< यूहन्‍ना 11 >

1 लाजरस नाम गरेका मानिस बिरामी थिए । तिनी तिनकी दिदीहरू मरियम र मार्थाको गाउँ बेथानियाका थिए ।
At this time a man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 यिनी तिनै मरियम थिइन् जसले प्रभुलाई मूर्रले अभिषेक गरिन् र उहाँका खुट्टा आफ्नो कपालले पुछेकी थिइन्, जसका भाइ लाजरस बिरामी थिए ।
(Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was to anoint the Lord with perfume and wipe His feet with her hair.)
3 यी दुई दिदी-बहिनीले येशूलाई बोलाउन पठाए “प्रभु, हेर्नुहोस्, तपाईंले जसलाई माया गर्नुहुन्छ तिनी बिरामी छन् ।”
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one You love is sick.”
4 जब येशूले यो सुन्‍नुभयो, उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “यस बिरामीले मृत्युमा पुर्‍याउँदैन, तर बरु यो परमेश्‍वरको महिमाको निम्ति हो, ताकि परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र यसद्वारा महिमित हुन सकून् ।”
When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 येशूले मार्था र तिनकी बहिनी अनि लाजरसलाई माया गर्नुहुन्थ्यो ।
Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 त्यसैले, जब येशूले लाजरस बिरामी भएको सुन्‍नुभयो, उहाँ अरू दुई दिन त्यही ठाउँमा बस्‍नुभयो जहाँ उहाँ हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
So on hearing that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was for two days,
7 यसपछि उहाँले चेलाहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “फेरि यहूदियातिर जाऔँ ।”
and then He said to the disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
8 चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “रब्बी, अहिले नै यहूदीहरूले तपाईंलाई ढुङ्गा हान्‍न खोजिरहेका थिए र तपाईं फेरि त्यहीँ फर्केर जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ?”
“Rabbi,” they replied, “the Jews just tried to stone You, and You are going back there?”
9 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “के दिनमा बाह्र घण्टा उज्यालो हुँदैन र? यदि कोही दिनको समयमा हिँड्छ भने त्यसलाई ठेस लाग्दैन, किनकि त्यसले यस संसारको उज्यालोको सहायताले देख्छ ।
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the daytime, he will not stumble, because he sees by the light of this world.
10 तापनि त्यो राति हिँड्छ भने त्यसलाई ठेस लाग्छ, किनकि त्यसमा उज्यालो हुँदैन ।”
But if anyone walks at night, he will stumble, because he has no light.”
11 उहाँले यी कुराहरू उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हाम्रा साथी लाजरस मस्त निद्रामा परेका छन्, तर म जाँदै छु, ताकि म तिनलाई निद्राबाट बिउँझाउन सकूँ ।”
After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 यसकारण चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “प्रभु, यदि तिनी निद्रामा परेका छन् भने तिनी होसमा आउनेछन् ।”
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get better.”
13 अहिले येशूले तिनको मृत्युको बारेमा बोल्नुभएको थियो, तर उहाँ आरामको निद्राको बारेमा बोलिरहनुभएको छ भन्‍ने तिनीहरूले सोचे ।
They thought that Jesus was talking about actual sleep, but He was speaking about the death of Lazarus.
14 त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई स्पष्‍ट रूपमा भन्‍नुभयो, “लाजरस मरेको छ ।
So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
15 म त्यहाँ नभएकोमा तिमीहरूका खातिर म खुसी छु, ताकि तिमीहरूले विश्‍वास गर्न सक । तिनीकहाँ जाऔँ ।”
and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 दिदुमस भनिने थोमाले उनका सङ्गी चेलाहरूलाई भने, “हामी पनि जाऔँ, कि हामी पनि येशूसँगै मर्न सकौँ ।”
Then Thomas called Didymus said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
17 जब येशू आउनुभयो, लाजरसलाई चिहानमा राखेको चार दिन भइसकेको उहाँले पाउनुभयो ।
When Jesus arrived, He found that Lazarus had already spent four days in the tomb.
18 बेथानिया यरूशलेमबाट नजिकै करिब तिन किलोमिटर दुरीमा पर्थ्यो ।
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,
19 धेरै यहूदीहरू मरियम र मार्थाकहाँ तिनीहरूका भाइको बारेमा तिनीहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन आएका थिए ।
and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them in the loss of their brother.
20 जब मार्थाले येशू आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ भन्‍ने सुनिन्, तिनी उहाँलाई भेट्न गइन्, तर मरियमचाहिँ घरमा नै बसिरहेकी थिइन् ।
So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him; but Mary stayed at home.
21 त्यसपछि मार्थाले येशूलाई भनिन्, “प्रभु, यदि तपाईं यहाँ हुनुभएको भए मेरा भाइ मर्ने थिएनन् ।
Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 म जान्दछु, कि अहिले पनि तपाईंले परमेश्‍वरसँग जे माग्‍नुहुन्छ सो उहाँले तपाईंलाई दिनुहुनेछ ।”
But even now I know that God will give You whatever You ask of Him.”
23 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिम्रा भाइ फेरि जीवित हुनेछन् ।”
“Your brother will rise again,” Jesus told her.
24 मार्थाले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “म जान्दछु, कि तिनी अन्त्यको दिनको पुनरुथानमा फेरि जीवित हुनेछन्” ।
Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “पुनरुथान र जीवन म नै हुँ; जसले मलाई विश्‍वास गर्छ, त्यो मरे तापनि जीवित हुनेछ ।
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.
26 जसले मलाई विश्‍वास गर्छ र ममा जिउँछ त्यो कहिल्यै मर्नेछैन । के तिमी यो विश्‍वास गर्छ्यौ?” (aiōn g165)
And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 तिनले उहाँलाई भनिन्, “हो प्रभु, म विश्‍वास गर्छु, तपाईं नै संसारमा आइरहनुभएका परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र अर्थात् ख्रीष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ ।”
“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”
28 जब तिनले यो भनिन्, तिनी त्यहाँबाट गइन् र तिनकी बहिनी मरियमलाई सुटुक्‍क बोलाइन् । तिनले भनिन्, “गुरुज्यू यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ र तिमीलाई बोलाउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
After Martha had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside to tell her, “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.”
29 जब तिनले यो सुनिन्, तिनी झट्टै उठिन् र उहाँकहाँ गइन् ।
And when Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
30 येशू अझै पनि त्यस गाउँभित्र आउनुभएको थिएन, तर उहाँ त्यही ठाउँमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो जहाँ मार्थाले उहाँलाई भेटेकी थिइन् ।
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
31 त्यसैले, तिनीसँग घरमा भएका र तिनलाई सान्त्वना दिइरहेका यहूदीहरूले जब मरियम झट्टै उठेर बाहिर गइरहेकी देखे, तिनीहरूले तिनी चिहानमा रुन गइरहेकी छन् भन्‍ने सोची तिनीहरू पनि तिनको पछि लागे ।
When the Jews who were in the house consoling Mary saw how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32 त्यसपछि जब मरियम येशू हुनुभएको ठाउँमा आइन् र उहाँलाई देखिन्, तिनी उहाँको पाउमा घोप्‍टो परिन्, र उहाँलाई भनिन्, “प्रभु, यदि तपाईं यहाँ हुनुभएको भए मेरा भाइ मर्ने थिएनन् ।”
When Mary came to Jesus and saw Him, she fell at His feet and said, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 जब येशूले तिनी र तिनीसँग आएका यहूदीहरू पनि रोइरहेको देख्‍नुभयो, उहाँ आत्मामा अति विचलित हुनुभयो, र दुःखित हुनुभयो ।
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34 उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले तिनलाई कहाँ राखेका छौ?” उनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “प्रभु आउनुहोस्, र हेर्नुहोस् ।”
“Where have you put him?” He asked. “Come and see, Lord,” they answered.
35 येशू रुनुभयो ।
Jesus wept.
36 त्यसपछि यहूदीहरूले भने, “हेर, उहाँले लाजरसलाई कति माया गर्नुहुन्थ्यो!”
Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”
37 तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केहीले भने, “के अन्धाका आँखा खोल्ने यी मानिसले यस मानिसलाई पनि नमर्ने तुल्याउने बनाउन सक्दैनथ्यो र?”
But some of them asked, “Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind also have kept Lazarus from dying?”
38 त्यसपछि फेरि येशू आत्मामा आफैँ अति विचलित हुनुभयो, र चिहानतिर जानुभयो । यो एउटा गुफा थियो र यसलाई एउटा ढुङ्गाले ढाकेको थियो ।
Jesus, once again deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
39 येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “ढुङ्गा हटाऊ ।” लाजरस जो मरेका थिए, तिनकी दिदी मार्थाले येशूलाई भनिन्, “प्रभु, अहिलेसम्म त शरीर कुहिसकेको हुनेछ, किनकि तिनी मरेको चार दिन भइसक्यो ।”
“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. “Lord, by now he stinks,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man. “It has already been four days.”
40 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “के मैले तिमीलाई भनिनँ, कि यदि तिमीले विश्‍वास गर्‍यौ भने तिमीले परमेश्‍वरको महिमा देख्‍नेछौ?”
Jesus replied, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
41 त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले ढुङ्गा हटाए । येशूले आफ्ना आँखा माथितिर उठाउनुभयो, र भन्‍नुभयो, “हे पिता, मेरो बिन्ती सुन्‍नुभएकोमा म तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु ।
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
42 म जान्दथेँ, तपाईंले मेरो बिन्ती सधैँ सुन्‍नुहुन्छ, तर मेरो वरिपरि उभिरहेका यो भिडको कारण मैले यो भनेँ, ताकि तपाईंले मलाई पठाउनुभएको छ भन्‍ने तिनीहरूले विश्‍वास गर्न सकून् ।”
I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.”
43 उहाँले यी कुराहरू भन्‍नुभएपछि उहाँले ठुलो सोरमा भन्‍नुभयो, “लाजरस, बाहिर आऊ!”
After Jesus had said this, He called out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 मरेको मानिस बाहिर आयो, त्यसका हात र खुट्टाहरू कपडाले बाँधिएका थिए; त्यसको अनुहार कपडाले बेह्रिएको थियो । येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “त्यसलाई खोलिदेओ, र त्यसलाई जान देओ ।”
The man who had been dead came out with his hands and feet bound in strips of linen, and his face wrapped in a cloth. “Unwrap him and let him go,” Jesus told them.
45 त्यसपछि मरियमकहाँ आएका र येशूले जे गर्नुभयो सो दखेका धेरै यहूदीहरूले उहाँमा विश्‍वास गरे ।
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
46 तर तिनीहरूमध्ये केही फरिसीहरूकहाँ गए र येशूले गर्नुभएका ती कुराहरू तिनीहरूलाई बताइदिए ।
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 त्यसपछि मुख्य पुजारीहरू र फरिसीहरूले परिषद्‌का सदस्यहरूलाई भेला पारे, र भने, “हामीले के गर्ने? यस मानिसले धेरै चिह्न‍हरू गर्छन् ।
Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we to do? This man is performing many signs.
48 यदि हामीले यसलाई यसरी नै छोडिदियौँ भने सबैले यसलाई विश्‍वास गर्नेछन्; रोमीहरू आउनेछन् अनि हाम्रो ठाउँ र हाम्रो जाति दुवै लिनेछन् ।”
If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
49 तैपनि तिनीहरूमध्ये कैयाफा नामका मानिस जो त्यस वर्ष प्रधान पुजारी थिए तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू केही पनि जान्दैनौ ।
But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!
50 सम्पूर्ण राष्‍ट्र नै नष्‍ट हुनुभन्दा मानिसहरूका निम्ति एक जना मर्नु नै तिमीहरूका निम्ति उत्तम हो भन्‍ने तिमीहरू ठान्दैनौ ।”
You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish.”
51 अब यो तिनले आफ्नै तर्फबाट भनेका थिएनन् । बरु उनी त्यस वर्षका प्रधान पुजारी भएको कारणले येशू राष्‍ट्रको निम्ति मर्नुपर्छ भनी तिनले अगमवाणी गरेका थिए ।
Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 राष्‍ट्रको निम्ति मात्र होइन, तर छरपष्‍ट भएका परमेश्‍वरका सन्तानहरूसँगै एक होऊन् भनेर पनि हो ।
and not only for the nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to gather them together into one.
53 त्यसैले, त्यस दिनदेखि उनीहरूले येशूलाई कसरी मार्ने भनी योजना बनाउन थाले ।
So from that day on they plotted to kill Him.
54 येशू यहूदीहरू माझ खुलमखुला हिँड्‍डुल गर्नुभएन, तर उहाँ त्यहाँबाट उजाड-स्थान नजिकैको गाउँमा रहेको एफ्राइम भनिने सहरमा जानुभयो । त्यहाँ उहाँ चेलाहरूसँग बस्‍नुभयो ।
As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.
55 अब यहूदीहरूको निस्तार-चाड नजिकै थियो र धेरै जना आफैँलाई शुद्ध पार्न गाउँहरूबाट निस्तार-चाड अगि नै यरूशलेम गए ।
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.
56 तिनीहरूले येशूलाई खोजिरहेका थिए । तिनीहरू मन्दिरमा खडा भइरहँदा एक-अर्कामा भन्दै थिए, “तिमीहरूलाई कस्तो लाग्छ? उनी चाडमा आउने छैनन् र?”
They kept looking for Jesus and asking one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? Will He come to the feast at all?”
57 अहिले मुख्य पुजारीहरू र फरिसीहरूले यो उर्दी जारी गरेका थिए, कि यदि कसैले येशू कहाँ हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी जान्दथ्यो भने, त्यसले त्यो भन्‍नुपर्छ ताकि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रन सकून् ।
But the chief priests and Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where He was must report it, so that they could arrest Him.
