< लुका 13 >
1 त्यस बेला, केही मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई पिलातसले तिमीहरूको रगत तिनीहरूको आफ्नै बलिदानसँग मिसाइदिएका गालीलीहरूबारे बताए ।
Just at that time people came to tell Him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 येशूले जवाफ दिएर तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “के ती गालीलीहरूले यस्तो भोगेकाले तिनीहरू अरू गालीलीहरूभन्दा पापी थिए भन्ने तिमीहरू सोच्छौँ?
"Do you suppose," He asked in reply, "that those Galilaeans were worse sinners than the mass of the Galilaeans, because this happened to them?
3 होइन, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्छु । तर यदि तिमीहरूले पनि पश्चात्ताप गरेनौ भने, तिमीहरू पनि यसरी नै नष्ट हुनेछौ ।
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.
4 वा सिलोआमको धरहरा भत्केर मरेका अठार जना मानिस, यरूशलेमका अरू मानिसहरूभन्दा बढी पापी थिए भन्ने लाग्छ?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?
5 म भन्छु, होइन । तर यदि तिमीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गरेनौ भने, तिमीहरू पनि यसरी नै नष्ट हुनेछौ ।
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did."
6 येशूले यो दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो, “कसैले उसको दाखबारीमा दाख रोप्न लगायो र त्यसमा केही फलहरू खोज्न आयो, तर उसले केही पनि पाएन ।
And He gave them the following parable. "A man," He said, "who had a fig-tree growing in his garden came to look for fruit on it and could find none.
7 त्यो मानिसले त्यसको हेरचाह गर्नेलाई भन्यो, ‘हेर, मैले यो दाखको रुखमा तिन वर्षदेखि फल खोजेको छु, तर कुनै पनि फल पाइनँ । यसलाई ढाल । जमिनलाई किन खेर फाल्ने?’
So he said to the gardener, "'See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'
8 त्यसको हेरचाह गर्नेले जवाफ दिएर भन्यो, ‘यस वर्ष यसै होस् । म यसको वरिपरि खनेर मल हाल्नेछु ।
"But the gardener pleaded, "'Leave it, Sir, this year also, till I have dug round it and manured it.
9 यसले अर्को वर्ष फल फलायो भने, ठिक छ; तर यदि फल फलाएन भने, ढाल्नुहोस्’ ।”
If after that it bears fruit, well and good; if it does not, then you shall cut it down.'"
10 यस बेला येशू विश्रामको समयमा एउटा सभाघरमा सिकाउँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
Once He was teaching on the Sabbath in one of the synagogues
11 हेर, त्यहाँ अठार वर्षदेखि दुर्बलताको अशुद्ध आत्माले सताएइकी एउटी स्त्री थिइन् र तिनी कुप्रो भएर पूर्ण रूपमा उभिन सक्दिन थिइन् ।
where a woman was present who for eighteen years had been a confirmed invalid: she was bent double, and was unable to lift herself to her full height.
12 जब येशूले तिनलाई देख्नुभयो, उहाँले तिनलाई बोलाउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रो दुर्बलताबाट छुटकारा पाऊ ।”
But Jesus saw her, and calling to her, He said to her, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 उहाँले तिनीमाथि हात राख्नुभयो र तिनी तत्कालै सोझो भएर उभिन् र परमेश्वरको महिमा गरिन् ।
And He put His hands on her, and she immediately stood upright and began to give glory to God.
14 तर सभाघरका शासकहरू क्रूद्ध भए, किनभने येशूले विश्रामको दिनमा निको पार्नुभएको थियो । त्यसैले, शासकले जवाफ दिएर भिडलाई भने, “काम गर्नको निम्ति छ दिन छन् । यसैले, विश्रामको दिन होइन, अरू दिनमा आओ र निको होओ ।”
Then the Warden of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured her on a Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in the week on which people ought to work. On those days therefore come and get yourselves cured, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 प्रभुले जवाफ दिएर भन्नुभयो, “पाखण्डीहरू हो! के तिमीहरू हरेकले विश्रामको दिनमा तिमीहरूका गधा वा गाईलाई फुकाएर पानी खुवाउन लाँदैनौ र?
But the Lord's reply to him was, "Hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his bullock or his ass from the stall and lead him to water?
16 त्यसैले, यी अब्राहामकी छोरी जसलाई अठार वर्षदेखि शैतानले बन्धनमा पारेको छ, के तिनको बन्धन विश्रामको दिनमा नै फुकाल्नु पर्दैन र?”
And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan had bound for no less than eighteen years, was she not to be loosed from this chain because it is the Sabbath day?"
17 जब उहाँले यी कुराहरू भन्नुभयो, उहाँका विरोध गर्नेहरू सबै लज्जित भए, तर सम्पूर्ण भिड उहाँले गर्नुभएका यी सबै महिमामय कार्यहरूमा आनन्दित भए ।
When He had said this, all His opponents were ashamed, while the whole multitude was delighted at the many glorious things continually done by Him.
18 तब येशूले भन्नुभयो, “परमेश्वरको राज्य केजस्तो छ र म यसलाई केसँग तुलना गर्न सक्छु?
This prompted Him to say, "What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
19 यो एउटा रायोको बिउजस्तो हो, जसलाई एउटा मानिसले उसको करेसाबारीमा लगेर छरे र यो एउटा ठुलो बिरुवा भयो र आकाशका चराहरूले यसका हाँगाहरूमा गुँड बनाए ।”
It is like a mustard seed which a man drops into the soil in his garden, and it grows and becomes a tree in whose branches the birds roost."
20 उहाँले फेरि भन्नुभयो, “परमेश्वरको राज्यलाई म केसँग तुलना गर्न सक्छु?
And again He said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 यो एउटा स्त्रीले खमिरलाई लिएर तिन मुठी पिठोमा यसलाई नफुलेसम्म मिसाएजस्तो हो ।”
It is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, to work there till the whole is leavened."
22 येशू यरूशलेम जाने बाटोमा पर्ने हरेक सहर र गाउँमा घुम्नुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई सिकाउनुभयो ।
He was passing through town after town and village after village, steadily proceeding towards Jerusalem,
23 कसैले उहाँलाई भन्यो, “प्रभु, के थोरै मानिसहरू मात्र बचाइन्छन् त?” त्यसैले उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो,
when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"
24 “साँगुरो ढोका भएर पस्ने कोसिस गर, किनभने धेरैले प्रयास गर्नेछन्, तर पस्न सक्षम हुनेछैनन् ।
"Strain every nerve to force your way in through the narrow gate," He answered; "for multitudes, I tell you, will endeavour to find a way in and will not succeed.
25 एक पटक घरको मालिक उठेर ढोका थुनेपछि, तिमीहरू बाहिर उभिएर ढोका ढक्ढक्याउँदै यसो भन्नेछौ, ‘प्रभु, हामीलाई भित्र आउन दिनुहोस् ।’ अनि उहाँले जवाफ दिएर तिमीहरूलाई भन्नुहुनेछ, ‘म तिमीहरूलाई चिन्दिनँ अर्थात् तिमी कहाँबाट आएको?’
As soon as the Master of the house shall have risen and shut the door, and you have begun to stand outside and knock at the door and say, "'Sir, open the door for us' --"'I do not know you,' He answers; 'you are no friends of mine.'
26 तब तिमीहरूले भन्नेछौ, ‘हामीले तपाईंसँगै खायौँ, पियौँ र तपाईंले हाम्रा गल्लीहरूमा सिकाउनुभयो ।’
"Then you will plead, "'We have eaten and drunk in your company and you have taught in our streets.'
27 तर उहाँले जवाफ दिनुहुनेछ, ‘म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि तिमीहरू कहाँबाट आएका हौ, म चिन्दिनँ । दुष्टहरू हो, मबाट गइहाल् ।’
"But He will reply, "'I tell you that you are no friends of mine. Begone from me, all of you, wrongdoers that you are.'
28 जब तिमीहरूले परमेश्वरको राज्यमा अब्राहाम, इसहाक, याकूब र सबै अगमवक्ताहरूलाई देख्नेछौ, तिमीहरूलाई बाहिर फ्याँकिनेछ जहाँ रुवाइ र दाँत किटाइ हुनेछ ।
"There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being driven far away.
29 तिनीहरू पूर्व, पश्चिम, उत्तर र दक्षिणबाट आइपुग्नेछन् र परमेश्वरको राज्यको भोजमा रमाउनेछन् ।
They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
30 र अब, यो जान कि अन्तिमको पहिलो हुनेछ र पहिलोचाहिँ अन्तिम हुनेछ ।
And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last."
31 लगतै केही फरिसीहरू आए र उहाँलाई भने, “यहाँबाट जानुहोस्, यसलाई छोड्नुहोस्, किनभने हेरोदले तपाईंलाई मार्न चाहन्छन् ।”
Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."
32 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ र त्यो फ्याउरोलाई भन, हेर, मैले आज र भोलि भूतहरू निकाल्छु र निको पार्नेछु र तेस्रो दिन मेरो लक्ष्य पुरा गर्नेछु ।
"Go," He replied, "and take this message to that fox: "'See, to-day and to-morrow I am driving out demons and effecting cures, and on the third day I finish my course.'
33 आज, भोलि र पर्सि मैले निरन्तरता दिनु आवश्यक छ, किनभने यरूशलेमबाट टाढामा एउटा अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मार्नु ग्रहणयोग्य हुँदैन ।
"Yet I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not conceivable that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 त्यहाँ पठाइएका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मार्ने, ढुङ्गाले हान्ने हे यरूशलेम! मैले एउटा पोथीले आफ्ना चल्लाहरूलाई बटुलेझैँ तेरा सन्तानहरूलाई बटुल्न कति पटक इच्छा गरेँ, तर तैँले मानिनस् ।
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 हेर, तेरो घर त्यागिएको छ । म तिमीहरूलाई भन्छु, तिमीहरूले यसो नभनेसम्म तिमीहरूले मलाई देख्नेछैनौ, “परमप्रभुको नाउँमा आउने धन्यको हो ।”
See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
