लुका 15
1 अब सबै कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरू उहाँकहाँ वचन सुन्नलाई आउँदै थिए ।
Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
2 फरिसीहरू र शास्त्रीहरू एक-अर्कासँग गनगन गर्न थाले र भने, “यस मानिसले पापीहरूलाई स्वागत गरी तिनीहरूसँग खाने गर्दछ ।”
And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो,
And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
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 of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
5 त्यसपछि जब उसले भेट्टाउँछ, उसलाई काँधमा राखेर रमाउँछ ।
And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
6 जब ऊ घर आउँछ, उसले आफ्ना साथीहरू र छिमेकीहरूलाई बोलाउँछ र यसो भन्छ, ‘मसँग आनन्दित हुनुहोस्, किनभने मैले मेरो हराएको भेडालाई भेट्टाएको छु ।’
And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
7 म पनि तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि उनान्सय जना पश्चात्ताप गर्न नपर्ने धर्मी मानिसहरूभन्दा पश्चात्ताप गर्नुपर्ने एक जना पापी मानिसको खातिर स्वर्गमा ठुलो रमाहट हुनेछ ।
I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
8 अथवा कुन स्त्री होला जससँग दसवटा चाँदीका सिक्काहरूमध्ये एउटा हराएमा, बत्ती बालेर, घर बढारेर र सिक्का नभेट्टाइन्जेल दिलोज्यानसाथ खोज्दिनन् र?
Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find 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 hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
10 त्यसै गरी, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि एक जना पश्चात्ताप गर्ने पापीका खातिर परमेश्वरका दूतहरूका उपस्थितिमा स्वर्गमा ठुलो आनन्द हुनेछ ।”
So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
11 त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसका दुई जना छोरा थिए,
And he said: A certain man had two sons:
12 र कान्छाले उसका बुबालाई भन्यो, ‘बुबा मैले पाउनुपर्ने सम्पत्तिको अंश अब मलाई दिनुहोस् ।’ त्यसैले, तिनीहरूका बिचमा उनले सम्पत्ति बाँडिदिए ।
And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
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 ।
And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
14 जब उनले सबै खर्च गरी सिध्याए, त्यहाँ देशभरि ठुलो अनिकाल पर्न सुरुभयो र उनी निकै खाँचोमा पर्न थाले ।
And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
15 उनी त्यस देशको एक जना नागरिककहाँ गए र काम खोजे, ती नागरिकले उनलाई सुँगुरहरू चराउन पठाए ।
And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
16 उनलाई कसैले केही पनि खानेकुरा नदिएका कारण सुँगुरहरूले खाने दानाले उनले आफ्नो पेट भर्न चाहन्थे ।
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
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!
And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
18 म यस ठाउँलाई छोडेर मेरा बुबाकहाँ जानेछु, र उहाँलाई भन्नेछु, ‘बुबा, मैले स्वर्गको विरुद्धमा र तपाईंको दृष्टिमा पाप गरेको छु ।
I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
19 म तपाईंको छोरा भनिनयोग्य छैनँ; मलाई तपाईंका सेवकहरूमध्ये एक नोकर बनाउनुहोस् ।’
I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy 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 ।
And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
21 छोराले बुबालाई भन्यो, ‘बुबा मैले स्वर्ग र तपाईंको दृष्टिमा पाप गरेको छु र म तपाईंको छोरा भनी बोलाइन योग्यको छैनँ ।’
And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
22 बुबाले सेवकहरूलाई भने, ‘तुरुन्तै उत्तम वस्त्रहरू ल्याओ र उनलाई लगाइदेओ, उनको हातमा औँठी र खुट्टामा जुत्ता लगाइदेओ ।’
And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 त्यसपछि मोटो पशु मार । हामी खाऔँ र उत्सव मनाऔँ ।
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
24 किनकि मेरा छोरा मरेका थिए, अब जीवित भएका छन्; हराएका थिए, तर अब भेटिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन सुरु गरे ।’
Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 अब उनको जेठो छोरा खेतमा थियो, ऊ जब घरको नजिकै आइपुग्यो, उनले नाचगानहरू भैरहेको सुने ।
Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
26 उनले सेवकहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर के कुराहरू भइराखेको होला भनेर सोधे ।
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 सेवकले उनलाई भने, तपाईंका भाइ आउनुभएको छ, र तपाईंको बुबाले मोटो पशु मार्नुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँ सुरक्षित फर्कनुभयो ।
And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
28 जेठो छोरो रिसाएको थियो र भित्र पसेन र उनका बुबा बाहिर आएर उसलाई मनाउन थाले ।
And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat 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,
And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
30 तर जब तपाईंको छोरा आयो, जसले सम्पत्ति वेश्याहरूसँग सखाप पारेको थियो, त्यसको लागि तपाईंले मोटो पशु मार्नुभयो ।’
But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 बुबाले उनलाई भने, ‘छोरा, तिमी त मसँग सधैँ छौ र मसँग भएका सबै थोक तिम्रै हुन् ।
But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
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 fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
