< लुका 8 >

1 यसपछि छिट्टै प्रभु येशू आफ्ना बाह्र जना चेलाका साथमा वरपरका सहरहरू र गाउँहरूमा प्रचार गर्दै र परमेश्‍वरको राज्यको सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्दै जानुभयो ।
It happened soon afterward that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
2 केही स्‍त्रीहरू जो दुष्‍टात्मा र रोगहरूबाट निको भएका थिए, तिनीहरू पनि उहाँहरूसँगै थिए । तिनीहरू मरियम जसलाई मग्दलनी भनिन्थ्यो, जसबाट सातवटा भूतात्मा निकालिएका थिए ।
as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out;
3 हेरोदका कारिन्दा खुजासकी पत्‍नी योअन्‍ना र सुसन्‍ना, यिनीहरू र अरूहरू आफ्ना भौतिक स्रोतहरूबाट उहाँहरूका निम्ति जुटाई दिन्थे ।
Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager; Susanna; and many others, who, out of their possessions, provided for their needs.
4 अब मानिसहरूको एउटा ठुलो भिड एकसाथ भेला भएको थियो, साथै धेरै विभिन्‍न सहरबाट मानिसहरूसमेत उहाँकहाँ आइरहेका थिए । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई एउटा दृष्‍टान्त भन्‍नुभयो ।
While a large crowd of people was gathering, and people were coming to him from town after town, he told a parable:
5 “एउटा बिउ छर्ने केही बिउहरू छर्नलाई निस्क्यो । उसले छर्दा केही बिउहरू बाटोमा परे र ती बिउहरू खुट्टाले कुल्चिए, र आकाशका चराहरूले ती खाए ।
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 अरू बिउ ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परे र चाँडै ती बोटको रूपमा बढे र सुकिहाले, किनकि त्यो जमिन ओबानो थियो ।
Some fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 अझै अरू बिउहरू काँढाँका बिरुवाहरूमा परे, र बिउहरू सँगसँगै बिरुवाहरू पनि बढे र बिउहरूलाई काँढे झाडीले निसासिदियो ।
Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up together with the seed and choked it.
8 तर केही बिउहरू असल जमिनमा परे र सय गुणा फल फलाए ।” येशूले यी कुराहरू भनिसक्‍नुभएपछि उहाँले बोलाउनुभयो, जससँग सुन्‍ने कानहरू छन् त्यसले सुनोस् ।
But some fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater.” After Jesus had said these things, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 त्यसपछि उहाँका चेलाहरूले उहाँलाई यो दृष्‍टान्तको अर्थ के हुन सक्छ भनी सोधे ।
His disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरका राज्यका रहस्यका कुराहरू बुझ्‍ने अवसर दिइएको छ, तर बाँकी मानिसहरूलाई दृष्‍टान्तमा सिकाइने छ । त्यसकारण ‘वास्तवमा तिनीहरूले हेरेर पनि देख्‍नेछैनन्, सुनेर पनि बुझ्‍नेछैनन् ।’
He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but for others I speak in parables, so that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
11 अब दृष्‍टान्तको अर्थ यही होः बिउ परमेश्‍वरको वचन हो ।
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 बाटोको किनारमा परेका बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुन्छन्, तर दुष्‍ट आउँछ र तिनीहरूको हृदयमा भएका वचन खोसेर लैजान्छ ताकि तिनीहरूले विश्‍वास नगरून् र नबाँचून् ।
The ones along the path are those who have heard, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so they may not believe and be saved.
13 त्यसपछि ढुङ्गेनी जमिनमा परेको बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुन्छन्, खुसीसाथ ग्रहण गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरूको गहिराइ नभएकोले केवल एक क्षणका लागि मात्र विश्‍वास गर्छन् र जाँचको समयमा तिनीहरू पतन भएर जान्छन् ।
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root; they believe for a while, and in a time of testing they fall away.
14 काँडाको झाडीमा परेको बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्ता हुन् जसले वचन सुनेका छन्, तर जीवन जिउने क्रममा, संसारका धन सम्पत्तिको फिक्री, सुख विलासका कारण निसासिएर परिपक्‍व फल फलाउन सक्दैनन् ।
The seeds that fell among the thorns are people who hear the word, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 तर असल जमिनमा परेका बिउ ती मानिसहरूजस्तउ हुन्, जसले इमानदार र असल हृदयसाथ वचन सुनेर यसलाई सुरक्षितसाथ पक्री राख्छन् र धैर्यसाथ फल फलाउँछन् ।
But the seed that fell on the good soil, these are the ones who, hearing the word with an honest and good heart, hold it securely and bear fruit with patient endurance.
16 अनि बत्ती बालेर कसैले पनि भाँडाले छोप्दैन अथवा खाटमुनि राख्दैन, बरु यसलाई उसले सामदानमा राख्छ, ताकि भित्र पस्‍ने सबैले उज्यालो देखून् ।
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters may see the light.
17 किनभने कुनै पनि कुरालाई प्रकट हुन नसक्‍ने गरी लुकाउन सकिँदैन, न त कुनै पनि गोप्य कुरा प्रकट नै हुन नसक्‍ने र ज्योतिमा आउन नसक्‍ने हुन्छ ।
For nothing is hidden that will not be made known, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come into the light.
18 त्यसैकारण, तिमीहरू कसरी सुन्छौ, त्यसमा होसियार होओ, किनभने जससँग छ त्यसलाई धेरै दिइनेछ, जससँग छैन उसले आफूसँग जे छ भनी सोचेको छ त्योसमेत उसबाट खोसिनेछ ।”
So listen carefully, for to the one who has, more will be given to him, but the one who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 त्यसपछि येशूकी आमा र भाइहरू उहाँकहाँ आए, तर भिडको कारणले गर्दा उहाँको नजिक आउन सकेनन् ।
Then his mother and brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.
20 र उहाँलाई यसो भनिएको थियो, “तपाईंकी आमा र भाइहरू तपाईंलाई भेट्ने इच्छा गरी बाहिर पर्खिरहेका छन् ।”
He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 तर येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरा आमा र भाइहरू भनेका ती हुन्, जसले मेरो वचन सुन्छन् र पालना गर्छन् ।”
But Jesus answered and said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 अब ती दिनहरूमा एक दिन येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो, र तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “आओ, हामी तालको पल्लोपट्टि जाऔँ ।” तब उहाँहरू डुङ्गामा चढ्नुभयो ।
Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” They set sail.
23 तर उहाँहरू यात्रामा हुनुहुँदा, प्रभु येशू निदाउनुभयो र त्यस तालमा धेरै ठुलो आँधीबेहरी आयो अनि तिनीहरूको डुङ्गा पानीले भरिन थाल्यो र तिनीहरू डरलाग्दो खतरामा थिए ।
But as they sailed he fell asleep. A terrible windstorm came down on the lake, and their boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
24 त्यसपछि येशूका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए र यसो भन्दै उहाँलाई ब्युँझाए, “प्रभु, प्रभु, हामी त मर्नै लाग्यौँ ।” उहाँ उठ्नुभयो, र बतासलाई हप्काउनुभयो, पानीको बेग थामियो र त्यहाँ सुनसान भयो ।
Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, “Master! Master! We are about to die!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 अनि उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूको विश्‍वास कहाँ छ?” डराएर तिनीहरू अचम्मित हुँदै एक-अर्कालाई भन्दै थिए “उहाँ को हुनुहुन्छ, जसले आँधी र पानीलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ र तिनले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्छन्?”
Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” and they were afraid. While they were afraid they were also amazed, and they asked one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 उहाँहरू गेरासेनसको इलाकामा आइपुग्‍नुभयो, जुन गालीलको पारीपट्टि पर्छ ।
They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 जब प्रभु डुङ्गाबाट पाखामा उत्रनुभयो, एउटा सहरबाट आएको एक जना मानिसले उहाँलाई भेट्यो र त्यस मानिसमा दुष्‍टात्माहरू थिए । किनभने लामो समयदेखि त्यस मानिसले कपडाहरू लगाएको थिएन र घरमा बस्दैनथ्यो, बरु चिहानहरूमा नै बस्दथियो ।
When Jesus stepped on the land, he was met by a certain man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but among the tombs.
28 जब उसले येशूलाई देख्यो, ऊ चिच्‍च्‍यायो, उहाँको सामु लड्यो र उसले उच्‍च स्वरमा भन्यो, “सर्वोच्‍च परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र येशू, तपाईंसँग मेरो के सरोकार? म बिन्ती गर्छु कि मलाई नसताउनुहोस् ।”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and he said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
29 किनभने येशूले त्यो मानिसबाट अशुद्ध आत्मालाई निस्केर आउने आज्ञा गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, किनकि धेरै पटक यसले उसलाई पक्रेर राखेको थियो । ऊ साङ्ग्ला र नेलले बाँधिएर पहरामा राखिएको भए तापनि उसले ती छिनालिहाल्थ्यो र दुष्‍ट आत्माद्वारा मरुभूमितिर डोर्‍याइन्थ्यो ।
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and he would be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 त्यसपछि येशूले त्यसलाई सोध्‍नुभयो, “तेरो नाउँ के हो?” र त्यसले भन्यो, “फौज ।” किनभने धेरै दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू त्यसभित्र पसेका थिए ।
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” and he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31 तिनीहरूलाई अगाध खाँदमा नपठाउनुहोस् भनी तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई निरन्तर बिन्ती गरे । (Abyssos g12)
They kept begging him not to send them into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 अब त्‍यहाँ नजिकै डाँडामा सुँगुरको एक बथान चरिरहेको थियो र दुष्‍ट आत्माहरूले उहाँलाई सुँगुरको बथानमा पठाइदिन भनी बिन्ती गरे । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई त्यसो गर्ने आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
Now a large herd of pigs was there feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him to let them go into them, and he gave them permission.
33 त्यसैले, त्यस मानिसबाट दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू निस्की सुँगुरको बथानमा पसे, र त्यो बथान भिरालोबाट हुर्रिंदै गएर समुद्रमा डुबेर मरे ।
So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and was drowned.
34 सुँगुर चराइरहेका मानिसहरूले जे भइरहेको थियो त्यो देखेपछि तिनीहरू भाग्दै सहर र वरपरका ठाउँहरूमा गए र त्यो कुरो बताए ।
When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and told about it in the city and countryside.
35 त्यसकारण, मानिसहरू जसले यसबारे सुने, के भएको थियो सो हेर्नलाई तिनीहरू येशूकहाँ आए र त्यस मानिस जसबाट दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू निस्केर गएका थिए, त्यसलाई कपडा लगाएर राम्रो अवस्थामा येशूको चरणमा बसिरहेको भेट्टाए र तिनीहरू डराए ।
So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 तब जुन घटना घटेको ती मानिसहरूले देखेका थिए अर्थात् कसरी दुष्‍ट आत्माहरूद्वारा नियन्‍त्रित मानिस बचाइको थियो, सो तिनीहरूले अरूहरूलाई भने ।
Then those who had seen it told them how the man who had been possessed by demons had been healed.
37 गेरासेन र वरपरका सबै मानिसहरूले येशूलाई तिनीहरूबाट जान आग्रह गरे, किनभने तिनीहरू साह्रै डराएका थिए ।
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were overwhelmed with great fear. So he got into the boat so they could start back.
38 तर दुष्‍ट आत्माहरू निस्केर गएको मानिसले येशूसँगै जानलाई उहाँलाई बिन्ती गर्‍यो, तर येशूले यसो भन्दै उसलाई पठाउनुभयो,
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “आफ्नो घर फर्क र परमेश्‍वरले तिम्रो निम्ति गर्नुभएका महान् कार्यहरूको स्मरण गर ।”
“Return to your home and give a full account of what God has done for you.” The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
40 जब येशू फर्कनुभयो, भिडले उहाँलाई स्वागत गर्‍यो, किनकि तिनीहरू सबैले उहाँलाई पर्खिरहेका थिए ।
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
41 हेर, याइरस नाउँ गरेका एक जना मानिस त्यहाँ आए, जो सभाघरका अगुवाहरूमध्ये एक थिए । याइरस प्रभु येशूका पाउमा घोप्‍टो परे र उहाँलाई उनको घरमा आउन बिन्ती गरे ।
Behold, a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet, and he begged him to come to his house,
42 किनभने उनको एउटै मात्र बाह्र वर्षकी छोरी मर्नै लागेकी थिइन् । तर उहाँ जाँदै गर्नुहुँदा मानिसहरूको भिडले उहाँलाई घचेटिरहेको थियो ।
because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds of people pressed together around him.
43 त्यहाँ एउटी बाह्र वर्षसम्म रगत बग्‍ने समस्या भएकी स्‍त्री थिइन् । तिनले आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण पैसा डाक्टरहरूकहाँ औषधी उपचारमा खर्चे गरिसकेकी थिइन्, तर तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि निको पार्न सकेका थिएनन् ।
Now a woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money, and could not be healed by anyone.
44 तिनी येशूको पछिल्तिर आइन् र उहाँको कपडाको छेऊ छोइन् र तुरुन्तै तिनको रक्‍तश्राव रोकियो ।
She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “मलाई कसले छोयो?” जब सबैले यसलाई इन्कार गरे, पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु मानिसहरूको भिडले तपाईंलाई घेरेर घचेट्दै छन् ।”
Jesus said, “Who was it who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds of people are all around you and they are pressing in against you.”
46 तर येशूले भन्‍नुभयो, “कसैले मलाई छोयो, किनभने शक्‍ति मबाट बाहिर गइरहेको मैले थाहा पाएँ ।”
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 जब त्यस स्‍त्रीले आफूले गरेको कुरा लुकाउन नसक्‍ने देखिन्, तब काँप्दै येशूको चरणमा घोप्‍टो परिन्, तिनले येशूलाई छुनुको कारण र कसरी तुरुन्तै निको भइन् सबै मानिसहररूका सामु बताइन् ।
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people she declared why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
48 त्यसपछि उहाँले तिनलाई भन्‍नुभयो, “छोरी, तिम्रो विश्‍वासले तिमीलाई निको पारेको छ । शान्तिसँग जाऊ ।”
Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 जब उहाँ अझै बोल्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो, सभाघरका अगुवाको घरबाट एक जना आएर भने, “तिम्री छोरी मरिसकिन् । गुरुलाई दुःख नदेऊ ।”
While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
50 तर जब येशूले त्यो सुन्‍नुभयो, उहाँले उसलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “नडराऊ, विश्‍वास मात्र गर र तिनी बचाइनेछिन् ।”
But when Jesus heard this, he answered Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 जब उहाँ घरमा आउनुभयो, तब पत्रुस, यूहन्‍ना र याकूब, केटीको बुबा र आमाबाहेक अरू कसैलाई पनि भित्र पस्‍ने अनुमति दिनुभएन ।
When he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and her mother.
52 अनि त्यहाँ सबै मानिसहरू ती केटीका निम्ति रुँदै र विलाप गर्दै थिए । तर उहाँले भन्‍नुभयो, “नरोऊ, तिनी मरेकी छैनन्, तर निदाएकी मात्र छिन् ।”
Now all were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but asleep.”
53 तर तिनीहरू केटी मरेको थाहा पाएर, येशूलाई गिल्ला गर्दै हाँसे ।
But they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 तर उहाँले केटीलाई हातमा लिएर यसो भनेर बोलाउनुभयो, “नानी उठ ।”
But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”
55 तिनको आत्मा फर्क्यो, र तिनी तुरुन्तै उठिन् । उहाँले तिनलाई केही खान दिनका लागि आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He ordered them to get her something to eat.
56 तिनका बुबा-आमा अचम्मित भए, तर त्यहाँ जे भएको थियो त्यो कसैलाई नभन्‍नू भनी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिनुभयो ।
Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
