< Luke 20 >

1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
येशूले मन्दिरमा मानिसहरूलाई शिक्षा दिइरहनुहुँदा र सुसमाचार प्रचार गरिरहनुहुँदा, अगुवाहरूसहित मुख्य पुजारीहरू र शास्‍त्रीहरू येशूकहाँ आए ।
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “हामीलाई बताऊ, कुन अधिकारद्वारा तिमी यी कामहरू गर्छौ? अथवा कसले तिमीलाई यो अधिकार दियो?”
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
उहाँले जवाफ दिएर भन्‍नुभयो, “म पनि तिमीहरूलाई एउटा प्रश्‍न सोध्छु ।
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
यूहन्‍नाको बप्‍तिस्‍माको बारेमा मलाई बताओ । यो स्वर्गबाट थियो कि मानिसहरूबाट?”
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
उनीहरूले आपसमा भने, “यदि हामीले स्वर्गबाट भन्यौँ भने उसले यसो भन्ला ‘त्यसो भए तिमीहरूले उनलाई किन विश्‍वास गरेनौ?’
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
तर यदि हामीले मानिसबाट हो भन्यौँ भने, ‘सबै मानिसले हामीलाई ढुङ्गाले हान्‍नेछन्, किनभने उनीहरूले यूहन्‍नालाई अगमवक्‍ता हो भनी विश्‍वास गरेका छन्’ ।”
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
यसकारण तिनीहरूले यसो भनेर उत्तर दिए, “त्यो कहाँबाट भयो भनी हामीलाई थाहा छैन ।”
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
येशूले तिनीहरूले भन्‍नुभयो, “म पनि तिमीहरूलाई मैले कुन अधिकारले यी कामहरू गर्छु भनी बताउँदिनँ ।”
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
उहाँले मानिसहरूलाई यो दृष्‍टान्त भन्‍नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसले दाखबारी लगाएर कामदारहरूलाई जिम्मा दिएर आफू लामो समयको लागि अर्को देशमा गए ।
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
तोकिएको समयमा तिनीहरूले आफ्नो हिस्साको फल दिऊन् भनी तिनले आफ्नो एक जना नोकरलाई ती कामदारहरूकहाँ पठाए । तर ती कामदारहरूले त्यसलाई पिटेर रित्तो हात पठाइदिए ।
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
तिनले अझै अर्को नोकरलाई पठाए, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई पनि पिटेर बेइज्‍जत गरी रित्तै हात पठाए ।
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
तिनले तेस्रो नोकरलाई पनि पठाए, तर तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई पनि घाइते बनाएर निकाली दिए ।
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
त्यसकारण, दाखबारीका मालिकले भने, ‘अब म के गरूँ? म आफ्नो प्यारो छोरालाई पठाउनेछु सायद उसलाई त तिनीहरूले आदर गर्लान् कि ।’
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
तर कामदारहरूले उसलाई देखेर आपसमा कुरा गरे, ‘यो त हकवाला हो । हामी यसलाई मारौँ र सम्पत्तिको हक हाम्रो हुनेछ ।’
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
अनि तिनीहरूले उसलाई दाखबारीको बाहिर लगेर मारे । अब दाखबारीका मालिकले तिनीहरूलाई के गर्लान्?
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
उनी आएर ती कामदारहरूलाई मार्नेछन् र दाखाबरी अरूहरूलाई दिनेछन् ।” यो सुनेर तिनीहरूले भने, “यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस्!”
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई हेर्नुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “यो धर्मशास्‍त्रको भनाइको अर्थ के हो, ‘जुन ढुङ्गालाई भवन निर्माण गर्नेहरूले इन्कार गरे त्यही नै कुने-ढुङ्गो बन्यो?’
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
त्यस ढुङ्गामाथि खस्‍ने हरेक चकनाचुर हुनेछ, तर जसमाथि त्यो खस्छ त्यसले त्यसलाई धुलोपिठो पार्नेछ ।”
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
त्यसकारण, शास्‍त्री र मुख्य पुजारीहरूले त्यति नै बेला उहाँलाई पक्रन खोजे । किनकि तिनीहरूलाई थाहा भयो कि उहाँले यो दृष्‍टान्त तिनीहरूकै विरुद्धमा भन्‍नुभएको थियो । तर तिनीहरू मानिसहरूसँग डराउँथे ।
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
तिनीहरूले मौका हेर्न लागे र येशूले भन्‍नुभएको कुरामा केही गलत साबित भए उहाँलाई फसाएर अधिकारीहरूको हातमा सुम्पिदिने नियतले तिनीहरूले धर्मी भई टोपल्ने जासुसहरूलाई उहाँकहाँ पठाए ।
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
उनीहरूले उहाँलाई सोधे, “गुरुज्यू, हामी जान्दछौँ कि तपाईं ठिक बोल्नुहुन्छ र ठिक सिकाउनुहुन्छ र कसैको पक्षपात गर्नुहुन्‍न तर परमेश्‍वरको मार्गको सत्यता सिकाउनुहुन्छ ।
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
हामीले कैसरलाई कर तिर्नु उचित छ कि छैन?”
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
येशूले उनीहरूको धूर्त्याइँलाई बुझेर भन्‍नुभयो,
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
“मलाई एउटा सिक्‍का देखाओ, यसमा कसको नाम र चित्र खोपिएको छ?” उनीहरूले भने, “कैसरको ।”
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
उहाँले उनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “त्यसो भए जे कैसर को हो, कैसरलाई देओ र जे परमेश्‍वरको हो परमेश्‍वरलाई देओ ।”
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
मानिसहरूको सामुन्‍ने उहाँले बोल्नुभएका कुरामा शास्‍त्री र मुख्य पुजारीहरूले उहाँलाई फसाउन सकेनन् । उहाँको जवाफमा उनीहरू छक्‍क परे र केही पनि भन्‍न सकेनन् ।
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
त्यसपछि मृतकहरूबाट पुनरुत्थान हुँदैन भन्‍ने सदूकीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए,
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
र उहाँलाई सोधे, “गुरुज्यू, मोशाले हामीलाई लेखिदिएका थिए, कि कुनै मानिसको विवाहित दाजु निसन्तान भयो भने भाइले त्यसकी पत्‍नीलाई विवाह गरी दाजुको लागि सन्तान खडा गरिदिनुपर्छ ।
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
सात भाइ थिए । जेठोले एउटी पत्‍नी ल्यायो र निसन्तान मर्‍यो
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
अनि माहिलाले पनि त्यसलाई विवाह गर्‍यो र निसन्तान मर्‍यो ।
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
साहिँलाले पनि त्यसलाई विवाह गर्‍यो अनि त्यसरी नै ती सातै जना निसन्तान मरे ।
32 Afterward the woman also died.
पछिबाट त्यो स्‍त्री पनि मरी ।
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
यसकारण, मृतकबाट पुनरुत्थान हुँदा त्यो स्‍त्री तिनीहरूमध्ये कसकी पत्‍नी हुनेछे? किनकि ती सातै जनाले त्यसलाई पत्‍नीको रूपमा लिएका थिए ।”
34 Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यस युगका मानिसहरू विवाह गर्छन् र विवाह गरेर पठाइन्छन् । (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
तर मृतकबाट जीवित भई उठ्न र अनन्त जीवन प्राप्‍त गर्न योग्य ठहरिनेहरूले न विवाह गर्दछन् न त विवाह गरेर पठाइन्छन् । (aiōn g165)
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
तिनीहरू फेरि मर्दैनन्, किनभने तिनीहरू स्वर्गदूत समान हुन् र पुनरुत्‍थानका सन्तान भएकाले परमेश्‍वरका सन्तान हुन् ।
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
तर मृतकहरू जीवित भई उठ्नेछन् भन्‍नेकुरा मोशाले पनि पोथ्राको विवरणमा परमप्रभुलाई अब्राहामका परमेश्‍वर, इसहाकका परमेश्‍वर र याकूबका परमेश्‍वर भनेर पुकार्दा देखाइदिए ।
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
उहाँ मृतकहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्‍न, तर जीवितहरूका परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि सबै उहाँकै निम्ति जिउँछन् ।”
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
अनि शास्‍त्रीहरूमध्ये कुनै-कुनैले भने, “गुरुज्यू, तपाईंले सही जवाफ दिनुभयो ।”
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
उनीहरू कसैले पनि उहाँलाई फेरि प्रश्‍न सोध्‍ने आँट गरेनन् ।
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
येशूले उनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “ख्रीष्‍ट दाऊदका पुत्र हुन् भनेर तिनीहरूले कसरी भन्दछन्?
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
किनकि भजनको पुस्तकमा दाऊद आफैँले भन्दछन्, परमप्रभुले मेरा प्रभुलाई भन्‍नुभयो, ‘तिमी मेरो दाहिने हातपट्टि बस,
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
जबसम्म म तिम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई तिम्रो पाउदान तुल्याउँदिनँ ।’
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
यसकारण, दाऊदले ख्रीष्‍टलाई प्रभु भन्दछन् भने फेरि उनी कसरी दाऊदका पुत्र भए?”
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
सबै मानिसहरूले सुन्‍ने गरी उहाँले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो,
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
“शास्‍त्रीहरूदेखि होसियार रहो जो लामा वस्‍त्रहरूमा सजिएर बजारमा अभिवादन गरिएको मन पराउँछन् अनि सभाघर र भोजहरूमा प्रमुख स्थान चाहन्छन् ।
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
तिनीहरूले विधवाहरूको घर हडप्छन् र लामो-लामो प्रार्थना गरेर देखाउँछन् । तिनीहरूले नै अझै ठुलो दण्ड पाउनेछन् ।”
