< Luke 18 >

1 And he spoke a parable to them to this end, that men should always to pray, and not to faint;
तब तिनीहरूले कसरी सधैँ प्रार्थना गर्नुपर्छ र निरुत्साह हुनुहुँदैन भन्‍ने सम्बन्धमा उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग दृष्‍टान्तमा बोल्नुभयो ।
2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “कुनै एउटा सहरमा एक जना न्यायाधीश बस्दथे, जसले परमेश्‍वरको भय मान्दैनथे र मानिसहरूको पनि आदर गर्दैनथे ।
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
त्यस सहरमा एक जना विधवा बस्थिन् र बारम्बार ती अधर्मी न्यायाधीशकहाँ आउँथिन् र भन्थिन्, ‘मलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् र मेरो वादीको विरुद्ध मलाई न्याय दिलाउनुहोस् ।’
4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
लामो समयसम्म उनले ती विधवालाई सहायता गर्ने इच्छा गरेनन्, तर केही समयपछि उनले मनमनै भने, ‘मैले परमेश्‍वरको भय मान्दिनँ र मानिसहरूको पनि आदर गर्दिनँ,
5 Yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
तर यस विधवाले मलाई सताउँछे । त्यसैले, मकहाँ बारम्बार आएर यसले मलाई नसताओस् भनेर, म उसलाई न्याय दिलाउनेछु’ ।”
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
तब प्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “ती अन्यायी न्यायाधीशले के भन्छन्, सुन ।
7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night to him, though he bear long with them?
के परमेश्‍वरले पनि उहाँलाई दिनरात पुकारा गर्ने आफ्ना चुनिएका मानिसहरूको निम्ति न्याय गरिदिनुहुन्‍न र? के उहाँ तिनीहरूप्रति धैर्यवान् हुनुहुन्‍न र?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै न्याय दिलाउनुहुनेछ । तर जब मानिसका पुत्र आउनेछन्, के उनले पृथ्वीमा विश्‍वास भेट्टाउनेछन् र?”
9 And he spoke this parable to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
त्यसपछि उहाँले आफैँलाई धर्मी ठान्‍ने र अरूलाई तुच्छ ठान्‍ने कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई यो दृष्‍टान्त पनि भन्‍नुभयो,
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
“दुई जना मानिस मन्दिरमा प्रार्थना गर्न गए– एक जना फरिसी र अर्को कर उठाउने ।
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as other men are, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
फरिसीले उभिएर यसो भनेर आफ्नै बारेमा प्रार्थना गर्‍यो, ‘हे परमेश्‍वर, म तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु कि म अरू चोरहरूजस्तो छैनँ, अधर्मीहरूजस्तो छैनँ, व्यभिचारीजस्तो पनि छैनँ, यही कर उठाउनेजस्तो पनि छैनँ ।
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
म हरेक हप्‍ता दुई पटक उपवास बस्दछु । म आफूले पाएका सबै थोकको दशांश दिन्छु ।’
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote on his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
तर कर उठाउने मानिसले टाढैबाट उभिएर, स्वर्गतिर पनि नहेरीकन आफ्नो छाती पिट्दै यसो भन्यो, ‘हे परमेश्‍वर म पापीमाथि कृपालु हुनुहोस् ।’
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि यो मानिस अर्को मानिसभन्दा बढी धर्मी ठहरिएर आफ्नो घर फर्क्यो, किनभने हरेक जसले आफूलाई उचाल्दछ त्यो होच्याइनेछ र जसले आफैँलाई होच्याउँछ त्यो उचालिनेछ ।
15 And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई छोइदिऊन् भनी मानिसहरूले बालबालिकाहरूलाई पनि उहाँकहाँ ल्याए, तर यो यो देखेर चेलाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई हकारे ।
16 But Jesus called them to him, and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “साना बालबालिकाहरूलाई मकहाँ आउन देओ, तिनीहरूलाई नरोक, किनभने स्वर्गको राज्य यस्तैहरूको हो ।
17 Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि कसैले परमेश्‍वरको राज्यलाई बालकले झैँ ग्रहण गर्दैन भने त्यो निश्‍चय नै स्वर्गमा प्रवेश गर्नेछैन ।”
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
एक जना शासकले उहाँलाई सोधे, “हे असल गुरु, अनन्त जीवन प्राप्‍त गर्न मैले के गर्नुपर्छ?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, Why call you me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “किन मलाई असल भन्दछौ, एक परमेश्‍वरबाहेक कोही पनि असल छैन ।
20 You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.
तिमीलाई आज्ञाहरू थाहा छ– तैँले व्यभिचार नगर्नू, हत्या नगर्नू, नचोर्नू, झुटो गवाही नदिनू, आफ्ना आमाबुबाको आदर गर्नू ।”
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
ती शासकले भने, “यी सब कुराहरू त मैले आफ्नो जवान अवस्थादेखि नै पालन गरिरहेको छु ।”
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lack you one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
जब येशूले यो सुन्‍नुभयो, उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीमा अझै एउटा कुराको कमी छ । तिमीले आफ्नो सारा सम्पत्ति बेच्‍नुपर्छ र गरिबहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ अनि तिम्रो धन स्वर्गमा हुनेछ । त्यसपछि आऊ र मेरोपछि लाग ।”
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
तर जब धनी मानिसले यो कुरा सुने, तिनी अति नै दुःखित भए, कारण तिनी धेरै धनी थिए ।
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
तब येशूले तिनलाई हेरेर अति दुःखित हुँदै भन्‍नुभयो, “धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्न कति गाह्रो छ!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नुभन्दा बरु उँटलाई सियोको नाथ्रीबाट छिर्नु सजिलो हुन्छ!”
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
त्यो सुन्‍नेहरूले यसो भने, “त्यसो भए को बचाइनेछ त?”
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मानिसको निम्ति जुन कुरा असम्भव छ, त्यो परमेश्‍वरमा सम्भव छ ।”
28 Then Peter said, See, we have left all, and followed you.
पत्रुसले जवाफ दिए, “हामीले आफ्ना सबै कुराहरू त्यागेर तपाईंको पछि लागेका छौँ ।”
29 And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जसले परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको खातिर घर, श्रीमती वा दाजुभाइ, आमाबुबा वा छोराछोरीलाई त्याग्दछन्,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
तिनीहरूले यस संसारमा अझै धेरै पाउनेछन् अनि आउने संसारमा अनन्त जीवन पाउनेछन् ।” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 Then he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
बाह्र जनालाई आफूकहाँ भेला गरेर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, हामी यरूशलेमतर्फ जाँदै छौँ, अनि मानिसका पुत्रको बारेमा अगमवक्‍ताहरूले लेखेका सबै कुरा पुरा हुनेछन् ।
32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
किनकि उनी अन्यजातिहरूका हातमा सुम्पिइनेछन् र मनिसहरूले उनलाई गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र अपमानजनक व्यवहार गर्नेछन् र उनलाई थुक्‍नेछन् ।
33 And they shall whip him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
उनलाई दण्ड दिइसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्नेछन् र तेस्रो दिनमा उनी मृत्युबाट जीवित भई उठ्नेछन् ।”
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
उनीहरूले यी कुनै पनि कुराहरू बुझेनन् र यो वचन उनीहरूबाट लुकाइएका थिए, यसकारण भनिएका कुनै पनि कुराहरू उनीहरूको समझमा आएन ।
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
येशू यरीहो नजिक आउनुहुँदा, एक जना दृष्‍टिविहीन मानिस बाटोको छेउमा बसी भिख मागिरहेको थियो ।
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
त्यो बाटो भएर ठुलो भिड गइरहेको कुरा सुनेर उसले सोध्यो, “यहाँ के हुँदै छ?”
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “नासरतका येशू यो बाटो भएर जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me.
त्यसपछि त्यो दृष्‍टिविहीन मानिसले चिच्याउँदै भन्यो, “हे दाऊदका पुत्र येशू, ममाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।”
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
भिडको अगिअगि हिँडिरहेका मानिसहरूले त्यो दृष्‍टिविहीन मानिसलाई हकारेर चुप लाग्‍न भने, तर उसले झन् चर्को स्वरले कराउँदै भन्यो, “दाऊदका पुत्र, ममाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।”
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
येशू टक्‍क उभिनुभयो र त्यस दृष्‍टिविहीन मानिसलाई आफूकहाँ ल्याउन आज्ञा गर्नुभयो । जब त्यस दृष्‍टिविहीन मानिस येशूको नजिक आयो, येशूले उसलाई सोध्‍नुभयो,
41 Saying, What will you that I shall do to you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
“मैले तिम्रो निम्ति के गरेको तिमी चाहन्छौ?” उसले भन्यो, “प्रभु, म देख्‍न चाहन्छु ।”
42 And Jesus said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has saved you.
येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमी देख्‍ने भइ जाऊ । तिम्रो विश्‍वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ ।”
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
तुरुन्तै उसले देख्‍न सक्यो र परमेश्‍वरको महिमा गर्दै उहाँलाई पछ्यायो । यो देखेर सबै मानिसहरूले परमेश्‍वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।
