Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
तब तिनीहरूले कसरी सधैँ प्रार्थना गर्नुपर्छ र निरुत्साह हुनुहुँदैन भन्ने सम्बन्धमा उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग दृष्टान्तमा बोल्नुभयो ।
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “कुनै एउटा सहरमा एक जना न्यायाधीश बस्दथे, जसले परमेश्वरको भय मान्दैनथे र मानिसहरूको पनि आदर गर्दैनथे ।
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
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 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
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 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
तर यस विधवाले मलाई सताउँछे । त्यसैले, मकहाँ बारम्बार आएर यसले मलाई नसताओस् भनेर, म उसलाई न्याय दिलाउनेछु’ ।”
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
तब प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “ती अन्यायी न्यायाधीशले के भन्छन्, सुन ।
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
के परमेश्वरले पनि उहाँलाई दिनरात पुकारा गर्ने आफ्ना चुनिएका मानिसहरूको निम्ति न्याय गरिदिनुहुन्न र? के उहाँ तिनीहरूप्रति धैर्यवान् हुनुहुन्न र?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै न्याय दिलाउनुहुनेछ । तर जब मानिसका पुत्र आउनेछन्, के उनले पृथ्वीमा विश्वास भेट्टाउनेछन् र?”
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
त्यसपछि उहाँले आफैँलाई धर्मी ठान्ने र अरूलाई तुच्छ ठान्ने कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त पनि भन्नुभयो,
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
“दुई जना मानिस मन्दिरमा प्रार्थना गर्न गए– एक जना फरिसी र अर्को कर उठाउने ।
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
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 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
म हरेक हप्ता दुई पटक उपवास बस्दछु । म आफूले पाएका सबै थोकको दशांश दिन्छु ।’
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
तर कर उठाउने मानिसले टाढैबाट उभिएर, स्वर्गतिर पनि नहेरीकन आफ्नो छाती पिट्दै यसो भन्यो, ‘हे परमेश्वर म पापीमाथि कृपालु हुनुहोस् ।’
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
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 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई छोइदिऊन् भनी मानिसहरूले बालबालिकाहरूलाई पनि उहाँकहाँ ल्याए, तर यो यो देखेर चेलाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई हकारे ।
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साना बालबालिकाहरूलाई मकहाँ आउन देओ, तिनीहरूलाई नरोक, किनभने स्वर्गको राज्य यस्तैहरूको हो ।
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि कसैले परमेश्वरको राज्यलाई बालकले झैँ ग्रहण गर्दैन भने त्यो निश्चय नै स्वर्गमा प्रवेश गर्नेछैन ।”
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
एक जना शासकले उहाँलाई सोधे, “हे असल गुरु, अनन्त जीवन प्राप्त गर्न मैले के गर्नुपर्छ?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “किन मलाई असल भन्दछौ, एक परमेश्वरबाहेक कोही पनि असल छैन ।
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
तिमीलाई आज्ञाहरू थाहा छ– तैँले व्यभिचार नगर्नू, हत्या नगर्नू, नचोर्नू, झुटो गवाही नदिनू, आफ्ना आमाबुबाको आदर गर्नू ।”
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
ती शासकले भने, “यी सब कुराहरू त मैले आफ्नो जवान अवस्थादेखि नै पालन गरिरहेको छु ।”
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
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 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
तर जब धनी मानिसले यो कुरा सुने, तिनी अति नै दुःखित भए, कारण तिनी धेरै धनी थिए ।
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
तब येशूले तिनलाई हेरेर अति दुःखित हुँदै भन्नुभयो, “धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्न कति गाह्रो छ!
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नुभन्दा बरु उँटलाई सियोको नाथ्रीबाट छिर्नु सजिलो हुन्छ!”
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
त्यो सुन्नेहरूले यसो भने, “त्यसो भए को बचाइनेछ त?”
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मानिसको निम्ति जुन कुरा असम्भव छ, त्यो परमेश्वरमा सम्भव छ ।”
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
पत्रुसले जवाफ दिए, “हामीले आफ्ना सबै कुराहरू त्यागेर तपाईंको पछि लागेका छौँ ।”
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जसले परमेश्वरको राज्यको खातिर घर, श्रीमती वा दाजुभाइ, आमाबुबा वा छोराछोरीलाई त्याग्दछन्,
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
बाह्र जनालाई आफूकहाँ भेला गरेर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर, हामी यरूशलेमतर्फ जाँदै छौँ, अनि मानिसका पुत्रको बारेमा अगमवक्ताहरूले लेखेका सबै कुरा पुरा हुनेछन् ।
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
किनकि उनी अन्यजातिहरूका हातमा सुम्पिइनेछन् र मनिसहरूले उनलाई गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र अपमानजनक व्यवहार गर्नेछन् र उनलाई थुक्नेछन् ।
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
उनलाई दण्ड दिइसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्नेछन् र तेस्रो दिनमा उनी मृत्युबाट जीवित भई उठ्नेछन् ।”
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
उनीहरूले यी कुनै पनि कुराहरू बुझेनन् र यो वचन उनीहरूबाट लुकाइएका थिए, यसकारण भनिएका कुनै पनि कुराहरू उनीहरूको समझमा आएन ।
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
येशू यरीहो नजिक आउनुहुँदा, एक जना दृष्टिविहीन मानिस बाटोको छेउमा बसी भिख मागिरहेको थियो ।
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
त्यो बाटो भएर ठुलो भिड गइरहेको कुरा सुनेर उसले सोध्यो, “यहाँ के हुँदै छ?”
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “नासरतका येशू यो बाटो भएर जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
त्यसपछि त्यो दृष्टिविहीन मानिसले चिच्याउँदै भन्यो, “हे दाऊदका पुत्र येशू, ममाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।”
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity 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 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
येशू टक्क उभिनुभयो र त्यस दृष्टिविहीन मानिसलाई आफूकहाँ ल्याउन आज्ञा गर्नुभयो । जब त्यस दृष्टिविहीन मानिस येशूको नजिक आयो, येशूले उसलाई सोध्नुभयो,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
“मैले तिम्रो निम्ति के गरेको तिमी चाहन्छौ?” उसले भन्यो, “प्रभु, म देख्न चाहन्छु ।”
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिमी देख्ने भइ जाऊ । तिम्रो विश्वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ ।”
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
तुरुन्तै उसले देख्न सक्यो र परमेश्वरको महिमा गर्दै उहाँलाई पछ्यायो । यो देखेर सबै मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।
