< Matthew 18 >

1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
त्यही समयमा येशूका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आएर भने, “स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा ठुलो को हो?”
2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them,
येशूले आफ्नो नजिक एउटा सानो बालकलाई बोलाउनुभयो, र उसलाई उनीहरूका बिचमा राख्‍नुभयो,
3 and said, “Truly I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
र भन्‍नुभयो, “साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूले पश्‍चात्ताप गरेर यी बालकजस्तो नभएसम्म, तिमीहरू अरू कुनै रीतिले स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नेछैनौ ।
4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.
त्यसैले, जसले यी सानो बालकले झैँ आफूलाई नम्र तुल्याउँछ, त्यो मानिस नै स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा महान् हुन्छ ।
5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me,
अनि जसले मेरो नाउँमा एउटा यस्तो सानो बालकलाई अपनाउँछ, उसले मलाई अपनाउँछ ।
6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in Me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged on his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.
तर ममा विश्‍वास गर्ने यी सानाहरूमध्ये एउटैलाई पनि जसले पाप गर्न लगाउँछ, त्यसको गलामा एउटा ठुलो ढुङ्गो झुण्ड्याइ समुद्रको गहिराइमा फालिदिनु असल हुने थियो ।
7 Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! For there is necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes!
कठिनाइको समयको कारण यस संसारलाई धिक्‍कार! किनकि यस्तो समय आउनु आवश्यक छ, तर त्यस मानिसलाई धिक्‍कार जसद्वारा यस्तो समय आउँछ!
8 And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut them off and cast [them] from you; it is good for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the continuous fire. (aiōnios g166)
यदि तिम्रो हात अथवा खुट्टाले तिमीलाई पाप गर्न लगाउँछ भने, त्यसलाई काटिदेऊ र त्यसलाई तिमीबाट टाढा फ्याँकिदेऊ । दुवै हात वा दुवै खुट्टा भएर अनन्तको आगोमा फालिनुभन्दा लुलो वा लङ्गडो भएर जीवनमा प्रवेश गर्नु तिम्रो निम्ति असल हुन्छ । (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast from you; it is good for you to enter into life one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire. (Geenna g1067)
यदि तिम्रो आँखाले तिमीलाई पाप गर्न लगाउँछ भने, त्यसलाई निकाल, र तिमीबाट टाढा फ्याँकिदेऊ । दुवै आँखा भएर अनन्तको आगोमा फालिनु भन्दा एउटा आँखाको लिएर जीवनमा प्रवेश गर्नु तिम्रो निम्ति असल हुन्छ । (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware! You may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their messengers in the heavens always behold the face of My Father who is in the heavens,
होसियार रहो, यी सानाहरूमध्ये कसैलाई पनि घृणा नगर । किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्वर्गमा तिनीहरूका दूतहरूले सधैँ मेरा पिताको मुहार हेर्दछन् जो स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 [[for the Son of Man came to save the lost.]]
किनकि मानिसका पुत्र हराएकाहरूलाई बचाउन आएका हुन् ।
12 What do you think? If a man may have one hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, does he not—having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains—seek that which is gone astray?
तिमीहरू के विचार गर्छौ? यदि कुनै मानिससँग एक सयवटा भेडा छन्, अनि तीमध्ये एउटा हरायो भने, के उसले ती उनान्सयलाई डाँडाको एक छेउमा छोडेर त्यस हराएकोलाई खोज्‍न हिँड्दैन र?
13 And if it may come to pass that he finds it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray;
अनि साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि उसले त्यो हराएको भेडालाई भेट्टायो भने, ऊसँग भएका ती उनान्सय भेडाभन्दा त्यस एउटाको निम्ति उसले बढी रमाहट गर्दछ ।
14 so it is not [the] will in [the] presence of your Father who is in the heavens that one of these little ones may perish.
त्यसरी नै, यी सानाहरूमध्ये एउटै पनि नाश होस् भनी स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने तिमीहरूका पिताले इच्छा गर्नुहुन्‍न ।
15 And if your brother may sin against you, go and show him his fault between you and him alone, if he may hear you, you gained your brother;
यदि तिम्रो भाइले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ भने, जाऊ, र एकलै भेटेर उसलाई उसको गल्ती देखाइदेऊ । यदि उसले तिम्रो कुरा सुन्छ भने, तिमीले आफ्नो भाइलाई प्राप्‍त गर्नेछौ ।
16 and if he may not hear, take with you yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand.
तर यदि उसले तिम्रो कुरा सुन्दैन भने, अरू एक वा दुई जना भाइलाई तिमीसँगै लैजाऊ, ताकि दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको बोलीद्वारा हरेक शब्द सत्य ठहरिओस् ।
17 And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to you as the heathen man and the tax collector.
र यदि उसले तिनीहरूको कुरा पनि सुन्‍न इन्कार गर्दछ भने, यो विषय मण्डलीलाई बताऊ । यदि उसले मण्डलीलाई पनि सुन्‍न इन्कार गर्दछ भने, ऊ तिम्रो निम्ति गैरयहूदी वा कर उठाउने सरह होस् ।
18 Truly I say to you, whatever things you may bind on the earth will be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things you may loose on the earth will be having been loosed in the heavens.
साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जे कुराहरू तिमी संसारमा बाँध्छौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा पनि बाँधिनेछ । अनि जे कुराहरू तिमी संसारमा फुकाउनेछौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा फुकाइनेछ ।
19 Again, I say to you that if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask—it will be done to them from My Father who is in the heavens,
अझ म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि तिमीहरूमध्ये दुई जनाले तिनीहरूले मागेका जुनसुकै कुरामा यस संसारमा सहमत हुन्छन् भने, स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने मेरा पिताद्वारा तिनीहरूका निम्ति त्यो गरिनेछ ।
20 for where there are two or three gathered together—to My Name, there am I in the midst of them.”
किनकि जहाँ दुई वा तिन जना मेरो नाउँमा भेला हुन्छन्, म तिनीहरूका माझमा हुनेछु ।”
21 Then Peter having come near to Him, said, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him—until seven times?”
अनि पत्रुस आए र येशूलाई भने, “प्रभु, मेरो भाइले मेरो विरुद्धमा कति पटक पाप गर्‍यो भने मैले उसलाई क्षमा गरूँ? के सात पल्टसम्म?”
22 Jesus says to him, “I do not say to you until seven times, but until seventy times seven.
येशूले उनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीलाई सात पटक भनेर भन्दिनँ, तर सत्तरी गुणा सात पल्टसम्म ।
23 Because of this was the kingdom of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who willed to take reckoning with his servants,
यसैकारण, स्वर्गको राज्यलाई एउटा यस्तो राजासँग तुलना गर्न सकिन्छ, जसले आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित आफ्नो हिसाब मिलाउन चाहे ।
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
जब तिनले हिसाब लिन थाले, एउटा नोकर तिनको अगाडि ल्याइयो जसले तिनलाई दस हजार सुनका सिक्‍का तिर्नुपर्ने थियो ।
25 and he having nothing to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.
तर त्यस नोकरसित त्यो चुक्ता गर्ने केही उपाय नभएकोले, त्यसका मालिकले त्योसहित त्यसकी पत्‍नी, त्यसका बालबच्‍चा र सबथोक बेचेर त्यो तिर्न आदेश दिए ।
26 The servant then, having fallen down, was prostrating to him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all;
त्यसैले, त्यस नोकर घुँडा टेक्दै तिनको अगि घोप्‍टो पर्‍यो, अनि भन्यो, ‘मालिक, मसँग धैर्य गर्नुहोस्, अनि म हजुरलाई सब थोक तिर्नेछु ।’
27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion released him, and the debt he forgave him.
त्यसैले, त्यस नोकरका मालिक दयाले भरिएको कारण तिनले त्यसलाई छोडिदिएर ऋणमुक्त गरिदिए ।
28 And that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him one hundred denarii, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which you owe.
तर त्यस नोकर बाहिर गयो र त्यसले आफ्नो सहकर्मी एउटा नोकर भेट्टायो जसले त्यसलाई एक सय दिनार तिर्नुपर्ने थियो । त्यसले उसलाई पक्रियो, र घाँटीमा समात्यो, र भन्यो, ‘तैँले मलाई जे तिर्नुपर्नेछ, त्यो तिरिहाल ।’
29 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you all;
तर त्यसको नोकरले घुँडा टेक्यो र त्यसलाई बिन्ती गर्‍यो, ‘मसँग धैर्य गर्नुहोस्, अनि म तपाईंलाई सबै ऋण तिरिदिनेछु ।’
30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, until he might pay that which was owing.
तर त्यो पहिलो नोकरले इन्कार गर्‍यो । बरु, त्यो गयो र उसले तिर्नुपर्ने ऋण चुक्ता नगरेसम्म उसलाई झ्यालखानामा हालिदियो ।
31 And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, showed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
जब त्यसका अरू सहकर्मी नोकरहरूले जे भएको थियो त्यो देखे, उनीहरू अत्यन्तै निराश भए । उनीहरू आए, र जे भएको थियो त्यो सबै उनीहरूका मालिकलाई सुनाइदिए ।
32 then having called him, his lord says to him, Evil servant! All that debt I forgave you, seeing you called on me;
त्यसपछि त्यस नोकरका मालिकले त्यसलाई बोलाए र भने, ‘तँ दुष्‍ट नोकर, तैँले मलाई बिन्ती गरेको हुनाले मैले तेरा सबै ऋण तँलाई माफ गरिदिएँ ।
33 did it not seem necessary to you to have dealt kindly with your fellow servant, as I also dealt kindly with you?
मैले तँमाथि दया गरेझैँ के तैँले पनि आफ्नो सहकर्मी नोकरमाथि दया गर्नु पर्दैनथ्यो?’
34 And having been angry, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, until he might pay all that was owing to him;
त्यसका मालिक रिसाए र त्यसले तिर्नुपर्ने सबै ऋण चुक्ता नगरेसम्म त्यसलाई सताउनेहरूका हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।
35 so also My heavenly Father will do to you, if you may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.”
यदि तिमीहरू हरेकले आफ्नो हृदयबाट आफ्नो भाइलाई क्षमा गरेनौ भने, मेरा स्वर्गीय पिताले पनि तिमीहरूसित यस्तै गर्नुहुनेछ ।
