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 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 ।’
And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts 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 in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and 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 am turned out of my place, 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?’
So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
6 उसले भन्यो, ‘एक सय माना जैतूनको तेल ।’ उसले त्यसलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रो तमसुक लेऊ, तुरुन्तै बसेर पचास लेख ।’
And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but 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 owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
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 his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser than the children 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 unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into everlasting habitations. (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 lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, is unjust 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 false riches, who will intrust you with 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 was another's, who will give you that which 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; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect 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 derided 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 unto them, Ye justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of 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 continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
17 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जान सक्ला तर व्यवस्थाको वचनबाट एउटा अक्षरको थोप्लो पनि रद्द हुनेछैन ।
Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than 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 ।
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth 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 clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
20 लाजरस नाम गरेको, घावैघाउ भएको कोही एक जना मानिसलाई ल्याएर उसको ढोकामा राखिदिन्थे ।
And there was a poor man named Lazarus,
21 उसले त्यस धनी मानिसको टेबलबाट झरेका टुक्राटाक्रीले आफ्नो पेट भर्ने इच्छा गर्थ्यो र त्यसबाहेक, कुकुरहरू आएर उसका घाउहरू चाट्ने गर्थे ।
who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
22 यसपछि त्यो भिखारी मर्यो र स्वर्गदूतहरूले उसलाई उठाएर अब्राहामकहाँ लगे । त्यो धनी मानिस पनि मर्यो र गाडियो ।
and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: 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 hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham from afar, 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 cried out and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented 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 ।
And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, and thou art 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, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
27 धनी मानिसले भन्यो, ‘म बिन्ती गर्छु पिता अब्राहाम, उसलाई मेरा पिताको घरमा पठाइदिनुहोस् ।
Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst 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 ।’
for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 तर अब्राहामले भने, ‘तिनीहरूसँग मोशा र अगमवक्ताहरू छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनून् ।’
Abraham answered 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 ।’
and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, 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 replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
