीन भए र तिनले न खाए न पिए ।
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
10 दमस्कसमा हननिया नाउँ गरेका चेला थिए । प्रभुले दर्शनमा तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “ए हननिया” तिनले भने, “प्रभु, म यहीँ छु ।”
Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. He answered: Behold me, Lord.
11 प्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “उठ र सोझो भनिने गल्लीमा जाऊ र त्यहाँ यहूदाको घरमा टार्ससका शाऊल नाउँ गरेका मानिसको खोजी गर । किनकि तिनी प्रार्थना गर्दैछन् ।
And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he is praying;
12 र तिनले दृष्टि पाउन सकून् भनेर तिनले दर्शनमा हननिया नाउँका मानिसले तिनीमाथि हात राखेको देखेका छन् ।”
and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and laying his hand on him, that he may receive his sight.
13 तर हननियाले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तिनले यरूशलेममा तपाईंका पवित्र मानिसहरूलाई कति धेरै हानि पुर्याएका छन् भन्ने बारेमा मैले धेरै मानिसहरूबाट सुनेको छु ।
But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem;
14 तपाईंको नाउँ लिने हरेकलाई गिरफ्तार गर्न तिनले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूबाट अधिकार पाएका छन् ।”
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
15 तर प्रभुले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ, किनकि अन्यजातिहरू र राजाहरू र इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूको सामु मेरो नाउँ प्रचार गर्न तिनी छानिएका एक पात्र हुन् ।
But the Lord said to him: Go; for he is a vessel chosen by me to bear my name before nations and kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 किनकि मेरो नाउँको खातिर तिनले कति धेरै दुःख भोग्नुपर्नेछ भनी म तिनलाई देखाउनेछु ।”
For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name.
17 त्यसैले, हननिया गए र त्यस घरभित्र प्रवेश गरे । तिनीमाथि आफ्ना हात राख्दै उनले भने, “भाइ शाऊल, तिमीले आफ्नो दृष्टि पाउन सक र पवित्र आत्माले भरिन सक भनी तिमी आउँदा बाटोमा देखा पर्नुहुने प्रभु येशूले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ ।”
And Ananias went, and entered the house, and laying his hands on him, said: Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 तुरुन्तै शाऊलका आँखाबाट पाप्राजस्ता केही खसे र तिनले दृष्टि पाए । तिनी उठे र बप्तिस्मा लिए ।
And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he instantly received his sight; and he arose, and was immersed.
19 तिनले केही खाएपछि तिनमा ताकत आयो । तिनी केही दिनसम्म दमस्कसका चेलाहरूसँगै बसे ।
And, having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days;
20 तुरुन्तै येशू नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भन्दै तिनले सभाघरहरूमा उहाँको प्रचार गरे ।
and immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Sou of God.
21 तिनका कुरा सुन्नेहरू सबै छक्क परे र तिनीहरूले भने, “यरूशलेममा यो नाउँ लिनेहरूलाई नष्ट गर्ने मानिस यिनी नै होइनन् र? के तिनी उनीहरूलाई बाँधेर मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूकहाँ लैजान यहाँ आएका होइनन् र?”
And all that heard him were astonished, and said: Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those that call on this name, and who has come hither for this purpose, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
22 तर प्रचारको लागि शाऊल अझै शक्तिशाली बने र येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने प्रमाण दिएर दमस्कसमा बस्ने यहूदीहरूलाई तिनले अकमक्क पारिदिए ।
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confuted the Jews that dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 धेरै दिन बितेपछि यहूदीहरूले तिनलाई मार्ने षड्यन्त्र रचे ।
And, after many days had passed, the Jews determined to kill him.
24 तर शाऊलले तिनीहरूको षड्यन्त्र थाहा पाए । तिनलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले तिनीहरू दिनरात ढोकाहरूमा चेवा गरेर बस्थे ।
And their plot was made known to Saul; and they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
25 तर तिनका चेलाहरूले तिनलाई राती नै पर्खालबाट टोकरीमा हालेर खसालिदिए ।
But the disciples took him by night, and let him down through the vail in a basket,
26 शाऊल यरूशलेममा आएपछि तिनी चेलाहरूसँग मिल्न खोजे । तर तिनी चेला हुन् भन्ने कुरा नपत्याएर तिनीहरू सबै तिनीदेखि डराए ।
And having come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 तर बारनाबासले तिनलाई चेलाहरूकहाँ ल्याए । दमस्कसको बाटोमा कसरी शाऊलले प्रभुलाई देखे र प्रभु तिनीसित बोल्नुभयो अनि दमस्कसमा कसरी तिनले साहसपूर्वक येशूको नाउँ प्रचार गरे भनी तिनले उनीहरूलाई बताए ।
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had boldly preached in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 यरूशलेमको भित्र-बाहिर गर्दा तिनले उनीहरूलाई भेटे । तिनले साहसपूर्वक प्रभु येशूको नाउँमा बोले ।
And he was with them in Jerusalem, coming in and going out; and, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
29 र तिनले ग्रिक-यहूदीहरूसित वादविवाद गरे । तथापि उनीहरूले तिनलाई मार्न खोजिरहे ।
he conversed and reasoned with the Hellenists; but they undertook to kill him.
30 भाइहरूले यो कुरा थाहा पाएर तिनलाई कैसरिया ल्याए र त्यहाँबाट तिनलाई टार्सस पठाइदिए ।
And when the brethren learned this, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him out to Tarsus.
31 यसरी सारा यहूदिया, गालील र सामरियाभरिका मण्डलीमा शान्ति छायो र मण्डली मजबुत भयो । परमप्रभुको भय र पवित्र आत्माको सान्त्वनामा मण्डली सङ्ख्यामा बढ्दै गयो ।
Then the churches throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
32 पत्रुस पुरै इलाकामा जाने क्रममा तिनी लुड्डा नगरमा बस्ने परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूकहाँ पनि आइपुगे ।
And it came to pass that Peter, passing through all the places, came down also to the saints that dwelt in Lydda.
33 तिनले त्यहाँ एनियास नाउँका कोही एक जना मानिसलाई भेट्टाए जो आठ वर्षसम्म ओछ्यानमा थिए किनकि तिनलाई पक्षाघात भएको थियो ।
And he found there a certain man named Æneas, who was a paralytic, and had kept his bed for eight years.
34 पत्रुसले तिनलाई भने, “ए एनियास, येशू ख्रीष्टले तिमीलाई निको पार्नुहुन्छ । उठ र तिम्रो ओछ्यान मिलाऊ ।” तिनी तुरुन्तै उठे ।
And Peter said to him: Æneas, Jesus the Christ restores you to health; arise, and spread your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;
35 लुड्डा र शारोनमा बस्ने सबैले ती मानिसलाई देखे र तिनीहरू प्रभुमा आए ।
and all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
36 अब योप्पामा तबीता (ग्रिकमा डोरकास) नाउँकी एक जना चेली थिइन् । यी स्त्री असल काम र कृपापूर्ण कार्यले भरिएकी थिइन् र उनले गरिबहरूको हेरचाह गर्थिन् ।
Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name, when translated, is Dorcas. She was full of good works and deeds of charity which she did.
37 ती दिनमा उनी बिरामी परिन् र मरिन् । तिनीहरूले उनको मृत शरीरलाई धोएर माथिल्लो कोठामा राखे ।
And it came to pass, in those days, that she was taken sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 लुड्डा योप्पाबाट नजिकै भएकोले र पत्रुस त्यहाँ थिए भनी चेलाहरूले सुनेकाले तिनीहरूले यस्तो अनुरोध गर्न तिनीकहाँ दुई जना मानिस पठाए, “विलम्ब नगरीकन हामीकहाँ आइदिनुहोस् ।”
And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to make no delay in coming to them.
39 पत्रुस उठे र तिनीहरूसँगै गए । तिनी आइपुगेपछि तिनीहरूले तिनलाई माथिल्लो कोठामा लगे । पत्रुसको नजिकै बसेका सबै विधवाहरू रुँदै थिए र तिनीहरूले डोरकास तिनीहरूसँग छँदा उनले बनाएका वस्त्रहरू र अरू पोशाकहरू तिनलाई देखाउँदै थिए ।
Then Peter arose, and went with them; and when he had come, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.
40 पत्रुसले सबैलाई कोठाबाट बाहिर पठाए र घुँडा टेकी प्रार्थना गरे । मृतकपट्टि फर्केर तिनले भने, “ए तबीता, उठ ।” उनले आफ्ना आँखा खोलिन् र पत्रुसलाई देखेपछि उनी बसिन् ।
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 त्यसपछि पत्रुसले उनलाई आफ्ना हातले उठाए । तिनले विश्वासीहरू र विधवाहरूलाई डाके र तिनीहरूको उपस्थितिमा उनलाई जीवित प्रस्तुत गरे ।
And he gave her his hand, and raised her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 यो खबर सारा योप्पाभरि फैलियो र धेरै मानिसहरूले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे ।
And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43 पत्रुस धेरै दिनसम्म योप्पामा सिमोन नाउँ गरेका चर्मकारसँग बसे ।
And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
