लुका 18
1 तब तिनीहरूले कसरी सधैँ प्रार्थना गर्नुपर्छ र निरुत्साह हुनुहुँदैन भन्ने सम्बन्धमा उहाँले तिनीहरूसँग दृष्टान्तमा बोल्नुभयो ।
Now he also told them a parable, that we should continually pray and not cease,
2 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “कुनै एउटा सहरमा एक जना न्यायाधीश बस्दथे, जसले परमेश्वरको भय मान्दैनथे र मानिसहरूको पनि आदर गर्दैनथे ।
saying: “There was a certain judge in a certain city, who did not fear God and did not respect 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 ।’
But there was a certain widow in that city, and she went to him, saying, ‘Vindicate me from my adversary.’
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 he refused to do so for a long time. But afterwards, he said within himself: ‘Even though I do not fear God, nor respect man,
5 तर यस विधवाले मलाई सताउँछे । त्यसैले, मकहाँ बारम्बार आएर यसले मलाई नसताओस् भनेर, म उसलाई न्याय दिलाउनेछु’ ।”
yet because this widow is pestering me, I will vindicate her, lest by returning, she may, in the end, wear me out.’”
6 तब प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “ती अन्यायी न्यायाधीशले के भन्छन्, सुन ।
Then the Lord said: “Listen to what the unjust judge said.
7 के परमेश्वरले पनि उहाँलाई दिनरात पुकारा गर्ने आफ्ना चुनिएका मानिसहरूको निम्ति न्याय गरिदिनुहुन्न र? के उहाँ तिनीहरूप्रति धैर्यवान् हुनुहुन्न र?
So then, will not God grant the vindication of his elect, who cry out to him day and night? Or will he continue to endure them?
8 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई तुरुन्तै न्याय दिलाउनुहुनेछ । तर जब मानिसका पुत्र आउनेछन्, के उनले पृथ्वीमा विश्वास भेट्टाउनेछन् र?”
I tell you that he will quickly bring vindication to them. Yet truly, when the Son of man returns, do you think that he will find faith on earth?”
9 त्यसपछि उहाँले आफैँलाई धर्मी ठान्ने र अरूलाई तुच्छ ठान्ने कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त पनि भन्नुभयो,
Now about certain persons who consider themselves to be just, while disdaining others, he told also this parable:
10 “दुई जना मानिस मन्दिरमा प्रार्थना गर्न गए– एक जना फरिसी र अर्को कर उठाउने ।
“Two men ascended to the temple, in order to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
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 ।
Standing, the Pharisee prayed within himself in this way: ‘O God, I give thanks to you that I am not like the rest of men: robbers, unjust, adulterers, even as this tax collector chooses to be.
12 म हरेक हप्ता दुई पटक उपवास बस्दछु । म आफूले पाएका सबै थोकको दशांश दिन्छु ।’
I fast twice between Sabbaths. I give tithes from 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 tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing to even lift up his eyes to heaven. But he struck his chest, saying: ‘O 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 one descended to his house justified, but not the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई छोइदिऊन् भनी मानिसहरूले बालबालिकाहरूलाई पनि उहाँकहाँ ल्याए, तर यो यो देखेर चेलाहरूले तिनीहरूलाई हकारे ।
And they were bringing little children to him, so that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
16 तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साना बालबालिकाहरूलाई मकहाँ आउन देओ, तिनीहरूलाई नरोक, किनभने स्वर्गको राज्य यस्तैहरूको हो ।
But Jesus, calling them together, said: “Allow the children to come to me, and do not be an obstacle to them. 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 ।”
Amen, I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a child, will not enter into it.”
18 एक जना शासकले उहाँलाई सोधे, “हे असल गुरु, अनन्त जीवन प्राप्त गर्न मैले के गर्नुपर्छ?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain leader questioned him, saying: “Good teacher, what should I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “किन मलाई असल भन्दछौ, एक परमेश्वरबाहेक कोही पनि असल छैन ।
Then Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
20 तिमीलाई आज्ञाहरू थाहा छ– तैँले व्यभिचार नगर्नू, हत्या नगर्नू, नचोर्नू, झुटो गवाही नदिनू, आफ्ना आमाबुबाको आदर गर्नू ।”
You know the commandments: You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. Honor your father and mother.”
21 ती शासकले भने, “यी सब कुराहरू त मैले आफ्नो जवान अवस्थादेखि नै पालन गरिरहेको छु ।”
And he said, “I have kept all these things 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 ।”
And when Jesus heard this, he said to him: “One thing is still lacking for you. Sell all the things that you have, and give to the poor. And then you will 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 ।
When he heard this, he became very sorrowful. For he was very rich.
24 तब येशूले तिनलाई हेरेर अति दुःखित हुँदै भन्नुभयो, “धनी मानिसलाई स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्न कति गाह्रो छ!
Then Jesus, seeing him brought to sorrow, said: “How difficult it is for those who have money 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for a wealthy man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
26 त्यो सुन्नेहरूले यसो भने, “त्यसो भए को बचाइनेछ त?”
And those who were listening to this said, “Then who is able to be saved?”
27 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “मानिसको निम्ति जुन कुरा असम्भव छ, त्यो परमेश्वरमा सम्भव छ ।”
He said to them, “Things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 पत्रुसले जवाफ दिए, “हामीले आफ्ना सबै कुराहरू त्यागेर तपाईंको पछि लागेका छौँ ।”
And Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything, and we have followed you.”
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: “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has left behind home, or parents, or brothers, or a 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 ।
Then Jesus took the twelve aside, and he said to them: “Behold, we are ascending to Jerusalem, and everything shall be completed which was written by the prophets about the Son of man.
32 किनकि उनी अन्यजातिहरूका हातमा सुम्पिइनेछन् र मनिसहरूले उनलाई गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र अपमानजनक व्यवहार गर्नेछन् र उनलाई थुक्नेछन् ।
For he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and scourged and spit upon.
33 उनलाई दण्ड दिइसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्नेछन् र तेस्रो दिनमा उनी मृत्युबाट जीवित भई उठ्नेछन् ।”
And after they have scourged him, they will kill him. And on the third day, he will rise again.”
34 उनीहरूले यी कुनै पनि कुराहरू बुझेनन् र यो वचन उनीहरूबाट लुकाइएका थिए, यसकारण भनिएका कुनै पनि कुराहरू उनीहरूको समझमा आएन ।
But they understood none of these things. For this word was concealed from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 येशू यरीहो नजिक आउनुहुँदा, एक जना दृष्टिविहीन मानिस बाटोको छेउमा बसी भिख मागिरहेको थियो ।
Now it happened that, as he was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way, 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 was.
37 तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, “नासरतका येशू यो बाटो भएर जाँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 त्यसपछि त्यो दृष्टिविहीन मानिसले चिच्याउँदै भन्यो, “हे दाऊदका पुत्र येशू, ममाथि दया गर्नुहोस् ।”
And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity 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 were passing by rebuked him, so that he would be silent. Yet truly, he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
40 येशू टक्क उभिनुभयो र त्यस दृष्टिविहीन मानिसलाई आफूकहाँ ल्याउन आज्ञा गर्नुभयो । जब त्यस दृष्टिविहीन मानिस येशूको नजिक आयो, येशूले उसलाई सोध्नुभयो,
Then Jesus, standing still, ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had drawn near, he questioned him,
41 “मैले तिम्रो निम्ति के गरेको तिमी चाहन्छौ?” उसले भन्यो, “प्रभु, म देख्न चाहन्छु ।”
saying, “What do you want, that I might do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see.”
42 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिमी देख्ने भइ जाऊ । तिम्रो विश्वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ ।”
And Jesus said to him: “Look around. Your faith has saved you.”
43 तुरुन्तै उसले देख्न सक्यो र परमेश्वरको महिमा गर्दै उहाँलाई पछ्यायो । यो देखेर सबै मानिसहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।
And immediately he saw. And he followed him, magnifying God. And all the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
