< मत्ती 24 >

1 ययेशू मन्दिरबाट बाहिर जानुभयो र उहाँ आफ्नो बाटोमा जाँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँलाई मन्दिरका भवनहरू देखाउन उहाँका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए ।
Jesus went out from the temple and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to point out to him the buildings of the temple.
2 तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्‍नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले यी सबै कुरा देख्दैनौ? साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, एउटा ढुङ्गामाथि अर्को ढुङ्गा छोडिनेछैन, सबै भत्काइनेछन् ।”
But he answered and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left on another that will not be torn down.”
3 जब उहाँ जैतून डाँडामा वस्‍नुभयो, चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ सुटुक्‍कै आए र भने, “हामीलाई भन्‍नुहोस्, यी कुराहरू कहिले हुनेछन्? तपाईंको आगमन र संसारको अन्तको चिन्ह के हुनेछ?” (aiōn g165)
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (aiōn g165)
4 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “होसियार रहो, कसैले तिमीहरूलाई नभड्काओस् ।”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.
5 किनकि मेरो नाउँमा धेरै जना आउनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूले भन्‍नेछन्, ‘म नै ख्रीष्‍ट हुँ!’ र धेरैलाई भड्काउनेछन् ।
For many will come in my name. They will say, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
6 तिमीहरूले लडाइँ र लडाइँका हल्ला सुन्‍नेछौ । तर तिमीहरू, विचलित नहोओ, किनकि यी कुराहरू हुनैपर्छ; तर अझै अन्त आइसकेको हुँदैन ।
You will hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not troubled, for these things must happen; but the end is not yet.
7 किनकि जातिको विरुद्धमा जाति खडा हुनेछ, र राज्यको विरुद्धमा राज्य खडा हुनेछ । विभिन्‍न ठाउँमा अनिकाल हुनेछ र भूकम्पहरू जानेछन् ।
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 तर यी सबै कुरा प्रसव-वेदनाको सुरुवात मात्र हो ।
But all these things are only the beginning of birth pains.
9 तब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सङ्कष्‍टको लागि सुम्पनेछन् र तिमीहरूलाई मार्नेछन् । मेरो नामको खातिर सबै जातिद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गरिनेछ ।
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you. You will be hated by all the nations for my name's sake.
10 तब धेरै जनाले ठेस खानेछन्, र एक अर्कालाई धोका दिनेछन्, एक अर्कालाई घृणा गर्नेछन् ।
Then many will stumble, and betray one another and hate one another.
11 धेरै झुटा अगमवक्‍ता खडा हुनेछन् र धेरै जनालाई बहकाउनेछन् ।
Many false prophets will rise up and lead many astray.
12 किनभने अधर्मको वृद्धि हुनेछ; धेरै जनाको प्रेम सेलाउनेछ ।
Because lawlessness will increase, the love of many will grow cold.
13 तर जो अन्तसम्म स्थिर रहन्छ, उसले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
14 राज्यको यो सुसमाचार सारा संसारमा सबै जातिलाई साक्षीको रूपमा प्रचार गरिनेछ । तब अन्त आउनेछ ।
This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations. Then the end will come.
15 त्यसकारण, जब तिमीहरूले दानिएल अगमवक्‍ताले भनेका जस्तै त्यस विनाशकारी घृणित व्यक्‍तिलाई पवित्र स्थानमा उभिएको देख्छौ (पाठकले आफैँ बुझोस),
Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (let the reader understand),
16 जो यहूदियामा छन्, तिनीहरू पहाडहरूतिर भागून्,
“let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
17 जो घरको छानामाथि छ, ऊ घरबाट कुनै सामान लिन तल नझरोस् ।
let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house,
18 र जो खेतमा छ, ऊ आफ्नो खास्टो लिन नफर्कोस् ।
and let him who is in the field not return to take his cloak.
19 तर ती दिनमा हाय तिनीहरूलाई जो गर्भवती छन् र जसले शिशुहरूलाई दूध चुसाउँछन्!
But woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days!
20 हिउँदमा वा शबाथको दिनमा तिमीहरू भाग्‍न नपरोस् भनी प्रार्थना गर ।
Pray that your flight will not occur in the winter or on a Sabbath.
21 किनकि त्यस बेला महासङ्कष्‍ट हुनेछ, जुन संसारको सुरुदेखि अहिलेसम्म कहिल्यै भएको छैन, न त कहिल्यै फेरि हुनेछ ।
For there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be again.
22 ती दिनहरू नघटाइएसम्म कुनै शरीर पनि बच्नेछैन । तर चुनिएकाहरूका निम्ति ती दिनहरू घटाइनेछन् ।
Unless those days are shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
23 तब यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, ख्रीष्‍ट यहाँ छन्!’ वा, ‘ख्रीष्‍ट त्यहाँ छन्!’ भन्छ भने त्यसलाई विश्‍वास नगर ।
Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There is the Christ!' do not believe it.
24 किनकि झुटा ख्रीष्‍टहरू र झुटा अगमवक्‍ताहरू आउनेछन् र हुन सके, चुनिएकाहरूलाई समेत बहकाउनलाई ठुला-ठुला चिन्हहरू र चमत्कारहरू देखाउनेछन् ।
For false Christs and false prophets will come and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
25 हेर, मैले यी अगाडि नै तिमीहरूलाई बताएको छु ।
See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 त्यसकारण, यदि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, उहाँ उजाड-स्थानमा हुनुहुन्छ’ भनेर भन्छन् भने, उजाड-स्थानतिर नजाओ । वा ‘हेर, उहाँ भित्री कोठाहरूमा हुनुहुन्छ’ भनेर भन्छन् भने, त्यसलाई विश्‍वास नगर ।
Therefore, if they say to you, 'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out to the wilderness. Or, 'See, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
27 किनकि जसरी बिजुली पूर्वबाट चम्कन्छ र पश्‍चिमसम्मै त्यसको उज्यालो पुग्दछ, मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
For as the lightning shines out from the east and flashes all the way to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
28 जहाँ सिनो छ, त्यहाँ गिद्धहरू भेला हुनेछन् ।
Wherever a dead animal is, there the vultures will gather.
29 तर ती दिनमा सङ्कष्‍ट आए लगत्तै सूर्य अँध्यारो हुनेछ; चन्द्रमाले आफ्नो ज्योति दिनेछैन; ताराहरू आकाशबाट खस्‍नेछन्, र स्वर्गका शक्‍तिहरू डगमगाउनेछन् ।
But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 तब मानिसका पुत्रको चिन्ह आकाशमा देखा पर्नेछ, अनि पृथ्वीका सबै जातिले विलाप गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले मानिसका पुत्रलाई आकाशको बादलमा शक्‍ति र ठुलो महिमासाथ आउँदै गरेको देख्‍नेछन् ।
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
31 उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई तुरहीको ठुलो आवाजका साथ पठाउनुहुनेछ, अनि तिनीहरूले उहाँका चुनिएकाहरूलाई आकाशको एउटा छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म चारै दिशाबाट भेला गराउनेछन् ।
He will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 अन्जीरको बोटबाट पाठ सिक । जब त्यसका हाँगाहरू कलिला हुन्छन् र पातहरू पलाउँछन्, तब ग्रीष्म ऋतु आउँदै छ भनेर तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउँछौ ।
Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as the branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 त्यसरी नै, जब तिमीहरूले पनि यी सबै कुरा देख्छौ, उहाँ नजिकै अर्थात् ढोकाकै छेउमा हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्‍नुपर्छ ।
So also, when you see all these things, you should know that he is near, at the very gates.
34 साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यी सबै कुरा नभएसम्म यो पुस्ता बितेर जानेछैन ।
Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all of these things will have happened.
35 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जानेछ, तर मेरा वचन बितेर जानेछैनन् ।
Heaven and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36 तर त्यस दिन र घडीको विषयमा कसैलाई पनि थाहा छैन, न त स्वर्गका स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई, न पुत्रलाई, तर पितालाई मात्र थाहा छ ।
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37 मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि नोआका दिनमा जस्तै हुनेछ ।
As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
38 किनकि ती दिनहरूमा जलप्रलय आउनुभन्दा अगि नोआ जहाजभित्र नपसुन्जेल तिनीहरू खाँदै र पिउँदै, विवाह गर्दै र विवाह गराउँदै थिए,
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39 अनि प्रलय आएर तिनीहरू सबैलाई नलगुन्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूलाई केही पनि थाहा थिएन । मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
and they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away—so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40 तब खेतमा दुई जना हुनेछन्– एक जना लगिनेछ, र अर्को यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
Then two men will be in a field—one will be taken, and one will be left.
41 दुई जना स्‍त्री जाँतो पिँधिरहेका हुनेछन्– एउटी लगिनेछ र अर्की त्यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
Two women will be grinding with a mill—one will be taken, and one will be left.
42 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू जागा रहो, किनकि तिमीहरूका प्रभु कुन दिन आउनुहुनेछ भन्‍ने कुरा तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन ।
Therefore be on your guard, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
43 तर यो जान, कि रातको कुन समयमा चोर आउँदै छ भन्‍ने कुरा घरको धनीलाई थाहा भएको भए, ऊ जागा बस्‍ने थियो र चोरलाई उसको घर फोर्न दिने थिएन ।
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what time of night the thief was coming, he would have been on guard and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
44 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू पनि तयार हुनुपर्छ, किनकि मानिसका पुत्र तिमीहरूले आशा नगरेको बेलामा आउनुहुनेछ ।
Therefore you must also be ready, for the Son of Man will come at an hour that you do not expect.
45 त्यसैले, विश्‍वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् नोकर को हो, जसलाई उसको मालिकले आफ्नो घरका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका खाना ठिक समयमा तिनीहरूलाई दिनलाई नियुक्त गरेको छ?
So who is the faithful and wise servant whom his master has set over his household in order to give them their food at the right time?
46 त्यो नोकर धन्य हो, जसलाई उसको मालिक आउँदा त्यसै गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Blessed is that servant whom his master will find doing that when he comes.
47 साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि मालिकले उसित भएका सबै कुराको जिम्मा उसलाई दिनेछ ।
Truly I say to you that the master will set him over everything that he owns.
48 तर यदि दुष्‍ट नोकरले त्यसको मनमा, ‘मेरो मालिक ढिला हुनुभएको छ’ भनी भन्दछ,
But if an evil servant says in his heart, 'My master has been delayed,'
49 अनि उसले आफ्ना सहकर्मी नोकरहरूलाई पिट्न थाल्छ, र मतवालाहरूसँग खान्छ र पिउँछ भने,
and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with drunkards,
50 त्यस नोकरले आशा नगरेको दिनमा र त्यसलाई थाहा नभएको घडीमा त्यस नोकरको मालिक आउनेछ ।
then the master of that servant will come on a day that the servant does not expect and at an hour that he does not know.
51 त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई दुई टुक्रा पारी काट्नेछ र त्यसको दशा ती पाखण्डीहरूको जस्तै हुनेछ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।
His master will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
