प्रेरित 26:1-11

1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:

7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

1 अग्रिपाले पावललाई भने, “तिमी आफ्नो सुरक्षाको लागि बोल्न सक्नेछौ।”यसर्थ पावलले आफ्नो हात उठाए अनि यसो भन्दै बोल्न थाले।
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

2 “राजा अग्रिपा, तपाईंहरू अघि उभिन पाउनु मेरो भाग्य हो, यहूदीहरूले ममाथि थोपरेको दोषहरूको म जम्मै उत्तर दिनेछु।
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

3 म अत्यन्तै खुशी छु कि म तपाईंहरूको सामुन्ने बोल्न योग्यको छु किनभने तपाईंहरू यहूदी रीतिहरू र प्रश्नहरू जुन विषयमा तिनीहरूले र्तक गर्छन सो जान्नु हुन्छ। कृपाया धैर्यसाथ मेरो कुरा सुनिदिनु होस्।
Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

4 “सबै यहूदीहरूले मेरो सम्पूर्ण जीवनको विषयमा जान्दछन्। मेरो देशमा अनि यरूशलेममा पनि मेरो जीवन शैलीको विषयमा तिनीहरू जान्दछन्।
My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

5 यी यहूदीहरूले धेरै समयदेखि मलाई चिन्छन्। यदि तिनीहरूले इच्छा गरे मलाई एक असल फरिसी मान्न सक्छन्। अनि फरिसीहरूले यहूदी धर्मको व्यवस्थाहरू अन्य कुनै यहूदी समुदायले भन्दा अझ कट्टर प्रकारले मान्दछन।
Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

6 परमेश्वरले हाम्रा पिता-पुर्खाहरूलाई दिनुभएको प्रतिज्ञाको भरोसामा म यस परीक्षामा अहिले खडा छु।
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:

7 यो प्रतिज्ञा प्राप्त गर्ने आशामा हाम्रा बाह्र जातिहरू निमग्न रात-दिन परमेश्वरको आराधना गरिरहेका छन्। हे राजान्, यही आशाको निम्ति म यी यहूदीहरूद्वारा दोषिएको हुँ।
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

8 तपाईंहरूलाई परमेश्वरले मरेको मानिसहरू बौराँउनु हुन्छ भन्ने कुरा ग्रहण गर्न किन अप्ठेरो परेको?
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

9 “जब म फरिसी थिएँ, मैले यस्तो पनि सोचे कि नासरतका येशूको नाउँ विरुद्ध धेरै कुराहरू मैले गर्नुपर्छ।
I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 अनि यरूशलेममा मैले विश्वासीहरूका विरुद्ध धेरै कामहरू गरें। मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूले ती विश्वासीहरूलाई जेलमा थुन्ने अधिकार दिएका थिए। जब येशूका विश्वासीहरू मारिए मैले यो राम्रो कुरा भयो भनेर सहमत दिएँ।
Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

11 जम्मै सभाघरहरूमा मैले तिनीहरूलाई धेरै पल्ट येशूको विषयमा जबरजस्ती नराम्रो कुरो भनाएर दण्ड दिएँ। म यति क्रोधित थिएँ कि म विदेशका शहरहरूमा पनि तिनीहरूको खेदो लाउनु गएँ।
And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
