लुका 16
1 येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई यसो पनि भन्नुभयो, “कोही एक जना धनी मानिसको एउटा व्यवस्थापक थियो र त्यस व्यवस्थापकले तिनको धन फजुल खर्च गरिरहेको छ भनी तिनलाई सुनाइदिए ।
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 तब ती धनी मानिसले उसलाई बोलाएर भने, ‘तिम्रो बारेमा म यो के सुन्दै छु? तिम्रो व्यवस्थापनको बारेमा हिसाब देऊ । अब उप्रान्त तिमी व्यवस्थापक रहन सक्दैनौ ।’
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 त्यो व्यवस्थापकले आफैँसँग भन्यो, ‘मेरा मालिकले अब मलाई व्यवस्थापकको कामबाट हटाउन लागेका छन्, म के गरूँ? मेरो खन्ने तागत छैन; मलाई माग्न पनि लाज लाग्दछ ।
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 मैले के गर्नेछु भन्ने कुरा मलाई थाहा छ । मलाई व्यवस्थापकको कामबाट हटाइएपछि मानिसहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूका घरमा निम्त्याऊन् भनी म यसो गर्नेछु ।’
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 तब त्यस व्यवस्थापकले उसका मालिकका ऋणीहरू प्रत्येकलाई बोलायो र पहिलो चाहिँलाई भन्यो, ‘तिमीले मेरा मालिकलाई कति तिर्नु छ?’
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 उसले भन्यो, ‘एक सय माना जैतूनको तेल ।’ उसले त्यसलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रो तमसुक लेऊ, तुरुन्तै बसेर पचास लेख ।’
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 तब त्यस व्यवस्थापकले अर्कोलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रोचाहिँ ऋण कति छ?’ उसले भन्यो, ‘एकसय माना गहुँ ।’ उसले त्यसलाई भन्यो, ‘तिम्रो तमसुक ल्याऊ र असी लेख ।’
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8 तब ती मालिकले त्यस अधर्मी व्यवस्थापकको प्रशंसा गरे किनकि उसले चतुर्याइँसँग काम गरेको थियो । किनकि आफ्ना मानिसहरूसँग व्यवहार गर्दा ज्योतिका सन्तानभन्दा यस संसारका सन्तानहरू बढी चतुर हुन्छन् । (aiōn g165)
"His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this age (aiōn g165) are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
9 म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, अधर्मी धनले तिमीहरूले अफ्ना लागि मित्र बनाओ, र यो धन सकिएपछि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई अनन्त वासस्थानमा स्वागत गरून् । (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into consummate (aiōnios g166) tents.
10 जो अत्यन्तै थोरैमा विश्वासयोग्य हुन्छ, त्यो धेरैमा पनि विश्वासयोग्य हुन्छ र जो अत्यन्तै थोरैमा अधर्मी हुन्छ, त्यो धेरैमा पनि अधर्मी हुन्छ ।
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू अधर्मी सम्पत्ति प्रयोग गर्ने कुरामा विश्वासयोग्य भएनौ भने, साँचो सम्पत्तिमा तिमीहरूलाई कसले भरोसा गर्ला र?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 त्यस्तै अरू मानिसहरूको सम्पत्तिमा तिमीहरू विश्वासयोग्य भएनौ भने, तिमीहरूको आफ्नै सम्पत्ति तिमीहरूलाई कसले देला र?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 कुनै पनि सेवकले दुई जना मालिकको सेवा गर्न सक्दैन, किनभने त्यसले एउटालाई घृणा गर्नेछ र अर्कोलाई प्रेम गर्नेछ अथवा एउटाप्रति भक्ति देखाउनेछ र अर्कोलाई तुच्छ ठान्नेछ । तिमीहरूले परमेश्वर र धनको सेवा गर्न सक्दैनौ ।”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 अब सम्पत्तिका प्रेमी फरिसीहरूले यी सबै कुरा सुने र तिनीहरूले उहाँको गिल्ला गरे ।
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मानिसको दृष्टिमा तिमीहरूले आफैँलाई धर्मी ठहर्याउँछौ, तर परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूका हृदयहरू जान्नुहुन्छ । जो मानिसहरूका माझमा उच्च हुन्छ, त्यो परमेश्वरको नजरमा घृणित हुन्छ ।
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 यूहन्ना आउनअगि अगमवक्ता र व्यवस्थाले काम गर्दथे । त्यस समयदेखि, परमेश्वरको राज्यको सुसमाचार प्रचार गरिएको छ र यसमा सबै जना बलजफ्तीसँग प्रवेश गर्न कोसिस गर्छन् ।
“The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जान सक्ला तर व्यवस्थाको वचनबाट एउटा अक्षरको थोप्लो पनि रद्द हुनेछैन ।
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
18 प्रत्येक जसले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई छोडपत्र दिन्छ र अर्कीसँग विवाह गर्छ, त्यसले व्यभिचार गर्छ र जसले आफ्नो पतिसँग छोडपत्र गरेकीसँग विवाह गर्छ त्यसले पनि व्यभिचार गर्छ ।
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 अब कोही एक जना धनी मानिस थियो र उसले सधैँ मसिनो मलमल र वैजनी वस्त्र पहिरन्थ्यो र आफ्नो प्रशस्त धन सम्पत्तिमा हरेक दिन आनन्द गर्दथ्यो ।
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 लाजरस नाम गरेको, घावैघाउ भएको कोही एक जना मानिसलाई ल्याएर उसको ढोकामा राखिदिन्थे ।
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 उसले त्यस धनी मानिसको टेबलबाट झरेका टुक्राटाक्रीले आफ्नो पेट भर्ने इच्छा गर्थ्यो र त्यसबाहेक, कुकुरहरू आएर उसका घाउहरू चाट्ने गर्थे ।
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 यसपछि त्यो भिखारी मर्यो र स्वर्गदूतहरूले उसलाई उठाएर अब्राहामकहाँ लगे । त्यो धनी मानिस पनि मर्यो र गाडियो ।
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 र नरकमा कष्ट भोगिरहेको बेला, उसले आफ्ना आँखा उठाएर हेर्यो र टाढामा अब्राहामलाई र तिनको छातीमा आड लागेको लाजरसलाई देख्यो । (Hadēs g86)
In Hades (Hadēs g86), he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
24 अनि उसले कराएर भन्यो, ‘पिता अब्राहाम, ममाथि कृपा गर्नुहोस् र लाजरसलाई पठाइदिनुहोस् । उसको औँलाले पानीको थोपा चुहाई देओस् र मेरो जिब्रो शितल हुनेछ किनभने म यस ज्वालाको पीडामा छु ।’
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 तर अब्राहामले भने, ‘बाबु आफ्नो जीवनकालमा तिमीले असल कुराहरू पायौ र त्यसै गरी लाजरसले खराब कुराहरू पायो भन्ने कुरा याद राख । तर अहिले ऊ यहाँ आराममा छ र तिमी पीडामा छौ ।
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 र यी सबै बाहेक तिम्रो र हाम्रो बिचमा र मानिसहरू यताबाट उता र उताबाट यता आउन नसकून् भनेर ठुलो खाडल राखिएको छ ।’
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 धनी मानिसले भन्यो, ‘म बिन्ती गर्छु पिता अब्राहाम, उसलाई मेरा पिताको घरमा पठाइदिनुहोस् ।
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 किनकि मेरा पाँच जना भाइ छन् । उसले तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिओस् र तिनीहरू यस डरलाग्दो ठाउँमा आउनु नपरोस् ।’
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they will not also come into this place of torment.’
29 तर अब्राहामले भने, ‘तिनीहरूसँग मोशा र अगमवक्ताहरू छन् । तिनीहरूले उनीहरूका कुरा सुनून् ।’
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 धनी मानिसले उत्तर दियो, ‘होइन पिता अब्राहाम, मरेकाहरूबाट कोही तिनीहरूकहाँ गयो भने, तिनीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गर्ने थिए ।’
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 अब्राहामले उसलाई भने, ‘यदि तिनीहरूले मोशा र अगमवक्ताका कुरा सुनेनन् भने कोही मृत्युबाट उठेको मानिसको कुरा पनि मान्ने छैनन्’ ।”
“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
