1 छ दिनपछि येशूले पत्रुस, याकूब र उनका भाइ यूहन्‍नालाई उहाँसँग लैजानुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई मात्र एउटा अग्लो पहाडमा लैजानुभयो ।
Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to a solitary place.
2 उनीहरूको अगाडि उहाँको रूप परिवर्तन भयो । उहाँको मुहार सूर्यझैँ चम्किलो भयो, र उहाँको वस्‍त्र प्रकाशझैँ उज्यालो भयो ।
There in their presence His form underwent a change; His face shone like the sun, and His raiment became as white as the light.
3 हेर, त्यहाँ मोशा र एलिया उहाँसँग बोलिरहेका उनीहरूले देखे ।
And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them conversing with Him.
4 पत्रुसले जवाफ दिए र येशूलाई भने, “प्रभु, हामीलाई यहीँ रहनु असल हुन्छ । तपाईं चाहनुहुन्छ भने, म यहाँ तिनवटा वासस्‍थान बनाउनेछु– एउटा तपाईंको निम्ति, एउटा मोशाको निम्ति र एउटा एलियाको निम्ति ।”
Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 जब उनी बोलिरहेका थिए, तब हेर, चम्किलो बादलले उनीहरूलाई ढाक्यो, र हेर, त्यहाँ बादल भित्रबाट यस्तो आवाज आयो, “यिनी मेरा प्रिय पुत्र हुन्, जससँग म अति प्रसन्‍न छु । यिनको कुरा सुन ।”
He was still speaking when a luminous cloud spread over them; and a voice was heard from within the cloud, which said, "This is My Son dearly beloved, in whom is My delight. Listen to Him."
6 जब चेलाहरूले यो सुने, उनीहरूले आफ्नो मुहार लुकाएर साह्रै भयभीत भए ।
On hearing this voice, the disciples fell on their faces and were filled with terror.
7 अनि येशू आउनुभयो र उनीहरूलाई छुनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “उठ र नडराओ ।”
But Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Rouse yourselves and have no fear."
8 त्यसपछि उनीहरूले माथि हेरे, तर येशूलाई बाहेक अरू कसैलाई देखेनन् ।
So they looked up, and saw no one but Jesus.
9 जब उहाँहरू पहाडबाट तल झर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, येशूले उनीहरूलाई यसो भन्दै आज्ञा दिनुभयो, “मानिसका पुत्र मृतकहरूबाट जीवित भई नउठेसम्म यो दर्शनको विषयमा कसैलाई नबताउनू ।”
As they were descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. "Tell no one," He said, "of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
10 उहाँका चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भनेर सोधे, “त्यसो भए, एलिया पहिले आउनुपर्छ भनेर शास्‍त्रीहरू किन भन्छन् त?”
"Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
11 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “एलिया अवश्य आउनेछन् र सबै कुराको पुनर्स्थापना गर्नेछन् ।
"Elijah was indeed to come," He replied, "and would reform everything.
12 तर म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, एलिया पहिले नै आइसकेका छन्, तर तिनीहरूले उनलाई चिनेनन् । त्यसको बदला, तिनीहरूले उनीमाथि जे मन लाग्यो त्यही गरे । त्यसै गरी, मानिसका पुत्रले पनि तिनीहरूका हातबाट दुःख भोग्‍नेछन् ।”
But I tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way."
13 अनि उहाँले बप्‍तिस्मा-दिने यूहन्‍नाको विषयमा तिनीहरूसँग बोलिरहनुभएको थियो भन्‍ने कुरा चेलाहरूले बुझे ।
Then it dawned upon the disciples that it was John the Baptist about whom He had spoken to them.
14 जब उहाँहरू भिड भएको ठाउँमा आउनुभयो, एक जना मानिस उहाँकहाँ आई उहाँको सामु घुँडा टेकेर भन्यो,
When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.
15 “प्रभु, मेरो छोरामाथि कृपा गर्नुहोस्, किनकि उसलाई छारे रोग लागेको छ र उसले कठोर रूपमा दुःख भोगिरहन्छ । किनकि ऊ प्रायः आगो वा पानीमा खस्दछ ।
"Sir," he said, "have pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and is very ill. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 मैले उसलाई तपाईंका चेलाहरूकहाँ ल्याएँ, तर उनीहरूले उसलाई निको पार्न सकेनन् ।”
I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to cure him."
17 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “हे अविश्‍वासी र भ्रष्‍ट पुस्ता हो, कहिलेसम्म म तिमीहरूसँग बस्‍ने? कहिलेसम्म मैले तिमीहरूलाई साथ दिने? उसलाई यता मकहाँ ल्याओ ।”
"O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? Bring him to me."
18 येशूले उसलाई हकार्नुभयो र भूतात्मा उसबाट बाहिर निस्क्यो । त्यो केटा त्यही घडीबाट निको भयो ।
Then Jesus reprimanded the demon, and it came out and left him; and the boy was cured from that moment.
19 त्यसपछि चेलाहरू गुप्‍तमा येशूकहाँ आए र भने, “हामीले किन त्यसलाई बाहिर निकाल्न सकेनौँ?”
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked Him, "Why could not we expel the demon?"
20 येशूले उनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूको कमजोर विश्‍वासको कारण । किनकि साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि तिमीहरूसँग रायोको दाना जत्तिकै मात्र विश्‍वास छ भने पनि, यो पहाडलाई तिमीहरूले ‘यहाँबाट हटेर त्यहाँ जा’ भन्यौ भने पनि त्यो जानेछ र तिमीहरूका निम्ति कुनै पनि कुरा असम्भव हुनेछैन ।
"Because your faith is so small," He replied; "for I solemnly declare to you that if you have faith like a mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Remove from this place to that,' and it will remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 तर यस्तो किसिमको भूतात्माचाहिँ प्रार्थना र उपवासविना बाहिर निस्कँदैन ।”
But an evil spirit of this kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting."
22 जब उहाँहरू गालीलमा बस्‍नुभयो, येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मानिसका पुत्र मानिसहरूका हातमा सुम्पिनेछन् ।
As they were travelling about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men;
23 र तिनीहरूले उनलाई मार्नेछन् र उनी तेस्रो दिनमा उठाइनेछन् ।” चेलाहरू औधी दुःखित भए ।
they will put Him to death, but on the third day He will be raised to life again." And they were exceedingly distressed.
24 जब उहाँहरू कफर्नहुममा आउनुभएको थियो, आधा सेकेल कर उठाउने मानिसहरू पत्रुसकहाँ आए र भने, “के तिमीहरूका शिक्षकले आधा सेकेल कर तिर्दैनन्?”
After their arrival at Capernaum the collectors of the half-shekel came and asked Peter, "Does not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?"
25 उनले भने, “तिर्छन् ।” तर जब पत्रुस घरभित्र गए, येशू पहिले उनीसँग बोल्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “सिमोन, तिम्रो विचार के छ? पृथ्वीका राजाहरूले कोबाट कर वा महसुल पाउँछन्? तिनीहरूका प्रजाबाट कि परदेशीहरूबाट?”
"Yes," he replied, and then went into the house. But before he spoke a word Jesus said, "What think you, Simon? From whom do this world's kings receive customs or capitation tax? from their own children, or from others?"
26 जब पत्रुसले “परदेशीहरूबाट” भनेर भने, येशूले उनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “त्यसो भए, प्रजाहरूचाहिँ कर तिर्नबाट मुक्त हुन्छन् ।
"From others," he replied. "Then the children go free," said Jesus.
27 हामीले कर उठाउनेहरूलाई पाप गर्न बाध्य नगराऔँ भनेर समुद्रमा जाऊ, बल्छी हान, र जुन माछा पहिले पर्छ त्यसलाई तान । तिमीले त्यसको मुख खोलेपछि तिमीले एक सेकेल भेट्टाउनेछौ । त्यो लेऊ अनि मेरो र तिम्रो निम्ति कर उठाउनेहरूलाई देऊ ।”
"However, lest we cause them to sin, go and throw a hook into the Lake, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a shekel in it: bring that coin and give it to them for yourself and me."
