< लुका 12 >

1 त्यसै बेला, जब हजारौँ मानिस एकै ठाउँमा जम्मा भएका थिए । उनीहरूको सङ्ख्या अत्यधिक भएको कारण एउटाले अर्कोलाई कुल्चिरहेका थियो । उहाँले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई यसो भन्‍न सुरु गर्नुभयो, “फरिसीहरूको खमिरबाट सावधान रहो, जुनचाहिँ पाखण्डीपना हो ।
In the meantime, myriads of the multitude having gathered together, So that they trode on one another, He began to speak to His disciples first; Take heed unto yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 तर कुनै पनि कुराहरू यसरी गुप्‍त छैनन् जुन प्रकट हुनै सक्दैनन् र कुनै पनि कुराहरू लुकेका छैनन् जुन कुरा थाहा नहोस् ।
But there is nothing hidden, which shall not be revealed: and concealed, that shall not be made known.
3 यसकारण, तिमीले जे कुराहरू अन्धकारमा भनेका छौ, त्यो ज्योतिमा सुनिनेछ र जे कुरा तिमीले भित्री कोठामा कानमा भनेका छौ, त्यो घरको धुरीबाट घोषणा गरिनेछ ।
Therefore so many things as you spoke in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and whatsoever you spoke in the ear in the secret chambers shall be proclaimed upon the houses.
4 मेरा मित्रहरू, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु कि शरीरलाई मार्नेहरूसँग नडराओ किनकि त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले केही गर्न सक्दैनन् ।
And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things, having nothing more to do.
5 तर म तिमीहरूलाई कोसँग डराउने भनी चेताउनी दिन्छु । त्यो व्यक्‍तिसँग डराओ जससित मारेपछि नरकमा फालिदिने अधिकार छ । हो, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, उहाँसँग डराओ । (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom you must fear: Fear him, who after he kills has power to cast into hell. Yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 के पाँचवटा भङ्गेरा दुई सिक्‍कामा बेचिँदैनन् र? परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिबाट एउटा पनि बिर्सेको हुँदैन ।
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
7 तर उहाँले तिम्रा कपालका सबै रौँको पनि गणना गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँसित नडराओ, किनकि तिमीहरू धेरै भङ्गेराहरूभन्दा पनि मूल्यवान् छौ ।
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are more important than many sparrows.
8 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि हरेक जसले मानिसहरूका अगि मलाई स्वीकार गर्दछ, परमप्रभुका दूतहरूका अगि मानिसका पुत्रले पनि उसलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।
But I say unto you, that every one who may confess me before the people, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 तर जसले मलाई मानिसहरूका सामु इन्कार गर्दछ, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरका दूतहरूले उसलाई पनि इन्कार गर्नेछन् ।
But the one denying me before the people will be denied before the angels of God.
10 हरेक जसले परमेश्‍वरका पुत्रको विरुद्धमा बोल्दछ, उसलाई क्षमा गरिनेछ, तर जसले पवित्र आत्माको विरुद्धमा निन्दा गर्दछ, उसलाई क्षमा गरिनेछैन ।
And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him having blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11 जब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सभाघरको शासक र अधिकारीहरूको अगि ल्याउनेछन, कसरी प्रतिकार गर्ने र के बोल्ने भन्‍ने विषयमा चिन्तित नहोओ ।
But when they may carry you into the synagogues, and tribunals, and authorities; do not be solicitous as to what you may apologize, or what you may say:
12 पवित्र आत्माले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही घडी के भन्‍नुपर्ने हो भनी सिकाउनुहुनेछ ।
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour the things which it behooveth you to speak.
13 त्यसपछि भिडबाट एक जनाले उहाँलाई यसो भन्यो, “गुरुज्यू, मेरो भाइलाई सम्पत्तिको भागबन्डा गरिदिनुहोस् भनी बताइदिनुहोस् ।”
And a certain one from the multitude said to Him, Teacher, speak to my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
14 येशूले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हे मानिस, कसले मलाई तिमीहरूमाथि न्यायधीश र मध्यस्तकर्ता बनायो?”
And He said to him; Man, who established me judge or a divider over you?
15 र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “हेर आफैँलाई लोभी इच्छाहरूबाट अलग राख, किनभने कसैको पनि जीवन उसको प्रशस्त धन सम्पत्तिको कारणले गर्दा जीवन प्रशस्ततामा रहन सक्दैन ।”
And He said to them, See, and beware of all covetousness: because his life is not in that which aboundeth to any one, from those things belonging to him.
16 तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्‍टान्‍त भन्‍नुभयो, “धनी मानिसको भूमिले प्रशस्त उब्जनी दियो,
He spake a parable to them, saying, The farm of a certain rich man was very productive:
17 र उसले मनमनै भन्‍न लाग्यो, ‘म के गरूँ, किनकि मसँग अन्‍नको भण्डारण गर्ने प्रशस्त ठाउँ छैन?‘
and he was reasoning in himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where I shall store my fruits?
18 उसले भन्यो, ‘म भकारीहरूलाई भत्काउनेछु र ठुलो बनाउनेछु । त्यहीँ नै सबै अन्‍नहरू र अन्य सामग्री भण्डारण गर्नेछु ।’
And he said, I will do this: I will take down my barns, and build greater, and there I will gather all my fruits and my goods.
19 म मेरो प्राणलाई भन्‍नेछु, ‘हे प्राण, तेरो लागि प्रशस्तै असल चिजहरू धेरै वर्षको लागि भण्डारण गरिएको छ । आराम गर, खा, पी र आनन्दित हो ।’
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 तर परमेश्‍वरले त्यसलाई भन्‍नुभयो, ‘मूर्ख मानिस, आजको रात नै तेरो प्राण फिर्ता लिइयो भने, तैँले तयार गरेको ती सब चिजहरू कसको हुनेछ?’
But God said to him, Thou fool, this night they are demanding thy soul from thee; and to whom shall those things which thou hast prepared, belong?
21 यसरी नै कसैले आफ्नो धन सम्पत्तिको संचय गरेर आफ्नै लागि राख्दछन् र यो परमेश्‍वरकहाँ पुग्दैन ।”
So is every one laying up treasure for himself, and not rich toward God.
22 येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, आफ्नो जीवनको विषयमा के खाऔँला वा के पहिरौँला भनी चिन्ता नगर ।
And He spoke to His disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not solicitous for your soul, what you may eat; nor for your body, what you may put on.
23 जीवन खानेकुरा भन्दा र शरीर लगाउने कुराभन्दा अझ बढी उत्तम छ ।
The soul is more than food, and the body more than raiment.
24 कागहरूलाई विचार गर, तिनीहरूले न त छर्छन् न त बटुल्दछन् । उनीहरूका भण्डारणहरू छैनन् अथवा भकारी पनि छैन, तर परमेश्‍वरले उनीहरूलाई खुवाउनुहुन्छ । तिमी चराहरूभन्दा धेरै मूल्यवान् छौ ।
Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?
25 र के तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले चिन्ता गरेर आफ्नो जीवनको आयुमा एकपल पनि थप्‍न सक्छौ र?
And which one of you being solicitous is able to add one moment to his existence?
26 तिमीहरू सबैभन्दा सानो काम गर्न योग्यका छैनौ भने बाँकी कुराहरूको लागि किन चिन्तित हुन्छौ?
If then you are powerless in the smallest matter, why are you solicitous about other things?
27 मैदानका लिली फुलहरूलाई विचार गर, तिनीहरू कसरी बढ्छन्? न त तिनीहरूले परिश्रम गर्छन्, न त मेहनत नै गर्छन, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, सोलोमन पनि आफ्ना सबै महिमामा यिनीहरूझैँ आभूषित थिएनन् ।
Observe the lilies, how they toil not, neither do they spin: and I say unto you, That Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.
28 यदि परमेश्‍वरले जमिनका घाँसलाई सुशोभित पार्नुहुन्छ जुन आज अस्तित्वमा छ, तर भोली आगोमा फालिनेछ भने, हे अल्प विश्‍वासी हो, त्यो भन्दाबढी तिमीहरूलाई कति धेरै सशोभित गर्नुहुनेछ ।
And if God so clothes the verdure flourishing in the fields to-day, and to-morrow cast into the oven; how much more are you, O ye of little faith?
29 के खाऔँला र के पिऔँला भनी नभौतारिओ र चिन्ता नगर ।
And do not seek what you may eat, and what you may drink, and with what you are clothed;
30 संसार भरका सबै राष्‍ट्रहरूले यही कुराको खोजी गर्दछन् र तिम्रा पिताले तिम्रा सबै आवश्‍यकताहरू जान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
for the heathens of the world are seeking after all these things: but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 तर उहाँको राज्यको खोजी गर, र यी सबै थोकहरू तिमीलाई थपिनेछन् ।
Moreover seek His kingdom and these things shall be added unto you.
32 सानो बगाल हो, नडराओ, किनकि तिम्रा पिताले तिमीलाई राज्य दिन अति खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
Fear not, little flock; because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 आफ्ना धन सम्पत्ति बेच र गरिबहरूलाई देओ । तिनलाई नखिइने थैलीभित्री राख; स्वर्गमा धन संचय गर, जहाँ चोरले चोर्न सक्दैन, र किराले हानि पुर्‍याउँदैन, न त खिया नै लाग्दछ ।
Sell your possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses that will not get old, and treasure in the heavens which can not be stolen, where the thief does not draw nigh, nor the moth corrupt.
34 जहाँ तिम्रो धन छ, त्यहीँ नै तिम्रो मन पनि हुनेछ ।
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be.
35 तिम्रो लामो पोसाक कम्मरको पेटीसम्म होस् र तिम्रा बत्तीहरू बलिरहून् ।
Let your loins be girted, and your lamps burning;
36 आफ्नो मालिक विवाहको भोजबाट फर्केर आउने प्रतीक्षामा रहेका मानिसहरूझैँ होओ । जब मालिक आउँछ र ढोका ढकढकाउँदछ, तिनीहरूले तुरुन्तै ढोका खोल्नेछन् ।
and be you like unto men waiting for their lord, when he may rise up from the marriage feast; in order that, coming and knocking, they may open unto him immediately.
37 धन्य हुन् ती सेवकहरू, जो आफ्नो मालिक फर्केर आउँदा उसले जागा रहेको भेट्टाउनेछ । म तिमीहरूलाई साँचो भन्दछु, कि उसले आफ्नो लामो वस्‍त्रलाई पेटीले कसेर भित्री भागमा सुरक्षित राखी खानामा बसाल्दछ र आएर उनीहरूको सेवा गर्नेछ ।
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord having come will find watching: truly I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and have them sit down, and having come will serve them.
38 यदि मालिक दोस्रो पटक रातको समय आयो भने पनि वा तेस्रो चोटि हेर्न आयो भने पनि तिनीहरू जागा भेट्टाइए भने, तिनीहरू धन्यका हुन् ।
If at the second, and third, watch he may come, happy are ye.
39 तर पनि यो जानी राख, कि यदि घरको मालिकलाई चोर कुन बेला आउँछ भन्‍ने थाहा भएको भए उसले आफ्नो घर फोर्नबाट बचाउने थियो ।
Know this, that if the landlord knew at what hour the thief cometh, he would not have permitted his house to be broken into.
40 जागा रहो, किनभने तिमीहरूलाई मानिसका पुत्र कुन घडीमा आउँछ भन्‍ने कुरा थाहा छैन ।”
Be ye also ready: because at an hour you do not think the Son of man cometh.
41 पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले यो दृष्‍टान्‍त हामीलाई मात्रै भन्‍नुभएको हो, कि सबैलाई?”
And Peter said to Him, Lord, do you speak this parable to us, or to all?
42 प्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “विश्‍वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् व्यवस्थापकलाई मालिकले आफूमुनिका सेवकहरूलाई उनीहरूको भागको खाना ठिक समयमा खाना दिन्छन् ।
The Lord said, Who then is the faithful, wise steward, whom the lord will establish over his house-hold, to give them their food in season?
43 धन्य हो त्यो सेवक, जसले आफ्नो मालिक फर्कंदा यी कार्यहरू गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Happy is that servant, whom his lord having come shall thus find watching.
44 म साँचो भन्दछु, कि उसले सबै सम्पत्तिको हक उसलाई दिनेछ ।
Truly I say unto you, that he will establish him over all his possessions.
45 तर यदि सेवकले आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो भन्दछ भने, मेरो मालिक फर्की आउन ढिलो गर्नुहुनेछ भनी स्‍त्री तथा पुरुष सेवकहरूलाई दुर्व्यवहार गरी कुटपिट गर्दछ अनि खाँदै, पिउँदै दाखमद्यले मातिन्छ ।
But if that servant may say in his heart, my lord delayeth his coming, and may begin to smite the servants and handmaidens, and to eat and drink, and be drunken;
46 त्यस सेवकले नचिताएको बेलामा मालिक फर्की आउनेछ, जुन घडी उसलाई थाहै हुनेछैन । आफ्नो मालिकले उसलाई भेटेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा गरी काट्नेछ र अविश्‍वासीहरूका लागि तयार पारेको ठाउँमा उसको नियुक्‍ति हुनेछ ।
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not expect, and in an hour in which he does not know, and will cut him off, and will appoint his part with the unbelievers.
47 त्यस सेवकलाई आफ्नो मालिकले यस्तै गर्नेछन भन्‍ने थाहा हुँदाहुँदै पनि आफैँलाई तयार नगरी वा आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार गरेको कारण उसलाई धेरै मुक्‍का हानिनेछ ।
But that servant knowing the will of his lord, and not preparing or doing according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 तर जसले थाहै नभईकन मुक्‍का पाउने योग्यको काम गर्दछ, उसलाई थोरै मात्र मुक्‍काहरू दिइनेछ । हरेक जसलाई धेरै दिइएको छ, उसबाट पनि चाहिए जति असुलिने छ, जसलाई तिनीहरूले धेरै जिम्मा दिइएको छ उसबाट धेरै नै फिर्ता मागिनेछ ।
But the one not knowing, and doing things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. But to every one to whom much is given, much will be required of him: and to whom they commit much, of him they will ask the more.
49 म पृथ्वीमा आगो वर्षाउन आएको हुँ र म जे चाहन्छु त्यो भइसकेको छ ।
I have come to send fire on the earth; and what do I will, if it is already kindled?
50 तर मैले एउटा बप्‍तिस्‍मा लिनुपर्नेछ, यो पुरा नहुन्जेलसम्म मैले कष्‍ट भोग्‍नुपर्छ ।
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it may be perfected!
51 के म पृथ्वीमा शान्ति ल्याउन आएको हुँ भनी सोच्द्छौ? होइन, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि म बरु विभाजन ल्याउन आएँ ।
Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I say unto you, Nay, but division.
52 अब परिवारमा भएका पाँच जना मानिसमध्ये तिन जना दुई जनाको विरुद्धमा वा दुई जना तिन जनाको विरुद्धमा हुनेछन् ।
For from now, there shall be five in one house divided, three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
53 त्यहाँ विभाजन हुनेछ । बाबुको विरुद्धमा छोरा र छोराको विरुद्धमा बाबु हुनेछ; आमा छोरीको विरुद्धमा र छोरी आमाको विरुद्धमा, सासू बुहारीको विरुद्धमा र बुहारी सासूको विरुद्धमा हुनेछिन् ।
the father against the son, and the son against the father; and the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.
54 येशूले भिडलाई पनि यसो भनिरहनुभएको थियो, “जब तिमीहरूले पश्‍चिम दिशामा बादल उठेको देख्दछौ र तुरुन्तै भन्दछौ, ‘वृष्‍टि हुनेछ र त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।’
And he also spoke to the multitudes, When you may see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, that the rain cometh; and it is so:
55 जब दक्षिणबाट बतास बहन्छ, तिमीहरू भन्दछौ, ‘त्यो एकदमै प्रचण्ड तातो हुनेछ र त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।’
and when the south wind is blowing, you say, that it will be hot; and it is so.
56 पाखण्डीहरू हो, तिमीहरू जान्दछौ कि पृथ्वी र स्वर्गमा भएका चिह्नहरूलाई हेरेर, के हुँदै छ त्यो भन्‍न सक्दछौ, तर अहिलेको वर्तमान समयको विषयमा केही भन्‍न सक्दैनौँ?
You hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the earth and the firmament; and how do you not discern this time?
57 तिम्रो आफ्नै लागि जे कुरा ठिक छ, त्यसमा किन न्याय गर्दैनौ?
Why do you not judge righteous judgment, even with reference to yourselves?
58 तिमी आफ्नो विरोधीसँग प्रशासककहाँ जाँदा, बाटोमा नै आफ्नो मुद्दा मिलाऊ ताकि उसले तिमीलाई न्यायमा नडोर्‍याओस् र हाकिमकहाँ नसुम्पोस्, नत्रता हाकिमले तिमीलाई झ्यालखानामा हाल्नेछ ।
For as you go with your adversary to the ruler, give attention on the way that you be reconciled with him; lest he may deliver you to the judge, and the judge shall turn you over to the officer, and the officer will cast you into prison.
59 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, “तिमी कहिल्यै पनि त्यहाँबाट मुक्‍त भएर आउन सक्दैनौ जबसम्म तिमीले त्यसको पैसा चुक्‍ता गर्दैनौँ ।”
I say unto you, You can by no means come out thence, till you have even paid the last mite.
