< Mark 2 >

1 [Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
कई दिन के बाद यीशु फिर कफरनहूम में आया और सुना गया, कि वह घर में है।
2 many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
फिर इतने लोग इकट्ठे हुए, कि द्वार के पास भी जगह नहीं मिली; और वह उन्हें वचन सुना रहा था।
3 Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
और लोग एक लकवे के मारे हुए को चार मनुष्यों से उठवाकर उसके पास ले आए।
4 They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
परन्तु जब वे भीड़ के कारण उसके निकट न पहुँच सके, तो उन्होंने उस छत को जिसके नीचे वह था, खोल दिया और जब उसे उधेड़ चुके, तो उस खाट को जिस पर लकवे का मारा हुआ पड़ा था, लटका दिया।
5 After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
यीशु ने, उनका विश्वास देखकर, उस लकवे के मारे हुए से कहा, “हे पुत्र, तेरे पाप क्षमा हुए।”
6 There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
तब कई एक शास्त्री जो वहाँ बैठे थे, अपने-अपने मन में विचार करने लगे,
7 “(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
“यह मनुष्य क्यों ऐसा कहता है? यह तो परमेश्वर की निन्दा करता है! परमेश्वर को छोड़ और कौन पाप क्षमा कर सकता है?”
8 Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
यीशु ने तुरन्त अपनी आत्मा में जान लिया, कि वे अपने-अपने मन में ऐसा विचार कर रहे हैं, और उनसे कहा, “तुम अपने-अपने मन में यह विचार क्यों कर रहे हो?
9 It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
सहज क्या है? क्या लकवे के मारे से यह कहना कि तेरे पाप क्षमा हुए, या यह कहना, कि उठ अपनी खाट उठाकर चल फिर?
10 So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
१०परन्तु जिससे तुम जान लो कि मनुष्य के पुत्र को पृथ्वी पर पाप क्षमा करने का भी अधिकार है।” उसने उस लकवे के मारे हुए से कहा,
11 “To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
११“मैं तुझ से कहता हूँ, उठ, अपनी खाट उठाकर अपने घर चला जा।”
12 The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
१२वह उठा, और तुरन्त खाट उठाकर सब के सामने से निकलकर चला गया; इस पर सब चकित हुए, और परमेश्वर की बड़ाई करके कहने लगे, “हमने ऐसा कभी नहीं देखा।”
13 Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
१३वह फिर निकलकर झील के किनारे गया, और सारी भीड़ उसके पास आई, और वह उन्हें उपदेश देने लगा।
14 As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
१४जाते हुए यीशु ने हलफईस के पुत्र लेवी को चुंगी की चौकी पर बैठे देखा, और उससे कहा, “मेरे पीछे हो ले।” और वह उठकर, उसके पीछे हो लिया।
15 [Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
१५और वह उसके घर में भोजन करने बैठा; और बहुत से चुंगी लेनेवाले और पापी भी उसके और चेलों के साथ भोजन करने बैठे, क्योंकि वे बहुत से थे, और उसके पीछे हो लिये थे।
16 The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
१६और शास्त्रियों और फरीसियों ने यह देखकर, कि वह तो पापियों और चुंगी लेनेवालों के साथ भोजन कर रहा है, उसके चेलों से कहा, “वह तो चुंगी लेनेवालों और पापियों के साथ खाता पीता है!”
17 After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
१७यीशु ने यह सुनकर, उनसे कहा, “भले चंगों को वैद्य की आवश्यकता नहीं, परन्तु बीमारों को है: मैं धर्मियों को नहीं, परन्तु पापियों को बुलाने आया हूँ।”
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
१८यूहन्ना के चेले, और फरीसी उपवास करते थे; अतः उन्होंने आकर उससे यह कहा; “यूहन्ना के चेले और फरीसियों के चेले क्यों उपवास रखते हैं, परन्तु तेरे चेले उपवास नहीं रखते?”
19 [Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
१९यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “जब तक दूल्हा बारातियों के साथ रहता है क्या वे उपवास कर सकते हैं? अतः जब तक दूल्हा उनके साथ है, तब तक वे उपवास नहीं कर सकते।
20 But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
२०परन्तु वे दिन आएँगे, कि दूल्हा उनसे अलग किया जाएगा; उस समय वे उपवास करेंगे।
21 [Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
२१“नये कपड़े का पैबन्द पुराने वस्त्र पर कोई नहीं लगाता; नहीं तो वह पैबन्द उसमें से कुछ खींच लेगा, अर्थात् नया, पुराने से, और अधिक फट जाएगा।
22 [Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
२२नये दाखरस को पुरानी मशकों में कोई नहीं रखता, नहीं तो दाखरस मशकों को फाड़ देगा, और दाखरस और मशकें दोनों नष्ट हो जाएँगी; परन्तु दाख का नया रस नई मशकों में भरा जाता है।”
23 On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
२३और ऐसा हुआ कि वह सब्त के दिन खेतों में से होकर जा रहा था; और उसके चेले चलते हुए बालें तोड़ने लगे।
24 [Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
२४तब फरीसियों ने उससे कहा, “देख, ये सब्त के दिन वह काम क्यों करते हैं जो उचित नहीं?”
25 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
२५उसने उनसे कहा, “क्या तुम ने कभी नहीं पढ़ा, कि जब दाऊद को आवश्यकता हुई और जब वह और उसके साथी भूखे हुए, तब उसने क्या किया था?
26 During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
२६उसने क्यों अबियातार महायाजक के समय, परमेश्वर के भवन में जाकर, भेंट की रोटियाँ खाईं, जिसका खाना याजकों को छोड़ और किसी को भी उचित नहीं, और अपने साथियों को भी दीं?”
27 Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
२७और उसने उनसे कहा, “सब्त का दिन मनुष्य के लिये बनाया गया है, न कि मनुष्यसब्त के दिन के लिये।
28 And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
२८इसलिए मनुष्य का पुत्र सब्त के दिन का भी स्वामी है।”
