¹यहूदीहरूको अखमीरी रोटीको चाडको समय नजिकै आइरहेका थियो।

¹Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near.

²मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू र व्यवस्थाका शास्त्रीहरूले येशूलाई मार्ने उपाय खोज्दै थिए। तर मानिसहरूदेखि तिनीहरू डराँउथे।

²The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

³येशूको बाह्रजना प्रेरितहरूमध्ये एकजनाको नाम यहूदा थियो जसलाई इस्कारयोत भनिन्थ्यो। शैतान यहूदाको भित्र पस्यो अनि त्यसलाई नराम्रो कार्य गर्नु प्रेरित गर्यो।

³Satan entered into Judas, who was surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered with the twelve.

⁴मन्दिरलाई पहरा दिइरहेका सिपाहीहरू र मुख्य पूजाहारीहरूसंग येशूलाई सुम्पने विषयको उपाय बारे कुराकानी गरयो।

⁴He went away, and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.

⁵यस विषयमा मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू अत्यन्त खुशी भए। यदि यहूदाले येशूलाई सुम्पेको खण्डमा तिनीहरूले रूपियाँ दिने बाचा गरे।

⁵They were glad, and agreed to give him money.

⁶यहूदा सहमत भयो। त्यसपछि यहूदाले येशूलाई तिनीहरूकहाँ सुम्पने अवसर खोज्न थाल्यो। यो काम गर्दा भीड नरहोस भन्ने यहूदा चहान्थ्यो।

⁶He consented, and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.

⁷यो अखमीरी रोटी खाने दिन थियो। त्यो दिन यहूदीहरूले निस्तारको पाठाहरू बलिदान गरे।

⁷The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed.

⁸येशूले पत्रुस र यूहन्नालाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ अनि हाम्रो लागि निस्तार खाना तयार पार।”

⁸He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”

⁹पत्रुस र यूहन्नाले येशूलाई सोधे, “तपाईं हामीले कहाँ खाना तयार पारेको रूचाउनु हुन्छ?” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भने,

⁹They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare?”

¹⁰“सुन! जब तिमीहरू शहर जान्छौं, त्यहाँ तिमीहरूले एउटा मानिसलाई एक जार पानी ल्याँउदै गरेको भेट्नेछौ। त्यलाई पछ्याऊ। त्यो त्यहीं एउटा घरमा पस्नेछ। त्यसकै पछि तिमीहरू लाग।

¹⁰He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters.

¹¹त्यस घरका मालिकलाई भन, हाम्रा गुरुज्यूले उहाँ र उहाँका चेलाहरू निस्तार भोज कहाँ बसेर खाने सोध्न पठाउनु भएकोछ।’

¹¹ Tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’

¹²त्यसपछि मालिकले आफ्नो घरको माथिल्लो तलाको ठूलो कोठा देखाउनेछ। यो कोठानै तिमीहरूको निम्ति तयार परिनेछ। निस्तारको भोज त्यहीं तयार गर।”

¹² He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”

¹³त्यसपछि पत्रुस र यूहन्ना त्यहाँदेखि निस्किए। येशूले भन्नुभएको प्रत्येक कुराहरू नै तिनीहरूले भेटे। अनि तिनीहरूले निस्तारको भोज पनि तयार पारे।

¹³They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

¹⁴तिनीहरूको निस्तारको भोज गर्ने समय भएको थियो। येशू र प्रेरितहरू टेबलको वरिपरि बरिरहेका थिए

¹⁴When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles.

¹⁵येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो मृत्यु अघि तिमीहरूसँग बसेर निस्तारको भोजन गर्ने बढो इच्छा थियो।

¹⁵He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer,

¹⁶किनभने जबसम्म परमेश्वरको राज्यमा यसको सही अर्थ पाईदैन म निस्तार भोजन गर्ने छैन।”

¹⁶ for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.”

¹⁷त्यसपछि उहाँले एक कचौरा दाखरस लिनु भयो। उहाँले परमेश्वरलाई यसको निम्ति धन्यावाद दिनुभयो। त्यसपछि उहँले भन्नुभयो, “यो कप लैजाऊ अनि यसैबाट सबैलाई बाँढ।

¹⁷He received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, “Take this, and share it among yourselves,

¹⁸म तिमीहरूलाई भन्छु, “म चाँहि परमेश्वरको राज्य नआए सम्म पिंउदिन।”

¹⁸ for I tell you, I will not drink at all again from the fruit of the vine, until the Kingdom of God comes.”

¹⁹त्यसपछि येशूले केही रोटी लिनु भयो। उहाँले रोटीको लागि परमेश्वर धन्यवाद दिनुभयो अनि टुक्रा पार्नु भयो। उहाँले ति प्रेरितहरूलाई दिनु भयो अनि उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “यो मेरो शरीर हो जुन म तिमीहरूलाई दिंदैछु। मेरो सम्झनाको निम्ति यसो गर।”

¹⁹He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”

²⁰त्यसरी नै, खाना खाई सके पछि, येशूले कचौरा उठाउनु भयो अनि भन्नुभयो, “यस कचौराको तात्पर्य परमेश्वर र उहाँको मानिसहरू माझको एउटा नयाँ करार हो। यो नयाँ करार मेरो रगतबाट शुरू हुन्छ जुन मैले तिमीहरूको लागि बगाएँ।”

²⁰Likewise, he took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

²¹येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले मध्ये कोही एकजनाले मलाई धोका दिनेछौ। उसको हात टेबलमा मसँगै छ।

²¹ But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.

²²परमेश्वरले जे योजना गर्नु भएकोछ त्यो मानिसको पुत्रले पुरा गर्नेछ। तर धिक्कार छ उसलाई जसले हत्याको निम्ति मानिसको पुत्रलाई सुपिन्छ।”

²² The Son of Man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!”

²³त्यसपछि प्रेरितहरू आपसमा कुरा गर्न लागे, “हामी मध्ये कसले चाँहि येशूलाई त्यसो गर्छौ होला?”

²³They began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

²⁴तब तिनीहरू मध्ये को चाँहीं सबै भन्दा महान होला भनी प्रेरितहरूले बहस गरे।

²⁴There arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.

²⁵तर येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “संसारका राजाहरूलाई तिनीहरूका मानिसहरूमाथि शासन गर्छन्। जो मानिसहरू अधिकारमा छन् तिनीहरू आफैलाई जातिहरूको महा-सहायकहरू भनिनेछन्।

²⁵He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

²⁶तर तिमीहरू चाँहि त्यस्तो नहुनु। तिमीहरूको माझमा जो महान छ ऊ सानो हुनु पर्छ, अनि ऊ जो नेता हो, नोकर जस्तो हुनुपर्छ।

²⁶ But not so with you. But one who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing, as one who serves.

²⁷को चाँहि प्रमुख हुनः ऊ जो टेबलमा बसिरहेको छ अथवा उहाँलाई सेवा पुर्याइरहेकोछ? टेबलमा बस्ने मानिस चाँहि ठुलो हो, होइन र? तर तिमीहरूको माझमा म नोकर जस्तै हुँ?

²⁷ For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves? Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am in the midst of you as one who serves.

²⁸“तिमीहरू तिनीहरू हौ जो मेरो संर्घषहरूमा छेउमा बसेका थियौं।

²⁸ But you are those who have continued with me in my trials.

²⁹मेरो पिताले मलाई एउटा राज्य दिनुभएकोछ। म पनि मसित भएको शासन शक्ति तिमीहरूलाई दिनेछु।

²⁹ I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred on me,

³⁰मेरो राज्यमा मेरो टेबलमा बसेर तिमीहरूले खाने र पिउनेछौ। तिमीहरू सिंहासनमा बस्नेछौ अनि इस्राएलको बाह्रैवटा जातिको न्याय गर्नेछौ।

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

³¹“शैतानले जाँच गर्न सोध्यो, कृषकहरूले तिनीहरूको गहुँ जाँच गरे जस्तै तिनीहरूको जाँच लिनेछ। ए शिमोन, शिमोन,

³¹The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat,

³²मैले प्रार्थना गरेको छु कि तिमीहरूले विश्वास गुमाउने छैनौ। म कहाँ फर्के पछि तिमीहरूको दाज्यू-भाइहरूलाई अझ सामर्थ बनाउन मद्दत गर।”

³² but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” .”

³³तर पुत्रसले येशूलाई भने, “हे प्रभु, म तपाईंसंग तयार छु।”

³³He said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death!”

³⁴तर येशूले भन्नुभयो, “ए पत्रुस, आज भाले बास्न अघि नैं, मलाई तिमीले चिन्छु भन्न तीनपल्ट इन्कार गर्नेछौ।”

³⁴He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow today until you deny that you know me three times.”

³⁵तब येशूले प्रेरितहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “जब मैले तिमीहरूले मानिसहरूमा प्रचार गर्न, विना पैसा, झोला अनि जुत्ताहरू विना पठाएँ, के तिमीहरूलाई केही अभाव भयो?” प्रेरितहरूले भने, “भएन।”

³⁵He said to them, “When I sent you out without purse, and wallet, and shoes, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

³⁶येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तर अब तिमीहरूसंग पैसा, थैली जे छ त्यो लैजाऊ। यदी तिमीहरूसंग तरवार छैन भने, आफ्नो कोट बेच र एउटा किनिराख।

³⁶Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

³⁷यो धर्मशास्त्रले भन्छ। मानिसहरूले भने उनी अपराधी हुन्। यशैया 5312 धर्मशास्त्रमा लेखिएका कुरा साँचो हुनै पर्छ। यो मेरै विषयमा लेखिएको थियो, अनि अहिले साँचो भइरहेछ।”

³⁷ For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ Isaiah 53:12 For that which concerns me has an end.”

³⁸प्रत्येक बिहान मानिसहरू मन्दिरमा जान्थे अनि येशूको शिक्षा सुन्थे। : 1-5, 14-15; मर्कूस 14:1-2, 10-11; यूहन्ना 11:45-53)

³⁸They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” He said to them, “That is enough.”

³⁹येशूले शहर (यरूशलेम) छोडनु भयो अनि सधैं झैं जैतून पहाडतिर जानुभयो। उहाँका चेलाहरू पनि उहांसंगै गए।

³⁹He came out, and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰जब उहाँ त्यो ठाउँमा पुग्नु भयो, उहाँले चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “प्रार्थना गर कि प्रलोभनको सामना गर्न नपरोस्।”

⁴⁰When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

⁴¹तब येशू तिनीहरूदेखि पचास कदम टाढा जानुभयो। उहाँले घुँडा टेक्नुभयो अनि प्रार्थना गर्नुभयो,

⁴¹He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,

⁴²“हे पिता, यदि यो तपाईंको इच्छा हो भने, यो कष्टको कचौरा मदेखि हटाइदिनुहोस्। तर यो तपाईंको इच्छा बमोजिम गरियोस् मेरो इच्छा बमोजिम होइन।”

⁴²saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³त्यसपछि स्वर्गबाट एउटा दूत देखा परयो अनि येशूलाई दृढ बनायो।

⁴³An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

⁴⁴येशू अति संकष्टमा पर्नुभयो; उहाँले झन् परिश्रमसंग प्रार्थना गर्नुभयो रगत बगे जस्तै उहाँका अनुहारबाट पसीना चुह्यो।

⁴⁴Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵जब उहाँले प्रार्थना शेष गर्नुभयो, उहाँ आफ्ना चेलाहरूकहाँ जानु भयो। तिनीहरू मस्त निन्द्रामा थिए किनभने तिनीहरू सुर्ताले क्लान्त थिए।

⁴⁵When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

⁴⁶येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू किन सुतिरहेकाछौ? झट्ट उठ र प्रार्थना गर ताकि तिमीहरूले प्रलोभनको सामना गर्न नपरोस्।” येशू पक्राउ पर्नुभयो (मत्ती 26:47-56; मर्कूस 14:43-50; यूहन्ना 18:3-11)

⁴⁶and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

⁴⁷जतिबेला येशू बोलिरहनु भएको थियो, एक दल मानिसहरू त्यहाँ आइपुगे। बाह्रजना प्रेरितहरूमध्ये एकजना जसलाई यहूदा भनिन्थ्यो त्यो दललाई अगुवाई गरिरहेको थियो। यहूदा येशूको नजिकै उहाँलाइ म्वाई खान आयो।

⁴⁷While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

⁴⁸तर येशूले उसलाई भन्नुभयो, “हे यहूदा, म्वाँई खाएर तिमी मानिसको पुत्रलाई सुम्पिदैछौ?

⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

⁴⁹येशूका चेलाहरू पनि त्यहीं उभिरहेका थिए। तिनीहरूले के भइरहेको थियो बुझे। चेलाहरूले येशूलाई सोधे, “हे प्रभु, के हामीले हाम्रा तरवारहरू चलाउँ?”

⁴⁹When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

⁵⁰अनि तिनीहरूमध्ये एकजना चेलाले त्यसको तरवार चलायो अनि त्यसले प्रधान पूजाहारीको नोकरको दाहिने कान काटिदियो।

⁵⁰A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹येशूले भन्नुभयो, “थाम” तब उहाँले नोकरको कान छुनु भयो अनि त्यसलाई निको पारिदिनु भयो।

⁵¹But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this” —and he touched his ear, and healed him.

⁵²येशूलाई पक्रन आउनेहरूमा मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू, यहूदी बूढा प्रधानहरू र मन्दिरको सिपाहीहरू थिए। येशूले तिनहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तपाईंहरू किन तरवार र लाठ्ठीहरू लिएर आएको? के मलाई कुनै अपराधी जस्तो लाग्छ?

⁵²Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

⁵³म तपाईंहरूसंगै प्रत्येक दिन मन्दिरमा हुने गर्थें। तपाईंहरूले मलाई त्यहाँ पक्रनु भएन? तर यो अन्धकारले शासन चलाउने समय हो।”

⁵³ When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

⁵⁴तिनीहरूले येशूलाई पक्रे अनि टाढामा लगे। तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई प्रधान-पूजारीको घरमा पुरयाए। पत्रुस पनि तिनीहरूसंगै गए तर तिनी येशूको नजिक गएनन्।

⁵⁴They seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.

⁵⁵सिपाहीहरूले घरको आँगनको माझमा आगो फुके अनि वरिपरि बसे। पत्रुस पनि तिनीहरूसंगै बसे।

⁵⁵When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and had sat down together, Peter sat among them.

⁵⁶एउटी नोकर्नीले पत्रुसलाई त्यहाँ बसिरहेकी देखी। आगोको उज्यालोले गर्दा उसले उसलाई देख्न सकी। त्यसले भनी, “यो मानिस पनि ऊसंगै थियो।”

⁵⁶A certain servant girl saw him as he sat in the light, and looking intently at him, said, “This man also was with him.”

⁵⁷तर पुत्रसले हो भन्न मानेन। त्यसले भन्यो, “हे नारि, म उहाँलाई जान्दिनँ।”

⁵⁷He denied Jesus, saying, “Woman, I don’t know him.”

⁵⁸केही समय पछि, अर्को मानिसले पनि पत्रुसलाई देख्यो अनि भन्यो, “तिमी पनि तिनीहरू मध्ये एक हौ।” तर पत्रुस ले भने, “मानिस म हैनऊ”

⁵⁸After a little while someone else saw him, and said, “You also are one of them!” But Peter answered, “Man, I am not!”

⁵⁹प्रायः एक घण्टापछि, अर्को मानिसले भन्यो, “निश्चय यो मानिस उहाँसंगै थियो। किनभने यो पनि गालीलबाट आएको हो।”

⁵⁹After about one hour passed, another confidently affirmed, saying, “Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean!”

⁶⁰तर पुत्रसले भन्यो, “हे मानिस तिमीले के विषयमा कुरा गर्न लागिरहेछौ म जान्दिन?” जब पत्रुस बोलिरहेको थियो तुरन्तै भाले बास्यो।

⁶⁰But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

⁶¹त्यसपछि प्रभु येशू र्फकनु भयो अनि पत्रुसलाईर् हेर्नुभयो। अनि पत्रुसले प्रभुले अघि भनेका कुराहरू सम्झ्योः “आज भाले बास्न अघि तिमीले मलाई तिनपल्ट अस्वीकार गर्नेछौ।”

⁶¹The Lord turned, and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord’s word, how he said to him, “Before the rooster crows you will deny me three times.”

⁶²त्यसपछि पत्रुस बाहिर गयो अनि ग्वाँ ग्वाँ रोयो।

⁶²He went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶³[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁶³The men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him.

⁶⁴[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁶⁴Having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and asked him, “Prophesy! Who is the one who struck you?”

⁶⁵अनि धेरै तरिकाले तिनीहरूले उहाँको निन्दा गरे।

⁶⁵They spoke many other things against him, insulting him.

⁶⁶अर्को विहान, मानिसहरूका बूढा प्रधानहरू, मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू अनि व्यवस्थाको शास्त्रीहरू एक साथ आए। तिनीहरूले येशूलाई आफ्नो महासभामा लगे ।

⁶⁶As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

⁶⁷तिनीहरूले भने, “यदि तपाईं नै ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ भने, हामीलाई सत्य बताउनु होस्!” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यदि मैले म नै ख्रीष्ट हुँ भने, तपाईंहरूले मलाई विश्वास गर्नुहुने छैन।

⁶⁷“If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you won’t believe,

⁶⁸अनि यदि मैले तपाईंहरूलाई सोधें भने त्यसको जवाफ पनि दिनुहुन्न।

⁶⁸ and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go.

⁶⁹तर अब उसो, मानिसको पुत्र परमेश्वरको सिंहासनको दाहिनेपट्टी बस्नेछ।”

⁶⁹ From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

⁷⁰तिनीहरू सबैले भने, “त्यसो भए के तपाईं परमेश्वरको पुत्र हुनुन्छ?” येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हो, तपाईंहरूले जे भन्नुहुन्छ, त्यो सही हो।”

⁷⁰They all said, “Are you then the Son of God?” He said to them, “You say it, because I am.”

⁷¹तिनीहरूले भने, हामीलाई अरू साक्षी किन खाँचो परयो? हामी आफैले उसले यसो भनेका सुनेका हौ!”

⁷¹They said, “Why do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth!”
