< 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 mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they stepped one on another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware you of 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 ।
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be 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 whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 मेरा मित्रहरू, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु कि शरीरलाई मार्नेहरूसँग नडराओ किनकि त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले केही गर्न सक्दैनन् ।
And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can 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 forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to 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 farthings, and not one of them is 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 very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि हरेक जसले मानिसहरूका अगि मलाई स्वीकार गर्दछ, परमप्रभुका दूतहरूका अगि मानिसका पुत्रले पनि उसलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।
Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 तर जसले मलाई मानिसहरूका सामु इन्कार गर्दछ, परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरका दूतहरूले उसलाई पनि इन्कार गर्नेछन् ।
But he that denies me before men shall 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 whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemes 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 ।
And when they bring you to the synagogues, and to magistrates, and powers, take you no thought how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say:
12 पवित्र आत्माले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही घडी के भन्‍नुपर्ने हो भनी सिकाउनुहुनेछ ।
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.
13 त्यसपछि भिडबाट एक जनाले उहाँलाई यसो भन्यो, “गुरुज्यू, मेरो भाइलाई सम्पत्तिको भागबन्डा गरिदिनुहोस् भनी बताइदिनुहोस् ।”
And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he 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 made me a 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, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
16 तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्‍टान्‍त भन्‍नुभयो, “धनी मानिसको भूमिले प्रशस्त उब्जनी दियो,
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 र उसले मनमनै भन्‍न लाग्यो, ‘म के गरूँ, किनकि मसँग अन्‍नको भण्डारण गर्ने प्रशस्त ठाउँ छैन?‘
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 उसले भन्यो, ‘म भकारीहरूलाई भत्काउनेछु र ठुलो बनाउनेछु । त्यहीँ नै सबै अन्‍नहरू र अन्य सामग्री भण्डारण गर्नेछु ।’
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow 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, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and 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, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
21 यसरी नै कसैले आफ्नो धन सम्पत्तिको संचय गरेर आफ्नै लागि राख्दछन् र यो परमेश्‍वरकहाँ पुग्दैन ।”
So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is 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 said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on.
23 जीवन खानेकुरा भन्दा र शरीर लगाउने कुराभन्दा अझ बढी उत्तम छ ।
The life is more than meat, and the body is 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 ।
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
25 र के तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले चिन्ता गरेर आफ्नो जीवनको आयुमा एकपल पनि थप्‍न सक्छौ र?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 तिमीहरू सबैभन्दा सानो काम गर्न योग्यका छैनौ भने बाँकी कुराहरूको लागि किन चिन्तित हुन्छौ?
If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take you thought for the rest?
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 ।
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like 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 ।
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 के खाऔँला र के पिऔँला भनी नभौतारिओ र चिन्ता नगर ।
And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither be you of doubtful mind.
30 संसार भरका सबै राष्‍ट्रहरूले यही कुराको खोजी गर्दछन् र तिम्रा पिताले तिम्रा सबै आवश्‍यकताहरू जान्‍नुहुन्छ ।
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 तर उहाँको राज्यको खोजी गर, र यी सबै थोकहरू तिमीलाई थपिनेछन् ।
But rather seek you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you.
32 सानो बगाल हो, नडराओ, किनकि तिम्रा पिताले तिमीलाई राज्य दिन अति खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 that you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
34 जहाँ तिम्रो धन छ, त्यहीँ नै तिम्रो मन पनि हुनेछ ।
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 तिम्रो लामो पोसाक कम्मरको पेटीसम्म होस् र तिम्रा बत्तीहरू बलिरहून् ।
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 आफ्नो मालिक विवाहको भोजबाट फर्केर आउने प्रतीक्षामा रहेका मानिसहरूझैँ होओ । जब मालिक आउँछ र ढोका ढकढकाउँदछ, तिनीहरूले तुरुन्तै ढोका खोल्नेछन् ।
And you yourselves like to men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open to 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 when he comes shall find watching: truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and 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 ।
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 तर पनि यो जानी राख, कि यदि घरको मालिकलाई चोर कुन बेला आउँछ भन्‍ने थाहा भएको भए उसले आफ्नो घर फोर्नबाट बचाउने थियो ।
And this know, that if the manager of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 जागा रहो, किनभने तिमीहरूलाई मानिसका पुत्र कुन घडीमा आउँछ भन्‍ने कुरा थाहा छैन ।”
Be you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
41 पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले यो दृष्‍टान्‍त हामीलाई मात्रै भन्‍नुभएको हो, कि सबैलाई?”
Then Peter said to him, Lord, speak you this parable to us, or even to all?
42 प्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “विश्‍वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् व्यवस्थापकलाई मालिकले आफूमुनिका सेवकहरूलाई उनीहरूको भागको खाना ठिक समयमा खाना दिन्छन् ।
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 धन्य हो त्यो सेवक, जसले आफ्नो मालिक फर्कंदा यी कार्यहरू गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
44 म साँचो भन्दछु, कि उसले सबै सम्पत्तिको हक उसलाई दिनेछ ।
Of a truth I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
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 and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to 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 when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion 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 ।
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did 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 he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 म पृथ्वीमा आगो वर्षाउन आएको हुँ र म जे चाहन्छु त्यो भइसकेको छ ।
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 तर मैले एउटा बप्‍तिस्‍मा लिनुपर्नेछ, यो पुरा नहुन्जेलसम्म मैले कष्‍ट भोग्‍नुपर्छ ।
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 के म पृथ्वीमा शान्ति ल्याउन आएको हुँ भनी सोच्द्छौ? होइन, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि म बरु विभाजन ल्याउन आएँ ।
Suppose you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
52 अब परिवारमा भएका पाँच जना मानिसमध्ये तिन जना दुई जनाको विरुद्धमा वा दुई जना तिन जनाको विरुद्धमा हुनेछन् ।
For from now on there shall be five in one house divided, three 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 shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her 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 said also to the people, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
55 जब दक्षिणबाट बतास बहन्छ, तिमीहरू भन्दछौ, ‘त्यो एकदमै प्रचण्ड तातो हुनेछ र त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।’
And when you see the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
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 can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that you do not discern this time?
57 तिम्रो आफ्नै लागि जे कुरा ठिक छ, त्यसमा किन न्याय गर्दैनौ?
Yes, and why even of yourselves judge you not what is right?
58 तिमी आफ्नो विरोधीसँग प्रशासककहाँ जाँदा, बाटोमा नै आफ्नो मुद्दा मिलाऊ ताकि उसले तिमीलाई न्यायमा नडोर्‍याओस् र हाकिमकहाँ नसुम्पोस्, नत्रता हाकिमले तिमीलाई झ्यालखानामा हाल्नेछ ।
When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
59 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, “तिमी कहिल्यै पनि त्यहाँबाट मुक्‍त भएर आउन सक्दैनौ जबसम्म तिमीले त्यसको पैसा चुक्‍ता गर्दैनौँ ।”
I tell you, you shall not depart there, till you have paid the very last mite.
