Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
यसपछि छिट्टै प्रभु येशू आफ्ना बाह्र जना चेलाका साथमा वरपरका सहरहरू र गाउँहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र परमेश्वरको राज्यको सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्दै जानुभयो ।
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
केही स्त्रीहरू जो दुष्टात्मा र रोगहरूबाट निको भएका थिए, तिनीहरू पनि उहाँहरूसँगै थिए । तिनीहरू मरियम जसलाई मग्दलनी भनिन्थ्यो, जसबाट सातवटा भूतात्मा निकालिएका थिए ।
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
हेरोदका कारिन्दा खुजासकी पत्नी योअन्ना र सुसन्ना, यिनीहरू र अरूहरू आफ्ना भौतिक स्रोतहरूबाट उहाँहरूका निम्ति जुटाई दिन्थे ।
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
अब मानिसहरूको एउटा ठुलो भिड एकसाथ भेला भएको थियो, साथै धेरै विभिन्न सहरबाट मानिसहरूसमेत उहाँकहाँ आइरहेका थिए । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो ।
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
“एउटा बिउ छर्ने केही बिउहरू छर्नलाई निस्क्यो । उसले छर्दा केही बिउहरू बाटोमा परे र ती बिउहरू खुट्टाले कुल्चिए, र आकाशका चराहरूले ती खाए ।
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
अरू बिउ ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परे र चाँडै ती बोटको रूपमा बढे र सुकिहाले, किनकि त्यो जमिन ओबानो थियो ।
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
अझै अरू बिउहरू काँढाँका बिरुवाहरूमा परे, र बिउहरू सँगसँगै बिरुवाहरू पनि बढे र बिउहरूलाई काँढे झाडीले निसासिदियो ।
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
तर केही बिउहरू असल जमिनमा परे र सय गुणा फल फलाए ।” येशूले यी कुराहरू भनिसक्नुभएपछि उहाँले बोलाउनुभयो, जससँग सुन्ने कानहरू छन् त्यसले सुनोस् ।
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
त्यसपछि उहाँका चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यो दृष्टान्तको अर्थ के हुन सक्छ भनी सोधे ।
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्वरका राज्यका रहस्यका कुराहरू बुझ्ने अवसर दिइएको छ, तर बाँकी मानिसहरूलाई दृष्टान्तमा सिकाइने छ । त्यसकारण ‘वास्तवमा तिनीहरूले हेरेर पनि देख्नेछैनन्, सुनेर पनि बुझ्नेछैनन् ।’
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
अब दृष्टान्तको अर्थ यही होः बिउ परमेश्वरको वचन हो ।
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
बाटोको किनारमा परेका बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुन्छन्, तर दुष्ट आउँछ र तिनीहरूको हृदयमा भएका वचन खोसेर लैजान्छ ताकि तिनीहरूले विश्वास नगरून् र नबाँचून् ।
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
त्यसपछि ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परेको बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुन्छन्, खुसीसाथ ग्रहण गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूको गहिराइ नभएकोले केवल एक क्षणका लागि मात्र विश्वास गर्छन् र जाँचको समयमा तिनीहरू पतन भएर जान्छन् ।
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
काँडाको झाडीमा परेको बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुनेका छन्, तर जीवन जिउने क्रममा, संसारका धन सम्पत्तिको फिक्री, सुख विलासका कारण निसासिएर परिपक्व फल फलाउन सक्दैनन् ।
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
तर असल जमिनमा परेका बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्तउ हुन्, जसले इमानदार र असल हृदयसाथ वचन सुनेर यसलाई सुरक्षितसाथ पक्री राख्छन् र धैर्यसाथ फल फलाउँछन् ।
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
अनि बत्ती बालेर कसैले पनि भाँडाले छोप्दैन अथवा खाटमुनि राख्दैन, बरु यसलाई उसले सामदानमा राख्छ, ताकि भित्र पस्ने सबैले उज्यालो देखून् ।
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
किनभने कुनै पनि कुरालाई प्रकट हुन नसक्ने गरी लुकाउन सकिँदैन, न त कुनै पनि गोप्य कुरा प्रकट नै हुन नसक्ने र ज्योतिमा आउन नसक्ने हुन्छ ।
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
त्यसैकारण, तिमीहरू कसरी सुन्छौ, त्यसमा होसियार होओ, किनभने जससँग छ त्यसलाई धेरै दिइनेछ, जससँग छैन उसले आफूसँग जे छ भनी सोचेको छ त्योसमेत उसबाट खोसिनेछ ।”
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
त्यसपछि येशूकी आमा र भाइहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तर भिडको कारणले गर्दा उहाँको नजिक आउन सकेनन् ।
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
र उहाँलाई यसो भनिएको थियो, “तपाईंकी आमा र भाइहरू तपाईंलाई भेट्ने इच्छा गरी बाहिर पर्खिरहेका छन् ।”
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
तर येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरा आमा र भाइहरू भनेका ती हुन्, जसले मेरो वचन सुन्छन् र पालना गर्छन् ।”
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
अब ती दिनहरूमा एक दिन येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “आओ, हामी तालको पल्लोपट्टि जाऔँ ।” तब उहाँहरू डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो ।
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
तर उहाँहरू यात्रामा हुनुहुँदा, प्रभु येशू निदाउनुभयो र त्यस तालमा धेरै ठुलो आँधीबेहरी आयो अनि तिनीहरूको डुङ्गा पानीले भरिन थाल्यो र तिनीहरू डरलाग्दो खतरामा थिए ।
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
त्यसपछि येशूका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए र यसो भन्दै उहाँलाई ब्युँझाए, “प्रभु, प्रभु, हामी त मर्नै लाग्यौँ ।” उहाँ उठ्नुभयो, र बतासलाई हप्काउनुभयो, पानीको बेग थामियो र त्यहाँ सुनसान भयो ।
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूको विश्वास कहाँ छ?” डराएर तिनीहरू अचम्मित हुँदै एक-अर्कालाई भन्दै थिए “उहाँ को हुनुहुन्छ, जसले आँधी र पानीलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ र तिनले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्छन्?”
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
उहाँहरू गेरासेनसको इलाकामा आइपुग्नुभयो, जुन गालीलको पारीपट्टि पर्छ ।
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
जब प्रभु डुङ्गाबाट पाखामा उत्रनुभयो, एउटा सहरबाट आएको एक जना मानिसले उहाँलाई भेट्यो र त्यस मानिसमा दुष्टात्माहरू थिए । किनभने लामो समयदेखि त्यस मानिसले कपडाहरू लगाएको थिएन र घरमा बस्दैनथ्यो, बरु चिहानहरूमा नै बस्दथियो ।
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
जब उसले येशूलाई देख्यो, ऊ चिच्च्यायो, उहाँको सामु लड्यो र उसले उच्च स्वरमा भन्यो, “सर्वोच्च परमेश्वरका पुत्र येशू, तपाईंसँग मेरो के सरोकार? म बिन्ती गर्छु कि मलाई नसताउनुहोस् ।”
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
किनभने येशूले त्यो मानिसबाट अशुद्ध आत्मालाई निस्केर आउने आज्ञा गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, किनकि धेरै पटक यसले उसलाई पक्रेर राखेको थियो । ऊ साङ्ग्ला र नेलले बाँधिएर पहरामा राखिएको भए तापनि उसले ती छिनालिहाल्थ्यो र दुष्ट आत्माद्वारा मरुभूमितिर डोर्याइन्थ्यो ।
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
त्यसपछि येशूले त्यसलाई सोध्नुभयो, “तेरो नाउँ के हो?” र त्यसले भन्यो, “फौज ।” किनभने धेरै दुष्ट आत्माहरू त्यसभित्र पसेका थिए ।
तिनीहरूलाई अगाध खाँदमा नपठाउनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई निरन्तर बिन्ती गरे । (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
अब त्यहाँ नजिकै डाँडामा सुँगुरको एक बथान चरिरहेको थियो र दुष्ट आत्माहरूले उहाँलाई सुँगुरको बथानमा पठाइदिन भनी बिन्ती गरे । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्ने आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
त्यसैले, त्यस मानिसबाट दुष्ट आत्माहरू निस्की सुँगुरको बथानमा पसे, र त्यो बथान भिरालोबाट हुर्रिंदै गएर समुद्रमा डुबेर मरे ।
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
सुँगुर चराइरहेका मानिसहरूले जे भइरहेको थियो त्यो देखेपछि तिनीहरू भाग्दै सहर र वरपरका ठाउँहरूमा गए र त्यो कुरो बताए ।
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
त्यसकारण, मानिसहरू जसले यसबारे सुने, के भएको थियो सो हेर्नलाई तिनीहरू येशूकहाँ आए र त्यस मानिस जसबाट दुष्ट आत्माहरू निस्केर गएका थिए, त्यसलाई कपडा लगाएर राम्रो अवस्थामा येशूको चरणमा बसिरहेको भेट्टाए र तिनीहरू डराए ।
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
तब जुन घटना घटेको ती मानिसहरूले देखेका थिए अर्थात् कसरी दुष्ट आत्माहरूद्वारा नियन्त्रित मानिस बचाइको थियो, सो तिनीहरूले अरूहरूलाई भने ।
37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
गेरासेन र वरपरका सबै मानिसहरूले येशूलाई तिनीहरूबाट जान आग्रह गरे, किनभने तिनीहरू साह्रै डराएका थिए ।
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
तर दुष्ट आत्माहरू निस्केर गएको मानिसले येशूसँगै जानलाई उहाँलाई बिन्ती गर्यो, तर येशूले यसो भन्दै उसलाई पठाउनुभयो,
39 “Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
“आफ्नो घर फर्क र परमेश्वरले तिम्रो निम्ति गर्नुभएका महान् कार्यहरूको स्मरण गर ।”
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
जब येशू फर्कनुभयो, भिडले उहाँलाई स्वागत गर्यो, किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले उहाँलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
हेर, याइरस नाउँ गरेका एक जना मानिस त्यहाँ आए, जो सभाघरका अगुवाहरूमध्ये एक थिए । याइरस प्रभु येशूका पाउमा घोप्टो परे र उहाँलाई उनको घरमा आउन बिन्ती गरे ।
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
किनभने उनको एउटै मात्र बाह्र वर्षकी छोरी मर्नै लागेकी थिइन् । तर उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा मानिसहरूको भिडले उहाँलाई घचेटिरहेको थियो ।
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
त्यहाँ एउटी बाह्र वर्षसम्म रगत बग्ने समस्या भएकी स्त्री थिइन् । तिनले आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण पैसा डाक्टरहरूकहाँ औषधी उपचारमा खर्चे गरिसकेकी थिइन्, तर तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि निको पार्न सकेका थिएनन् ।
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
तिनी येशूको पछिल्तिर आइन् र उहाँको कपडाको छेऊ छोइन् र तुरुन्तै तिनको रक्तश्राव रोकियो ।
45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
येशूले भन्नुभयो, “मलाई कसले छोयो?” जब सबैले यसलाई इन्कार गरे, पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु मानिसहरूको भिडले तपाईंलाई घेरेर घचेट्दै छन् ।”
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
तर येशूले भन्नुभयो, “कसैले मलाई छोयो, किनभने शक्ति मबाट बाहिर गइरहेको मैले थाहा पाएँ ।”
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
जब त्यस स्त्रीले आफूले गरेको कुरा लुकाउन नसक्ने देखिन्, तब काँप्दै येशूको चरणमा घोप्टो परिन्, तिनले येशूलाई छुनुको कारण र कसरी तुरुन्तै निको भइन् सबै मानिसहररूका सामु बताइन् ।
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “छोरी, तिम्रो विश्वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ । शान्तिसँग जाऊ ।”
49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
जब उहाँ अझै बोल्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, सभाघरका अगुवाको घरबाट एक जना आएर भने, “तिम्री छोरी मरिसकिन् । गुरुलाई दुःख नदेऊ ।”
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
तर जब येशूले त्यो सुन्नुभयो, उहाँले उसलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “नडराऊ, विश्वास मात्र गर र तिनी बचाइनेछिन् ।”
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
जब उहाँ घरमा आउनुभयो, तब पत्रुस, यूहन्ना र याकूब, केटीको बुबा र आमाबाहेक अरू कसैलाई पनि भित्र पस्ने अनुमति दिनुभएन ।
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
अनि त्यहाँ सबै मानिसहरू ती केटीका निम्ति रुँदै र विलाप गर्दै थिए । तर उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “नरोऊ, तिनी मरेकी छैनन्, तर निदाएकी मात्र छिन् ।”
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
तर तिनीहरू केटी मरेको थाहा पाएर, येशूलाई गिल्ला गर्दै हाँसे ।
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
तर उहाँले केटीलाई हातमा लिएर यसो भनेर बोलाउनुभयो, “नानी उठ ।”
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
तिनको आत्मा फर्क्यो, र तिनी तुरुन्तै उठिन् । उहाँले तिनलाई केही खान दिनका लागि आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
तिनका बुबा-आमा अचम्मित भए, तर त्यहाँ जे भएको थियो त्यो कसैलाई नभन्नू भनी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
