1 यसपछि छिट्टै प्रभु येशू आफ्ना बाह्र जना चेलाका साथमा वरपरका सहरहरू र गाउँहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्दै जानुभयो ।
Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2 केही स्‍त्रीहरू जो दुष्‍टात्मा र रोगहरूबाट निको भएका थिए, तिनीहरू पनि उहाँहरूसँगै थिए । तिनीहरू मरियम जसलाई मग्दलनी भनिन्थ्यो, जसबाट सातवटा भूतात्मा निकालिएका थिए ।
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 हेरोदका कारिन्दा खुजासकी पत्‍नी योअन्‍ना र सुसन्‍ना, यिनीहरू र अरूहरू आफ्ना भौतिक स्रोतहरूबाट उहाँहरूका निम्ति जुटाई दिन्थे ।
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4 अब मानिसहरूको एउटा ठुलो भिड एकसाथ भेला भएको थियो, साथै धेरै विभिन्‍न सहरबाट मानिसहरूसमेत उहाँकहाँ आइरहेका थिए । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्‍टान्त भन्‍नुभयो ।
When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 “एउटा बिउ छर्ने केही बिउहरू छर्नलाई निस्क्यो । उसले छर्दा केही बिउहरू बाटोमा परे र ती बिउहरू खुट्टाले कुल्चिए, र आकाशका चराहरूले ती खाए ।
“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 अरू बिउ ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परे र चाँडै ती बोटको रूपमा बढे र सुकिहाले, किनकि त्यो जमिन ओबानो थियो ।
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 अझै अरू बिउहरू काँढाँका बिरुवाहरूमा परे, र बिउहरू सँगसँगै बिरुवाहरू पनि बढे र बिउहरूलाई काँढे झाडीले निसासिदियो ।
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 तर केही बिउहरू असल जमिनमा परे र सय गुणा फल फलाए ।” येशूले यी कुराहरू भनिसक्‍नुभएपछि उहाँले बोलाउनुभयो, जससँग सुन्‍ने कानहरू छन् त्यसले सुनोस् ।
Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9 त्यसपछि उहाँका चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यो दृष्‍टान्तको अर्थ के हुन सक्छ भनी सोधे ।
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरका राज्यका रहस्यका कुराहरू बुझ्‍ने अवसर दिइएको छ, तर बाँकी मानिसहरूलाई दृष्‍टान्तमा सिकाइने छ । त्यसकारण ‘वास्तवमा तिनीहरूले हेरेर पनि देख्‍नेछैनन्, सुनेर पनि बुझ्‍नेछैनन् ।’
He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 अब दृष्‍टान्तको अर्थ यही होः बिउ परमेश्‍वरको वचन हो ।
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 बाटोको किनारमा परेका बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुन्छन्, तर दुष्‍ट आउँछ र तिनीहरूको हृदयमा भएका वचन खोसेर लैजान्छ ताकि तिनीहरूले विश्‍वास नगरून् र नबाँचून् ।
Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 त्यसपछि ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परेको बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुन्छन्, खुसीसाथ ग्रहण गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूको गहिराइ नभएकोले केवल एक क्षणका लागि मात्र विश्‍वास गर्छन् र जाँचको समयमा तिनीहरू पतन भएर जान्छन् ।
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14 काँडाको झाडीमा परेको बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुनेका छन्, तर जीवन जिउने क्रममा, संसारका धन सम्पत्तिको फिक्री, सुख विलासका कारण निसासिएर परिपक्‍व फल फलाउन सक्दैनन् ।
What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
15 तर असल जमिनमा परेका बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्तउ हुन्, जसले इमानदार र असल हृदयसाथ वचन सुनेर यसलाई सुरक्षितसाथ पक्री राख्छन् र धैर्यसाथ फल फलाउँछन् ।
Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16 अनि बत्ती बालेर कसैले पनि भाँडाले छोप्दैन अथवा खाटमुनि राख्दैन, बरु यसलाई उसले सामदानमा राख्छ, ताकि भित्र पस्‍ने सबैले उज्यालो देखून् ।
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17 किनभने कुनै पनि कुरालाई प्रकट हुन नसक्‍ने गरी लुकाउन सकिँदैन, न त कुनै पनि गोप्य कुरा प्रकट नै हुन नसक्‍ने र ज्योतिमा आउन नसक्‍ने हुन्छ ।
For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 त्यसैकारण, तिमीहरू कसरी सुन्छौ, त्यसमा होसियार होओ, किनभने जससँग छ त्यसलाई धेरै दिइनेछ, जससँग छैन उसले आफूसँग जे छ भनी सोचेको छ त्योसमेत उसबाट खोसिनेछ ।”
Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19 त्यसपछि येशूकी आमा र भाइहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तर भिडको कारणले गर्दा उहाँको नजिक आउन सकेनन् ।
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 र उहाँलाई यसो भनिएको थियो, “तपाईंकी आमा र भाइहरू तपाईंलाई भेट्ने इच्छा गरी बाहिर पर्खिरहेका छन् ।”
Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21 तर येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरा आमा र भाइहरू भनेका ती हुन्, जसले मेरो वचन सुन्छन् र पालना गर्छन् ।”
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 अब ती दिनहरूमा एक दिन येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “आओ, हामी तालको पल्लोपट्टि जाऔँ ।” तब उहाँहरू डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो ।
Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23 तर उहाँहरू यात्रामा हुनुहुँदा, प्रभु येशू निदाउनुभयो र त्यस तालमा धेरै ठुलो आँधीबेहरी आयो अनि तिनीहरूको डुङ्गा पानीले भरिन थाल्यो र तिनीहरू डरलाग्दो खतरामा थिए ।
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24 त्यसपछि येशूका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए र यसो भन्दै उहाँलाई ब्युँझाए, “प्रभु, प्रभु, हामी त मर्नै लाग्यौँ ।” उहाँ उठ्नुभयो, र बतासलाई हप्काउनुभयो, पानीको बेग थामियो र त्यहाँ सुनसान भयो ।
They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25 अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूको विश्‍वास कहाँ छ?” डराएर तिनीहरू अचम्मित हुँदै एक-अर्कालाई भन्दै थिए “उहाँ को हुनुहुन्छ, जसले आँधी र पानीलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ र तिनले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्छन्?”
He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 उहाँहरू गेरासेनसको इलाकामा आइपुग्‍नुभयो, जुन गालीलको पारीपट्टि पर्छ ।
Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 जब प्रभु डुङ्गाबाट पाखामा उत्रनुभयो, एउटा सहरबाट आएको एक जना मानिसले उहाँलाई भेट्यो र त्यस मानिसमा दुष्‍टात्माहरू थिए । किनभने लामो समयदेखि त्यस मानिसले कपडाहरू लगाएको थिएन र घरमा बस्दैनथ्यो, बरु चिहानहरूमा नै बस्दथियो ।
When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 जब उसले येशूलाई देख्यो, ऊ चिच्‍च्‍यायो, उहाँको सामु लड्यो र उसले उच्‍च स्वरमा भन्यो, “सर्वोच्‍च परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र येशू, तपाईंसँग मेरो के सरोकार? म बिन्ती गर्छु कि मलाई नसताउनुहोस् ।”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!”
29 किनभने येशूले त्यो मानिसबाट अशुद्ध आत्मालाई निस्केर आउने आज्ञा गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, किनकि धेरै पटक यसले उसलाई पक्रेर राखेको थियो । ऊ साङ्ग्ला र नेलले बाँधिएर पहरामा राखिएको भए तापनि उसले ती छिनालिहाल्थ्यो र दुष्‍ट आत्माद्वारा मरुभूमितिर डोर्‍याइन्थ्यो ।
For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 त्यसपछि येशूले त्यसलाई सोध्‍नुभयो, “तेरो नाउँ के हो?” र त्यसले भन्यो, “फौज ।” किनभने धेरै दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू त्यसभित्र पसेका थिए ।
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31 तिनीहरूलाई अगाध खाँदमा नपठाउनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई निरन्तर बिन्ती गरे । (Abyssos g12)
They begged him that he would not command them to go into the Abyss (Abyssos g12).
32 अब त्‍यहाँ नजिकै डाँडामा सुँगुरको एक बथान चरिरहेको थियो र दुष्‍ट आत्माहरूले उहाँलाई सुँगुरको बथानमा पठाइदिन भनी बिन्ती गरे । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्ने आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33 त्यसैले, त्यस मानिसबाट दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू निस्की सुँगुरको बथानमा पसे, र त्यो बथान भिरालोबाट हुर्रिंदै गएर समुद्रमा डुबेर मरे ।
The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 सुँगुर चराइरहेका मानिसहरूले जे भइरहेको थियो त्यो देखेपछि तिनीहरू भाग्दै सहर र वरपरका ठाउँहरूमा गए र त्यो कुरो बताए ।
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35 त्यसकारण, मानिसहरू जसले यसबारे सुने, के भएको थियो सो हेर्नलाई तिनीहरू येशूकहाँ आए र त्यस मानिस जसबाट दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू निस्केर गएका थिए, त्यसलाई कपडा लगाएर राम्रो अवस्थामा येशूको चरणमा बसिरहेको भेट्टाए र तिनीहरू डराए ।
People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 तब जुन घटना घटेको ती मानिसहरूले देखेका थिए अर्थात् कसरी दुष्‍ट आत्माहरूद्वारा नियन्‍त्रित मानिस बचाइको थियो, सो तिनीहरूले अरूहरूलाई भने ।
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37 गेरासेन र वरपरका सबै मानिसहरूले येशूलाई तिनीहरूबाट जान आग्रह गरे, किनभने तिनीहरू साह्रै डराएका थिए ।
All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38 तर दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू निस्केर गएको मानिसले येशूसँगै जानलाई उहाँलाई बिन्ती गर्‍यो, तर येशूले यसो भन्दै उसलाई पठाउनुभयो,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “आफ्नो घर फर्क र परमेश्‍वरले तिम्रो निम्ति गर्नुभएका महान् कार्यहरूको स्मरण गर ।”
“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 जब येशू फर्कनुभयो, भिडले उहाँलाई स्वागत गर्‍यो, किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले उहाँलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 हेर, याइरस नाउँ गरेका एक जना मानिस त्यहाँ आए, जो सभाघरका अगुवाहरूमध्ये एक थिए । याइरस प्रभु येशूका पाउमा घोप्‍टो परे र उहाँलाई उनको घरमा आउन बिन्ती गरे ।
Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
42 किनभने उनको एउटै मात्र बाह्र वर्षकी छोरी मर्नै लागेकी थिइन् । तर उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा मानिसहरूको भिडले उहाँलाई घचेटिरहेको थियो ।
for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43 त्यहाँ एउटी बाह्र वर्षसम्म रगत बग्‍ने समस्या भएकी स्‍त्री थिइन् । तिनले आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण पैसा डाक्टरहरूकहाँ औषधी उपचारमा खर्चे गरिसकेकी थिइन्, तर तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि निको पार्न सकेका थिएनन् ।
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44 तिनी येशूको पछिल्तिर आइन् र उहाँको कपडाको छेऊ छोइन् र तुरुन्तै तिनको रक्‍तश्राव रोकियो ।
came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई कसले छोयो?” जब सबैले यसलाई इन्कार गरे, पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु मानिसहरूको भिडले तपाईंलाई घेरेर घचेट्दै छन् ।”
Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 तर येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “कसैले मलाई छोयो, किनभने शक्‍ति मबाट बाहिर गइरहेको मैले थाहा पाएँ ।”
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47 जब त्यस स्‍त्रीले आफूले गरेको कुरा लुकाउन नसक्‍ने देखिन्, तब काँप्दै येशूको चरणमा घोप्‍टो परिन्, तिनले येशूलाई छुनुको कारण र कसरी तुरुन्तै निको भइन् सबै मानिसहररूका सामु बताइन् ।
When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “छोरी, तिम्रो विश्‍वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ । शान्तिसँग जाऊ ।”
He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 जब उहाँ अझै बोल्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, सभाघरका अगुवाको घरबाट एक जना आएर भने, “तिम्री छोरी मरिसकिन् । गुरुलाई दुःख नदेऊ ।”
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher.”
50 तर जब येशूले त्यो सुन्‍नुभयो, उहाँले उसलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “नडराऊ, विश्‍वास मात्र गर र तिनी बचाइनेछिन् ।”
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 जब उहाँ घरमा आउनुभयो, तब पत्रुस, यूहन्‍ना र याकूब, केटीको बुबा र आमाबाहेक अरू कसैलाई पनि भित्र पस्‍ने अनुमति दिनुभएन ।
When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 अनि त्यहाँ सबै मानिसहरू ती केटीका निम्ति रुँदै र विलाप गर्दै थिए । तर उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “नरोऊ, तिनी मरेकी छैनन्, तर निदाएकी मात्र छिन् ।”
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping.”
53 तर तिनीहरू केटी मरेको थाहा पाएर, येशूलाई गिल्ला गर्दै हाँसे ।
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 तर उहाँले केटीलाई हातमा लिएर यसो भनेर बोलाउनुभयो, “नानी उठ ।”
But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55 तिनको आत्मा फर्क्यो, र तिनी तुरुन्तै उठिन् । उहाँले तिनलाई केही खान दिनका लागि आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 तिनका बुबा-आमा अचम्मित भए, तर त्यहाँ जे भएको थियो त्यो कसैलाई नभन्‍नू भनी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
