लुका 14
1 एउटा विश्राम दिनमा जब उहाँ फरिसीहरूका एक जना अगुवाको घरमा रोटी खान जानुभयो, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई नजिकबाट हेरिराखेका थिए ।
When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
2 हेर, त्यहाँ उहाँको अगाडि एउटा मानिस थियो जो छारे रोगबाट ग्रसित थियो ।
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 येशूले यहूदी व्यवस्थाका पण्डितहरू र फरिसीहरूलाई सोध्नुभयो, “विश्राम दिनमा निको पार्नु उचित छ वा छैन?
Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 तर तिनीहरू मौन रहे । त्यसैले, येशूले त्यसलाई समातेर निको पार्नुभयो र उसलाई पठाइदिनुभयो ।
But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले आफ्नो छोरा अथवा गोरुलाई विश्राम दिनको दिन इनारमा खसेको देख्दा तुरुन्तै बाहिर निकाल्दैन र?”
He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
6 तिनीहरूले ती कुराहरूको जवाफ दिन सकेनन् ।
They could not answer him regarding these things.
7 जब येशूले ख्याल गर्नुभयो कि कसरी ती जो बोलाइएकाहरूले आदरको आसन छान्ने गर्दथे, तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले एउटा उखान भन्नुभयो ।
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 “जब तिमीहरूलाई कसैले विवाह भोजमा बोलाउँछ, आदरको ठाउँमा नबस किनकि तिमीभन्दा अझै आदरको मानिसलाई बोलाएको हुन सक्दछ ।
“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
9 जब बोलाइएका दुवै जना आउँदछन्, उसले तिमीलाई भन्दछ, ‘तपाईं बसेको यो ठाउँ उहाँका लागि छोडिदिनुहोस्‘भन्ला र लाजकासाथ तिमीले त्यो ठाउँ छोडेर तल्लो ठाउँमा बस्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
10 तर जब तिमीलाई निमन्त्रणा गरिन्छ, गएर कम महत्त्वको ठाउँमा बस, ताकि तिमीलाई बोलाउने मानिस आएर साथी माथिल्लो स्थानमा गएर बस्नुहोस् भनेर भनोस् । तब तिम्रो टेबलमा बस्नेहरूका बिचमा तिम्रो आदर हुनेछ ।
But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
11 हरेक जसले आफूलाई उचाल्दछ त्यसलाई होच्याइनेछ, र जसले आफूलाई होच्याउँछ त्यो उच्च पारिनेछ ।
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 उहाँलाई बोलाउनुभएको मानिसलाई येशूले भन्नुभयो, “जब तिमीले कसैलाई खाना खान बोलाउँछौ, तब आफ्ना साथीहरू वा आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरू वा आफ्ना नातेदारहरू वा आफ्ना धनी छिमेकीहरूलाई नबोलाऊ किनकि तिनीहरूले पनि तिमीलाई त्यसको बदला बोलाउन सक्दछन् ।
He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
13 तर जब तिमीले भोज दिन्छौ, गरिब, लुला-लङ्गडा र दृष्टिविहीनहरूलाई बोलाऊ ।
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 र तिमी आशिषित् हुनेछौ, किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीलाई तिम्रो गुणा फिर्ता गर्न सक्दैनन् । किनकि धर्मीहरूको पुनरुत्थान हुँदा तिम्रो गुण तिरिनेछ ।”
and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 येशूसँगै टेबुलमा बस्दा तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना जसले यी कुराहरू सुन्यो, जब उसले उहाँलाई भन्यो, “त्यो धन्यको हो जसले परमेश्वरको राज्यमा रोटी खानेछ ।”
When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
16 तर येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसले ठुलो भोजको आयोजना गर्यो र धेरैलाई निम्तो दियो ।
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 जब भोज तयार भयो, तब उसले आफ्नो सेवकलाई निम्तो गरिएकाहरूलाई बोलाउन पठायो ‘आउनुहोस् सबै कुरा तयार भइसक्यो ।’
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 तिनीहरू सबैले फरक-फरक किसिमको बहाना बनाउन थाले । पहिलोले भन्यो, ‘मैले भर्खर खेत किनेको छु र मैले गएर त्यो हेर्नुपर्छ । कृपया मलाई माफ गर्नुहोस् ।’
They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
19 र अर्कोले भन्यो, ‘मैले पाँच हल गोरु किनेको छु र मैले तिनीहरूलाई जोत्नुपर्छ । कृपया मलाई माफ गर्नुहोस् ।’
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 र अर्को मानिसले भन्यो, ‘मैले श्रीमती विवाह गरेको छु, त्यसकारण म आउन सक्दिनँ ।’
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
21 त्यो सेवक फर्केर आएर आफ्ना मालिकलाई ती कुराहरू सुनाइदियो, तब त्यस घरका मालिक रिसाए र सेवकलाई भने, ‘छिटो बाहिर गल्ली र सहरका खुल्ला मैदानमा जाऊ र गरिब, लुला, लङ्गडा, दृष्टिविहीनहरूलाई यहाँ ल्याऊ ।’
“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
22 तब सेवकले भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंको आदेशअनुसार सबै कुरा भयो, तरै पनि त्यहाँ अझै ठाउँ बाँकी छ ।’
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 मालिकले सेवकलाई भने, ‘राजमार्गहरू, गल्लीहरूमा गएर मानिसहरूलाई भित्र आउन अनुरोध गर, ताकि मेरो घर भरिएको होस् ।
“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 किनकि म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, पहिला बोलाएकाहरू कसैले पनि मेरो भोज चाख्न पाउने छैन ।’
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
25 ठुलो भिड उहाँसँग गइराखेको थियो, र उहाँ तिनीहरूतिर फर्केर भन्नुभयो,
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 “यदि कोही मेरो पछि आउँछ भने र आफ्नो आमा, बुबा, श्रीमती, छोराछोरी, दाजुभाइ र दिदी-बहिननी, र आफ्नै जीवनलाई पनि इन्कार गर्दैन भने, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
“If anyone comes to me, and does not disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 जसले आफ्नो क्रुस बोकेर मेरो पछि लाग्दैन, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 तिमीहरूमध्ये को होला, जसले एउटा धरहरा बनाउने इच्छा गर्दछ र पहिला बसेर निर्माण सम्पन्न गर्न सक्ने रुपियाँ-पैसा छ कि छैन भनेर त्यसको हिसाब गर्दैन र?
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 नत्रभने, उसले जग बसालिसकेपछि निर्माण सम्पन्न गर्न सकेन भने, यसलाई देख्ने सबैले उसको गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 भन्नेछन्, ‘यो मानिसले निर्माण गर्न त सुरु गर्यो तर सिद्धयाउन सकेन ।’
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
31 अथवा त्यो कस्तो राजा हो, जसले आफूसँग भएको दस हजार मानिसका साथ अर्को बिस हजार मानिस भएको राजासँग सामना गर्न सक्छु कि सक्दिनँ भनी पहिला बसेर सल्लाह लिँदैन?
Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 र यदि सक्दैन भने, अर्को सेना टाढा हुदाँ नै उसको राजदूत पठाएर शान्तिको शर्त राख्न सक्छ ।
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
33 त्यसैले, तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले आफूसँग भएको सबै कुरा त्याग्न सक्दैन भने, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
So therefore, whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
34 नुन असल हो, तर यदि नुनले यसको स्वाद गुमायो भने, यसलाई कसरी फेरि नुनिलो बनाउने?
“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 यो जमिनको लागि काम लाग्दैन वा मलको थुप्रोको लागि पनि । यो कुल्चन र फ्याँक्न को लागि मात्र हुन्छ । जसको कान छ, त्यसले सुनोस् ।”
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
