मत्ती 18
1 त्यही समयमा येशूका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आएर भने, “स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा ठुलो को हो?”
In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua [Salvation], saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (God)?”
2 येशूले आफ्नो नजिक एउटा सानो बालकलाई बोलाउनुभयो, र उसलाई उनीहरूका बिचमा राख्नुभयो,
Yeshua [Salvation] called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them,
3 र भन्नुभयो, “साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, तिमीहरूले पश्चात्ताप गरेर यी बालकजस्तो नभएसम्म, तिमीहरू अरू कुनै रीतिले स्वर्गको राज्यमा प्रवेश गर्नेछैनौ ।
and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
4 त्यसैले, जसले यी सानो बालकले झैँ आफूलाई नम्र तुल्याउँछ, त्यो मानिस नै स्वर्गको राज्यमा सबैभन्दा महान् हुन्छ ।
Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (God).
5 अनि जसले मेरो नाउँमा एउटा यस्तो सानो बालकलाई अपनाउँछ, उसले मलाई अपनाउँछ ।
Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
6 तर ममा विश्वास गर्ने यी सानाहरूमध्ये एउटैलाई पनि जसले पाप गर्न लगाउँछ, त्यसको गलामा एउटा ठुलो ढुङ्गो झुण्ड्याइ समुद्रको गहिराइमा फालिदिनु असल हुने थियो ।
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 कठिनाइको समयको कारण यस संसारलाई धिक्कार! किनकि यस्तो समय आउनु आवश्यक छ, तर त्यस मानिसलाई धिक्कार जसद्वारा यस्तो समय आउँछ!
“Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8 यदि तिम्रो हात अथवा खुट्टाले तिमीलाई पाप गर्न लगाउँछ भने, त्यसलाई काटिदेऊ र त्यसलाई तिमीबाट टाढा फ्याँकिदेऊ । दुवै हात वा दुवै खुट्टा भएर अनन्तको आगोमा फालिनुभन्दा लुलो वा लङ्गडो भएर जीवनमा प्रवेश गर्नु तिम्रो निम्ति असल हुन्छ । (aiōnios g166)
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 यदि तिम्रो आँखाले तिमीलाई पाप गर्न लगाउँछ भने, त्यसलाई निकाल, र तिमीबाट टाढा फ्याँकिदेऊ । दुवै आँखा भएर अनन्तको आगोमा फालिनु भन्दा एउटा आँखाको लिएर जीवनमा प्रवेश गर्नु तिम्रो निम्ति असल हुन्छ । (Geenna g1067)
If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead) of fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 होसियार रहो, यी सानाहरूमध्ये कसैलाई पनि घृणा नगर । किनकि म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, स्वर्गमा तिनीहरूका दूतहरूले सधैँ मेरा पिताको मुहार हेर्दछन् जो स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ ।
See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of 'Avi shebashamayim ·my Father in Heaven·.
11 किनकि मानिसका पुत्र हराएकाहरूलाई बचाउन आएका हुन् ।
For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
12 तिमीहरू के विचार गर्छौ? यदि कुनै मानिससँग एक सयवटा भेडा छन्, अनि तीमध्ये एउटा हरायो भने, के उसले ती उनान्सयलाई डाँडाको एक छेउमा छोडेर त्यस हराएकोलाई खोज्न हिँड्दैन र?
“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does not he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?
13 अनि साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि उसले त्यो हराएको भेडालाई भेट्टायो भने, ऊसँग भएका ती उनान्सय भेडाभन्दा त्यस एउटाको निम्ति उसले बढी रमाहट गर्दछ ।
If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.
14 त्यसरी नै, यी सानाहरूमध्ये एउटै पनि नाश होस् भनी स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने तिमीहरूका पिताले इच्छा गर्नुहुन्न ।
Even so it is not the will of 'Avikah shebashamayim ·your Father in Heaven· that one of these little ones should perish.
15 यदि तिम्रो भाइले तिम्रो विरुद्धमा पाप गर्छ भने, जाऊ, र एकलै भेटेर उसलाई उसको गल्ती देखाइदेऊ । यदि उसले तिम्रो कुरा सुन्छ भने, तिमीले आफ्नो भाइलाई प्राप्त गर्नेछौ ।
“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 तर यदि उसले तिम्रो कुरा सुन्दैन भने, अरू एक वा दुई जना भाइलाई तिमीसँगै लैजाऊ, ताकि दुई वा तिन जना साक्षीको बोलीद्वारा हरेक शब्द सत्य ठहरिओस् ।
But if he does not listen, take one or two more with you so that every accusation can be supported by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
17 र यदि उसले तिनीहरूको कुरा पनि सुन्न इन्कार गर्दछ भने, यो विषय मण्डलीलाई बताऊ । यदि उसले मण्डलीलाई पनि सुन्न इन्कार गर्दछ भने, ऊ तिम्रो निम्ति गैरयहूदी वा कर उठाउने सरह होस् ।
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, जे कुराहरू तिमी संसारमा बाँध्छौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा पनि बाँधिनेछ । अनि जे कुराहरू तिमी संसारमा फुकाउनेछौ, त्यो स्वर्गमा फुकाइनेछ ।
Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19 अझ म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यदि तिमीहरूमध्ये दुई जनाले तिनीहरूले मागेका जुनसुकै कुरामा यस संसारमा सहमत हुन्छन् भने, स्वर्गमा हुनुहुने मेरा पिताद्वारा तिनीहरूका निम्ति त्यो गरिनेछ ।
Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by 'Avi shebashamayim ·my Father in Heaven·.
20 किनकि जहाँ दुई वा तिन जना मेरो नाउँमा भेला हुन्छन्, म तिनीहरूका माझमा हुनेछु ।”
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.”
21 अनि पत्रुस आए र येशूलाई भने, “प्रभु, मेरो भाइले मेरो विरुद्धमा कति पटक पाप गर्यो भने मैले उसलाई क्षमा गरूँ? के सात पल्टसम्म?”
Then Peter [Rock] came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?”
22 येशूले उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “म तिमीलाई सात पटक भनेर भन्दिनँ, तर सत्तरी गुणा सात पल्टसम्म ।
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
23 यसैकारण, स्वर्गको राज्यलाई एउटा यस्तो राजासँग तुलना गर्न सकिन्छ, जसले आफ्ना नोकरहरूसित आफ्नो हिसाब मिलाउन चाहे ।
Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
24 जब तिनले हिसाब लिन थाले, एउटा नोकर तिनको अगाडि ल्याइयो जसले तिनलाई दस हजार सुनका सिक्का तिर्नुपर्ने थियो ।
When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 तर त्यस नोकरसित त्यो चुक्ता गर्ने केही उपाय नभएकोले, त्यसका मालिकले त्योसहित त्यसकी पत्नी, त्यसका बालबच्चा र सबथोक बेचेर त्यो तिर्न आदेश दिए ।
But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 त्यसैले, त्यस नोकर घुँडा टेक्दै तिनको अगि घोप्टो पर्यो, अनि भन्यो, ‘मालिक, मसँग धैर्य गर्नुहोस्, अनि म हजुरलाई सब थोक तिर्नेछु ।’
The servant therefore fell down and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!’
27 त्यसैले, त्यस नोकरका मालिक दयाले भरिएको कारण तिनले त्यसलाई छोडिदिएर ऋणमुक्त गरिदिए ।
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
28 तर त्यस नोकर बाहिर गयो र त्यसले आफ्नो सहकर्मी एउटा नोकर भेट्टायो जसले त्यसलाई एक सय दिनार तिर्नुपर्ने थियो । त्यसले उसलाई पक्रियो, र घाँटीमा समात्यो, र भन्यो, ‘तैँले मलाई जे तिर्नुपर्नेछ, त्यो तिरिहाल ।’
“But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii (100 days wages), and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’
29 तर त्यसको नोकरले घुँडा टेक्यो र त्यसलाई बिन्ती गर्यो, ‘मसँग धैर्य गर्नुहोस्, अनि म तपाईंलाई सबै ऋण तिरिदिनेछु ।’
“So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you!’
30 तर त्यो पहिलो नोकरले इन्कार गर्यो । बरु, त्यो गयो र उसले तिर्नुपर्ने ऋण चुक्ता नगरेसम्म उसलाई झ्यालखानामा हालिदियो ।
He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
31 जब त्यसका अरू सहकर्मी नोकरहरूले जे भएको थियो त्यो देखे, उनीहरू अत्यन्तै निराश भए । उनीहरू आए, र जे भएको थियो त्यो सबै उनीहरूका मालिकलाई सुनाइदिए ।
So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
32 त्यसपछि त्यस नोकरका मालिकले त्यसलाई बोलाए र भने, ‘तँ दुष्ट नोकर, तैँले मलाई बिन्ती गरेको हुनाले मैले तेरा सबै ऋण तँलाई माफ गरिदिएँ ।
Then his lord called him in, and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
33 मैले तँमाथि दया गरेझैँ के तैँले पनि आफ्नो सहकर्मी नोकरमाथि दया गर्नु पर्दैनथ्यो?’
Should not you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?’
34 त्यसका मालिक रिसाए र त्यसले तिर्नुपर्ने सबै ऋण चुक्ता नगरेसम्म त्यसलाई सताउनेहरूका हातमा सुम्पिदिए ।
His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
35 यदि तिमीहरू हरेकले आफ्नो हृदयबाट आफ्नो भाइलाई क्षमा गरेनौ भने, मेरा स्वर्गीय पिताले पनि तिमीहरूसित यस्तै गर्नुहुनेछ ।
So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don’t each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds.”
