प्रेरित 9
1 तर शाऊल अझै प्रभुका चेलाहरूको विरुद्धमा हत्याको धम्की दिँदै प्रधान पूजाहारीकहाँ गए
But Saul still breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest, and desired of him letters to the synagogues at Damascus,
2 र त्यस मार्गका पुरुष होस् या स्त्री जोसुकैलाई बाँधेर यरूशलेममा ल्याउन पाऊँ भनी तिनले दमस्कसका सभाघरहको नाउँमा पत्र मागे ।
that if he should find any of this persuasion, 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 was on his journey, and came near to Damascus, 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 he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 शाऊलले जवाफ दिए, “प्रभु, तपाईं को हुनुहुन्छ?” प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “म येशू हुँ जसको तिमी खेदो गर्दैछौ ।
And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou art persecuting: it is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
6 तर उठ र सहरमा जाऊ र तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ भनी तिमीलाई बताइनेछ ।”
And he trembling and astonished 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 that went along with him, stood astonished, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 शाऊल भुइँबाट उठे र तिनले आफ्ना आँखा खोल्दा तिनले केही देखेनन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले हात समातेर तिनलाई दमस्कस पुर्याए ।
And Saul rose from the earth, but when he opened his eyes he could not see: so they led him by the hand, and brought him to Damascus.
9 तिनी तिन दिनसम्म दृष्टिविहीन भए र तिनले न खाए न पिए ।
And he was three days without sight, 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 to him in a vision, Ananias, and he said, Behold, I am here, 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 unto him, Arise and go into the street which is called Strait, and enquire in the house of Judas for one Saul, of Tarsus:
12 र तिनले दृष्टि पाउन सकून् भनेर तिनले दर्शनमा हननिया नाउँका मानिसले तिनीमाथि हात राखेको देखेका छन् ।”
for behold he is praying, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand upon him, that he might 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 ।
And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much mischief he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 तपाईंको नाउँ लिने हरेकलाई गिरफ्तार गर्न तिनले मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूबाट अधिकार पाएका छन् ।”
and here too he hath authority from the chief priests to apprehend 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 thy way, for he is the instrument I have chosen, to bear my name before the Gentiles, 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 great sufferings he must endure 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 away and came into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to thee on the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy 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 as it were scales; and he instantly recovered his sight, and arose and was baptized.
19 तिनले केही खाएपछि तिनमा ताकत आयो । तिनी केही दिनसम्म दमस्कसका चेलाहरूसँगै बसे ।
And when he had taken some nourishment, he was strengthened. Now Saul was with the disciples at Damascus for some time.
20 तुरुन्तै येशू नै परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ भन्दै तिनले सभाघरहरूमा उहाँको प्रचार गरे ।
And he immediately 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?”
But all that heard him, were amazed, and said, Is not this he that persecuted those in Jerusalem who called on this name, and came hither for this end, 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 prevailed more and more, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, fully proving that this same Jesus is the Christ.
23 धेरै दिन बितेपछि यहूदीहरूले तिनलाई मार्ने षड्यन्त्र रचे ।
And after a considerable time, the Jews conspired to kill him:
24 तर शाऊलले तिनीहरूको षड्यन्त्र थाहा पाए । तिनलाई मार्ने उद्देश्यले तिनीहरू दिनरात ढोकाहरूमा चेवा गरेर बस्थे ।
but Saul was apprised of their design. And they watched the gates day and night, to make away with him:
25 तर तिनका चेलाहरूले तिनलाई राती नै पर्खालबाट टोकरीमा हालेर खसालिदिए ।
but the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall, in a basket.
26 शाऊल यरूशलेममा आएपछि तिनी चेलाहरूसँग मिल्न खोजे । तर तिनी चेला हुन् भन्ने कुरा नपत्याएर तिनीहरू सबै तिनीदेखि डराए ।
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing 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 and 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 he had preached boldly 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, and preaching openly in the name of the Lord Jesus:
29 र तिनले ग्रिक-यहूदीहरूसित वादविवाद गरे । तथापि उनीहरूले तिनलाई मार्न खोजिरहे ।
and he talked and disputed with the Hellenists, who attempted to kill him:
30 भाइहरूले यो कुरा थाहा पाएर तिनलाई कैसरिया ल्याए र त्यहाँबाट तिनलाई टार्सस पठाइदिए ।
but when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him away 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 all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had rest, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord; and through the consolation of the holy Spirit were multiplied.
32 पत्रुस पुरै इलाकामा जाने क्रममा तिनी लुड्डा नगरमा बस्ने परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूकहाँ पनि आइपुगे ।
And it came to pass that as Peter was going through all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.
33 तिनले त्यहाँ एनियास नाउँका कोही एक जना मानिसलाई भेट्टाए जो आठ वर्षसम्म ओछ्यानमा थिए किनकि तिनलाई पक्षाघात भएको थियो ।
And there he found a man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, with the palsy.
34 पत्रुसले तिनलाई भने, “ए एनियास, येशू ख्रीष्टले तिमीलाई निको पार्नुहुन्छ । उठ र तिम्रो ओछ्यान मिलाऊ ।” तिनी तुरुन्तै उठे ।
And Peter said unto him, Eneas, Jesus the Messiah, healeth thee. Arise, and make thy bed. And he rose up immediately.
35 लुड्डा र शारोनमा बस्ने सबैले ती मानिसलाई देखे र तिनीहरू प्रभुमा आए ।
And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Saron saw him, and 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 ।
And there was at Joppa a certain female disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called in Greek Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms-deeds.
37 ती दिनमा उनी बिरामी परिन् र मरिन् । तिनीहरूले उनको मृत शरीरलाई धोएर माथिल्लो कोठामा राखे ।
And it happened, about the same time, that she fell sick and died: and when they had washed her they laid her out in an upper chamber.
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, intreating him that he would not delay to come 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 was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made when 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, kneeled down and prayed: and then 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 giving her his hand he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
42 यो खबर सारा योप्पाभरि फैलियो र धेरै मानिसहरूले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे ।
And it was soon known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43 पत्रुस धेरै दिनसम्म योप्पामा सिमोन नाउँ गरेका चर्मकारसँग बसे ।
And he staid many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
