मत्ती 16
1 फरिसीहरू र शास्त्रीहरू आए र उनीहरूलाई आकाशबाट चिन्ह देखाउन माग गर्दै उहाँको परीक्षा गरे ।
Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and, to test Jesus, requested him to show them some sign from the heavens.
2 तर उहाँले उत्तर दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “जब साँझ हुन्छ, तिमीहरू भन्छौ, ‘मौसम सफा हुनेछ, किनकि आकाश रातो छ ।’
But Jesus answered: “In the evening you say ‘It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.’
3 र बिहान तिमीहरू भन्छौ, ‘आज मौसम नराम्रो हुनेछ, किनकि आकाश रातो र बादलले ढाकिएको छ ।’ आकाशको अवस्था हेरेर कसरी अर्थ लगाउने भनेर तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, तर तिमीहरूले समयका चिन्हहरूको अर्थ लगाउन सक्दैनौ ।
But in the morning you say ‘To-day it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.’ You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times!
4 एउटा दुष्ट र व्यभिचारी पुस्ताले चिन्हको खोजी गर्छ, तर योनाको चिन्हबाहेक अरू कुनै चिन्ह त्यसलाई दिइनेछैन ।” त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई छोड्नुभयो र त्यहाँबाट टाढा जानुभयो ।
A wicked and unfaithful generation is asking for a sign, but no sign shall be given it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and went away.
5 चेलाहरू अर्को छेउमा आए, तर उनीहरूले साथमा रोटी ल्याउन बिर्से ।
Now the disciples had crossed to the opposite shore, and had forgotten to take any bread.
6 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ध्यान देओ र फरिसीहरू र सदुकीहरूको खमिरबाट सावधान रहो ।”
Presently Jesus said to them: “Take care and be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 चेलाहरूले एक आपसमा कुरा गर्दै यसो भन्न थाले, “हामीले रोटी नल्याएको कारण उहाँले यसो भन्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।”
But the disciples began talking among themselves about their having brought no bread.
8 येशूले यो कुरा थाहा पाउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “अल्प-विश्वासीहरू हो, आपसमा किन कुरा गर्छौ र तिमीहरूले रोटी नल्याएका कारण मैले यस्तो भनेँ भनेर भन्दछौ?
On noticing this, Jesus said: “Why are you talking among yourselves about your being short of bread, O men of little faith?
9 पाँच हजार जनाको निम्ति पाँचवटा रोटी र तिमीहरूले कति टोकरी बटुलेको कुरा के तिमीहरूलाई अझै सम्झना छैन वा तिमीहरूले बुझेका छैनौ?
Do not you yet see, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took away?
10 अथवा चार हजार जनाको निम्ति सातवटा रोटी र तिमीहरूले कति टोकरी उठायौ?
Nor yet the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you took away?
11 मैले ती रोटीहरूको विषयमा बोलिरहेको थिइनँ भन्ने कुरा तिमीहरू कसरी बुझ्दैनौ? ध्यान देओ र फरिसीहरू र सदुकीहरूको खमिरबाट सावधान रहो ।”
How is it that you do not see that I was not speaking about bread? Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
12 त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई रोटीको खमिरबाट होइन, तर फरिसीहरू र सदुकीहरूको शिक्षाबाट सावधान रहो भनेर भन्नुभएको रहेछ भनी तिनीहरूले बुझे ।
Then they understood that he had told them to be on their guard, not against the leaven of bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 जब येशू कैसरिया फिलिप्पीको इलाकाहरूमा आइपुग्नुभयो, उहाँले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई यसो भन्दै सोध्नुभयो, “मानिसका पुत्र को हो भनी मानिसहरूले भन्छन्?”
On coming into the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples this question — “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 उनीहरूले भने, “कोही भन्छन् बप्तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्ना, कोहीले एलिया, र अरूले यर्मिया वा अगमवक्ताहरूमध्ये एक हुन् भनेर भन्दछन् ।”
“Some say John the Baptist,” they answered, “Others, however, say that he is Elijah, while others again say Jeremiah, or one of the Prophets.”
15 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तर म को हुँ भनेर तिमीहरू भन्छौ?”
“But you,” he said, “who do you say that I am?”
16 सिमोन पत्रुसले उत्तर दिँदै भने, “तपाईं जीवित परमेश्वरका पुत्र ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।”
And to this Simon Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
17 येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो र उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “योनाका छोरा सिमोन तिमी धन्यका हौ, किनकि शरीर र रगतले यो कुरा तिमीलाई प्रकट गरेको होइन, तर स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने मेरा पिताले प्रकट गर्नुभएको हो ।
“Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah,” Jesus replied. “For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in Heaven.
18 म तिमीलाई यो पनि भन्दछु, कि तिमी पत्रुस हौ, र यस चट्टानमाथि म मेरो मण्डली निर्माण गर्नेछु । नरकका ढोकाहरू यसमाथि विजयी हुनेछैनन् । (Hadēs g86)
Yes, and I say to you, Your name is ‘Peter — a Rock, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the Powers of the Place of Death shall not prevail over it. (Hadēs g86)
19 म तिमीलाई स्वर्गको राज्यका साँचाहरू दिनेछु । तिमीले पृथ्वीमा जे कुरा बाँध्नेछौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा बाँधिनेछ, र जे कुरा तिमीले पृथ्वीमा फुकाउनेछौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा फुकाइनेछ ।”
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be held in Heaven to be forbidden, and whatever you allow on earth will be held in Heaven to be allowed.”
20 त्यसपछि उहाँ नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरा कसैलाई नभन्नू भनी येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई आज्ञा गर्नुभयो ।
Then he charged his disciples not to tell any one that he was the Christ.
21 त्यस समयदेखि येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई उहाँ यरूशलेम जानुपर्छ, धर्म-गुरुहरू र मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूका हातबाट धेरै कुरा भोग्नुपर्छ, मारिनुपर्छ र तेस्रो दिनमा जीवनमा उठाइनुहुन्छ भनी बताउन थाल्नुभयो ।
At that time Jesus Christ began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and undergo much suffering at the hands of the Councillors, and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.
22 तब पत्रुसले उहाँलाई एकातिर लागे र यसो भन्दै हप्काए, “प्रभु, यो तपाईंबाट टाढा रहोस्; यस्तो तपाईंलाई कहिल्यै नहोस् ।”
But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him. “Master,” he said, “please God that shall never be your fate!”
23 तर येशू फर्कनुभयो र पत्रुसलाई भन्नुभयो, “शैतान, मबाट टाढा होइजा! तँ मेरो लागि बाधा होस्, किनकि तैँले परमेश्वरका कुराहरूलाई ध्यान दिँदैनस् तर मानिसहरूका कुराहरूमा ध्यान लगाउँछस् ।”
Jesus, however, turning to Peter, said: “Out of my way, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you look at things, not as God does, but as man does.”
24 त्यसपछि येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यदि कसैले मलाई पछ्याउने इच्छा गर्छ भने, उसले आफैँलाई इन्कार गर्नुपर्छ; आफ्नो क्रुस उठाउनुपर्छ र मलाई पछ्याउनुपर्छ ।
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “If any man wishes to walk in my steps, let him renounce self, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 किनकि जसले आफ्नो प्राण बचाउन खोज्छ उसले त्यो गुमाउनेछ र जसले मेरो खातिर आफ्नो जीवन गुमाउँछ त्यसले त्यो प्राप्त गर्नेछ ।
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life shall find it.
26 किनकि एउटा मानिसले सारा जगत् प्राप्त गरेर आफ्नो जीवनचाहिँ गुमायो भने उसलाई के लाभ हुन्छ र? एउटा मानिसले आफ्नो जीवनको बदलामा के दिन सक्छ?
What good will it do a man to gain the whole world, if he forfeits his life? or what will a man give that is of equal value with his life?
27 किनकि मानिसका पुत्र आफ्ना पिताको महिमामा उहाँका स्वर्गदूतहरूसँग आउनेछन् । त्यसपछि उनले हरेक व्यक्तिलाई उसको कामअनुसारको प्रतिफल दिनेछन् ।
For the Son of Man is to come in his Father’s Glory, with his angels, and then he ‘will give to every man what his actions deserve.’
28 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यहाँ खडा भएकाहरूमध्ये तिमीहरू कोही छौ, जसले मानिसका पुत्रलाई उनको राज्यमा आउँदै गरेका नदेखुन्जेलसम्म मृत्यु चाख्नेछैन ।”
I tell you, some of those who are standing here will not know death till they have seen the Son of Man coming into his Kingdom.”
