< मत्ती 24 >
1 ययेशू मन्दिरबाट बाहिर जानुभयो र उहाँ आफ्नो बाटोमा जाँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँलाई मन्दिरका भवनहरू देखाउन उहाँका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए ।
And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
2 तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले यी सबै कुरा देख्दैनौ? साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, एउटा ढुङ्गामाथि अर्को ढुङ्गा छोडिनेछैन, सबै भत्काइनेछन् ।”
And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.
3 जब उहाँ जैतून डाँडामा वस्नुभयो, चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ सुटुक्कै आए र भने, “हामीलाई भन्नुहोस्, यी कुराहरू कहिले हुनेछन्? तपाईंको आगमन र संसारको अन्तको चिन्ह के हुनेछ?” (aiōn )
And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age? (aiōn )
4 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “होसियार रहो, कसैले तिमीहरूलाई नभड्काओस् ।”
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.
5 किनकि मेरो नाउँमा धेरै जना आउनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, ‘म नै ख्रीष्ट हुँ!’ र धेरैलाई भड्काउनेछन् ।
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.
6 तिमीहरूले लडाइँ र लडाइँका हल्ला सुन्नेछौ । तर तिमीहरू, विचलित नहोओ, किनकि यी कुराहरू हुनैपर्छ; तर अझै अन्त आइसकेको हुँदैन ।
But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.
7 किनकि जातिको विरुद्धमा जाति खडा हुनेछ, र राज्यको विरुद्धमा राज्य खडा हुनेछ । विभिन्न ठाउँमा अनिकाल हुनेछ र भूकम्पहरू जानेछन् ।
For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
8 तर यी सबै कुरा प्रसव-वेदनाको सुरुवात मात्र हो ।
But all these [are the] beginning of throes.
9 तब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सङ्कष्टको लागि सुम्पनेछन् र तिमीहरूलाई मार्नेछन् । मेरो नामको खातिर सबै जातिद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गरिनेछ ।
Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.
10 तब धेरै जनाले ठेस खानेछन्, र एक अर्कालाई धोका दिनेछन्, एक अर्कालाई घृणा गर्नेछन् ।
And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;
11 धेरै झुटा अगमवक्ता खडा हुनेछन् र धेरै जनालाई बहकाउनेछन् ।
and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;
12 किनभने अधर्मको वृद्धि हुनेछ; धेरै जनाको प्रेम सेलाउनेछ ।
and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
13 तर जो अन्तसम्म स्थिर रहन्छ, उसले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
but he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved.
14 राज्यको यो सुसमाचार सारा संसारमा सबै जातिलाई साक्षीको रूपमा प्रचार गरिनेछ । तब अन्त आउनेछ ।
And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.
15 त्यसकारण, जब तिमीहरूले दानिएल अगमवक्ताले भनेका जस्तै त्यस विनाशकारी घृणित व्यक्तिलाई पवित्र स्थानमा उभिएको देख्छौ (पाठकले आफैँ बुझोस),
When therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation, which is spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in [what is a] holy place, (he that reads let him understand, )
16 जो यहूदियामा छन्, तिनीहरू पहाडहरूतिर भागून्,
then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains;
17 जो घरको छानामाथि छ, ऊ घरबाट कुनै सामान लिन तल नझरोस् ।
let not him that is on the house come down to take the things out of his house;
18 र जो खेतमा छ, ऊ आफ्नो खास्टो लिन नफर्कोस् ।
and let not him that is in the field turn back to take his garment.
19 तर ती दिनमा हाय तिनीहरूलाई जो गर्भवती छन् र जसले शिशुहरूलाई दूध चुसाउँछन्!
But woe to those that are with child, and those that give suck in those days.
20 हिउँदमा वा शबाथको दिनमा तिमीहरू भाग्न नपरोस् भनी प्रार्थना गर ।
But pray that your flight may not be in winter time nor on sabbath:
21 किनकि त्यस बेला महासङ्कष्ट हुनेछ, जुन संसारको सुरुदेखि अहिलेसम्म कहिल्यै भएको छैन, न त कहिल्यै फेरि हुनेछ ।
for then shall there be great tribulation, such as has not been from [the] beginning of [the] world until now, nor ever shall be;
22 ती दिनहरू नघटाइएसम्म कुनै शरीर पनि बच्नेछैन । तर चुनिएकाहरूका निम्ति ती दिनहरू घटाइनेछन् ।
and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.
23 तब यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, ख्रीष्ट यहाँ छन्!’ वा, ‘ख्रीष्ट त्यहाँ छन्!’ भन्छ भने त्यसलाई विश्वास नगर ।
Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not.
24 किनकि झुटा ख्रीष्टहरू र झुटा अगमवक्ताहरू आउनेछन् र हुन सके, चुनिएकाहरूलाई समेत बहकाउनलाई ठुला-ठुला चिन्हहरू र चमत्कारहरू देखाउनेछन् ।
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
25 हेर, मैले यी अगाडि नै तिमीहरूलाई बताएको छु ।
Behold, I have told you beforehand.
26 त्यसकारण, यदि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, उहाँ उजाड-स्थानमा हुनुहुन्छ’ भनेर भन्छन् भने, उजाड-स्थानतिर नजाओ । वा ‘हेर, उहाँ भित्री कोठाहरूमा हुनुहुन्छ’ भनेर भन्छन् भने, त्यसलाई विश्वास नगर ।
If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, do not believe [it].
27 किनकि जसरी बिजुली पूर्वबाट चम्कन्छ र पश्चिमसम्मै त्यसको उज्यालो पुग्दछ, मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
28 जहाँ सिनो छ, त्यहाँ गिद्धहरू भेला हुनेछन् ।
[For] wherever the carcase is, there will be gathered the eagles.
29 तर ती दिनमा सङ्कष्ट आए लगत्तै सूर्य अँध्यारो हुनेछ; चन्द्रमाले आफ्नो ज्योति दिनेछैन; ताराहरू आकाशबाट खस्नेछन्, र स्वर्गका शक्तिहरू डगमगाउनेछन् ।
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
30 तब मानिसका पुत्रको चिन्ह आकाशमा देखा पर्नेछ, अनि पृथ्वीका सबै जातिले विलाप गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले मानिसका पुत्रलाई आकाशको बादलमा शक्ति र ठुलो महिमासाथ आउँदै गरेको देख्नेछन् ।
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the land lament, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई तुरहीको ठुलो आवाजका साथ पठाउनुहुनेछ, अनि तिनीहरूले उहाँका चुनिएकाहरूलाई आकाशको एउटा छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म चारै दिशाबाट भेला गराउनेछन् ।
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from [the one] extremity of [the] heavens to [the other] extremity of them.
32 अन्जीरको बोटबाट पाठ सिक । जब त्यसका हाँगाहरू कलिला हुन्छन् र पातहरू पलाउँछन्, तब ग्रीष्म ऋतु आउँदै छ भनेर तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउँछौ ।
But learn the parable from the fig-tree: When already its branch becomes tender and produces leaves, ye know that the summer is near.
33 त्यसरी नै, जब तिमीहरूले पनि यी सबै कुरा देख्छौ, उहाँ नजिकै अर्थात् ढोकाकै छेउमा हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नुपर्छ ।
Thus also ye, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors.
34 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यी सबै कुरा नभएसम्म यो पुस्ता बितेर जानेछैन ।
Verily I say to you, This generation will not have passed away until all these things shall have taken place.
35 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जानेछ, तर मेरा वचन बितेर जानेछैनन् ।
The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
36 तर त्यस दिन र घडीको विषयमा कसैलाई पनि थाहा छैन, न त स्वर्गका स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई, न पुत्रलाई, तर पितालाई मात्र थाहा छ ।
But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, but [my] Father alone.
37 मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि नोआका दिनमा जस्तै हुनेछ ।
But as the days of Noe, so also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
38 किनकि ती दिनहरूमा जलप्रलय आउनुभन्दा अगि नोआ जहाजभित्र नपसुन्जेल तिनीहरू खाँदै र पिउँदै, विवाह गर्दै र विवाह गराउँदै थिए,
For as they were in the days which were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day on which Noe entered into the ark,
39 अनि प्रलय आएर तिनीहरू सबैलाई नलगुन्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूलाई केही पनि थाहा थिएन । मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
and they knew not till the flood came and took all away; thus also shall be the coming of the Son of man.
40 तब खेतमा दुई जना हुनेछन्– एक जना लगिनेछ, र अर्को यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
Then two shall be in the field, one is taken and one is left;
41 दुई जना स्त्री जाँतो पिँधिरहेका हुनेछन्– एउटी लगिनेछ र अर्की त्यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
two [women] grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
42 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू जागा रहो, किनकि तिमीहरूका प्रभु कुन दिन आउनुहुनेछ भन्ने कुरा तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन ।
Watch therefore, for ye know not in what hour your Lord comes.
43 तर यो जान, कि रातको कुन समयमा चोर आउँदै छ भन्ने कुरा घरको धनीलाई थाहा भएको भए, ऊ जागा बस्ने थियो र चोरलाई उसको घर फोर्न दिने थिएन ।
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be dug through [into].
44 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू पनि तयार हुनुपर्छ, किनकि मानिसका पुत्र तिमीहरूले आशा नगरेको बेलामा आउनुहुनेछ ।
Wherefore ye also, be ye ready, for in that hour that ye think not the Son of man comes.
45 त्यसैले, विश्वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् नोकर को हो, जसलाई उसको मालिकले आफ्नो घरका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका खाना ठिक समयमा तिनीहरूलाई दिनलाई नियुक्त गरेको छ?
Who then is the faithful and prudent bondman whom his lord has set over his household, to give them food in season?
46 त्यो नोकर धन्य हो, जसलाई उसको मालिक आउँदा त्यसै गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord on coming shall find doing thus.
47 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि मालिकले उसित भएका सबै कुराको जिम्मा उसलाई दिनेछ ।
Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all his substance.
48 तर यदि दुष्ट नोकरले त्यसको मनमा, ‘मेरो मालिक ढिला हुनुभएको छ’ भनी भन्दछ,
But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come,
49 अनि उसले आफ्ना सहकर्मी नोकरहरूलाई पिट्न थाल्छ, र मतवालाहरूसँग खान्छ र पिउँछ भने,
and begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and eat and drink with the drunken;
50 त्यस नोकरले आशा नगरेको दिनमा र त्यसलाई थाहा नभएको घडीमा त्यस नोकरको मालिक आउनेछ ।
the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of,
51 त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई दुई टुक्रा पारी काट्नेछ र त्यसको दशा ती पाखण्डीहरूको जस्तै हुनेछ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।
and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
