< John 11 >
1 Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
लाजरस नाम गरेका मानिस बिरामी थिए । तिनी तिनकी दिदीहरू मरियम र मार्थाको गाउँ बेथानियाका थिए ।
2 (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
यिनी तिनै मरियम थिइन् जसले प्रभुलाई मूर्रले अभिषेक गरिन् र उहाँका खुट्टा आफ्नो कपालले पुछेकी थिइन्, जसका भाइ लाजरस बिरामी थिए ।
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
यी दुई दिदी-बहिनीले येशूलाई बोलाउन पठाए “प्रभु, हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले जसलाई माया गर्नुहुन्छ तिनी बिरामी छन् ।”
4 When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
जब येशूले यो सुन्नुभयो, उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “यस बिरामीले मृत्युमा पुर्याउँदैन, तर बरु यो परमेश्वरको महिमाको निम्ति हो, ताकि परमेश्वरका पुत्र यसद्वारा महिमित हुन सकून् ।”
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
येशूले मार्था र तिनकी बहिनी अनि लाजरसलाई माया गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
त्यसैले, जब येशूले लाजरस बिरामी भएको सुन्नुभयो, उहाँ अरू दुई दिन त्यही ठाउँमा बस्नुभयो जहाँ उहाँ हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
7 Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
यसपछि उहाँले चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “फेरि यहूदियातिर जाऔँ ।”
8 [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “रब्बी, अहिले नै यहूदीहरूले तपाईंलाई ढुङ्गा हान्न खोजिरहेका थिए र तपाईं फेरि त्यहीँ फर्केर जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ?”
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “के दिनमा बाह्र घण्टा उज्यालो हुँदैन र? यदि कोही दिनको समयमा हिँड्छ भने त्यसलाई ठेस लाग्दैन, किनकि त्यसले यस संसारको उज्यालोको सहायताले देख्छ ।
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
तापनि त्यो राति हिँड्छ भने त्यसलाई ठेस लाग्छ, किनकि त्यसमा उज्यालो हुँदैन ।”
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
उहाँले यी कुराहरू उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हाम्रा साथी लाजरस मस्त निद्रामा परेका छन्, तर म जाँदै छु, ताकि म तिनलाई निद्राबाट बिउँझाउन सकूँ ।”
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
यसकारण चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “प्रभु, यदि तिनी निद्रामा परेका छन् भने तिनी होसमा आउनेछन् ।”
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
अहिले येशूले तिनको मृत्युको बारेमा बोल्नुभएको थियो, तर उहाँ आरामको निद्राको बारेमा बोलिरहनुभएको छ भन्ने तिनीहरूले सोचे ।
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई स्पष्ट रूपमा भन्नुभयो, “लाजरस मरेको छ ।
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
म त्यहाँ नभएकोमा तिमीहरूका खातिर म खुसी छु, ताकि तिमीहरूले विश्वास गर्न सक । तिनीकहाँ जाऔँ ।”
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
दिदुमस भनिने थोमाले उनका सङ्गी चेलाहरूलाई भने, “हामी पनि जाऔँ, कि हामी पनि येशूसँगै मर्न सकौँ ।”
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already.
जब येशू आउनुभयो, लाजरसलाई चिहानमा राखेको चार दिन भइसकेको उहाँले पाउनुभयो ।
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
बेथानिया यरूशलेमबाट नजिकै करिब तिन किलोमिटर दुरीमा पर्थ्यो ।
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
धेरै यहूदीहरू मरियम र मार्थाकहाँ तिनीहरूका भाइको बारेमा तिनीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन आएका थिए ।
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.
जब मार्थाले येशू आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने सुनिन्, तिनी उहाँलाई भेट्न गइन्, तर मरियमचाहिँ घरमा नै बसिरहेकी थिइन् ।
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
त्यसपछि मार्थाले येशूलाई भनिन्, “प्रभु, यदि तपाईं यहाँ हुनुभएको भए मेरा भाइ मर्ने थिएनन् ।
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give [it] thee.
म जान्दछु, कि अहिले पनि तपाईंले परमेश्वरसँग जे माग्नुहुन्छ सो उहाँले तपाईंलाई दिनुहुनेछ ।”
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रा भाइ फेरि जीवित हुनेछन् ।”
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
मार्थाले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “म जान्दछु, कि तिनी अन्त्यको दिनको पुनरुथानमा फेरि जीवित हुनेछन्” ।
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “पुनरुथान र जीवन म नै हुँ; जसले मलाई विश्वास गर्छ, त्यो मरे तापनि जीवित हुनेछ ।
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (aiōn )
जसले मलाई विश्वास गर्छ र ममा जिउँछ त्यो कहिल्यै मर्नेछैन । के तिमी यो विश्वास गर्छ्यौ?” (aiōn )
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
तिनले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “हो प्रभु, म विश्वास गर्छु, तपाईं नै संसारमा आइरहनुभएका परमेश्वरका पुत्र अर्थात् ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।”
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
जब तिनले यो भनिन्, तिनी त्यहाँबाट गइन् र तिनकी बहिनी मरियमलाई सुटुक्क बोलाइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “गुरुज्यू यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ र तिमीलाई बोलाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
29 As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto him.
जब तिनले यो सुनिन्, तिनी झट्टै उठिन् र उहाँकहाँ गइन् ।
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
येशू अझै पनि त्यस गाउँभित्र आउनुभएको थिएन, तर उहाँ त्यही ठाउँमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो जहाँ मार्थाले उहाँलाई भेटेकी थिइन् ।
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
त्यसैले, तिनीसँग घरमा भएका र तिनलाई सान्त्वना दिइरहेका यहूदीहरूले जब मरियम झट्टै उठेर बाहिर गइरहेकी देखे, तिनीहरूले तिनी चिहानमा रुन गइरहेकी छन् भन्ने सोची तिनीहरू पनि तिनको पछि लागे ।
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
त्यसपछि जब मरियम येशू हुनुभएको ठाउँमा आइन् र उहाँलाई देखिन्, तिनी उहाँको पाउमा घोप्टो परिन्, र उहाँलाई भनिन्, “प्रभु, यदि तपाईं यहाँ हुनुभएको भए मेरा भाइ मर्ने थिएनन् ।”
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
जब येशूले तिनी र तिनीसँग आएका यहूदीहरू पनि रोइरहेको देख्नुभयो, उहाँ आत्मामा अति विचलित हुनुभयो, र दुःखित हुनुभयो ।
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले तिनलाई कहाँ राखेका छौ?” उनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “प्रभु आउनुहोस्, र हेर्नुहोस् ।”
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
त्यसपछि यहूदीहरूले भने, “हेर, उहाँले लाजरसलाई कति माया गर्नुहुन्थ्यो!”
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केहीले भने, “के अन्धाका आँखा खोल्ने यी मानिसले यस मानिसलाई पनि नमर्ने तुल्याउने बनाउन सक्दैनथ्यो र?”
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
त्यसपछि फेरि येशू आत्मामा आफैँ अति विचलित हुनुभयो, र चिहानतिर जानुभयो । यो एउटा गुफा थियो र यसलाई एउटा ढुङ्गाले ढाकेको थियो ।
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.
येशूले भन्नुभयो, “ढुङ्गा हटाऊ ।” लाजरस जो मरेका थिए, तिनकी दिदी मार्थाले येशूलाई भनिन्, “प्रभु, अहिलेसम्म त शरीर कुहिसकेको हुनेछ, किनकि तिनी मरेको चार दिन भइसक्यो ।”
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “के मैले तिमीलाई भनिनँ, कि यदि तिमीले विश्वास गर्यौ भने तिमीले परमेश्वरको महिमा देख्नेछौ?”
41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले ढुङ्गा हटाए । येशूले आफ्ना आँखा माथितिर उठाउनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “हे पिता, मेरो बिन्ती सुन्नुभएकोमा म तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु ।
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
म जान्दथेँ, तपाईंले मेरो बिन्ती सधैँ सुन्नुहुन्छ, तर मेरो वरिपरि उभिरहेका यो भिडको कारण मैले यो भनेँ, ताकि तपाईंले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ भन्ने तिनीहरूले विश्वास गर्न सकून् ।”
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
उहाँले यी कुराहरू भन्नुभएपछि उहाँले ठुलो सोरमा भन्नुभयो, “लाजरस, बाहिर आऊ!”
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
मरेको मानिस बाहिर आयो, त्यसका हात र खुट्टाहरू कपडाले बाँधिएका थिए; त्यसको अनुहार कपडाले बेह्रिएको थियो । येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसलाई खोलिदेओ, र त्यसलाई जान देओ ।”
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
त्यसपछि मरियमकहाँ आएका र येशूले जे गर्नुभयो सो दखेका धेरै यहूदीहरूले उहाँमा विश्वास गरे ।
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केही फरिसीहरूकहाँ गए र येशूले गर्नुभएका ती कुराहरू तिनीहरूलाई बताइदिए ।
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
त्यसपछि मुख्य पुजारीहरू र फरिसीहरूले परिषद्का सदस्यहरूलाई भेला पारे, र भने, “हामीले के गर्ने? यस मानिसले धेरै चिह्नहरू गर्छन् ।
48 If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
यदि हामीले यसलाई यसरी नै छोडिदियौँ भने सबैले यसलाई विश्वास गर्नेछन्; रोमीहरू आउनेछन् अनि हाम्रो ठाउँ र हाम्रो जाति दुवै लिनेछन् ।”
49 And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
तैपनि तिनीहरूमध्ये कैयाफा नामका मानिस जो त्यस वर्ष प्रधान पुजारी थिए तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू केही पनि जान्दैनौ ।
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
सम्पूर्ण राष्ट्र नै नष्ट हुनुभन्दा मानिसहरूका निम्ति एक जना मर्नु नै तिमीहरूका निम्ति उत्तम हो भन्ने तिमीहरू ठान्दैनौ ।”
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
अब यो तिनले आफ्नै तर्फबाट भनेका थिएनन् । बरु उनी त्यस वर्षका प्रधान पुजारी भएको कारणले येशू राष्ट्रको निम्ति मर्नुपर्छ भनी तिनले अगमवाणी गरेका थिए ।
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
राष्ट्रको निम्ति मात्र होइन, तर छरपष्ट भएका परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरूसँगै एक होऊन् भनेर पनि हो ।
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
त्यसैले, त्यस दिनदेखि उनीहरूले येशूलाई कसरी मार्ने भनी योजना बनाउन थाले ।
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
येशू यहूदीहरू माझ खुलमखुला हिँड्डुल गर्नुभएन, तर उहाँ त्यहाँबाट उजाड-स्थान नजिकैको गाउँमा रहेको एफ्राइम भनिने सहरमा जानुभयो । त्यहाँ उहाँ चेलाहरूसँग बस्नुभयो ।
55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
अब यहूदीहरूको निस्तार-चाड नजिकै थियो र धेरै जना आफैँलाई शुद्ध पार्न गाउँहरूबाट निस्तार-चाड अगि नै यरूशलेम गए ।
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
तिनीहरूले येशूलाई खोजिरहेका थिए । तिनीहरू मन्दिरमा खडा भइरहँदा एक-अर्कामा भन्दै थिए, “तिमीहरूलाई कस्तो लाग्छ? उनी चाडमा आउने छैनन् र?”
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew [it], that they might take him.
अहिले मुख्य पुजारीहरू र फरिसीहरूले यो उर्दी जारी गरेका थिए, कि यदि कसैले येशू कहाँ हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी जान्दथ्यो भने, त्यसले त्यो भन्नुपर्छ ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रन सकून् ।
