लुका 15
1 अब सबै कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरू उहाँकहाँ वचन सुन्नलाई आउँदै थिए ।
THEN drew nigh unto him all the tax-farmers and the sinners 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 scribes murmured, saying, This man entertains sinners, and eateth with them.
3 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो,
Then spake he unto 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 is there of you, possessing an hundred sheep, though he lose but one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 त्यसपछि जब उसले भेट्टाउँछ, उसलाई काँधमा राखेर रमाउँछ ।
and when he hath found it, he layeth it on 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, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Congratulate me; for I have found that sheep of mine which 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 tell you, that just so will there be joy in heaven over one repentant sinner, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who hold not their need of repentance.
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 pieces of silver coin, if she lose one of them, doth she not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and make diligent search 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 having found it, she calleth her female friends and neighbours together, saying, Congratulate me; for I have found the silver piece I had lost.
10 त्यसै गरी, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि एक जना पश्चात्ताप गर्ने पापीका खातिर परमेश्वरका दूतहरूका उपस्थितिमा स्वर्गमा ठुलो आनन्द हुनेछ ।”
Even so, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God, over one repentant sinner.
11 त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसका दुई जना छोरा थिए,
Then 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 which falls to my share. And he divided with them his fortune.
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, collecting his all, travelled into a far distant country, and there dissipated his substance in a life of debauchery.
14 जब उनले सबै खर्च गरी सिध्याए, त्यहाँ देशभरि ठुलो अनिकाल पर्न सुरुभयो र उनी निकै खाँचोमा पर्न थाले ।
But when he had spent all, there came a terrible famine in that region; and he began to know want.
15 उनी त्यस देशको एक जना नागरिककहाँ गए र काम खोजे, ती नागरिकले उनलाई सुँगुरहरू चराउन पठाए ।
And he went and connected himself with one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 उनलाई कसैले केही पनि खानेकुरा नदिएका कारण सुँगुरहरूले खाने दानाले उनले आफ्नो पेट भर्न चाहन्थे ।
And he eagerly longed to fill his belly with the charob berries which the swine did eat: and no person gave him a morsel.
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!
Then coming to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father abound with loaves of bread, and I am pining away with famine!
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 go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 म तपाईंको छोरा भनिनयोग्य छैनँ; मलाई तपाईंका सेवकहरूमध्ये एक नोकर बनाउनुहोस् ।’
and I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hirelings.
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 he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet at a considerable distance, his father discovered him, and was moved with compassion, and running, fell on his neck, and kissed him again and again.
21 छोराले बुबालाई भन्यो, ‘बुबा मैले स्वर्ग र तपाईंको दृष्टिमा पाप गरेको छु र म तपाईंको छोरा भनी बोलाइन योग्यको छैनँ ।’
Then said the son unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy 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, Bring out the best robe, and clothe him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet:
23 त्यसपछि मोटो पशु मार । हामी खाऔँ र उत्सव मनाऔँ ।
and bring hither the stall-fed steer, and kill it; and let us eat, and be joyous.
24 किनकि मेरा छोरा मरेका थिए, अब जीवित भएका छन्; हराएका थिए, तर अब भेटिएका छन् । तिनीहरूले उत्सव मनाउन सुरु गरे ।’
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. And they began to be joyous.
25 अब उनको जेठो छोरा खेतमा थियो, ऊ जब घरको नजिकै आइपुग्यो, उनले नाचगानहरू भैरहेको सुने ।
Now his elder brother had been in the field: and when coming home he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and the chorus.
26 उनले सेवकहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर के कुराहरू भइराखेको होला भनेर सोधे ।
And calling one of the servants, he inquired 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, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed for him the stall-fed steer, because he hath received him in health.
28 जेठो छोरो रिसाएको थियो र भित्र पसेन र उनका बुबा बाहिर आएर उसलाई मनाउन थाले ।
Then he was in great wrath, and would not enter the doors: therefore his father came out, and entreated 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 answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I am serving thee, and never have transgressed thy command: yet to me thou hast never once given a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 तर जब तपाईंको छोरा आयो, जसले सम्पत्ति वेश्याहरूसँग सखाप पारेको थियो, त्यसको लागि तपाईंले मोटो पशु मार्नुभयो ।’
but no sooner is this son of thine come, who hath devoured thy substance with whores, than thou hast killed for him the stall-fed steer.
31 बुबाले उनलाई भने, ‘छोरा, तिमी त मसँग सधैँ छौ र मसँग भएका सबै थोक तिम्रै हुन् ।
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all my possessions are 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 right that we should rejoice, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
