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 ।
Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of 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 ।’
So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
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 ।
Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength 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, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’
5 तब त्यस व्यवस्थापकले उसका मालिकका ऋणीहरू प्रत्येकलाई बोलायो र पहिलो चाहिँलाई भन्यो, ‘तिमीले मेरा मालिकलाई कति तिर्नु छ?’
Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
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 olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill 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 how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill 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)
The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the 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)
“I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings! (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 who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
11 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू अधर्मी सम्पत्ति प्रयोग गर्ने कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएनौ भने, साँचो सम्पत्तिमा तिमीहरूलाई कसले भरोसा गर्ला र?
If therefore you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
12 त्यस्तै अरू मानिसहरूको सम्पत्तिमा तिमीहरू विश्वासयोग्य भएनौ भने, तिमीहरूको आफ्नै सम्पत्ति तिमीहरूलाई कसले देला र?
And if you have not been faithful in what belongs to another, who will give you what is 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; either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon!”
14 अब सम्पत्तिका प्रेमी फरिसीहरूले यी सबै कुरा सुने र तिनीहरूले उहाँको गिल्ला गरे ।
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing 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 ।
So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men 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; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.
17 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जान सक्ला तर व्यवस्थाको वचनबाट एउटा अक्षरको थोप्लो पनि रद्द हुनेछैन ।
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to 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 ।
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her 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 certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 लाजरस नाम गरेको, घावैघाउ भएको कोही एक जना मानिसलाई ल्याएर उसको ढोकामा राखिदिन्थे ।
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
21 उसले त्यस धनी मानिसको टेबलबाट झरेका टुक्राटाक्रीले आफ्नो पेट भर्ने इच्छा गर्थ्यो र त्यसबाहेक, कुकुरहरू आएर उसका घाउहरू चाट्ने गर्थे ।
just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
22 यसपछि त्यो भिखारी मर्यो र स्वर्गदूतहरूले उसलाई उठाएर अब्राहामकहाँ लगे । त्यो धनी मानिस पनि मर्यो र गाडियो ।
In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “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 he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (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 ।’
he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by 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, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.
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 has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’
27 धनी मानिसले भन्यो, ‘म बिन्ती गर्छु पिता अब्राहाम, उसलाई मेरा पिताको घरमा पठाइदिनुहोस् ।
Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
28 किनकि मेरा पाँच जना भाइ छन् । उसले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिओस् र तिनीहरू यस डरलाग्दो ठाउँमा आउनु नपरोस् ।’
because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
29 तर अब्राहामले भने, ‘तिनीहरूसँग मोशा र अगमवक्ताहरू छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनून् ।’
Abraham said 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 ।’
So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone 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’ ।”
He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise from the dead.’”
