मत्ती 27
1 अब जब बिहान भयो, सबै मुख्य पुजारीहरू र मानिसका एल्डरहरूले येशूलाई मार्न उहाँको विरुद्ध षड्यन्त्र रचे ।
At daybreak all the chief priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus, to bring about his death.
2 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई बाँधेर त्यहाँबाट लागे, र हाकिम पिलातसकहाँ सुम्पिदिए ।
They put him in chains and led him away, and gave him up to the Roman Governor, Pilate.
3 त्यसपछि जब उहाँलाई धोका दिने यहूदाले येशूलाई दण्डाज्ञा भएको देख्यो, त्यसलाई पछुतो लाग्यो र मुख्य पुजारीहरू र एल्डरहरूलाई ती चाँदीका तिसवटा सिक्का फर्काइदियो,
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that Jesus was condemned, repented of what he had done, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
4 र भन्यो, “मैले निर्दोष मानिसलाई धोका दिएर पाप गरेको छु” । तर तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीलाई त्यसको के सरोकार? तिमी आफैँ जान ।”
‘I did wrong in betraying a good man to his death,’ he said. ‘What has that to do with us?’ they replied. ‘You must see to that yourself.’
5 अनि त्यसले ती चाँदीका सिक्काहरू मन्दिरमा फ्याँकेर त्यहाँबाट बाहिर गयो र झुण्डिएर मर्यो ।
Judas flung down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and left; and went away and hanged himself.
6 ती मुख्य पुजारीहरूले चाँदीका सिक्काहरू लिए र भने, “यसलाई ढुकुटीमा राख्न न्यायसङ्गत हुँदैन, किनकि यो रगतको मोल हो ।”
The chief priests took the pieces of silver, but they said, ‘We must not put them into the Temple treasury, because they are blood-money.’
7 तिनीहरूले आपसमा यसबारे छलफल गरे र त्यस पैसाले परदेशीहरूलाई दफन गर्न कुमालेको जमिन किने ।
So, after consultation, they used it to buy the “Potter’s Field” as a burial ground for foreigners,
8 यही कारणले त्यस जमिनलाई आजको दिनसम्म पनि “रगतको जमिन” भनिन्छ ।
and that is why that field is called the “Field of Blood” to this very day.
9 यसरी यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले भनेका वचन पुरा भयो, “इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले उहाँको निम्ति तोकेका मूल्य अर्थात् चाँदीका तिसवटा सिक्का तिनीहरूले लिए,
Then it was that these words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah were fulfilled – “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
10 र परमप्रभुले मलाई निर्देशन दिनुभएअनुसार तिनीहरूले कुमालेको जमिनको निम्ति त्यो दिए ।”
and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
11 अब येशू ती हाकिमको अगाडि उभिनुभयो, र हाकिमले उहाँलाई सोधे, “के तिमी यहूदीहरूका राजा हौ?” येशूले तिनलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “तपाईंले नै त्यसो भन्नुहुन्छ?”
Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Roman Governor. ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ asked the Governor. ‘It is true,’ answered Jesus.
12 तर जब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र एल्डरहरूद्वारा उहाँलाई दोष लगाइयो, उहाँले केही जवाफ दिनुभएन ।
While charges were being brought against him by the chief priests and elders, Jesus made no reply.
13 अनि पिलातसले उहाँलाई भने, “के तिम्रो विरुद्धमा लगाइएका सबै अभियोग तिमीले सुनेनौ?”
Then Pilate said to him, ‘Don’t you hear how many accusations they are making against you?’
14 तर उहाँले एउटै पनि जवाफ दिनुभएन । त्यसकारण, ती हाकिम बडो आश्चर्यचकित भए ।
Yet Jesus made no reply – not even a single word; at which the Governor was greatly astonished.
15 अब चाडको दिनमा भिडद्वारा चुनिएको एक जना कैदीलाई छोडिदिने हाकिमको प्रथा थियो ।
Now, at the feast, the Governor was accustomed to grant the people the release of any one prisoner whom they might choose.
16 त्यस समयमा तिनीहरूसँग बारब्बा नाम गरेको एउटा कुख्यात कैदी थियो ।
At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 त्यसैले, जब तिनीहरू आपसमा भेला भए, पिलातसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति कसलाई मुक्त गरिदिएको तिमीहरू चाहन्छौ– बारब्बा कि येशू जसलाई ख्रीष्ट भनिन्छ?”
So, when the people had collected, Pilate said to them, ‘Which do you wish me to release for you? Barabbas? Or Jesus who is called “Christ”?’
18 किनकि उनलाई थाहा थियो, कि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई तिनीकहाँ ईर्ष्याको कारणले गर्दा सुम्पेका थिए ।
For he knew that it was out of jealousy that they had given Jesus up to him.
19 जब उनी न्यायकर्ताको आसनमा बसिरहेका थिए, उनकी पत्नीले उनलाई सन्देश पठाइन् र भनिन्, “ती निर्दोष मानिसलाई केही नगर्नुहोस्, किनकि उनको कारणले गर्दा आज मैले सपनामा निकै दुःख भोगेकी छु ।”
While he was still on the Bench, his wife sent this message to him – ‘Do not have anything to do with that good man, for I have been very much troubled today in a dream because of him.’
20 तब मुख्य पुजारीहरू र एल्डरहरूले बारब्बालाई छोड्न र येशूलाई मार्नको निम्ति भिडलाई राजी गराए ।
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to kill Jesus.
21 ती हाकिमले तिनीहरूलाई सोधे, “यी दुईमध्ये मैले तिमीहरूका निम्ति कसलाई मुक्त गरेको तिमीहरू चाहन्छौ?” तिनीहरूले भने, “बारब्बा ।”
The Governor, however, said to them, ‘Which of these two do you wish me to release for you?’ ‘Barabbas,’ they answered.
22 पिलातसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “ख्रीष्ट भनिने येशूलाई चाहिँ म के गरूँ?” तिनीहरू सबैले जवाफ दिए, “त्यसलाई क्रुसमा झुन्ड्याउनुहोस् ।”
‘What then,’ Pilate asked, ‘should I do with Jesus who is called “Christ?”’ ‘Crucify him,’ they all replied.
23 र उनले भने, “किन, उनले के अपराध गरेका छन्?” तर तिनीहरू झन् चर्को स्वरले यसो भनी कराए, “त्यसलाई क्रुसमा झुन्ड्याउनुहोस् ।”
‘Why, what harm has he done?’ he asked. But they kept shouting furiously, ‘Crucify him!’
24 जब, पिलातसले आफूले केही गर्न नसक्ने देखे, बरु खैलाबैला मच्चिन लागेको थाहा पाएर, उनले पानी लिई भिडको सामु आफ्ना हात धोए र भने, “यी निर्दोष मानिसको रगतदेखि म निर्दोष छु । तिमीहरू आफैँ जान ।”
When Pilate saw that his efforts were unavailing, but that, on the contrary, a riot was beginning, he took some water, and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying as he did so, ‘I am not answerable for this bloodshed; you must see to it yourselves.’
25 सबै मानिसले भने, “उसको रगत हामी र हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरूमाथि परोस् ।”
And all the people answered, ‘His blood be on our heads and on our children’s!’
26 अनि उनले बारब्बालाई तिनीहरूका निम्ति छोडिदिए, तर उनले येशूलाई कोर्रा लगाए र क्रुसमा झुन्ड्याउनको निम्ति सुम्पिदिए ।
Then Pilate released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he had scourged, and gave him up to be crucified.
27 अनि ती हाकिमका सेनाहरूले येशूलाई महलमा लगे र सेनाहरूको सारा पल्टनलाई भेला गराए ।
After that, the Governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Government house, and gathered the whole garrison round him.
28 तिनीहरूले उहाँको वस्त्र खोलिदिए र उनलाई लाल वस्त्र लगाइदिए ।
They stripped him, and put on him a red military cloak,
29 तिनीहरूले काँडाहरूको एउटा मुकुट बनाए र उहाँको शिरमा लगाइदिए, र उहाँको दाहिने हातमा एउटा लौरो राखिदिए । तिनीहरूले उहाँको सामु घुँडा टेके र यसो भन्दै उहाँको गिल्ला गरे, “यहूदीहरूका राजालाई प्रणाम!”
and having twisted some thorns into a crown, put it on his head, and a rod in his right hand, and then, going down on their knees before him, they mocked him. ‘Long life to you, king of the Jews!’ they said.
30 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई थुके, र तिनीहरूले लौरो लिए र उहाँको शिरमा हिर्काए ।
They spat at him and, taking the rod, kept striking him on the head;
31 तिनीहरूले उहाँको गिल्ला गरिसकेपछि तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पहिराइदिएको वस्त्र खोलिदिए र उहाँको आफ्नै लुगा लगाइदिए, र उहाँलाई क्रुसमा झुन्ड्याउन त्यहाँबाट लगे ।
and, when they had left off mocking him, they took off the military cloak, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to be crucified.
32 जब तिनीहरू बाहिर आए, तिनीहरूले सिमोन नाउँ गरेको कुरेनीको एक जना मानिसलाई भेट्टाए, जसलाई उनीहरूसँग जान तिनीहरूले कर गरे ताकि उसले उहाँको क्रुस बोकोस् ।
As they were on their way out, they came upon a man from Cyrene called Simon, and they compelled him to go with them to carry the cross.
33 तिनीहरू गलगथा भन्ने ठाउँमा आइपुगे, जसको अर्थ “खोपडीको स्थान” हो ।
On reaching a place named Golgotha (a place named from its likeness to a skull),
34 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई पित्त मिसिएको दाखमद्य पिउन दिए । तर जब उहाँले त्यो चाख्नुभयो, उहाँले त्यो पिउनुभएन ।
they gave him some wine to drink which had been mixed with gall; but after tasting it, Jesus refused to drink it.
35 जब उनीहरूले उहाँलाई क्रुसमा टाँगे, तिनीहरूले चिट्ठा हाले र उहाँका वस्त्रहरूलाई भाग लगाए ।
When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots.
36 अनि तिनीहरू बसे र उहाँलाई हेरे ।
Then they sat down, and kept watch over him there.
37 उहाँको शिरमाथि यसो भनिएको अभियोग लेखिएको थियो, “यिनी येशू हुन्, यहूदीहरूका राजा ।”
Above his head they fixed the accusation against him written out – “THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
38 दुई जना डाँकु उहाँसँगै क्रुसमा टाँगिएका थिए– एउटा उहाँको दायाँपट्टि र अर्को उहाँको बायाँपट्टि ।”
At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right, the other on the left.
39 जो त्यो बाटो भएर जान्थे, तिनीहरूले यसो भन्दै टाउको हल्लाएर उहाँको गिल्ला गर्थे,
The passers-by railed at him, shaking their heads as they said,
40 “तिमी जसले मन्दिरलाई भत्काएर तिन दिनमा बनाउन गइरहेका थियौ, आफैँलाई बचाऊ! यदि तिमी परमेश्वरका पुत्र हौ भने, क्रुसबाट तल ओर्ल!”
‘You who would “destroy the Temple and build one in three days,” save yourself! If you are God’s Son, come down from the cross!’
41 यसरी नै मुख्य पुजारीहरूले पनि शास्त्रीहरू र एल्डरहरूसँगसँगै उहाँको गिल्ला गरे र भने,
In the same way the chief priests, with the Teachers of the Law and elders, said in mockery,
42 “उसले अरूहरूलाई बचायो, तर आफैँलाई भने बचाउन सक्दैन । ऊ इस्राएलको राजा हो । ऊ क्रुसबाट तल आओस्, अनि त्यसपछि हामी उसमाथि विश्वास गर्नेछौँ ।
‘He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the “king of Israel”! Why doesn’t he come down from the cross now, then we will believe in him.
43 उसले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गर्छ । र परमेश्वरले चाहनुहुन्छ भने उहाँले नै उसलाई बचाऊन्, किनकि उसले यस्तो भनेको थियो, ‘म परमेश्वरका पुत्र हुँ ।’”
He has trusted in God; if God wants him, let him deliver him now; for he said “I am God’s Son.”’
44 र उहाँसँगै क्रुसमा टाँगिएका डाँकुहरूले पनि उस्तै तरिकाले उहाँको गिल्ला गरे ।
Even the robbers, who were crucified with him, insulted him in the same way.
45 अब मध्यान्नदेखि दिउँसो तिन बजेसम्म सारा देशलाई अन्धकारले ढाक्यो ।
After midday a darkness came over all the country, lasting until three in the afternoon.
46 तिन बजे येशू ठुलो स्वरले कराउनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “इलोई, इलोई लामा सबखथनी?” जसको अर्थ हो, “मेरा परमेश्वर, मेरा परमेश्वर, तपाईंले मलाई किन त्याग्नुभएको छ?”
About three Jesus called out loudly, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabacthani’ – that is to say, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
47 जब त्यहाँ उभिरहेकाहरूमध्ये केहीले यो सुने, तिनीहरूले भने, “यसले एलियालाई बोलाउँदै छ ।”
Some of those standing by heard this, and said, ‘The man is calling for Elijah!’
48 झट्टै तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना दौडेर गयो र एउटा स्पन्ज लियो, त्यसलाई अमिलो दाखमद्यले भर्यो, त्यसलाई निगालोमा राखी उहाँलाई पिउन दियो ।
One of them immediately ran and took a sponge, and, filling it with common wine, put it on the end of a rod, and offered it to him to drink.
49 अरूहरूले चाहीँ भने, “उसलाई एकलै छोडिदेऊ । उसलाई बचाउन एलिया आउँछन् कि आउँदैनन् हामीलाई हेर्न देऊ ।”
But the rest said, ‘Wait and let us see if Elijah is coming to save him.’
50 त्यसपछि येशू फेरि ठुलो स्वरले कराउनुभयो र आफ्नो प्राण त्याग्नुभयो ।
But Jesus, uttering another loud cry, gave up his spirit.
51 हेर, मन्दिरको पर्दा टुप्पोदेखि फेदसम्म दुई भाग भएर च्यातियो । र पृथ्वी हल्लियो र चट्टानहरू टुक्रिए ।
Suddenly the Temple curtain was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks were torn asunder,
52 चिहानहरू उघारिए, र धेरै पवित्र जनहरूका मृत शरीरहरू उठाइए, जो निन्द्रामा परेका थिए ।
the tombs opened, and the bodies of many of God’s people who had fallen asleep rose,
53 उहाँको पुनरुत्थानपछि तिनीहरू चिहानबाट बाहिर निस्के; पवित्र सहरमा प्रवेश गरे, र धेरैका माझमा देखा परे ।
and they, leaving their tombs, went, after the resurrection of Jesus, into the Holy City, and appeared to many people.
54 अब जब कप्तान र येशूलाई हेरिरहेकाहरूले भूकम्प गएको र त्यहाँ भएका घटनाहरू देखे, तिनीहरू धेरै भयभीत भए र भने, “साँच्चै यिनी त परमेश्वरका पुत्र रहेछन् ।”
The Roman centurion, and the men with him who were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake and all that was happening, became greatly frightened and exclaimed, ‘This must indeed have been God’s Son!’
55 गालीलबाट येशूको हेरचाह गर्न उहाँलाई पछ्याइरहेका धेरै महिलाहरूले टाढाबाट त्यो हेरिरहेका थिए ।
There were many women there, watching from a distance, who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee and had been attending on him.
56 तिनीहरूमध्ये मरियम मग्दलिनी, याकूब र योसेफकी आमा मरियम, र जब्दियाका छोराहरूकी आमा थिए ।
Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.
57 जब साँझ पर्यो, अरिमाथियाबाट एक जना धनी मानिस आए, जसको नाम योसेफ थियो, जो येशूका चेला थिए ।
When evening had fallen, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.
58 तिनी पिलातसकहाँ गए र तिनले येशूको शरीर मागे । अनि पिलातसले सो तिनलाई दिइयोस् भनेर आदेश दिए ।
He went to see Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate ordered it to be given him.
59 योसेफले शरीर लिए, र त्यसलाई सफा मलमलको कपडामा बेरे,
So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen sheet,
60 र उनले आफैँले चट्टान खोपेर बनाएका नयाँ चिहानमा राखे । अनि उनले चिहानको मुखमा एउटा ठुलो ढुङ्गा गुडाइदिएर तिनी त्यहाँबाट गए ।
and laid it in his newly made tomb which he had cut in the rock; and, before he left, he rolled a great stone against the entrance of the tomb.
61 मरियम मग्दिलिनी र अर्की मरियम पनि त्यही चिहानको अर्कोपट्टि बसिरहेका थिए ।
Mary of Magdala and the other Mary remained behind, sitting in front of the grave.
62 अर्को दिन जुन तयारीको दिनको भोलिपल्ट थियो, मुख्य पुजारीहरू र फरिसीहरू पिलातससँग भेला भएका थिए ।
The next day – that is, the day following the Preparation-day – the chief priests and Pharisees came in a body to Pilate, and said,
63 तिनीहरूले भने, “हजुर, हामीलाई सम्झना छ, कि त्यो ठगाहा जिउँदो हुँदा त्यसले भनेको थियो, ‘तिन दिनपछि म फेरि उठ्नेछु ।’
‘Sir, we remember that, during his lifetime, that impostor said “I will rise after three days.”
64 त्यसकारण, तेस्रो दिनसम्म त्यो चिहान सुरक्षित राख्नलाई हुकुम गर्नुहोस् । नत्रता त्यसका चेलाहरू आउलान् र उनलाई चोरेर लगेर मानिसहरूलाई भन्लान्, ‘उहाँ मृतकहरूबाट जीवित हुनुभएको छ ।’ अनि यो अन्तिम धोका पहिलेको भन्दा झन् नराम्रो हुनेछ ।”
So order the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him, and then say to the people “He has risen from the dead,” when the latest imposture will be worse than the first.’
65 पिलातसले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “एक जना पहरेदार लेऊ । जाऊ र त्यसलाई तिमीहरूले सकेसम्म सुरक्षित राख ।”
‘You may have a guard,’ was Pilate’s reply. ‘Go and make the tomb as secure as you can.’
66 त्यसैले, तिनीहरू गए र ढुङ्गामा मोहर लगाए र पहरेदारहरू खटाएर चिहानलाई सुरक्षित राखे ।
So they went and made the tomb secure, by sealing the stone, in presence of the guard.
