< यूहन्ना 12 >
1 निस्तार-चाडको छ दिन अगाडि येशू बेथानिया आउनुभयो, जहाँ उहाँले मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभएका लाजरस थिए ।
Jesus, however, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was whom He had raised from the dead.
2 त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूले उहाँको लागि बेलुकीको खाना तयार पारे । मार्थाले सेवा-सत्कार गरिरहेकी थिइन् र लाजरस येशूसँगै टेबलमा ढल्किरहेकाहरूमध्ये एक जना थिए ।
So they gave a dinner there in honour of Jesus, at which Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with Him.
3 तब मरियमले आधा लिटर जति शुद्ध जटामसीले बनेको बहुमूल्य अत्तर लिइन्, र येशूको पाउ अभिषेक गरिन्, अनि तिनको आफ्नो कपालले उहाँको पाउ पुछिन् । त्यो घर अत्तरको सुगन्धले भरियो ।
Availing herself of the opportunity, Mary took a pound weight of pure spikenard, very costly, and poured it over His feet, and wiped His feet with her hair, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 उहाँका चेलाहरूमध्ये एक जना यहूदा स्करियोत जसले उहाँलाई विश्वासघात गर्ने थियो, त्यसले भन्यो,
Then said Judas (the Iscariot, one of the Twelve--the one who afterwards betrayed Jesus),
5 “यो अत्तर तिन सय चाँदीका सिक्कामा बेचेरे गरिबहरूलाई किन दिइएन?”
"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"
6 त्यसले यो कुरा गरिबहरूको वास्ता गरेर भनेको थिएन, तर त्यो चोर भएकोले भनेको हो । त्यससँग पैसाको थैलो हुन्थ्यो र यसमा राखिएकोबाट चोर्ने गर्थ्यो ।
The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.
7 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिनीसँग मेरो दफनको दिनको लागि जे छ, त्यो राख्न देऊ ।
But Jesus interposed. "Do not blame her," He said, "allow her to have kept it for the time of my preparation for burial.
8 गरिबहरू त तिमीहरूसँग सधैँ हुनेछन्, तर म तिमीहरूसँग सधैँ हुनेछैनँ ।”
For the poor you always have with you, but you have not me always."
9 अब यहूदीहरूको ठुलो भिडले येशू त्यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने थाहा पायो र तिनीहरू येशूको निम्ति मात्र होइन, तर लाजरसलाई हेर्न पनि आए, जसलाई येशूले मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभएको थियो ।
Now it became widely known among the Jews that Jesus was there; but they came not only on His account, but also in order to see Lazarus whom He had brought back to life.
10 मुख्य पुजारीहरूले सँगसँगै षड्यन्त्र रचे, ताकि तिनीहरूले लाजरसलाई पनि मार्न सकेको होस् ।
The High Priests, however, consulted together to put Lazarus also to death,
11 किनकि तिनको कारण धेरै यहूदीहरू भड्किएका थिए र येशूमा विश्वास गरेका थिए ।
for because of him many of the Jews left them and became believers in Jesus.
12 अर्को दिन चाडमा ठुलो भिड आयो । जब येशू यरूशलेममा आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने तिनीहरूले सुने,
The next day a great crowd of those who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 तिनीहरूले खजुरको बोटका हाँगाहरू लिए र उहाँलाई भेट्न गए, अनि उच्च सोरमा यसो भने, “होसन्ना! इस्राएलका राजा अर्थात् परमप्रभुको नाउँमा आउनुहुने धन्यको हुनुहुन्छ ।”
took branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting as they went, "God save him! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord--even on the King of Israel!"
14 येशूले एउटा गधाको बछेडा भेट्टाउनुभयो र त्यसमाथि चढ्नुभयो, जस्तो यो लेखिएको थियो,
And Jesus, having procured a young ass, sat upon it, just as the Scripture says,
15 “सियोनकी छोरी नडराऊ, हेर, तिम्रा राजा गधामा चढेर आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
"Fear not, Daughter of Zion! See, thy King is coming riding on an ass's colt."
16 उहाँका चेलाहरूले सुरुमा यी कुराहरू बुझेनन्, तर जब येशू महिमित हुनुभयो तब उहाँको विषयमा लेखिएका थिए र यी सबै कुराहरू तिनीहरूले उहाँकै निम्ति गरेका थिए भनी उनीहरूले सम्झे ।
The meaning of this His disciples did not understand at the time; but after Jesus was glorified they recollected that this was written about Him, and that they had done this to Him.
17 उहाँले अहिले लाजरसलाई चिहानबाट बाहिर बोलाउनुहुँदा र तिनलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुहुँदा उहाँसँग भएको भिडले गवाही दियो ।
The large number of people, however, who had been present when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and brought him back to life, related what they had witnessed.
18 यही कारणले गर्दा पनि भिडहरू उहाँलाई भेट्न गए, किनकि उहाँले यो चिह्न गर्नुभयो भन्ने तिनीहरूले सुने ।
This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.
19 यसकारण फरिसीहरूले एक-आपसमा भने, “हेर, तिमीहरू केही पनि गर्न सक्दैनौ; हेर, सारा संसारै त्यसको पछि लागेको छ ।”
The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, "Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!"
20 अहिले चाडमा आराधना गर्न माथि गइरहेका तिनीहरूमध्ये केही ग्रिकहरू पनि थिए ।
Now some of those who used to come up to worship at the Festival were Greeks.
21 यिनीहरू फिलिपकहाँ गए जो गालीलको बेथसेदाका थिए र तिनलाई भने, “महाशय, हामी येशूलाई भेट्न चाहन्छौँ ।”
They came to Philip, of Bethsaida in Galilee, with the request, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
22 फिलिपले गएर अन्द्रियासलाई भने । अनि अन्द्रियास फिलिपसँग गए, र तिनीहरूले येशूलाई भने ।
Philip came and told Andrew: Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “मानिसका पुत्रको निम्ति महिमित हुने समय आएको छ ।
His answer was, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 साँचो, साँचो म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, गहुँको दाना जबसम्म माटोमा झरेर मर्दैन, यो आफैँ एकलो रहन्छ, तर यदि त्यो मर्छ भने यसले धेरै फल फलाउनेछ ।
In most solemn truth I tell you that unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains what it was--a single grain; but that if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.
25 जसले आफ्नो जीवनलाई प्रेम गर्छ त्यसले त्यो गुमाउनेछ, तर जसले यस संसारमा आफ्नो जीवनलाई घृणा गर्छ त्यसले यो अनन्त जीवनको लागि जोगाइराख्नेछ । (aiōnios )
He who holds his life dear, is destroying it; and he who makes his life of no account in this world shall keep it to the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios )
26 यदि कसैले मेरो सेवा गर्छ भने, त्यसले मलाई पछ्याओस्, र म जहाँ हुन्छु त्यहाँ मेरो सेवक पनि हुनेछ । यदि कसैले मेरो सेवा गर्छ भने पिताले त्यसको आदर गर्नुहुनेछ ।
If a man wishes to be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there too shall my servant be. If a man wishes to be my servant, the Father will honour him.
27 अहिले मेरो प्राण दुःखित भएको छः म के भनूँ? हे पिता, मलाई यो घडीबाट बचाउनुहोस्? तर यही कारणको निम्ति म यो घडीमा आएँ ।
Now is my soul full of trouble; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
28 हे पिता, तपाईंको नाउँ महिमित पार्नुहोस् ।” तब स्वर्गबाट एउटा आवाज आयो, र भन्यो, “मैले यिनलाई महिमित पारेको छु र म फेरि महिमित पार्नेछु ।”
Father, glorify Thy name." Thereupon there came a voice from the sky, "I have glorified it and will also glorify it again."
29 तब उहाँको छेउमा उभिने भिडले यो आवाज सुने, र तिनीहरूले मेघ गर्ज्यौ भने । अरूहरूले भने, “स्वर्गदूत उहाँसँग बोलेको हो ।”
The crowd that stood by and heard it, said that there had been thunder. Others said, "An angel spoke to him."
30 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “यो आवाज मेरो निम्ति होइन, तर तिमीहरूका निम्ति आएको हो ।”
"It is not for my sake," said Jesus, "that that voice came, but for your sakes.
31 अब यो संसारको न्याय हुन्छ, अब यस संसारको शासक फ्याँकिनेछ ।
Now is a judgement of this world: now will the Prince of this world be driven out.
32 अनि जब म पृथ्वीबाट उचालिन्छु, म सबैलाई आफूतिर खिँच्नेछु ।”
And I-- if I am lifted up from the earth--will draw all men to me."
33 कस्तो किसिमको मृत्यु मर्दै हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने सङ्केत गर्न उहाँले यो कुरा भन्नुभएको थियो ।
He said this to indicate the kind of death He would die.
34 भिडले उहाँलाई जवाफ दियो, “हामीले व्यवस्थाबाट सुनेका छौँ, कि ख्रीष्ट सधैँ रहनुहुनेछ । तपाईं कसरी भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘मानिसका पुत्र उचालिनुपर्छ?’ यो मानिसका पुत्र को हो?” (aiōn )
The crowd answered Him, "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ remains for ever. In what sense do you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is that Son of Man?" (aiōn )
35 तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “केही समयको निम्ति ज्योति तिमीहरूसँग अझै हुनेछ । तिमीहरूसँग ज्योति हुँदा हिँड, ताकि अन्धकारले तिमीहरूलाई नढाकोस् । जो अन्धकारमा हिँड्छ त्यो कहाँ जाँदै छ भनी त्यसलाई थाहा हुँदैन ।
"Yet a little while," He replied, "the light is among you. Be faithful to the light that you have, for fear darkness should overtake you; for a man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.
36 तिमीसँग ज्योति हुँदा नै त्यो ज्योतिमा विश्वास गर, ताकि तिमीहरू ज्योतिको सन्तान हुन सक ।” येशूले यी कुराहरू भन्नुभयो र त्यसपछि उहाँ त्यहाँबाट प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो र उहाँ तिनीहरूबाट लुकेर बस्नुभयो ।
In the degree that you have light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." Jesus said this, and went away and hid Himself from them.
37 तिनीहरूको सामु येशूले यति धेरै चिह्नहरू गर्नुभए तापनि तिनीहरूले उहाँमाथि अझै पनि विश्वास गरेनन् ।
But though He had performed such great miracles in their presence, they did not believe in Him--
38 यशैया अगमवक्ताको वचन पुरा होस् भनेर यसो भएको थियो । तिनी भन्दछन्, “प्रभु, हाम्रो समाचार कसले विश्वास गरेको छ? र परमेश्वरको बाहुली कसलाई प्रकट गरिएको छ?”
in order that the words of Isaiah the Prophet might be fulfilled, "Lord, who has believed our preaching? And the arm of the Lord--to whom has it been unveiled?"
39 यसैकारण, तिनीहरूले विश्वास गर्न सकेनन्, किनकि यशैयाले यसो पनि भने,
For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,
40 “उहाँले तिनीहरूका आँखा अन्धो तुल्याइदिनुभएको छ र उहाँले तिनीहरूका हृदय कठोर पारिदिनुभएको छ; नत्रता तिनीहरूका आँखाले देख्ने थिए र उनीहरूका हृदयले बुझ्ने थिए र फर्किने थिए, अनि म तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्ने थिएँ ।”
"He has blinded their eyes and made their minds callous, lest they should see with their eyes and perceive with their minds, and should turn, and I should heal them."
41 यशैयाले यी कुराहरू भने, किनकि तिनले येशूको महिमा देखे र उहाँको विषयमा बोले ।
Isaiah uttered these words because he saw His glory; and he spoke of Him.
42 तरै पनि शासकहरूमध्ये धेरैले येशूमा विश्वास गरे, तर फरिसीहरूको कारणले गर्दा तिनीहरूले यसलाई स्वीकार गरेनन्, ताकि तिनीहरूलाई सभाघरमा रोक नलगाइयोस् ।
Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
43 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरबाट आउने प्रशंसाभन्दा मानिसहरूबाट आउने प्रशंसा बढी रुचाए ।
For they loved the glory that comes from men rather than the glory that comes from God.
44 येशूले ठुलो सोरमा भन्नुभयो, “जसले ममाथि विश्वास गर्छ त्यसले मलाई मात्र होइन, तर मलाई पठाउनुहुनेमाथि पनि विश्वास गर्छ,
But Jesus cried aloud, "He who believes in me, believes not so much in me, as in Him who sent me;
45 र जसले मलाई देख्छ त्यसले मलाई पठाउनुहुनेलाई देख्छ ।”
and he who sees me sees Him who sent me.
46 म संसारमा ज्योतिको रूपमा आएको छु ताकि जसले मलाई विश्वास गर्छ त्यो अन्धकारमा नरहोस् ।
I have come like light into the world, in order that no one who believes in me may remain in the dark.
47 यदि कसैले मेरो वचन सुन्छ, तर त्यसको पालना गर्दैन भने म त्यसको न्याय गर्दिनँ, किनकि म संसारको न्याय गर्न आएको होइनँ, तर संसारलाई बचाउन आएको हुँ ।
And if any one hears my teachings and regards them not, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 जसले मलाई इन्कार गर्छ, र मेरा वचनहरू ग्रहण गर्दैन, त्यसको न्याय गर्ने एक जना हुनुहुन्छः मैले बोलेको मेरो वचनले नै अन्त्यको दिनमा त्यसको न्याय गर्नेछ ।
He who sets me at naught and does not receive my teachings is not left without a judge: the Message which I have spoken will judge him on the last day.
49 किनकि म मेरो आफ्नै तर्फबाट बोलिनँ, तर मलाई पठाउनुहुने पिता नै हुनुहुन्छ, जसले मैले के बोल्ने र के भन्ने विषयमा आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ ।
Because I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me, Himself gave me a command what to say and in what words to speak.
50 म जान्दछु, कि उहाँको आज्ञा अनन्त जीवन हो । त्यसैले, म त्यही भन्छुः पिता मसँग जस्तो बोल्नुभएको छ, म त्यस्तै बोल्छु । (aiōnios )
And I know that His command is the Life of the Ages. What therefore I speak, I speak just as the Father has bidden me." (aiōnios )
