लूका 20
1 १ एक दिन ऐसा हुआ कि जब वह मन्दिर में लोगों को उपदेश देता और सुसमाचार सुना रहा था, तो प्रधान याजक और शास्त्री, प्राचीनों के साथ पास आकर खड़े हुए।
On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, joined by the elders, confronted him,
2 २ और कहने लगे, “हमें बता, तू इन कामों को किस अधिकार से करता है, और वह कौन है, जिसने तुझे यह अधिकार दिया है?”
and addressing him, said, “Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it who has given you this authority?”
“I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
It is about John’s baptism – was it of divine or of human origin?”
5 ५ तब वे आपस में कहने लगे, “यदि हम कहें, ‘स्वर्ग की ओर से,’ तो वह कहेगा; ‘फिर तुम ने उस पर विश्वास क्यों नहीं किया?’
But they began arguing together, “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 ६ और यदि हम कहें, ‘मनुष्यों की ओर से,’ तो सब लोग हमें पथराव करेंगे, क्योंकि वे सचमुच जानते हैं, कि यूहन्ना भविष्यद्वक्ता था।”
But, if we say ‘human,’ the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
So they answered that they did not know its origin.
“Then I,” said Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
9 ९ तब वह लोगों से यह दृष्टान्त कहने लगा, “किसी मनुष्य ने दाख की बारी लगाई, और किसानों को उसका ठेका दे दिया और बहुत दिनों के लिये परदेश चला गया।
But Jesus began to tell the people this parable – “A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.
10 १० नियुक्त समय पर उसने किसानों के पास एक दास को भेजा, कि वे दाख की बारी के कुछ फलों का भाग उसे दें, पर किसानों ने उसे पीटकर खाली हाथ लौटा दिया।
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they could give him a share of the produce of the vineyard. The tenants, however, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
The owner afterward sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.
He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
13 १३ तब दाख की बारी के स्वामी ने कहा, ‘मैं क्या करूँ? मैं अपने प्रिय पुत्र को भेजूँगा, क्या जाने वे उसका आदर करें।’
‘What should I do?’ said the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14 १४ जब किसानों ने उसे देखा तो आपस में विचार करने लगे, ‘यह तो वारिस है; आओ, हम उसे मार डालें, कि विरासत हमारी हो जाए।’
But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. ‘Here is the heir!’ they said. ‘Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.’
15 १५ और उन्होंने उसे दाख की बारी से बाहर निकालकर मार डाला: इसलिए दाख की बारी का स्वामी उनके साथ क्या करेगा?
So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 १६ “वह आकर उन किसानों को नाश करेगा, और दाख की बारी दूसरों को सौंपेगा।” यह सुनकर उन्होंने कहा, “परमेश्वर ऐसा न करे।”
He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others.” “Heaven forbid!” they exclaimed when they heard it.
17 १७ उसने उनकी ओर देखकर कहा, “फिर यह क्या लिखा है: ‘जिस पत्थर को राजमिस्त्रियों ने निकम्मा ठहराया था, वही कोने का सिरा हो गया।’
But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is the meaning of this passage? – ‘The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone.’
Everyone who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.”
19 १९ उसी घड़ी शास्त्रियों और प्रधान याजकों ने उसे पकड़ना चाहा, क्योंकि समझ गए थे, कि उसने उनके विरुद्ध दृष्टान्त कहा, परन्तु वे लोगों से डरे।
After this the teachers of the Law and the chief priest were eager to lay hands on Jesus then and there, but they were afraid of the people; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed this parable.
20 २० और वे उसकी ताक में लगे और भेदिए भेजे, कि धर्मी का भेष धरकर उसकी कोई न कोई बात पकड़ें, कि उसे राज्यपाल के हाथ और अधिकार में सौंप दें।
Having watched their opportunity, they afterward sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor’s jurisdiction and authority.
21 २१ उन्होंने उससे यह पूछा, “हे गुरु, हम जानते हैं कि तू ठीक कहता, और सिखाता भी है, और किसी का पक्षपात नहीं करता; वरन् परमेश्वर का मार्ग सच्चाई से बताता है।
These spies asked Jesus a question. They said, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly;
are we right in paying tribute to the Emperor or not?”
Seeing through their deceitfulness, Jesus said to them,
“Show me a coin. Whose head and title are on it?”
“The Emperor’s,” they said; and Jesus replied, “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
They could not object to this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.
Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
28 २८ “हे गुरु, मूसा ने हमारे लिये यह लिखा है, ‘यदि किसी का भाई अपनी पत्नी के रहते हुए बिना सन्तान मर जाए, तो उसका भाई उसकी पत्नी से विवाह कर ले, और अपने भाई के लिये वंश उत्पन्न करे।’
“Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that – ‘Should a man’s married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.’
Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.
The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;
and so, too, did all seven – dying without children.
The woman herself was the last to die.
About the woman, then – at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
“The men and women of this world,” said Jesus, “marry and are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
35 ३५ पर जो लोग इस योग्य ठहरेंगे, की उस युग को और मरे हुओं में से जी उठना प्राप्त करें, उनमें विवाह-शादी न होगी। (aiōn g165)
but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, (aiōn g165)
36 ३६ वे फिर मरने के भी नहीं; क्योंकि वे स्वर्गदूतों के समान होंगे, और पुनरुत्थान की सन्तान होने से परमेश्वर के भी सन्तान होंगे।
nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s children.
37 ३७ परन्तु इस बात को कि मरे हुए जी उठते हैं, मूसा ने भी झाड़ी की कथा में प्रगट की है, वह प्रभु को ‘अब्राहम का परमेश्वर, और इसहाक का परमेश्वर, और याकूब का परमेश्वर’ कहता है।
As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord – ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
Now he is not God of dead people, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”
“Well said, teacher!” exclaimed some of the teachers of the Law,
for they did not venture to question him any further.
But Jesus said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
For David, in the book of Psalms, says himself – ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.’
David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David’s son?”
While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples,
46 ४६ “शास्त्रियों से सावधान रहो, जिनको लम्बे-लम्बे वस्त्र पहने हुए फिरना अच्छा लगता है, और जिन्हें बाजारों में नमस्कार, और आराधनालयों में मुख्य आसन और भोज में मुख्य स्थान प्रिय लगते हैं।
“Be on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at dinner.
47 ४७ वे विधवाओं के घर खा जाते हैं, और दिखाने के लिये बड़ी देर तक प्रार्थना करते रहते हैं, ये बहुत ही दण्ड पाएँगे।”
These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
