लुका 14
1 एउटा विश्राम दिनमा जब उहाँ फरिसीहरूका एक जना अगुवाको घरमा रोटी खान जानुभयो, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई नजिकबाट हेरिराखेका थिए ।
Then it happened, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.
2 हेर, त्यहाँ उहाँको अगाडि एउटा मानिस थियो जो छारे रोगबाट ग्रसित थियो ।
And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!
3 येशूले यहूदी व्यवस्थाका पण्डितहरू र फरिसीहरूलाई सोध्नुभयो, “विश्राम दिनमा निको पार्नु उचित छ वा छैन?
And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 तर तिनीहरू मौन रहे । त्यसैले, येशूले त्यसलाई समातेर निको पार्नुभयो र उसलाई पठाइदिनुभयो ।
But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.
5 उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूमध्ये कसले आफ्नो छोरा अथवा गोरुलाई विश्राम दिनको दिन इनारमा खसेको देख्दा तुरुन्तै बाहिर निकाल्दैन र?”
Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
6 तिनीहरूले ती कुराहरूको जवाफ दिन सकेनन् ।
And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
7 जब येशूले ख्याल गर्नुभयो कि कसरी ती जो बोलाइएकाहरूले आदरको आसन छान्ने गर्दथे, तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले एउटा उखान भन्नुभयो ।
Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:
8 “जब तिमीहरूलाई कसैले विवाह भोजमा बोलाउँछ, आदरको ठाउँमा नबस किनकि तिमीभन्दा अझै आदरको मानिसलाई बोलाएको हुन सक्दछ ।
“Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;
9 जब बोलाइएका दुवै जना आउँदछन्, उसले तिमीलाई भन्दछ, ‘तपाईं बसेको यो ठाउँ उहाँका लागि छोडिदिनुहोस्‘भन्ला र लाजकासाथ तिमीले त्यो ठाउँ छोडेर तल्लो ठाउँमा बस्नुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
then he who invited you both will come and say, ‘You, give this man place!’ and then, with shame, you start to take the lowest place.
10 तर जब तिमीलाई निमन्त्रणा गरिन्छ, गएर कम महत्त्वको ठाउँमा बस, ताकि तिमीलाई बोलाउने मानिस आएर साथी माथिल्लो स्थानमा गएर बस्नुहोस् भनेर भनोस् । तब तिम्रो टेबलमा बस्नेहरूका बिचमा तिम्रो आदर हुनेछ ।
Rather, whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will have honor in the presence of your fellow guests.
11 हरेक जसले आफूलाई उचाल्दछ त्यसलाई होच्याइनेछ, र जसले आफूलाई होच्याउँछ त्यो उच्च पारिनेछ ।
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 उहाँलाई बोलाउनुभएको मानिसलाई येशूले भन्नुभयो, “जब तिमीले कसैलाई खाना खान बोलाउँछौ, तब आफ्ना साथीहरू वा आफ्ना दाजुभाइहरू वा आफ्ना नातेदारहरू वा आफ्ना धनी छिमेकीहरूलाई नबोलाऊ किनकि तिनीहरूले पनि तिमीलाई त्यसको बदला बोलाउन सक्दछन् ।
Then He said directly to His host: “Whenever you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.
13 तर जब तिमीले भोज दिन्छौ, गरिब, लुला-लङ्गडा र दृष्टिविहीनहरूलाई बोलाऊ ।
But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
14 र तिमी आशिषित् हुनेछौ, किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीलाई तिम्रो गुणा फिर्ता गर्न सक्दैनन् । किनकि धर्मीहरूको पुनरुत्थान हुँदा तिम्रो गुण तिरिनेछ ।”
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 येशूसँगै टेबुलमा बस्दा तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना जसले यी कुराहरू सुन्यो, जब उसले उहाँलाई भन्यो, “त्यो धन्यको हो जसले परमेश्वरको राज्यमा रोटी खानेछ ।”
Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!”
16 तर येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसले ठुलो भोजको आयोजना गर्यो र धेरैलाई निम्तो दियो ।
So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.
17 जब भोज तयार भयो, तब उसले आफ्नो सेवकलाई निम्तो गरिएकाहरूलाई बोलाउन पठायो ‘आउनुहोस् सबै कुरा तयार भइसक्यो ।’
And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’
18 तिनीहरू सबैले फरक-फरक किसिमको बहाना बनाउन थाले । पहिलोले भन्यो, ‘मैले भर्खर खेत किनेको छु र मैले गएर त्यो हेर्नुपर्छ । कृपया मलाई माफ गर्नुहोस् ।’
But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’
19 र अर्कोले भन्यो, ‘मैले पाँच हल गोरु किनेको छु र मैले तिनीहरूलाई जोत्नुपर्छ । कृपया मलाई माफ गर्नुहोस् ।’
Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
20 र अर्को मानिसले भन्यो, ‘मैले श्रीमती विवाह गरेको छु, त्यसकारण म आउन सक्दिनँ ।’
Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’
21 त्यो सेवक फर्केर आएर आफ्ना मालिकलाई ती कुराहरू सुनाइदियो, तब त्यस घरका मालिक रिसाए र सेवकलाई भने, ‘छिटो बाहिर गल्ली र सहरका खुल्ला मैदानमा जाऊ र गरिब, लुला, लङ्गडा, दृष्टिविहीनहरूलाई यहाँ ल्याऊ ।’
So that slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 तब सेवकले भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंको आदेशअनुसार सबै कुरा भयो, तरै पनि त्यहाँ अझै ठाउँ बाँकी छ ।’
And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 मालिकले सेवकलाई भने, ‘राजमार्गहरू, गल्लीहरूमा गएर मानिसहरूलाई भित्र आउन अनुरोध गर, ताकि मेरो घर भरिएको होस् ।
Then the master said to the slave: ‘Go out to the roads and hedges and make people come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 किनकि म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, पहिला बोलाएकाहरू कसैले पनि मेरो भोज चाख्न पाउने छैन ।’
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”
25 ठुलो भिड उहाँसँग गइराखेको थियो, र उहाँ तिनीहरूतिर फर्केर भन्नुभयो,
Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:
26 “यदि कोही मेरो पछि आउँछ भने र आफ्नो आमा, बुबा, श्रीमती, छोराछोरी, दाजुभाइ र दिदी-बहिननी, र आफ्नै जीवनलाई पनि इन्कार गर्दैन भने, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27 जसले आफ्नो क्रुस बोकेर मेरो पछि लाग्दैन, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 तिमीहरूमध्ये को होला, जसले एउटा धरहरा बनाउने इच्छा गर्दछ र पहिला बसेर निर्माण सम्पन्न गर्न सक्ने रुपियाँ-पैसा छ कि छैन भनेर त्यसको हिसाब गर्दैन र?
“Further, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
29 नत्रभने, उसले जग बसालिसकेपछि निर्माण सम्पन्न गर्न सकेन भने, यसलाई देख्ने सबैले उसको गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र
This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,
30 भन्नेछन्, ‘यो मानिसले निर्माण गर्न त सुरु गर्यो तर सिद्धयाउन सकेन ।’
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
31 अथवा त्यो कस्तो राजा हो, जसले आफूसँग भएको दस हजार मानिसका साथ अर्को बिस हजार मानिस भएको राजासँग सामना गर्न सक्छु कि सक्दिनँ भनी पहिला बसेर सल्लाह लिँदैन?
“Or what king, going to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 र यदि सक्दैन भने, अर्को सेना टाढा हुदाँ नै उसको राजदूत पठाएर शान्तिको शर्त राख्न सक्छ ।
And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.
33 त्यसैले, तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले आफूसँग भएको सबै कुरा त्याग्न सक्दैन भने, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
“So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
34 नुन असल हो, तर यदि नुनले यसको स्वाद गुमायो भने, यसलाई कसरी फेरि नुनिलो बनाउने?
Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?
35 यो जमिनको लागि काम लाग्दैन वा मलको थुप्रोको लागि पनि । यो कुल्चन र फ्याँक्न को लागि मात्र हुन्छ । जसको कान छ, त्यसले सुनोस् ।”
It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
