< Luke 7 >
1 And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum.
सुनिरहेका मानिसहरूलाई सबै कुरा भनेर सक्नुभएपछि येशू कफर्नहुममा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो ।
2 And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.
एउटा कप्तानको दास जो उनका लागि अति नै महत्त्वपूर्ण थियो, ऊ साह्रै बिरामी भएर मर्नै आँटेको थियो ।
3 And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.
तर उनले येशूको बारेमा सुनेको हुनाले कप्तानले यहूदीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई येशूकहाँ गएर उहाँ आएर आफ्नो दासलाई मर्नदेखि बचाइ दिनुहोस् भनी पठायो ।
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.
जब तिनीहरू येशूको नजिक आए, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँसँग यसो भन्दै बिन्ती गरे, तिनी योग्यका छन् यो तिनका निम्ति तपाईंले गरिदिनुहोस् ।
5 For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue.
किनकि उनले हाम्रा जातिहरूलाई प्रेम गर्छन् र उनी तिनै नै हुन् जसले हाम्रा लागि सभाघर पनि निर्माण गरिदिएका छन् ।”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
त्यसैले, येशू तिनीहरूसँगै सरासर बाटो लाग्नुभयो । तर उहाँ घरबाट धेरै टाढा नहुँदै कप्तानले साथीहरू पठाएर उहाँलाई यसो भन्न लगाए, “प्रभु तपाईंले आफैँलाई दुःख नदिनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं मेरो घरभित्र प्रवेश गर्न योग्यको छैनँ ।
7 For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
यही कारणले मैले आफैँलाई तपाईंकहाँ आउने प्रर्याप्त योग्यको ठानिनँ, तर वचन बोली दिनुहोस् र मेरो दास निको हुनेछ ।
8 For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
किनकि म पनि एउटा अधिकार पाएको मानिस हुँ र मेरोमुनि सिपाहीहरू छन् । मैले एउटलाई जा भन्छु र त्यो जान्छ र अर्कोलाई आइज भन्छु र त्यो आउँछ र मेरो दासलाई ‘यसो गर भन्छु, ‘त्यसले त्यो गर्छ ।”
9 Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.
जब येशूले त्यो सुन्नुभयो, उहाँ अचम्मित हुनुभयो र भिडतिर फर्केर उनलाई देखाउँदै भन्नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि इस्राएलमा पनि मैले कसैमा यस्तो विश्वास भेट्टाएको छैन ।”
10 And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
तब ती पठाइएका मानिसहरू घरमा फर्केर आए र दासलाई स्वस्थ अवस्थामा भेट्टाए ।
11 And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.
त्यसको केही समयपछि येशू नाइन भन्ने सहरमा यात्रा गरिरहनुभएको थियो । मानिसहरूको एउटा ठुलो भिडसँगै उहाँका चेलाहरू पनि उहाँसँगै थिए ।
12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.
जब उहाँ सहरको मूल ढोकानजिक पुग्नुभयो, त्यहाँ एउटा मृत मानिसलाई बोकेर ल्याइएको थियो । त्यो उसकी आमाको एक मात्र छोरो थियो । तिनी एउटी विधवा थिइन् र सहरबाट आएको एउटा भिड तिनीसँगै थियो ।
13 Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
तिनलाई देखेर प्रभु तिनीप्रति अति नै दयाले भरिनुभयो र तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “नरोऊ ।”
14 And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
तब उहाँ अगाडि आउनुभयो र मृतकलाई छुनुभयो र शरीरलाई बोक्नेहरू टक्क अडिए । उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “जवान मानिस, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, उठ ।”
15 And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
मृत मानिस उठ्यो र बोल्न थाल्यो । तब येशूले उसलाई उसकी आमालाई सुम्पनुभयो ।
16 And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.
तब तिनीहरू सबै डराए । तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरिरहे, “हाम्रा बिचमा एउटा महान् अगमवक्ता खडा भएका छन् र परमेश्वरले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई हेर्नुभएको छ ।”
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.
येशूले गर्नुभएका यस कार्यको खबर सारा यहूदियाभरि र सबै छिमेकी इलाकाहरूमा चारैतिर फैलियो ।
18 And John’s disciples told him of all these things.
यूहन्नाका चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यी सबै कुराहरूको बारेमा बताइदिए ।
19 And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
तब यूहन्नाले आफ्ना दुई जना चेलाहरूलाई बोलाएर प्रभुकहाँ यसो भनी पठाए, “के हामीले खोजी राखेको आउनेवाला व्यक्ति तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ वा अर्को कुनै छ?
20 And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
जब तिनीहरू येशूको नजिक गए, तब तिनीहरूले यसो भने, बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नाले हामीलाई तपाईंकहाँ यसो भनी पठाए, “के हामीले खोजी राखेको आउनेवाला व्यक्ति तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ वा अर्को कुनै छ?”
21 (And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)
त्यस घडीमा उहाँले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका रोग, दुःखकष्ट र दुष्टात्माबाट निको पार्नुभयो र उहाँले धेरै दृष्टिविहीन मानिसहरूलाई देख्न सक्ने क्षमता दिनुभयो ।
22 And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached:
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिएर भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू आफ्नो बाटो लागिसकेपछि तिमीहरूले जे सुनेका र देखेका छौ, सो यूहन्नालाई बताइदेओ । दृष्टिविहीनहरूले दृष्टि पाइराखेका छन्, लङ्गडाहरू हिँडिराखेका छन्, कुष्ठरोगीहरू शुद्ध भइराखेका छन्, कान नसुन्नेहरूले सुनिराखेका छन्, मृतकहरू जीवित भइराखेका छन् र आवश्यकतामा परेका मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुनाइएको छ ।
23 And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.
मेरो क्रियाकलापको कारणले मलाई विश्वास गर्न नछोड्ने त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो ।
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
यूहन्नाका समाचार वाहकहरू गइसकेपछि येशूले भिडहरूलाई यूहन्नाको बारेमा बताउन थाल्नुभयो, “तिमी उजाड-स्थानमा के हेर्नलाई गयौ, के बतासले हल्लाइराखेको निगालोलाई?
25 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.
तर के हेर्नलाई तिमी गयौ, मलमलको कपडा लगाएको एउटा मानिसलाई? हेर, राम्रा सुन्दर कपडा लगाएका मानिसहरू राजाका दरबारमा भोगविलाससाथ जिउँछन् ।
26 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
तर के हेर्नलाई तिमीहरू बाहिर गयौ, एउटा अगमवक्तालाई? हो, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, र एउटा अगमवक्ताभन्दा पनि महान् यहाँ छ ।
27 This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
यो जसको बारेमा लेखिएको छ, हेर, म मेरा सन्देशवाहकलाई तिम्रो अगि-अगि पठाउँदै छु ।
28 For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्त्रीहरूबाट जन्मेकाहरूमध्येमा, बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नाभन्दा महान् कोही छैन, तापनि परमेश्वरको राज्यमा सबभन्दा कम महत्त्वको मानिस पनि उनीभन्दा महान् हुन्छ ।”
29 And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John’s baptism.
जब सबै मानिसहरूले यो सुने, तब कर उठाउनेहरूसमेत, तिनीहरूले यो घोषणा गरे कि परमेश्वर धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ, जसले बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नासँगै बप्तिस्मा लिएका थिए ।
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
तर फरिसीहरू र यहूदीहरूका व्यवस्थाका पण्डितहरू, जसले उनीबाट बप्तिस्मा लिएका थिएनन्, तिनीहरू आफैँले आफ्ना निम्ति परमेश्वरको बुद्धिलाई इन्कार गरे ।
31 And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
यस पुस्ताका मानिसहरूलाई मैले केसित तुलना गरूँ? तिनीहरू केजस्ता छन्?
32 They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.
तिनीहरू बजार क्षेत्रमा खेलिरहने बालबालिकाहरूजस्ता छन्, जो बस्दछन् र एक अर्कोलाई यसो भन्दै बोलाउँछन्, “हामीले तिमीहरूका लागि बाँसुरी बजायौँ, तर तिमीहरू नाचेनौ । हामीले विलाप गर्यौँ, तर तिमीहरू रोएनौ ।”
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.
किनकि बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्ना न रोटी खाँदै आए न त दाखमद्य नै पिउदै आए र पनि तिमीहरू भन्छौ कि उसलाई भूत लागेको छ ।
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
मानिसका पुत्र खाँदै र पिउँदै आए र तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “हेर, ऊ त एउटा घिचुवा र पियक्कड मानिस, कर उठाउने र पापीहरूका मित्र हो ।”
35 And wisdom is justified by all her children.
तर बुद्धि तिनका सबै सन्तानहरूद्वारा प्रमाणित हुन्छ ।”
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.
अहिले एक जना फरिसीले येशूलाई ऊसँग भोजन गर्नका लागि अनुरोध गरिरहेको थियो । त्यसपछि येशू फरिसीको घरमा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो, भोजन खानलाई टेबुलमा गएर बस्नुभयो ।
37 And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;
हेर, त्यस सहरमा एउटी स्त्री थिइन् जो पापी थिइन्, तिनले पत्ता लगाइन् कि उहाँ फरिसीको घरमा बस्नुभएको छ र तिनले सिङ्गमरमरको बोतलमा अत्तर ल्याइन् ।
38 And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
तिनी उहाँका पाउको नजिक पछाडिपट्टि उभिइन् र रोइन् । तब तिनले उहाँको पाउ आफ्ना आँसुले भिजाउन थालिन् र टाउकाको कपालले उहाँका पाउ पुछिन्, उहाँका पाउमा म्वाइ खाइन् र पाउमा अत्तर घसिन् ।
39 And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
जब येशूलाई बोलाउने फरिसीले यो देख्यो, तब उसले आफूले विचार गर्दै भन्यो, “यदि यी मानिस एउटा अगमवक्ता भएको भए, तब उनले जान्ने थिए कि को र कस्ती प्रकारकी स्त्रीले उहाँलाई छोइरहेकी छे र त्यो एउटी पापी स्त्री हो भनेर ।”
40 And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.
येशूले जवाफ दिएर उसलाई भन्नुभयो, “सिमोन मैले तिमीलाई केही भन्नु छ ।” उसले भन्यो, “गुरुज्यू, भन्नुहोस् ।”
41 A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
येशूले भन्नुभयो, “दुई जना मानिसले एक जना साहुबाट ऋण लिएका थिए । एउटाले पाँच सय दिनार ऋण, र अर्कोले पचास दिनार ऋण लिएको रहेछ ।
42 And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?
तिनीहरूसँग तिर्ने नभएकोले साहुले ती दुवै जनालाई माफ गरिदिए । त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूमध्ये कुनचाहिँले उनलाई बढी प्रेम गर्नेछ?”
43 Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.
सिमोनले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “म विचार गर्छु कि जसलाई उनले बढी माफ गरे । येशूले उसलाई भन्नुभयो तिमीले ठिकसित न्याय गर्यौ ।”
44 And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.
येशू स्त्रीतिर फर्केर सिमोनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमी यो स्त्रीलाई देख्दछौ । म तिम्रो घरभित्र प्रवेश गरेँ । तिमीले मेरो पाउ धुनलाई पानीसम्म दिएनौँ, तर तिनले त आफ्नो आँसुले मेरा पाउ भिजाइन्, र कपालले मेरा पाउ पुछिन् ।
45 Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
तिमीले मलाई म्वाइँ खाएनौ, तर तिनले म यहाँभित्र पसेको समयदेखि मेरा पाउमा म्वाइँ खान छोडेकी छैनन् ।
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.
तिमीले मेरो शिर तेलले अभिषेक गरेनौ, तर तिनले मेरा पाउमा अत्तर घसिन् ।
47 Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.
यो घटनाको कारणले म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि जसका धेरै पाप थिए र बढी क्षमा गरिएको छ, तिनले धेरै प्रेम गरेकी छन् । तर जसलाई थोरै मात्र क्षमा गरिएको छ, उसले थोरै नै मात्र प्रेम गर्छ ।”
48 And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
तब उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रा पापहरू क्षमा भएका छन् ।”
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
त्यहाँ एकसाथ बसिरहेकाहरूले एक-अर्कामा भन्न थाले, ‘पाप क्षमा गर्ने यी को हुन् र?‘
50 And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.
तब येशूले स्त्रीलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रो विश्वासले तिमीलाई बचाएको छ, शान्तिसँग जाऊ ।”
