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 ।
Meanwhile the people had gathered in thousands, so that they trod on one another, when Jesus, addressing himself to his disciples, began by saying to them, “Be on your guard against the leaven – that is, the hypocrisy – of the Pharisees.
2 तर कुनै पनि कुराहरू यसरी गुप्त छैनन् जुन प्रकट हुनै सक्दैनन् र कुनै पनि कुराहरू लुकेका छैनन् जुन कुरा थाहा नहोस् ।
There is nothing, however covered up, which will not be uncovered, nor anything kept secret which will not become 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 ।
So all that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear, within closed doors, will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 मेरा मित्रहरू, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु कि शरीरलाई मार्नेहरूसँग नडराओ किनकि त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले केही गर्न सक्दैनन् ।
To you who are my friends I say, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but after that can do no more.
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)
I will show you of whom you should be afraid. Be afraid of him who, after killing you, has the power to fling you into Gehenna. Yes, I say, be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)
6 के पाँचवटा भङ्गेरा दुई सिक्कामा बेचिँदैनन् र? परमेश्वरको दृष्टिबाट एउटा पनि बिर्सेको हुँदैन ।
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them has escaped God’s notice.
7 तर उहाँले तिम्रा कपालका सबै रौँको पनि गणना गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँसित नडराओ, किनकि तिमीहरू धेरै भङ्गेराहरूभन्दा पनि मूल्यवान् छौ ।
No, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; 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 ।
Everyone, I tell you, who publicly acknowledges me, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God’s angels;
9 तर जसले मलाई मानिसहरूका सामु इन्कार गर्दछ, परमप्रभु परमेश्वरका दूतहरूले उसलाई पनि इन्कार गर्नेछन् ।
but the person who publicly disowns me will be altogether disowned before God’s angels.
10 हरेक जसले परमेश्वरका पुत्रको विरुद्धमा बोल्दछ, उसलाई क्षमा गरिनेछ, तर जसले पवित्र आत्माको विरुद्धमा निन्दा गर्दछ, उसलाई क्षमा गरिनेछैन ।
Everyone who will say anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but for the person who slanders the Holy Spirit there will be no forgiveness.
11 जब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सभाघरको शासक र अधिकारीहरूको अगि ल्याउनेछन, कसरी प्रतिकार गर्ने र के बोल्ने भन्ने विषयमा चिन्तित नहोओ ।
Whenever they take you before the synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defense will be, or what you will say;
12 पवित्र आत्माले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही घडी के भन्नुपर्ने हो भनी सिकाउनुहुनेछ ।
for the Holy Spirit will show you at the moment what you ought to say.”
13 त्यसपछि भिडबाट एक जनाले उहाँलाई यसो भन्यो, “गुरुज्यू, मेरो भाइलाई सम्पत्तिको भागबन्डा गरिदिनुहोस् भनी बताइदिनुहोस् ।”
“Teacher,” a man in the crowd said to Jesus, “tell my brother to share the property with me.”
14 येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “हे मानिस, कसले मलाई तिमीहरूमाथि न्यायधीश र मध्यस्तकर्ता बनायो?”
But Jesus said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbiter between 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 then he added, “Take care to keep yourselves free from every form of covetousness; for even in the height of their prosperity a person’s true life does not depend on what they have.”
16 तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो, “धनी मानिसको भूमिले प्रशस्त उब्जनी दियो,
Then Jesus told them this parable – “There was once a rich man whose land was very fertile;
17 र उसले मनमनै भन्न लाग्यो, ‘म के गरूँ, किनकि मसँग अन्नको भण्डारण गर्ने प्रशस्त ठाउँ छैन?‘
and he began to ask himself ‘What will I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?
18 उसले भन्यो, ‘म भकारीहरूलाई भत्काउनेछु र ठुलो बनाउनेछु । त्यहीँ नै सबै अन्नहरू र अन्य सामग्री भण्डारण गर्नेछु ।’
This is what I will do,’ he said; ‘I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them;
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 myself, Now you have plenty of good things put by for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’
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 the man ‘Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared – who will have it?’
21 यसरी नै कसैले आफ्नो धन सम्पत्तिको संचय गरेर आफ्नै लागि राख्दछन् र यो परमेश्वरकहाँ पुग्दैन ।”
So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God.”
22 येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, आफ्नो जीवनको विषयमा के खाऔँला वा के पहिरौँला भनी चिन्ता नगर ।
And Jesus said to his disciples, “That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about the life here – what you can get to eat; or about your body – what you can get to wear.
23 जीवन खानेकुरा भन्दा र शरीर लगाउने कुराभन्दा अझ बढी उत्तम छ ।
For life is more than food, and the body than its clothes.
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 ।
Think of the ravens – they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them! And how much more precious are you than birds!
25 र के तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले चिन्ता गरेर आफ्नो जीवनको आयुमा एकपल पनि थप्न सक्छौ र?
But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong your life a moment?
26 तिमीहरू सबैभन्दा सानो काम गर्न योग्यका छैनौ भने बाँकी कुराहरूको लागि किन चिन्तित हुन्छौ?
And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious 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 ।
Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed 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, even in the field, God so clothes the grass which is living today and tomorrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, you of little faith!
29 के खाऔँला र के पिऔँला भनी नभौतारिओ र चिन्ता नगर ।
And you – do not be always seeking what you can get to eat or what you can get to drink; and do not waver.
30 संसार भरका सबै राष्ट्रहरूले यही कुराको खोजी गर्दछन् र तिम्रा पिताले तिम्रा सबै आवश्यकताहरू जान्नुहुन्छ ।
These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 तर उहाँको राज्यको खोजी गर, र यी सबै थोकहरू तिमीलाई थपिनेछन् ।
No, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added for you.
32 सानो बगाल हो, नडराओ, किनकि तिम्रा पिताले तिमीलाई राज्य दिन अति खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
So do not be afraid, my little flock, for your Father has been 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 what belongs to you, and give in charity. Make yourselves purses that will not wear out – an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near, or moth works ruin.
34 जहाँ तिम्रो धन छ, त्यहीँ नै तिम्रो मन पनि हुनेछ ।
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 तिम्रो लामो पोसाक कम्मरको पेटीसम्म होस् र तिम्रा बत्तीहरू बलिरहून् ।
Make yourselves ready, with your lamps alight;
36 आफ्नो मालिक विवाहको भोजबाट फर्केर आउने प्रतीक्षामा रहेका मानिसहरूझैँ होओ । जब मालिक आउँछ र ढोका ढकढकाउँदछ, तिनीहरूले तुरुन्तै ढोका खोल्नेछन् ।
and be like servants who are waiting for their Master’s return from his wedding, so that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door for him at once.
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 ।
Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and have them take their places at the table, and will come 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 ।
Whether it is late at night, or in the early morning that he comes, if he finds all as it should be, then happy are they.
39 तर पनि यो जानी राख, कि यदि घरको मालिकलाई चोर कुन बेला आउँछ भन्ने थाहा भएको भए उसले आफ्नो घर फोर्नबाट बचाउने थियो ।
This you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.
40 जागा रहो, किनभने तिमीहरूलाई मानिसका पुत्र कुन घडीमा आउँछ भन्ने कुरा थाहा छैन ।”
You must also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.”
41 पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु, के तपाईंले यो दृष्टान्त हामीलाई मात्रै भन्नुभएको हो, कि सबैलाई?”
“Master,” said Peter, “are you telling this parable with reference to us or to everyone?”
42 प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् व्यवस्थापकलाई मालिकले आफूमुनिका सेवकहरूलाई उनीहरूको भागको खाना ठिक समयमा खाना दिन्छन् ।
“Who, then,” replied the Master, “is that trustworthy steward, the careful man, who will be placed by his master over his establishment, to give them their rations at the proper time?
43 धन्य हो त्यो सेवक, जसले आफ्नो मालिक फर्कंदा यी कार्यहरू गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
44 म साँचो भन्दछु, कि उसले सबै सम्पत्तिको हक उसलाई दिनेछ ।
His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
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 should that servant say to himself ‘My master is a long time coming,’ and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
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 ।
that servant’s master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.
47 त्यस सेवकलाई आफ्नो मालिकले यस्तै गर्नेछन भन्ने थाहा हुँदाहुँदै पनि आफैँलाई तयार नगरी वा आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार गरेको कारण उसलाई धेरै मुक्का हानिनेछ ।
The servant who knows his master’s wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
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 ।
while one who does not know his master’s wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
49 म पृथ्वीमा आगो वर्षाउन आएको हुँ र म जे चाहन्छु त्यो भइसकेको छ ।
I came to cast fire on the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?
50 तर मैले एउटा बप्तिस्मा लिनुपर्नेछ, यो पुरा नहुन्जेलसम्म मैले कष्ट भोग्नुपर्छ ।
There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!
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 am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.
52 अब परिवारमा भएका पाँच जना मानिसमध्ये तिन जना दुई जनाको विरुद्धमा वा दुई जना तिन जनाको विरुद्धमा हुनेछन् ।
For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be 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 ।
Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to 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 to the people Jesus said, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once ‘There is a storm coming,’ and come it does.
55 जब दक्षिणबाट बतास बहन्छ, तिमीहरू भन्दछौ, ‘त्यो एकदमै प्रचण्ड तातो हुनेछ र त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।’
And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say ‘It will be burning hot,’ and so it proves.
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?
Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?
57 तिम्रो आफ्नै लागि जे कुरा ठिक छ, त्यसमा किन न्याय गर्दैनौ?
Why don’t you yourselves decide 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, for instance, you are going with your opponent before a magistrate, on your way to the court do your best to be quit of him; otherwise he might drag you before the judge, then the judge will hand you over to the bailiff of the court, and the bailiff throw you into prison.
59 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, “तिमी कहिल्यै पनि त्यहाँबाट मुक्त भएर आउन सक्दैनौ जबसम्म तिमीले त्यसको पैसा चुक्ता गर्दैनौँ ।”
You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last cent.”
