लूका 17
1 फिर उसने अपने शागिर्दों से कहा, “ये नहीं हो सकता कि ठोकरें न लगें, लेकिन उस पर अफ़सोस है कि जिसकी वजह से लगें।
[One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
2 इन छोटों में से एक को ठोकर खिलाने की बनिस्बत, उस शख़्स के लिए ये बेहतर होता है कि चक्की का पाट उसके गले में लटकाया जाता और वो समुन्दर में फेंका जाता।
Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
3 ख़बरदार रहो! अगर तेरा भाई गुनाह करे तो उसे डांट दे, अगर वो तौबा करे तो उसे मु'आफ़ कर।
Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
4 और वो एक दिन में सात दफ़ा'' तेरा गुनाह करे और सातों दफ़ा' तेरे पास फिर आकर कहे कि तौबा करता हूँ, तो उसे मु'आफ़ कर।“
Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
5 इस पर रसूलों ने ख़ुदावन्द से कहा, “हमारे ईमान को बढ़ा।”
[One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
6 ख़ुदावन्द ने कहा, “अगर तुम में राई के दाने के बराबर भी ईमान होता और तुम इस तूत के दरख़्त से कहते, कि जड़ से उखड़ कर समुन्दर में जा लग, तो तुम्हारी मानता।”
The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
7 “मगर तुम में ऐसा कौन है, जिसका नौकर हल जोतता या भेड़ें चराता हो, और जब वो खेत से आए तो उससे कहे, जल्द आकर खाना खाने बैठ!'
[Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
8 और ये न कहे, 'मेरा खाना तैयार कर, और जब तक मैं खाउँ — पियूँ कमर बाँध कर मेरी ख़िदमत कर; उसके बाद तू भी खा पी लेना'?
Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
9 क्या वो इसलिए उस नौकर का एहसान मानेगा कि उसने उन बातों को जिनका हुक्म हुआ ता'मील की?
(You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
10 इसी तरह तुम भी जब उन सब बातों की, जिनका तुम को हुक्म हुआ ता'मील कर चुको, तो कहो, 'हम निकम्मे नौकर हैं जो हम पर करना फ़र्ज़ था वही किया है'।“
Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
11 और अगर ऐसा कि येरूशलेम को जाते हुए वो सामरिया और गलील के बीच से होकर जा रहा था
As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
12 और एक गाँव में दाख़िल होते वक़्त दस कौढ़ी उसको मिले।
As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
13 उन्होंने दूर खड़े होकर बुलन्द आवाज़ से कहा, ऐ ईसा! ऐ ख़ुदावन्द! हम पर रहम कर।
and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
14 उसने उन्हें देखकर कहा, “जाओ! अपने आपको काहिनों को दिखाओ!” और ऐसा हुआ कि वो जाते — जाते पाक साफ़ हो गए।
When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
15 फिर उनमें से एक ये देखकर कि मैं शिफ़ा पा गया हूँ, बुलन्द आवाज़ से ख़ुदा की बड़ाई करता हुआ लौटा;
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
16 और मुँह के बल ईसा के पाँव पर गिरकर उसका शुक्र करने लगा; और वो सामरी था।
He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
17 ईसा ने जवाब में कहा, “क्या दसों पाक साफ़ न हुए; फिर वो नौ कहाँ है?
Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
18 क्या इस परदेसी के सिवा और न निकले जो लौटकर ख़ुदा की बड़ाई करते?”
I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
19 फिर उससे कहा, “उठ कर चला जा! तेरे ईमान ने तुझे अच्छा किया है।”
Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
20 जब फ़रीसियों ने उससे पूछा कि ख़ुदा की बादशाही कब आएगी, तो उसने जवाब में उनसे कहा, “ख़ुदा की बादशाही ज़ाहिरी तौर पर न आएगी।
[One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
21 और लोग ये न कहेंगे, 'देखो, यहाँ है या वहाँ है!' क्यूँकि देखो, ख़ुदा की बादशाही तुम्हारे बीच है।”
And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
22 उसने शागिर्दों से कहा, “वो दिन आएँगे, कि तुम इब्न — ए — आदम के दिनों में से एक दिन को देखने की आरज़ू होगी, और न देखोगे।
[Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
23 और लोग तुम से कहेंगे, 'देखो, वहाँ है!' या देखो, यहाँ है!' मगर तुम चले न जाना न उनके पीछे हो लेना।
[Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
24 क्यूँकि जैसे बिजली आसमान में एक तरफ़ से कौंध कर आसमान कि दूसरी तरफ़ चमकती है, वैसे ही इब्न — ए — आदम अपने दिन में ज़ाहिर होगा।
Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
25 लेकिन पहले ज़रूर है कि वो बहुत दुःख उठाए, और इस ज़माने के लोग उसे रद्द करें।
But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
26 और जैसा नूह के दिनों में हुआ था, उसी तरह इब्न — ए — आदम के दिनों में होगा;
But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
27 कि लोग खाते पीते थे और उनमें ब्याह शादी होती थीं, उस दिन तक जब नूह नाव में दाख़िल हुआ; और तूफ़ान ने आकर सबको हलाक किया।“
[At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
28 और जैसा लूत के दिनों में हुआ था, कि लोग खाते — पीते और ख़रीद — ओ — फ़रोख़्त करते, और दरख़्त लगाते और घर बनाते थे।
Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
29 लेकिन जिस दिन लूत सदूम से निकला, आग और गन्धक ने आसमान से बरस कर सबको हलाक किया।
But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
30 इब्न — ए — आदम के ज़ाहिर होने के दिन भी ऐसा ही होगा।”
Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
31 “इस दिन जो छत पर हो और उसका अस्बाब घर में हो, वो उसे लेने को न उतरे; और इसी तरह जो खेत में हो वो पीछे को न लौटे।
On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
32 लूत की बीवी को याद रख्खो।
Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
33 जो कोई अपनी जान बचाने की कोशिश करे वो उसको खोएगा, और जो कोई उसे खोए वो उसको ज़िंदा रख्खेगा।
Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
34 मैं तुम से कहता हूँ कि उस रात दो आदमी एक चारपाई पर सोते होंगे, एक ले लिया जाएगा और दूसरा छोड़ दिया जाएगा।
I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
35 दो 'औरतें एक साथ चक्की पीसती होंगी, एक ले ली जाएगी और दूसरी छोड़ दी जाएगी।
Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
36 दो आदमी जो खेत में होंगे, एक ले लिया जाएगा और दूसरा छोड़ दिया जाएगा,”
37 उन्होंने जवाब में उससे कहा, “ऐ ख़ुदावन्द! ये कहाँ होगा?” उसने उनसे कहा, “जहाँ मुरदार हैं, वहाँ गिद्ध भी जमा होंगे।”
[His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
