यूहन्ना 13
1 यो प्राय यहूदीहरूको निस्तार चाड आइसकेको बेला थियो। येशूले जान्नु हुन्थ्यो कि अब उहाँ को संसार छोडने समय आइपुग्कोछ। अब आफ्ना पिता कहाँ फर्की जाने समय आइपुगेकोछ। येशूले सधैं तिनीहरूलाई प्रेम गर्नु भयो जो उहाँसंग त्यस संसारमा थिए। अब येशूले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो पूर्ण प्रेम देखाउने समय आएको थियो।
2 येशू र उहाँका चेलाहरूको, निम्ति बेलुकाको भोजन थियो। शिमोन इस्कारयोतीको छोरा यहूदालाई येशूको विरुद्ध हुने कुरा अघिबाटै शैतानले प्रेरित गराएको थियो।
3 पिताले येशूलाई सबै कुरामाथि शक्ति दिनुभएको थियो। येशूले यी कुराहरू जान्नु हुन्थ्यो। उहाँ यो पनि जान्नु हुन्थ्यो कि उहाँ परमेश्वरबाट आउनु भएको हो। अनि परमश्वर तर्फै र्फकिरहनु भएको थियो भन्ने पनि जान्नु हुन्थ्यो।
4 जब तिनीहरूले खाई रहेका थिए, येशू उठनु भयो र आफ्ना पोशाकलाई पन्साउनु भयो। उहाँले तौलिया लिएर आफ्नो कम्मरमा बेह्रनु भयो।
5 तब येशूले भाँडामा पानी खन्याउनु भयो। उहाँले तब चेलाहरू खुट्टा धुन थाल्नु भयो। र आफ्ना कम्मरमा बेहेरेको तौलियाले उनीहरूका खुट्टा पुछिदिनु भयो।
6 येशू शिमोन पत्रुस कहाँ आउनु भयो। तर पत्रुसले येशूलाई भने, “प्रभु, मेरो खुट्टा धुनु पर्दैन।”
7 येशूले जवाफमा भन्नुभयो, “अहिले मैले के गरिरहेछु तिमी जान्दैनौ। तर पछि बुझने छौं।”
8 पत्रुसले भने, “अहँ! तपाईंले मेरो खुट्टा कहिल्यै धुनुहुँदैन।”येशूले भन्नुभयो, “यदि मैले तिम्रो खुट्टा धोइनँ भने, मसँग तिम्रो कुनै अंश रहने छैन।”
9 शिमोन पत्रुसले भने, “प्रभु, मेरो खुट्टामात्र होइन, मेरो हात र टाउँको पनि धोइदिनु हवस्।”
10 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “नुहाइसके पछि एक मानिस सम्पूर्ण रूपले सफा हुँदछ। उसको खुट्टामात्र धुनु पर्दछ। तिमीहरू सबैजना शुद्ध छौ तर कोही कोही मात्र छैनौ।”
11 यशूले उहाँको विरुद्ध को जाने छ चिन्नुहुन्थ्यो। त्यसैकारणले येशूले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरूमा सबै शुद्ध छैनौं।”
12 येशूले तिनीहरूका खुट्टा धोइसक्नु भयो। तब आफ्नो पोशाक लगाई टेबलतर्फ फर्की जानुभयो उहाँले भन्नुभयो, “तिमीहरू जान्दछौ मैले तिमीहरूलाई के गरें?”
13 तिमीहरूले मलाई ‘गुरूज्यू’ र ‘प्रभु’ भनेर बोलाउँछौ। अनि यो ठीक हो किनभने म त्यही हुँ।
14 तिमीहरूका प्रभु र गुरू हुँ। किनेभने मैले तिमीहरूका खुट्टा एक नोकरले जस्तो धोएँ। यसैले तिमीहरूले पनि एकअर्काको खुट्टा धुनु पर्छ।
15 मैले तिमीहरूको अघि उदाहरणको लागि यो गरें । र तिमीहरूले एकाअर्कामा त्यसै गर्नु पर्छ जस्तो मैले गरें।
16 म सत्य भन्छु। एक नोकर उसको मालिक भन्दा ठूलो हुँदैन जसलाई केही कार्यका निम्ति पठाइएको छ ऊ ती पठाउने भन्दा ठूलो होइन।
17 यदि तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू जान्दछौ, गर्यौ भने सुखी हुनेछौ।
18 “मैले तिमीहरू सबैको विषयमा भनिरहेको होइन। मैले छानेका मानिसहरू म चिन्दछु। तर धर्मशास्त्रमा जे भनिएकोछ त्यो हुन्छः जसले मेरो भोजन खायो ऊ नै शत्रु भयो।
19 अब योस हुन अगाडि नै म भनिरहेछु। जब यस्तो घटनेछ तब म उही नै हुँ भनेर तिमीहरूले विश्वास गर्नेछौ।
20 यसर्थ म साँचो भन्छु। जसले मैले पठाएको मानिसलाई ग्रहण गर्दछ तब उसले मलाई पनि ग्रहण गर्दछ। र जसले मलाई ग्रहण गर्छ भने उसले मलाई जसले पठाउनु भयो उहाँलाई पनि ग्रहण गर्छ।”
21 जब येशूले यी कुराहरू भनी सक्नु भयो, येशू आत्मामा साह्रै विचलित हुनुभयो। उहाँले खुल्लम-खुल्ला भन्नुभयो, “म साँचो भन्छु कि तिमीहरू मध्ये एकजना मेरो विरुद्ध हुनछौ।”
22 येशूका चेलाहरूले एक-अर्कालाई हेरे। तिनीहरूले बुझेनन् कि येशूले कसको विषयमा भनिरहनु भएको थियो।
23 उहाँका चेलाहरू मध्ये एकजना उहाँकै छेउमा बसिरहका थिए। तिनलाई येशूले अत्यन्त प्रेम गर्नु हुन्थ्यो।
24 शिमोन पत्रुसले त्यस चेलालाई इशारा गरेर सोध्नु लगाए कि उहाँले भन्नु भएको मानसि को होला।
25 त्यो चेला उहाँको छातीमा अडेस लाग्यो अनि सोध्यो, “प्रभु त्यो को होला जो तपाईंको विरूद्ध जानेछ?”
26 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “म यो रोटी प्यालामा चोब्नेछु र जसलाई म त्यो चोबेको रोटी दिन्छु ऊ नै मेरो विरुद्ध हुनेछ।” यसर्थ येशूले रोटीको एक टुक्रा लिनु भयो। उहाँले त्यो चोब्नु भयो र शिमोनको छोरो यहूदा इस्करियोतलाई दिनुभयो।
27 जब यहूदाले त्यो रोटीको टुक्रा लियो शैतान उसकोभित्र पस्यो, येशूले यहूदालाई भन्नु भयो, “तिमीले जे गर्नु छ त्यो झट्टै गरिहाल!”
28 भोजनमा बसिरहेकाहरू कसैले येशूले यहूदालाई त्यसो भन्नुभएको तात्पर्य बुझेनन्।
29 यहूदा मात्र एक त्यस्तो चरित्रको थियो जसले पैसाको थैली राख्दथ्यो। अरूहरूले के सोचे भने येशूले यहूदालाई भोजको निम्ति आवश्यक चीजहरू किन्न पठाउनु भयो। अर्थात् यसो पनि अरूहरूले सम्झे कि येशूले गरिबहरूका लागि केही किन्न यहूदालई पठाउनु भयो।
30 यहूदाले येशूले दिनुभएको त्यो रोटीको टुक्रा ग्रहण गर्यो र तुरुन्तै बाहिर निस्की हाल्यो। त्यसबेला रात परिसकेको थियो।
31 यहूदा जब गइसकेको थियो, तब येशूले भन्नु भयो, “अब मानिसको पुत्रले महिमा प्राप्त गर्छ अनि परमेश्वरले मानिसको पुत्रबाट महिमा प्राप्त गर्नुहुन्छ।
32 यदि परमेश्वरले पनि उसको माध्यमबाट महिमा प्राप्त गर्दछ भने, उहाँले छोरोलाई स्वयंबाट महिमा तुरून्तै दिनुहुनेछ।”
33 येशूले भन्नुभयो, “मेरा छोरा-छोरीहो, अब म तिमीहरूसंग केही समय सम्म मात्र रहनेछु। तिमीहरूले मलाई खोज्नेछौ। अनि यहूदीहरूलाई मैले जे भने त्यो तिमीहरूलाई भन्नेछु, अब जहाँ म गइरहेछु त्यहाँ तिमीहरू जान सक्तैनौ।
34 “म तिमीहरूलाई एउटा नयाँ आज्ञा दिन्छः एकअर्कामा प्रेम गर। तिमीहरूले मैले जस्तो एकाअर्कामा प्रेम गर्नु पर्छ।
35 यदि तिमीहरूले आपसमा प्रेम गर्यौ भने यस तरिकाबाट सबै मानिसहरूले जान्नेछन् कि तिमीहरू मेरा चेलाहरू हौ।”
36 शिमोन पत्रुसले येशूलाई सोधे, “प्रभु, तपाईं कहाँ जानु हुँदैछ?”येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “जहाँ म गइरहेछु त्यहाँ तिमी पछ्याउन सक्तैनौ अब। तर पछि मात्र पछ्याउनु सक्ने छौ।”
37 पत्रुसले सोधे, “प्रभु, अहिले म तपाईंलाई किन पछ्यान सक्तिन? म तपाईंका निम्ति मर्न तयार छु!”
38 येशूले जवाफ दिनुभयो, “साँचि नै तिमी आफ्नो जीवन मेरा निम्ति त्याग्न सक्नेछौ? म साँचो भन्छु। भाले बास्नु अघि, तिमीले तिनपल्ट भन्नेछौ कि तिमीले मलाई चिन्दैनौ।”
1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
