< लुका 7 >

1 सुनिरहेका मानिसहरूलाई सबै कुरा भनेर सक्‍नुभएपछि येशू कफर्नहुममा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो ।
After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 एउटा कप्‍तानको दास जो उनका लागि अति नै महत्त्वपूर्ण थियो, ऊ साह्रै बिरामी भएर मर्नै आँटेको थियो ।
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 तर उनले येशूको बारेमा सुनेको हुनाले कप्‍तानले यहूदीहरूका धर्म-गुरुहरूलाई येशूकहाँ गएर उहाँ आएर आफ्नो दासलाई मर्नदेखि बचाइ दिनुहोस् भनी पठायो ।
And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
4 जब तिनीहरू येशूको नजिक आए, तब तिनीहरूले उहाँसँग यसो भन्दै बिन्ती गरे, तिनी योग्यका छन् यो तिनका निम्ति तपाईंले गरिदिनुहोस् ।
And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;
5 किनकि उनले हाम्रा जातिहरूलाई प्रेम गर्छन् र उनी तिनै नै हुन् जसले हाम्रा लागि सभाघर पनि निर्माण गरिदिएका छन् ।”
for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
6 त्यसैले, येशू तिनीहरूसँगै सरासर बाटो लाग्‍नुभयो । तर उहाँ घरबाट धेरै टाढा नहुँदै कप्‍तानले साथीहरू पठाएर उहाँलाई यसो भन्‍न लगाए, “प्रभु तपाईंले आफैँलाई दुःख नदिनुहोस्, किनकि तपाईं मेरो घरभित्र प्रवेश गर्न योग्यको छैनँ ।
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:
7 यही कारणले मैले आफैँलाई तपाईंकहाँ आउने प्रर्याप्‍त योग्यको ठानिनँ, तर वचन बोली दिनुहोस् र मेरो दास निको हुनेछ ।
wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 किनकि म पनि एउटा अधिकार पाएको मानिस हुँ र मेरोमुनि सिपाहीहरू छन् । मैले एउटलाई जा भन्छु र त्यो जान्छ र अर्कोलाई आइज भन्छु र त्यो आउँछ र मेरो दासलाई ‘यसो गर भन्छु, ‘त्यसले त्यो गर्छ ।”
For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 जब येशूले त्यो सुन्‍नुभयो, उहाँ अचम्मित हुनुभयो र भिडतिर फर्केर उनलाई देखाउँदै भन्‍नुभयो, “म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि इस्राएलमा पनि मैले कसैमा यस्तो विश्‍वास भेट्टाएको छैन ।”
And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 तब ती पठाइएका मानिसहरू घरमा फर्केर आए र दासलाई स्वस्थ अवस्थामा भेट्टाए ।
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
11 त्यसको केही समयपछि येशू नाइन भन्‍ने सहरमा यात्रा गरिरहनुभएको थियो । मानिसहरूको एउटा ठुलो भिडसँगै उहाँका चेलाहरू पनि उहाँसँगै थिए ।
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 जब उहाँ सहरको मूल ढोकानजिक पुग्‍नुभयो, त्यहाँ एउटा मृत मानिसलाई बोकेर ल्याइएको थियो । त्यो उसकी आमाको एक मात्र छोरो थियो । तिनी एउटी विधवा थिइन् र सहरबाट आएको एउटा भिड तिनीसँगै थियो ।
Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 तिनलाई देखेर प्रभु तिनीप्रति अति नै दयाले भरिनुभयो र तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “नरोऊ ।”
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 तब उहाँ अगाडि आउनुभयो र मृतकलाई छुनुभयो र शरीरलाई बोक्‍नेहरू टक्‍क अडिए । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “जवान मानिस, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, उठ ।”
And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 मृत मानिस उठ्यो र बोल्न थाल्यो । तब येशूले उसलाई उसकी आमालाई सुम्पनुभयो ।
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 तब तिनीहरू सबै डराए । तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै परमेश्‍वरको प्रशंसा गरिरहे, “हाम्रा बिचमा एउटा महान् अगमवक्‍ता खडा भएका छन् र परमेश्‍वरले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई हेर्नुभएको छ ।”
And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17 येशूले गर्नुभएका यस कार्यको खबर सारा यहूदियाभरि र सबै छिमेकी इलाकाहरूमा चारैतिर फैलियो ।
And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the region round about.
18 यूहन्‍नाका चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यी सबै कुराहरूको बारेमा बताइदिए ।
And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
19 तब यूहन्‍नाले आफ्ना दुई जना चेलाहरूलाई बोलाएर प्रभुकहाँ यसो भनी पठाए, “के हामीले खोजी राखेको आउनेवाला व्यक्‍ति तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ वा अर्को कुनै छ?
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
20 जब तिनीहरू येशूको नजिक गए, तब तिनीहरूले यसो भने, बप्‍तिस्‍मा-दिने यूहन्‍नाले हामीलाई तपाईंकहाँ यसो भनी पठाए, “के हामीले खोजी राखेको आउनेवाला व्यक्‍ति तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ वा अर्को कुनै छ?”
And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
21 त्यस घडीमा उहाँले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका रोग, दुःखकष्‍ट र दुष्‍टात्माबाट निको पार्नुभयो र उहाँले धेरै दृष्‍टिविहीन मानिसहरूलाई देख्‍न सक्‍ने क्षमता दिनुभयो ।
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
22 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिएर भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरू आफ्नो बाटो लागिसकेपछि तिमीहरूले जे सुनेका र देखेका छौ, सो यूहन्‍नालाई बताइदेओ । दृष्‍टिविहीनहरूले दृष्‍टि पाइराखेका छन्, लङ्गडाहरू हिँडिराखेका छन्, कुष्‍ठरोगीहरू शुद्ध भइराखेका छन्, कान नसुन्‍नेहरूले सुनिराखेका छन्, मृतकहरू जीवित भइराखेका छन् र आवश्यकतामा परेका मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुनाइएको छ ।
And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
23 मेरो क्रियाकलापको कारणले मलाई विश्‍वास गर्न नछोड्ने त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो ।
And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
24 यूहन्‍नाका समाचार वाहकहरू गइसकेपछि येशूले भिडहरूलाई यूहन्‍नाको बारेमा बताउन थाल्नुभयो, “तिमी उजाड-स्थानमा के हेर्नलाई गयौ, के बतासले हल्लाइराखेको निगालोलाई?
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
25 तर के हेर्नलाई तिमी गयौ, मलमलको कपडा लगाएको एउटा मानिसलाई? हेर, राम्रा सुन्दर कपडा लगाएका मानिसहरू राजाका दरबारमा भोगविलाससाथ जिउँछन् ।
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 तर के हेर्नलाई तिमीहरू बाहिर गयौ, एउटा अगमवक्‍तालाई? हो, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, र एउटा अगमवक्‍ताभन्दा पनि महान् यहाँ छ ।
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 यो जसको बारेमा लेखिएको छ, हेर, म मेरा सन्‍देशवाहकलाई तिम्रो अगि-अगि पठाउँदै छु ।
This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्‍त्रीहरूबाट जन्मेकाहरूमध्येमा, बप्‍तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्‍नाभन्दा महान् कोही छैन, तापनि परमेश्‍वरको राज्यमा सबभन्दा कम महत्त्‍वको मानिस पनि उनीभन्दा महान् हुन्छ ।”
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 जब सबै मानिसहरूले यो सुने, तब कर उठाउनेहरूसमेत, तिनीहरूले यो घोषणा गरे कि परमेश्‍वर धर्मी हुनुहुन्छ, जसले बप्‍तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्‍नासँगै बप्‍तिस्‍मा लिएका थिए ।
And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 तर फरिसीहरू र यहूदीहरूका व्यवस्थाका पण्डितहरू, जसले उनीबाट बप्‍तिस्‍मा लिएका थिएनन्, तिनीहरू आफैँले आफ्ना निम्ति परमेश्‍वरको बुद्धिलाई इन्कार गरे ।
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
31 यस पुस्ताका मानिसहरूलाई मैले केसित तुलना गरूँ? तिनीहरू केजस्ता छन्?
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 तिनीहरू बजार क्षेत्रमा खेलिरहने बालबालिकाहरूजस्ता छन्, जो बस्दछन् र एक अर्कोलाई यसो भन्दै बोलाउँछन्, “हामीले तिमीहरूका लागि बाँसुरी बजायौँ, तर तिमीहरू नाचेनौ । हामीले विलाप गर्‍यौँ, तर तिमीहरू रोएनौ ।”
They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
33 किनकि बप्‍तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्‍ना न रोटी खाँदै आए न त दाखमद्य नै पिउदै आए र पनि तिमीहरू भन्छौ कि उसलाई भूत लागेको छ ।
For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
34 मानिसका पुत्र खाँदै र पिउँदै आए र तिमीहरू भन्छौ, “हेर, ऊ त एउटा घिचुवा र पियक्‍कड मानिस, कर उठाउने र पापीहरूका मित्र हो ।”
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 तर बुद्धि तिनका सबै सन्तानहरूद्वारा प्रमाणित हुन्छ ।”
And wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 अहिले एक जना फरिसीले येशूलाई ऊसँग भोजन गर्नका लागि अनुरोध गरिरहेको थियो । त्यसपछि येशू फरिसीको घरमा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो, भोजन खानलाई टेबुलमा गएर बस्‍नुभयो ।
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 हेर, त्यस सहरमा एउटी स्‍त्री थिइन् जो पापी थिइन्, तिनले पत्ता लगाइन् कि उहाँ फरिसीको घरमा बस्‍नुभएको छ र तिनले सिङ्गमरमरको बोतलमा अत्तर ल्याइन् ।
And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
38 तिनी उहाँका पाउको नजिक पछाडिपट्टि उभिइन् र रोइन् । तब तिनले उहाँको पाउ आफ्ना आँसुले भिजाउन थालिन् र टाउकाको कपालले उहाँका पाउ पुछिन्, उहाँका पाउमा म्वाइ खाइन् र पाउमा अत्तर घसिन् ।
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 जब येशूलाई बोलाउने फरिसीले यो देख्यो, तब उसले आफूले विचार गर्दै भन्यो, “यदि यी मानिस एउटा अगमवक्‍ता भएको भए, तब उनले जान्‍ने थिए कि को र कस्ती प्रकारकी स्‍त्रीले उहाँलाई छोइरहेकी छे र त्यो एउटी पापी स्‍त्री हो भनेर ।”
Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
40 येशूले जवाफ दिएर उसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “सिमोन मैले तिमीलाई केही भन्‍नु छ ।” उसले भन्यो, “गुरुज्यू, भन्‍नुहोस् ।”
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
41 येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “दुई जना मानिसले एक जना साहुबाट ऋण लिएका थिए । एउटाले पाँच सय दिनार ऋण, र अर्कोले पचास दिनार ऋण लिएको रहेछ ।
A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
42 तिनीहरूसँग तिर्ने नभएकोले साहुले ती दुवै जनालाई माफ गरिदिए । त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूमध्ये कुनचाहिँले उनलाई बढी प्रेम गर्नेछ?”
When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
43 सिमोनले उहाँलाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “म विचार गर्छु कि जसलाई उनले बढी माफ गरे । येशूले उसलाई भन्‍नुभयो तिमीले ठिकसित न्याय गर्‍यौ ।”
Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 येशू स्‍त्रीतिर फर्केर सिमोनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमी यो स्‍त्रीलाई देख्दछौ । म तिम्रो घरभित्र प्रवेश गरेँ । तिमीले मेरो पाउ धुनलाई पानीसम्म दिएनौँ, तर तिनले त आफ्नो आँसुले मेरा पाउ भिजाइन्, र कपालले मेरा पाउ पुछिन् ।
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 तिमीले मलाई म्वाइँ खाएनौ, तर तिनले म यहाँभित्र पसेको समयदेखि मेरा पाउमा म्वाइँ खान छोडेकी छैनन् ।
Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 तिमीले मेरो शिर तेलले अभिषेक गरेनौ, तर तिनले मेरा पाउमा अत्तर घसिन् ।
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 यो घटनाको कारणले म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि जसका धेरै पाप थिए र बढी क्षमा गरिएको छ, तिनले धेरै प्रेम गरेकी छन् । तर जसलाई थोरै मात्र क्षमा गरिएको छ, उसले थोरै नै मात्र प्रेम गर्छ ।”
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
48 तब उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिम्रा पापहरू क्षमा भएका छन् ।”
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 त्यहाँ एकसाथ बसिरहेकाहरूले एक-अर्कामा भन्‍न थाले, ‘पाप क्षमा गर्ने यी को हुन् र?‘
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50 तब येशूले स्‍त्रीलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिम्रो विश्‍वासले तिमीलाई बचाएको छ, शान्तिसँग जाऊ ।”
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
