Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
अपना कथन समाप्त करने के बाद येशु गलील प्रदेश से निकलकर यहूदिया प्रदेश के उस क्षेत्र में आ गए, जो यरदन नदी के पार है.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
वहां एक बड़ी भीड़ उनके पीछे हो ली और येशु ने रोगियों को स्वस्थ किया.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
कुछ फ़रीसी येशु को परखने के उद्देश्य से उनके पास आए तथा उनसे प्रश्न किया, “क्या पत्नी से तलाक के लिए पति द्वारा प्रस्तुत कोई भी कारण वैध कहा जा सकता है?”
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
येशु ने उन्हें उत्तर दिया, “क्या तुमने पढ़ा नहीं कि वह, जिन्होंने उनकी सृष्टि की, उन्होंने प्रारंभ ही से उन्हें नर और नारी बनाया
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
और कहा, ‘इस कारण पुरुष अपने माता-पिता को छोड़कर अपनी पत्नी से मिला रहेगा तथा वे दोनों एक देह होंगे.’
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
परिणामस्वरूप अब वे दो नहीं परंतु एक शरीर हैं. इसलिये जिन्हें स्वयं परमेश्वर ने जोड़ा है, उन्हें कोई मनुष्य अलग न करे.”
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
यह सुन उन्होंने येशु से पूछा, “तो फिर मोशेह की व्यवस्था में यह प्रबंध क्यों है कि तलाक पत्र देकर पत्नी को छोड़ दिया जाए?”
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
येशु ने उन पर यह सच स्पष्ट किया, “तुम्हारे हृदय की कठोरता के कारण ही मोशेह ने तुम्हारे लिए तुम्हारी पत्नी से तलाक की अनुमति दी थी. प्रारंभ ही से यह प्रबंध नहीं था.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
तुमसे मेरा कहना है कि जो कोई व्यभिचार के अतिरिक्त किसी अन्य कारण से अपनी पत्नी से तलाक कर लेता है और अन्य स्त्री से विवाह करता है, वह व्यभिचार करता है.”
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
शिष्यों ने येशु से कहा, “यदि पति-पत्नी का संबंध ऐसा है तब तो उत्तम यही होगा कि विवाह किया ही न जाए.”
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
येशु ने इसके उत्तर में कहा, “यह स्थिति सब पुरुषों के लिए स्वीकार नहीं हो सकती—अतिरिक्त उनके, जिन्हें परमेश्वर ने ऐसा बनाया है,
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
कुछ नपुंसक हैं, जो माता के गर्भ से ही ऐसे जन्मे हैं; कुछ हैं, जिन्हें मनुष्यों ने ऐसा बना दिया है तथा कुछ ने स्वर्ग-राज्य के लिए स्वयं को ऐसा बना लिया है. जो इसे समझ सकता है, समझ ले.”
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
कुछ लोग बालकों को येशु के पास लाए कि येशु उन पर हाथ रखकर उनके लिए प्रार्थना करें, मगर शिष्यों ने उन लोगों को डांटा.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “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’s rule [in their lives].”
यह सुन येशु ने उनसे कहा, “बालकों को यहां आने दो, उन्हें मेरे पास आने से मत रोको क्योंकि स्वर्ग-राज्य ऐसों का ही है.”
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
यह कहते हुए येशु ने बालकों पर हाथ रखा, इसके बाद येशु वहां से आगे चले गए.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
एक व्यक्ति ने आकर येशु से प्रश्न किया, “गुरुवर, अनंत काल का जीवन प्राप्त करने के लिए मैं कौन सा अच्छा काम करूं?” येशु ने उसे उत्तर दिया. (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
“तुम मुझसे क्यों पूछते हो कि अच्छा क्या है? उत्तम तो मात्र एक ही हैं. परंतु यदि तुम जीवन में प्रवेश की कामना करते ही हो तो आदेशों का पालन करो.”
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
“कौन से?” उसने येशु से प्रश्न किया. उन्होंने उसे उत्तर दिया, “हत्या मत करो; व्यभिचार मत करो; चोरी मत करो; झूठी गवाही मत दो;
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
अपने माता-पिता का सम्मान करो तथा तुम अपने पड़ोसी से वैसे ही प्रेम करो जैसे तुम स्वयं से करते हो.”
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
उस युवक ने येशु को उत्तर दिया, “मैं तो इनका पालन करता रहा हूं; फिर अब भी क्या कमी है मुझमें?”
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
येशु ने उसे उत्तर दिया, “यदि तुम सिद्ध बनना चाहते हो तो अपनी संपत्ति को बेचकर उस राशि को निर्धनों में बांट दो और आओ, मेरे पीछे हो लो—धन तुम्हें स्वर्ग में प्राप्त होगा.”
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
यह सुनकर वह युवक दुःखी हो लौट गया क्योंकि वह बहुत धन का स्वामी था.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
अपने शिष्यों से उन्मुख हो येशु ने कहा, “मैं तुम पर एक सच प्रकट कर रहा हूं; किसी धनी व्यक्ति का स्वर्ग-राज्य में प्रवेश कठिन है.
24 Note this also: 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].”
वास्तव में परमेश्वर के राज्य में एक धनी के प्रवेश करने से एक ऊंट का सुई के छेद में से पार हो जाना सहज है.”
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
यह सुनकर शिष्य चकित हो येशु से पूछने लगे, “तो उद्धार कौन पाएगा?”
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
येशु ने उनकी ओर एकटक देखते हुए उन्हें उत्तर दिया, “मनुष्य के लिए तो यह असंभव है किंतु परमेश्वर के लिए सब कुछ संभव है.”
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
इस पर पेतरॉस येशु से बोले, “देखिए, हम तो सब कुछ त्याग कर आपके पीछे हो लिए हैं. हमारा पुरस्कार क्या होगा?”
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
येशु ने सभी शिष्यों को संबोधित करते हुए कहा, “यह सच है कि उस समय, जब मनुष्य का पुत्र नये युग में अपने वैभवशाली सिंहासन पर विराजमान होगा, तुम भी, जो मेरे चेले बन गए हो, इस्राएल के बारह गोत्रों का न्याय करते हुए बारह सिंहासनों पर विराजमान होगे.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
हर एक, जिसने मेरे लिए घर, भाई-बहन, माता-पिता, संतान या खेतों का त्याग किया है, इनसे कई गुणा प्राप्त करेगा और वह अनंत काल के जीवन का वारिस होगा (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
किंतु अनेक, जो पहले हैं, वे अंतिम होंगे तथा जो अंतिम हैं, वे पहले.
