Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
येशूले आफ्ना बाह्र जना चेलालाई शिक्षा दिइसक्नुभएपछि तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा सिकाउन र प्रचार गर्न उहाँ त्यहाँबाट जानुभयो ।
2 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
अनि जब यूहन्नाले झ्यालखानाबाट ख्रीष्टले गर्नुभएका कामहरूको बारेमा सुने, उनले आफ्ना चेलाहरूद्वारा एउटा खबर पठाए,
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
र उनलाई भने, “के आउनुहुनेवाला तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ, वा कोही अर्कै मानिस हुनुहुन्छ जसको हामीले प्रतीक्षा गर्नुपर्छ?”
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले जे देखेका र सुनेका छौ, गएर यूहन्नालाई बताइदेओ ।
5 Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:
दृष्टिविहीनहरूले दृष्टि पाइरहेका छन्; लङ्गडा मानिसहरू हिँडिरहेका छन्; कुष्ठरोगीहरू शुद्ध पारिएका छन्; बहिरा मानिसहरूले फेरि सुनिरहेका छन्; मरेका मानिसहरूलाई फेरि जीवनमा फर्काइएको छ, अनि खाँचोमा परेका मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुनाइँदै छ ।
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
अनि तिनीहरू धन्यका हुन् जसले मलाई तिनीहरूका निम्ति कुनै बाधा सम्झँदैनन् ।”
7 But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?
जसै यी मानिसहरू आफ्नो बाटो लागे, येशूले भिडहरूलाई यूहन्नाको बारेमा बताउन थाल्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू उजाड-स्थानमा के हेर्न गयौ– हावाले हल्लाइरहेको निगालोलाई?
8 But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.
तिमीहरू के हेर्न बाहिर गयौ– मलमलको लुगा लगाउने मानिसलाई? वास्तवमा मलमलको कपडा लगाउने व्यक्ति त राजाहरूका दरबारहरूमा बस्छ ।
9 But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:
तर तिमीहरू के हेर्न बाहिर गयौ– के अगमवक्तालाई? हो, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, अगमवक्ताभन्दा पनि महान् व्यक्तिलाई ।
10 this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
उनी तिनै हुन् जसको बारेमा यस्तो लेखिएको छ, ‘हेर, म तिमीहरूको अगि-अगि मेरा समाचारवाहकलाई पठाउँदै छु, जसले म आउनुभन्दा अगाडि तिमीहरूका निम्ति बाटो तयार पार्नेछन् ।’
11 Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्त्रीबाट जन्मेकाहरूमा बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नाभन्दा महान् अरू कोही छैन । तरै पनि स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा कम महत्त्वको मानिस उनीभन्दा महान् हुन्छन् ।
12 But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent seize on it.
बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नाको दिनदेखि अहिलेसम्म स्वर्गको राज्यले तीव्रता भोगिरहेको छ, र उग्र मानिसहरूले यसलाई बलपूर्वक पक्रन्छन् ।
13 For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.
किनकि यूहन्ना नआन्जेलसम्म सबै अगमवक्ता र व्यवस्थाले अगमवाणी गरिरहेका थिए ।
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
अनि यदि तिमीहरूले एलियालाई पाउने इच्छा गरिरहेका छौ भने, आउनुपर्ने एलिया उनी नै हुन् ।
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
जससँग सुन्ने कान छ, त्यसले सुनोस् ।
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,
यस पुस्तालाई म केसँग तुलना गरूँ? यो त बजारमा खेलिरहेका बालकहरूजस्तै छ, जो बस्दछ र एक अर्कालाई बोलाउँदछ,
17 say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
र भन्दछ, ‘हामीले तिमीहरूका निम्ति बाँसुरी बजायौँ, अनि तिमीहरू नाचेनौ । हामीले शोक गर्यौँ, र तिमीहरू रोएनौ ।’
18 For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
किनकि यूहन्ना रोटी खाँदै अथवा दाखमद्य पिउँदै आएनन्, अनि तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘त्यसलाई भूत लागेको छ ।’
19 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man [that is] eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: — and wisdom has been justified by her children.
मानिसका पुत्र खाँदै र पिउँदै आए र तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘हेर, ऊ एउटा घिचुवा मान्छे हो अनि पियक्कड, कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरूको मित्र हो!’ तर बुद्धिचाहिँ तिनको कामहरूले सिद्ध हुन्छ ।”
20 Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
तब येशूले ती सहरहरूलाई हकार्न थाल्नुभयो जहाँ उहाँका धेरैजसो शक्तिशाली कार्यहरू भएका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गरेका थिएनन् ।
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.
“धिक्कार तँलाई, ए खोराजीन! धिक्कार तँलाई, ए बेथसेदा! यदि तँमा गरिएका शक्तिशाली कार्यहरू टुरोस र सीदोनमा गरिएका भए, तिनीहरूले धेरै पहिले नै भाङ्ग्रा र खरानी लगाएर पश्चात्ताप गरिसकेका हुने थिए ।
22 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
न्यायको दिनमा तिमीहरूका निम्ति भन्दा टुरोस र सीदोनको निम्ति इन्साफ अझ बढी सहनीय हुनेछ ।
23 And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
तँ कफर्नहुम, के तँ स्वर्गमा उचालिनेछस् भनी सम्झन्छस् । होइन, तँलाई तल पातालमा झारिनेछ । किनकि यदि तँमा गरिएका शक्तिशाली कार्यहरू सदोममा गरिएका भए, त्यो आजसम्म पनि रहिरहने थियो । (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
तर म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि इन्साफको दिनमा तेरो निम्ति भन्दा सदोम मुलुकको निम्ति सजिलो हुनेछ ।”
25 At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
त्यस बेला येशूले भन्नुभयो, “पिता, म तपाईंको प्रशंसा गर्दछु । हे स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका मालिक, किनभने तपाईंले यी कुराहरू बुद्धिमानी र समझदारहरूबाट लुकाउनुभयो, र ती अनपढलाई प्रकट गराउनुभयो जो साना बालकहरूजस्ता छन् ।
26 Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
हो, पिता, किनकि तपाईंको दृष्टिमा यही नै मनपर्दो थियो ।
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal [him].
मेरा पिताद्वारा सबै कुरा मलाई सुम्पिएको छ । अनि पिताबाहेक पुत्रलाई कसैले चिन्दैन, अनि पुत्र र पुत्रले प्रकट गराउन इच्छा गरेको व्यक्तिले बाहेक पितालाई कसैले चिन्दैन ।
28 Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
मकहाँ आओ, तिमीहरू सबै जसले परिश्रम गर्दछौ र गह्रौँ बोझले लादिएका छौ, अनि म तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम दिनेछु ।
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls;
मेरो जुवा तिमीहरूमाथि लेओ र मबाट सिक, किनकि म नम्र र कोमल हृदयको छु, अनि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो आत्माको निम्ति विश्राम पाउनेछौ ।
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
किनकि मेरो जुवा सजिलो छ र मेरो बोझ हलुको छ ।”
