< लुका 19 >

1 येशू यरीहोमा प्रवेश गरेर त्यहाँबाट जाँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
AND entering into Jericho, he passed through.
2 हेर, त्यहाँ जखायस नाउँ गरेका एक जना मानिस थिए । उनी कर उठनेहरूका मुख्य र धनी मानिस थिए ।
And there was a person whose name was Zaccheus, and he was a principal farmer of the taxes, and the man was rich.
3 उनले येशू को हुनुहुन्छ भनी हेर्न कोसिस गरिरहेका थिए, तर भिडको कारणले गर्दा हेर्न सकेनन्, किनकि उनी होचा थिए ।
And he was desirous to have a sight of Jesus, what sort of person he was; and he could not, because of the crowd, for he was short of stature.
4 त्यसैले उनी भिडका मानिसहरूभन्दा अगाडि दौडे र उहाँलाई हेर्नको लागि नेभाराको रुखमा चढे, किनभने येशू त्यही बाटो भएर जाँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
So running before, he climbed up a sycamore-tree, in order to get a sight of him: for he was about to pass that way.
5 जब येशू उनी भएको ठाउँ नजिक आइपुग्‍नुभयो, उहाँले मास्तिर हेरेर भन्‍नुभयो, “जखायस छिटो ओर्ली आऊ, किनकि आज मलाई तिम्रो घरमा बस्‍नु छ ।”
And when he was come to the spot, Jesus looking up, saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, come down speedily; for to-day I must abide at thy house.
6 त्यसैले उनी हतार-हतार ओर्ली आए र उहाँलाई खुसीसाथ स्वागत गरे ।
And he hastened to come down, and entertained him gladly.
7 जब तिनीहरू सबैले यो देखे, तब उनीहरूले यसो भन्दै गनगन गर्न थाले, “उहाँ पापी मानिसकहाँ बस्‍नको लागि जानुभयो ।”
And when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, That he is gone to lodge with a man, a notorious sinner.
8 जखायस खडा भएर भने, “हेर्नुहोस् प्रभु, मसँग भएका जे-जति छन् त्यसको आधा म गरिबहरूलाई दिनेछु र यदि मैले कसैलाई ठगेर कसैबाट केही कुरा लिएको छु भने त्यसको चार गुणा फिर्ता दिनेछु ।”
Then Zaccheus standing up, said unto the Lord, Behold, the half of my goods, Lord, I give unto the poor; and if I have got any thing from any man, by laying false informations, I am ready to restore fourfold.
9 येशूले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “आज यो घरमा मुक्‍ति आएको छ, किनकि यिनी पनि अब्राहामका पुत्र हुन् ।
Then said Jesus unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, because that he also is a son of Abraham.
10 किनकि मानिसका पुत्र हराएकाहरूलाई खोज्‍न र बचाउनको लागि आएका हुन् ।”
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 तिनीहरूले यी कुरा सुन्दै गर्दा, उहाँले अर्को दृष्‍टान्त पनि भन्‍नुभयो, किनभने तिनीहरू यरूशलेमको नजिक थिए र तिनीहरूले परमेश्‍वरको राज्य तुरुन्तै देखा पर्न लागेको छ भन्‍ने सोचेका थिए ।
And as they were hearkening to these things, he proceeded on, and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they supposed that immediately the kingdom of God would openly appear.
12 त्यसकारण, उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “एउटा भलादमी मानिस आफ्नो राज्य प्राप्‍त गर्नको निम्ति एउटा टाढा देशमा गएर फर्की आउनलाई गए ।
He said therefore, A certain man of noble family went into a distant region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 उनले आफ्ना दस जना नोकरलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई दस सिक्‍का दिँदै भने, ‘म फर्की नआउँदासम्म यसलाई व्यापारमा लगाओ ।’
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten manehs, and said unto them, Employ yourselves in traffic, till I come back.
14 तर उनका मानिसहरूले घृणा गर्दै यसो भन्‍ने सन्देश दिएर दूतहरू पठाए, ‘यो मानिसले हामीमाथि शासन गरेको हामी चाहँदैनौँ ।’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to rule over us.
15 तब राज्य प्राप्‍त गरी फर्केर आएपछि उनले सिक्‍का पाएका नोकरहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूले व्यापारबाट कति आर्जन गरे भनेर जान्‍ने इच्छा गरे ।
And it came to pass, at his return, after receiving the kingdom, that he ordered the servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what every one had gained by his traffic.
16 पहिलो नोकर उनको अगाडि आयो र भन्यो, ‘मालिक, मैले तपाईंको सिक्‍काबाट अरू दस सिक्‍का कमाएँ ।’
Then came the first, and said, Sir, thy maneh has gained ten manehs.
17 ती भलादमी मानिसले त्यसलाई भने, ‘स्याबास, असल नोकर । तिमी धेरै सानो कुरामा विश्‍वासयोग्य भयौ, त्यसकारण तिमीले दसवटा सहर अधिकार गर्नेछौ ।’
And he said unto him, Well done, good servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least matter, hold thou dominion over ten cities.
18 दोस्रो नोकर आयो र भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंको सिक्‍काबाट मैले पाँच सिक्‍का कमाएँ ।’
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy maneh hath gained five manehs.
19 ती भलादमी मानिसले त्यस नोकरलाई भने, ‘तिमीले पाँचवटा सहरमा राज्य गर्नेछौ ।’
Then said he also to this man, Be thou also over five cities.
20 अनि अर्को नोकर आयो र भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंको सिक्‍का यहाँ छ, जसलाई मैले कपडाभित्र सुरक्षितसाथ राखेको थिएँ ।
And another came, saying, Master, there is thy maneh, which I have kept wrapt up in a napkin:
21 किनकि म डराएँ, किनभने तपाईं कठोर मानिस हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले जे राख्‍नुभएको छैन, त्यो कुरा लिनुहुन्छ र जे छर्नुभएको छैन, त्यही कटनी गर्नुहुन्छ ।’
for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up where thou hadst laid nothing down, and reapest where thou didst not sow.
22 ती भलादमी मानिसले त्यसलाई भने, ‘तँ दुष्‍ट नोकर, म तँलाई तेरो आफ्नै वचनले न्याय गर्नेछु । जहाँ राखेको छैन त्यहाँबाट लिन खोज्‍ने र जहाँ छरेको छैन त्यहाँबाट कटनी गर्न खोज्‍ने म कठोर मानिस हुँ भनी तँलाई थाहा थियो ।
And he said to him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow;
23 त्यसो भए, तैँले मेरो सिक्‍का किन बैङ्कमा राखिनस्, ताकि फर्की आउँदा ब्याजसहित मैले यो रकम पाउने थिएँ?’
why then gavest thou not my money to the bank, so when I came I might have required it with interest?
24 ती भलादमी मानिसले त्यहाँ उभिएका मानिसहरूलाई भने, ‘योसँग भएको सिक्‍का खोसेर जससँग दस सिक्‍का छ, त्यसलाई देओ ।’
And he said to those who stood by, Take from him the maneh, and give it to him who hath the ten manehs.
25 तिनीहरूले उसलाई भने, ‘मालिक उसँग त दस सिक्‍का छ ।’
(And they say unto him, Sir, he hath ten manehs.)
26 ‘म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, जससँग छ त्यसलाई अझ धेरै दिइने छ, तर जोसँग छैन, त्यससँग भएको पनि खोसिनेछ ।
For I say unto you, That to every one who hath, shall more be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 तर, मैले तिनीहरूमाथि शासन गरेको नचाहने मेरा यी शत्रुहरूलाई यहाँ ल्याओ र मेरो अगाडि मार’ ।”
But as for these enemies of mine, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them before me.
28 यी कुराहरू भनिसक्‍नुभएपछि, उहाँ यरूशलेमतिर जानुभयो ।
And having thus spoken, he proceeded forward, going up to Jerusalem.
29 बेथफागे र बेथानियाबाट जैतून भनिने डाँडा नजिक पुग्‍नुभएपछि उहाँले आफना दुई जना चेलालाई यसो भनेर पठाउनुभयो,
And it came to pass, as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 “नजिकैको गाउँमा जाओ । त्यहाँ पस्दै गर्दा, तिमीहरूले कोही पनि नचढेको एउटा बछेडो भेट्टाउनेछौ । त्यसलाई फुकाओ र मकहाँ ल्याओ ।
saying, Go into the opposite village; in which, as ye are at the entrance, ye will find a foal tied, on which no man hath ever yet sat: loose, and bring him.
31 यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई, ‘यसलाई किन फुकाउँदै छौ?’ भनेर सोध्यो भने यसो भन्‍नू, ‘प्रभुलाई यसको खाँचो छ’ ।”
And if any man ask you, Why ye loose it? thus shall ye say to him, That the Lord hath need of him.
32 पठाइएकाहरू गए र तिनीहरूले येशूले भन्‍नुभएजस्तै बछेडो पाए ।
Then they who were sent, going, found it just as he had described to them.
33 तिनीहरूले बछेडालाई फुकाल्दै गर्दा, त्यसका मालिकले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूले यस बछेडालाई किन फुकाउँदै छौ?”
And as they were untying the foal, the owners of it said to them, Why loose ye the foal?
34 तिनीहरूले भने, “प्रभुलाई यसको खाँचो छ ।”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई येशूकहाँ ल्याए र तिनीहरूले त्यस बछेडामाथि आफ्ना कपडाहरू राखे र त्यसमाथि येशूलाई बसाले ।
And they brought him to Jesus: and throwing their cloaks on the foal, they set Jesus thereon.
36 उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा, तिनीहरूले बाटोमा कपडा ओछ्याए ।
And as he went, they spread under him their garments on the road.
37 उहाँ जैतून डाँडाको ओरालोको नजिकै आइपुग्‍नुहुँदा, उहाँका चेलाहरूको ठुलो भिडले उहाँले गर्नुभएका शक्‍तिशाली कार्यहरू देखेको कारण आनन्दित हुँदै चर्को स्वरले परमेश्‍वरको प्रशंसा गर्न लागे ।
And when he was now approaching, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples rejoicing began to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen;
38 तिनीहरूले यसो भन्‍न लागे, “परमप्रभुको नाउँमा आउने राजा धन्यका हुन्! स्वर्गमा शान्ति र सर्वोच्‍चमा महिमा!”
saying, Blessed is the King, who cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 त्यो भिडमा भएका केही फरिसीहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भने, “गुरुज्यू, तपाईंका चेलाहरू चुप बसून् भनी हप्काउनुहोस् ।”
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said unto him, Master, reprove thy disciples.
40 येशूले जवाफ दिँदै भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिनीहरू चुप लागे भने, यी ढुङ्गाहरू नै कराउनेछन् ।”
And he replying said to them. I tell you that, should these be silent, the very stones would cry out.
41 जब येशू सहरको नजिक पुग्‍नुभयो, उहाँ त्यसलाई देखेर यसो भन्दै रुनुभयो,
And as he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it,
42 “यदि तैँले यो दिनको बारेमा थाहा पाएको भए, तँलाई शान्ति दिने कुरालाई जानेको भए! तर अहिले यी कुराहरू तेरो नजरबाट लुकाइएका छन् ।
saying, Oh that thou hadst known, even in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 किनकि तेरो लागि यस्ता दिनहरू आउनेछन्, जब तेरा शत्रुहरूले तेरो विरुद्धमा वरिपरि पर्खाल निर्माण गर्नेछन् र तँलाई घेर्नेछन् र चारैतिरबाट आक्रमण गर्नेछन् ।
For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies shall cast up a trench around thee, and encircle thee about, and straiten thee on every side,
44 तिनीहरूले तँलाई र तेरा सन्तानलाई आक्रमण गरेर लडाउनेछन्; तिनीहरूले एउटा ढुङ्गामाथि अर्को ढुङ्गा छोड्नेछैनन्, किनभने परमेश्‍वरले तँलाई बचाउनका लागि गर्नुभएका प्रयत्‍नलाई तैँले बुझिनस् ।
and will dash thee on the ground, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.
45 येशू मन्दिरभित्र छिर्नुभयो र त्यहाँ व्यापार गरिरहेका मानिसहरूलाई यसो भन्दै खेद्नुभयो,
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple;
46 “यसो लेखिएको छ, ‘मेरो घर प्रार्थनाको घर हुनेछ,’ तर तिमीहरूले त यसलाई डाँकुहरूको अड्डा बनाएका छौ ।”
saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 येशूले मन्दिरमा दिनहुँ शिक्षा सिकाउनुहुन्थ्यो । मुख्य पुजारीहरू, शास्‍त्रीहरू र धार्मिक अगुवाहरूले उहाँलाई मार्न चाहन्थे ।
And he continued daily teaching in the temple. Then the chief priests and the scribes sought to destroy him, with the heads of the people,
48 तर तिनीहरूले त्यसो गर्ने कुनै उपाय भेट्टाउन सकेनन्, किनभने मानिसहरूले उहाँको वचन ध्यानसित सुनिरहेका थिए ।
but did not discover how they could do any thing: for all the people attentively hung on his lips.
