लुका 15
1 अब सबै कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरू उहाँकहाँ वचन सुन्नलाई आउँदै थिए ।
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2 फरिसीहरू र शास्त्रीहरू एक-अर्कासँग गनगन गर्न थाले र भने, “यस मानिसले पापीहरूलाई स्वागत गरी तिनीहरूसँग खाने गर्दछ ।”
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो,
Then Jesus told them this parable:
4 “तिमीहरूमध्ये कुनचाहिँ होला, यदि उसका सयवटा भेडा छन् र त्यसमध्ये एउटा हराएमा, उनान्सयवटा भेडालाई उजाड-स्थानमा छोडेर हराएको एउटा भेडालाई नभेट्टाउन्जेल खोज्दैन?
“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
5 त्यसपछि जब उसले भेट्टाउँछ, उसलाई काँधमा राखेर रमाउँछ ।
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6 जब ऊ घर आउँछ, उसले आफ्ना साथीहरू र छिमेकीहरूलाई बोलाउँछ र यसो भन्छ, ‘मसँग आनन्दित हुनुहोस्, किनभने मैले मेरो हराएको भेडालाई भेट्टाएको छु ।’
comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
7 म पनि तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि उनान्सय जना पश्चात्ताप गर्न नपर्ने धर्मी मानिसहरूभन्दा पश्चात्ताप गर्नुपर्ने एक जना पापी मानिसको खातिर स्वर्गमा ठुलो रमाहट हुनेछ ।
In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
8 अथवा कुन स्त्री होला जससँग दसवटा चाँदीका सिक्काहरूमध्ये एउटा हराएमा, बत्ती बालेर, घर बढारेर र सिक्का नभेट्टाइन्जेल दिलोज्यानसाथ खोज्दिनन् र?
Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 जब तिनले भेट्टाउँछिन्, तब तिनले अफ्ना सबै साथीहरू र छिमेकीहरूलाई यसो भनी बोलाउँछिन्, ‘मसँग रमाओ, किनभने मैले हराएको सिक्का भेट्टाएकी छु ।’
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
10 त्यसै गरी, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि एक जना पश्चात्ताप गर्ने पापीका खातिर परमेश्वरका दूतहरूका उपस्थितिमा स्वर्गमा ठुलो आनन्द हुनेछ ।”
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
11 त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसका दुई जना छोरा थिए,
Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
12 र कान्छाले उसका बुबालाई भन्यो, ‘बुबा मैले पाउनुपर्ने सम्पत्तिको अंश अब मलाई दिनुहोस् ।’ त्यसैले, तिनीहरूका बिचमा उनले सम्पत्ति बाँडिदिए ।
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 धेरै दिन नबित्दै, कान्छा छोराले आफ्ना सर सामान तयार गरी टाढा देश जान यात्रा सुरु गरे र उनले अनाअवश्यक थोकहरू किनेर त्यहाँ उनले जथाभावी रुपियाँ-पैसा खर्च गरे ।
After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
14 जब उनले सबै खर्च गरी सिध्याए, त्यहाँ देशभरि ठुलो अनिकाल पर्न सुरुभयो र उनी निकै खाँचोमा पर्न थाले ।
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15 उनी त्यस देशको एक जना नागरिककहाँ गए र काम खोजे, ती नागरिकले उनलाई सुँगुरहरू चराउन पठाए ।
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
16 उनलाई कसैले केही पनि खानेकुरा नदिएका कारण सुँगुरहरूले खाने दानाले उनले आफ्नो पेट भर्न चाहन्थे ।
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17 तर जब कान्छा छोरा आफैँले विचार गरे र भने, ‘मेरा बुबाका कति धेरै सेवकहरूसँग प्रशस्त खानेकुरा छ, तर म भने यहाँ भोकभोकै मरिरहेको छु!
Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
18 म यस ठाउँलाई छोडेर मेरा बुबाकहाँ जानेछु, र उहाँलाई भन्नेछु, ‘बुबा, मैले स्वर्गको विरुद्धमा र तपाईंको दृष्टिमा पाप गरेको छु ।
I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 म तपाईंको छोरा भनिनयोग्य छैनँ; मलाई तपाईंका सेवकहरूमध्ये एक नोकर बनाउनुहोस् ।’
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20 यसरी कान्छो छोराले त्यस ठाउँ छाडे र आफ्ना बुबाको घरतर्फ लागे । उनी टाढै छँदा बुबाले उनलाई देखे र दयाले भरिएर दौडे र अँगालो हालेर म्वाँइ खाए ।
So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
21 छोराले बुबालाई भन्यो, ‘बुबा मैले स्वर्ग र तपाईंको दृष्टिमा पाप गरेको छु र म तपाईंको छोरा भनी बोलाइन योग्यको छैनँ ।’
The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 बुबाले सेवकहरूलाई भने, ‘तुरुन्तै उत्तम वस्त्रहरू ल्याओ र उनलाई लगाइदेओ, उनको हातमा औँठी र खुट्टामा जुत्ता लगाइदेओ ।’
But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
23 त्यसपछि मोटो पशु मार । हामी खाऔँ र उत्सव मनाऔँ ।
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24 किनकि मेरा छोरा मरेका थिए, अब जीवित भएका छन्; हराएका थिए, तर अब भेटिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन सुरु गरे ।’
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25 अब उनको जेठो छोरा खेतमा थियो, ऊ जब घरको नजिकै आइपुग्यो, उनले नाचगानहरू भैरहेको सुने ।
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 उनले सेवकहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर के कुराहरू भइराखेको होला भनेर सोधे ।
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27 सेवकले उनलाई भने, तपाईंका भाइ आउनुभएको छ, र तपाईंको बुबाले मोटो पशु मार्नुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँ सुरक्षित फर्कनुभयो ।
‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 जेठो छोरो रिसाएको थियो र भित्र पसेन र उनका बुबा बाहिर आएर उसलाई मनाउन थाले ।
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29 तर जेठा छोराले जवाफ दिएर उनका बुबालाई भने, ‘हेर्नुहोस्, यति धेरै वर्ष मैले तपाईंको सेवकझैँ काम गरेँ, मैले कहिल्यै तपाईंको एउटा नियम पनि तोडिनँ, तर तपाईंले मलाई कहिल्यै मेरा साथीहरूसँग आनन्द मनाउन एउटा पाठो पनि दिनुभएन,
But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
30 तर जब तपाईंको छोरा आयो, जसले सम्पत्ति वेश्याहरूसँग सखाप पारेको थियो, त्यसको लागि तपाईंले मोटो पशु मार्नुभयो ।’
But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 बुबाले उनलाई भने, ‘छोरा, तिमी त मसँग सधैँ छौ र मसँग भएका सबै थोक तिम्रै हुन् ।
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
32 तर अहिले हामीलाई उत्सव मनाउन र खुसी हुनु उचित छ, किनभने तिम्रो भाइ मरेका थिए र अहिले जीवित भएका छन्; र उनी हराएका थिए र अहिले भेटिएका छन्‘।”
But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
