< मत्ती 24 >
1 ययेशू मन्दिरबाट बाहिर जानुभयो र उहाँ आफ्नो बाटोमा जाँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँलाई मन्दिरका भवनहरू देखाउन उहाँका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए ।
Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show 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 ।”
But he answered them, “You see all of these things, don’t you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will 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 )
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?” (aiōn )
4 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “होसियार रहो, कसैले तिमीहरूलाई नभड्काओस् ।”
Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 किनकि मेरो नाउँमा धेरै जना आउनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, ‘म नै ख्रीष्ट हुँ!’ र धेरैलाई भड्काउनेछन् ।
For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will lead many astray.
6 तिमीहरूले लडाइँ र लडाइँका हल्ला सुन्नेछौ । तर तिमीहरू, विचलित नहोओ, किनकि यी कुराहरू हुनैपर्छ; तर अझै अन्त आइसकेको हुँदैन ।
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren’t troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet.
7 किनकि जातिको विरुद्धमा जाति खडा हुनेछ, र राज्यको विरुद्धमा राज्य खडा हुनेछ । विभिन्न ठाउँमा अनिकाल हुनेछ र भूकम्पहरू जानेछन् ।
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places.
8 तर यी सबै कुरा प्रसव-वेदनाको सुरुवात मात्र हो ।
But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
9 तब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सङ्कष्टको लागि सुम्पनेछन् र तिमीहरूलाई मार्नेछन् । मेरो नामको खातिर सबै जातिद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गरिनेछ ।
“Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.
10 तब धेरै जनाले ठेस खानेछन्, र एक अर्कालाई धोका दिनेछन्, एक अर्कालाई घृणा गर्नेछन् ।
Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.
11 धेरै झुटा अगमवक्ता खडा हुनेछन् र धेरै जनालाई बहकाउनेछन् ।
Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
12 किनभने अधर्मको वृद्धि हुनेछ; धेरै जनाको प्रेम सेलाउनेछ ।
Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
13 तर जो अन्तसम्म स्थिर रहन्छ, उसले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14 राज्यको यो सुसमाचार सारा संसारमा सबै जातिलाई साक्षीको रूपमा प्रचार गरिनेछ । तब अन्त आउनेछ ।
This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
15 त्यसकारण, जब तिमीहरूले दानिएल अगमवक्ताले भनेका जस्तै त्यस विनाशकारी घृणित व्यक्तिलाई पवित्र स्थानमा उभिएको देख्छौ (पाठकले आफैँ बुझोस),
“When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16 जो यहूदियामा छन्, तिनीहरू पहाडहरूतिर भागून्,
then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
17 जो घरको छानामाथि छ, ऊ घरबाट कुनै सामान लिन तल नझरोस् ।
Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house.
18 र जो खेतमा छ, ऊ आफ्नो खास्टो लिन नफर्कोस् ।
Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes.
19 तर ती दिनमा हाय तिनीहरूलाई जो गर्भवती छन् र जसले शिशुहरूलाई दूध चुसाउँछन्!
But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days!
20 हिउँदमा वा शबाथको दिनमा तिमीहरू भाग्न नपरोस् भनी प्रार्थना गर ।
Pray that your flight will not be in the winter nor on a Sabbath,
21 किनकि त्यस बेला महासङ्कष्ट हुनेछ, जुन संसारको सुरुदेखि अहिलेसम्म कहिल्यै भएको छैन, न त कहिल्यै फेरि हुनेछ ।
for then there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be.
22 ती दिनहरू नघटाइएसम्म कुनै शरीर पनि बच्नेछैन । तर चुनिएकाहरूका निम्ति ती दिनहरू घटाइनेछन् ।
Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23 तब यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, ख्रीष्ट यहाँ छन्!’ वा, ‘ख्रीष्ट त्यहाँ छन्!’ भन्छ भने त्यसलाई विश्वास नगर ।
“Then if any man tells you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘There!’ don’t believe it.
24 किनकि झुटा ख्रीष्टहरू र झुटा अगमवक्ताहरू आउनेछन् र हुन सके, चुनिएकाहरूलाई समेत बहकाउनलाई ठुला-ठुला चिन्हहरू र चमत्कारहरू देखाउनेछन् ।
For false christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
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 tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.
27 किनकि जसरी बिजुली पूर्वबाट चम्कन्छ र पश्चिमसम्मै त्यसको उज्यालो पुग्दछ, मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 जहाँ सिनो छ, त्यहाँ गिद्धहरू भेला हुनेछन् ।
For wherever the carcass is, that is where the vultures gather together.
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 suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will 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 the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky 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 ।
He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 अन्जीरको बोटबाट पाठ सिक । जब त्यसका हाँगाहरू कलिला हुन्छन् र पातहरू पलाउँछन्, तब ग्रीष्म ऋतु आउँदै छ भनेर तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउँछौ ।
“Now from the fig tree learn this parable: When its branch has now become tender and produces its leaves, you 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 ।
Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
34 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यी सबै कुरा नभएसम्म यो पुस्ता बितेर जानेछैन ।
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things are accomplished.
35 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जानेछ, तर मेरा वचन बितेर जानेछैनन् ।
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not 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 no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि नोआका दिनमा जस्तै हुनेछ ।
As the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 किनकि ती दिनहरूमा जलप्रलय आउनुभन्दा अगि नोआ जहाजभित्र नपसुन्जेल तिनीहरू खाँदै र पिउँदै, विवाह गर्दै र विवाह गराउँदै थिए,
For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship,
39 अनि प्रलय आएर तिनीहरू सबैलाई नलगुन्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूलाई केही पनि थाहा थिएन । मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
and they didn’t know until the flood came and took them all away, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
40 तब खेतमा दुई जना हुनेछन्– एक जना लगिनेछ, र अर्को यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left.
41 दुई जना स्त्री जाँतो पिँधिरहेका हुनेछन्– एउटी लगिनेछ र अर्की त्यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one will be left.
42 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू जागा रहो, किनकि तिमीहरूका प्रभु कुन दिन आउनुहुनेछ भन्ने कुरा तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन ।
Watch therefore, for you don’t know 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 of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू पनि तयार हुनुपर्छ, किनकि मानिसका पुत्र तिमीहरूले आशा नगरेको बेलामा आउनुहुनेछ ।
Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don’t expect, the Son of Man will come.
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 wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
46 त्यो नोकर धन्य हो, जसलाई उसको मालिक आउँदा त्यसै गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes.
47 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि मालिकले उसित भएका सबै कुराको जिम्मा उसलाई दिनेछ ।
Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.
48 तर यदि दुष्ट नोकरले त्यसको मनमा, ‘मेरो मालिक ढिला हुनुभएको छ’ भनी भन्दछ,
But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My lord is delaying his coming,’
49 अनि उसले आफ्ना सहकर्मी नोकरहरूलाई पिट्न थाल्छ, र मतवालाहरूसँग खान्छ र पिउँछ भने,
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards,
50 त्यस नोकरले आशा नगरेको दिनमा र त्यसलाई थाहा नभएको घडीमा त्यस नोकरको मालिक आउनेछ ।
the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn’t expect it and in an hour when he doesn’t know it,
51 त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई दुई टुक्रा पारी काट्नेछ र त्यसको दशा ती पाखण्डीहरूको जस्तै हुनेछ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।
and will cut him in pieces and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.
