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 come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of hypocrisy.
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 that is covered up which will not be uncovered, nor hidden 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 ।
Whatever therefore you have said in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what you have whispered within closed doors will be proclaimed from the house-tops.
4 मेरा मित्रहरू, म तिमीलाई भन्दछु कि शरीरलाई मार्नेहरूसँग नडराओ किनकि त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले केही गर्न सक्दैनन् ।
"But to you who are my friends I say, "'Be not afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do nothing further.
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 warn you whom to fear: fear him who after killing has power to throw into Gehenna: 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 a penny? and yet not one of them is a thing forgotten in God's sight.
7 तर उहाँले तिम्रा कपालका सबै रौँको पनि गणना गर्नुभएको छ । उहाँसित नडराओ, किनकि तिमीहरू धेरै भङ्गेराहरूभन्दा पनि मूल्यवान् छौ ।
But the very hairs on your heads are all counted. Away with fear: you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.'
8 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, कि हरेक जसले मानिसहरूका अगि मलाई स्वीकार गर्दछ, परमप्रभुका दूतहरूका अगि मानिसका पुत्रले पनि उसलाई स्वीकार गर्नेछन् ।
"And I tell you that every man who shall have acknowledged me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
9 तर जसले मलाई मानिसहरूका सामु इन्कार गर्दछ, परमप्रभु परमेश्वरका दूतहरूले उसलाई पनि इन्कार गर्नेछन् ।
But he who disowns me before men will be disowned 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 ।
"Moreover every one who shall speak against the Son of Man, may obtain forgiveness; but he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never obtain forgiveness.
11 जब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सभाघरको शासक र अधिकारीहरूको अगि ल्याउनेछन, कसरी प्रतिकार गर्ने र के बोल्ने भन्ने विषयमा चिन्तित नहोओ ।
And when they are bringing you before synagogues and magistrates and governors, do not anxiously ponder the manner or matter of your defence, nor what you are to say;
12 पवित्र आत्माले तिमीहरूलाई त्यही घडी के भन्नुपर्ने हो भनी सिकाउनुहुनेछ ।
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you at that very moment what you must say."
13 त्यसपछि भिडबाट एक जनाले उहाँलाई यसो भन्यो, “गुरुज्यू, मेरो भाइलाई सम्पत्तिको भागबन्डा गरिदिनुहोस् भनी बताइदिनुहोस् ।”
Just then a man in the crowd appealed to Him. "Rabbi," he said, "tell my brother to give me a share of the inheritance."
14 येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “हे मानिस, कसले मलाई तिमीहरूमाथि न्यायधीश र मध्यस्तकर्ता बनायो?”
"Man," He replied, "who has constituted me a judge or arbitrator 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 to the people He said, "Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for no one's life consists in the superabundance of his possessions."
16 तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो, “धनी मानिसको भूमिले प्रशस्त उब्जनी दियो,
And He spoke a parable to them. "A certain rich man's lands," He said, "yielded abundant crops,
17 र उसले मनमनै भन्न लाग्यो, ‘म के गरूँ, किनकि मसँग अन्नको भण्डारण गर्ने प्रशस्त ठाउँ छैन?‘
and he debated within himself, saying, "'What am I to do? for I have no place in which to store my crops.'
18 उसले भन्यो, ‘म भकारीहरूलाई भत्काउनेछु र ठुलो बनाउनेछु । त्यहीँ नै सबै अन्नहरू र अन्य सामग्री भण्डारण गर्नेछु ।’
"And he said to himself, "'This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and in them I will store up all my harvest and my wealth;
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 life, "'Life, you have ample possessions laid up for many years to come: take your ease, eat, drink, 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 him, "'Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall they be?'
21 यसरी नै कसैले आफ्नो धन सम्पत्तिको संचय गरेर आफ्नै लागि राख्दछन् र यो परमेश्वरकहाँ पुग्दैन ।”
"So is it with him who amasses treasure for himself, but has no riches in God."
22 येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यसकारण म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, आफ्नो जीवनको विषयमा के खाऔँला वा के पहिरौँला भनी चिन्ता नगर ।
Then turning to His disciples He said, "For this reason I say to you, 'Dismiss all anxious care for your lives, inquiring what you are to eat, and for your bodies, what you are to put on.'
23 जीवन खानेकुरा भन्दा र शरीर लगाउने कुराभन्दा अझ बढी उत्तम छ ।
For life is a greater gift than food, and the body is a greater gift than clothing.
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. They neither sow nor reap, and have neither store-chamber nor barn. And yet God feeds them. How far more precious are you than the birds!
25 र के तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले चिन्ता गरेर आफ्नो जीवनको आयुमा एकपल पनि थप्न सक्छौ र?
And which of you is able by anxious thought to add a moment to his life?
26 तिमीहरू सबैभन्दा सानो काम गर्न योग्यका छैनौ भने बाँकी कुराहरूको लागि किन चिन्तित हुन्छौ?
If then you are unable to do even a very little thing, why be over-anxious about other matters?
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 grow. They neither labour nor spin. And yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was as beautifully dressed 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 ।
But if God so clothes the vegetation in the fields, that blooms to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more certainly will He clothe you, you men of feeble faith!
29 के खाऔँला र के पिऔँला भनी नभौतारिओ र चिन्ता नगर ।
"Therefore, do not be asking what you are to eat nor what you are to drink; and do not waver between hope and fear.
30 संसार भरका सबै राष्ट्रहरूले यही कुराको खोजी गर्दछन् र तिम्रा पिताले तिम्रा सबै आवश्यकताहरू जान्नुहुन्छ ।
For though the nations of the world pursue these things, as for you, your Father knows that you need them.
31 तर उहाँको राज्यको खोजी गर, र यी सबै थोकहरू तिमीलाई थपिनेछन् ।
But make His Kingdom the object of your pursuit, and these things shall be given you in addition.
32 सानो बगाल हो, नडराओ, किनकि तिम्रा पिताले तिमीलाई राज्य दिन अति खुसी हुनुहुन्छ ।
"Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving 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. Provide yourselves with purses that will never wear out, a treasure inexhaustible in Heaven, where no thief can come nor moth consume.
34 जहाँ तिम्रो धन छ, त्यहीँ नै तिम्रो मन पनि हुनेछ ।
For where your wealth is stored, there also will your heart be.
35 तिम्रो लामो पोसाक कम्मरको पेटीसम्म होस् र तिम्रा बत्तीहरू बलिरहून् ।
"Have your girdles on, and let your lamps be alight;
36 आफ्नो मालिक विवाहको भोजबाट फर्केर आउने प्रतीक्षामा रहेका मानिसहरूझैँ होओ । जब मालिक आउँछ र ढोका ढकढकाउँदछ, तिनीहरूले तुरुन्तै ढोका खोल्नेछन् ।
and be yourselves like men waiting for their master--on the look-out till he shall return from the wedding feast--that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door instantly.
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 their Master when He comes shall find on the watch. I tell you in solemn truth, that He will tie an apron round Him, and will bid them recline at table while He comes and waits on 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 whether it be in the second watch or in the third that He comes and finds them so, blessed 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 ।
Of this be sure, that if the master of the house had known what time the robber was coming, he would have kept awake and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 जागा रहो, किनभने तिमीहरूलाई मानिसका पुत्र कुन घडीमा आउँछ भन्ने कुरा थाहा छैन ।”
Be you also ready, for at an hour when you are not 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 addressing this parable to us, or to all alike?"
42 प्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “विश्वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् व्यवस्थापकलाई मालिकले आफूमुनिका सेवकहरूलाई उनीहरूको भागको खाना ठिक समयमा खाना दिन्छन् ।
"Who, then," replied the Lord, "is the faithful and intelligent steward whom his Master will put in charge of His household to serve out their rations at the proper times?
43 धन्य हो त्यो सेवक, जसले आफ्नो मालिक फर्कंदा यी कार्यहरू गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Blessed is that servant whom his Master when He comes shall find so doing.
44 म साँचो भन्दछु, कि उसले सबै सम्पत्तिको हक उसलाई दिनेछ ।
I tell you truly that He will put him in authority 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 should say in his heart, 'My Master is a long time in coming,' and should begin to beat the menservants and the maids, and to eat and drink, drinking even to excess;
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 is not expecting Him and at an hour that he knows not of, and will punish him severely, and make him share the lot of the unfaithful.
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 who has been told his Master's will and yet made no preparation and did not obey His will, 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 ।
But he who had not been told it and yet did what deserved the scourge, will receive but few lashes. To whomsoever much has been given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him a larger amount will be demanded.
49 म पृथ्वीमा आगो वर्षाउन आएको हुँ र म जे चाहन्छु त्यो भइसकेको छ ।
"I came to throw fire upon the earth, and what is my desire? Oh that it were even now kindled!
50 तर मैले एउटा बप्तिस्मा लिनुपर्नेछ, यो पुरा नहुन्जेलसम्म मैले कष्ट भोग्नुपर्छ ।
But I have a baptism to undergo; and how am I pent up till it is accomplished!
51 के म पृथ्वीमा शान्ति ल्याउन आएको हुँ भनी सोच्द्छौ? होइन, म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि म बरु विभाजन ल्याउन आएँ ।
Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? No, I tell you that I came to bring dissension.
52 अब परिवारमा भएका पाँच जना मानिसमध्ये तिन जना दुई जनाको विरुद्धमा वा दुई जना तिन जनाको विरुद्धमा हुनेछन् ।
For from this time there will be in one house five persons split into parties. Three will form a party against two and two will form a party 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 against son and son against father; mother attacking daughter and daughter her mother, mother-in-law her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law 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 ।’
Then He said to the people also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, 'There is to be a shower;' and it comes to pass.
55 जब दक्षिणबाट बतास बहन्छ, तिमीहरू भन्दछौ, ‘त्यो एकदमै प्रचण्ड तातो हुनेछ र त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।’
And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be burning hot;' 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?
Vain pretenders! You know how to read the aspect of earth and sky. How is it you cannot read this present time?
57 तिम्रो आफ्नै लागि जे कुरा ठिक छ, त्यसमा किन न्याय गर्दैनौ?
"Why, too, do you not of yourselves arrive at just conclusions?
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 when, with your opponent, you are going before the magistrate, on the way take pains to get out of his power; for fear that, if he should drag you before the judge, the judge may hand you over to the officer of the court, and the officer lodge you in prison.
59 म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, “तिमी कहिल्यै पनि त्यहाँबाट मुक्त भएर आउन सक्दैनौ जबसम्म तिमीले त्यसको पैसा चुक्ता गर्दैनौँ ।”
Never, I tell you, will you get free till you have paid the last farthing."
