प्रेरित 18

1 पछि, पावलले एथेन्स छोडे अनि कोरिन्थ गए।

2 तिनले त्यहाँ अक्वीला नाउँ भएको एकजना यहूदी भेटे। अक्वीला पोन्टस भन्ने प्रदेशमा जन्मिएका थिए। तर उनी र उनकी पत्नी प्रिस्किला भर्खरै इटालीबाट कोरिन्थ आइपुगेका थिए किनभने क्लौडियसले सबै रोम छोडनु पर्छ भन्ने आदेश गरेका थिए। पावल तिनीहरूलाई भेट्न गए।

3 तिनीहरूले पावलले जस्तै तम्बू बनाउने काम गथेर्। पावल तिनीहरू संगै बसे र तिनीहरूसंग तम्बू बनाउने काम गरे।

4 प्रत्येक विश्रामको दिन पावल सभाघरमा यहूदीहरू र ग्रीकहरूसंग कुरा गर्थे। तिनले येशूमा विश्वास पार्न लगातार तिनीहरूमाथि प्रयत्न गरिरहे।

5 सिलास र तिमोथी म्यासिडोनियाबाट पावललाई भेट्न कोरिन्थमा आए। त्यसपछि आफ्नो समय मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार भन्नमा बिताए। उनले यहूदीहरूलाई येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुन भनेर देखाए।

6 तर यहूदीहरूले पावलको शिक्षाहरू ग्रहण गरेनन्। यहूदीहरले एगदमै निन्दनीय वचनहरू लगाए। यसकारण पावलले आफ्नो लुगाहरूबाट धुला झारे। उनले यहूदीहरूलाई भने, “यदी तिमीहरू मुक्ति चाँहदैनौ भने, त्यो तिमीहरूकै गल्ती हुनेछ! मैले आफूले सक्दो गरें। अब म गैर-यहूदीहरूकहाँ जानेछू।”

7 पावल सभाघरबाट बिदा लिए अनि टाइटस जुसटस नाउँ भएको मानिसको घरमा गए। त्यस मानिस सत्य परमेश्वरको पूजाहारी थियो। उसको घर सभाघरकै अर्कोपट्टि थियो।

8 क्रिस्पस सभाघरको प्रमुख थिए। क्रिस्पस र अन्य सबै मानिसहरू जो उनको घरमा बस्दथे उनीहरूले प्रभुमा विश्वास गरे। कोरिन्थका धेरै मानिसहरूले पनि पावल को समाचार गरे। कोरिन्थका धेरै मानिसहरूले पनि पावलको समाचार ध्यान लगाएर सुने अनि विश्वास गरे अनि बप्तिस्मा लिए।

9 राति पावलले दर्शन पाए। यो दर्शनमा प्रभुले तिनलाई भने, “नडराऊ! लगातार मानिसहरूसंग बोलिरहौ! नरोक!

10 म तिमीसंग छु। तिमीलाई नोक्सान पार्न कुनै प्रयत्न सफल हुदैंन। मेरा धेरै मानिसहरू यस शहरमा छन्।”

11 पावल त्यहाँ डेढ र्वषसम्म बसे, अनि तिनीहरू माझ परमेश्वरको वचनको शिक्षा दिए।

12 गल्लियो अखैया अञ्चलका राज्यपाल भए। कोही यहूदीहरूले उनीसित नयायलयमा लगे।

13 यहूदीहरूले गल्लियोलाई भने, “यस मानिसले हाम्रो कानूनको विरुद्ध ईश्वर पूज्नु भनेर मानिसहरूलाई फकाउने चेष्टा गर्दैछ!”

14 पावलले केही भन्न लागेका थिए तर गल्लियोले यहूदीहरूलाई भने, “यदि यी कुराहरू गल्ती अथवा अपराधपूर्ण कामका भए म तिमीहरूका कुरा सुन्ने थिएँ।

15 तर यी शब्दहरू, नाउँहरू र तिमीहरूकै व्यवस्था विषयको हो। यसर्थ यी समस्याहरू तिमीहरू आफैं मिलाऊ। म त्यस्ता प्रकारका कुराहरूमा न्यायकर्ता हुन चाहन्न।”

16 तब तिनीहरूलाई गल्लियोले न्यायलयबाट विदा दिए।

17 तब तिनीहरूले सभाघरका अध्यक्ष सोस्थेनिजलाई पक्रे अनि न्यायलय सामुन्ने तिनलाई कुटे। तर गल्लियोले यसमा केही चासो देखाएन।

18 पावल दाज्यु-भाइहरूसंग धेरै दिन बसे। त्यपछि विदा लिएर जलपथबाट सिरिया गए। प्रिस्किला र अक्वीला पनि तिनीसँगै थिए। किंक्रियामा परमेश्वरसंग आफ्नो प्रतिज्ञा पुरा गर्न पावलले आफ्नो केश कटाए।

19 त्यसपछि तिनीहरू एफिसस्‌मा गए। त्यहाँ तिनले प्रिस्किला र अक्वीलालाई छाडी राखे। तिनी एफिसस्‌मा हुँदा सभाघरमा गए अनि यहूदीहरूसंग बात गरे।

20 तिनीहरूले पावललाई अझै केही दिन सम्म बस्ने आग्रह गरे तर तिनले मानेनन्।

21 पावलले विदा लिएर हिंड्ने बेलामा भने, “यदि परमेश्वरको इच्छा भयो भने म तपाईंहरूकोमा आउनेछु।” अनि तिनी एफिससबाट जल यात्रा गरेर गए।

22 पावल सिजरिया शहरमा गए। तब मण्डलीलाई अभिवादन गर्न उनी यरूशलेम सम्म गए अनि तब एन्टिओक झरे।

23 त्यहाँ तिनी केही समय बसे। त्यसपछि त्यहाँबाट तिनी गलातिया र फ्रिगिया प्रदेशहरूमा गए। अनि चेलाहरूको उत्साह बढाए।

24 अपोल्लस नाउँ भएको एकजना यहूदी एफिससमा आए। उनी एलेक्जेन्ड्रिया भन्ने शहरमा जन्मिएका थिए। उनी एक विद्वान मानिस थिए। उनलाई धर्मशास्त्रमाथि राम्रो ज्ञान थियो।

25 उनले प्रभुको मार्गको विषयमा राम्ररी सिकेका थिए अनि पुरा उत्साहित थिए। येशूका विषयमा उनले जे जति कुरा गरे सबै सही थियो। तर उनले यूहन्नाले बातएको बप्तिस्माको विषयमा मात्र जान्दथे।

26 उनी सभाघरमा निर्धक्क बोल्न थाले। प्रिस्किला र अक्वीलाले उनले भनेको सुने। तिनीहरूले उनलाई आफ्नो घरमा लगे अनि परमश्वरको बाटोको विषयमा उनलाई अझ स्पष्ट पारेर बुझाई दिए।

27 अपोल्लस अखैया देशमा जान इच्छुक थिए। यसैले एफिससका दाज्युभाइहरूले उनलाई सहयोग गरे। अखैयामा भएका येशूका चेलाहरूलाई तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ अपोल्लासलाई ग्रहण गर्नु भनि चिट्ठी लेखे. अखैयामा प्रभुको अनुग्रहले गर्दा येशू प्रति यी चेलाहरूको विश्वास थियो अनि अपोल्लस तिनीहरूको ठूलो सहायक बने।

28 उनले सबै मानिसहरूका समक्ष यहूदीहरूको विरोधमा वहस गरे। अपोल्लासले प्रत्यक्ष यहूदीहरू गल्ती भएको प्रमाण गरे। उनले धर्मशास्त्रको आधारमा येशू नै ख्रीष्ट हुन भन्ने प्रमाण दिए

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.

3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.

17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
