Acts 17:16-33 in Nepali

16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.

21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

33 So Paul departed from among them.

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।
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

17 त्यस केटीले पावल र हामीलाई पछ्याई। त्यो चिच्याई अनि भनी, “यी मानिसहरू एकदमै सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरको दास हुन्! तिनीहरूले मुक्तिको बाटो तिमीहरूलाई बताइरहेछन।”
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

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।
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

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 they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

20 पावल र सिलासलाई पक्रेर ल्याए अनि हाकिमहरूलाई भने, “यी मानिसहरू यहूदी हुन्। यिनीहरूले हाम्रो शहरमा गडबडी गराईरहेछन्।
For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.

21 यिनीहरूले रीति-थितिहरू सिकाउँदैछन जो हामीलाई ग्रहण गर्न अनुमति छैन्। हामी रोमन नागरिकहरू हौं र ती कुराहरू गर्न सक्तैर्नौ।”
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

22 भीडले मानिसहरूलाई पावल र सिलासमाथि आक्रमण गर्न साथ दियो। त्यहाँका हाकिमहरूले पावल र सिलासको लुगाहरू च्याती दिए र मानिसहरूलाई कुट्ने आदेश दिए।
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

23 तिनीहरूले पावल र सिलासलाई धेरैपल्ट कुट-पिट गरे अनि तिनीहरूलाई जेलमा थुने। जेलका अधिकारीलाई तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनीहरूलाई खुबै होशियारी साथ पहरा दिनु!”
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

24 जेलको अधिकारीले त्यस्तो विशेष आदेश सुनेपछि पावल र सिलासलाई निक्कै भित्र पुग्ने जेलमा थुने। उनले तिनीहरूका खुट्टा ठिङ्गुरामा कसे।
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 मध्यरात तिर पावल र सिलासले प्रार्थना गर्दै र प्रभुको भजनहरू गाईरहेका थिए। अन्य कैदीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई सुने।
Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 अचानक त्यहाँ ठूलो भूईंचालो आयो जसले जेलको जग पनि हल्लियो। त्यसपछि तुरुन्तै जेलको सबै ढोकाहरू खोलिए। सबै कैदीहरू बाँधिएका साङ्गलाहरूबाट मुक्त भए।
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

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।
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

28 तर पावल चिच्यायो, “आफैलाई घात नगर। हामी सबै जना यहीं छौं।”
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

29 जेल अधिकारीले बत्ती ल्याउन आदेश गरे। त्यसपछि उ डरले काम्दै भित्र दौड्यो उ पावल र सिलासको सामु लड्यो।
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

30 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई बाहिर निकाल्यो अनि भन्यो, “महोदयहरू! मुक्ति पाउनलाई मैले के गर्नु पर्ला?”
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “प्रभु येशूमा विश्वास गर तब तिमी र तिम्रो घरका मानिसहरूले मुक्ति पाउनेछन्।”
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

32 यसर्थ पावल र सिलासले प्रभुको सन्दश जेल अधिकारी र उसको घरमा भएका सबैलाई भने।
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

33 निक्कै रात छिप्पिसकेको थियो, त्यसकारण जेल अधिकारीले पावल र सिलासलाई ल्याएर तिनीहरूका घाउहरू धोइदिए। तुरन्तै जेल अधिकारी र उसका जम्मै कुटुम्बलाई बप्तिस्मा दिइयो।
So Paul departed from among them.
