मत्ती 22
Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
3 ३ और उसने अपने दासों को भेजा, कि निमंत्रित लोगों को विवाह के भोज में बुलाएँ; परन्तु उन्होंने आना न चाहा।
He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
4 ४ फिर उसने और दासों को यह कहकर भेजा, ‘निमंत्रित लोगों से कहो: देखो, मैं भोज तैयार कर चुका हूँ, और मेरे बैल और पले हुए पशु मारे गए हैं और सब कुछ तैयार है; विवाह के भोज में आओ।’
Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7 ७ तब राजा को क्रोध आया, और उसने अपनी सेना भेजकर उन हत्यारों को नाश किया, और उनके नगर को फूँक दिया।
The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
10 १० अतः उन दासों ने सड़कों पर जाकर क्या बुरे, क्या भले, जितने मिले, सब को इकट्ठा किया; और विवाह का घर अतिथियों से भर गया।
So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 ११ “जब राजा अतिथियों को देखने को भीतर आया; तो उसने वहाँ एक मनुष्य को देखा, जोविवाह का वस्त्र नहीं पहने था।
But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
12 १२ उसने उससे पूछा, ‘हे मित्र; तू विवाह का वस्त्र पहने बिना यहाँ क्यों आ गया?’ और वह मनुष्य चुप हो गया।
‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
13 १३ तब राजा ने सेवकों से कहा, ‘इसके हाथ-पाँव बाँधकर उसे बाहर अंधियारे में डाल दो, वहाँ रोना, और दाँत पीसना होगा।’
Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
16 १६ अतः उन्होंने अपने चेलों को हेरोदियों के साथ उसके पास यह कहने को भेजा, “हे गुरु, हम जानते हैं, कि तू सच्चा है, और परमेश्वर का मार्ग सच्चाई से सिखाता है, और किसी की परवाह नहीं करता, क्योंकि तू मनुष्यों का मुँह देखकर बातें नहीं करता।
They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
“Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
21 २१ उन्होंने उससे कहा, “कैसर का।” तब उसने उनसे कहा, “जो कैसर का है, वह कैसर को; और जो परमेश्वर का है, वह परमेश्वर को दो।”
“Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
24 २४ “हे गुरु, मूसा ने कहा था, कि यदि कोई बिना सन्तान मर जाए, तो उसका भाई उसकी पत्नी को विवाह करके अपने भाई के लिये वंश उत्पन्न करे।
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
25 २५ अब हमारे यहाँ सात भाई थे; पहला विवाह करके मर गया; और सन्तान न होने के कारण अपनी पत्नी को अपने भाई के लिये छोड़ गया।
Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
And last of all, the woman died.
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29 २९ यीशु ने उन्हें उत्तर दिया, “तुम पवित्रशास्त्र और परमेश्वर की सामर्थ्य नहीं जानते; इस कारण भूल में पड़ गए हो।
Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
31 ३१ परन्तु मरे हुओं के जी उठने के विषय में क्या तुम ने यह वचन नहीं पढ़ा जो परमेश्वर ने तुम से कहा:
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
32 ३२ ‘मैं अब्राहम का परमेश्वर, और इसहाक का परमेश्वर, और याकूब का परमेश्वर हूँ?’ वह तो मरे हुओं का नहीं, परन्तु जीवितों का परमेश्वर है।”
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
“Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
37 ३७ उसने उससे कहा, “तू परमेश्वर अपने प्रभु से अपने सारे मन और अपने सारे प्राण और अपनी सारी बुद्धि के साथ प्रेम रख।
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
44 ४४ ‘प्रभु ने, मेरे प्रभु से कहा, मेरे दाहिने बैठ, जब तक कि मैं तेरे बैरियों को तेरे पाँवों के नीचे की चौकी न कर दूँ।’
‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
46 ४६ उसके उत्तर में कोई भी एक बात न कह सका। परन्तु उस दिन से किसी को फिर उससे कुछ पूछने का साहस न हुआ।
No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
