< मत्ती 21 >
1 जब येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू यरूशलेमको नजिक पुग्नुभयो र जैतून डाँडाको बेथफागे भनिने ठाउँमा आइपुग्नुभयो, तब येशूले दुई जना चेलालाई पठाउनुभयो,
And as he approached Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, by the side of the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples;
2 र यसो भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू सामुन्नेको गाउँमा जाओ, र तिमीहरूले त्यहाँ पुग्ने बित्तिकै बाँधेर राखिएको एउटा गधा, र त्यससँग एउटा बछेडा भेट्टाउनेछौ । तिनीहरूलाई फुकाओ र मकहाँ ल्याओ ।
and said to them: Go into this village which is over against you, and directly ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her. Untie and bring them to me.
3 यदि यसको विषयमा कसैले केही भन्यो भने तिमीहरूले यसो भन, ‘प्रभुलाई यसको आवश्यक परेको छ’ र त्यस मानिसले तुरुन्तै तिनीहरूलाई तिमीहरूसँग पठाइदिनेछन् ।”
And if any man say ought to you, tell him, That they are needed by our Lord: and at once he will send them hither.
4 अगमवक्ताद्वारा भनिएको कुरा पुरा हुनलाई यस्तो हुन आयो । उहाँले भन्नुभयो,
Now this whole occurrence was, that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 “‘सियोनकी छोरीलाई भन, हेर, विनम्र भई र गधामाथि सवार भएर अनि गधाको बच्चा अर्थात् एउटा बछेडामाथि चढेर तिम्रा राजा तिमीकहाँ आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।’”
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of an ass.
6 तब चेलाहरू गए र येशूले जस्तो निर्देशन दिनुभएको थियो, त्यस्तै गरे ।
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them.
7 तिनीहरूले गधा र बछेडालाई ल्याए र तिनीहरूमाथि आफ्ना कपडाहरू बिछ्याइदिए, र येशू ती कपडाहरूमाथि बस्नुभयो ।
And they brought the ass and the colt. And they placed their garments on the colt, and set Jesus upon it.
8 भिडमा भएकाहरू धेरैले आफ्ना कपडाहरू बाटोमा बिछ्याइदिए, र अरूहरूले रुखका हाँगाहरू भाँचे र ती बाटोमा फैलाइदिए ।
And a very great throng strewed their clothes in the path; and others cut branches from the trees, and cast them in the path.
9 येशूको अगि गएका र उहाँलाई पछ्याएका सबै भिडले यसो भन्दै चिच्च्याए, “दाऊदका पुत्रलाई होसन्ना! उहाँ धन्यको हुनुहुन्छ जो परमेश्वरको नाउँमा आउनुहुन्छ! उच्चमा विराजमान हुनुहुनेलाई होसन्ना!”
And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed after him, shouted and said: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 जब येशू यरूशलेमभित्र आउनुभएको थियो, सारा सहरमा हलचल भयो र तिनीहरूले भने, “यिनी को हुन्?”
And as he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion; and they said, Who is this?
11 भिडले जवाफ दियो, “उहाँ येशू हुनुहुन्छ, गालीलको नासरतबाट आउनुभएका अगमवक्ता ।”
And the multitudes said, This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 त्यसपछि येशू मन्दिरभित्र प्रवेश गर्नुभयो । उहाँले मन्दिरभित्र खरिद गर्ने र बेच्ने सबैलाई बाहिर निकालिदिनुभयो, र पैसा साट्नेहरूका टेबुलहरू अनि परेवा बेच्नेहरूका आसनहरू पल्टाइदिनुभयो ।
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and expelled all them that bought and sold in the temple, and overset the counters of the money-brokers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
13 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यस्तो लेखिएको छ, ‘मेरो घर प्रार्थनाको घर कहलाइनेछ,’ तर तिमीहरूले यसलाई डाँकुहरूका अड्डा बनाउँछौ ।”
And he said to them: It is written, my house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers.
14 तब दृष्टिविहीनहरू र लङ्गडाहरू मन्दिरभित्र आए, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
And there came to him in the temple the blind and the lame; and he healed them.
15 तर जब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूले उहाँले गर्नुभएका अचम्मका कुराहरू देखे, र जब तिनीहरूले मन्दिरमा केटाकेटीहरूले “दाऊदका पुत्रलाई होसन्ना” भनेर चिच्च्याइरकेका सुने, तिनीहरू रिसले चुर भए ।
And when the chief priests and Pharisees saw the wonderful things which he performed, and the children shouting in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, their indignation was excited.
16 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “के यी मानिसहरूले जे भनिरहेका छन्, तिमी सुन्न सक्छौ?” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हो! तर के तिमीहरूले कहिल्यै पढेका छैनौ, ‘दूधे बालक र शिशुहरूको मुखबाट उहाँले पूर्ण प्रशंसा लिनुभएको छ’?”
And they said to him: Hearest thou what these are saying? Jesus said to them: Yes. Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and infants
17 त्यसपछि येशू तिनीहरूबाट बिदा हुनुभयो र बेथानीको सहरमा जानुभयो र उहाँले त्यो रात त्यहीँ बिताउनुभयो ।
thou hast acquired praise? And he left them, and retired out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 बिहान जब उहाँ सहरमा फर्कनुभयो, उहाँ भोकाउनुभएको थियो ।
And in the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 उहाँले बाटोको छेउमा एउटा अन्जीरको बोट देख्नुभयो, उहाँ त्यसको नजिक जानुभयो र त्यसमा पातहरूबाहेक अरू केही भेट्टाउनुभएन । उहाँले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “तँबाट अब कहिल्यै पनि फेरि कुनै फल नआओस् ।” र त्यो अन्जीरको बोट तुरुन्तै सुकिहाल्यो । (aiōn )
And he saw a fig-tree by the way, and came to it and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And he said to it: There shall no more be fruit on thee for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (aiōn )
20 जब चेलाहरूले यो देखे, तिनीहरू अचम्मित भए र भने, “यति चाँडै यो बोट कसरी सुकेर गयो?”
And the disciples saw it, and admired, and said: How suddenly hath the fig-tree withered!
21 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि तिमीहरूमा विश्वास छ र शङ्का गरेनौ भने यस अन्जीरको बोटलाई जे गरिएको थियो त्यो मात्र होइन, तर तिमीहरूले यस पहाडलाई, ‘यहाँबाट उखेलिएर समुद्रमा जा’ भन्यौ भने पनि त्यसै हुनेछ ।
Jesus replied and said to them: Verily I say to you, That if there be faith in you, and ye shall not doubt, ye may not only do this thing of the fig-tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, be thou lifted up, and fall into the sea, it will be so.
22 तिमीहरूले विश्वास गरेर जेसुकै कुरा प्रार्थनामा माग्छौ, त्यो तिमीहरूले पाउनेछौ ।”
And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, and shall believe, ye shall receive.
23 जब येशू मन्दिरमा आउनुभएको थियो, उहाँले सिकाउँदै गर्नुहुँदा मुख्य पुजारीहरू र मानिसका अगुवाहरू उहाँकहाँ आएर भने, “तिमीले कुन अधिकारले यी कुराहरू गर्दछौ? र तिमीलाई यो अधिकार कसले दियो?”
And when Jesus came to the temple, the chief priests and the Elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
24 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “म पनि तिमीहरूलाई एउटा प्रश्न सोध्नेछु । यदि तिमीहरूले मलाई त्यो बतायौ भने, मैले कुन अधिकारले यी कुराहरू गर्छु भन्ने कुरा म तिमीहरूलाई बताउनेछु ।
Jesus replied and said to them: I also will ask you one question, and if ye will tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 यूहन्नाको बप्तिस्मा कहाँबाट आएको हो? स्वर्गबाट हो या मानिसहरूबाट?” तिनीहरूले एक आपसमा यस्तो भन्दै छलफल गरे, “यदि हामीले ‘स्वर्गबाट’ भन्यौँ भने, उसले हामीलाई ‘त्यसो भए, तिमीहरूले उनलाई किन विश्वास गरेनौ?’ भनेर भन्नेछन् ।
The baptism of John, from whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, and said: If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why did ye not believe in him?
26 तर यदि हामीले ‘मानिसबाट’ भन्यौँ भने, हामी भिडसँग डराउँदछौँ, किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले यूहन्नालाई एक अगमवक्ताको रूपमा हेर्दथे ।”
And if we should say, From men; we are afraid of the multitude, for they all hold John as a prophet.
27 तब तिनीहरूले येशूलाई जवाफ दिएर भने, “हामीलाई थाहा छैन ।” उहाँले पनि तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो “म पनि कुन अधिकारले यी कुराहरू गर्दछु भनेर तिमीहरूलाई भन्दिनँ ।
And they answered, and said to him: We do not know. Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 तर तिमीहरू के विचार गर्दछौ? एक जना मानिसका दुई जना छोरा थिए । उनी पहिलोकहाँ गएर भने, ‘छोरा आज दाखबारीमा गएर काम गर ।’
But how appeareth it to you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first and said to him, My son, go, labor to-day in the vineyard.
29 त्यो छोराले जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, ‘म जान्नँ,’ तर केही समयपछि उसले आफ्नो मन बद्ल्यो र गयो ।
And he answered and said, I am not willing. But afterwards he repented and went.
30 र त्यो मानिस आफ्नो दोस्रो छोराकहाँ गए र त्यही कुरा भने । यो छोराले जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, ‘हजुर, म जानेछु,’ तर त्यो गएन ।
And he came to the other, and said the same to him. And he answered and said: I go, my lord, but did not go.
31 यी दुई जनामध्ये कुनचाहिँ छोराले आफ्नो बुबाको इच्छा पुरा गर्यो?” तिनीहरूले भने, “पहिलो चाहिँले ।” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूभन्दा पहिले कर उठाउनेहरू र यौनकर्मीहरू परमेश्वरको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नेछन् ।
Which of these two performed the pleasure of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you That publicans and harlots go before you into the kingdom of God.
32 किनकि यूहन्ना तिमीहरूकहाँ धार्मिकताको बाटोमा आए, तर तिमीहरूले उनलाई विश्वास गरेनौ, जब कि कर उठाउनेहरू र यौनकर्मीहरूले उनलाई विश्वास गरे । र तिमीहरूले जब यो भइरहेको देख्यौ, उनमा विश्वास गर्नलाई पछि तिमीहरूले पश्चात्ताप पनि गरेनौ ।
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and harlots believed him: and ye, after ye had seen it, did not even then repent and believe in him.
33 अर्को दृष्टान्त सुन । एक जना मानिस थिए, जो जमिन मालिक थिए । उनले त्यहाँ दाखबारी लगाए र त्यसको वरिपरि बार लगाए; त्यहाँ दाख पेल्ने कोल बनाए; रेखदेखको निम्ति एउटा धरहरा बनाए; र खेतालाहरूलाई त्यसको ठेक्का दिए । त्यसपछि उनी अर्कै देशमा गए ।
Hear ye another similitude. A certain man, the lord of a house, planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower in it, and leased it to cultivators, and removed to a distance.
34 जब दाखको फसलको समय आयो, उनले दाखबारीका खेतालाहरूकहाँ दाख ल्याउनको लागि नोकरहरू पठाए ।
And when the time for the fruits arrived, he sent his servants to the cultivators that they might remit to him of the fruits of the vineyard.
35 तर दाखबारीका खेतालाहरूले उनका नोकरहरूलाई वशमा लिए; एउटालाई पिटे; अर्कोलाई मारे, र अर्कोलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हिर्काए ।
And the cultivators laid hold of his servants, and beat one, and stoned another and one they slew.
36 फेरि, मालिकले पहिले भन्दा अझ धेरै नोकरहरू पठाए, तर ती दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पनि त्यस्तै व्यवहार गरे ।
And again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first; and they did the like to them.
37 त्यसपछि मालिकले यसो भन्दै आफ्नै छोरालाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाए, ‘तिनीहरूले मेरा छोरालाई आदर गर्नेछन् ।’
And at last he sent to them his son: for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
38 तर जब दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले मालिकका छोरालाई देखे, तिनीहरूले एक आपसमा भने, ‘यो त उत्तराधिकारी हो । आओ, हामी यसलाई मारौँ र यसको उत्तराधिकार लिऔँ ।’
But the cultivators, when they saw the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: Come; let us kill him, and retain his inheritance.
39 यसैले, तिनीहरूले उसलाई पक्रे, दाखबारीबाट बाहिर फ्याँकिदिए, र उसलाई मारे ।
And they laid hold of him, thrust him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 जब त्यस दाखबारीका मालिक आउँछन्, तिनले ती दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूलाई के गर्लान्?”
When the lord of the vineyard, therefore, shall come; what will he do to those cultivators?
41 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “उनले ती दुष्ट मानिसहरूलाई सबैभन्दा भयानक तरिकाले नाश गर्नेछन् र त्यो दाखबारी ती मानिसहरूलाई ठेक्कामा दिनेछन्, जसले फल पाकिसकेपछि त्यसको निम्ति मोल तिर्दछन् ।”
They say to him: He will utterly destroy them; and will lease the vineyard to other cultivators, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले कहिल्यै धर्मशास्त्रमा पढेनौ, ‘जुन ढुङ्गालाई भवन निर्माण गर्नेहरूले रद्ध गरे त्यहीचाहिँ कुनाको शिर ढुङ्गो बन्यो । यो परमप्रभुबाट भएको हो, अनि हाम्रो दृष्टिमा यो आश्चर्यपूर्ण छ?’
Jesus said to them: Have ye never read in the scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner: this is from the Lord; and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 यसकारण, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, परमेश्वरको राज्य तिमीहरूबाट टाढा लगिनेछ र एउटा यस्तो जातिलाई दिइनेछ जसले आफ्नो फल फलाउनेछ ।
Therefore I say to you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a people that will yield fruits.
44 जो यस ढुङ्गामा खस्दछ, त्यो टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ । तर जसमाथि यो खस्दछ, त्यो कुल्चिनेछ ।”
And whoever shall fall upon this stone, will be fractured; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to atoms?
45 जब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूले उहाँका दृष्टान्तहरू सुने, तिनीहरूकै विषयमा उहाँले बोलिरहनुभएको थियो भन्ने तिनीहरूले बुझे ।
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his similitudes, they understood that he spoke in reference to them.
46 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रनचाहन्थे, तर मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई अगमवक्ता मान्ने हुनाले तिनीहरू भिडसँग डराए ।
And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the multitude, because they accounted him as a prophet.
