¹Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.

¹अर्को समय, येशू समुद्रको किनारमा हुनुहुन्थ्यो अनि मानिसहरूलाई उपदेश दिन लाग्नु भयो। धेरै धेरै मानिसहरू येशूको वरिपरि भेलाभए। यसर्थ येशू समुद्रमा एउटा डुङ्गामा चढनु भयो, अनि त्यहाँ बस्नुभयो। सबै मानिसहरू समुद्रको किनारमा नै रहे।

²He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

²येशूले डुङ्गाबाट शिक्षा दिनु भयो। येशूले तिनीहरूलाई दृष्टान्तको उपयोग गरेर धेरै कुराहरू सिकाउनु भयो। उहाँले भन्नुभयो,

³ “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow,

³“सुन! एकजना किसान बीऊ छर्न गयो।

⁴ and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds TR adds “of the air” came and devoured it.

⁴जब त्यसले बीऊहरू छर्यो केही बीऊहरू बाटोमा छरियो, चराचुरूङ्गीहरू आए, अनि ती बीऊहरू खाईदिए।

⁵ Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.

⁵केही बीऊहरू चट्टान भएको भूईमा छरिए जहाँ त्यत्ति माटो थिएन। माटोको गहिराई नभएकोले त्यहाँ छिट्टै ती बिरूवाहरू उम्रे।

⁶ When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

⁶तर जब घाम लाग्यो, ती बिरुवाहरू ओइलाएर सुकीगए किनभने तिनीहरूको जरा त्यत्ति गहिरोसम्म थिएन।

⁷ Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

⁷कतिपय बीऊहरू काँडाघारीमा पर्यो, जब काँडाहरू बढे आए, ती बिरूवाहरूलाई त्यसले राम्ररी बढन दिएन। अनि ती बिरूवाहरूमा फल लाग्न सकेन।

⁸ Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some brought forth thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”

⁸केही बीऊहरू राम्रा माटोमा परे, राम्रा माटोमा ती उम्रिए। ती बढे अनि फल दिनसक्ने भए, केही बोटहरूले तीस गुणा, केहीले साठी गुणा र केहीले सय गुणा जति फल फलाए।”

⁹He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

⁹अनि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू जसले सुनिरहेकाछौ, मेरो कुरा सुन।”

¹⁰When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

¹⁰अनि जब येशू एक्लै हुनु हुन्थ्यो, बाह्रजना प्रेरितहरू र उहाँका अरू चेलाहरूले उहाँले भन्नुभएको दृष्टान्तहरूको बारेमा सोध्न थाले।

¹¹He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

¹¹येशूले भन्नुभयो, “खाली तिमीहरूले मात्र परमेश्वरको राज्यको रहस्य बारे जान्नसकछौ। तर अरू मानिसहरूलाई म दृष्टान्तहरू भनेरै सबै कुरा सिकाउँछु।

¹² that ‘seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sins should be forgiven them.’” Isaiah 6:9-10

¹²किनकि तिनीहरू हेर्न त हेर्छन् तर तिनीहरू देख्दैनन्, तिनीहरू सुन्न त सुन्छन्, तिनीहरू बुझ्दैनन् यदि तिनीहरूले देखे र बुझे भने, तिनीहरू बद्लिनेछन् र क्षमा पाउनेछन।’” यशैया 6:9-10

¹³He said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

¹³येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्नूभयो, “के तीमीहरूले यो कथा बुझ्न सवछौ? यदि तिमीहरूले बुझन सकेनौ भने कसरी अरू दृष्टान्त भुझ्ने छौ?

¹⁴ The farmer sows the word.

¹⁴यो किसान त्यस्तै एक जना मानिस जस्तै हो जसले परमेश्वरको वचनलाई छर्दछ।

¹⁵ The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

¹⁵कहिलेकहीं ती वचनहरू बाटोतिर छरिन्छन। यी सब ती मानिसहरू जस्तै हुन् जसले परमेश्वरको वचन सुन्दछ, अनि शैतान आउँछ अनि तिनीहरूमा रोपिएका वचनलाई लगेर जान्छ।

¹⁶ These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.

¹⁶अरूहरू चट्टान भएको माटोमा छरिएका बीऊहरू जस्तै हुन तिनीहरू वचन सुन्दछन् अनि तत्कालै आनन्दसाथ स्वीकार गर्दछन्।

¹⁷ They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

¹⁷तर तिनीहरूले आफ्नो जीवनमा गहिरो रूपमा ती वचनहरू ग्रहण गर्दैनन्। तिनीहरूले क्षणिक रूपमा मात्र यसलाई ग्रहण गर्दछन्। र जब वचनको कारणले तिनीहरू संकट अनि खेदोमा पर्छन् झट्टै तिनीहरूले विश्वास छोडिदिन्छन्।

¹⁸ Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word,

¹⁸अरू मानिसहरू काँढाघारीमा परेको बीऊहरू जस्तै हुन, तिनीहरू वचनहरू सुन्द्छन्।

¹⁹ and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

¹⁹अनि यी कुराहरू तिनीहरूका जीवनमा आइपर्छ जीवनको चिन्ता, रूपियाँ पैसाको लालच, अनि अरू त्यस्तै थोकहरूको चाहना। यस्ता कुराहरूको कारणले वचनहरूको विकास हुन सक्तैन। अनि वचनहरू तिनीहरूका जीवनमा फलदायी पनि हुँदैनन्।

²⁰ Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”

²⁰अरू मानिसहरू मलिलो माटामा रोपिएका बीऊहरू झैं हुन्छन्। तिमीहरू वचन सुन्दछन् ग्रहण गर्दछन् अनि वचनहरू तिनीहरूमा बढदछन् र फल दिने योग्य हुन्छन् केहिले तीस गुणा, केहिले साठी गुणा, अनि केहिले सय गुणा सम्म।”

²¹He said to them, “Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket literally, a modion, a dry measuring basket containing about a peck (about 9 litres) or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand?

²¹अनि येशूले तिनीहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले कुनै दियोलाई पाथीमुनि वा खाटमुनि राख्न भनेर ल्याऊछौ? होईन तिमीहरूले दियोलाई सामदानमथि राख्नलाई ल्याऊँछौ।

²² For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

²²लुकाइएका प्रत्येक कुराहरू देखा पर्छ। सबै गुप्त कुराहरुमा प्रकाशमा आउनेछन्।

²³ If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”

²³तिमीहरू जसले मलाई सुनिरहेका छौ, सुन।”

²⁴He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear.

²⁴तब उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूले जे पनि सुन्छौ त्यस कुराहरुमथि राम्ररी बिचार गर। तिमीहरूले जे जति अरूलाई दिदँछौ त्यत्तिनै परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुहुनेछ।

²⁵ For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.”

²⁵तर परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई अझ अधिक दिनुहुनेछ। जोसित छ उसले अझ धेरै पाऊनेछ। तर जससित छैन, आफुसित भएको त्यो पनि उसले हराउनु पर्नेछ।”

²⁶He said, “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth,

²⁶त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “परमेश्वरको राज्य एकजना मानिस जस्तै हो जसले जमीनमा बीऊ छर्दछ।

²⁷ and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he doesn’t know how.

²⁷बिऊहरू उम्रेर बढन थाल्दछ। मानिस सुतेको होस् वा ऊठेको त्यो दिन होस् कि रात होस् कि रात होस् बीऊ उम्रंदै जान्छ। मानिसहरूले जान्दैन त्यो कसरी उम्रन्छ।

²⁸ For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.

²⁸कसैको सहयता नपाई नै जमीनले अन्न उर्माछ, पहिले बोट उम्रन्छ, त्यसपछि बाला अनि त्यसरीनै बोटभरि अन्नको दाना लाग्दछ।

²⁹ But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

²⁹जब अन्न पाक्छ, मानिसले त्यसलाई काट्दछ। यो नै फसल काट्ने उचित समय हो।”

³⁰He said, “How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it?

³⁰त्यसपछि येशूले भन्नुभयो, “परमेश्वरको राज्य यस्तै हो भनेर हामी के-को दृष्टान्त उपयोग गर्न सकछौ? यसको वर्णन गर्न कुन दृष्टान्त उपयोग गर्न सक्छौ?

³¹ It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

³¹परमेश्वरको राज्य रायोको दाना जस्तै हो, रायोको दाना एकदमै सानो बीऊ हो जसलाई भूइँमा छरिन्छ।

³² yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”

³²तर जब तिमीहरूले यसको बीऊ छर्दछौ, यो उम्रदै बढछ, अनि यो तिमीहरूको बगैंचामा सबैभन्दा अग्लो बोट भएर देखा पर्दछ। यसको ठूला-ठूला हाँगाहरू हुन्छन्, जंङ्गली चराचुरूङ्गीहरू आउँदछन् अनि गुँड बनाएर आफूलाई कडा घामबाट जोगऊँदछ।”

³³With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

³³येशूले मानिसहरूलाई सिकाऊन यस्ता थुप्रै दृष्टान्त भन्नुभयो। उहाँले तिनीहरूले जतिसम्म बुझ्दछन् त्यही स्तरसम्म सिकाउनुभयो।

³⁴Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

³⁴मानिसहरूलाई सिकाउनलाई येशूले दृष्टान्त उपयोग गर्नुभयो। तर जब येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरूमात्र एकान्तमा एकत्र भएका हुन्थे, येशूले तिनीहरूलाई सबै कुरा व्याख्या गरिदिनु हुन्थ्यो। : 23-37; लूका 8:22-25)

³⁵On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”

³⁵त्यसदिन साँझमा येशूले आफ्ना चेलाहरूलाई भन्नुभयो, “हामी समूद्र पारि जाउँ।”

³⁶Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him.

³⁶येशू र चेलाहरूले मानिसहरूलाई त्यहीं छोडे। उनीहरू सबै येशू पहिले चढिरहनू भएको डुङ्गाद्वारा गए। उनीहरूसँग अरू डुङ्गाहरू पनि थिए।

³⁷A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled.

³⁷समुद्रमा त्यस बेला डरलागदो आँधी चल्यो। समूद्रका छालहरूले डुङ्गाको छेऊमा हान्यो, अनि डुङ्गामा पानी पस्न लाग्यो, डुङ्गा प्राय पानीले भरिन लाग्यो।

³⁸He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?”

³⁸येशू डुङ्गाको पछिल्लो पट्टि हुनुहुन्थ्यो सिरानीमा टाउको राखेर उहाँ निदाइरहनु भएको थियो। चेलाहरू गएर उहाँलाई बिउँझाए। तिनीहरूले भने, “हे गुरूज्यू, हामीहरू डुब्दैछौं। के वास्ता गर्नुहुन्न?”

³⁹He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

³⁹तब येशू जुरूक्क उठ्नुभयो अनि त्यो आँधीलाई हकार्नुभयो। येशूले समूद्रलाई भन्नू भयो, “चूपचाप बस शान्त हो। अनि तत्कालै आँधी थामियो अनि ताल शान्त बन्यो।

⁴⁰He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”

⁴⁰येशूले चेलाहरूलाई भन्नूभयो, “तिमीहरू किन यस्तो कायर? तिमीहरूमा अझ्पनि विश्वास छैन?”

⁴¹They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

⁴¹चेलाहरू खुबै डराए अनि एक-अर्कासित बहस गर्न लागे, “उहाँ कस्तो प्रकारको मानिस हुनुहुन्छ? यतिसम्म कि आँधी र छालहरूले पनि उहाँको आज्ञा मान्दछ।”
