लुका 15
1 अब सबै कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरू उहाँकहाँ वचन सुन्नलाई आउँदै थिए ।
But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
2 फरिसीहरू र शास्त्रीहरू एक-अर्कासँग गनगन गर्न थाले र भने, “यस मानिसले पापीहरूलाई स्वागत गरी तिनीहरूसँग खाने गर्दछ ।”
and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.
3 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो,
And he spake 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 from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it?
5 त्यसपछि जब उसले भेट्टाउँछ, उसलाई काँधमा राखेर रमाउँछ ।
And, finding it, he layeth 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 unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto 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 unto you—Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no 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, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, 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 together her female friends and neighbours, saying—Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.
10 त्यसै गरी, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि एक जना पश्चात्ताप गर्ने पापीका खातिर परमेश्वरका दूतहरूका उपस्थितिमा स्वर्गमा ठुलो आनन्द हुनेछ ।”
Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
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 unto the father—Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the living.
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, after not many days, the younger son, gathering all together, left home for a country far away, and, there, squandered his substance with riotous living.
14 जब उनले सबै खर्च गरी सिध्याए, त्यहाँ देशभरि ठुलो अनिकाल पर्न सुरुभयो र उनी निकै खाँचोमा पर्न थाले ।
And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout 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 his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine.
16 उनलाई कसैले केही पनि खानेकुरा नदिएका कारण सुँगुरहरूले खाने दानाले उनले आफ्नो पेट भर्न चाहन्थे ।
And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving 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!
But coming, to himself, he said—How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!
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 unto 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 ।’
No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.
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 ।
Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly 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 unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —[make me as one of thy hired servants.]
22 बुबाले सेवकहरूलाई भने, ‘तुरुन्तै उत्तम वस्त्रहरू ल्याओ र उनलाई लगाइदेओ, उनको हातमा औँठी र खुट्टामा जुत्ता लगाइदेओ ।’
But the father said unto his servants—Quick! bring forth a robe—the best! and put on him, and get out a ring for his hand, and sandals for his feet.
23 त्यसपछि मोटो पशु मार । हामी खाऔँ र उत्सव मनाऔँ ।
And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! 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 hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.
25 अब उनको जेठो छोरा खेतमा थियो, ऊ जब घरको नजिकै आइपुग्यो, उनले नाचगानहरू भैरहेको सुने ।
But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing, —
26 उनले सेवकहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई बोलाएर के कुराहरू भइराखेको होला भनेर सोधे ।
and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
27 सेवकले उनलाई भने, तपाईंका भाइ आउनुभएको छ, र तपाईंको बुबाले मोटो पशु मार्नुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँ सुरक्षित फर्कनुभयो ।
And, he, said unto him, —Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.
28 जेठो छोरो रिसाएको थियो र भित्र पसेन र उनका बुबा बाहिर आएर उसलाई मनाउन थाले ।
But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, 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,
But, he, answering said unto his father—Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, —And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;
30 तर जब तपाईंको छोरा आयो, जसले सम्पत्ति वेश्याहरूसँग सखाप पारेको थियो, त्यसको लागि तपाईंले मोटो पशु मार्नुभयो ।’
But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, 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 unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, 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, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother—was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.
