< मत्ती 13 >

1 त्यस दिन येशू घरबाट बाहिर निस्केर जानुभयो र समुद्रको छेउमा बस्‍नुभयो ।
Later that day Jesus left the house, and sat down to teach beside the lake.
2 उहाँको वरिपरि एउटा ठुलो भिड जम्मा भयो । त्यसैले, उहाँ एउटा डुङ्गाभित्र जानुभयो र त्यहाँ बस्‍नुभयो । सबै भिड समुद्रको किनारमा उभियो ।
So many people gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down there to teach, while all the crowds stood on the beach.
3 तब येशूले दृष्‍टान्तहरूमा उनीहरूलाई धेरै कुरा भन्‍नुभयो । उहाँले यसो भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर, एक जना बिउ छर्ने मान्छे बिउ छर्न निस्क्यो ।
He explained many things to them, using stories as illustrations. “The sower went out to sow,” he began.
4 जसै उनले छरे, केही बिउहरू बाटोको छेउमा परे, अनि चराहरू आएर ती बिउलाई निलिदिए ।
“As he was sowing, some of the seeds fell on the path. The birds came and ate them up.
5 अरू बिउहरूचाहिँ ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परे, जहाँ धेरै माटो थिएन । ती तुरुन्तै उम्रे, किनकि त्यहाँ माटो गहिरो थिएन ।
Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth where they sprouted quickly.
6 तर जब चर्को घाम लाग्यो, ती डढे किनकि तिनका जरा थिएनन्, अनि ती सुकिहाले ।
The sun rose and scorched them and they withered because they had no roots.
7 अरू बिउहरू काँडाघारी माझमा परे । ती काँडाका बोटहरू बढेर आए र तिनलाई निसासिदिए ।
Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked them.
8 अरू बिउहरू असल माटोमा परे र केहीले सय गुणा, केहीले साठी गुणा र केहीले तिस गुणा अन्‍न उब्जाए ।
Still other seeds fell on good soil. They produced a harvest—some one hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what had been planted.
9 जोसँग कान छ, उसले सुनोस् ।”
Anybody who has ears should be listening!”
10 चेलाहरू आएर येशूलाई भने, “तपाईं भिडहरूसँग किन दृष्‍टान्तहरूमा बोल्नुहुन्छ?”
The disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use illustrations when you speak to the people?”
11 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूलाई स्वर्गको राज्यका रहस्यहरू बुझ्‍ने मौका दिइएको छ, तर तिनीहरूलाई यो दिइएको छैन ।
“You're privileged to have revealed to you the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but they're not given such insights,” Jesus replied.
12 किनकि जोसँग छ, उसलाई अझ धेरै दिइनेछ, अनि ऊसँग प्रशस्त हुनेछ । तर जोसँग छैन, ऊसँग भएको पनि उसबाट लिइनेछ ।
“Those who already have will have more given to them, more than enough. But those who don't have, whatever they have will be taken away from them.
13 त्यसैले, तिनीहरूसँग म दृष्‍टान्तमा बोल्दछु, किनकि तिनीहरूले देखे तापनि तिनीहरूले वास्तवमा देख्दैनन् । अनि तिनीहरूले सुने तापनि वास्तवमा तिनीहरूले सुन्दैनन्, न त तिनीहरूले बुझ्दछन् ।
That's why I speak to them in illustrations. For even though they see, they do not see; and even though they hear, they do not hear; nor do they understand.
14 तिनीहरूका निम्ति यशैया अगमवक्‍ताको अगमवाणी पुरा हुन्छ, जसले यसो भन्छन्, ‘सुनिरहेका हुँदा त तिमीहरूले सुन्छौ, तर तिमीहरूले कुनै रीतिले बुझ्दैनौ; हेरिरहेका हुँदा त तिमीहरूले हेर्छौ, तर तिमीहरूले कुनै रीतिले देख्दैनौ ।
The prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled in them: ‘Even though you hear, you won't understand, and even though you see, you won't perceive.
15 किनकि यी मानिसहरूका हृदय सुस्त भएका छन्, र तिनीहरू सुन्‍नलाई कठोर भएका छन्, र तिनीहरू फेरि फर्केलान्, र मैले तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्ने थिए भनेर तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आँखा बन्द गरेका छन् । यसैले, तिनीहरूले आफ्ना आँखाले देख्दैनन्, वा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना कानले सुन्दैनन्, वा तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हृदयले बुझ्दैनन् ।’
They have a hard-hearted attitude, they don't want to listen, and they've closed their eyes. If they didn't they might be able to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand in their minds. Then they could return to me and I would heal them.’
16 तर धन्यका हुन तिम्रा आँखा, किनकि तिनले देख्छन्; र तिम्रा कान, किनकि तिनले सुन्दछन् ।
Your eyes are blessed, for they see. Your ears are blessed too, for they hear.
17 साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि तिमीहरूले जे देखेका छौ धेरै अगमवक्‍ताहरू र धर्मी मानिसहरूले ती हेर्ने इच्छा गरे, र तिनीहरूले ती देखेनन् । तिमीहरूले जे सुनेका छौ तिनीहरूले ती सुन्‍ने इच्छा गरे, तर तिनीहरूले ती सुनेनन् ।
I'm telling you, many prophets and good people longed to see what you're seeing, but didn't see it. They longed to hear what you're hearing, but didn't hear it.
18 तब बिउ छर्नेको दृष्‍टान्त सुन ।
So listen to the story of the sower.
19 जब कसैले राज्यको वचन सुन्छ तर त्यसलाई बुझ्दैन, तब दुष्‍ट आउँछ र उसको हृदयमा जे छरिएको थियो, त्यो खोसेर लैजान्छ । योचाहिँ त्यो बिउ हो जुन बाटोको छेउमा छरिएको थियो ।
When people hear the message about the kingdom and don't understand it, the evil one comes along and rips out what was sown in them. This is what happens to the seeds sown on the path.
20 ढुङ्गेनी माटोमा छरिएको चाहिँ त्यो हो जसले वचन सुन्छ र तुरुन्तै खुसीसाथ त्यसलाई ग्रहण गर्छ ।
The seeds sown on stony ground are people who hear the message and happily accept it straight away.
21 तर ऊ आफैँमा जरा हुँदैन र केही बेरसम्म मात्र टिकिरहन्छ । तर जब वचनको कारण सतावट वा कष्‍ट आउँछ, उसले तुरुन्तै ठेस खान्छ ।
They last for a while, but because they don't have roots, when problems and troubles come, they quickly fall away.
22 काँडाघारीमा छरिएको चाहिँ त्यो हो, जसले वचन सुन्छ, तर संसारको वास्ता र धनीहरूको कपटले वचनलाई निसासिदिन्छ, अनि ऊ निष्फल हुन्छ । (aiōn g165)
The seeds sown among thorns are people who hear the message, but then life's worries and the temptation of money choke the message so that they become fruitless. (aiōn g165)
23 असल माटोमा छरिएको चाहिँ त्यो हो, जसले वचन सुन्छ र त्यसलाई बुझ्छ । त्यसले नै साँचो रूपमा फल फलाउँछ र केहीले सय गुणा, केहीले साठी गुणा, र केहीले तिस गुणा फल फलाउँछ ।”
The seeds sown on good soil are people who hear the message, and understand it, and who produce a good harvest—some one hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown.”
24 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई अर्को दृष्‍टान्त प्रस्तुत गर्नुभयो । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “स्वर्गको राज्य यस्तो मानिसजस्तो हो जसले आफ्नो जमिनमा असल बिउ छर्‍यो ।
Then he told them another illustrated story: “The kingdom of heaven is like a farmer who sowed good seeds in his field.
25 तर जब मानिसहरू सुते, उसको शत्रु आयो, र गहुँ बारीमा सामा पनि छारिदिएर गयो ।
But while his workers were sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weed seeds on top of the wheat. Then they left.
26 जब बोट देखा पर्‍यो र तिनीहरूले अन्‍न फलाउन थाले, तब सामाहरू पनि देखा परे ।
So when the wheat grew and produced ears of grain, the weeds also grew up.
27 त्यस जग्गाका मालिकका दासहरू आए र तिनलाई भने, ‘हजूर, के तपाईंको बारीमा असल बिउ मात्र छर्नुभएको थिएन र? अहिले यिनमा सामाहरू कसरी आए?’
The farmer's workers came and asked him, ‘Sir, didn't you sow good seeds in your field? Where did the weeds come from?’
28 तिनले उनीहरूलाई भने, ‘यो एउटा शत्रुले गरेको हो ।’ ती दासहरूले तिनलाई भने, ‘के हामी गएर त्यसलाई उखालेको तपाईं चाहनुहुन्छ?’
‘Some enemy has done this,’ he replied. ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’ they asked him.
29 त्यस जमिनका मालिकले भने, ‘होइन, जब तिमीहरूले सामाहरूलाई उखेल्छौ, तिमीहरूले तीसँगै गहुँलाई पनि उखेलौला ।
‘No,’ he answered, ‘as you pull up the weeds, you might uproot the wheat too.
30 कटनी गर्ने समयसम्म यी दुवैलाई सँगै हुर्कन देओ । कटनीको समयमा फसल कटनी गर्नेहरूलाई म भन्‍नेछु, “पहिले सामाहरूलाई उखेल र त्यसलाई जलाउनलाई मुठाहरूमा बाँध, तर गहुँलाई मेरो ढुकुटीमा जम्मा गर’ ।”
Let them both grow until harvest, and then at harvest-time I'll tell the reapers to first gather the weeds, tie them up into bundles and burn them, and then gather the wheat and store it in my barn.’”
31 त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई अर्को दृष्‍टान्त भन्‍नुभयो । उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “स्वर्गको राज्यचाहिँ रायोको दानाजस्तो हो जुन एउटा मानिसले लियो र आफ्नो बारीमा छर्‍यो ।
He gave them another illustration: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a farmer sowed in his field.
32 यो बिउ अरू सबै बिउभन्दा सानो हुन्छ । तर जब यो हुर्कन्छ, यो बगैँचामा भएका सबै बोटभन्दा ठुलो हुन्छ । यो एउटा रुख बन्छ, अनि आकाशका चराहरू आउँछन् र यसका हाँगाहरूमा गुँड बनाउँछन् ।”
Even though it's the tiniest of seeds it grows much bigger than other plants. In fact it grows into a tree big enough for birds to roost in its branches.”
33 त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई अर्को दृष्‍टान्त भन्‍नुभयो, “स्वर्गको राज्यचाहिँ खमिरजस्तो हो जुन एउटी स्‍त्रीले लिइन् र तिन कचौरा पिठोमा त्यो नफुलेसम्म मिसाइन् ।”
He told them another illustrated story: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman mixed with a large quantity of flour, until all the dough was raised.”
34 येशूले यी सबै कुरा भिडलाई दृष्‍टान्तहरूमा भन्‍नुभयो । अनि दृष्‍टान्तहरूमा बाहेक उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई केही पनि भन्‍नुभएन ।
Jesus explained all these things to the crowds using illustrated stories—in fact he didn't speak to them without using stories.
35 योचाहिँ अगमवक्‍ताहरूले जे भनेका थिए, ती कुरा सत्य ठहरिऊन् भनेर हुन आयो, जब उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “म मेरो मुख दृष्‍टान्तहरूमा खोल्नेछु । म यस संसारको सुरुदेखि लुकाइएका कुराहरूलाई प्रकट गर्नेछु ।”
This fulfilled the prophet's words: “I will speak using stories, and I will explain things hidden from the creation of the world.”
36 तब येशूले भिडलाई छोड्नुभयो र घरभित्र जानुभयो । उहाँका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आएर भने, “खेतका सामाहरूको बारेमा भनिएको दृष्‍टान्त हामीलाई व्याख्या गरिदिनुहोस् ।”
Then he left the crowds and went into a house. His disciples came over to him, and asked him, “Please explain to us the story about the weeds in the field.”
37 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “जसले बारीमा असल बिउ छरे उनीचाहिँ मानिसका पुत्र हुन् ।
“The one who sows the good seed is the Son of man,” Jesus explained.
38 बारीचाहिँ संसार हो; अनि असल बिउचाहिँ राज्यका पुत्रहरू हुन् । अनि सामाहरूचाहिँ दुष्‍टका छोराहरू हुन्,
“The field is the world. The good seeds are the children of the kingdom. The weed seeds are the children of the evil one.
39 र त्यो शत्रु जसले ती सामाहरू छरे, त्योचाहिँ दुष्‍ट हो । फसलको कटनी संसारको अन्त हो, र कटनी गर्नेहरूचाहिँ स्वर्गदूतहरू हुन् । (aiōn g165)
The enemy that sowed the weed seeds is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. The reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 त्यसैले, जसरी सामाहरू बटुलिन्छन् र आगोमा जलाइन्छन्, यो संसारको अन्तमा यस्तै हुनेछ । (aiōn g165)
Just as the weeds are harvested and burned so it will be at the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
41 मानिसका पुत्रले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई पठाउनेछन्, र तिनीहरूले उनको राज्यबाट पाप ल्याउने सबै थोक र पाप गर्ने सबै जनालाई बटुल्नेछन् ।
The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will gather up every sinful thing and everyone who does evil,
42 तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई आगोको भट्टीमा फालिदिनेछन्, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 तब धर्मी मानिसहरू उनीहरूका पिताको राज्यमा सूर्यझैँ चम्कनेछन् । जससँग कान छ, उसले सुनोस् ।
Then those who live right will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their father. Anybody with ears should be listening!
44 स्वर्गको राज्यचाहिँ जमिनमा लुकाइएको धनजस्तै हो । एक जना मानिसले त्यो भेट्टायो अनि त्यसलाई लुकायो । उसको आनन्दमा ऊ जान्छ, उसँग भएका सबैथोक बेच्छ, अनि उसले त्यो जमिन किन्छ ।
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. A man found it, reburied it, and then full of joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 फेरि, स्वर्गको राज्य एक जना व्यापारीले मूल्यवान् मोतीहरू खोजेजस्तै हो ।
The kingdom of heaven is also like a trader looking for good pearls.
46 जब उसले धेरै मूल्य भएको एउटा मोती भेट्टायो, ऊ गयो र उसँग भएका सबै थोक बेच्यो र त्यो किन्यो ।
When he found the most expensive pearl ever he went and sold all he had and bought it.
47 फेरि, स्वर्गको राज्य समुद्रमा फ्याँकिएको जालजस्तो हो, अनि त्यसले सबै खालका प्राणीलाई बटुल्यो ।
Once more, the kingdom of heaven is like a fishing net thrown into the sea that caught all kinds of fish.
48 जब त्यो भरियो, जालाहारीहरूले त्यसलाई समुद्रको किनारमा ताने । तब उनीहरू बसे अनि राम्रा कुराहरू भाँडाहरूमा बटुले । तर काम नलाग्‍ने चिजहरूलाई फ्याँकिदिए ।
When it was full it was dragged ashore. The good fish were put into baskets while the bad ones were thrown away.
49 संसारको अन्तमा यस्तै हुनेछ । स्वर्गदूतहरू आउनेछन् र धर्मीहरूका माझबाट दुष्‍टहरूलाई छुट्‌ट्याउनेछन् । (aiōn g165)
That's the way it will be when the end of the world comes. The angels will go out and separate the evil people from the good, (aiōn g165)
50 उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई आगोको भट्टीमा फालिदिनेछन्, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।
and throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 के तिमीहरूले यी सबै कुराहरू बुझेका छौ?” चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “बुझेका छौँ ।”
Now do you understood everything?” “Yes,” they replied.
52 तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “त्यसकारण, स्वर्गको राज्यको चेला बनेको हरेक शास्‍त्री एउटा मानिसजस्तो हो जो घरको मालिक हो, जसले भण्डारबाट नयाँ र पुराना चिजहरू निकाल्छ ।”
“Every religious teacher who's learned about the kingdom of heaven is like a house-owner who brings out from his storeroom both new and old treasures,” Jesus said.
53 येशूले यी दृष्‍टान्तहरू सक्‍नुभएपछि उहाँ त्यस ठाउँबाट जानुभयो ।
After Jesus finished telling these stories, he left.
54 तब येशू आफ्नै नगरमा प्रवेश गर्नुभयो अनि मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका सभाघरहरूमा सिकाउनुभयो । परिणामचाहिँ यस्तो भयो, कि तिनीहरू आश्‍चर्य चकित भए र भने, “यी मानिसले उनको ज्ञान र आश्‍चर्यकर्महरू कहाँबाट पाउँछन्?
He went back to his home town and taught in the synagogue there. People were amazed, and asked, “Where does he get his wisdom and miracles from?
55 के यी मानिस सिकर्मीका छोरा होइनन् र? के उनकी आमा मरियम होइनन् र? अनि उनका भाइहरू, याकूब, योसेफ, सिमोन र यहूदा होइनन् र?
Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 अनि उनका सबै बहिनी हाम्रै माझमा छैनन् र? त्यसैले, यी मानिसले यी सबै कुरा कहाँबाट पाउँछन् त?”
Don't his sisters live here among us? So where does he get all this from?”
57 तिनीहरू उहाँबाट अप्रसन्‍न भए । तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “अगमवक्‍ताको आदर नहुने भनेको उनको आफ्नै परिवार र आफ्नै देशमा मात्र हो ।”
And so they refused to believe in him. “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his homeland and in his family,” Jesus told them.
58 र तिनीहरूको अविश्‍वासको कारण उहाँले त्यहाँ धेरै आश्‍चर्यकर्महरू गर्नुभएन ।
Since they failed to trust in him, he did not do many miracles there.
