लुका 16
1 येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई यसो पनि भन्नुभयो, “कोही एक जना धनी मानिसको एउटा व्यवस्थापक थियो र त्यस व्यवस्थापकले तिनको धन फजुल खर्च गरिरहेको छ भनी तिनलाई सुनाइदिए ।
And he said also to [his] disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused to him as wasting his goods.
2 तब ती धनी मानिसले उसलाई बोलाएर भने, ‘तिम्रो बारेमा म यो के सुन्दै छु? तिम्रो व्यवस्थापनको बारेमा हिसाब देऊ । अब उप्रान्त तिमी व्यवस्थापक रहन सक्दैनौ ।’
And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3 त्यो व्यवस्थापकले आफैँसँग भन्यो, ‘मेरा मालिकले अब मलाई व्यवस्थापकको कामबाट हटाउन लागेका छन्, म के गरूँ? मेरो खन्ने तागत छैन; मलाई माग्न पनि लाज लाग्दछ ।
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 मैले के गर्नेछु भन्ने कुरा मलाई थाहा छ । मलाई व्यवस्थापकको कामबाट हटाइएपछि मानिसहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूका घरमा निम्त्याऊन् भनी म यसो गर्नेछु ।’
I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
5 तब त्यस व्यवस्थापकले उसका मालिकका ऋणीहरू प्रत्येकलाई बोलायो र पहिलो चाहिँलाई भन्यो, ‘तिमीले मेरा मालिकलाई कति तिर्नु छ?’
And having called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 उसले भन्यो, ‘एक सय माना जैतूनको तेल ।’ उसले त्यसलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रो तमसुक लेऊ, तुरुन्तै बसेर पचास लेख ।’
And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.
7 तब त्यस व्यवस्थापकले अर्कोलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रोचाहिँ ऋण कति छ?’ उसले भन्यो, ‘एकसय माना गहुँ ।’ उसले त्यसलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रो तमसुक ल्याऊ र असी लेख ।’
Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing and write eighty.
8 तब ती मालिकले त्यस अधर्मी व्यवस्थापकको प्रशंसा गरे किनकि उसले चतुर्याइँसँग काम गरेको थियो । किनकि आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग व्यवहार गर्दा ज्योतिका सन्तानभन्दा यस संसारका सन्तानहरू बढी चतुर हुन्छन् । (aiōn g165)
And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
9 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, अधर्मी धनले तिमीहरूले अफ्ना लागि मित्र बनाओ, र यो धन सकिएपछि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई अनन्त वासस्थानमा स्वागत गरून् । (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 जो अत्यन्तै थोरैमा विश्वासयोग्य हुन्छ, त्यो धेरैमा पनि विश्वासयोग्य हुन्छ र जो अत्यन्तै थोरैमा अधर्मी हुन्छ, त्यो धेरैमा पनि अधर्मी हुन्छ ।
He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू अधर्मी सम्पत्ति प्रयोग गर्ने कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएनौ भने, साँचो सम्पत्तिमा तिमीहरूलाई कसले भरोसा गर्ला र?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
12 त्यस्तै अरू मानिसहरूको सम्पत्तिमा तिमीहरू विश्वासयोग्य भएनौ भने, तिमीहरूको आफ्नै सम्पत्ति तिमीहरूलाई कसले देला र?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
13 कुनै पनि सेवकले दुई जना मालिकको सेवा गर्न सक्दैन, किनभने त्यसले एउटालाई घृणा गर्नेछ र अर्कोलाई प्रेम गर्नेछ अथवा एउटाप्रति भक्ति देखाउनेछ र अर्कोलाई तुच्छ ठान्नेछ । तिमीहरूले परमेश्वर र धनको सेवा गर्न सक्दैनौ ।”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 अब सम्पत्तिका प्रेमी फरिसीहरूले यी सबै कुरा सुने र तिनीहरूले उहाँको गिल्ला गरे ।
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
15 अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसको दृष्टिमा तिमीहरूले आफैँलाई धर्मी ठहर्याउँछौ, तर परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका हृदयहरू जान्नुहुन्छ । जो मानिसहरूका माझमा उच्च हुन्छ, त्यो परमेश्वरको नजरमा घृणित हुन्छ ।
And he said to them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.
16 यूहन्ना आउनअगि अगमवक्ता र व्यवस्थाले काम गर्दथे । त्यस समयदेखि, परमेश्वरको राज्यको सुसमाचार प्रचार गरिएको छ र यसमा सबै जना बलजफ्तीसँग प्रवेश गर्न कोसिस गर्छन् ।
The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.
17 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जान सक्ला तर व्यवस्थाको वचनबाट एउटा अक्षरको थोप्लो पनि रद्द हुनेछैन ।
But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
18 प्रत्येक जसले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई छोडपत्र दिन्छ र अर्कीसँग विवाह गर्छ, त्यसले व्यभिचार गर्छ र जसले आफ्नो पतिसँग छोडपत्र गरेकीसँग विवाह गर्छ त्यसले पनि व्यभिचार गर्छ ।
Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.
19 अब कोही एक जना धनी मानिस थियो र उसले सधैँ मसिनो मलमल र वैजनी वस्त्र पहिरन्थ्यो र आफ्नो प्रशस्त धन सम्पत्तिमा हरेक दिन आनन्द गर्दथ्यो ।
Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
20 लाजरस नाम गरेको, घावैघाउ भएको कोही एक जना मानिसलाई ल्याएर उसको ढोकामा राखिदिन्थे ।
And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
21 उसले त्यस धनी मानिसको टेबलबाट झरेका टुक्राटाक्रीले आफ्नो पेट भर्ने इच्छा गर्थ्यो र त्यसबाहेक, कुकुरहरू आएर उसका घाउहरू चाट्ने गर्थे ।
and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.
22 यसपछि त्यो भिखारी मर्यो र स्वर्गदूतहरूले उसलाई उठाएर अब्राहामकहाँ लगे । त्यो धनी मानिस पनि मर्यो र गाडियो ।
And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 र नरकमा कष्ट भोगिरहेको बेला, उसले आफ्ना आँखा उठाएर हेर्यो र टाढामा अब्राहामलाई र तिनको छातीमा आड लागेको लाजरसलाई देख्यो । (Hadēs g86)
And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 अनि उसले कराएर भन्यो, ‘पिता अब्राहाम, ममाथि कृपा गर्नुहोस् र लाजरसलाई पठाइदिनुहोस् । उसको औँलाले पानीको थोपा चुहाई देओस् र मेरो जिब्रो शितल हुनेछ किनभने म यस ज्वालाको पीडामा छु ।’
And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.
25 तर अब्राहामले भने, ‘बाबु आफ्नो जीवनकालमा तिमीले असल कुराहरू पायौ र त्यसै गरी लाजरसले खराब कुराहरू पायो भन्ने कुरा याद राख । तर अहिले ऊ यहाँ आराममा छ र तिमी पीडामा छौ ।
But Abraham said, Child, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.
26 र यी सबै बाहेक तिम्रो र हाम्रो बिचमा र मानिसहरू यताबाट उता र उताबाट यता आउन नसकून् भनेर ठुलो खाडल राखिएको छ ।’
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.
27 धनी मानिसले भन्यो, ‘म बिन्ती गर्छु पिता अब्राहाम, उसलाई मेरा पिताको घरमा पठाइदिनुहोस् ।
And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
28 किनकि मेरा पाँच जना भाइ छन् । उसले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिओस् र तिनीहरू यस डरलाग्दो ठाउँमा आउनु नपरोस् ।’
for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29 तर अब्राहामले भने, ‘तिनीहरूसँग मोशा र अगमवक्ताहरू छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनून् ।’
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.
30 धनी मानिसले उत्तर दियो, ‘होइन पिता अब्राहाम, मरेकाहरूबाट कोही तिनीहरूकहाँ गयो भने, तिनीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गर्ने थिए ।’
But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.
31 अब्राहामले उसलाई भने, ‘यदि तिनीहरूले मोशा र अगमवक्ताका कुरा सुनेनन् भने कोही मृत्युबाट उठेको मानिसको कुरा पनि मान्ने छैनन्’ ।”
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
