मत्ती 11
1 येशूले आफ्ना बाह्र जना चेलालाई शिक्षा दिइसक्नुभएपछि तिनीहरूका सहरहरूमा सिकाउन र प्रचार गर्न उहाँ त्यहाँबाट जानुभयो ।
After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 अनि जब यूहन्नाले झ्यालखानाबाट ख्रीष्टले गर्नुभएका कामहरूको बारेमा सुने, उनले आफ्ना चेलाहरूद्वारा एउटा खबर पठाए,
Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
3 र उनलाई भने, “के आउनुहुनेवाला तपाईं नै हुनुहुन्छ, वा कोही अर्कै मानिस हुनुहुन्छ जसको हामीले प्रतीक्षा गर्नुपर्छ?”
to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
4 येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले जे देखेका र सुनेका छौ, गएर यूहन्नालाई बताइदेओ ।
Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5 दृष्टिविहीनहरूले दृष्टि पाइरहेका छन्; लङ्गडा मानिसहरू हिँडिरहेका छन्; कुष्ठरोगीहरू शुद्ध पारिएका छन्; बहिरा मानिसहरूले फेरि सुनिरहेका छन्; मरेका मानिसहरूलाई फेरि जीवनमा फर्काइएको छ, अनि खाँचोमा परेका मानिसहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुनाइँदै छ ।
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
6 अनि तिनीहरू धन्यका हुन् जसले मलाई तिनीहरूका निम्ति कुनै बाधा सम्झँदैनन् ।”
Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
7 जसै यी मानिसहरू आफ्नो बाटो लागे, येशूले भिडहरूलाई यूहन्नाको बारेमा बताउन थाल्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू उजाड-स्थानमा के हेर्न गयौ– हावाले हल्लाइरहेको निगालोलाई?
As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
8 तिमीहरू के हेर्न बाहिर गयौ– मलमलको लुगा लगाउने मानिसलाई? वास्तवमा मलमलको कपडा लगाउने व्यक्ति त राजाहरूका दरबारहरूमा बस्छ ।
Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.
9 तर तिमीहरू के हेर्न बाहिर गयौ– के अगमवक्तालाई? हो, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, अगमवक्ताभन्दा पनि महान् व्यक्तिलाई ।
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 उनी तिनै हुन् जसको बारेमा यस्तो लेखिएको छ, ‘हेर, म तिमीहरूको अगि-अगि मेरा समाचारवाहकलाई पठाउँदै छु, जसले म आउनुभन्दा अगाडि तिमीहरूका निम्ति बाटो तयार पार्नेछन् ।’
This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
11 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्त्रीबाट जन्मेकाहरूमा बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नाभन्दा महान् अरू कोही छैन । तरै पनि स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा कम महत्त्वको मानिस उनीभन्दा महान् हुन्छन् ।
Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्नाको दिनदेखि अहिलेसम्म स्वर्गको राज्यले तीव्रता भोगिरहेको छ, र उग्र मानिसहरूले यसलाई बलपूर्वक पक्रन्छन् ।
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
13 किनकि यूहन्ना नआन्जेलसम्म सबै अगमवक्ता र व्यवस्थाले अगमवाणी गरिरहेका थिए ।
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 अनि यदि तिमीहरूले एलियालाई पाउने इच्छा गरिरहेका छौ भने, आउनुपर्ने एलिया उनी नै हुन् ।
And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15 जससँग सुन्ने कान छ, त्यसले सुनोस् ।
He who has ears, let him hear.
16 यस पुस्तालाई म केसँग तुलना गरूँ? यो त बजारमा खेलिरहेका बालकहरूजस्तै छ, जो बस्दछ र एक अर्कालाई बोलाउँदछ,
To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 र भन्दछ, ‘हामीले तिमीहरूका निम्ति बाँसुरी बजायौँ, अनि तिमीहरू नाचेनौ । हामीले शोक गर्यौँ, र तिमीहरू रोएनौ ।’
‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 किनकि यूहन्ना रोटी खाँदै अथवा दाखमद्य पिउँदै आएनन्, अनि तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘त्यसलाई भूत लागेको छ ।’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
19 मानिसका पुत्र खाँदै र पिउँदै आए र तिनीहरू भन्छन्, ‘हेर, ऊ एउटा घिचुवा मान्छे हो अनि पियक्कड, कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरूको मित्र हो!’ तर बुद्धिचाहिँ तिनको कामहरूले सिद्ध हुन्छ ।”
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
20 तब येशूले ती सहरहरूलाई हकार्न थाल्नुभयो जहाँ उहाँका धेरैजसो शक्तिशाली कार्यहरू भएका थिए, किनकि तिनीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गरेका थिएनन् ।
Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
21 “धिक्कार तँलाई, ए खोराजीन! धिक्कार तँलाई, ए बेथसेदा! यदि तँमा गरिएका शक्तिशाली कार्यहरू टुरोस र सीदोनमा गरिएका भए, तिनीहरूले धेरै पहिले नै भाङ्ग्रा र खरानी लगाएर पश्चात्ताप गरिसकेका हुने थिए ।
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 न्यायको दिनमा तिमीहरूका निम्ति भन्दा टुरोस र सीदोनको निम्ति इन्साफ अझ बढी सहनीय हुनेछ ।
But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 तँ कफर्नहुम, के तँ स्वर्गमा उचालिनेछस् भनी सम्झन्छस् । होइन, तँलाई तल पातालमा झारिनेछ । किनकि यदि तँमा गरिएका शक्तिशाली कार्यहरू सदोममा गरिएका भए, त्यो आजसम्म पनि रहिरहने थियो । (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 तर म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि इन्साफको दिनमा तेरो निम्ति भन्दा सदोम मुलुकको निम्ति सजिलो हुनेछ ।”
But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
25 त्यस बेला येशूले भन्नुभयो, “पिता, म तपाईंको प्रशंसा गर्दछु । हे स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका मालिक, किनभने तपाईंले यी कुराहरू बुद्धिमानी र समझदारहरूबाट लुकाउनुभयो, र ती अनपढलाई प्रकट गराउनुभयो जो साना बालकहरूजस्ता छन् ।
At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
26 हो, पिता, किनकि तपाईंको दृष्टिमा यही नै मनपर्दो थियो ।
Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
27 मेरा पिताद्वारा सबै कुरा मलाई सुम्पिएको छ । अनि पिताबाहेक पुत्रलाई कसैले चिन्दैन, अनि पुत्र र पुत्रले प्रकट गराउन इच्छा गरेको व्यक्तिले बाहेक पितालाई कसैले चिन्दैन ।
All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28 मकहाँ आओ, तिमीहरू सबै जसले परिश्रम गर्दछौ र गह्रौँ बोझले लादिएका छौ, अनि म तिमीहरूलाई विश्राम दिनेछु ।
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 मेरो जुवा तिमीहरूमाथि लेओ र मबाट सिक, किनकि म नम्र र कोमल हृदयको छु, अनि तिमीहरूले आफ्नो आत्माको निम्ति विश्राम पाउनेछौ ।
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 किनकि मेरो जुवा सजिलो छ र मेरो बोझ हलुको छ ।”
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
