मत्ती 25
1 तब स्वर्गको राज्य ती दस कन्याजस्तै हुनेछ जसले आ-आफ्ना बत्तीहरू लिएर दुलहालाई भेट्न गए ।
"Then will the Kingdom of the Heavens be found to be like ten bridesmaids who took their torches and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 तिनीहरूमध्ये पाँच जना निर्बुद्धि र पाँच जना बुद्धिमती थिए ।
Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3 किनकि जब ती निर्बुद्धि कन्याहरूले आफ्ना बत्तीहरू लिए, तिनीहरूले आफूसँग कत्ति पनि तेल लगेनन् ।
For the foolish, when they took their torches, did not provide themselves with oil;
4 तर बुद्धिमती कन्याहरू प्रत्येकले बत्तीहरूसँगै आ-आफ्ना तेलका भाँडाहरू पनि लगे ।
but the wise, besides their torches, took oil in their flasks.
5 दुलहा आउन ढिला भएको हुनाले तिनीहरू सबै निन्द्रामा परे र सुते ।
The bridegroom was a long time in coming, so that meanwhile they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 तर मध्यरातमा एउटा आवाज आयो, ‘हेर, दुलहा! बाहिर जाऊ अनि उनलाई भेट ।’
But at midnight there is a loud cry, "'The bridegroom! Go out and meet him!'
7 त्यसपछि ती सबै कन्या उठे र आ-आफ्ना बत्तीहरूलाई ठिक्क पारे ।
"Then all those bridesmaids roused themselves and trimmed their torches.
8 निर्बुद्धि कन्याहरूले बुद्धिमतीहरूलाई भने, ‘हामीलाई तिमीहरूका केही तेल देऊ किनभने हाम्रा बत्तीहरू निभ्न लागेका छन् ।’
"'Give us some of your oil,' said the foolish ones to the wise, 'for our torches are going out.'
9 तर बुद्धिमती कन्याहरूले जवाफ दिए र भने, ‘तिमीहरू र हामी दुवैलाई प्रशस्त पुग्ने तेल नभएकोले, तेल बेच्नेहरूकहाँ जाओ र आफ्नो लागि तेल किन ।’
"'But perhaps,' replied the wise, 'there will not be enough for all of us. Go to the shops rather, and buy some for yourselves.'
10 जब तिनीहरू तेल किन्न बाहिर गए, दुलहा आइपुगे अनि जति जना तयार थिए तिनीहरू विवाहको भोजमा उनीसँगै गए, अनि ढोका बन्द गरियो ।
"So they went to buy. But meanwhile the bridegroom came; those bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet; and the door was shut.
11 केही समयपछि अरू कन्याहरू पनि आएर भने, ‘प्रभु, प्रभु, हाम्रो लागि खोलिदिनुहोस् ।’
"Afterwards the other bridesmaids came and cried, "'Sir, Sir, open the door to us.'
12 तर उनले जवाफ दिएर भने, ‘साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, म तिमीहरूलाई चिन्दिनँ ।’
"'In solemn truth I tell you,' he replied, 'I do not know you.'
13 त्यसकारण, जागा रहो, किनकि त्यो दिन वा घडी तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन ।
"Keep awake therefore; for you know neither the day nor the hour.
14 किनकि यो परदेश जानै लागेको मानिसजस्तै हो । उसले आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई बोलाए र तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो सम्पत्तिको जिम्मा दिए ।
"Why, it is like a man who, when going on his travels, called his bondservants and entrusted his property to their care.
15 उनले तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जनालाई पाँच सिक्का दिए; अर्कोलाई दुई सिक्का र फेरि अर्कोलाई उनले एक सिक्का दिए । प्रत्यकले आफ्नो क्षमताअनुसार ती रकमहरू लिए, अनि त्यो मानिस तुरुन्तै आफ्नो यात्रामा हिँड्यो ।
To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one--to each according to his individual capacity; and then started from home.
16 पाँच सिक्का पाउने तुरुन्तै गयो र उसले त्यसलाई लगानी गर्यो, र त्यसबाट अर्को पाँच सिक्का कमायो ।
Without delay the one who had received the five talents went and employed them in business, and gained five more.
17 त्यसै गरी, जसले दुई सिक्का पाएको थियो, उसले पनि त्यसबाट अर्का दुई सिक्का कमायो ।
In the same way he who had the two gained two more.
18 तर एउटा मात्र सिक्का पाएको नोकर गयो र उसले एउटा खाल्डो खन्यो, र आफ्नो मालिकको पैसा त्यहाँ लुकायो ।
But the man who had received the one went and dug a hole and buried his master's money.
19 अब धेरै समयपछि ती नोकरहरूका मालिक फर्केर आए अनि तिनीहरूसँग हिसाब लिए ।
"After a long lapse of time the master of those servants returned, and had a reckoning with them.
20 पाँच सिक्का पाएको नोकर आयो र उसले अर्को पाँचवटा सिक्का ल्यायो । उसले भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंले मलाई पाँचवटा सिक्का दिनुभएको थियो, हेर्नुहोस्, मैले अर्का पाँचवटा सिक्का कमाएको छु ।’
The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, and said, "'Sir, it was five talents that you entrusted to me: see, I have gained five more.'
21 उसको मालिकले उसलाई भने, ‘स्याबास, असल र विश्वासयोग्य नोकर! तिमी थोरै कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएका छौ । म तिमीलाई धेरै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिनेछु । तिमी पनि आफ्नो मालिकको खुसीमा सामेल होऊ ।’
"'You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,' replied his master; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
22 दुईवटा सिक्का पाएको नोकर आयो र भन्यो, ‘मालिक तपाईंले मलाई दुईवटा सिक्का दिनुभएको थियो । हेर्नुहोस्, मैले अर्का दुईवटा सिक्का कमाएको छु ।’
"The second, who had received the two talents, came and said, "'Sir, it was two talents you entrusted to me: see, I have gained two more.'
23 उसको मालिकले उसलाई भने, ‘स्याबास, असल र विश्वासयोग्य नोकर! तिमी थोरै कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएका छौ । म तिमीलाई धेरै कुरामाथि अधिकार दिनेछु । तिमी पनि आफ्ना मालिकको खुसीमा सामेल होऊ ।’
"'Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'
24 त्यसपछि एउटा सिक्का पाएको नोकर आयो र भन्यो, ‘मलाई थाहा छ, कि तपाईं कडा स्वभावको मानिस हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंले आफूले नरोपेको ठाउँबाट कटनी गर्नुहुन्छ र नछरेको ठाउँबाट फसल निकाल्नुहुन्छ ।
"But, next, the man who had the one talent in his keeping came and said, "'Sir, I knew you to be a severe man, reaping where you had not sown and garnering what you had not winnowed.
25 मलाई डर थियो । त्यसकारण, म गएँ र तपाईंको सिक्कालाई जमिनमुनि लुकाइराखेँ । ‘हेर्नुहोस्, जे तपाईंको हो यसलाई लिनुहोस् ।’
So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
26 तर उसको मालिकले जवाफ दिए र भने, ‘ए दुष्ट र अल्छी नोकर, मैले नरोपेको ठाउँबाट कटनी गर्छु र नछरेको ठाउँबाट फसल निकाल्छु भनेर तँलाई थाहा थियो ।
"'You wicked and slothful servant,' replied his master, 'did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and garner what I have not winnowed?
27 त्यसकारण, तैँले मेरो पैसा साहुकहाँ दिनुपर्ने थियो, र म आउँदा मैले आफ्नो पैसा ब्याजसहित पाउने थिएँ ।
Your duty then was to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I came I should have got back my property with interest.
28 त्यसकारण, त्योसँग भएको एक सिक्का लेओ र जुन नोकरसँग दस सिक्का छ त्यसलाई देओ ।
So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'
29 किनकि जससँग छ त्यसलाई अझ धेरै दिइनेछ अर्थात् अझ प्रशस्त गरी दिइनेछ । तर जससँग छैन, त्यससँग भएको पनि त्यसबाट खोसिनेछ ।
(For to every one who has, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who has nothing, even what he has shall be taken away.)
30 त्यो बेकम्मा नोकरलाई बाहिरी अन्धकारमा फालिदेओ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।’
'But as for this worthless servant, put him out into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.'
31 जब मानिसका पुत्र आफ्नो महिमामा आउनेछन् र उनको साथमा सारा स्वर्गदूतहरू आउनेछन्, उनी आफ्नो महिमित सिंहासनमा विराजमान हुनेछन् ।
"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then will He sit upon His glorious throne,
32 उनको सामुन्ने सारा जाति भेला गराइनेछन्, र जसरी गोठालाले आफ्ना भेडाहरूलाई बाख्राहरूबाट छुट्ट्याउँछ, त्यसरी नै उनले एउटा मानिसलाई अर्कोबाट छुट्ट्याउनेछन् ।
and all the nations will be gathered into His presence. And He will separate them from one another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 उनले भेडाहरूलाई आफ्नो दायाँ हातपट्टि र बाख्राहरूलाई आफ्नो बायाँपट्टि राख्नेछन् ।
and will make the sheep stand at His right hand, and the goats at His left.
34 त्यसपछि राजाले आफ्नो दाहिनेपट्टि भएकाहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, ‘आओ, तिमीहरू जो मेरा पिताद्वारा आशिषित् भएका छौ, संसारको सृष्टिदेखि नै तिमीहरूका लागि तयार पारिएको राज्यलाई अधिकार गर ।
"Then the King will say to those at His right, "'Come, my Father's blessed ones, receive your inheritance of the Kingdom which has been divinely intended for you ever since the creation of the world.
35 किनकि म भोकाएको थिएँ, अनि तिमीहरूले मलाई खान दियौ; म प्यासी थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मलाई पिउन दियौ; म परदेशी थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मलाई भित्र आउन दियौ;
For when I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me drink; when I was homeless, you gave me a welcome;
36 म नाङ्गो थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मलाई लुगा पहिराइदियौ; म बिरामी थिएँ र तिमीहरूले मेरो वास्ता गर्यौ; म झ्यालखानामा थिएँ र तिमीहरू मकहाँ आयौ ।’
when I was ill-clad, you clothed me; when I was sick, you visited me; when I was in prison, you came to see me.'
37 त्यसपछि धर्मी जनहरूले जवाफ दिई भन्नेछन्, ‘प्रभु हामीले कहिले तपाईंलाई भोकाउनुभएको देख्यौँ र तपाईंलाई खुवायौँ? वा तिर्खाउनुभएको देख्यौँ र तपाईंलाई पिउन दियौँ?
"'When, Lord,' the righteous will reply, 'did we see Thee hungry, and feed Thee; or thirsty, and give Thee drink?
38 र हामीले कहिले तपाईंलाई परदेशी भएको देख्यौँ र तपाईंलाई भित्र ल्यायौँ?
When did we see Thee homeless, and give Thee a welcome? or ill-clad, and clothe Thee?
39 र हामीले तपाईंलाई बिरामी वा झ्यालखानामा कहिले देख्यौँ र हामी तपाईंकहाँ आयौँ?’
When did we see Thee sick or in prison, and come to see Thee?'
40 र राजाले जवाफ दिनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, ‘साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूले यहाँ मेरा भाइहरूमध्ये सानोभन्दा सानोलाई जे-जति गर्यौ, त्यो मेरो निम्ति नै गर्यौ ।’
"But the King will answer them, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you rendered such services to one of the humblest of these my brethren, you rendered them to myself.'
41 त्यसपछि उनले आफ्नो बायाँ हातपट्टि भएकाहरूलाई भन्नेछन्, ‘हे श्रापितहरू, मबाट दूर भएर अनन्त आगोमा जाओ, जुन दुष्ट र त्यसका दूतहरूका लागि तयार गरिएको हो, (aiōnios g166)
"Then will He say to those at His left, "'Begone from me, with the curse resting upon you, into the Fire of the Ages, which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels. (aiōnios g166)
42 किनभने म भोकाएको थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई खान दिएनौ; म तिर्खाएको थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई पिउन दिएनौ;
For when I was hungry, you gave me nothing to eat; when thirsty, you gave me nothing to drink;
43 म परदेशी थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई भित्र लगेनौ; नाङ्गो थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मलाई पहिराएनौ; बिरामी थिएँ र झ्यालखानामा थिएँ, तर तिमीहरूले मेरो वास्ता गरेनौ ।’
when homeless, you gave me no welcome; ill-clad, you clothed me not; sick or in prison, you visited me not.'
44 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले पनि जवाफ दिनेछन् र भन्नेछन्, ‘प्रभु, हामीले तपाईंलाई भोकाउनुभएको, वा तिर्खाउनुभएको, वा परदेशी, वा नाङ्गो, वा बिरामी हुनुभएको, वा झ्यालखानामा कहिले देख्यौँ र हामीले तपाईंको सेवा गरेनौँ?’
"Then will they also answer, "'Lord, when did we see Thee hungry or thirsty or homeless or ill-clad or sick or in prison, and not come to serve Thee?'
45 अनि उनले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनेछन् र भन्नेछन्, ‘साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यिनीहरूमध्ये सानोभन्दा सानोलाई तिमीहरूले जे गरेनौ, त्यो तिमीहरूले मेरो निम्ति गरेनौ ।’
"But he will reply, "'In solemn truth I tell you that in so far as you withheld such services from one of the humblest of these, you withheld them from me.'
