लुका 15
1 अब सबै कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरू उहाँकहाँ वचन सुन्नलाई आउँदै थिए ।
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Jesus to listen to him.
2 फरिसीहरू र शास्त्रीहरू एक-अर्कासँग गनगन गर्न थाले र भने, “यस मानिसले पापीहरूलाई स्वागत गरी तिनीहरूसँग खाने गर्दछ ।”
But the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
3 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो,
So 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, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the other ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?
5 त्यसपछि जब उसले भेट्टाउँछ, उसलाई काँधमा राखेर रमाउँछ ।
And when he does find it, he rejoices as he lays 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 ।’
Then he returns home and calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to 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 ।
I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who 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 suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one of them. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the 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 does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘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 he 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 of the two said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that will belong to me.’ So the father divided his assets between his two sons.
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 ।
A few days later, the younger son gathered together all that he had and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his property by living recklessly.
14 जब उनले सबै खर्च गरी सिध्याए, त्यहाँ देशभरि ठुलो अनिकाल पर्न सुरुभयो र उनी निकै खाँचोमा पर्न थाले ।
When he had spent all that he had, a severe famine arose throughout 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 one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
16 उनलाई कसैले केही पनि खानेकुरा नदिएका कारण सुँगुरहरूले खाने दानाले उनले आफ्नो पेट भर्न चाहन्थे ।
The young man longed to fill his belly with the carob pods the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
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!
When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired workers have an abundance of bread, while I 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, go to my father, and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before yoʋ.
19 म तपाईंको छोरा भनिनयोग्य छैनँ; मलाई तपाईंका सेवकहरूमध्ये एक नोकर बनाउनुहोस् ।’
I am no longer worthy to be called yoʋr son; make me like one of yoʋr hired workers.”’
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 arose and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion. So he ran to his son, threw his arms around 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 ।’
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before yoʋ. I am no longer worthy to be called yoʋr 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 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 eat 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 but is now alive again; he was lost but has now been found.’ And they began to celebrate.
25 अब उनको जेठो छोरा खेतमा थियो, ऊ जब घरको नजिकै आइपुग्यो, उनले नाचगानहरू भैरहेको सुने ।
“Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to 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 over and asked him what was happening.
27 सेवकले उनलाई भने, तपाईंका भाइ आउनुभएको छ, र तपाईंको बुबाले मोटो पशु मार्नुभएको छ, किनकि उहाँ सुरक्षित फर्कनुभयो ।
The servant said to him, ‘Yoʋr brother has come, and yoʋr father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received yoʋr brother back safe and sound.’
28 जेठो छोरो रिसाएको थियो र भित्र पसेन र उनका बुबा बाहिर आएर उसलाई मनाउन थाले ।
But the older son was angry and would not go in. So his father came out and began pleading 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 said to his father in response, ‘Behold, all these years I have served yoʋ and have never disobeyed yoʋr command, yet yoʋ have never given me even a young goat so that 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 yoʋrs came, who has devoured yoʋr assets with prostitutes, yoʋ killed the fattened calf for him.’
31 बुबाले उनलाई भने, ‘छोरा, तिमी त मसँग सधैँ छौ र मसँग भएका सबै थोक तिम्रै हुन् ।
The father said to him, ‘Son, yoʋ are always with me, and everything I have is yoʋrs.
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 proper to celebrate and rejoice, for yoʋr brother was dead but is now alive again; he was lost but has now been found.’”
