అపొస్తలుల కార్యములు 6
1 ఆ దినములలో శిష్యుల సంఖ్య విస్తరించుచున్నప్పుడు అనుదిన పరిచర్యలో తమలోని విధవరాండ్రను చిన్నచూపు చూచిరని హెబ్రీయులమీద గ్రీకుభాష మాట్లాడు యూదులు సణుగసాగిరి.
2 అప్పుడు పండ్రెండుగురు అపొస్తలులు తమయొద్దకు శిష్యుల సమూహమును పిలిచిమేము దేవుని వాక్యము బోధించుట మాని, ఆహారము పంచిపెట్టుట యుక్తముకాదు.
3 కాబట్టి సహోదరులారా, ఆత్మతోను జ్ఞానముతోను నిండుకొని మంచిపేరు పొందిన యేడుగురు మనుష్యులను మీలో ఏర్పరచుకొనుడి. మేము వారిని ఈ పనికి నియమింతుము;
4 అయితే మేము ప్రార్థనయందును వాక్యపరిచర్యయందును ఎడతెగక యుందుమని చెప్పిరి.
5 ఈ మాట జనసమూహమంతటికి ఇష్టమైనందున వారు, విశ్వాసముతోను పరిశుద్ధాత్మతోను నిండుకొనినవాడైన స్తెఫను, ఫిలిప్పు, ప్రొకొరు, నీకా నోరు, తీమోను, పర్మెనాసు, యూదుల మతప్రవిష్టుడును అంతియొకయవాడును అగు నీకొలాసు అను వారిని ఏర్ప రచుకొని
6 వారిని అపొస్తలులయెదుట నిలువబెట్టిరి; వీరు ప్రార్థనచేసి వారిమీద చేతులుంచిరి.
7 దేవుని వాక్యము ప్రబలమై శిష్యుల సంఖ్య యెరూష లేములో బహుగా విస్తరించెను; మరియు యాజకులలో అనేకులు విశ్వాసమునకు లోబడిరి.
8 స్తెఫను కృపతోను బలముతోను నిండినవాడై ప్రజల మధ్య మహత్కార్యములను గొప్ప సూచక క్రియలను చేయుచుండెను.
9 అప్పుడు లిబెర్తీనులదనబడిన సమాజము లోను, కురేనీయుల సమాజములోను, అలెక్సంద్రియుల సమాజములోను, కిలికియనుండియు ఆసియనుండియు వచ్చినవారిలోను, కొందరు వచ్చి స్తెఫన
10 మాటలాడుటయందు అతడు అగపరచిన జ్ఞానమును అతనిని ప్రేరేపించిన ఆత్మను వారెదిరింపలేకపోయిరి.
11 అప్పుడు వారువీడు మోషేమీదను దేవునిమీదను దూషణవాక్యములు పలుకగా మేము వింటిమని చెప్పుటకు మనుష్యులను కుదుర్చుకొని
12 ప్రజలను పెద్దలను శాస్త్రులను రేపి అతనిమీదికి వచ్చి
13 అతనిని పట్టుకొని మహాసభ యొద్దకు తీసికొనిపోయి అబద్ధపు సాక్షులను నిలువబెట్టిరి. వారుఈ మనుష్యుడెప్పుడును ఈ పరిశుద్ధ స్థలమునకును మన ధర్మ శాస్త్రమునకును విరోధముగా వ
14 ఈ నజరేయుడైన యేసు ఈ చోటును పాడుచేసి, మోషే మనకిచ్చిన ఆచారములను మార్చునని వీడు చెప్పగా మేము వింటిమనిరి.
15 సభలో కూర్చున్న వారందరు అతనివైపు తేరిచూడగా అతని ముఖము దేవదూత ముఖమువలె వారికి కనబడెను.
1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
John 1 in Tamil and English
1 संसार सृष्टि हुन पहिल्यै त्यहाँ वचनथियो। त्यो वचन परमेश्वरसंग थियो, अनि वचननै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 उहाँको वचन शुरूमा परमेश्वसंग हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 र उहाँकै माध्यमबाट विश्व सृजना हुन सक्यो। उहाँ बिना केही सृजना हुन सकेन।
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 उहाँ स्वयं जीवन हुनुहुन्थयो। त्यो जीवन मानिसहरूको निम्ति ज्योति थियो।
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 त्यो ज्योति अँध्यारोमा चम्कन्छ। अनि अन्धकारले ज्योतिलाई जित्न सक्दैन।
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 परमेश्वरद्वारा पठाइएको यूहन्ना नाउँका एकजना मानिस थिए।
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 यूहन्ना त्यही ज्योतिको विषयमा साक्षी दिन आएका थिए। उनकै माध्यमद्वारा मानिसहरूले ज्योति र विश्वासबारे जान्न-सुन्न पाए।
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 यूहन्ना ज्योति थिएनन्, तर उनी ज्योतिको बारेमा साक्षी दिन आएका थिए।
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 सत्य-ज्योति संसारमा आइरहकाछन् भनेर उनले बताई दिए। त्यो ज्योतिले सम्पूर्ण मानिसहरूलाई ज्योति दिनेछ।
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 उहाँ संसारका हुनुहुन्थ्यो, संसार उहाँद्वारा हुन आयो, तर संसारले उहाँलाई चिनेन।
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 उहाँ स्वयंले सृजना गरेको संसारमा आउनु भयो तर उहाँको आफ्नो मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरेनन्।
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 केही मानिसहरूले मात्र उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरे। ज-जसले उहाँलाई स्वीकार गरे उनीहरूलाई मात्र परमेश्वरको सन्तान हुने अधिकार उहाँले दिनुभयो।
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 ती बालकहरू प्राकृतिक तवरबाट जन्मेका थिएनन्। तिनीहरू आफ्नो आमा-बाबुको शारीरिक इच्छा अथवा निर्णयबाट जन्मेका थिएनन्। बद्लामा तिनीहरू परमेश्वरबाट जन्मेका थिए।
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 वचन शरीर हुन आए र हामी माझ बसे। हामीले उहाँको महिमा देख्यौं, अनि हामीले पिताका एकमात्र पुत्रको महिमा जस्तो उहाँको महिमा देख्यौं। वचन अनुग्रह र सत्यताले पूर्ण थियो।
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 यूहन्नाले ख्रीष्टकै सम्बन्धमा मानिसहरूलाई भने, “उहाँ एकजना हुनुहन्छ जसका विषयमा म भनिरहेको थिंए, ‘जो म पछि आउनु हुन्छ, उहाँ मभन्दा महान हुनुहुन्छ। किनभने उहाँ मभन्दा पहिल्यै आउनु भएको थियो।
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 उहाँ वचन अनुग्रह र सत्यको भण्डार हुनुहुन्छ। हामीले उहाँबाट धेरै आशिष पाएका छौं।
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 मोशाबाट व्यवस्था प्रदान गरिएको थियो तर अनुग्रह र सत्यको बाटो येशू ख्रीष्टबाटै आयो।
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 कसैले पनि कहिल्यै परमेश्वरलाई देखेका छैनन्। तर एकमात्र पुत्र जो परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ अनि जो पिताको अति नजिकमा हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँले हामीलाई परमेश्वर चिनाउनु भएकोछ।
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 यरूशलेममा यहूदीहरूले केही पूजाहारीहरू र लेवीहरू यूहन्नाकहाँ पठाए। तिनीहरूलाई यूहन्ना लाई “तिमी को हौ?” भनि सोध्न पठाए।
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20 यूहन्नाले प्रत्युत्तर दिनलाई हिच्किचाएनन्, खुलस्त भनी दिए, “म ख्रीष्ट होइन।”
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 यहूदीहरूले यूहन्नालाई सोधे, “तब तिमी को हौ? तिमा एलिया हौ?” यूहन्नाले उत्तर दिए, “होइन, म एलिया होइन।”यहूदीहरूले सोधे, “के तिमी अगमवक्ता हौ?”यूहन्नाले उत्तर दिए, “होइन, म अगमवक्ता होइन।”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
22 तब यहूदीहरूले सोधे, “तब तिमी को हौ? आफ्नो विषयमा हामीलाई बताऊ कि जसले हामीलाई पठाए तिनीहरूलाई बताउन सकूँ। तिम्रो विषयमा तिमी के भन्छौ?”
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 यूहन्नाले तिनीहरूलाई अगमवक्ता यशैयाको वाणीहरू भने“मरूभूमिमा चिच्याई हिंड्ने मानिसको म आवाज हुँ, ‘परमप्रभुको निम्ति मार्ग सोझो बनाऊ भन्दै।”‘
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24 ती यहूदीहरूलाई फरिसीरूले पठाएका थिए।
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25 तिनीहरूले यूहन्नालाई सोधे, “यदि तिमी ख्रीष्ट होइनौ, एलिया होइनौं, अगमवक्ता पनि होइनौ भने किन तिमी मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिन्छौ?”
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26 यूहन्नाले उत्तर दिए, “म पानीले मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिन्छु। तर एकजना मानिस तिमीहरूसंगै अहिले हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई तिमाहरू चिन्दैनौ।
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27 ती एक मात्र मानिस जो मेरो पछाडि आउनुहुन्छ, जसको म जुत्ताको फित्ता खोल्ने योग्य सम्म छैन।”
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28 यी सबै कुराहरू यर्दन नदीको अर्को स्थान बेथानीयमा भइसकेको हो। त्यो जहाँ यूहन्नाले मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिइरहेका थिए।
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 अर्को दिन येशूलाई आफूतिर आइरहनु भएको यूहन्नाले देखेर भने, “हेर, परमेश्वरका थुमा जसले संसारको पापहरू उठाई लाने छ।
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
30 त्यो उही हो जसको विषयमा मैले भनेको थिएँ। ‘एकजना पुरुष मेरो पछि आउनेवाला हुनुहुन्छ जो मभन्दा महान हुनुहुन्छ किनभने उहा मभन्दा पहिले नै अस्तित्वमा हुनु हुन्थ्यो।’
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
31 उहाँ को हुनुहुन्छ भनेर पनि मैले जानेको थिइन, तर म मानिसहरूलाई पानीले बप्तिस्मा दिदै आँए ताकि यहूदीहरूले जानुन् कि उहाँ ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ।
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32 तब यूहन्नाले भने, “ख्रीष्ट को थिए भनेर पनि जान्दिन थिएँ। तर परमेश्वरले मलाई पानीले मानिसहरूलाई बप्तिस्मा दिन पठाउनु भएको हो।
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
33 अनि परमेश्वरले मलाई भन्नुभयो, ‘तिमीले आत्मा ओर्लिदै एक जना मानिसमाथि बसेको देख्नेछौ। त्यही मानिसले पवित्र आत्माद्वारा बप्तिस्मा दिनेछन्।”‘ यूहन्नाले भने, ‘मैले यो सबै भइरहेको देखेकोछु। मैले स्वर्गबाट आत्मा ओलंदै गरेको देखें। मैले पवित्र आत्मालाई ढुक्कुर जस्तै देखें अनि उहाँमाथि बसेको देखें।
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 मैले यो देखेको हुँ र म गवाही पनि दिन्छु कि उहाँ परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ।”
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 अर्को दिन फेरि यूहन्ना त्यहाँ उपस्थित थिए। उनिसँग उहाँका दुइजना चेलाहरू थिए।
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 यूहन्नाले येशू हिडिरहेका देखे र उनोले भने, “हेर, परमेश्वरका थुमा।”
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 यूहन्नाको कुरा सुनिसके पछि ती दुइ चेलाहरू येशूको पछि लागे।
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 येशूले फर्केर हेर्नु भयो र उहाँको पछि ती दुइजना चेला आहरहेको देखेर उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू के चाहन्छौ?”ती दूइजनाले भने, “रब्बी, तपाँईं कहाँ बस्नुहुन्छ?”
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39 येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो, “मसँग आओ अनि तिमीहरूले देख्नेछौ।” तब ती दुइजना येशूसंग गए। तिनीहरूले येशू बस्नु भएको ठाउँ देखे। त्यस दिन येशूसंगै तिनीहरू वास बसे। त्यसबेला चार बजी सकेको थियो।
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
40 यूहन्नाबाट येशूको विषयमा जाने पछि तिनीहरू येशूकै पछि लागे। ती दुइजना मध्ये एकजनाको नाउँ अन्द्रियास थियो। तिनी शिमोन पत्रुसका भाइ थिए।
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 पहिले अन्द्रियसले आफ्नो भाइ शिमोनलाई खोज्ने काम गरे। शिमोनलाई अन्द्रियासले भने, “हामीले मसीह पाएकोछौं”
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
42 तब शिमोनलाई अनिद्रयासले येशूकहाँ ल्याए। येशूले शिमोनतर्फ हेर्दै भन्नु भयो, “तिमी यूहन्नाको छोरो शिमोन हौ। तिमीलाई केफासभनेर भनिन्छ।”
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 अर्को दिन गालील जान येशूले निश्चय गर्नुभयो। येशूले फिलिपलाई भेटनुभयो र भन्नुभयो “मलाई पछ्याउ।”
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
44 अन्द्रियास र पत्रुस जस्तै फिलिप पनि बेथसेदा शहरका थिए।
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 फिलिपले नथानेललाई भेट्टाए र भने, “मोशाले व्यवस्थामा के लेख्नु भएको थियो सम्झ। मोशाले एकजना मानिस आइरहेछ भनी लेख्नु भएको थियो जो आइरहेको छ। अगमवक्ताहरूले पनि उहाँको विषयमा लेख्नु भएको थियो। हामीले उहाँलाई नै पायौं। उहाँको नाउँ येशू हो, योसेफका पुत्र। उहाँ नासरतका हुनुहुन्छ।”
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 तर नथानेलले फिलिपलाई सोधे, “के नासरतबाट केही असल कुरो आउन सक्छ?”फिलिपले उत्तर दिए, “आएर अनि हेर।”
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 येशूले नथानेललाई आफूतर्फ आइरहेको देख्नु भयो र भन्नुभयो, “यो आइरहेको मान्छे साँच्चि नै एकजना इस्राएली हुन्। उनमा त्यस्तो कुनै खराबी छैन।”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 नथानेलले उहाँलाई सोधे, “मलाई कसरी तपाईंले चिन्नुहुन्छ?”येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो, “फिलिपले तिमीसंग मेरो विषयमा बात गर्न भन्दा पहिल्यै तिमी नेभारको रूखमुनि हुँदा नै तिमीलाई देखें।”
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 तब नथानेलले येशूलाई भने, “रब्बी तपाई परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुनुहुन्छ। तपाईंनै इस्राएलका राजा हुनुहुन्छ।”
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
50 येशूले नथानेललाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमी यसकारण विश्वास गर्दैछौ कि मैले तिमीलाई नेभारको रूखमनि देखेको थिएँ भनेर? तिमीले यो भन्दा महान चीज देख्नेछौ।”
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 तब येशूले पनि भन्नुभयो, “म तिमीलाई सत्य भन्नेछु। तिमीहरू सबैले स्वर्ग उघ्रिएको देख्नेछौ अनि तिमीले ‘परमेश्वरका स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई मानिसको पुत्रमाथि जाँदै तल आँउदै, गरेको देख्नेछौं।”‘ 52
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
