मत्ती 10
1 येशूले आफ्ना बाह्र जना चेलालाई एकै ठाउँमा बोलाउनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई अशुद्ध आत्माहरू धपाउने अधिकार दिनुभयो अनि हर प्रकारका रोग र बिमारीहरूलाई निको पार्ने अधिकार पनि दिनुभयो ।
He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
2 यी बाह्र जना प्रेरितका नाम यस प्रकार छ । पहिलो, सिमोन (जसलाई उहाँले पत्रुस पनि भनेर बोलाउनुहुन्थ्यो), र तिनका भाइ अन्द्रियास; जब्दियाका छोरा याकूब, र तिनका भाइ यूहन्ना;
[Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
3 फिलिप र बारथोलोमाइ; थोमा र कर उठाउने मत्ती, अल्फयसका छोरा याकूब र थेदियस;
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
4 सिमोन कनानी र यहूदा इस्करियोत, जसले येशूलाई पक्राइदिने थियो ।
Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
5 यी बाह्रै जनालाई येशूले बाहिर पठाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई निर्देशन दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “गैरयहूदीहरू बस्ने कुनै पनि ठाउँमा नजाओ, र सामरीहरूको कुनै पनि सहरमा प्रवेश नगर ।”
When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
6 यसको सट्टा, इस्राएलको घरानाको हराएको भेडाकहाँ जाओ ।
Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
7 अनि जसै तिमीहरू जान्छौ, ‘स्वर्गको राज्य नजिकै आइसकेको छ’ भनी प्रचार गर ।
When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
8 रोगीहरूलाई निको पार, मरेकाहरूलाई जीवित बनाओ, कुष्ठरोगीहरूलाई शुद्ध पार र भूतात्माहरूलाई धपाओ । तिमीहरूले सित्तैँमा पाएका छौ, सित्तैँमा देओ ।
Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
9 तिमीहरूका थैलीमा कुनै पनि सुन, चाँदी वा पित्तल नबोक ।
Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
10 तिमीहरूका यात्राको निम्ति झोला वा फाल्तु दौरा वा जुत्ता वा लौरो नबोक, किनकि खेतालाले आफ्नो भोजन पाउनुपर्छ ।
11 तिमीहरू जुनसुकै सहर वा गाउँमा प्रवेश गर्छौ, त्यहाँ को योग्यको छ भनी पत्ता लगाओ र नगइन्जेलसम्म तिमीहरू त्यहीँ बस ।
In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
12 जब तिमीहरू घरमा पस्छौ, तब त्यसलाई अभिवादन गर ।
13 यदि त्यो घर योग्यको छ भने, तिमीहरूको शान्ति त्यसमाथि आओस् । तर यदि त्यो योग्यको छैन भने, तिमीहरूका शान्ति तिमीहरूकहाँ नै फर्केर आओस् ।
If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
14 जसले तिमीहरूलाई ग्रहण गर्दैन वा तिमीहरूका वचन सुन्दैन, तिमीहरू त्यस सहर वा गाउँबाट निस्केर जाँदा, तिमीहरूका खुट्टाबाट धुलो टकटक्याइदेओ ।
If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
15 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, न्यायको दिनमा त्यस सहरको भन्दा सदोम र गमोराको इन्साफ बढी सहनीय हुन्छ ।
Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
16 हेर, म तिमीहरूलाई ब्वाँसाहरूका बिचमा भेडाझैँ पठाउँदै छु । यसकारण, सर्पझैँ चनाखो र ढुकुरझैँ सोझो होओ ।
“Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
17 मानिसहरूदेखि होसियार बस! तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई परिषद्हरूमा सुम्पिदिनेछन् र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना सभाघरहरूमा तिमीहरूलाई कोर्रा लगाउनेछन् ।
Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
18 अनि शासकहरू र राजाहरू र अन्यजातिहरूका निम्ति गवाहीको रूपमा मेरो खातिर तिमीहरू तिनीहरूका सामु ल्याइनेछौ ।
[And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
19 जब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सुम्पिदिनेछन्, तब तिमीहरूले कसरी वा के बोल्ने भन्ने विषयमा चिन्ता नगर, किनकि तिमीहरूलाई बोल्नुपर्ने कुरा सोही घडी दिइनेछ ।
When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
20 किनकि बोल्ने तिमीहरू होइनौ, तर तिमीहरूमा बोल्नुहुने तिमीहरूका पिताका आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ ।
It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
21 दाजुले भाइलाई मृत्युको निम्ति पक्राइदिनेछ, र बुबाले आफ्नो छोरालाई । छोराछोरीहरू आफ्ना बुबा-आमाका विरुद्धमा उठ्नेछन् र मृत्युका निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई सुम्पिदिनेछन् ।
[You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
22 मेरो नाउँको खतिर तिमीहरू सबैबाट घृणित हुनेछौ । तर जसले अन्तिम घडीसम्म सहन्छ, त्यस व्यक्तिको उद्धार हुनेछ ।
Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
23 जब तिनीहरूले यस सहरमा तिमीहरूलाई सताउँछन्, अर्को सहरमा भाग, किनकि साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, मानिसका पुत्र नआउञ्जेलसम्म तिमीहरू इस्राएलका सहरहरू पनि घुमिसकेका हुनेछैनौ ।
When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
24 चेला आफ्नो गुरुभन्दा श्रेष्ठ हुँदैन, न त नोकर आफ्नो मालिकभन्दा ठुलो हुन्छ ।
A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
25 चेला आफ्नो गुरु र नोकर आफ्नो मालिकजस्तो हुनु नै उसको निम्ति पर्याप्त हुन्छ । यदि तिनीहरूले घरका मालिकलाई नै बालजिबुल भनेका छन् भने, तिनीहरूले उनका घरानालाई झन् कति बढी बदनाम गर्लान्!
You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
26 त्यसकारण, तिनीहरूसँग नडराओ, किनकि कुनै कुरा पनि ढाकिएको छैन जुन प्रकट हुनेछैन, र कुनै कुरा पनि लुकाइएको छैन जुन थाहा हुनेछैन ।
“Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
27 जे म तिमीहरूलाई अँध्यारोमा भन्दछु, त्यो उज्यालोमा भनिदेओ र जे तिमीहरूले आफ्नो कानमा मधुर रूपमा सुन्छौ, त्यो घरको धुरीबाट घोषणा गर ।
[So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
28 तिनीहरूसँग नडराओ जसले शरीरलाई मार्दछन्, तर आत्मालाई मार्न सक्दैनन् । बरु, आत्मा र शरीर दुवैलाई नरकमा नष्ट गर्न सक्नुहुनेसँग डराओ । (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 के सानो सिक्कामा दुईवटा भङ्गेरा बिक्दैनन् र? तापनि तिमीहरूका पिताको इच्छाविना तीमध्ये एउटा पनि भुइँमा खस्दैन ।
[Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
30 तर तिमीहरूका शिरका केशहरू पनि गन्ती भएका छन् ।
[He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
31 नडराओ । तिमीहरू धेरै भङ्गेराभन्दा बढी मूल्यवान् छौ ।
[God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
32 यसकारण, जसले मलाई मानिसहरूका सामुन्ने ग्रहण गर्दछ, म पनि उसलाई स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने मेरा पिताको सामु ग्रहण गर्नेछु ।
If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
33 तर जसले मानिसहरूका सामुन्ने मलाई इन्कार गर्दछ, म पनि उसलाई स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने मेरा पिताको सामु इन्कार गर्नेछु ।
But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
34 म पृथ्वीमा शान्ति ल्याउन आएँ भनी विचार नगर । म शान्ति ल्याउन होइन, तर तरवार चलाउन आएँ ।
“Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
35 किनकि म मानिसलाई उसको पिताको विरुद्ध र छोरीलाई उसकी आमाको विरुद्ध र बुहारीलाई उसकी सासूको विरुद्ध गराउन आएँ ।
Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
36 मानिसका शत्रुहरू उसको आफ्नै घरानाभित्रका हुनेछन् ।
[This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
37 जसले मलाई भन्दा आफ्नो बुबा वा आमालाई प्रेम गर्छ, त्यो मेरो निम्ति योग्यको हुँदैन । र जसले आफ्नो छोरा वा छोरीलाई मलाई भन्दा बढी प्रेम गर्छ, ऊ मेरो निम्ति योग्यको हुँदैन ।
People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
38 जसले आफ्नो क्रुस उठाएर मेरो पछि लाग्दैन, ऊ मेरो निम्ति योग्यको हुँदैन ।
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
39 जसले आफ्नो जीवन भेट्टाउँछ, उसले त्यो गुमाउनेछ । तर जसले मेरो खतिर आफ्नो जीवन गुमाउँछ, उसले जीवन पाउनेछ ।
People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
40 जसले तिमीहरूलाई स्वागत गर्दछ, उसले मलाई स्वागत गर्दछ र जसले मलाई स्वागत गर्दछ, उसले मलाई पठाउनुहुनेलाई पनि स्वागत गर्दछ ।
“[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
41 जसले अगमवक्तालाई तिनी अगमवक्ता भएको कारणले स्वागत गर्दछ, उसले अगमवक्ताको इनाम पाउनेछ । अनि जसले धर्मी मानिसलाई तिनी धर्मी भएको कारणले स्वागत गर्दछ, उसले धर्मी मानिसको इनाम पाउनेछ ।
Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
42 जसले यी सानाहरूमध्ये कसैलाई चेला भएको कारणले एक कचौरा चिसो पानी मात्र पनि पिउन देला, साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, उसले कुनै रीतिले आफ्नो इनाम गुमाउनेछैन् ।
[Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
