¹Now it happened, while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.

¹येशू गेनेसरेत झीलको किनारमा उभिनु भयो। उहाँको वरिपरि धेरै मानिसहरू भीड लाग्दै थिए। तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको वचन सुन्न चाहन्थे।

²He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

²येशूले झीलको किनारमा दुइवटा डुङ्गा देख्नु भयो। माछावालाहरू डुङ्गाबाट निस्केर तिनीहरूको माछा मार्ने जालहरू धुँदै थिए।

³He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

³उहाँ एउटा डुङ्गामा छढनु भयो जुन शोमोनको थियो अनि उसलाई त्यो डुङ्गालाई किनारको अलिक छेउमा लाउन लागाउनु भयो। तब उहाँ त्यसमा बस्नु भयो अनि मानिसहरूलाई सिकाउन थाल्नु भयो।

⁴When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.”

⁴जब येशूले आफ्नो भनाई सक्नु भयो, उहाँले शिमोनलाई भन्नु भयो, “यो डुङ्गालाई गहिरो पानी तिर लैजाऊ अनि माछा मार्नु जाल फिजाऊ।”

⁵Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”

⁵शिमोनले उत्तर दिए, “गुरूज्यू हामीले सारा रात परिश्रम गर्यौ र पनि एउटै माछा समात्न सकेनौं। तर किनभने तपाईंले भन्नुभयो, म जाल फिजाउँछु।”

⁶When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.

⁶तिनीहरूले आफ्नो जाल पानीमा फ्याँके। तिनीहरूको जाल भरी माछ परेर जाल फाट्न आँटेको थियो।

⁷They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.

⁷तिनीहरू अरू डुङ्गामा भएका आफ्ना साझेदारहरूलाई पनि सहायताको लागी संकेत दिए। साझेदारहरू आए अनि डुङ्गामा यति माछा लादे कि डुङ्गाहरू डुब्न थाले।

⁸But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”

⁸[This verse may not be a part of this translation]

⁹For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;

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

¹⁰and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”

¹⁰जब्दीका पुत्रहरू याकूब र यूहन्ना पनि छक्क परे। याकूब र यहून्ना शिमोनसंगै माछा मार्दैं थिए। येशूले शिमोनलाई भन्नुभयो, “डराउनु पर्दैन अब उसो तिमीहरू माछा मार्ने छैनौ तर मानिसहरू समात्ने छौ।”

¹¹When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.

¹¹तिनीहरूले आफ्ना डुङ्गाहरू किनारमा ल्याए। अनि तिनीहरूले ती सबै छोडेर येशूको पछि लागे।

¹²It happened, while he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”

¹²जब एकपल्ट येशू एउटा शहरमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो, त्यहाँ एउटा शरीर कोढीले पीडीत मानिस पनि थियो। जब त्यसले येशूलाई देख्यो, उहाँ अघि निहुरिएर विन्ती गर्न लाग्यो, “हे प्रभु, मलाई निको पारिदिनुहोस्। म जान्दछु तपाईंले चाहनु भयो भने मलाई जाती पार्नु सक्नु हुन्छ।”

¹³He stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him.

¹³येशूले भन्नु भयो, “म तिमीलाई निको पार्न चाहन्छु। निको होऊ!” त्यसपछि उहाँले त्यस मानिसलाई छुनु भयो। झट्टै कोढले छोढयो।

¹⁴He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

¹⁴येशूले तिनलाई आदेश दिनु भयो, “यस्तो भएको कुरा कसैलाई नभन्नु। तर आफै गएर पूजाहारीलाई देखाउनु मोशाले भने झैं आफु निको भएकोमा परमेश्वरलाई बलि चढाउनु। यसबाट तिमी निको भएको प्रमाण हुन्छ।”

¹⁵But the report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.

¹⁵तर येशूको विषयमा समाचार अझ प्रचार हुँदै गयो। धेरै मानिसहरू उहाँकहाँ सुन्न आँउथे र बिमार निको भएर जान्थे।

¹⁶But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.

¹⁶येशू प्रायः नै एकान्त ठाउँमा प्रार्थना गर्नुहुन्थ्यो।

¹⁷It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.

¹⁷एक दिन येशूले मानिसहरूलाई शिक्षा दिंदैं हुनुहुन्थ्यो, फरिसीहरू र शास्त्रीहरू पनि त्यहीं नै बसिरहेका थिए। तिनीहरू यरूशलेम, यहूदिया र गालिलका सबै शहरहरूबाट आएका थिए। परमप्रभुले उनलाई निको पार्ने शक्ति दिनुभएको थियो।

¹⁸Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before Jesus.

¹⁸एकजना पक्षघातको रोगी त्यहाँ एउटा खाटमा लिएर आए अनि तिनीहरूले भित्र ल्याउने र येशूको अघि राख्ने चेष्टा गर्दैं थिए।

¹⁹Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst before Jesus.

¹⁹तर त्यहाँ मानिसहरूको त्यत्ति भीड थियो कि येशू भएकहाँ पुग्नलाई बाटो थिएन। त्सकारण ती मानिसहरू घरको छानामाथि चढे अनि केही झिंगटीहरू हटाएर प्वालबाट त्यो विमारी मानिसहरूलाई उसको खाटसँगै भीडको बिचमा र येशूको अघि ओह्याले।

²⁰Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

²⁰तिनीहरूको अटल विश्वास देखेर उहाँले भन्नु भयो, “मित्र, तिम्रो पापहरू क्षमा भयो।”

²¹The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?”

²¹तब शास्त्रीहरू र फरिसीहरू आपसमा बात गर्न लागे, “यो मानिस को हो? उसले जे भन्दैछ, परमेश्वर को विरोधमा भन्दैछ। केवल परमेश्वरले मात्र पापीहरूलाई क्षमा गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ।”

²²But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?

²²तर येशूले तिनीहरूले के सोचे थाहा पाउनु भयो। उहाँले भन्नु भयो, “तिमीहरू मनमा यस्तो प्रश्नहरू किन गर्दछौ?

²³ Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you;’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk?’

²³कुन चाँहि सजिलो छः तिम्रो पाप क्षमा भन्नु अथवा उठ अनि जाऊ भन्नु ?

²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (he said to the paralyzed man), “I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house.”

²⁴तर म तिमीहरूलाई देखाउँनेछु कि पृथवीमा मानिसको पुत्रलाई पापहरू क्षमा गर्ने अधिकार छ।” तब उहाँले त्यस पक्षाघातीलाई भन्नुभयो, “म तिमीलाई भन्दछु , उठ, तिम्रो बिछौना बाँध अनि घर जाऊ।”

²⁵Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.

²⁵सबैको अघि त्यो तुरन्तै उठ्यो र आफ्नो बिछ्यौना च्याप्यो अनि परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्दैं घरतिर लाग्यो।

²⁶Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

²⁶सबै मानिसहरू चकित भए। अनि परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गर्न थाले। तिनीहरू भयभित भए अनि भने, “हामीले आज अचम्मका कुरा देख्यौं।”

²⁷After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”

²⁷यसपछि येशू बाहिर जानु भयो अनि कर-कार्यालयमा एकजना कर-संग्रहकर्त्तालाई बसिरहेको देख्नु भयो। त्यसको नाउँ लेवी थियो। येशूले त्यसलाई भन्नु भयो, “मेरो पछि लाग।”

²⁸He left everything, and rose up and followed him.

²⁸लेवी जुरूक्क उठ्‌यो अनि सबै कुरा छोडेर येशूको पछि लाग्यो।

²⁹Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

²⁹तब लेवीले येशूका निम्ति आफ्नो घरमा ठूलो भोजको आयोजन गरे। त्यहाँ कर उठाउनेहरू र अरू मानसहरूको पनि ठूलो भीड थियो जो तिनीहरूसंगै मेजमा खाँदथे,

³⁰Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”

³⁰तर फरिसहरू र तिनीहरूका शास्त्रीहरू उहाँको चेलाहरूको विरुद्धमा यसो भन्दै गनगनाउन लागे, “तिमीहरू कर उठाउनेहरू र पापीहरूसित किन खान पीन गर्छौ?”

³¹Jesus answered them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

³¹येशूले उत्तर दिनु भयो, “निरोगीलाई वैद्यको आवश्यक पर्दैन, तर रोगीहरूलाई मात्र वैद्यको आवश्यकता पर्छ।

³² I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

³²म धार्मिक मानिसहरूलाई बोलाउनु आएको होइन, म त पापीहरूलाई तिनीहरूका हृदय र रहन सहन परिवर्तन गर भनी अह्राउनु यहाँ आएको हुँ।”

³³They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

³³तिनीहरूले येशूलाई भने, “फरिसीहरूले झैं यूहन्नाको चेलाहरूले पनि समय समयमा उपवास र प्रार्थना गर्दछन्। तर तपाईंको चेलाहरू त सँधैं खान्छन् र पिउँछन्।”

³⁴He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁴येशूले तिनहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “कुनै पनि विवाहमा, जन्तीहरूलाई दुलहा तिनीहरूका साथमा बसुन्जेल उपवास बस्न सक्तैन।

³⁵ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”

³⁵तर समय यस्तो आउँछ जब दुलहा तिनीहरूबाट छुट्टिनु पर्दछ। त्यस समय तिनीहरू उपवास बस्नेछन्।”

³⁶He also told a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.

³⁶येशूले तिनीहरूलाई यो दृष्टान्त सुनाउनु भयोः “कुनै मानिसले नयाँ लुगा च्यातेर पुरानो लुगा टाल्दैन। किन? किनभने त्यसो गरे नयाँ लुगा बिग्रन्छ, अनि टालेको टुक्रा पुरानो लुगासंग मिल्दैन।

³⁷ No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.

³⁷कसैले पनि नयाँ दाखरसलाई पुरानो दाखरसको मशकमा भर्दैंन। किन? किनभने नयाँ दाखरसले मशकहरू फुटाउँछ, जसले गर्दा दाखरस चुहेर जान्छ औ मशकहरू पनि नष्ट हुन्छ।

³⁸ But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

³⁸मानिसहरूले सधैं नयाँ दाखरसलाई नयाँ मशकामा राख्छन्।

³⁹ No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

³⁹कसैले पनि पुरानो दाखरस पिए पछि नयाँ दाखरस पिउन खोज्दैन। किनभने उसले भन्छ, पुरानो दाखरस नै असलछ।”
