¹हप्ताको पहिलो दिन सखारै येशूको शरीर राखिएको चिहानमा आइमाईहरू आए। तिनीहरूले तयार पारेको सुगन्धित मसालाहरू ल्याए।

¹But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.

²चिहानको प्रवेशद्वार बन्द गर्नलाई एउटा ठूलो ढुङ्गा राखिएको थियो। तर तिनीहरूले त्यो ढुङ्गा चिहानदेखि कतै गुड्याइ पठाएको पाए।

²They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.

³तिनीहरू भित्र पसे तर प्रभु येशूको शरीर देखेनन्।

³They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.

⁴जब तिनीहरू यस विषयमा अलमल्ल परिरहेका थिए, दुइजना मानिसहरू अति नै उज्यालो पहिरनमा तिनीहरूको समिपमा उभिए।

⁴It happened, while they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.

⁵ती स्त्रीहरू अत्यन्त डरए, तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शीर निहुराए। ती दुइ मानिसहरूले ती स्त्रीहरूलाई भने, “जीउँदो मानिसहरूलाई तिमीहरू किन मरकोहरूको माझमा खोजिरहेकाछौ?

⁵Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?

⁶येशू यहाँ छैन्न। उहाँ मृत्युबाट बौरी उठ्नु भएकोछ। उहाँले गालीलमा तिमीहरूलाई भन्नु भएको कुरा थाहा छ?

⁶He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,

⁷उहाँले भन्नु भएकोछ मानिसको पुत्रलाई पापीको हातमा सुम्पिइनेछ, क्रूसमा टाँगिनेछ, अनि मरेको तेस्रो दिन बौरी उठ्नेछ।”

⁷saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”

⁸तब ती स्त्रीहरूले येशूले के भन्नु भएको थियो सम्झना गरे।

⁸They remembered his words,

⁹ती स्त्रीहरूले चिहान छोडे अनि एघारजना प्रेरितहरू र अरू चेलाहरू भएकहाँ गए अनि सबै यी घटनाहरू बारे तिनीहरूले भने।

⁹returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.

¹⁰ती स्त्रीहरू मरियम मग्दलिनी, यूहन्ना र याकूबकी आमा मरियम र अरू स्त्रीहरू थिए। तिनीहरूले ती प्रेरितहरूलाई भएका सबै घटनाहरू सुनाए।

¹⁰Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.

¹¹तर प्रेरितहरूले ती स्त्रीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई भनेका कुरालाई फोस्रा सम्झेर पत्याएनन्।

¹¹These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.

¹²तर पत्रुस जुरूक्कै उठ्‌यो अनि चिहान तिर दगुरयो। त्यो निहुरियो अनि हेरयो। सुतीको लुगा जुन येशूको शरीर लपेटिएको थियो त्यो वाहेक उसले केही देखेन। जे भएको थियो त्यस विषयमा अन्योलमा पर्दै त्यो घर गयो।

¹²But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.

¹³त्यसै दिन येशूका दुइजना चेलाहरू इम्माउस नाउँ गरेको शहर गइरहेका थिए। यो ठाउँ यरूशलेमदेखि प्राय : साढे तीन कोश टाढा पर्थ्यो।

¹³Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia 60 stadia = about 11 kilometers or about 7 miles. from Jerusalem.

¹⁴तिनीहरूले घटेका ती सब घटनाहरू बारे कुरा गरिरहेका थिए।

¹⁴They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.

¹⁵जब तिनीहरू यी कुराहरू गरिरहेका थिए, येशू आफै तिनीहरूको नजिक आउनुभयो अनि तिनीहरूसंगै हिंडनु भयो।

¹⁵It happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Jesus himself came near, and went with them.

¹⁶तर ती दुई जनालाई येशूले चिन्नु दिनु भएको थिएन।

¹⁶But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

¹⁷त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, ‘तिमीहरूले हिंड्दै गर्दा के विषयमा बात गरेको हो?” ती दुइजना रोकिए। तिनीहरूको अनुहार दुःखी देखियो।

¹⁷He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”

¹⁸तिनीहरू मध्ये एकजना क्लेओपास नाउँ भएकोले भने, “यरूशलेमको एकजना मानिस यरूशलेममा घटेको घटनाहरू बारे नजान्ने मानिस सायद तिमी मात्र हौ कि?”

¹⁸One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”

¹⁹येशूले तिनहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “कस्तो घटनाहरू?” तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई भने, “यो नासरतको एकजना मानिस येशूको विषयको कुरो हो।” उहाँले परमेश्वर अनि मानिसहरूको अघि कर्म अनि वचनले परमेश्वर अनि मानिसहरूको अघि कर्म अनि वचनले देखाउनु भयो कि उहाँ एकजना महान अगमवक्ता हुनु हुन्थ्यो।

¹⁹He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus, the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;

²⁰तर हाम्रो मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू अनि नेताहरूले उहाँलाई मृत्यु दण्ड दिनु औ क्रूसमा टगाउँन सुम्पिए।

²⁰and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

²¹हामीले आशा गरेका थियौ कि उहाँ नै एक जना हुनुहुन्थ्यो जसले इस्राएललाई मुक्त गराउँनु हुँदै थियो। तर यी सब घटनाहरू घटे। यी सब घटना घटेको आज तेस्रो दिन हो।

²¹But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

²²तब आज हाम्रा केही स्त्रीहरूले हामीलाई आश्चर्यचकित कुराहरू भने। बिहानै उठेर ती स्त्रीहरू येशूलाई राखिएको चिहानमा गएका थिए।

²²Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;

²³तर तिनीहरूले उहाँको शरीर त्यहाँ पाएनन्। तिनीहरू फर्के अनि तिनीहरूले दुइजना स्वर्गदुतहरूको दर्शन पाएको कुरा बताए। स्वर्गदूतहरूले भने कि येशू जीवित हुनुहुन्छ!

²³and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

²⁴त्यसछि हाम्रा केही मानिसहरू पनि चिहानमा गए। ती स्त्रीहरूले भने झैं चिहान खाली थियो। तिनीहरू कसैले येशूलाई देखेनन्।”

²⁴Some of us went to the tomb, and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”

²⁵तब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू मूर्ख हौ अनि अगमवक्ताहरूले भनेका प्रत्येक कुराहरू विश्वास गर्न ढिलो गरयौ।

²⁵He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁶ती अगमवक्ताहरूले भनी सकेका थिए कि ख्रीष्टलाई उहाँको महिमा भित्र पस्नु यी सब कुराहरू भोग्नु आवश्यक थियो।”

²⁶ Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

²⁷त्यसपछि येशूले धर्मशास्त्रमा मोशा देखि लिएर अन्य जम्मै अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा जे लेखिएको थियो प्रत्येक कुरो बताउनु शुरू गर्नु भयो। धर्मशास्त्रहरूमा उहाँ आफ्नो विषयमा जे लेखिएको थियो उहाँले बताउनु भयो।।

²⁷Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

²⁸जब तिनीहरू इम्माउस छेउ पुगे अनि येशूले वहाना गर्नु भयो कि उहाँ त्यहाँबाट अझै अधि जानुछ।

²⁸They drew near to the village, where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.

²⁹तर तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई यसो भन्दै अनेक बिन्ती गरे, “हामीसितै बस्नुहोस्, दिन धेरै बिती सक्यो प्रायः रात परि सक्यो!”तब उहाँ तिनीहरूसंग बस्नु राजी हुनु भयो।

²⁹They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.

³⁰येशू जब मेचमा उनीहरूसंग बस्नु भयो उहाँले केही रोटीहरू लिनु भयो अनि त्यसको निम्ति धन्यवाद दिनु भयो। तब तिनले त्यो टुक्रा पार्नु भयो अनि तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो।

³⁰It happened, that when he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave to them.

³¹त्यस बेला तिनीहरूको आँखा खोलियो अनि तिनीहरूले येशूलाई चिन्न सके तर उहाँ तिनीहरूबाट विलिन हुनु भयो।

³¹Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight.

³²ती दुइजना आपसमा बात मारे, “जब येशू बाटामा हामीसंग बात गर्नु हूँदै थियो, हामीभित्र आगो जलिरहेको अनुभव गरेका थियौं। यो साँच्चै रोमाँचित भइरहेको थियो जति वेला उहाँले हामीलाई धर्मशास्त्रको साँचो अर्थ खोलिरहनु भएको थियो।”

³²They said one to another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”

³³तब ती दुइजना जुरूक्क उठे अनि यरूशलेमतिर र्फकिए। तिनीहरूले एघार जना प्रेरितहरू र अरू एक साथ ठाउँमा भेला भएका भेटे। ती एघार चेलाहरू र तिनीहरूसंग भएका अरू मानिसहरूले भने,

³³They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,

³⁴“प्रभू येशू साँच्चै नै मृत्युबाट बौरी उठ्नु भएकोछ अनि उहाँ शिमोनको अघि देखा पर्नु भयो।”

³⁴saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”

³⁵त्यसपछि ती दुइजनाले बाटोमा जे भएको थियो सुनाए। तिनीहरूले भने, उहाँले रोटी टुक्रा पार्दा कसरी येशूलाई चिने।

³⁵They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.

³⁶जब ती दुइजना मानिसले यी कुराहरू गर्दै थिए, येशू आफै चेलाहरूको माझमा उभिनु भयो। उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूलाई शान्ति होस्।”

³⁶As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

³⁷तर चेलाहरू अचम्मित भए अनि डराए। तिनीहरूले प्रेत देखिरहेछन् भन्ने पनि सोचे।

³⁷But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

³⁸तर उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू विचलित हुन्छौ? तिमीहरूले देखेकै कुरामा किन शंका गर्छो?

³⁸He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

³⁹मेरा हात र खुट्टाहरू हेर। म सत्य हुँ। मलाई स्पर्श गर। हेर, मेरो मासु र हड्डी छ। एक भूतको शरीर र हड्डी हुँदैन।

³⁹ See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”

⁴⁰तब येशूले आफ्ना हात-खुट्टाहरू देखाउनु भयो।

⁴⁰When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

⁴¹तिनीहरू अत्यन्तै खुशी भएको कारणले अझ विश्वास गर्न सकेन्न्। तिनीहरू अचम्भित भए। येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “के तिमीहरूसित यहाँ खाने कुरा छ?”

⁴¹While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”

⁴²तिनीहरूले एकटुक्रा पकाएको माछा उहाँलाई दिए।

⁴²They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.

⁴³त्यो लिनु भयो अनि तिनीहरूको अघि खानु भयो।

⁴³He took them, and ate in front of them.

⁴⁴उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “जब म तिमीहरूसँग थिएँ मैले के भने त्यो सम्झना गर। मैले भने, मोशाको व्यवस्थामा अगमवक्ताहरूको पुस्तकमा मेरो विषयमा भनिएको अनि भजनसंग्रहमा भनिएका प्रत्येक कुरा पूरा हुनेछ।”

⁴⁴He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

⁴⁵त्यसपछि उहाँले धर्मशास्त्रहरूमा लेखिएका सबै कुराहरू बुझन मन खोली दिनु भयो।

⁴⁵Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.

⁴⁶उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यो लेखिएकै छ कि ख्रीष्टलाई मारिनेछ अनि तेस्रो दिनमा उहाँ बौरी उठनु हुनेछ।

⁴⁶He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

⁴⁷[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

⁴⁸[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁴⁸ You are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹सुन! मेरो पिताले तिमीहरूको निम्ति केही दिने प्रतिज्ञा गर्नु भएको छ, म यो तिमीहरूलाई पठाउनेछु। तर तिमीहरू स्वर्गबाट शक्ति नपउरूञ्जेल यहाँ यरूशलेममा नै र्पखिरहो।”

⁴⁹ Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”

⁵⁰येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई बेथानीसम्म लैजानुभयो। उहाँले आफ्नो हात उचाल्नु भयो अनि तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिनुभयो।

⁵⁰He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

⁵¹उहाँ तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिंदै गर्दा, उहाँ तिनीहरूबाट छुट्टीनुभयो अनि स्वर्गमा उचालिनु भयो।

⁵¹It happened, while he blessed them, that he withdrew from them, and was carried up into heaven.

⁵²चेलाहरूले उहाँको आराधना गरे। त्यसपछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेम र्फकिए। तिनीहरू अत्यन्तै खुशी थिए।

⁵²They worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁵³सारा समय परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्दै तिनीहरू मन्दिरमा बसे।

⁵³and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
