< Matthew 21 >
1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
जब येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू यरूशलेमको नजिक पुग्नुभयो र जैतून डाँडाको बेथफागे भनिने ठाउँमा आइपुग्नुभयो, तब येशूले दुई जना चेलालाई पठाउनुभयो,
2 saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
र यसो भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू सामुन्नेको गाउँमा जाओ, र तिमीहरूले त्यहाँ पुग्ने बित्तिकै बाँधेर राखिएको एउटा गधा, र त्यससँग एउटा बछेडा भेट्टाउनेछौ । तिनीहरूलाई फुकाओ र मकहाँ ल्याओ ।
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
यदि यसको विषयमा कसैले केही भन्यो भने तिमीहरूले यसो भन, ‘प्रभुलाई यसको आवश्यक परेको छ’ र त्यस मानिसले तुरुन्तै तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूसँग पठाइदिनेछन् ।”
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
अगमवक्ताद्वारा भनिएको कुरा पुरा हुनलाई यस्तो हुन आयो । उहाँले भन्नुभयो,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
“‘सियोनकी छोरीलाई भन, हेर, विनम्र भई र गधामाथि सवार भएर अनि गधाको बच्चा अर्थात् एउटा बछेडामाथि चढेर तिम्रा राजा तिमीकहाँ आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।’”
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
तब चेलाहरू गए र येशूले जस्तो निर्देशन दिनुभएको थियो, त्यस्तै गरे ।
7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
तिनीहरूले गधा र बछेडालाई ल्याए र तिनीहरूमाथि आफ्ना कपडाहरू बिछ्याइदिए, र येशू ती कपडाहरूमाथि बस्नुभयो ।
8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
भिडमा भएकाहरू धेरैले आफ्ना कपडाहरू बाटोमा बिछ्याइदिए, र अरूहरूले रुखका हाँगाहरू भाँचे र ती बाटोमा फैलाइदिए ।
9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
येशूको अगि गएका र उहाँलाई पछ्याएका सबै भिडले यसो भन्दै चिच्च्याए, “दाऊदका पुत्रलाई होसन्ना! उहाँ धन्यको हुनुहुन्छ जो परमेश्वरको नाउँमा आउनुहुन्छ! उच्चमा विराजमान हुनुहुनेलाई होसन्ना!”
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
जब येशू यरूशलेमभित्र आउनुभएको थियो, सारा सहरमा हलचल भयो र तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनी को हुन्?”
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
भिडले जवाफ दियो, “उहाँ येशू हुनुहुन्छ, गालीलको नासरतबाट आउनुभएका अगमवक्ता ।”
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
त्यसपछि येशू मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गर्नुभयो । उहाँले मन्दिरभित्र खरिद गर्ने र बेच्ने सबैलाई बाहिर निकालिदिनुभयो, र पैसा साट्नेहरूका टेबुलहरू अनि परेवा बेच्नेहरूका आसनहरू पल्टाइदिनुभयो ।
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यस्तो लेखिएको छ, ‘मेरो घर प्रार्थनाको घर कहलाइनेछ,’ तर तिमीहरूले यसलाई डाँकुहरूका अड्डा बनाउँछौ ।”
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
तब दृष्टिविहीनहरू र लङ्गडाहरू मन्दिरभित्र आए, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
तर जब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूले उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरू देखे, र जब तिनीहरूले मन्दिरमा केटाकेटीहरूले “दाऊदका पुत्रलाई होसन्ना” भनेर चिच्च्याइरकेका सुने, तिनीहरू रिसले चुर भए ।
16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “के यी मानिसहरूले जे भनिरहेका छन्, तिमी सुन्न सक्छौ?” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हो! तर के तिमीहरूले कहिल्यै पढेका छैनौ, ‘दूधे बालक र शिशुहरूको मुखबाट उहाँले पूर्ण प्रशंसा लिनुभएको छ’?”
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
त्यसपछि येशू तिनीहरूबाट बिदा हुनुभयो र बेथानीको सहरमा जानुभयो र उहाँले त्यो रात त्यहीँ बिताउनुभयो ।
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
बिहान जब उहाँ सहरमा फर्कनुभयो, उहाँ भोकाउनुभएको थियो ।
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn )
उहाँले बाटोको छेउमा एउटा अन्जीरको बोट देख्नुभयो, उहाँ त्यसको नजिक जानुभयो र त्यसमा पातहरूबाहेक अरू केही भेट्टाउनुभएन । उहाँले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँबाट अब कहिल्यै पनि फेरि कुनै फल नआओस् ।” र त्यो अन्जीरको बोट तुरुन्तै सुकिहाल्यो । (aiōn )
20 When the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
जब चेलाहरूले यो देखे, तिनीहरू अचम्मित भए र भने, “यति चाँडै यो बोट कसरी सुकेर गयो?”
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि तिमीहरूमा विश्वास छ र शङ्का गरेनौ भने यस अन्जीरको बोटलाई जे गरिएको थियो त्यो मात्र होइन, तर तिमीहरूले यस पहाडलाई, ‘यहाँबाट उखेलिएर समुद्रमा जा’ भन्यौ भने पनि त्यसै हुनेछ ।
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
तिमीहरूले विश्वास गरेर जेसुकै कुरा प्रार्थनामा माग्छौ, त्यो तिमीहरूले पाउनेछौ ।”
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
जब येशू मन्दिरमा आउनुभएको थियो, उहाँले सिकाउँदै गर्नुहुँदा मुख्य पुजारीहरू र मानिसका अगुवाहरू उहाँकहाँ आएर भने, “तिमीले कुन अधिकारले यी कुराहरू गर्दछौ? र तिमीलाई यो अधिकार कसले दियो?”
24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “म पनि तिमीहरूलाई एउटा प्रश्न सोध्नेछु । यदि तिमीहरूले मलाई त्यो बतायौ भने, मैले कुन अधिकारले यी कुराहरू गर्छु भन्ने कुरा म तिमीहरूलाई बताउनेछु ।
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
यूहन्नाको बप्तिस्मा कहाँबाट आएको हो? स्वर्गबाट हो या मानिसहरूबाट?” तिनीहरूले एक आपसमा यस्तो भन्दै छलफल गरे, “यदि हामीले ‘स्वर्गबाट’ भन्यौँ भने, उसले हामीलाई ‘त्यसो भए, तिमीहरूले उनलाई किन विश्वास गरेनौ?’ भनेर भन्नेछन् ।
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
तर यदि हामीले ‘मानिसबाट’ भन्यौँ भने, हामी भिडसँग डराउँदछौँ, किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले यूहन्नालाई एक अगमवक्ताको रूपमा हेर्दथे ।”
27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
तब तिनीहरूले येशूलाई जवाफ दिएर भने, “हामीलाई थाहा छैन ।” उहाँले पनि तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो “म पनि कुन अधिकारले यी कुराहरू गर्दछु भनेर तिमीहरूलाई भन्दिनँ ।
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
तर तिमीहरू के विचार गर्दछौ? एक जना मानिसका दुई जना छोरा थिए । उनी पहिलोकहाँ गएर भने, ‘छोरा आज दाखबारीमा गएर काम गर ।’
29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
त्यो छोराले जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, ‘म जान्नँ,’ तर केही समयपछि उसले आफ्नो मन बद्ल्यो र गयो ।
30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
र त्यो मानिस आफ्नो दोस्रो छोराकहाँ गए र त्यही कुरा भने । यो छोराले जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, ‘हजुर, म जानेछु,’ तर त्यो गएन ।
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
यी दुई जनामध्ये कुनचाहिँ छोराले आफ्नो बुबाको इच्छा पुरा गर्यो?” तिनीहरूले भने, “पहिलो चाहिँले ।” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूभन्दा पहिले कर उठाउनेहरू र यौनकर्मीहरू परमेश्वरको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नेछन् ।
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
किनकि यूहन्ना तिमीहरूकहाँ धार्मिकताको बाटोमा आए, तर तिमीहरूले उनलाई विश्वास गरेनौ, जब कि कर उठाउनेहरू र यौनकर्मीहरूले उनलाई विश्वास गरे । र तिमीहरूले जब यो भइरहेको देख्यौ, उनमा विश्वास गर्नलाई पछि तिमीहरूले पश्चात्ताप पनि गरेनौ ।
33 “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
अर्को दृष्टान्त सुन । एक जना मानिस थिए, जो जमिन मालिक थिए । उनले त्यहाँ दाखबारी लगाए र त्यसको वरिपरि बार लगाए; त्यहाँ दाख पेल्ने कोल बनाए; रेखदेखको निम्ति एउटा धरहरा बनाए; र खेतालाहरूलाई त्यसको ठेक्का दिए । त्यसपछि उनी अर्कै देशमा गए ।
34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
जब दाखको फसलको समय आयो, उनले दाखबारीका खेतालाहरूकहाँ दाख ल्याउनको लागि नोकरहरू पठाए ।
35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
तर दाखबारीका खेतालाहरूले उनका नोकरहरूलाई वशमा लिए; एउटालाई पिटे; अर्कोलाई मारे, र अर्कोलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हिर्काए ।
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
फेरि, मालिकले पहिले भन्दा अझ धेरै नोकरहरू पठाए, तर ती दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पनि त्यस्तै व्यवहार गरे ।
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
त्यसपछि मालिकले यसो भन्दै आफ्नै छोरालाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाए, ‘तिनीहरूले मेरा छोरालाई आदर गर्नेछन् ।’
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said amongst themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
तर जब दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले मालिकका छोरालाई देखे, तिनीहरूले एक आपसमा भने, ‘यो त उत्तराधिकारी हो । आओ, हामी यसलाई मारौँ र यसको उत्तराधिकार लिऔँ ।’
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
यसैले, तिनीहरूले उसलाई पक्रे, दाखबारीबाट बाहिर फ्याँकिदिए, र उसलाई मारे ।
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
जब त्यस दाखबारीका मालिक आउँछन्, तिनले ती दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूलाई के गर्लान्?”
41 They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “उनले ती दुष्ट मानिसहरूलाई सबैभन्दा भयानक तरिकाले नाश गर्नेछन् र त्यो दाखबारी ती मानिसहरूलाई ठेक्कामा दिनेछन्, जसले फल पाकिसकेपछि त्यसको निम्ति मोल तिर्दछन् ।”
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvellous in our eyes’?
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले कहिल्यै धर्मशास्त्रमा पढेनौ, ‘जुन ढुङ्गालाई भवन निर्माण गर्नेहरूले रद्ध गरे त्यहीचाहिँ कुनाको शिर ढुङ्गो बन्यो । यो परमप्रभुबाट भएको हो, अनि हाम्रो दृष्टिमा यो आश्चर्यपूर्ण छ?’
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
यसकारण, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, परमेश्वरको राज्य तिमीहरूबाट टाढा लगिनेछ र एउटा यस्तो जातिलाई दिइनेछ जसले आफ्नो फल फलाउनेछ ।
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
जो यस ढुङ्गामा खस्दछ, त्यो टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ । तर जसमाथि यो खस्दछ, त्यो कुल्चिनेछ ।”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
जब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूले उहाँका दृष्टान्तहरू सुने, तिनीहरूकै विषयमा उहाँले बोलिरहनुभएको थियो भन्ने तिनीहरूले बुझे ।
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रनचाहन्थे, तर मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई अगमवक्ता मान्ने हुनाले तिनीहरू भिडसँग डराए ।
