लुका 14
1 एउटा विश्राम दिनमा जब उहाँ फरिसीहरूका एक जना अगुवाको घरमा रोटी खान जानुभयो, तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई नजिकबाट हेरिराखेका थिए ।
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 हेर, त्यहाँ उहाँको अगाडि एउटा मानिस थियो जो छारे रोगबाट ग्रसित थियो ।
And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 येशूले यहूदी व्यवस्थाका पण्डितहरू र फरिसीहरूलाई सोध्नुभयो, “विश्राम दिनमा निको पार्नु उचित छ वा छैन?
And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 तर तिनीहरू मौन रहे । त्यसैले, येशूले त्यसलाई समातेर निको पार्नुभयो र उसलाई पठाइदिनुभयो ।
And they held their peace. And he took him, and 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?”
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 तिनीहरूले ती कुराहरूको जवाफ दिन सकेनन् ।
And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 जब येशूले ख्याल गर्नुभयो कि कसरी ती जो बोलाइएकाहरूले आदरको आसन छान्ने गर्दथे, तिनीहरूलाई उहाँले एउटा उखान भन्नुभयो ।
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,
8 “जब तिमीहरूलाई कसैले विवाह भोजमा बोलाउँछ, आदरको ठाउँमा नबस किनकि तिमीभन्दा अझै आदरको मानिसलाई बोलाएको हुन सक्दछ ।
When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of 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 ।
And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
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 ।
But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you.
11 हरेक जसले आफूलाई उचाल्दछ त्यसलाई होच्याइनेछ, र जसले आफूलाई होच्याउँछ त्यो उच्च पारिनेछ ।
For whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall 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 said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.
13 तर जब तिमीले भोज दिन्छौ, गरिब, लुला-लङ्गडा र दृष्टिविहीनहरूलाई बोलाऊ ।
But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, 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 shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 येशूसँगै टेबुलमा बस्दा तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना जसले यी कुराहरू सुन्यो, जब उसले उहाँलाई भन्यो, “त्यो धन्यको हो जसले परमेश्वरको राज्यमा रोटी खानेछ ।”
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 तर येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नुभयो, “एक जना मानिसले ठुलो भोजको आयोजना गर्यो र धेरैलाई निम्तो दियो ।
Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 जब भोज तयार भयो, तब उसले आफ्नो सेवकलाई निम्तो गरिएकाहरूलाई बोलाउन पठायो ‘आउनुहोस् सबै कुरा तयार भइसक्यो ।’
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are 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 ।’
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray you have me excused.
19 र अर्कोले भन्यो, ‘मैले पाँच हल गोरु किनेको छु र मैले तिनीहरूलाई जोत्नुपर्छ । कृपया मलाई माफ गर्नुहोस् ।’
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray you have me excused.
20 र अर्को मानिसले भन्यो, ‘मैले श्रीमती विवाह गरेको छु, त्यसकारण म आउन सक्दिनँ ।’
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore 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 servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 तब सेवकले भन्यो, ‘मालिक, तपाईंको आदेशअनुसार सबै कुरा भयो, तरै पनि त्यहाँ अझै ठाउँ बाँकी छ ।’
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.
23 मालिकले सेवकलाई भने, ‘राजमार्गहरू, गल्लीहरूमा गएर मानिसहरूलाई भित्र आउन अनुरोध गर, ताकि मेरो घर भरिएको होस् ।
And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 किनकि म तिमीलाई भन्दछु, पहिला बोलाएकाहरू कसैले पनि मेरो भोज चाख्न पाउने छैन ।’
For I say to you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 ठुलो भिड उहाँसँग गइराखेको थियो, र उहाँ तिनीहरूतिर फर्केर भन्नुभयो,
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and 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 any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 जसले आफ्नो क्रुस बोकेर मेरो पछि लाग्दैन, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
And whoever does not bear 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?
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 नत्रभने, उसले जग बसालिसकेपछि निर्माण सम्पन्न गर्न सकेन भने, यसलाई देख्ने सबैले उसको गिल्ला गर्नेछन् र
Lest haply, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock 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 make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 र यदि सक्दैन भने, अर्को सेना टाढा हुदाँ नै उसको राजदूत पठाएर शान्तिको शर्त राख्न सक्छ ।
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
33 त्यसैले, तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले आफूसँग भएको सबै कुरा त्याग्न सक्दैन भने, ऊ मेरो चेला हुन सक्दैन ।
So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
34 नुन असल हो, तर यदि नुनले यसको स्वाद गुमायो भने, यसलाई कसरी फेरि नुनिलो बनाउने?
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall 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 neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
