< Matthew 17 >
1 A week after Jesus [said that], he took Peter, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James, and led them up a high mountain where they were away from other people.
१छः दिन के बाद यीशु ने पतरस और याकूब और उसके भाई यूहन्ना को साथ लिया, और उन्हें एकान्त में किसी ऊँचे पहाड़ पर ले गया।
2 [While they were there, the three disciples] saw that Jesus’ appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun, and his clothing [shone and] became as brilliant as light.
२और वहाँ उनके सामने उसका रूपान्तरण हुआ और उसका मुँह सूर्य के समान चमका और उसका वस्त्र ज्योति के समान उजला हो गया।
3 Suddenly Moses and Elijah, [who were important prophets many years ago], appeared and started talking with him.
३और मूसा और एलिय्याह उसके साथ बातें करते हुए उन्हें दिखाई दिए।
4 Peter [saw them and] said to Jesus, “Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here! If you want [me to], I will make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
४इस पर पतरस ने यीशु से कहा, “हे प्रभु, हमारा यहाँ रहना अच्छा है; यदि तेरी इच्छा हो तो मैं यहाँ तीन तम्बू बनाऊँ; एक तेरे लिये, एक मूसा के लिये, और एक एलिय्याह के लिये।”
5 While Peter was speaking, a bright cloud [appeared and] covered them. [They heard God] speaking [about Jesus from] inside the cloud. He said [to them], “This is my Son. I love him. He pleases me very much. [So] you must listen to him!”
५वह बोल ही रहा था, कि एक उजले बादल ने उन्हें छा लिया, और उस बादल में से यह शब्द निकला, “यह मेरा प्रिय पुत्र है, जिससे मैं प्रसन्न हूँ: इसकी सुनो।”
6 When the three disciples heard [God speaking], they were terrified. [As a result], they fell prostrate on the ground.
६चेले यह सुनकर मुँह के बल गिर गए और अत्यन्त डर गए।
7 But Jesus went to them and touched them [and] said [to them], “Stand up! Do not be afraid any more!”
७यीशु ने पास आकर उन्हें छुआ, और कहा, “उठो, डरो मत।”
8 And when they looked up [MTY], they saw that Jesus was the only one [who was still there].
८तब उन्होंने अपनी आँखें उठाकर यीशु को छोड़ और किसी को न देखा।
9 When they were walking down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you saw [on the mountain top] until [God has caused me], the one who has come from heaven, to become alive again after I die.”
९जब वे पहाड़ से उतर रहे थे तब यीशु ने उन्हें यह निर्देश दिया, “जब तक मनुष्य का पुत्र मरे हुओं में से न जी उठे, तब तक जो कुछ तुम ने देखा है किसी से न कहना।”
10 [Those three disciples had just seen Elijah and he did not do anything to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah], so they asked Jesus, “If [what you say is true], why do the men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that it is necessary for Elijah to come [back to earth] before [the Messiah comes]?”
१०और उसके चेलों ने उससे पूछा, “फिर शास्त्री क्यों कहते हैं, कि एलिय्याह का पहले आना अवश्य है?”
11 Jesus answered [them], “It is true that [God promised that] Elijah would come to prepare many [HYP] [people for the Messiah’s coming].
११उसने उत्तर दिया, “एलिय्याह तो अवश्य आएगा और सब कुछ सुधारेगा।
12 But note this: Elijah’s [representative] has already come, [and our leaders have seen him], but they did not recognize him [as the one who would come before the Messiah]. Instead, they treated him [badly], just like they desired. And those same rulers will soon treat [me], the one who came from heaven, in the same manner.”
१२परन्तु मैं तुम से कहता हूँ, किएलिय्याह आ चुका; और उन्होंने उसे नहीं पहचाना; परन्तु जैसा चाहा वैसा ही उसके साथ किया।इसी प्रकार सेमनुष्य का पुत्र भी उनके हाथ से दुःख उठाएगा।”
13 Then the three disciples understood that [when he was talking about Elijah], he was referring to John the Baptizer.
१३तब चेलों ने समझा कि उसने हम से यूहन्ना बपतिस्मा देनेवाले के विषय में कहा है।
14 When [Jesus and the three disciples] returned to the [rest of us disciples] and to the crowd [that had gathered], a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
१४जब वे भीड़ के पास पहुँचे, तो एक मनुष्य उसके पास आया, और घुटने टेककर कहने लगा।
15 He said [to him], “Sir/Lord, have mercy on my son and [heal him]! He has epilepsy and suffers very much. [Because of this illness], he has fallen in the fire and in the water many times.
१५“हे प्रभु, मेरे पुत्र पर दया कर! क्योंकि उसको मिर्गी आती है, और वह बहुत दुःख उठाता है; और बार बार आग में और बार बार पानी में गिर पड़ता है।
16 I brought him to your disciples [in order that they might heal him], but they were not able to heal him.”
१६और मैं उसको तेरे चेलों के पास लाया था, पर वे उसे अच्छा नहीं कर सके।”
17 Jesus responded [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything! Your minds] are distorted! How long do I have to be with you [before you] are [able to do what I do] [RHQ]? How long [do] I have to endure your [not believing] [RHQ]? Bring the boy here to me!”
१७यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, “हे अविश्वासी और हठीले लोगों, मैं कब तक तुम्हारे साथ रहूँगा? कब तक तुम्हारी सहूँगा? उसे यहाँ मेरे पास लाओ।”
18 When [they brought the boy to Jesus], Jesus rebuked the demon [that was causing the epilepsy]. [As a result], the demon came out of the boy, and right then the boy was healed.
१८तब यीशु ने उसे डाँटा, और दुष्टात्मा उसमें से निकला; और लड़का उसी समय अच्छा हो गया।
19 [Later, some of us] disciples approached Jesus. We asked him privately, “Why were we [(exc)] not able to expel the demon?”
१९तब चेलों ने एकान्त में यीशु के पास आकर कहा, “हम इसे क्यों नहीं निकाल सके?”
20 He answered us, “It is because you did not believe very much [in God’s power]. Think about this: Mustard seeds [are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe [that God will do what you ask him to], you will be able to do anything [LIT]! You [could even] say to this hill, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it would go [where you told it to go].”
२०उसने उनसे कहा, “अपने विश्वास की कमी के कारण: क्योंकि मैं तुम से सच कहता हूँ, यदि तुम्हारा विश्वासराई के दाने के बराबरभी हो, तो इस पहाड़ से कह सकोगे, ‘यहाँ से सरककर वहाँ चला जा’, तो वह चला जाएगा; और कोई बात तुम्हारे लिये अनहोनी न होगी।
२१[पर यह जाति बिना प्रार्थना और उपवास के नहीं निकलती।]”
22 When [we disciples] had gathered together in Galilee [district], Jesus said to us, “[I], the one who came from heaven, will soon be handed over {[Someone] will soon hand me, the one who came from heaven, over} to the authorities [SYN].
२२जब वे गलील में थे, तो यीशु ने उनसे कहा, “मनुष्य का पुत्र मनुष्यों के हाथ में पकड़वाया जाएगा।
23 They will kill me. But [God] will cause me to become alive again on the third day [after I am killed].” [When we heard that], we became very sad.
२३और वे उसे मार डालेंगे, और वह तीसरे दिन जी उठेगा।” इस पर वे बहुत उदास हुए।
24 When we came to Capernaum [city], the men who collect taxes [for the Temple approached Peter and said to him], “Your teacher pays the [Temple tax], does he not?”
२४जब वे कफरनहूम में पहुँचे, तो मन्दिर के लिये कर लेनेवालों ने पतरस के पास आकर पूछा, “क्या तुम्हारा गुरु मन्दिर का कर नहीं देता?”
25 He answered [them], “Yes, [he does pay it].” When we came into the house [where Jesus was saying], [before Peter began to talk about paying taxes], Jesus said [to him], “Simon, from whom do you think rulers collect revenue or taxes? [Do they collect taxes] from the citizens of their own [country], or from citizens of countries [they have conquered]?”
२५उसने कहा, “हाँ, देता है।” जब वह घर में आया, तो यीशु ने उसके पूछने से पहले उससे कहा, “हे शमौन तू क्या समझता है? पृथ्वी के राजा चुंगी या कर किन से लेते हैं? अपने पुत्रों से या परायों से?”
26 Peter answered [him], “From [citizens of] other [countries].” Then Jesus said to him, “So citizens of their own [country] do not need to [pay taxes].
२६पतरस ने उनसे कहा, “परायों से।” यीशु ने उससे कहा, “तो पुत्र बच गए।
27 But [even though the Temple is mine, pay the tax for us so that the Temple tax collectors will not become angry with us. In order to get the money to pay it], go to the lake. Cast your [fish line and] hook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a silver coin [that is worth enough to pay the tax] for you and me. Take that coin and give [it] to the Temple tax collectors.”
२७फिर भी हम उन्हें ठोकर न खिलाएँ, तू झील के किनारे जाकर बंसी डाल, और जो मछली पहले निकले, उसे ले; तो तुझे उसका मुँह खोलने पर एक सिक्का मिलेगा, उसी को लेकर मेरे और अपने बदले उन्हें दे देना।”
