मत्ती 22
1 तिनीहरूसँग यसो भन्दै येशू दृष्टान्तमा बोल्नुभयो,
Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 “स्वर्गको राज्य एउटा यस्तो राजाजस्तो हो, जसले आफ्नो छोराको निम्ति विवाह भोजको तयारी गरे ।
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 उनले भोजमा आउनको निम्ति निम्त्याइएकाहरूलाई बोलाउन आफ्ना नोकरहरू पठाए, तर तिनीहरू आउन मानेनन् ।
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
4 फेरि राजाले यसो भन्दै आफ्ना अरू नोकरहरू पठाए, ‘ती निम्त्याइएकाहरूलाई यसो भन्नू, ‘मैले मेरो भोज तयार पारेको छु । मेरा गोरुहरू र मोटा पशुहरू मारिएका छन्, र सबै कुरा तयार छन् । विवाहको भोजमा आओ ।’
Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
5 तर तिनीहरूले केही वास्ता नै गरेनन्, र एउटा आफ्नो खेतबारी, र अर्को आफ्नो व्यवसायतिर लाग्यो ।
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
6 अरूहरूले चाहिँ राजाका नोकरहरूलाई पक्रे; तिनीहरूसँग लाजमर्दो व्यवहार गरे, र तिनीहरूलाई मारे ।
and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 तर राजा रिसाए । उनले आफ्ना सेनाहरू पठाए; ती हत्याराहरूलाई मारे, र तिनीहरूको सहर जलाइदिए ।
When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 त्यसपछि उनले आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई भने, ‘विवाहको निम्ति सबै तयार छन्, तर जसलाई निम्त्याइएको थियो तिनीहरू योग्यका थिएनन् ।
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 त्यसैले, तिमीहरू सडकहरूमा जाओ र तिमीहरूले सक्ने जति सबै मानिसलाई विवाह भोजमा सहभागी हुन बोलाओ ।’
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
10 ती नोकरहरू सडकहरूमा गए र तिनीहरूले भेट्टाए जति असल र खराब दुवै थरीका मानिसलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे । त्यसैले, विवाहको घर पाहुनाहरूले भरियो ।
Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
11 तर जब राजा पाहुनाहरूलाई हेर्न भनी भित्र आए, त्यहाँ एक जना मानिस विवाहको पोशाक नलगाईकन भोजमा आएको उनले देखे ।
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,
12 राजाले उसलाई भने, ‘मित्र, विवाहको पोशाक नलगाईकन तिमी यहाँ भित्र कसरी आयौ?’ अनि त्यस व्यक्तिले केही बोल्न सकेन ।
and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
13 त्यसपछि राजाले आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई भने, ‘यस मानिसका हात र खुट्टा बाँध, र यसलाई बाहिरी अन्धकारमा फालिदेओ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।’
Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
14 किनकि बोलाइएकहरू धेरै छन्, तर चुनिएकाहरू थोरै छन् ।”
For many are called, but few chosen.”
15 त्यसपछि फरिसीहरू त्यहाँबाट गए, र येशूले भन्नुभएको कुरामा उहाँलाई नै कसरी जालमा पार्ने भन्ने बारेमा योजना बनाए ।
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
16 त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले आफ्ना चेलाहरू र हेरोदी दलका केही मानिसहरूलाई उहाँकहाँ पठाए । तिनीहरूले येशूलाई भने, “गुरुज्यू, हामीलाई थाहा छ, कि तपाईं सत्य हुनुहुन्छ, र तपाईंले परमेश्वरको मार्गलाई सत्यतामा सिकाउनुहुन्छ । तपाईं कसले के सोच्छ भन्ने कुरालाई वास्ता गर्नुहुन्न, र मानिसहरूका बिचमा तपाईंले पक्षपात गर्नुहुन्न ।
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you are not partial to anyone.
17 त्यसैले, हामीलाई भन्नुहोस्, कि तपाईं के भन्नुहुन्छ? कैसरलाई कर तिर्नु उचित हो कि होइन?”
Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
18 तर येशूले तिनीहरूको दुष्टता थाहा पाउनुभयो, र भन्नुभयो, “पाखण्डी हो, “तिमीहरू मलाई किन जाँच्दछौ?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 कर तिर्ने सिक्का मलाई देखाओ ।” त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले उहाँकहाँ एक दिनार ल्याए ।
Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
20 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यी कसका नाम र छाप हुन्?”
He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
21 तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “कैसरको ।” त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसो भए, जे कैसरका हुन्, ती कैसरलाई देओ, र जे परमेश्वरका हुन्, ती परमेश्वरलाई देओ ।”
They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
22 जब तिनीहरूले यो सुने, तिनीहरू छक्क परे । त्यसपछि तिनीहरू उहाँबाट अलग्गिएर त्यहाँबाट गए ।
When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
23 त्यही दिनमा केही सदुकीहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, जसले पुनरुत्थान हुँदैन भनेर भन्दथे । तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई सोधे,
On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
24 “गुरुज्यू, मोशाले भनेका थिए, ‘यदि कुनै पुरुष बालक नजन्माईकन मर्यो भने, उसको भाइले त्यसकी पत्नीलाई विवाह गर्नुपर्छ र आफ्ना दाजुको निम्ति सन्तान जन्माउनुपर्छ ।
saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
25 तिनीहरू सात जना दाजुभाइ थिए । पहिलोले विवाह गर्यो । कुनै पनि सन्तान नभईकन उसले आफ्नी पत्नी आफ्नो भाइलाई छोड्यो ।
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
26 त्यसपछि दोस्रो भाइले त्यस्तै गर्यो, त्यसपछि तेस्रोले, र सातौँ भाइसम्म यस्तै हुँदै गयो ।
In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 तिनीहरू सबै मरेपछि त्यो स्त्री पनि मरी ।
After them all, the woman died.
28 अब पुनरुत्थानमा ती सात दाजुभाइमध्ये त्यो स्त्री कुन चाहिँको पत्नी हुन्छे? किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले ऊसँग विवाह गरिसकेका छन् ।”
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
29 तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू भुलमा परेका छौ, किनभने तिमीहरू धर्मशास्त्र वा परमेश्वरको शक्तिलाई जान्दैनौ ।
But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 किनकि पुनरुत्थानमा तिनीहरू न त विवाह गर्दछन्, न त तिनीहरूलाई विवाहको निम्ति दिइन्छ । बरु, तिनीहरू स्वर्गमा हुने दूतहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् ।
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
31 तर मृतकहरूको पुनरुत्थानको बारेमा परमेश्वरद्वारा यसरी तिमीहरूलाई भनिएको के तिमीहरूले पढेका छैनौ,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have not you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 ‘म अब्राहामका परमेश्वर, इसहाकका परमेश्वर र याकूबका परमेश्वर हुँ?’ परमेश्वर मृतकहरूको परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्न, तर उहाँ जीवितहरूका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।”
‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
33 जब भिडले यो सुन्यो, तिनीहरू उहाँको शिक्षामा छक्क परे ।
When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 तर येशूले सदुकीहरूलाई चुप पार्नुभएको जब फरिसीहरूले सुने, तिनीहरू भेला भए ।
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 तिनीहरूमध्येका एक जना व्यवस्थाका गुरुले उहाँको जाँच गर्दै एउटा प्रश्न सोधे,
One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
36 “गुरुज्यू, व्यवस्थामा सबैभन्दा महान् आज्ञाचाहिँ कुन हो?”
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
37 येशूले उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तैँले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरलाई आफ्नो सारा हृदयले, आफ्नो सारा प्राणले र आफ्नो सारा समझले प्रेम गर्नू ।
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 योचाहिँ पहिलो र महान् आज्ञा हो ।
This is the first and great commandment.
39 अनि दोस्रो आज्ञा पनि यस्तै छ– ‘तैँले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई आफैँलाई झैँ प्रेम गर्नू ।’
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 सारा व्यवस्था र अगमवक्ताहरू यी दुईवटा आज्ञामाथि आधारित छन् ।”
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
41 फरिसीहरू एकै ठाउँमा जम्मा भएको बेलामा येशूले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा प्रश्न सोध्नुभयो ।
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको बारेमा के विचार गर्दछौ? ख्रीष्ट कसका पुत्र हुन्?” तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “दाऊदका पुत्र ।”
saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
43 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “त्यसो भए, दाऊद पवित्र आत्माले भरिँदा तिनले किन उहाँलाई यसरी प्रभु भनी पुकारे,
He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ‘परमप्रभुले मेरा प्रभुलाई भन्नुभयो, “जबसम्म मैले तिम्रा शत्रुहरूलाई तिम्रो पाउदान बनाउँदिन, तबसम्म तिमी मेरो दाहिने हातपट्टि बस ।’?”
‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
45 यदि दाऊदले ख्रीष्टलाई ‘प्रभु’ भन्दछन् भने, उनी कसरी दाऊदका पुत्र हुन सक्छन् त?”
“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
46 तिनीहरू कसैले पनि जवाफमा एउटा शब्द पनि बोल्न सकेन, र त्यस दिनपछि उहाँलाई कसैले पनि अरू प्रश्नहरू सोध्ने साहस गरेन ।
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
