1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. On Cyprus 4The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. 5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper. 6They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10“You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord. In Pisidian Antioch 13From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem. 14From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down. 15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please speak.” 16Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! 17The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country; 18for about forty years he endured their conduct 20All this took about 450 years. “After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet. 21Then the people asked for a king, and he gave them Saul son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years. 22After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ 23“From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised. 24Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel. 25As John was completing his work, he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for. But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’ 26“Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. 27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. 30But God raised him from the dead, 31and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people. 32“We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors 33he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: “ ‘You are my son; today I have become your father.’ 34God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said, “ ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’ 35So it is also stated elsewhere: “ ‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’ 37But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. 38“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. 40Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you: 41“ ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’ 43When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. 44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him. 46Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “ ‘I have made you 48When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. 49The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. 52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. In Iconium 1At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed. 2But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders. 4The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles. 5There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them. 6But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7where they continued to preach the gospel. In Lystra and Derbe 8In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. 9He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed 10and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. 11When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” 12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. 13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them. 14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15“Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human, like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything in them. 16In the past, he let all nations go their own way. 17Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” 18Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them. 19Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe. The Return to Antioch in Syria 21They preached the gospel in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, 22strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23Paul and Barnabas appointed elders 25and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed. 27On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles. 28And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.

प्रेरित अध्याय 13 एन्टिओकको मण्डलीमा केही अगमवक्ताहरू र शिक्षकहरू थिए। तिनीहरू बर्णाबास, सिमियोन (उसलाई पनि भनिन्थ्यो) लुसियस (साइरिनीवासी) मनेन (हेरोद राजसँगै हुर्किएको मानिस) र शावल थिए। 2 ती मानिसहरू सवैले प्रभुको सेवा गरिरहेका थिए अनि उपवास लिएका थिए। पवित्र आत्माले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “खास कामको लागि मलाई बर्णाबास र शावल देऊ। मैले तिनीहरूलाई त्यो काम गर्नलाई छानेकोछु।” 3 तब तिनीहरूले उपवास र प्रार्थना गरे, तिनीहरूले बर्णाबास र शावल माथि आफ्नो हात राखे अनि बाहिर पठाए। 4 बर्णाबास र शावललाई पवित्र आत्माले पठाउनु भएको थियो। तिनीहरू सिल्युसियामा शहरतर्फ गए। तिनीहरू सिल्युसियाबाट जलयात्रा गर्दै साइप्रस पुगे। 5 तब तिनीहरू सलामिस भन्ने ठाउँमा पुगे, त्यहाँ यहूदीहरूका सभाघरहरूमा तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सुसमाचारको प्रचार गरे। यूहन्ना र मर्कूस पनि सहयोगीको रूपमा तिनीहरूलसंगै थिए। 6 तिनीहरूले सम्पूर्ण टापू पार गरेर पाफोस भन्ने शहरमा आइपुगे। तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ एक यहूदी जादूवाला भेटे। उसको नाउँ बारयेशू थियो। उनी एक झूटो अगमवक्ता थिए। 7 बारयेशू सँधैं नै र्सगियस पौलस प्रशासकसित बस्दथे। र्सगियस पौलस एक बुद्धिमानी मानिस थिए। उनले बर्णाबास र शावललाई बोलाए। उनी परमेश्वरको सन्देश सुन्न चाहन्थे। 8 तर जादूगर इलुमास बर्णाबास र शावलको विरोधमा थियो। ग्रीक भाषामा येशूलाई इलुमास भनिन्छ। इलुमासले प्रशासकलाई येशूमाथि विश्वास गर्न रोक्न चाहन्थे। 9 तर शावल पवित्र आत्माले पूर्ण भएका थिए। पावलले (शावलको अर्को नाउँ) इलुमासलाई हेरे। 10 अनि भने, “तँ शैतानको छोरो! तँ सबै सही कुराको शत्रु होस्। तँमा शैतानी छक्कापञ्जा मात्र छ। के तैले सधैं प्रभुको सत्यहरूलाई झूटहरूमा परिणत गर्न छोडदैनस्! 11 अब प्रभुले तँलाई छुनु हुनेछ अनि तुरन्तै तँ अन्धा हुनेछस्। केही समय तँ केही देख्न सक्ने छैनस् यहाँ सम्म कि घामको किरण पनि देख्दैनस्।”तुरन्तै इलुमासमाथि धुम्म अनि अन्धार झरयो। ऊ वरिपरि घुम्यो, अनि हात समातेर उसको मार्ग देखाउनलाई मानिसहरू खोज्यो। 12 जब प्रशासक र्सगियस पावलले यो देखे, उनले विश्वास गरे। प्रभुको शिक्षाको विषयमा उनी आचर्य चकित भए। 13 पावल र उनीसंग भएका मानिसहरू पाफोसबाट जहाजमा गए। तिनीहरू प्याम्फिलियाको एक शहर पर्गामा आई पुगे। तर यूहन्ना मर्कूसले तिनीहरूलाई छाडे, उनी यरूशलेम फर्के। 14 तिनीहरूले आफ्ना यात्रा जारी राखे अनि पर्गा देखि पिसिदिया शहरको एन्टिओकतिर गए। विश्रामको समयमा, तिनीहरू यहूदीहरूका सभाघरभित्र गए र बसे। 15 मोशाका नियमहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूको पुस्तकहरू पाठ गरिए। त्यसपछि सभा-घरको कर्मचारीहरूरले पावल र बर्णाबासलाई एक समाचार पठाए। यो समाचारमा भनिएको थियोः “बन्धुहरू, यदि तपाईंहरू केही भन्नुहुन्छ, जो मानिसहरूका निम्ति लाभदायक छ भने, कृपया भन्नुहोस!” 16 पावल उभिए। उनले आफ्नो हात उठाए र भने, “मेरा यहूदी दाज्यु-भाइहरू एवं अन्य जनसमूह जसले प्रभुलाई साँचो श्रद्धा गर्दछ, कृपया मेरो कुरालाई ध्यानसित सुनिदेऊ! 17 इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू छान्नु भयो। जब तिनीहरू मिश्रदेशमा परदेशी भएर बसेका थिए परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सफल गराउनका निम्ति सहयोग गर्नुभएको थियो। परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई मिश्रदेशबाट आफ्ना महान शक्तिद्वारा निकाली ल्याउनु भयो। 18 अनि परमेश्वरले उनीहरूको व्यवहार त्यस मरूभूमिमा चालीस र्वष सम्म सहनु भयो। 19 परमेश्वरले कनान देशमा सातवटा राष्ट्रहरूलाई पूर्ण ध्वंश पार्नु भयो। उहाँले ती जमीनहरू केवल उहाँका मानिसहरूलाई दिनुभयो। 20 यी सम्पूर्ण घटनाहरू लगभग् 450 र्वषको अवधि सम्म थियो।“त्यसपछि, परमेश्वरले अगमवक्ता शामूएलको अवधिसम्म तिनीहरूलाई न्यायकर्त्ताहरू दिनुभयो। 21 तब मानिसहरूले राजाको माग गरे। परमेश्वरले कीशका छोरो शावललाई दिनुभयो। शावल बिन्यामीन कुलका थिए। उनले चालीस र्वषसम्म राजा भएर राज गरे। 22 शावललाई हटाए पछि परमेश्वरले दाऊदलाई तिनीहरूका राजा बनाउनु भयो। परमेश्वरले दाऊदको विषयमा यसो भन्नु भयोः ‘यस्सीको छोरा दाऊद एउटा मानिस हो जसले मैले सोचे जस्तो सोच्छ। मैले चाहे अनुसार सबै कामहरू उसले गर्नेछ। 23 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो वचन अनुसार दाऊदको एउटा सन्तानलाई मुक्तिदाताको रूपमा इस्राएलमा पठाउनु भयो। त्यो वंशका सन्तान येशू हुनुहुन्छ। 24 येशू आउन अघि यूहन्नाले सबै यहूदीहरूमा प्रचार गरे। यूहन्नाले तिनीहरूलाई भने “तिमीहरू स्वयं परिणत हुन चाहन्छौ भनि देखाउनका निम्ति बप्तिस्मा लेऊ।” 25 यूहन्नाले आफ्नो काम सिध्याउने बेलामा भने, ‘म को हुँ भनेर तिमीहरू ठान्छौ? म ख्रीष्ट होइन। तर उहाँ, म पछि आउनु हुनेछ। म उहाँको जुत्ता फुकाल्ने सम्मको योग्यको छैन।’ 26 “मेरा दाज्यू-भाइहरू! अब्राहाम परिवारका नानीहरू अनि तिमी धर्मभीरू गैर-यहूदीहरू, ध्यान दिएर मेरो कुरा सुन। यो मुक्तिको समाचार हामीकहाँ पठाइसकेको छ। 27 यरूशलेमका निवासीहरू अनि तिनीहरूका अगुवाहरूले येशू स्वयं नै मुक्तिदाता हुन् भनेर जान्दै जानेनन्। अगमवक्ताहरूले येशूको विषयमा लेखेका शब्दहरू हरेक विश्रामका दिनमा मानिसहरू प्रति पढिन्छ तर तिनीहरूले ती बुझेनन्। यहूदीहरूले येशूलाई निन्दा गरे। तर अगमवक्ताहरूले भनेका शब्दहरू पूर्ण भयो। 28 तिनीहरूले येशू किन मर्नु पर्थ्यो भन्ने कुनै खास कारण भेटाएनन्, तर तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई मार्न भनि पिलातससित माग गरे। 29 यी यहूदीहरूले येशूको विषयमा के हुनेवाला थियो, धर्मशास्त्रमा लेखिएका सबै पुरा गरे। तब तिनीहरूले येशूलाई क्रूसबाट झारे अनि चिहानमा हाले। 30 तर परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई मृत्युबाट बौराई उठाउनु भयो! 31 यस घटना पछि, धेरै दिन, मानिसहरू जो-जो येशूसंग गालिलीदेखि यरूशलेमसम्म साथ गएका थिए उनीहरूले उहाँलाई देखे। अहिले ती मानिसहरू नै उहाँको अरू मानिसहरूका निम्ति गवाही हुन्। 32 हाम्रा पूर्वजहरूलाई दिएको प्रतिज्ञाको बारेमा सुसमाचार हामी तिमीहरूलाई भन्छौ। 33 हामी तिमीहरूका बालकहरू हौं अनि परमेश्वरले यो प्रतिज्ञा हाम्रा निम्ति येशूलाई मृत्यूबाट बौराइ उठाउनु भएर पूरा गर्नु भएको छ। हामीले भजनसंग्रहमा पनि यो कुरा पढछौः‘तिमीहरू मेरा पुत्र हौ। आज म तिमीहरूका पुर्खा भएँ। 34 परमेश्वरले येशूलाई मृत्युबाट बौराउनु भयो। येशू फेरि कहिल्यै पनि चिहानभित्र पस्नु हुनेछैन न त धुलो नै हुनुहुनेछ। तब परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयोः‘म तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र र सत्य प्रतिज्ञाहरू दिनेछु जुन मैले दाऊलाई दिएँ।’ 35 तर अर्को ठाउँमा परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छः‘तिम्रो एकजना पवित्र शरीरलाई चिहानमा कुहुन दिइने छैन।’ 36 दाऊदले आफ्नो अवधि भरि परमेश्वरको इच्छा अनुसार सेवा गरे। त्यसपछि दाऊदको मृत्यु भयो अनि उनका आफ्नै पुर्खाहरूसंग दफन गरियो। अनि उनको शरीर चिहानमा सड्यो। 37 तर ‘एक’ जसलाई परमेश्वरले मृत्युबाट बौराउनु भयो उहाँको शरीर चिहानमा कुहेन। 38 दाज्यू-भाइहरू तिमीहरूले यो बुझ्नु पर्छः उहाँको मार्फत तिमीहरूको पापहरूका निम्ति क्षमा प्रदान गरिएको छ। अनि हरेक मानिस जसले उहाँमा विश्वास गर्छ ती सबै कुराहरूबाट मुक्त गरिन्छ जसको निम्ति मोशाको व्यवस्थाले तिमीलाई मुक्त गर्न सकेन। 40 अगमवक्ताहरूले केही घटना घट्नेछ भनेर भने, ‘होशियार! सावधन! यस्तो घटना आफूमा घटन नदेऊ। अगमवक्ताले भनेः 41 ‘जसले शंका गर्छौ, सुन्! तिमीहरू छक्क पर्न सक्छौ, तर मेरो नजरदेखि टाढा हौ अनि तुरन्तै मर किनभने तिमीहरूको अवधिमा म केही गर्नेछु जुन तिमीहरू विश्वास गर्ने छैनौ। यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई त्यसको वर्णन दिंदा पनि तिमीहरूले विश्वास गर्ने छैनौ!” 42 पावल र बर्णाबासले सभाघर चोडेर गइरहेको बेला मानिसहरूले फेरि अर्को विश्रामको दिनमा आउनुहोस् भने अनि यी कुराहरूबाट अझ अधिक भन्नु होस् भनी तिनीहरूलाई विन्ती गरे। 43 सभा सिद्धिए पछि धेरै यहूदीहरूले अनि धेरै मानिसहरू जो यहूदी धर्ममा परिणत भएका थिए अनि सत्य परमेश्वरको आराधाना गैर्दथिए, तिनीहरूको पछि गए। पावल अनि बर्णाबास तिनीहरूसित बोले अनि परमेश्वरको अनुग्रह पाईरहन उत्साह दिए। 44 अर्को विश्रामको दिनमा, शहरका प्रायः जम्मै मानिसहरू प्रभुको वचन सुन्नलाई एकत्रित भए। 45 जब यहूदीहरूले ती मानिसहरूलाई त्यहाँ देखे तिनीहरूमा खूबै डाह उत्पन्न भयो। तिनीहरूले नराम्रा शब्दहरू भने अनि पावलसंग र्तक विर्तक गरे। 46 तर पावल र बर्णाबासले निडर भएर बोले। “परमेश्वरको सन्देश पहिला तिमी यहूदीहरूलाई भन्न आवश्यक थियो। तर तिमीहरूले सुन्न अस्वीकार गर्यौ। तिमीहरू आफैले आफूलाई अनन्त जीवनको निम्ति अयोग्य ठान्यौ अब हामी अन्य जातिहरू तर्फ र्फकनेछौं। 47 यही नै परमप्रभुले हामीलाई गर्नु भनि आज्ञा गर्नु भएकोछ।परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयोः‘मैले तिमीहरूलाई अन्य जातिको लागि ज्योति बनाएकोछु, ताकि तिमीहरूले मुक्तिको मार्ग सारा संसारमा देखाउन सक्छौ।”‘ 48 जब गैर यहूदीहरूले पावलले त्यसो भनेको सुने तिनीहरू खुशी भए। तिनीहरूले प्रभुको सन्देशलाई सम्मान गरे। अनि कतिपय मानिसहरूले त्यो सन्देशमा विश्वास गरे। तिनीहरु त्यही मानिसहरू थिए जसलाई अनन्त जीवनको लागि छानिएका थिए। 49 अनि प्रभुको सन्देशले सारा क्षेत्रभरि प्रचार पाइरहेथ्यो। 50 तर यहूदीहरूले शहरका कतिपय मुख्य नारीहरू जो सत्य परमेश्वरको आराधना गरिरहेका थिए, अनि मुख्य पुरूषहरूलाई पावल र बर्णाबासको विरुद्ध उस्काए। ती मानिसहरूले पावल र बर्णाबासलाई सताउने काम शुरू गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई शहरबाट बाहिर निकाले। 51 यसैकारणले पावल र बर्णाबासले तिनीहरूको विरुद्ध आफ्ना खुट्टाका धुलाहरू टक्टकाए। त्यसपछि तिनीहरू आइकोनियम भन्ने शहरतर्फ लागे। 52 तर एन्टिओकमा भएका चेलाहरू आनन्दित र पवित्र आत्माले परिपूर्ण थिए।
