Acts 16:16-39 in Nepali

16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

16 एक समय जब हामी प्रार्थना स्थलमा गइरहेको बेला यो घटना घट्यो। एउटी नोकर्नी केटीले हामीलाई भेटी। उभित्र एउटा खास आत्मा थियो। त्यस आत्माले उसलाई भविष्यमा के हुन सक्छ भन्ने कुरा बताउने शक्ति दियो। त्यसो गरेर त्यस नोकर्नीले आफ्नो मालिकहरूको निम्ति धेरै पैसा कमाउने गर्थी।
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

17 त्यस केटीले पावल र हामीलाई पछ्याई। त्यो चिच्याई अनि भनी, “यी मानिसहरू एकदमै सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको दास हुन्! तिनीहरूले मुक्तिको बाटो तिमीहरूलाई बताइरहेछन।”
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

18 उसले यस्तो धेरै दिनसम्म गरी। यसले पावललाई दिक्क लाग्यो अनि यसैले उ फर्क्यो अनि त्यो आत्मालाई भन्यो, “येशू ख्रीष्टको शक्तिले म तँलाई आज्ञा गर्छु, त्यस केटीबाट बाहिर निस्की!” त्यो आत्मा लगत्तै बाहिर निस्क्यो।
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

19 यस केटीका मालिकहरूले त्यो देखे अनि तिनीहरूलाई थाहा भयो अनि तिनीहरूले बुझे कि अब त्यस केटीलाई पैसा कमाउन सक्तैनन्। यसैले तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई पक्रे अनि मुख्य ठाउँमा पुर्याए जहाँ शहर अधिकारीहरू थिए।
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

20 पावल र सिलासलाई पक्रेर ल्याए अनि हाकिमहरूलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरू यहूदी हुन्। यिनीहरूले हाम्रो शहरमा गडबडी गराईरहेछन्।
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 यिनीहरूले रीति-थितिहरू सिकाउँदैछन जो हामीलाई ग्रहण गर्न अनुमति छैन्। हामी रोमन नागरिकहरू हौं र ती कुराहरू गर्न सक्तैर्नौ।”
And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

22 भीडले मानिसहरूलाई पावल र सिलासमाथि आक्रमण गर्न साथ दियो। त्यहाँका हाकिमहरूले पावल र सिलासको लुगाहरू च्याती दिए र मानिसहरूलाई कुट्ने आदेश दिए।
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.

23 तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई धेरैपल्ट कुट-पिट गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई जेलमा थुने। जेलका अधिकारीलाई तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनीहरूलाई खुबै होशियारी साथ पहरा दिनु!”
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24 जेलको अधिकारीले त्यस्तो विशेष आदेश सुनेपछि पावल र सिलासलाई निक्कै भित्र पुग्ने जेलमा थुने। उनले तिनीहरूका खुट्टा ठिङ्गुरामा कसे।
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 मध्यरात तिर पावल र सिलासले प्रार्थना गर्दै र प्रभुको भजनहरू गाईरहेका थिए। अन्य कैदीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई सुने।
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 अचानक त्यहाँ ठूलो भूईंचालो आयो जसले जेलको जग पनि हल्लियो। त्यसपछि तुरुन्तै जेलको सबै ढोकाहरू खोलिए। सबै कैदीहरू बाँधिएका साङ्गलाहरूबाट मुक्त भए।
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 जब जेल अधिकारी जागे। उनले जेलका सबै ढोकाहरू खोलिएका देखे। कैदीहरू अघि नै भागी सेकको कुरा उसले सोच्यो। यसकारण तरवार निकालेर जेल अधिकारी आफैलाई मार्न तयार भएको थियो।
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 तर पावल चिच्यायो, “आफैलाई घात नगर। हामी सबै जना यहीं छौं।”
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 जेल अधिकारीले बत्ती ल्याउन आदेश गरे। त्यसपछि उ डरले काम्दै भित्र दौड्यो उ पावल र सिलासको सामु लड्यो।
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्यो अनि भन्यो, “महोदयहरू! मुक्ति पाउनलाई मैले के गर्नु पर्ला?”
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “प्रभु येशूमा विश्वास गर तब तिमी र तिम्रो घरका मानिसहरूले मुक्ति पाउनेछन्।”
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 यसर्थ पावल र सिलासले प्रभुको सन्दश जेल अधिकारी र उसको घरमा भएका सबैलाई भने।
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

33 निक्कै रात छिप्पिसकेको थियो, त्यसकारण जेल अधिकारीले पावल र सिलासलाई ल्याएर तिनीहरूका घाउहरू धोइदिए। तुरन्तै जेल अधिकारी र उसका जम्मै कुटुम्बलाई बप्तिस्मा दिइयो।
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

34 तब जेल अधिकारीले पावल र सिलासलाई आफ्नो घर लगे अनि केही भोजन गराए। उ र उसको कुटुम्बका सबै मानिसहरू अत्यन्तै खुशी भए किनभने तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरलाई विश्वास गरेका थिए।
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

35 अर्को बिहान हाकामहरूले केही सिपाही हरूलाई जेल अधिकारीकहाँ खबर दिएर पठाए; “ती मानिसहरूलाई छोडिदिनु!”
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 जेल अधिकारीले पावललाई भन्यो, “हाकीमहरूले यी सिपाहीहरू तपाईंहरूलाई छोडन लाउन पठाएका हुन्। तपाईंहरू अब शान्तिले जान सक्नु हुन्छ।”
And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

37 तर पावलले सिपाहीहरूलाई भने, “तिम्रा हाकीमहरूले हामीले गल्ती गरेको कारण प्रमाण गर्न सकेनन्। तर तिमीहरूले हामीलाई मानिसहरूका अगाडी कुट-पिट गरे अनि जेलमा थुने। हामी रोमी नागरिक हौं, यसैले हाम्रो अधिकार छ। अहिले तिनीहरूले हामीलाई गुप्ती रूपमा पठाउन चाहन्छन्? होइन! तिनीहरू स्वयं आउनु पर्छ अनि हामीलाई बाहिर निकाल्नु पर्छ।”
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

38 सिपाहीहरूले जे पावलले भने ती हाकीमहरूलाई सुनाई दिए। जब हाकीमहरूले पावल र सिलास रोमी नागरीक भनेर जाने, तिनीहरू भयग्रस्त भए।
And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

39 यसकारण तिनीहरू पावल र सिलासकहाँ आएर आफ्नो भूल प्रति क्षमा - याचना गरे। तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई जेलबाट निकालेर शहर छाडी जाऊ भने।
And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
