मत्ती 18
1 त्यही समयमा येशूका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आएर भने, “स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा ठुलो को हो?”
In that same time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 येशूले आफ्नो नजिक एउटा सानो बालकलाई बोलाउनुभयो, र उसलाई उनीहरूका बिचमा राख्नुभयो,
Jesus called to himself a little child, set him among them,
3 र भन्नुभयो, “साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गरेर यी बालकजस्तो नभएसम्म, तिमीहरू अरू कुनै रीतिले स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नेछैनौ ।
and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 त्यसैले, जसले यी सानो बालकले झैँ आफूलाई नम्र तुल्याउँछ, त्यो मानिस नै स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा महान् हुन्छ ।
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 अनि जसले मेरो नाउँमा एउटा यस्तो सानो बालकलाई अपनाउँछ, उसले मलाई अपनाउँछ ।
Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name receives me.
6 तर ममा विश्वास गर्ने यी सानाहरूमध्ये एउटैलाई पनि जसले पाप गर्न लगाउँछ, त्यसको गलामा एउटा ठुलो ढुङ्गो झुण्ड्याइ समुद्रको गहिराइमा फालिदिनु असल हुने थियो ।
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to sin, it would be better for him that a great millstone should be hung about his neck, and that he should be sunk into the depths of the sea.
7 कठिनाइको समयको कारण यस संसारलाई धिक्कार! किनकि यस्तो समय आउनु आवश्यक छ, तर त्यस मानिसलाई धिक्कार जसद्वारा यस्तो समय आउँछ!
Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it is necessary that those stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom those stumbling blocks come!
8 यदि तिम्रो हात अथवा खुट्टाले तिमीलाई पाप गर्न लगाउँछ भने, त्यसलाई काटिदेऊ र त्यसलाई तिमीबाट टाढा फ्याँकिदेऊ । दुवै हात वा दुवै खुट्टा भएर अनन्तको आगोमा फालिनुभन्दा लुलो वा लङ्गडो भएर जीवनमा प्रवेश गर्नु तिम्रो निम्ति असल हुन्छ । (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or lame than to be thrown into the eternal fire having two hands or two feet. (aiōnios g166)
9 यदि तिम्रो आँखाले तिमीलाई पाप गर्न लगाउँछ भने, त्यसलाई निकाल, र तिमीबाट टाढा फ्याँकिदेऊ । दुवै आँखा भएर अनन्तको आगोमा फालिनु भन्दा एउटा आँखाको लिएर जीवनमा प्रवेश गर्नु तिम्रो निम्ति असल हुन्छ । (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to be thrown into the eternal fire having both eyes. (Geenna g1067)
10 होसियार रहो, यी सानाहरूमध्ये कसैलाई पनि घृणा नगर । किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्वर्गमा तिनीहरूका दूतहरूले सधैँ मेरा पिताको मुहार हेर्दछन् जो स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
See that you do not despise any of these little ones. For I say to you that in heaven their angels always look on the face of my Father who is in heaven.
11 किनकि मानिसका पुत्र हराएकाहरूलाई बचाउन आएका हुन् ।
12 तिमीहरू के विचार गर्छौ? यदि कुनै मानिससँग एक सयवटा भेडा छन्, अनि तीमध्ये एउटा हरायो भने, के उसले ती उनान्सयलाई डाँडाको एक छेउमा छोडेर त्यस हराएकोलाई खोज्न हिँड्दैन र?
What do you think? If anyone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go off seeking the one that went astray?
13 अनि साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि उसले त्यो हराएको भेडालाई भेट्टायो भने, ऊसँग भएका ती उनान्सय भेडाभन्दा त्यस एउटाको निम्ति उसले बढी रमाहट गर्दछ ।
If he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.
14 त्यसरी नै, यी सानाहरूमध्ये एउटै पनि नाश होस् भनी स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने तिमीहरूका पिताले इच्छा गर्नुहुन्न ।
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 यदि तिम्रो भाइले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ भने, जाऊ, र एकलै भेटेर उसलाई उसको गल्ती देखाइदेऊ । यदि उसले तिम्रो कुरा सुन्छ भने, तिमीले आफ्नो भाइलाई प्राप्त गर्नेछौ ।
If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have gained your brother.
16 तर यदि उसले तिम्रो कुरा सुन्दैन भने, अरू एक वा दुई जना भाइलाई तिमीसँगै लैजाऊ, ताकि दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको बोलीद्वारा हरेक शब्द सत्य ठहरिओस् ।
But if he does not listen to you, take one or two others along with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word might be verified.
17 र यदि उसले तिनीहरूको कुरा पनि सुन्न इन्कार गर्दछ भने, यो विषय मण्डलीलाई बताऊ । यदि उसले मण्डलीलाई पनि सुन्न इन्कार गर्दछ भने, ऊ तिम्रो निम्ति गैरयहूदी वा कर उठाउने सरह होस् ।
And if he refuses to listen to them, tell the matter to the church. If he also refuses to listen to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
18 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जे कुराहरू तिमी संसारमा बाँध्छौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा पनि बाँधिनेछ । अनि जे कुराहरू तिमी संसारमा फुकाउनेछौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा फुकाइनेछ ।
Truly I say to you, whatever things you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven.
19 अझ म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि तिमीहरूमध्ये दुई जनाले तिनीहरूले मागेका जुनसुकै कुरामा यस संसारमा सहमत हुन्छन् भने, स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने मेरा पिताद्वारा तिनीहरूका निम्ति त्यो गरिनेछ ।
Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 किनकि जहाँ दुई वा तिन जना मेरो नाउँमा भेला हुन्छन्, म तिनीहरूका माझमा हुनेछु ।”
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
21 अनि पत्रुस आए र येशूलाई भने, “प्रभु, मेरो भाइले मेरो विरुद्धमा कति पटक पाप गर्यो भने मैले उसलाई क्षमा गरूँ? के सात पल्टसम्म?”
Then Peter came and said to Jesus, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 येशूले उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म तिमीलाई सात पटक भनेर भन्दिनँ, तर सत्तरी गुणा सात पल्टसम्म ।
Jesus said to him, “I do not tell you seven times, but until seventy times seven.
23 यसैकारण, स्वर्गको राज्यलाई एउटा यस्तो राजासँग तुलना गर्न सकिन्छ, जसले आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित आफ्नो हिसाब मिलाउन चाहे ।
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is similar to a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
24 जब तिनले हिसाब लिन थाले, एउटा नोकर तिनको अगाडि ल्याइयो जसले तिनलाई दस हजार सुनका सिक्का तिर्नुपर्ने थियो ।
As he began the settling, one servant was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 तर त्यस नोकरसित त्यो चुक्ता गर्ने केही उपाय नभएकोले, त्यसका मालिकले त्योसहित त्यसकी पत्नी, त्यसका बालबच्चा र सबथोक बेचेर त्यो तिर्न आदेश दिए ।
But since he had not the means to repay, his master commanded him to be sold, together with his wife and children and everything that he had, and payment to be made.
26 त्यसैले, त्यस नोकर घुँडा टेक्दै तिनको अगि घोप्टो पर्यो, अनि भन्यो, ‘मालिक, मसँग धैर्य गर्नुहोस्, अनि म हजुरलाई सब थोक तिर्नेछु ।’
So the servant fell down, bowed down before him, and said, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.'
27 त्यसैले, त्यस नोकरका मालिक दयाले भरिएको कारण तिनले त्यसलाई छोडिदिएर ऋणमुक्त गरिदिए ।
So the master of that servant, since he was moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt.
28 तर त्यस नोकर बाहिर गयो र त्यसले आफ्नो सहकर्मी एउटा नोकर भेट्टायो जसले त्यसलाई एक सय दिनार तिर्नुपर्ने थियो । त्यसले उसलाई पक्रियो, र घाँटीमा समात्यो, र भन्यो, ‘तैँले मलाई जे तिर्नुपर्नेछ, त्यो तिरिहाल ।’
But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii. He grasped him, took him by the throat, and said, 'Pay me what you owe.'
29 तर त्यसको नोकरले घुँडा टेक्यो र त्यसलाई बिन्ती गर्यो, ‘मसँग धैर्य गर्नुहोस्, अनि म तपाईंलाई सबै ऋण तिरिदिनेछु ।’
But his fellow servant fell down and implored him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you.'
30 तर त्यो पहिलो नोकरले इन्कार गर्यो । बरु, त्यो गयो र उसले तिर्नुपर्ने ऋण चुक्ता नगरेसम्म उसलाई झ्यालखानामा हालिदियो ।
But the first servant refused. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should pay him what he owed.
31 जब त्यसका अरू सहकर्मी नोकरहरूले जे भएको थियो त्यो देखे, उनीहरू अत्यन्तै निराश भए । उनीहरू आए, र जे भएको थियो त्यो सबै उनीहरूका मालिकलाई सुनाइदिए ।
When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very upset. They came and told their master everything that had happened.
32 त्यसपछि त्यस नोकरका मालिकले त्यसलाई बोलाए र भने, ‘तँ दुष्ट नोकर, तैँले मलाई बिन्ती गरेको हुनाले मैले तेरा सबै ऋण तँलाई माफ गरिदिएँ ।
Then that servant's master called him, and said to him, 'You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you implored me.
33 मैले तँमाथि दया गरेझैँ के तैँले पनि आफ्नो सहकर्मी नोकरमाथि दया गर्नु पर्दैनथ्यो?’
Should you not have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
34 त्यसका मालिक रिसाए र त्यसले तिर्नुपर्ने सबै ऋण चुक्ता नगरेसम्म त्यसलाई सताउनेहरूका हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।
His master was angry and handed him over to the torturers until he would pay all that was owed.
35 यदि तिमीहरू हरेकले आफ्नो हृदयबाट आफ्नो भाइलाई क्षमा गरेनौ भने, मेरा स्वर्गीय पिताले पनि तिमीहरूसित यस्तै गर्नुहुनेछ ।
So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”
