लुका 18
1 तब तिनीहरूले कसरी सधैँ प्रार्थना गर्नुपर्छ र निरुत्साह हुनुहुँदैन भन्ने सम्बन्धमा उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग दृष्टान्तमा बोल्नुभयो ।
And he spoke a parable to them, that they ought always to pray, and not to become weary,
2 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “कुनै एउटा सहरमा एक जना न्यायाधीश बस्दथे, जसले परमेश्वरको भय मान्दैनथे र मानिसहरूको पनि आदर गर्दैनथे ।
saying: There was in a certain city a judge, who neither feared God nor regarded man.
3 त्यस सहरमा एक जना विधवा बस्थिन् र बारम्बार ती अधर्मी न्यायाधीशकहाँ आउँथिन् र भन्थिन्, ‘मलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस् र मेरो वादीको विरुद्ध मलाई न्याय दिलाउनुहोस् ।’
And there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, and said: Avenge me on my opponent at law.
4 लामो समयसम्म उनले ती विधवालाई सहायता गर्ने इच्छा गरेनन्, तर केही समयपछि उनले मनमनै भने, ‘मैले परमेश्वरको भय मान्दिनँ र मानिसहरूको पनि आदर गर्दिनँ,
And for a while he refused. But afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 तर यस विधवाले मलाई सताउँछे । त्यसैले, मकहाँ बारम्बार आएर यसले मलाई नसताओस् भनेर, म उसलाई न्याय दिलाउनेछु’ ।”
yet, because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 तब प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “ती अन्यायी न्यायाधीशले के भन्छन्, सुन ।
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge says;
7 के परमेश्वरले पनि उहाँलाई दिनरात पुकारा गर्ने आफ्ना चुनिएका मानिसहरूको निम्ति न्याय गरिदिनुहुन्न र? के उहाँ तिनीहरूप्रति धैर्यवान् हुनुहुन्न र?
and will not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, though he delay long in respect to them?
8 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै न्याय दिलाउनुहुनेछ । तर जब मानिसका पुत्र आउनेछन्, के उनले पृथ्वीमा विश्वास भेट्टाउनेछन् र?”
I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. Yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find the faith on the earth?
9 त्यसपछि उहाँले आफैँलाई धर्मी ठान्ने र अरूलाई तुच्छ ठान्ने कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त पनि भन्नुभयो,
And he spoke this parable to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and who despised others.
10 “दुई जना मानिस मन्दिरमा प्रार्थना गर्न गए– एक जना फरिसी र अर्को कर उठाउने ।
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 फरिसीले उभिएर यसो भनेर आफ्नै बारेमा प्रार्थना गर्यो, ‘हे परमेश्वर, म तपाईंलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु कि म अरू चोरहरूजस्तो छैनँ, अधर्मीहरूजस्तो छैनँ, व्यभिचारीजस्तो पनि छैनँ, यही कर उठाउनेजस्तो पनि छैनँ ।
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 म हरेक हप्ता दुई पटक उपवास बस्दछु । म आफूले पाएका सबै थोकको दशांश दिन्छु ।’
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 तर कर उठाउने मानिसले टाढैबाट उभिएर, स्वर्गतिर पनि नहेरीकन आफ्नो छाती पिट्दै यसो भन्यो, ‘हे परमेश्वर म पापीमाथि कृपालु हुनुहोस् ।’
And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि यो मानिस अर्को मानिसभन्दा बढी धर्मी ठहरिएर आफ्नो घर फर्क्यो, किनभने हरेक जसले आफूलाई उचाल्दछ त्यो होच्याइनेछ र जसले आफैँलाई होच्याउँछ त्यो उचालिनेछ ।
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself, shall be humbled; but he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.
15 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई छोइदिऊन् भनी मानिसहरूले बालबालिकाहरूलाई पनि उहाँकहाँ ल्याए, तर यो यो देखेर चेलाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई हकारे ।
And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them. But when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साना बालबालिकाहरूलाई मकहाँ आउन देओ, तिनीहरूलाई नरोक, किनभने स्वर्गको राज्य यस्तैहरूको हो ।
And Jesus called them to him, and said: Let the little children come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि कसैले परमेश्वरको राज्यलाई बालकले झैँ ग्रहण गर्दैन भने त्यो निश्चय नै स्वर्गमा प्रवेश गर्नेछैन ।”
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, shall in no way enter into it.
18 एक जना शासकले उहाँलाई सोधे, “हे असल गुरु, अनन्त जीवन प्राप्त गर्न मैले के गर्नुपर्छ?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “किन मलाई असल भन्दछौ, एक परमेश्वरबाहेक कोही पनि असल छैन ।
And Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but one, that is God.
20 तिमीलाई आज्ञाहरू थाहा छ– तैँले व्यभिचार नगर्नू, हत्या नगर्नू, नचोर्नू, झुटो गवाही नदिनू, आफ्ना आमाबुबाको आदर गर्नू ।”
You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false testimony; Honor your father and your mother.
21 ती शासकले भने, “यी सब कुराहरू त मैले आफ्नो जवान अवस्थादेखि नै पालन गरिरहेको छु ।”
He replied: All these have I kept from my youth.
22 जब येशूले यो सुन्नुभयो, उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीमा अझै एउटा कुराको कमी छ । तिमीले आफ्नो सारा सम्पत्ति बेच्नुपर्छ र गरिबहरूलाई दिनुपर्छ अनि तिम्रो धन स्वर्गमा हुनेछ । त्यसपछि आऊ र मेरोपछि लाग ।”
When Jesus heard this, he said to him: One thing you yet lack; sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 तर जब धनी मानिसले यो कुरा सुने, तिनी अति नै दुःखित भए, कारण तिनी धेरै धनी थिए ।
And when he heard this, he was very sad, for he was very rich.
24 तब येशूले तिनलाई हेरेर अति दुःखित हुँदै भन्नुभयो, “धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्न कति गाह्रो छ!
When Jesus saw that he was very sad, he said: How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नुभन्दा बरु उँटलाई सियोको नाथ्रीबाट छिर्नु सजिलो हुन्छ!”
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom, of God.
26 त्यो सुन्नेहरूले यसो भने, “त्यसो भए को बचाइनेछ त?”
And those who heard it said: Who, then, can be saved?
27 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मानिसको निम्ति जुन कुरा असम्भव छ, त्यो परमेश्वरमा सम्भव छ ।”
He replied: Things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 पत्रुसले जवाफ दिए, “हामीले आफ्ना सबै कुराहरू त्यागेर तपाईंको पछि लागेका छौँ ।”
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all and followed thee.
29 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जसले परमेश्वरको राज्यको खातिर घर, श्रीमती वा दाजुभाइ, आमाबुबा वा छोराछोरीलाई त्याग्दछन्,
And he said to them: Verily I say to you, There is no one that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 बाह्र जनालाई आफूकहाँ भेला गरेर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हेर, हामी यरूशलेमतर्फ जाँदै छौँ, अनि मानिसका पुत्रको बारेमा अगमवक्ताहरूले लेखेका सबै कुरा पुरा हुनेछन् ।
And he took the twelve aside, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.:
32 किनकि उनी अन्यजातिहरूका हातमा सुम्पिइनेछन् र मनिसहरूले उनलाई गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र अपमानजनक व्यवहार गर्नेछन् र उनलाई थुक्नेछन् ।
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be derided and insulted and spit upon;
33 उनलाई दण्ड दिइसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्नेछन् र तेस्रो दिनमा उनी मृत्युबाट जीवित भई उठ्नेछन् ।”
and they shall scourge him, and put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.
34 उनीहरूले यी कुनै पनि कुराहरू बुझेनन् र यो वचन उनीहरूबाट लुकाइएका थिए, यसकारण भनिएका कुनै पनि कुराहरू उनीहरूको समझमा आएन ।
And they understood none of these things; and this saying was concealed from them; and they understood not the things that were spoken.
35 येशू यरीहो नजिक आउनुहुँदा, एक जना दृष्टिविहीन मानिस बाटोको छेउमा बसी भिख मागिरहेको थियो ।
And it came to pass, that, as he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging.
36 त्यो बाटो भएर ठुलो भिड गइरहेको कुरा सुनेर उसले सोध्यो, “यहाँ के हुँदै छ?”
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “नासरतका येशू यो बाटो भएर जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.
38 त्यसपछि त्यो दृष्टिविहीन मानिसले चिच्याउँदै भन्यो, “हे दाऊदका पुत्र येशू, ममाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।”
And he cried out and said: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 भिडको अगिअगि हिँडिरहेका मानिसहरूले त्यो दृष्टिविहीन मानिसलाई हकारेर चुप लाग्न भने, तर उसले झन् चर्को स्वरले कराउँदै भन्यो, “दाऊदका पुत्र, ममाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।”
And those who went before rebuked him, that he should be silent. But he cried so much the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 येशू टक्क उभिनुभयो र त्यस दृष्टिविहीन मानिसलाई आफूकहाँ ल्याउन आज्ञा गर्नुभयो । जब त्यस दृष्टिविहीन मानिस येशूको नजिक आयो, येशूले उसलाई सोध्नुभयो,
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,
41 “मैले तिम्रो निम्ति के गरेको तिमी चाहन्छौ?” उसले भन्यो, “प्रभु, म देख्न चाहन्छु ।”
saying: What do you wish me to do for you? he replied: Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिमी देख्ने भइ जाऊ । तिम्रो विश्वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ ।”
And Jesus said to him: Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.
43 तुरुन्तै उसले देख्न सक्यो र परमेश्वरको महिमा गर्दै उहाँलाई पछ्यायो । यो देखेर सबै मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।
And he immediately received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
