< लूका 18 >

1 तब यीशु न अपनो चेलावों ख दृष्टान्त म कह्यो कि हमेशा प्रार्थना करनो अऊर हिम्मत नहीं छोड़न ख होना असो सिखायो।
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
2 “कोयी शहर म एक सच्चो रहत होतो, जो परमेश्वर सी नहीं डरत होतो अऊर नहीं कोयी आदमी की परवाह करत होतो।
“There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
3 उच शहर म एक विधवा भी रहत होती, जो ओको जवर आय–आय क कहत होती, ‘मोरो न्याय कर क् मोख आरोप लगावन वालो सी बचाव!’
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
4 कुछ समय तक त ऊ नहीं मान्यो पर आखरी म अपनो आप म बिचार कर ख कह्यो, ‘जब कि मय परमेश्वर सी नहीं डरू, अऊर नहीं आदमी की कुछ परवाह करू हय,
For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
5 तब भी या विधवा मोख सतावती रह्य हय, येकोलायी मय ओको न्याय चुकाऊं, कहीं असो नहीं होय कि बार-बार आय क आखिर म मोरी नाक म दम करेंन!’”
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
6 प्रभु न कह्यो, “सुनो, यो अधर्मी न्यायधीश न का कह्यो?
Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
7 येकोलायी का परमेश्वर अपनो चुन्यो हुयो को न्याय नहीं चुकायेंन, जो रात–दिन ओकी मदत लायी पुकारतो रह्य हंय? का ऊ उन्को मदत करन म देर करेंन?
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
8 मय तुम सी कहू हय, ऊ तुरतच उन्को न्याय चुकायेंन। तब भी आदमी को बेटा जब आयेंन, त का ऊ धरती पर विश्वास पायेंन?”
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
9 यीशु न उन लोगों सी जो अपनो ऊपर भरोसा रखत होतो, कि हम सच्चो हंय, अऊर दूसरों ख तुच्छ जानत होतो, यो दृष्टान्त कह्यो:
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
10 “दोय आदमी मन्दिर म प्रार्थना करन लायी गयो: एक फरीसी होतो अऊर दूसरों कर लेनवालो।
“Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 “फरीसी खड़ो होय क अपनो मन म यो प्रार्थना करन लग्यो, ‘हे परमेश्वर, मय तोरो धन्यवाद करू हय कि मय दूसरों आदमी को जसो लोभी, अधर्मी, अऊर व्यभिचारी नहीं, अऊर नहीं यो कर लेनवालो को जसो हय।
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
12 मय हप्ता म दोय बार उपवास रखू हय, मय अपनी सब कमायी को दसवा अंश भी देऊ हय।’
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
13 “पर कर लेनवालो न दूर खड़ो होय क, स्वर्ग को तरफ आंखी उठावनो भी नहीं चाह्यो, बल्की अपनी छाती पीट–पीट क कह्यो, ‘हे परमेश्वर, मय पापी पर दया कर!’
Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even to raise his eyes to heaven, but he kept striking his breast and saying ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 यीशु न कह्यो, मय तुम सी कहू हय कि ऊ फरीसी नहीं, पर योच कर लेनवालो आदमी सच्चो ठहरायो गयो अऊर ऊ अपनो घर गयो; कहालीकि जो कोयी अपनो आप ख बड़ो बनायेंन, ऊ नम्र करयो जायेंन; अऊर जो अपनो आप ख नम्र बनायेंन, ऊ बड़ो करयो जायेंन।”
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 तब लोग अपनो बच्चां ख भी ओको जवर लान लग्यो कि ऊ उन्को पर हाथ रखेंन, पर चेलावों न देख क उन्ख डाट्यो।
Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
16 यीशु न बच्चां ख जवर बुलाय क कह्यो, “बच्चां ख मोरो जवर आवन दे, अऊर उन्ख मना मत करो: कहालीकि परमेश्वर को राज्य असोच को हय।
Jesus, however, called the little children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said, “and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
17 मय तुम सी सच कहू हय कि जो कोयी परमेश्वर को राज्य ख बच्चा को जसो स्वीकार नहीं करेंन ऊ ओको म कभी सिरनो नहीं पायेंन।”
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
18 कोयी यहूदी मुखिया न यीशु सी पुच्छ्यो, “हे उत्तम गुरु, अनन्त जीवन को अधिकारी होन लायी मय का करू?” (aiōnios g166)
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – “Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 यीशु न ओको सी कह्यो, “तय मोख अच्छो कहालीकि कह्य हय?” कोयी अच्छो नहाय, “केवल एक, यानेकि परमेश्वर।
“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
20 तय आज्ञावों ख त जानय हय: ‘व्यभिचार नहीं करनो; हत्या नहीं करनो; अऊर चोरी नहीं करनो; कोयी की झूठी गवाही नहीं देनो; अपनो बाप अऊर अपनी माय को आदर करनो।’”
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 यहूदी मुखिया न कह्यो, “मय त यो आज्ञावों ख जब सी मय समझन लग्यो तब सी मानतो आयो हय।”
“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
22 यो सुन क, यीशु न ओको सी कह्यो, “तोरो म अब भी एक बात ख करनो हय, अपनो सब कुछ बिक क अपनो पैसा गरीबों म बाट दे, अऊर तोख स्वर्ग म धन मिलेंन; अऊर आय क मोरो पीछू होय जा।”
Hearing this, Jesus said to him, “There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
23 पर यो सुन क, ऊ बहुत उदास भयो, कहालीकि ऊ बड़ो धनी होतो।
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
24 यीशु न ओख देख क कह्यो, “धनवानों को परमेश्वर को राज्य म सिरनो कितनो कठिन हय!
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
25 परमेश्वर को राज्य म धनवान को सिरनो इतनो कठिन हय कि सूई को नाक म सी ऊंट को निकल जानो सहज हय।”
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!”
26 येको पर सुनन वालो न पुच्छ्यो, “त फिर कौन्को उद्धार होय सकय हय?”
“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
27 यीशु न कह्यो, “जो आदमी ख असम्भव हय, ऊ परमेश्वर ख सम्भव हय।”
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
28 पतरस न कह्यो, “देख! हम त घर–दार छोड़ क तोरो पीछू भय गयो हंय।”
“But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
29 “हां,” यीशु न उन्को सी कह्यो, “मय तुम सी सच कहू हय कि असो कोयी नहाय जेन परमेश्वर को राज्य लायी घर या पत्नी या भाऊ या माय-बाप या बाल–बच्चां ख छोड़ दियो हय;
“I tell you,” he answered, “that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
30 अऊर यो समय म भी जादा, यां आवन वालो युग म अनन्त जीवन मिलेंन, असो कोयी नहीं रहेंन।” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
who will not receive many times as much in the present, and in the age that is coming eternal life.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
31 तब यीशु न बारा चेलावों ख अलग लिजाय क उन्को सी कह्यो, “सुनो! हम यरूशलेम ख जाय रह्यो हंय, अऊर जितनी बाते आदमी को बेटा लायी भविष्यवक्तावों सी लिख्यो गयो हंय, हि सब पूरी होयेंन।
Gathering the Twelve around him, Jesus said to them, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
32 कहालीकि ऊ गैरयहूदी को हाथ म सौंप्यो जायेंन, अऊर हि ओख ठट्ठो म उड़ायेंन, अऊर ओको अपमान करेंन, अऊर ओको पर थूकेंन,
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
33 अऊर ओख कोड़ा मारेंन अऊर घात करेंन, अऊर ऊ तीसरो दिन फिर सी जीन्दो होयेंन।”
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 पर चेलावों न इन बातों म सी कोयी बात नहीं समझी; अऊर या बात उन्को सी लूकी रही, कि यीशु का कह्य रह्यो होतो उन्को समझ म नहीं आयो।
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
35 जब यीशु यरीहो नगर को जवर पहुंच्यो, त एक अन्धा आदमी सड़क को किनार बैठ्यो हुयो, भीख मांग रह्यो होतो।
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
36 ऊ भीड़ की चलनो की आवाज सुन क पूछन लग्यो, “यो का होय रह्यो हय?”
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
37 उन्न अन्धा ख बतायो, “यीशु नासरी जाय रह्यो हय।”
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
38 तब ओन पुकार क कह्यो, “हे यीशु, दाऊद की सन्तान, मोरो पर दया कर!”
he shouted out, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
39 जो आगु–आगु जाय रह्यो होतो, हि ओख डाटन लग्यो कि चुप रहो; पर ऊ अऊर भी जोर सी चिल्लावन लग्यो, “हे दाऊद की सन्तान, मोरो पर दया कर!”
Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
40 तब यीशु न रूक क आज्ञा दियो कि अन्धा आदमी ख मोरो जवर लावो, अऊर जब ऊ जवर आयो त यीशु न ओको सी पुच्छ्यो,
Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
41 “तय का चाहवय हय कि मय तोरो लायी करू?” ओन कह्यो, “हे प्रभु, यो कि मय फिर सी देखन लगू।”
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
42 यीशु न ओको सी कह्यो, “देखन लग! तोरो विश्वास न तोख अच्छो कर दियो हय।”
And Jesus said, “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
43 तब ऊ तुरतच देखन लग्यो अऊर परमेश्वर की बड़ायी करतो हुयो ओको पीछू भय गयो; अऊर सब लोगों न देख क परमेश्वर की स्तुति करी।
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
