< मत्ती 21 >
1 जब येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू यरूशलेमको नजिक पुग्नुभयो र जैतून डाँडाको बेथफागे भनिने ठाउँमा आइपुग्नुभयो, तब येशूले दुई जना चेलालाई पठाउनुभयो,
When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples ahead,
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 ।
telling them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them 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 ।”
If anyone says anything to you, say, ‘The Lord has need of them.’ And immediately he will send them.”
4 अगमवक्ताद्वारा भनिएको कुरा पुरा हुनलाई यस्तो हुन आयो । उहाँले भन्नुभयो,
Now all this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
5 “‘सियोनकी छोरीलाई भन, हेर, विनम्र भई र गधामाथि सवार भएर अनि गधाको बच्चा अर्थात् एउटा बछेडामाथि चढेर तिम्रा राजा तिमीकहाँ आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ ।’”
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, yoʋr king is coming to yoʋ, humble and mounted on a donkey, and a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 तब चेलाहरू गए र येशूले जस्तो निर्देशन दिनुभएको थियो, त्यस्तै गरे ।
So the disciples went and did just as Jesus had directed them.
7 तिनीहरूले गधा र बछेडालाई ल्याए र तिनीहरूमाथि आफ्ना कपडाहरू बिछ्याइदिए, र येशू ती कपडाहरूमाथि बस्नुभयो ।
They brought the donkey and the colt and laid on them their garments, and Jesus sat on them.
8 भिडमा भएकाहरू धेरैले आफ्ना कपडाहरू बाटोमा बिछ्याइदिए, र अरूहरूले रुखका हाँगाहरू भाँचे र ती बाटोमा फैलाइदिए ।
A very large crowd spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees and also spread them on the road.
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!”
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed were crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes 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?”
As he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 भिडले जवाफ दियो, “उहाँ येशू हुनुहुन्छ, गालीलको नासरतबाट आउनुभएका अगमवक्ता ।”
So the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, 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 ।
Then Jesus entered the courts of God's temple and drove out all who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling 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 a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”
14 तब दृष्टिविहीनहरू र लङ्गडाहरू मन्दिरभित्र आए, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो ।
Then the lame and the blind came to him in the temple courts, 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 ।
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did and the children crying out in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant
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 said to him, “Do yoʋ hear what these children are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes, have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of babies and nursing infants yoʋ have prepared praise’?”
17 त्यसपछि येशू तिनीहरूबाट बिदा हुनुभयो र बेथानीको सहरमा जानुभयो र उहाँले त्यो रात त्यहीँ बिताउनुभयो ।
And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
18 बिहान जब उहाँ सहरमा फर्कनुभयो, उहाँ भोकाउनुभएको थियो ।
Early in the morning, as Jesus was returning 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 )
Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. Then he said to it, “May there never be any fruit from yoʋ again!” And at once the fig tree withered. (aiōn )
20 जब चेलाहरूले यो देखे, तिनीहरू अचम्मित भए र भने, “यति चाँडै यो बोट कसरी सुकेर गयो?”
When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, “How did the fig tree wither all at once?”
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 answered them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
22 तिमीहरूले विश्वास गरेर जेसुकै कुरा प्रार्थनामा माग्छौ, त्यो तिमीहरूले पाउनेछौ ।”
And if you have faith, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
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?”
When he entered the temple courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority are yoʋ doing these things? And who gave yoʋ 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 answered them, “I will also ask you one question. If you tell me the answer, I will also tell you by what authority I am doing 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 ।
Where did John's authority to baptize come from? From heaven or from men?” So they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
26 तर यदि हामीले ‘मानिसबाट’ भन्यौँ भने, हामी भिडसँग डराउँदछौँ, किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले यूहन्नालाई एक अगमवक्ताको रूपमा हेर्दथे ।”
But we are afraid of what the crowd might do if we say, ‘From men,’ for everyone regards 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 ।
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” Then he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing 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 what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to his first son and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29 त्यो छोराले जवाफ दियो र भन्यो, ‘म जान्नँ,’ तर केही समयपछि उसले आफ्नो मन बद्ल्यो र गयो ।
His son answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind 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 ।
Then the man went to his second son and said the same thing. His second son answered, ‘I will go, sir,’ but he 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 the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.
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 you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. Yet even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe 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 ।
“Listen to another parable: There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it to farmers, and left the country.
34 जब दाखको फसलको समय आयो, उनले दाखबारीका खेतालाहरूकहाँ दाख ल्याउनको लागि नोकरहरू पठाए ।
When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
35 तर दाखबारीका खेतालाहरूले उनका नोकरहरूलाई वशमा लिए; एउटालाई पिटे; अर्कोलाई मारे, र अर्कोलाई चाहिँ ढुङ्गाले हिर्काए ।
But the farmers seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned yet another.
36 फेरि, मालिकले पहिले भन्दा अझ धेरै नोकरहरू पठाए, तर ती दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूलाई पनि त्यस्तै व्यवहार गरे ।
Again he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the farmers treated them in the same way.
37 त्यसपछि मालिकले यसो भन्दै आफ्नै छोरालाई तिनीहरूकहाँ पठाए, ‘तिनीहरूले मेरा छोरालाई आदर गर्नेछन् ।’
Last of all, he sent them his son, saying, ‘They will have respect for 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 when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take possession of his inheritance.’
39 यसैले, तिनीहरूले उसलाई पक्रे, दाखबारीबाट बाहिर फ्याँकिदिए, र उसलाई मारे ।
So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 जब त्यस दाखबारीका मालिक आउँछन्, तिनले ती दाखबारीमा काम गर्नेहरूलाई के गर्लान्?”
Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
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 said to him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give 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 you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is amazing in our eyes’?
43 यसकारण, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, परमेश्वरको राज्य तिमीहरूबाट टाढा लगिनेछ र एउटा यस्तो जातिलाई दिइनेछ जसले आफ्नो फल फलाउनेछ ।
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
44 जो यस ढुङ्गामा खस्दछ, त्यो टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिनेछ । तर जसमाथि यो खस्दछ, त्यो कुल्चिनेछ ।”
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
45 जब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूले उहाँका दृष्टान्तहरू सुने, तिनीहरूकै विषयमा उहाँले बोलिरहनुभएको थियो भन्ने तिनीहरूले बुझे ।
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was speaking about them.
46 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पक्रनचाहन्थे, तर मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई अगमवक्ता मान्ने हुनाले तिनीहरू भिडसँग डराए ।
Although they were looking for a way to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded him as a prophet.
