Matthew 25
1 ‘Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom.
तब स्वर्गको राज्य ती दस कन्याजस्तै हुनेछ जसले आ-आफ्ना बत्तीहरू लिएर दुलहालाई भेट्न गए ।
2 Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.
तिनीहरूमध्ये पाँच जना निर्बुद्धि र पाँच जना बुद्धिमती थिए ।
3 The foolish ones took their lamps, but took no oil with them;
किनकि जब ती निर्बुद्धि कन्याहरूले आफ्ना बत्तीहरू लिए, तिनीहरूले आफूसँग कत्ति पनि तेल लगेनन् ।
4 while the prudent ones, besides taking their lamps, took oil in their jars.
तर बुद्धिमती कन्याहरू प्रत्येकले बत्तीहरूसँगै आ-आफ्ना तेलका भाँडाहरू पनि लगे ।
5 As the groom was late in coming, they all became drowsy, and slept.
दुलहा आउन ढिला भएको हुनाले तिनीहरू सबै निन्द्रामा परे र सुते ।
6 But at midnight a shout was raised – “The groom is coming! Come out to meet him!”
तर मध्यरातमा एउटा आवाज आयो, ‘हेर, दुलहा! बाहिर जाऊ अनि उनलाई भेट ।’
7 Then all the bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps,
त्यसपछि ती सबै कन्या उठे र आ-आफ्ना बत्तीहरूलाई ठिक्क पारे ।
8 and the foolish said to the prudent “Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.”
निर्बुद्धि कन्याहरूले बुद्धिमतीहरूलाई भने, ‘हामीलाई तिमीहरूका केही तेल देऊ किनभने हाम्रा बत्तीहरू निभ्न लागेका छन् ।’
9 But the prudent ones answered “No, There may not be enough for you and for us. Go instead to those who sell it, and buy for yourselves.”
तर बुद्धिमती कन्याहरूले जवाफ दिए र भने, ‘तिमीहरू र हामी दुवैलाई प्रशस्त पुग्ने तेल नभएकोले, तेल बेच्नेहरूकहाँ जाओ र आफ्नो लागि तेल किन ।’
10 But while they were on their way to buy it, the groom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.
जब तिनीहरू तेल किन्न बाहिर गए, दुलहा आइपुगे अनि जति जना तयार थिए तिनीहरू विवाहको भोजमा उनीसँगै गए, अनि ढोका बन्द गरियो ।
11 Afterwards the other bridesmaids came. “Sir, Sir,” they said, “open the door to us!”
केही समयपछि अरू कन्याहरू पनि आएर भने, ‘प्रभु, प्रभु, हाम्रो लागि खोलिदिनुहोस् ।’
12 But the groom answered “I tell you, I do not know you.”
तर उनले जवाफ दिएर भने, ‘साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, म तिमीहरूलाई चिन्दिनँ ।’
13 Therefore watch, since you know neither the day nor the hour.
त्यसकारण, जागा रहो, किनकि त्यो दिन वा घडी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन ।
14 ‘For it is as though a man, going on his travels, called his servants, and gave his property into their charge.
किनकि यो परदेश जानै लागेको मानिसजस्तै हो । उसले आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो सम्पत्तिको जिम्मा दिए ।
15 He gave five bags of gold to one, two to another, and one bag to a third, in proportion to the ability of each. Then he set out on his travels.
उनले तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई पाँच सिक्का दिए; अर्कोलाई दुई सिक्का र फेरि अर्कोलाई उनले एक सिक्का दिए । प्रत्यकले आफ्नो क्षमताअनुसार ती रकमहरू लिए, अनि त्यो मानिस तुरुन्तै आफ्नो यात्रामा हिँड्यो ।
16 The servant who had received the five bags of gold went at once and traded with it, and made another five bags.
पाँच सिक्का पाउने तुरुन्तै गयो र उसले त्यसलाई लगानी गर्यो, र त्यसबाट अर्को पाँच सिक्का कमायो ।
17 So, too, the servant who had received the two bags of gold made another two bags.
त्यसै गरी, जसले दुई सिक्का पाएको थियो, उसले पनि त्यसबाट अर्का दुई सिक्का कमायो ।
18 But the servant who had received the one bag went and dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master’s money.
तर एउटा मात्र सिक्का पाएको नोकर गयो र उसले एउटा खाल्डो खन्यो, र आफ्नो मालिकको पैसा त्यहाँ लुकायो ।
19 After a long time the master of those servants returned, and settled accounts with them.
अब धेरै समयपछि ती नोकरहरूका मालिक फर्केर आए अनि तिनीहरूसँग हिसाब लिए ।
20 The servant who had received the five bags of gold came up and brought five bags more. “Sir,” he said, “you entrusted me with five bags of gold; look, I have made another five bags!”
पाँच सिक्का पाएको नोकर आयो र उसले अर्को पाँचवटा सिक्का ल्यायो । उसले भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंले मलाई पाँचवटा सिक्का दिनुभएको थियो, हेर्नुहोस्, मैले अर्का पाँचवटा सिक्का कमाएको छु ।’
21 “Well done, good, trustworthy servant!” said his master. “You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!”
उसको मालिकले उसलाई भने, ‘स्याबास, असल र विश्वासयोग्य नोकर! तिमी थोरै कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएका छौ । म तिमीलाई धेरै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिनेछु । तिमी पनि आफ्नो मालिकको खुसीमा सामेल होऊ ।’
22 Then the one who had received the two bags of gold came up and said “Sir, you entrusted me with two bags pounds; look, I have made another two!”
दुईवटा सिक्का पाएको नोकर आयो र भन्यो, ‘मालिक तपाईंले मलाई दुईवटा सिक्का दिनुभएको थियो । हेर्नुहोस्, मैले अर्का दुईवटा सिक्का कमाएको छु ।’
23 “Well done, good, trustworthy servant!” said his master. “You have been trustworthy with a small sum; now I will place a large one in your hands; come and share your master’s joy!”
उसको मालिकले उसलाई भने, ‘स्याबास, असल र विश्वासयोग्य नोकर! तिमी थोरै कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएका छौ । म तिमीलाई धेरै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिनेछु । तिमी पनि आफ्ना मालिकको खुसीमा सामेल होऊ ।’
24 The man who had received the single bag of gold came up, too, and said “Sir, I knew that you were a hard man; you reap where you have not sown, and gather up where you have not winnowed;
त्यसपछि एउटा सिक्का पाएको नोकर आयो र भन्यो, ‘मलाई थाहा छ, कि तपाईं कडा स्वभावको मानिस हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले आफूले नरोपेको ठाउँबाट कटनी गर्नुहुन्छ र नछरेको ठाउँबाट फसल निकाल्नुहुन्छ ।
25 and, in my fear, I went and hid your money in the ground; look, here is what belongs to you!”
मलाई डर थियो । त्यसकारण, म गएँ र तपाईंको सिक्कालाई जमिनमुनि लुकाइराखेँ । ‘हेर्नुहोस्, जे तपाईंको हो यसलाई लिनुहोस् ।’
26 “You lazy, worthless servant!” was his master’s reply. “You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather up where I have not winnowed?
तर उसको मालिकले जवाफ दिए र भने, ‘ए दुष्ट र अल्छी नोकर, मैले नरोपेको ठाउँबाट कटनी गर्छु र नछरेको ठाउँबाट फसल निकाल्छु भनेर तँलाई थाहा थियो ।
27 Then you ought to have placed my money in the hands of bankers, and I, on my return, should have received my money, with interest.
त्यसकारण, तैँले मेरो पैसा साहुकहाँ दिनुपर्ने थियो, र म आउँदा मैले आफ्नो पैसा ब्याजसहित पाउने थिएँ ।
28 Therefore,” he continued, “take away from him the one bag of gold, and give it to the one who has the ten bags.
त्यसकारण, त्योसँग भएको एक सिक्का लेओ र जुन नोकरसँग दस सिक्का छ त्यसलाई देओ ।
29 For, to him who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but, as for him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
किनकि जससँग छ त्यसलाई अझ धेरै दिइनेछ अर्थात् अझ प्रशस्त गरी दिइनेछ । तर जससँग छैन, त्यससँग भएको पनि त्यसबाट खोसिनेछ ।
30 As for the useless servant, put him out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
त्यो बेकम्मा नोकरलाई बाहिरी अन्धकारमा फालिदेओ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।’
31 ‘When the Son of Man has come in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory;
जब मानिसका पुत्र आफ्नो महिमामा आउनेछन् र उनको साथमा सारा स्वर्गदूतहरू आउनेछन्, उनी आफ्नो महिमित सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनेछन् ।
32 and all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people – just as a shepherd separates sheep from goats –
उनको सामुन्ने सारा जाति भेला गराइनेछन्, र जसरी गोठालाले आफ्ना भेडाहरूलाई बाख्राहरूबाट छुट्ट्याउँछ, त्यसरी नै उनले एउटा मानिसलाई अर्कोबाट छुट्ट्याउनेछन् ।
33 placing the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on his left.
उनले भेडाहरूलाई आफ्नो दायाँ हातपट्टि र बाख्राहरूलाई आफ्नो बायाँपट्टि राख्नेछन् ।
34 Then the king will say to those on his right “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, enter into possession of the kingdom prepared for you ever since the beginning of the world.
त्यसपछि राजाले आफ्नो दाहिनेपट्टि भएकाहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, ‘आओ, तिमीहरू जो मेरा पिताद्वारा आशिषित् भएका छौ, संसारको सृष्टिदेखि नै तिमीहरूका लागि तयार पारिएको राज्यलाई अधिकार गर ।
35 For, when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was a stranger, you took me to your homes;
किनकि म भोकाएको थिएँ, अनि तिमीहरूले मलाई खान दियौ; म प्यासी थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मलाई पिउन दियौ; म परदेशी थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मलाई भित्र आउन दियौ;
36 when I was naked, you clothed me; when I fell ill, you visited me; and when I was in prison, you came to me.”
म नाङ्गो थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मलाई लुगा पहिराइदियौ; म बिरामी थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मेरो वास्ता गर्यौ; म झ्यालखानामा थिएँ र तिमीहरू मकहाँ आयौ ।’
37 Then the righteous will answer “Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? Or thirsty, and give you a drink?
त्यसपछि धर्मी जनहरूले जवाफ दिई भन्नेछन्, ‘प्रभु हामीले कहिले तपाईंलाई भोकाउनुभएको देख्यौँ र तपाईंलाई खुवायौँ? वा तिर्खाउनुभएको देख्यौँ र तपाईंलाई पिउन दियौँ?
38 When did we see you a stranger, and take you to our homes? Or naked, and clothe you?
र हामीले कहिले तपाईंलाई परदेशी भएको देख्यौँ र तपाईंलाई भित्र ल्यायौँ?
39 When did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?”
र हामीले तपाईंलाई बिरामी वा झ्यालखानामा कहिले देख्यौँ र हामी तपाईंकहाँ आयौँ?’
40 And the king will reply “I tell you, as often as you did it to one of these my brothers or sisters, however unimportant they seemed, you did it to me.”
र राजाले जवाफ दिनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, ‘साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूले यहाँ मेरा भाइहरूमध्ये सानोभन्दा सानोलाई जे-जति गर्यौ, त्यो मेरो निम्ति नै गर्यौ ।’
41 Then he will say to those on his left “Go from my presence, accursed, into the permanent fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
त्यसपछि उनले आफ्नो बायाँ हातपट्टि भएकाहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, ‘हे श्रापितहरू, मबाट दूर भएर अनन्त आगोमा जाओ, जुन दुष्ट र त्यसका दूतहरूका लागि तयार गरिएको हो, (aiōnios g166)
42 For, when I was hungry, you gave me no food; when I was thirsty, you gave me no drink;
किनभने म भोकाएको थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई खान दिएनौ; म तिर्खाएको थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई पिउन दिएनौ;
43 when I was a stranger, you did not take me to your homes; when I was naked, you did not clothe me; and, when I was ill and in prison, you did not visit me.”
म परदेशी थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई भित्र लगेनौ; नाङ्गो थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई पहिराएनौ; बिरामी थिएँ र झ्यालखानामा थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मेरो वास्ता गरेनौ ।’
44 Then they, in their turn, will answer “Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or ill, or in prison, and did not supply your wants?”
त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले पनि जवाफ दिनेछन् र भन्नेछन्, ‘प्रभु, हामीले तपाईंलाई भोकाउनुभएको, वा तिर्खाउनुभएको, वा परदेशी, वा नाङ्गो, वा बिरामी हुनुभएको, वा झ्यालखानामा कहिले देख्यौँ र हामीले तपाईंको सेवा गरेनौँ?’
45 And then he will reply “I tell you, as often as you failed to do it to one of these, however unimportant, you failed to do it to me.”
अनि उनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनेछन् र भन्नेछन्, ‘साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यिनीहरूमध्ये सानोभन्दा सानोलाई तिमीहरूले जे गरेनौ, त्यो तिमीहरूले मेरो निम्ति गरेनौ ।’
