John 7
1 After this, Jesus went about in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the religious authorities (in Jerusalem) were eager to put him to death.
अनि यी कुराहरू भएपछि येशू गालीलभरि यात्रा गर्नुभयो, किनभने यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई मार्न खोजिरहेका हुनाले उहाँ यहूदियामा जान चाहनुभएन ।
2 When the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
यहूदीहरूको छाप्रो-वास चाड नजिकै आएको थियो ।
3 his brothers said to him, ‘Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.
यसकारण, उहाँका भाइहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “यो ठाउँ छोडेर यहूदियामा जानुहोस्, ताकि तपाईंका चेलाहरूले पनि तपाईंले गर्नुहुने कामहरू देख्न सकून् ।
4 For no one does a thing privately, if they are seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world.’
यदि उसले आफैँलाई खुला रूपमा चिनाउन चाहन्छ भने कसैले पनि कुनै कुरा गुप्तमा गर्दैन । यदि तपाईंले यी कुराहरू गर्नहुन्छ भने आफूलाई संसारमा देखाउनुहोस् ।”
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
किनकि उहाँका भाइहरूले पनि उहाँलाई विश्वास गर्दैनथे ।
6 ‘My time,’ answered Jesus, ‘is not come yet, but your time is always here.
त्यसकारण येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो समय अझै आएको छैन, तर तिमीहरूको समय सधैँ तयार छ ।
7 The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.
संसारले तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्न सक्दैन, तर यसले मलाई घृणा गर्छ, किनभने यसको काम खराब छ भनेर यसको बारेमा म गवाही दिन्छु ।
8 Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come.’
तिमीहरू चाडमा जाओ, म यो चाडमा जाँदिनँ, किनभने मेरो समय अहिलेसम्म पुरा भएको छैन ।”
9 After telling them this, he stayed on in Galilee.
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू भन्नुभएपछि उहाँ गालीलमा नै बस्नुभयो ।
10 But, when his brothers had gone up to the Festival, Jesus also went up – not publicly, but privately.
तर जब उहाँका भाइहरू चाडमा गए, तब उहाँ पनि खुलमखुल्ला होइन, तर गोप्य तरिकाले जानुभयो ।
11 The authorities were looking for him at the Festival and asking “Where is he?”;
यहूदीहरूले उहाँलाई चाडमा खोजिरहेका थिए र भने, “उनी कहाँ छन्?”
12 and there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying “He is a good man;” others, “No! He is leading the people astray.”
त्यहाँ भिडहरूमा उहाँको बारेमा धेरै बहस भएको थियो । कसैले भने, “उनी असल मानिस हुन् ।” अरूहरूले भने, “होइन, यसले भिडहरूलाई बहकाउँछ ।”
13 No one, however, spoke freely about him, because they were afraid of the authorities.
तैपनि यहूदीहरूको डरको कारणले कसैले पनि खुलमखुल्ला बोलेन ।
14 About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.
जब चाड आधा सिद्धिएको थियो, येशू मन्दिरमा जानुभयो र सिकाउन सुरु गर्नुभयो ।
15 The authorities were astonished. ‘How has this man got his learning,’ they asked, ‘when he has never studied?’
यहूदीहरू अचम्मित भएर यसो भने, “यो मानिसले कसरी यति धेरै जान्दछ? यसलाई त कहिल्यै पनि शिक्षा दिइएको छैन ।”
16 So, in reply, Jesus said, ‘My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “मैले दिएको शिक्षा मेरो होइन, तर उहाँको हो जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो ।
17 If anyone has the will to do God’s will, they will find out whether my teaching is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.
यदि कसैले उहाँको इच्छा पालन गर्ने इच्छा गर्छ भने यो परमेश्वरबाट आएको हो वा म मेरो आफ्नै तर्फबाट बोल्छु भनी त्यसले यो शिक्षाबारे जान्नेछ ।
18 The person who speaks on their own authority seeks honour for themselves; but the one who seeks the honour of him who sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.
आफ्नै तर्फबाट बोल्नेले उसको आफ्नै महिमा खोज्दछ, तर जसले आफूलाई पठाउनुहुनेको महिमा खोज्दछ, त्यो व्यक्ति सत्य हो र उसमा कुनै अधार्मिकता हुँदैन ।
19 Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?’
के मोशाले तिमीहरूलाई व्यवस्था दिएनन् र? तैपनि तिमीहरू कसैले व्यवस्था पालन गर्दैनौ । तिमीहरू मलाई किन मार्न चाहन्छौ?”
20 ‘You must be possessed by a demon!’ the people exclaimed. ‘Who is seeking to put you to death?’
भिडले जवाफ दियो, “तिमीलाई भूत लागेको छ । तिमीलाई कसले मार्न खोज्छ?”
21 ‘There was one thing I did,’ replied Jesus, ‘at which you are all still wondering.
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “मैले एउटा काम गरेँ, र यसको कारण तिमीहरू सबै चकित हुन्छौ ।
22 But that is why Moses has instituted circumcision among you – not, indeed, that it began with him, but with our ancestors – and that is why you circumcise even on a Sabbath.
मोशाले तिमीहरूलाई खतनाको रीति दिए (यो मोशाबाट आएको होइन, तर पुर्खाहरूबाट आएको हो) अनि तिमीहरूले मानिसलाई विश्रामको दिनमा खतना गर्दछौ ।
23 When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?
मोशाको व्यवस्था भङ्ग नहोस् भनेर यदि एक जना मानिसले विश्रामको दिनमा खतना गर्न स्वीकार गर्छ भने तब मैले विश्रामको दिनमा एक जना मानिसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा स्वस्थ बनाएकोमा तिमीहरू मसँग किन रिसाउँछौ?”
24 Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.’
बाहिरी रूप हेरेर न्याय नगर, तर धार्मिकतापूर्वक न्याय गर ।
25 At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed, ‘Is not this the man who they are seeking to put to death?
यरूशलेमबाट आएका केहीले भने, “के तिनीहरूले मार्न खोजेका यिनी नै होइनन्?
26 Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?
अनि हेर, यिनी खुलमखुला बोल्छन् र तिनीहरू यिनलाई केही पनि भन्दैनन् । वास्तवमा शासकहरूले यिनी नै ख्रीष्ट हुन् भन्ने जान्न सक्दैनन्, जान्न सक्छन् त?
27 Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from.’
तापनि यो मानिस कहाँबाट आएको हो हामी जान्दछौँ । तर जब ख्रीष्ट आउनुहुन्छ उहाँ कहाँबाट आउनुहुन्छ कसैले पनि जान्नेछैन ।”
28 Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said, ‘Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.
त्यसपछि येशूले मन्दिरमा सिकाइरहनुहुँदा ठुलो सोरमा यसो भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले मलाई र म कहाँबाट आएको भनी दुवै जान्दछौ । म आफ्नै तर्फबाट आएको होइन, तर जसले मलाई पठाउनुभयो उहाँ सत्य हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई तिमीहरू चिन्दैनौँ ।
29 I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his messenger.’
म उहाँलाई चिन्दछु, किनभने म उहाँबाट आएको हुँ र उहाँले मलाई पठाउनुभयो ।”
30 So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रन कोसिस गरिरहेका थिए, तर उहाँमाथि कसैले पनि हात हालेन, किनभने उहाँको समय अझ पनि आएको थिएन ।
31 Many of the people, however, believed in him. ‘When the Christ comes,’ they said, ‘will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?’
तर भिडका धेरैले उहाँमाथि विश्वास गरे, र तिनीहरूले भने, “के ख्रीष्ट आउनुहुँदा उहाँले यो मानिसले गरेको भन्दा धेरै चिह्नहरू गर्नुहुनेछ र?”
32 The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;
भिडले येशूको बारेमा यी कुराहरूबारे खासखुस गरेको फरिसीहरूले सुने, अनि मुख्य पुजारी र फरिसीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रन अधिकारीहरूलाई पठाए ।
33 at which Jesus said, ‘I will be with you but a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “म अझै केही समयसम्म तिमीहरूसँगै हुन्छु, र त्यसपछि म मलाई पठाउनुहुनेकहाँ जान्छु ।
34 You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be.’
तिमीहरूले मलाई खोज्नेछौ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई भेट्टाउनेछैनौ, म जहाँ जान्छु तिमीहरू त्यहाँ आउन सक्नेछैनौ ।”
35 ‘Where is this man going,’ the people asked one another, ‘that we would not find him? Will he go to our countrymen abroad, and teach foreigners?
त्यसकारण यहूदीहरूले तिनीहरू माझमै भने, “यी मानिस कहाँ जानेछन्, कि हामी यिनलाई भेट्न नसकौँ? के यिनी ग्रिकहरूका बिचमा छरपष्ट भएकाहरूकहाँ जानेछन् र ग्रिकहरूलाई सिकाउनेछन्?”
36 What does he mean by saying “You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be”?’
यिनले ‘तिमीहरूले मलाई खोज्नेछौ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई भेट्टाउनेछैनौ, म जहाँ जान्छु तिमीहरू त्यहाँ आउन सक्नेछैनौ’ भनेको वचन के हो?”
37 On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed, ‘If anyone is thirsty, they should come to me and drink.
चाडको अन्तिम महान् दिनमा येशू खडा हुनुभयो र ठुलो सोरमा भन्नुभयो, “यदि कोही तिर्खाएको छ भने त्यो मकहाँ आओस् र पिओस् ।
38 From the heart of those who believe in me will flow, as is said in scripture, rivers of living water.’
धर्मशास्त्रले भनेझैँ जसले मलाई विश्वास गर्छ त्यसको पेटबाट जीवित पानीका नदीहरू बग्नेछन् ।”
39 (By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)
तर उहाँले यो पवित्र आत्माको बारेमा भन्नुभएको थियो जसलाई उहाँमा विश्वास गर्नेहरूले प्राप्त गर्थे । पवित्र आत्मा अझ पनि दिइएको थिएन, किनभने येशू अझ पनि महिमित हुनुभएको थिएन ।
40 Some of the people, when they heard these words, said, ‘This is certainly the Prophet!’;
जब तिनीहरूले यी वचनहरू सुने भिडका केहीले भने, “यिनी साँच्चै अगमवक्ता नै हुन् ।”
41 others said, ‘the Christ!’; but some asked, ‘What! Does the Christ come from Galilee?
अरूहरूले भने, “यिनी ख्रीष्ट हुन् ।” तर कोहीले भने, “के ख्रीष्ट गालीलबाट आउँछन् त?
42 Is not it said in scripture that it is of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?’
के धर्मशास्त्रले ख्रीष्ट बेथलेहम अर्थात् दाऊद बसेका गाउँबाट र दाऊदका सन्तानहरूबाट नै आउनुहुनेछ भनेको छैन र?”
43 So there was a sharp division among the people because of Jesus.
यसरी त्यहाँ उहाँको कारणले भिडहरूमा विभाजन आयो ।
44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.
तिनीहरूमध्ये कतिले उहाँलाई पक्रे, तर कसैले पनि उहाँमाथि हात हालेन ।
45 When the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, they were asked, ‘Why have you not brought him?’
त्यसपछि अधिकारीहरू मुख्य पुजारीहरू र फरिसीहरूकहाँ फर्केर आए, जसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले त्यसलाई किन ल्याएनौ?”
46 ‘No one ever spoke as he speaks!’ they answered.
अधिकारीहरूले जवाफ दिए, “कोही मानिसले पनि कहिल्यै यसरी बोलेको छैन ।”
47 ‘What! Have you been led astray too?’ the Pharisees replied.
त्यसकारण फरिसीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिए, “के तिमीहरू पनि छलियौ?
48 ‘Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
के कुनै शासकहरू वा फरिसीहरू कसैले त्यसमाथि विश्वास गरेका छन्?
49 As for these people who do not know the Law – they are cursed!’
तर यो भिडले व्यवस्था जान्दैन, तिनीहरू श्रापितहरू हुन् ।”
50 But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them,
निकोदेमस (पहिला नै येशूकहाँ आउने एक जना फरिसी) ले तिनीहरूलाई भने,
51 ‘Does our Law pass judgment on a person without first giving them a hearing, and finding out what they have been doing?’
“के हाम्रो व्यवस्थाले एउटा मानिसलाई त्यसबाट सुन्न र त्यसले के गर्छ भनी जान्न अगि न्याय गर्छ र?”
52 ‘Are you also from Galilee?’ they retorted. ‘Search, and you will find that no prophet is to arise in Galilee!’
तिनीहरूले जवाफ दिए र उनलाई भने, “के तिमी पनि गालीलबाट आएका हौ? खोज र हेर गालीलबाट कुनै पनि अगमवक्ता आउँदैन ।”
53 And everyone went home
(नोटः उत्कृष्ट प्राचीन प्रतिलिपीहरूले यूहन्ना ७:५३-८:११लाई हटाएका छन् । ) [तब सबै जना आ-आफ्नो घरतिर गए । ]
