¹येशूले बाहजना प्रेरितहरूलाई एक साथमा बोलाउनु भयो। उहाँले बिमारीहरूलाई निको पार्ने र भूतहरूलाई भगाउने शक्ति र अधिकार तिनीहरूलाई दिनुभयो।

¹He called the twelve TR reads “his twelve disciples” instead of “the twelve” together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

²येशूले तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्वरको राज्यको बारेमा घोषणा गर्नु बिमारीहरू र रोग निको पार्न बाहिर पठाउनु भयो।

²He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³उहाँले प्रेरितहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “जब कतै हिंडदछौ, साथमा लौरो, खानेकुरा, झोला र पैसा रूपियाँ केही नलैजाऊ।

³He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece.

⁴कुनै घरमा गयौ भने फर्किने समय नभएसम्म त्यहीं बस।

⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.

⁵यदी शहरका मानिसहरूले तिमीहरूलाई स्वागत गरेनन् भने त्यो शहरदेखि बाहिर जाऊ, अनि खुट्टाको धुलो समेत टक्टकाएर जाऊ। यो तिनीहरूको विरोधमा साक्षी हुनेछ।”

⁵ As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”

⁶त्यसकारण प्रेरितहरू बाहिर गए। तिनीहरू सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्दै र प्रत्येक बिमारी मानिसलाई निको पार्दै सबै शहरहरूमा यात्रा गरे।

⁶They departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.

⁷शासक हेरोदले यी सब घटनाहरू थाहा पाए । तिनी अन्योलमा परे किनभने कतिजना मानिसले भने, “बप्तिस्मा दिने यूहन्ना मृत्युबाट बौरी उठेका छन्।”

⁷Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

⁸अरू मानिसहरूले भने, “एलिया हामीकहाँ आउनु भएको छ।” अनि अरू कोही मानिसहरूले भने, “धेरै समय अघिका अगमवक्ताहरुमा एकजना बौरी उठेका छन्।”

⁸and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again.

⁹[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁹Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this, about whom I hear such things?” He sought to see him.

¹⁰जब प्रेरितहरू र्फकि आए, तिनीहरूले गरेका सम्पूर्ण विवरण सुनाए। त्यसपछि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई बेत्सैदा भन्ने एउटा शहरमा सुटुक्कै लिएर जानभयो।

¹⁰The apostles, when they had returned, told him what things they had done. He took them, and withdrew apart to a deserted place of a city called Bethsaida.

¹¹तर तिनी कहाँ गए मानिसहरूले थाह पाए। तिनीहरू उहाँको पछि लागे। तिनिहरूलाई येशूले स्वागत गर्नुभयो अनि परमेश्वरको राज्यको बारेमा तिनीहरूलाई बताउनु भयो। उहाँले बिमारीहरूलाई निको पार्नुभयो।

¹¹But the multitudes, perceiving it, followed him. He welcomed them, and spoke to them of the Kingdom of God, and he cured those who needed healing.

¹²साँझमा बाह्रैजना प्रेरितहरू येशूकहाँ आए अनि भने, “यो ठाउँमा कुनै मानिस बस्दैन, यिनीहरूलाई फर्काइदेऊ, यी मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूको खाना र सुत्ने व्यवस्थाको लागि वरिपारिकै बस्ती र शहरूमा जाऊन्।”

¹²The day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, “Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and lodge, and get food, for we are here in a deserted place.”

¹³तर येशूले ती प्रेरितहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूको निम्ति खानाको व्यवस्था गर।” प्रेरितहरूले भने, “हामीसँग पाँचवटा रोटी र दुई टुक्रा माछा मात्र छन्। के तपाईं चाहनु हुन्छ हामी गएर तिनीहरूको लागि खानेकुरा किनेर ल्याऊँ?”

¹³But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”

¹⁴त्यहाँ तिनीहरू प्रायः पाँच हजार जति पुरुषहरू छन्। उहाँले आफ्ना प्रेरितहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिनीहरूलाई एक दलमा पचास जना गरेर बस्न लगाऊ।”

¹⁴For they were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

¹⁵त्यसपछि चेलाहरूले त्यसै गरे अनि सबै मानिसहरू भुईमा बसे।

¹⁵They did so, and made them all sit down.

¹⁶येशूले पाँचवटा रोटी र दुइवटा माछा लिए। उहाँले आकाशतर्फ हेर्नुभयो अनि खानेकुराको निम्ति परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाउनु भयो। त्यसपछि उहाँले ती खानेकूरा टुक्रा टुक्रा पार्नुभयो अनि प्रेरितहरूलाई दिनुभयो। उहाँले खानेकुरा मानिसहरूलाई बाँडन प्रेरितहरूलाई आह्राउनु भयो।

¹⁶He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁷सबैले अघाउन्जेल खाना खाए अनि प्रेरितहरूले उब्रेको खाना बटुले जो बाह्र डालो भरीभयो।

¹⁷They ate, and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁸एकपल्ट येशू एक्लै प्रार्थनामा बस्नु भएको थियो। जम्मै चेलाहरू एकैसाथ त्यहाँ आए। येशूले तिनहरूलाई सोध्नु भयो, “मानिसहरूको विचारमा म को हुँ?”

¹⁸It happened, as he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

¹⁹चेलाहरूले भने, “कसैले तपाईंलाई बप्तिस्मा दिने यूहन्ना हुन् भन्छन्। कति मानिसहरूले तपाईंलाई एलिया भन्छन्। अनि कति मानिसहरूले पहिलेका अगमवक्ताहरू मध्ये जीवनमा फर्की आएका हुन् भन्छन्।”

¹⁹They answered, “‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.”

²⁰त्यसपछि येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई सोध्नु भयो, “अनि तिमीहरूको विचारमा चाँहीं म को हूँ?” पत्रुसले भने, “परमेश्वरदेखि आउनु भएको तपाईं ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ।”

²⁰He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

²¹येशूले यो कूरा कसैलाई नभन्न भनेर तिनीहरूलाई चेताउनी दिनुभयो।

²¹But he warned them, and commanded them to tell this to no one,

²²त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “मानिसका पुत्रले धेरै कष्ट सहनु पर्छ। यहूदी प्रधानहरू, मुख्य पूजाहारीहरू र शास्त्रीहरूले तिनलाई अस्वीकार गर्छन्। मानिसको पुत्रलाई मारिनेछ। तर मरेको तेस्रो दिन उहाँलाई फेरि बौरी उठाइनेछ।”

²²saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

²³येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “यदि कसैले मलाई पछ्याउन चाहन्छ भने उसले आफ्नो सबै इच्छाहरू अस्वीकार गर्नु पर्छ। उसले प्रत्येक दिन क्रूसको कष्ट भोग्नु पर्छ अनि मलाई पछ्‌याउनु पर्छ।

²³He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, TR, NU add “daily” and follow me.

²⁴जसले आफ्नो प्राण बचाउँन चाहन्छ भने त्यसले त्यो हराउनु पर्छ तर जसले मेरो निम्ति प्राण दिन्छ भने त्यसले त्यो चाँहि बाँच्न पाउँछ।

²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it.

²⁵किनभने के लाभ हुन्छ यदि कसैले सारा संसार जितेर पनि आफैलाई नोकसानमा पार्छ अथवा हराउँछ?

²⁵ For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?

²⁶यदि कुनै मानिस म र मेरो वचनसंग लजाउँछ भने जति बेला मेरा पिताको र मेरो महिमा लिएर पवित्र स्वर्गदूतहरूसंग आँउछु त्यति बेला त्योसित म पनि लजाँउछु।

²⁶ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁷म तिमीहरूलाई साँचो भन्दछु तिमीहरूको मृत्यु अघि तिमीहरू मध्ये केही मानिसहरूले यहीं उभिएर परमेश्वरको राज्य देख्नपाउने छन्।”

²⁷ But I tell you the truth: There are some of those who stand here, who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Kingdom of God.”

²⁸प्रायः आठ दिनपछि येशूले यी कुराहरू भन्नु भयो, उहाँले पत्रुस, यूहन्ना र याकूबलाई लिनुभयो अनि, पर्वतमा गएर प्रार्थना गर्नुभयो।

²⁸It happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter, John, and James, and went up onto the mountain to pray.

²⁹जब येशूले प्रार्थना गरि रहनु भएको थियो, उहाँको अनुहार बद्लियो अनि उहाँले लगाउनु भएको वस्त्र सेतो भएर चम्कने भयो।

²⁹As he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.

³⁰दुइजना मानिस त्यहाँ प्रकट भए औ येशूसँग बात गर्न लागे। तिनीहरू मोशा र एलिया थिए।

³⁰Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

³¹मोशा र एलिया पनि चम्के अनि तिनीहरू येशूसँग उहाँको मृत्युको विषयमा बात गर्दै थिए जो यरूशलेममा हुनेवाला थियो।

³¹who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, literally, “exodus” which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

³²पत्रुस र अरूहरू मस्त निदाएका थिए। तिनीहरू बिउँझिए अनि येशूको महिमा देखे। तिनीहरूले येशूको साथमा दुइजना उभिएका मानिसलाई देखो।

³²Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.

³³जब मोशा र एलिया जान लागेका थिए, पत्रुसले भने, “हे गुरूज्यू, हामीलाई यहीं बस्नु असल छ। हामी यहाँ तीनवटा डेरा बनाउँछौं एउटा तपाईंलाई, एउटा मोशालाई अनि एउटा एलियाको लागि” पत्रुसले जान्दैन थिए कि उसले के भनिरहेको छ।

³³It happened, as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴पत्रुसले जब यी कुराहरू भन्दै थिए, त्यसैबेला तिनीहरूलाई वरिपरिबाट बादलले ढाक्यो। पत्रुस, याकूब र यूहन्ना बादले ढाकेको देखी डराए।

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵बादलबाट एउटा आवाज यसो भन्दै आयो। “यी मेरो पुत्र हुन् मैले उनलाई छानेको छु। उनको आज्ञा पालन गर।”

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶जब त्यो आवाज आयो, येशू मात्र त्यहाँ हुनु हुन्थ्यो। पत्रुस, याकूब र यूहन्ना चूपचाप बसे। तिनीहरूले के देखे कसैलाई भनेनन्।

³⁶When the voice came, Jesus was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷भोलिपल्ट येशू, पत्रुस, याकूब र यूहन्ना पाहाडबाट तल झरे। मानिसको ठूलो भीड उहाँलाई भेट्न आयो।

³⁷It happened on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him.

³⁸भीडबाट एकजनाले चिच्याएर येशूलाई भने, “हेगुरुज्यू, दया गरी आउनुहोस् अनि मेरो पुत्रलाई हेरिदिनु होस्। त्यो मेरो एउटै पुत्र हो।

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹शैतानको दुष्ट आत्मा मेरो पुत्रमा आउँछ अनि त्यो त्यति नै बेला चिच्याउँछ औ त्यसले आफुमाथि होश हराउँछ अनि मुखबाट फींज निकाल्छ। त्यो दुष्ट आत्माले संधै कष्ट दिन्छ अनि त्यसबाट फर्केर कहिल्यै जाँदैन।

³⁹Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

⁴⁰मैले तपाईंको चेलाहरूलाई पनि त्यसबाट दुष्ट आत्मा निकाली दिनु भनें तर तिनीहरूले त्यसो गर्न सेकेनन्।”

⁴⁰I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

⁴¹येशूले उत्तर दिनुभयो, “अविश्वासी र भडकिएका वंशकाहरू हो! कहिलेसम्म म तिमीहरूसंग बस्नु अनि सहेर रहनु?” तब उहाँले त्यो मानिसलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिम्रो पुत्रलाई यहाँ ल्याऊ।”

⁴¹Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴²जब ठिटो आउँदै थियो, त्यो भूतले त्यसलाई त्यहीं भूँइमा पछारी दियो अनि त्यो केटो काम्दै थियो अनि आफ्नो नियन्त्रण बाहिर रह्यो। तर येशूले त्यस दुष्टात्मालाई कडा चेतावनी दिनु भयो। त्यसपछि त्यो केटोलाई पारी बाबुलाई सुम्पि दिनु भयो।

⁴²While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³परमेश्वरको महान शक्ति देखेर सबै मानिसहरू आश्चर्य चकित भए। येशूले गरेका चीजहरूदेखि मानिसहरू अझ सम्म आश्चर्य चकित थिए। उहाँले आफ्नो चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो,

⁴³They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴“अब म तिमीहरूलाई जे भन्दैछु कहिल्यै नबिर्सनु मानिसका पुत्रलाई केही मानिसहरूको नियन्त्रणमा सुम्पिइनेछ।”

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵तर चेलाहरू येशूले भन्नुभएको यी कुराहरूको अर्थ केही बुझेनन्। यसको अर्थ तिनीहरूले चेलाहरू त्यस विषयमा उहाँलाई सोध्न डराए।

⁴⁵But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶येशूका चेलाहरू आपसमा तिनीहरू मध्ये को चाँहि सबभन्दा महान् होला भनेर बहस गर्न थाले।

⁴⁶There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷येशूले तिनका चेलाहरूले गरेको बहसको विषय बुझि हाल्नु भयो। यसकारण उहाँले एउटा बालकलाई लिनु भयो अनि आफ्नो छेउमा उभ्याउनु भयो।

⁴⁷Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸अनि आफ्नो चेलाहरूलाई भन्नु भयो, “यदि कसैले मेरो नाम लिएर यस बालकलाई ग्रहण गर्छ भने, त्यसले मलाई पनि ग्रहण गर्छ। अनि कसैले मलाई ग्रहण गर्छ भने उसले ती मलाई पठाउनेलाई ग्रहण गर्छ जुन मानिस तिमीहरू माझ नगन्य छ, उही सब भन्दा महान हो।”

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹यूहन्नाले जवाफ दिए, “हे गुरुज्यू, मानिसहरूदेखि भूतहरू भगाउनलाई एकजना मानिसले तपाईंको नाउँ लिंदैथ्यो। त्यो मानिस हाम्रो दलमा नभएकोले हामीले उसलाई त्यसो गर्नवाधा दियौं।”

⁴⁹John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰येशूले यूहन्नालाई भन्नु भयो, ‘‘त्यसलाई नरोक। यदि कुनै मानिस तिम्रो बिरुद्ध छैन भने त्यो तिमी पट्टिनै हुन्छ। ‘‘

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹येशूको स्वर्गारोहणको समय नजीक आउँदै थियो। उहाँले यरूशलेम जाने निश्चय गर्नुभयो।

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²येशूले कोही मानिसहरूलाई आफू भन्दा अघि पठाउनु भयो। ती मानिसहरू येशूको निम्ति प्रत्येक कुरो तयार राख्नलाई सामरियाको एउटा शहरमा गए।

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³तर त्यहाँका मानिसहरूले उहाँलाई ग्रहण गर्न मानेनन् किनभने उहाँ यरूशलेम तर्फ जानु हुँदै थियो।

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set towards Jerusalem.

⁵⁴याकूब, यूहन्नाले र येशूका चेलाहरूले यी सबै देखे। तिनीहरूले भने, “हे प्रभु, के हामीले स्वर्गबाट आगो बोलाए मानिसहरूलाई भस्म पार्नु भन्ने तपाईं चाहनुहुन्छ?”

⁵⁴When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

⁵⁵तर येशूले पछि फर्केर तिनीहरूलाई हप्काउनु भयो।

⁵⁵But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.

⁵⁶त्यसपछि येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरू अर्का शहरतिर लाग्नु भयो।

⁵⁶ For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

⁵⁷उनीहरू सबै नै बाटोम जाँदैथिए। कुनै एकले उहाँलाई भने, “तपाईं जहाँ जानुहुन्छ म पनि तपाईंसंगै जान्छु।”

⁵⁷As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”

⁵⁸येशूले भन्नुभयो, “स्यालहरूको बस्ने दूलोहरू छन्। चरा-चुरुङ्गीहरूको बस्ने गुँडहरू छन्। तर मानिसको पुत्रलाई कुनै ठाउँ छैन जहाँ उसले आफ्नो शिर अडाउन सकोस्।”

⁵⁸Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

⁵⁹येशू ले अर्को मानिसलाई भन्नु भयो, “मेरो पछि लाग। “ तर त्यो मानिसले भन्यो, “हे प्रभु, पहिले मेरा बाबुलाई गाड्न जान दिनुहोस्।”

⁵⁹He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

⁶⁰तर येशूले तिनलाई भन्नुभयो, “मुर्दाहरूलाई आफ्नै मुर्दा मानिस गाडन देऊ। तर तिमी जाऊ अनि परमेश्वरको राज्यको विषयमा प्रचार गर।”

⁶⁰But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God.”

⁶¹अर्को मानिसले भने, “प्रभु म तपाईंको पछि लाग्नेछु, तर पहिले मेरो आफन्तहरूबाट बिदा लिन दिनुहोस्।”

⁶¹Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”

⁶²येशूले भन्नुभयो, “यदि कुनै मानिसले हलोमा हात लगाएर पछिल्तिर हेर्छ भने, त्यो परमेश्वरको राज्यको लायक हुने छैन।”

⁶²But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
