1हामीले अग्रजहरूबाट बिदा लिए पछि जहाज चल्न शुरू भयो। हामी समुद्र यात्रा गरेर सोझै कस टापू गयौं। अर्को दिन रोडसको टापूमा आयौ। त्यहाँदेखि पटारा पुग्यौं।
1When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2पटारामा हामीले एक जहाजमा समुद्र यात्रा गरेर गयौं।
2Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3हामी साइप्रस टापूको छेउमा पुग्यौं। हामी त्यसलाई उत्तर दिशा तर्फ हेर्न सक्दथ्यौ तर हामी रोकिएनौ। हामी सिरिया देशमा गयौं। हामी टायर शहरमा थामियौं किनभने जहाजले बोकेको माल वस्तु झार्नु थियो।
3When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4हामीले टायर शहरमा येशूका चेलाहरू भेट्यौं र उनीहरूसंगै सात दिन बस्यौं। तिनीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्माले दिएको खबरको आधारमा तिनीहरूले पावललाई यरूशलेम नजानु भनी चेतावनी दिए।
4Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5तर जब हामीले त्यहाँको भ्रमण शेष गर्यो, विदा लियौं र यात्रा जारी नै राख्यौ। सबै येशूका चेलाहरू यहाँ सम्म कि स्वास्नीमानिसहरू र केटाकेटीहरूले पनि हामीलाई बिदा दिन शहर बाहिरसम्म आए। हामी सबैले किनारमा घूँडा टेक्यौ अनि प्रार्थना गरयौ।
5When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6त्यसपछि हामीले विदा लिएर जहाजमा चढयौ। चेलाहरू घर फर्के।
6After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7हामी टायरदेखि आफ्नो यात्रा जारी राख्दै टोलेमाइस शहरमा गयौं। हामीले चेलाहरूलाई स्वागत गरयौं र उनीहरूसंग एकदिन बस्यौं।
7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
8अर्को दिन टोलेमाइस शहर छाड्यौ अनि सिजरिया शहरमा गयौं। हामी फिलिपको घरमा गयौं र बस्यों। फिलिप सुसमाचर प्रचार गरेर पमेश्वरको सेवा गरिरहेका थिए।
8On the next day, we, who were Paul’s companions, departed, and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9उनका चारजना अविवाहित छोरीहरू थिए र तिनीहरूले अगामवाणी गर्ने प्रतिभा पाएका थिए।
9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10त्यहाँ धेरै दिन बसेपछि, एकजना अगमवक्ता अगाबस यहूदीयाबटा आए
10As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11तिनी हामीकहाँ आए र पावलको पेटी मागे। त्यसपछि अगाबसले त्यो पटीले हात र खुट्टा बाँधे अनि भने, “पवित्र आत्माले , भन्नुहुन्छ, यो पेटी जसको हो उसलाई यसरी यरूशलेमा यहूदीहरूले बाँध्नेछन्। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उसलाई गैर-यहूदी मानिसहरूकहाँ सुम्पिन्छन्।”
11Coming to us, and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12हामी सबैले ती शब्दहरू सुन्यौं। यसैले हामीहरू र येशूका अरू स्थानीय चेलाहरूले पावललाई यरूशलेम नजानु भनेर बिन्ती गर्यौं।
12When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13तर पावलले भने, “तिमीहरू किन रोई रहेछौ? किन मलाई यति साह्यो खिन्न पारी रहेछौ? म यरूशलेममा बाँधिन तयार छु। म प्रभु येशूको नाउँको निम्ति मर्न सम्म तयार छू!”
13Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14हामीले उनलाई यरूशलेमबाट टाढा राख्न सकेनौं। यसकारण हामीले उनलाई बिन्ती गर्न छोडी दियौं र भन्यौं, “हामी प्रार्थना गर्छौं कि जे प्रभुले चाहनु हुन्छ त्यही हुनेछ।”
14When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15त्यसपछि हामी यरूशलेममतिर जान तयार भयौं
15After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16सिजरियावासी येशूका कतिपय चेलाहरू हामीसंग गए। ती चेलाहरूले हामीलाई साईप्रसका मानिस मनासोनको घरमा लगे। मनासोन येशूका एकजना एकदम पुरानो चेला थिए। तिनीहरूले हामीलाई उनको घरमा लगे र हामी त्यही बस्यौं।
16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17यरूशलेममा विश्वासीहरू हामीलाई देखेर अत्यन्त खुशी भए।
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18अर्कोदिन, याकूबलाई भेट्न पावल हामीसंग गए। सबै अग्रजहरू पनि त्यहाँ थिए।
18The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19पावलले प्रत्येकलाई अभिवादन गरे अनि परमेश्वरले अयहूदीहरूको बीचमा उहाँको सेवकहरूको माध्यमले के के कामहरू गर्नुभयो एक एक गरी वृतान्त सुनाए।
19When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20जब अग्रजहरूले यी कुराहरू सुने, तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले पावललाई भने, “भाइ! तिमीहरूले देख्छौ कि कति हजारौं यहूदीहरू विश्वासी भए। तर तिनीहरू सबैले सोच्छन् कि मोशाको व्यवस्था खुबै महत्वको छ।
20They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21अरू देशहरूमा गैर-यहूदीहरू माझमा बस्ने यहूदीहरूलाई तिमीले मोशाको व्यस्था पालन नगर्नु भनी शिक्षा दियौ भन्ने तिनीहरूले सुनेकाछन् कि यहूदीहरूका छोरा-छीरीहरूलाई खतना गर्नु पर्दैन र हाम्रो रीति-रिवाज मान्नु पर्दैन भनी तिमीले शिक्षा दियौ।
21They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
22के गर्नु पर्ने? यहाँ यहूदी विश्वासीहरूले तिमी आएको निश्चय चाल पाउनेछन्।
22What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23यसर्थ के गर्नु पर्ने हो हामी बताँउछौः हाम्रा चारजना मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरलाई वाचा गरेका छन्।
23Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24यिनीहरूलाई लिएर जाऊ र तिनीहरूसंगै आफू पनि चोखिनु। तिमीले तिनीहरूको केश खोरने पैसा देऊ यसो गरे यो प्रमाण हुनेछ कि तिम्रो विषयमा तिनीहरूले जे सुने त्यो सत्य होइन। तिनीहरूले तिमीले मोशाको नियम तिम्रो आफ्नै जीवनमा पालन गरेको देख्नेछन्।
24Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
25गैर-यहूदी विश्वासीहरूको विषयमा हामीले तिनीहरूलाई चिट्ठी यसो भन्दै पठाएका छौः ‘मूर्तिहरूमा चढाएको खाद्य नखानु रगत नखानु निमोठेर मारेका पशू नखानु र कुनै प्रकारको व्यभिचार नगर्नु।”‘
25But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26पावल ती चारजना मानिसहरू आफ्नो साथ लिएर गए र तिनीहरूका चोखिने उत्सवमा भाग लिए। त्यसपछि चोखिने दिनको समापन कहिले हुने अनि तिनीहरू प्रत्येकलाई भेटी दिंइने त्यसको उद्घोषणा गर्न तिनी मन्दिरभित्र गए।
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27जब सात दिन बित्न लागेको थियो कतिपय एशियाका यहूदीहरूले पावललाई मन्दिर प्रागंणमा देखे। तिनीहरूले सबै मानिसहरूलाई उत्तेजित बनाए अनि पावललाई पक्रे।
27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28तिनीहरू जोडले चिच्याए, “यहूदीहरू हो, हामीलाई सघाऊ। यही मानिस हो जसले मोशाको व्यस्थाको विरूद्ध, आफ्नै मानिसहरूका विरुद्ध, यी मन्दिरको विरुद्ध, शिक्षा दिइरहेछ। यो मानिसले यी कुराहरू सबै मानिसहरूलाई चारैतिर सिकाइरहेछ। अनि उसले कतिपय गैर-यहूदीहरूलाई मन्दिरको प्राङ्गणमा ल्याएकोछ। उसले यस पवित्र ठाउँलाई अशुद्ध पारेको छ!”
28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”
29यहूदीहरूले यसो भनेको कारण उनीहरूले एफिससका त्रोफिमसलाई पावलसंग यरूशलेमा देखेका थिए अनि सोचे कि उनलाई पावलले मन्दिर क्षेत्रभित्र ल्याएको छ।
29For they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30यरूशलेममा खलबल मच्चियो। मानिसहरू सबै तिरबाट दौडेर आए अनि पावललाई पक्रे अनि तानेर मन्दिरको क्षेत्रबाट बाहिर निकाले। मन्दिरको प्रवेशद्वारहरू तुरुन्तै बन्द भए।
30All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31जब मानिसहरूको भीडले पावललाई मार्न तरखर गर्दै थिए रोमन सेनापतिले सम्पूर्ण शहरमा गण्डागोल भइरेको सूचना पाए।
31As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32सेनापति तुरन्त त्यस ठाउँमा केही सेना अधिकारीहरू र सेनाहरू साथमा लिएर पुगे। मानिसहरूले सेनापति र सेनाहरू आएका देखे, तिनीहरूले पावललाई कुटपिट गर्न छोडे।
32Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33तब सेनापति पावलको छेउमा गएर पक्राउ गरे। सेनापतिले आफ्ना सेनाहरूलाई पावललाई दुइवटा सागँलाहरूले बाँध्नु भनी हूकूम दिए। त्यसपछि सेनापतिले सोधे, “यो मानिस को हो? उसले के गल्ती गरेको छ?”
33Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34कतिपय मानिसहरूले एक थरीका कुराहरू गरिरहेका थिए अनि अन्य कतिपय मानिसहरूले अर्को थरीका कुराहरू गरिरेहका थिए।। यस्तो अन्योलका कुराहरूले गर्दा सेनापतिले सत्य कुरा पत्ता लगाउन सकेनन। तसर्थ, सेनापतिले सेनाहरूलाई सेना भवनमा पावललाई लैजान भन्ने हुकूम गरे।
34Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
35When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
36for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37सेनाहरू पावललाई सैन्य भवनमा लैजान तयार थिए। तर पावल सेनापतिसंग बोले। उनले सोधे, “तपाईंलाई केही भन्न सक्छु?” सेनापतिले भने, “अरे! तिमी ग्रीक भाषा बोल्छौ?”
37As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38मैले सोचेको मानिस तिमी होइन रहेछौ? मैले तिमीलाई मिश्रदेशवासी सम्झिरहेको थिएँ जसले (सरकाको विरुद्ध) केही अघि विद्रोह गर्न थालेको थियो। र उ मरुद्यानमा चार हजार ज्यानमाराहरूका अगुवा भएका थिए।”
38Aren’t you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39पावलले भने, “म सिलिसियाका देशबाट आएको यहूदी हुँ म त्यहाँ प्रसिद्ध शहर टार्ससको नागरिक हुँ। दया गरेर मलाई मानिसहरूसंग बोल्न दिनुहोस्।”
39But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40सेनापतिले पावललाई मानिसहरूसंग बोल्नु अनुमति दिए। यसकारण उनी सिढीमा उभिए अनि उनले हातको इशाराले मानिसहरू शान्त हुनु भने। जब मानिसहरू शान्त भए पावल तिनीहरूसंग बोले। उनले यहूदी भाषामा तिनीहरूसंग बोले।
40When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
