मत्ती 24
1 ययेशू मन्दिरबाट बाहिर जानुभयो र उहाँ आफ्नो बाटोमा जाँदै हुनुहुन्थ्यो । उहाँलाई मन्दिरका भवनहरू देखाउन उहाँका चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ आए ।
Leaving the Temple Courts, Jesus was walking away, when his disciples came up to draw his attention to the Temple buildings.
2 तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूले यी सबै कुरा देख्दैनौ? साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, एउटा ढुङ्गामाथि अर्को ढुङ्गा छोडिनेछैन, सबै भत्काइनेछन् ।”
‘Do you see all these things?’ was his answer. ‘I tell you, not a single stone will be left here on another, which will not be thrown down,’
3 जब उहाँ जैतून डाँडामा वस्नुभयो, चेलाहरू उहाँकहाँ सुटुक्कै आए र भने, “हामीलाई भन्नुहोस्, यी कुराहरू कहिले हुनेछन्? तपाईंको आगमन र संसारको अन्तको चिन्ह के हुनेछ?” (aiōn g165)
so, while Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came up to him privately and said, ‘Tell us when this will be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the close of the age.’ (aiōn g165)
4 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “होसियार रहो, कसैले तिमीहरूलाई नभड्काओस् ।”
Jesus replied to them, ‘See that no one leads you astray;
5 किनकि मेरो नाउँमा धेरै जना आउनेछन् । किनकि तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, ‘म नै ख्रीष्ट हुँ!’ र धेरैलाई भड्काउनेछन् ।
for, many will take my name, and come saying “I am the Christ,” and will lead many astray.
6 तिमीहरूले लडाइँ र लडाइँका हल्ला सुन्नेछौ । तर तिमीहरू, विचलित नहोओ, किनकि यी कुराहरू हुनैपर्छ; तर अझै अन्त आइसकेको हुँदैन ।
You will hear of wars and rumours of wars; take care not to be alarmed, for such things must occur; but the end is not yet here.
7 किनकि जातिको विरुद्धमा जाति खडा हुनेछ, र राज्यको विरुद्धमा राज्य खडा हुनेछ । विभिन्न ठाउँमा अनिकाल हुनेछ र भूकम्पहरू जानेछन् ।
For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8 तर यी सबै कुरा प्रसव-वेदनाको सुरुवात मात्र हो ।
All this, however, will be but the beginning of the birth pangs!
9 तब तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सङ्कष्टको लागि सुम्पनेछन् र तिमीहरूलाई मार्नेछन् । मेरो नामको खातिर सबै जातिद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई घृणा गरिनेछ ।
When that time comes, they will give you up to persecution, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
10 तब धेरै जनाले ठेस खानेछन्, र एक अर्कालाई धोका दिनेछन्, एक अर्कालाई घृणा गर्नेछन् ।
And then many will fall away, and will betray one another, and hate one another.
11 धेरै झुटा अगमवक्ता खडा हुनेछन् र धेरै जनालाई बहकाउनेछन् ।
Many false prophets, also, will appear and lead many astray;
12 किनभने अधर्मको वृद्धि हुनेछ; धेरै जनाको प्रेम सेलाउनेछ ।
and, owing to the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
13 तर जो अन्तसम्म स्थिर रहन्छ, उसले उद्धार पाउनेछ ।
Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
14 राज्यको यो सुसमाचार सारा संसारमा सबै जातिलाई साक्षीको रूपमा प्रचार गरिनेछ । तब अन्त आउनेछ ।
This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a witness to all nations; and then will come the end.
15 त्यसकारण, जब तिमीहरूले दानिएल अगमवक्ताले भनेका जस्तै त्यस विनाशकारी घृणित व्यक्तिलाई पवित्र स्थानमा उभिएको देख्छौ (पाठकले आफैँ बुझोस),
As soon, then, as you see “the Foul Desecration,” mentioned by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy place,’ (the reader must consider what this means)
16 जो यहूदियामा छन्, तिनीहरू पहाडहरूतिर भागून्,
‘then those of you who are in Judea must take refuge in the mountains;
17 जो घरको छानामाथि छ, ऊ घरबाट कुनै सामान लिन तल नझरोस् ।
and a man on the housetop must not go down to get the things that are in his house;
18 र जो खेतमा छ, ऊ आफ्नो खास्टो लिन नफर्कोस् ।
nor must one who is on their farm turn back to get his cloak.
19 तर ती दिनमा हाय तिनीहरूलाई जो गर्भवती छन् र जसले शिशुहरूलाई दूध चुसाउँछन्!
Alas for pregnant women, and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
20 हिउँदमा वा शबाथको दिनमा तिमीहरू भाग्न नपरोस् भनी प्रार्थना गर ।
Pray, too, that your flight may not take place in winter, nor on a Sabbath;
21 किनकि त्यस बेला महासङ्कष्ट हुनेछ, जुन संसारको सुरुदेखि अहिलेसम्म कहिल्यै भएको छैन, न त कहिल्यै फेरि हुनेछ ।
for that will be a time of great distress, the like of which has not occurred from the beginning of the world down to the present time – no, nor ever will again.
22 ती दिनहरू नघटाइएसम्म कुनै शरीर पनि बच्नेछैन । तर चुनिएकाहरूका निम्ति ती दिनहरू घटाइनेछन् ।
Had not those days been limited, not a single soul would escape; but for the sake of God’s people a limit will be put to them.
23 तब यदि कसैले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, ख्रीष्ट यहाँ छन्!’ वा, ‘ख्रीष्ट त्यहाँ छन्!’ भन्छ भने त्यसलाई विश्वास नगर ।
At that time, if anyone should say to you “Look! Here is the Christ!” or “Here he is!”, do not believe it;
24 किनकि झुटा ख्रीष्टहरू र झुटा अगमवक्ताहरू आउनेछन् र हुन सके, चुनिएकाहरूलाई समेत बहकाउनलाई ठुला-ठुला चिन्हहरू र चमत्कारहरू देखाउनेछन् ।
for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will display great signs and marvels, so that, were it possible, even God’s people would be led astray.
25 हेर, मैले यी अगाडि नै तिमीहरूलाई बताएको छु ।
Remember, I have told you beforehand.
26 त्यसकारण, यदि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई ‘हेर, उहाँ उजाड-स्थानमा हुनुहुन्छ’ भनेर भन्छन् भने, उजाड-स्थानतिर नजाओ । वा ‘हेर, उहाँ भित्री कोठाहरूमा हुनुहुन्छ’ भनेर भन्छन् भने, त्यसलाई विश्वास नगर ।
Therefore, if people say to you “He is in the wilderness!”, do not go out there; or “He is in an inner room!”, do not believe it;
27 किनकि जसरी बिजुली पूर्वबाट चम्कन्छ र पश्चिमसम्मै त्यसको उज्यालो पुग्दछ, मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
for, just as lightning will start from the east and flash across to the west, so will it be with the coming of the Son of Man.
28 जहाँ सिनो छ, त्यहाँ गिद्धहरू भेला हुनेछन् ।
Wherever a dead body lies, there will the vultures flock.
29 तर ती दिनमा सङ्कष्ट आए लगत्तै सूर्य अँध्यारो हुनेछ; चन्द्रमाले आफ्नो ज्योति दिनेछैन; ताराहरू आकाशबाट खस्नेछन्, र स्वर्गका शक्तिहरू डगमगाउनेछन् ।
Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give her light, the stars will fall from the heavens, and the forces of the heavens will be convulsed.
30 तब मानिसका पुत्रको चिन्ह आकाशमा देखा पर्नेछ, अनि पृथ्वीका सबै जातिले विलाप गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले मानिसका पुत्रलाई आकाशको बादलमा शक्ति र ठुलो महिमासाथ आउँदै गरेको देख्नेछन् ।
Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heavens; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn, when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the heavens, with power and great glory;
31 उहाँले आफ्ना स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई तुरहीको ठुलो आवाजका साथ पठाउनुहुनेछ, अनि तिनीहरूले उहाँका चुनिएकाहरूलाई आकाशको एउटा छेउदेखि अर्को छेउसम्म चारै दिशाबाट भेला गराउनेछन् ।
and he will send his angels, with a great trumpet, and they will gather his people round him from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 अन्जीरको बोटबाट पाठ सिक । जब त्यसका हाँगाहरू कलिला हुन्छन् र पातहरू पलाउँछन्, तब ग्रीष्म ऋतु आउँदै छ भनेर तिमीहरूले थाहा पाउँछौ ।
‘Learn the lesson taught by the fig tree. As soon as its branches are full of sap, and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
33 त्यसरी नै, जब तिमीहरूले पनि यी सबै कुरा देख्छौ, उहाँ नजिकै अर्थात् ढोकाकै छेउमा हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले जान्नुपर्छ ।
And so may you, as soon as you see all these things, know that he is at your doors.
34 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, यी सबै कुरा नभएसम्म यो पुस्ता बितेर जानेछैन ।
I tell you, even the present generation will not pass away, until all these things have taken place.
35 स्वर्ग र पृथ्वी बितेर जानेछ, तर मेरा वचन बितेर जानेछैनन् ।
The heavens and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36 तर त्यस दिन र घडीको विषयमा कसैलाई पनि थाहा छैन, न त स्वर्गका स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई, न पुत्रलाई, तर पितालाई मात्र थाहा छ ।
But about that day and hour, no one knows – not even the angels of heaven, not even the Son – but only the Father himself.
37 मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि नोआका दिनमा जस्तै हुनेछ ।
For, just as in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 किनकि ती दिनहरूमा जलप्रलय आउनुभन्दा अगि नोआ जहाजभित्र नपसुन्जेल तिनीहरू खाँदै र पिउँदै, विवाह गर्दै र विवाह गराउँदै थिए,
In those days before the flood they went on eating and drinking, marrying and being married, up to the very day on which Noah entered the ark,
39 अनि प्रलय आएर तिनीहरू सबैलाई नलगुन्जेलसम्म तिनीहरूलाई केही पनि थाहा थिएन । मानिसका पुत्रको आगमन पनि त्यस्तै हुनेछ ।
taking not notice until the flood came and swept them one and all away; and so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 तब खेतमा दुई जना हुनेछन्– एक जना लगिनेछ, र अर्को यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
At that time, of two men on a farm one will be taken and one left;
41 दुई जना स्त्री जाँतो पिँधिरहेका हुनेछन्– एउटी लगिनेछ र अर्की त्यहीँ छोडिनेछ ।
of two women grinding with a hand-mill one will be taken and one left.
42 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू जागा रहो, किनकि तिमीहरूका प्रभु कुन दिन आउनुहुनेछ भन्ने कुरा तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन ।
Therefore watch; for you cannot be sure on what day your Master is coming.
43 तर यो जान, कि रातको कुन समयमा चोर आउँदै छ भन्ने कुरा घरको धनीलाई थाहा भएको भए, ऊ जागा बस्ने थियो र चोरलाई उसको घर फोर्न दिने थिएन ।
But this you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time of night the thief was coming, they would have been on the watch, and would not have allowed their house to be broken into.
44 त्यसकारण, तिमीहरू पनि तयार हुनुपर्छ, किनकि मानिसका पुत्र तिमीहरूले आशा नगरेको बेलामा आउनुहुनेछ ।
Therefore, you must also prepare, since it is just when you are least expecting him that the Son of Man will come.
45 त्यसैले, विश्वासयोग्य र बुद्धिमान् नोकर को हो, जसलाई उसको मालिकले आफ्नो घरका मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूका खाना ठिक समयमा तिनीहरूलाई दिनलाई नियुक्त गरेको छ?
Who, then is that trustworthy, careful servant, who has been placed by their master over his household, to give them their food at the proper time?
46 त्यो नोकर धन्य हो, जसलाई उसको मालिक आउँदा त्यसै गरिरहेको भेट्टाउनेछ ।
Happy will that servant be whom their master, when he comes home, will find doing this.
47 साँच्चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्दछु, कि मालिकले उसित भएका सबै कुराको जिम्मा उसलाई दिनेछ ।
I tell you that their master will put them in charge of the whole of his property.
48 तर यदि दुष्ट नोकरले त्यसको मनमा, ‘मेरो मालिक ढिला हुनुभएको छ’ भनी भन्दछ,
But, should the servant be a bad servant, and say to themselves “My master is a long time in coming,”
49 अनि उसले आफ्ना सहकर्मी नोकरहरूलाई पिट्न थाल्छ, र मतवालाहरूसँग खान्छ र पिउँछ भने,
and begin to beat their fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards,
50 त्यस नोकरले आशा नगरेको दिनमा र त्यसलाई थाहा नभएको घडीमा त्यस नोकरको मालिक आउनेछ ।
that servant’s master will come on a day when they do not expect him, and at an hour of which they are unaware,
51 त्यसको मालिकले त्यसलाई दुई टुक्रा पारी काट्नेछ र त्यसको दशा ती पाखण्डीहरूको जस्तै हुनेछ, जहाँ रुवाबासी र दाह्रा किटाइ हुनेछ ।
and will flog the servant severely, and assign them their place among the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
The World is Destroyed by Water
