< लुका 21 >

1 येशूले माथि हेर्नुहुँदा धनी मानिसहरूलाई दानपत्रमा तिनीहरूका भेटीहरू हालेको देख्‍नुभयो ।
Looking up, Jesus saw the rich people putting their gifts into the chests for the Temple offerings.
2 उहाँले एक जना गरिब विधवाले दुई पैसा भेटी हालेको हेर्नुभयो ।
He saw, too, a widow in poor circumstances putting two farthings into them.
3 यसैले, उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिनीहरू सबैले भन्दा यस विधवाले बढी दिई ।
On this he said: “I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others;
4 यिनीहरू सबैले प्रशस्तताबाट भेटीहरू दिए । तर यस विधवाले आफू गरिब भएर पनि, ऊ बाँच्‍नका लागि जे-जति थियो सबै दिई ।”
for every one else here put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, has put in all she had to live upon.”
5 अब कसैले मन्दिरको बारेमा भने, “दानहरू र सुन्दर-सुन्दर ढुङ्गाहरूले सजाइएको हेर्नुहोस् ।” उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो,
When some of them spoke about the Temple being decorated with beautiful stones and offerings, Jesus said:
6 “जसरी यी सबै थोकहरू तिमीहरू देख्छौ, यस्ता दिनहरू आउनेछन् जुन बेला एकमाथि अर्को ढुङ्गा रहनेछैन, सबै भत्किनेछन् ।”
“As for these things that you are looking at, a time is coming when not one stone will be left upon another here, which will not be thrown down.”
7 त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्दै सोधे, “गुरुज्यू, यी कुराहरू कहिले हुनेछन्? र यी सबै घटनाहरू हुँदा के-कस्ता चिह्नहरू हुनेछन्?”
So the disciples questioned Jesus: “But, Teacher, when will this be? and what sign will there be when this is near?”
8 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “होसियार रहो ताकि तिमीहरू धोकामा नपर । धेरै जना मेरो नाउँमा यसो भन्दै आउनेछन्, ‘म उही हुँ र समय नजिक आएको छ ।’ तिमीहरू तिनीहरूका पछि नजाओ ।
And Jesus said: “See that you are not led astray; for many will take my name, and come saying ‘I am He,’ and ‘The time is close at hand.’ Do not follow them.
9 जब तिमीहरूले लडाइँ र झैझगडाहरू सुन्‍नेछौ, तब भयभीत नहोओ, यी कुराहरू पहिले हुनैपर्छ, तर अन्त्य भने तुरुन्तै हुनेछैन ।”
And, when you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified, for these things must occur first; but the end will not be at once.”
10 तब उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “राज्य-राज्यको विरुद्धमा र देश-देशको विरुद्धमा उठ्नेछन् ।
Then he said to them: “‘Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom,’
11 त्यहाँ धेरै भूकम्पहरू जानेछन्, र धेरै ठाउँमा महामारी र अनिकालहरू हुनेछन् । त्यहाँ डरलाग्दा घटनाहरू हुनेछन् र आकाशमा ठुला-ठुला चिह्नहरू हुनेछन् ।
And there will be great earthquakes, and plagues and famines in various places, and there will be terrible appearances and signs in the heavens.
12 तर यी सबै कुरा हुन अगाडि, तिनीहरूका हात तिमीहरूमाथि पर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सताउनेछन्, सभाघरमा सुम्पिदिनेछन् र झ्यालखानामा हाल्नेछन्, तिमीहरूलाई मेरो नाउँको कारण राजाहरू र हाकिमहरूका अगाडि ल्याउनेछन् ।
Before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you, and they will betray you to Synagogues and put you in prison, when you will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my Name.
13 यसले तिमीहरूको गवाहीका लागि अवसरतिर डोर्‍याउनेछ ।
Then will be your opportunity of witnessing for me.
14 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरूले बचाउको लागि के भन्‍ने भनेर अगिबाटै हृदयमा नसोच ।
Make up your minds, therefore, not to prepare your defence;
15 तिमीहरूका विरोधीहरूले सबै कुराको खण्डन गर्न नसकून् भनेर म तिमीहरूलाई वचन र बुद्धि दिनेछु ।
for I will myself give you words, and a wisdom which all your opponents together will be unable to resist or defy.
16 तर तिमीहरूलाई तिमीहरूका आमा बुबा र दाजुभाइहरू, नातेदारहरू र साथीभाइहरूले सुम्पिदिनेछन् र तिमीहरूमध्ये केही मृत्युका लागि सुम्पिनेछौ ।
You will be betrayed even by your parents and brothers and sisters and relations and friends, and they will cause some of you to be put to death,
17 मेरो नाउँको खातिर सबैले तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गर्नेछन् ।
and you will be hated by every one on account of my Name.
18 तर तिमीहरूको शिरको एउटै कपाल पनि नष्‍ट हुनेछैन ।
Yet not a single hair of your heads shall be lost!
19 तिमीहरूको सहनशीलतामा तिमीहरूले प्राण प्राप्‍त गर्नेछौ ।
By your endurance you shall win yourselves Life.
20 जब तिमीहरूले यरूशलेमलाई सेनाले घेरेको देख्‍नेछौ, तब त्यसको विनाश नजिकै छ भनी जान ।
As soon, however, as you see Jerusalem surrounded by armed camps, then you may know that the hour of her desecration is at hand.
21 तब यहूदियामा हुनेहरू पहाडहरूतिर भागून् र जो सहरको बिचमा छन् तिनीहरू सहर बाहिर भागून्, र बाहिर हुनेहरू सहरभित्र नपसून् ।
Then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains, those who are in Jerusalem must leave at once, and those who are in the country places must not go into it.
22 यी दिनहरू बदला लिने दिनहरू हुनेछन्, यसैले लेखिएका सबै कुराहरू पुरा हुनेछन् ।
For these are to be the Days of Vengeance, when all that Scripture says will be fulfilled.
23 हाय ती दिनमा गर्भवती र दूध चुसाउने स्‍त्रीहरू! त्यस देशमाथि महासङ्कष्‍ट आउनेछ, र ती मानिसहरूमाथि क्रोध आइपर्नेछ ।
Alas for the women that are with child, and for those that are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great suffering in the land, and anger against this people.
24 तिनीहरू तरवारले मारिनेछन् र सबै देशहरूमा तिनीहरू कैदी भएर जानेछन्, र गैरयहूदीहरूको समय पुरा नभएसम्म गैरयहूदीहरूले यरूशलेम नै कैदी बनाएर राख्‍नेछन् ।
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be taken prisoners to every land, and ‘Jerusalem will be under the heel of the Gentiles,’ until their day is over — as it shall be.
25 सूर्य, चन्द्रमा र ताराहरूमा चिह्नहरू देखा पर्नेछन् । अनि समुद्रका गर्जनहरू र छालहरूबाट पृथ्वीमा भएका राष्‍ट्रहरू कष्‍टमा पर्नेछन् ।
There will be signs, too, in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth despair among the nations, in their dismay at the roar of the sea and the surge.
26 संसारमा आइपर्न लागेका घटनाहरूका आशङ्काले मानिसहरू मुर्छित हुनेछन्, किनकि आकाशका शक्‍तिहरू डग्मगाउनेछन् ।
Men’s hearts will fail them through dread of what is coming upon the world; for ‘the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.’
27 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले मानिसका पुत्रलाई ठुलो शक्‍ति र महामहिमाका साथ बादलमा आउँदै गरेको देख्‍नेछन् ।
Then will be seen the ‘Son of Man coming in a cloud’ with power and great glory.
28 जब यी कुरा हुन आउनेछन्, उठ र आफ्ना शिरहरू ठाडो पारेर हेर, तिमीहरूको उद्धारको दिन नजिकै छ ।”
And, when these things begin to occur, look upwards and lift your heads, for your deliverance will be at hand.”
29 येशूले उनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्‍टान्‍त भन्‍नुभयो, “नेभाराको रुखलाई हेर र अरू सबै रुखहरूलाई पनि ।
Then he taught them a lesson thus — “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 जब तिनहरूले पालुवा फेरेको तिमीहरूले देख्छौ, तब गृष्म ऋतु नजिकै छ भनी तिमीहरू आफैँले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।
As soon as they shoot, you know, as you look at them, without being told, that summer is near.
31 त्यसैले पनि, जब तिमीले यी थोकहरू भएको देख्‍नेछौ, परमेश्‍वरको राज्य नजिकै छ भन्‍ने कुरा तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउनेछौ ।
And so may you, as soon as you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.
32 तिमीहरूलाई म साँचो भन्दछु, यी सब कुराहरू पुरा नभइन्जेलसम्म यो पुस्ता बितेर जानेछैन ।
I tell you that even the present generation will not pass away till all has taken place.
33 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी टलेर जानेछ, तर मेरा वचनहरू कहिल्यै टल्नेछैनन् ।
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 तर तिमीहरू आफैँ होसियार रहो । त्यसकारण तिमीहरूको हृदय विलास, मतवालापान र जीवनको चिन्ताले नभरियोस् । नत्रभने, त्यो दिन तिमीहरूमाथि अचानक आइपर्ला ।
Be on your guard lest your minds should ever be dulled by debauches or drunkenness or the anxieties of life, and lest ‘That Day’ should come suddenly upon you, like a snare.
35 यसरी नै सारा पृथ्वी भरि जिउने हरेकमाथि त्यो पासोझैँ आइपर्नेछ ।
For come it will upon all who are living upon the face of the whole earth.
36 तर हर समय सतर्क रहो, र हुन आउने सम्पूर्ण कुराहरूबाट उम्कनलाई बलियो हुन सक र मानिसका पुत्रका अगाडि खडा हुनलाई प्रार्थना गर्दै रहो ।”
Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.”
37 दिउँसोको समयमा उहाँले मन्दिरमा सिकाउनुहुन्थ्यो र साँझमा उहाँ बाहिर जानुहुन्थ्यो, र डाँडामा रात बिताउनुहुन्थ्यो जसलाई जैतून भनिन्छ ।
During the days, Jesus continued to teach in the Temple Courts, but he went out and spent the nights on the hill called the ‘Mount of Olives.’
38 सबै मानिसहरू उहाँका कुरा सुन्‍न बिहानै मन्दिरमा आउँथे ।
And all the people would get up early in the morning and come to listen to him in the Temple Courts.
