प्रेरित 9
1 तर शाऊल अझै प्रभुका चेलाहरूको विरुद्धमा हत्याको धम्की दिँदै प्रधान पूजाहारीकहाँ गए
BUT Saul, still breathing out threatenings and murder against the disciples of the Lord, applying to the high-priest,
2 र त्यस मार्गका पुरुष होस् या स्त्री जोसुकैलाई बाँधेर यरूशलेममा ल्याउन पाऊँ भनी तिनले दमस्कसका सभाघरहको नाउँमा पत्र मागे ।
besought of him letters for the synagogues at Damascus, that if he should find any persons of this way, whether men or women, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.
3 तिनी जाँदै गर्दा जब तिनी दमस्कस नजिकै आइपुगे तब अकस्मात् तिनको वरिपरि स्वर्गबाट आएको ज्योति चम्क्यो ।
So advancing on his journey, he was drawing nigh to Damascus: and suddenly there shone around 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 falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तपाईं को हुनुहुन्छ?” प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “म येशू हुँ जसको तिमी खेदो गर्दैछौ ।
Then said he, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting: It is difficult for thee to kick against the goads.
6 तर उठ र सहरमा जाऊ र तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई बताइनेछ ।”
And trembling and amazed he said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 शाऊलसँगै यात्रा गर्ने मानिसहरूले आवाजचाहिँ सुने तर तिनीहरूले कसैलाई देखेनन् र तिनीहरू अवाक् भई उभिरहे ।
And the men who travelled with him stood astonished, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
8 शाऊल भुइँबाट उठे र तिनले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्दा तिनले केही देखेनन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले हात समातेर तिनलाई दमस्कस पुर्याए ।
Then Paul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9 तिनी तिन दिनसम्म दृष्टिविहीन भए र तिनले न खाए न पिए ।
And he was three days seeing nothing, and did neither eat nor drink.
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 at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Here I am, 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 ।
Then the Lord said to him, Arise, go into the street called Strait, and inquire at the house of Judas for one named Saul a man 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 hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming to him, and laying his hand upon him, that he may recover 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 many evils he hath inflicted on thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 तपाईंको नाउँ लिने हरेकलाई गिरफ्तार गर्न तिनले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूबाट अधिकार पाएका छन् ।”
and here he hath 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 unto him, Go: for this man is an elect vessel for me, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 किनकि मेरो नाउँको खातिर तिनले कति धेरै दुःख भोग्नुपर्नेछ भनी म तिनलाई देखाउनेछु ।”
for I will shew him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
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 ।”
Then went Ananias, and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who was seen by thee in the way that thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest recover thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 तुरुन्तै शाऊलका आँखाबाट पाप्राजस्ता केही खसे र तिनले दृष्टि पाए । तिनी उठे र बप्तिस्मा लिए ।
And directly there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he recovered sight instantly, and arose, and was baptised.
19 तिनले केही खाएपछि तिनमा ताकत आयो । तिनी केही दिनसम्म दमस्कसका चेलाहरूसँगै बसे ।
And when he had taken nourishment, he regained his strength. And Saul continued with the disciples who were at Damascus several days.
20 तुरुन्तै येशू नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भन्दै तिनले सभाघरहरूमा उहाँको प्रचार गरे ।
And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son 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 who heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this the man who made havoc at Jerusalem, among those who called on this name? and hither he came for this purpose, that he might carry them in chains unto 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 was endued with still greater power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, conclusively evincing that this person is the Messiah.
23 धेरै दिन बितेपछि यहूदीहरूले तिनलाई मार्ने षड्यन्त्र रचे ।
But when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together how to kill him:
24 तर शाऊलले तिनीहरूको षड्यन्त्र थाहा पाए । तिनलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले तिनीहरू दिनरात ढोकाहरूमा चेवा गरेर बस्थे ।
but their design was discovered to Saul. And they kept guard at the gates of the city day and night, that they might kill him.
25 तर तिनका चेलाहरूले तिनलाई राती नै पर्खालबाट टोकरीमा हालेर खसालिदिए ।
But the disciples taking him by night, got him off through the wall, letting him down in a basket.
26 शाऊल यरूशलेममा आएपछि तिनी चेलाहरूसँग मिल्न खोजे । तर तिनी चेला हुन् भन्ने कुरा नपत्याएर तिनीहरू सबै तिनीदेखि डराए ।
But when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not crediting 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 ।
Then Barnabas taking him by the hand, brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how boldly he had preached at 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 coming in, and going out at Jerusalem:
29 र तिनले ग्रिक-यहूदीहरूसित वादविवाद गरे । तथापि उनीहरूले तिनलाई मार्न खोजिरहे ।
and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he talked and disputed with the Grecian proselytes: but they made an attempt to murder him.
30 भाइहरूले यो कुरा थाहा पाएर तिनलाई कैसरिया ल्याए र त्यहाँबाट तिनलाई टार्सस पठाइदिए ।
Then the brethren, when they knew it brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off 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 had the churches peace through all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified; and walking in the fear of God, and in the consolation of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 पत्रुस पुरै इलाकामा जाने क्रममा तिनी लुड्डा नगरमा बस्ने परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूकहाँ पनि आइपुगे ।
Now it came to pass, as Peter was passing through all parts, that he went down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 तिनले त्यहाँ एनियास नाउँका कोही एक जना मानिसलाई भेट्टाए जो आठ वर्षसम्म ओछ्यानमा थिए किनकि तिनलाई पक्षाघात भएको थियो ।
And found there a certain man named AEneas, during six years stretched on a bed, who was paralytic.
34 पत्रुसले तिनलाई भने, “ए एनियास, येशू ख्रीष्टले तिमीलाई निको पार्नुहुन्छ । उठ र तिम्रो ओछ्यान मिलाऊ ।” तिनी तुरुन्तै उठे ।
And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose immediately.
35 लुड्डा र शारोनमा बस्ने सबैले ती मानिसलाई देखे र तिनीहरू प्रभुमा आए ।
And all who dwelt at 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 ।
But there was at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which by interpretation is called Dorcas: ) this woman was full of good works and of alms which she did.
37 ती दिनमा उनी बिरामी परिन् र मरिन् । तिनीहरूले उनको मृत शरीरलाई धोएर माथिल्लो कोठामा राखे ।
But it came to pass that in those days she sickened and died: having then washed her, they laid her out 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 hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay to come over 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 they carried him, on his arrival, into the upper room: and all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made, whilst 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 putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, 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 ।
Then he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling in the saints and the widows, presented her to them alive.
42 यो खबर सारा योप्पाभरि फैलियो र धेरै मानिसहरूले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे ।
And it was known through all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.
43 पत्रुस धेरै दिनसम्म योप्पामा सिमोन नाउँ गरेका चर्मकारसँग बसे ।
Then it came to pass, that he abode many days at Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
