Chronological God Knows and Cares 12 Under these circumstances, after [a]so many thousands of [b]people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, “(A)Beware of the [c]leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 (B)But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 3 Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have [d]whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on (C)the housetops. 4 “Now I say to you, (D)My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: (E)fear the One who, after He has killed someone, has the power to throw that person into [e](F)hell; yes, I tell you, fear [f]Him! 6 Are (G)five sparrows not sold for two [g]assaria? And yet not one of them has gone unnoticed in the sight of God. 7 (H)But even the hairs of your head are all counted. [h]Do not fear; you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows. 8 “Now I say to you, everyone who (I)confesses Me before people, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God; 9 but (J)the one who denies Me before people will be denied (K)before the angels of God. 10 (L)And everyone who [i]speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. 11 Now when they bring you before (M)the synagogues and the officials and the authorities, do not (N)worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say; 12 for (O)the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” Greed Denounced 13 Now someone [j]in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But He said to him, “[k](P)You there—who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over the two of you?” 15 But He said to them, “(Q)Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one is affluent does his life consist of his possessions.” 16 And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. 17 And he began thinking to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and I will store all my grain and my goods there. 19 And I will say to [l]myself, “(R)You have many goods stored up for many years to come; relax, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘(S)You fool! This very night [m](T)your soul is demanded of you; and (U)as for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’ 21 Such is the one who (V)stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich in relation to God.” 22 And He said to His disciples, “(W)For this reason I tell you, [n]do not worry about your [o]life, as to what you are to eat; nor for your body, as to what you are to wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. 24 Consider the (X)ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor (Y)barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds! 25 And which of you by worrying can add a [p](Z)day to his [q]life’s span? 26 Therefore if you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about the other things? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither labor nor [r]spin; but I tell you, not even (AA)Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28 Now if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? (AB)You of little faith! 29 And do not [s]seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not (AC)keep worrying. 30 For [t]all these things are what the nations of the world [u]eagerly seek; and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But [v]seek His kingdom, and (AD)these things will be [w]provided to you. 32 [x](AE)Do not be afraid, (AF)little flock, because (AG)your Father has chosen to give you the kingdom. 33 “(AH)Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts that do not wear out, (AI)an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor does a moth destroy. 34 For (AJ)where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Be in Readiness 35 “[y](AK)Be prepared, and keep your (AL)lamps lit. 36 You are also to be like people who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door for him when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find (AM)on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that (AN)he will [z]prepare himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and he will come up and serve them. 38 (AO)Whether he comes in the [aa]second watch, or even in the [ab]third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. 39 “(AP)But [ac]be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be (AQ)broken into. 40 (AR)You too, be ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not think He will.” 41 Peter said, “Lord, are You telling this parable to us, or (AS)to everyone else as well?” 42 And (AT)the Lord said, “(AU)Who then is the faithful and sensible (AV)steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that (AW)slave whom his [ad]master finds so doing when he comes. 44 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will take a long time to come,’ and he begins to beat the other slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; 46 then the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know, and will [ae]cut him in two, and assign [af]him a place with the unbelievers. 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accordance with his will, will (AX)receive many blows, 48 but the one who did not (AY)know it, and committed acts deserving of [ag]a beating, will receive only a few blows. (AZ)From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more. Christ Divides People 49 “I [ah]have come to cast fire upon the earth; and [ai]how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a (BA)baptism [aj]to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! 51 (BB)Do you think that I came to provide peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; 52 for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, (BC)father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” 54 And He was also saying to the crowds, “(BD)Whenever you see a cloud rising [ak]in the west, you immediately say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55 And whenever you feel a [al]south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a (BE)hot day,’ and it turns out that way. 56 You hypocrites! (BF)You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you do not know how to analyze this present time? 57 “And (BG)why do you not even judge by yourselves what is right? 58 For (BH)when you are going with your accuser to appear before the magistrate, on the way, make an effort to [am]settle with him, so that he does not drag you before the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out of there until you have paid up [an]the very last [ao](BI)lepton.” Call to Repent 13 Now on that very occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood (BJ)Pilate had [ap]mixed with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus responded and said to them, “(BK)Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans just because they have suffered this fate? 3 No, I tell you, but unless you [aq]repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or do you think that those eighteen on whom the tower in (BL)Siloam fell and killed them were worse [ar](BM)offenders than all the other people who live in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” 6 And He began telling this parable: “A man had (BN)a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any. 7 And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Look! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree [as]without finding any. (BO)Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; 9 and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’” Healing on the Sabbath 10 Now Jesus was (BP)teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And [at]there was a woman who for eighteen years had had (BQ)a [au]sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent over double, and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” 13 And He (BR)laid His hands on her; and immediately she stood up straight again, and began (BS)glorifying God. 14 But (BT)the synagogue leader, indignant because Jesus (BU)had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “(BV)There are six days during which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15 But (BW)the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, (BX)does each of you on the Sabbath not untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water it? 16 And this woman, (BY)a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom (BZ)Satan has bound for [av]eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this restraint on the Sabbath day?” 17 And as He said this, all His opponents were being [aw]humiliated; and (CA)the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him. Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven 18 So (CB)He was saying, “(CC)What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and (CD)the birds of the sky nested in its branches.” 20 And again He said, “(CE)To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21 (CF)It is like [ax]leaven, which a woman took and hid in (CG)three [ay]sata of flour until it was all leavened.” Teaching in the Villages 22 And He was passing through one city and village after another, teaching, and (CH)proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24 “(CI)Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 Once the head of the house gets up and (CJ)shuts the door, and you begin standing outside and knocking on the door, saying, ‘(CK)Lord, open up to us!’ and He then will answer and say to you, ‘(CL)I do not know where you are from.’ 26 Then you will (CM)begin saying, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets!’ 27 And yet He will [az]say, ‘(CN)I do not know where you are from; (CO)leave Me, all you [ba]evildoers.’ 28 (CP)In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out. 29 And they (CQ)will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, (CR)some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” 31 At that very time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, “Go away and leave this place, because (CS)Herod wants to kill You.” 32 And He said to them, “Go and tell that [bb]fox, ‘Behold, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I [bc](CT)reach My goal.’ 33 Nevertheless (CU)I must go on My journey today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a (CV)prophet would perish outside Jerusalem. 34 (CW)Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, (CX)just as a hen gathers her [bd]young under her wings, and you were unwilling! 35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until you say, ‘(CY)Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’” New American Standard Bible®, Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995, 2020 by The Lockman Foundation.

1 इतिहास 21Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) इस्राएलीहरूको गन्ती गरेर दाऊदले पाप गर्छन 21 शैतान इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको विरूद्ध थियो। त्यसले दाऊदलाई इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गन्ती गर्न उत्साहित तुल्यायो। 2 यसर्थ दाऊदले योआब र मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरूलाई भने, “जाऊ अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूको गणना गर। देशमा भएका हरेकको गन्तीगर। बेर्शेबा शहरदेखि दान शहरसम्म। तब मलाई भन, जसद्वारा त्यहाँ कति जना मानिसहरू छन् म जान्ने छु।” 3 तर योआबले भने, “परमप्रभुले उहाँको राष्ट्रलाई सय गुणा विशाल बनाउन्। हजूर, इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू तपाईका दास हुन्। तपाई किन यो काम गर्न चाहनुहुन्छ, मेरा परमप्रभु राजा तपाईले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई पापको दोषी तुल्याउनु हुनेछ।” 4 तर राजा दाऊद ढीट थिए। योआबले त्यसै गर्नु पर्यो जो राजाले भने। यसर्थ योआब गए अनि मानिसहरूको गिन्ती गर्दै देश भरि घुमे। त्यस पछि योआब यरूशलेम फर्की आए। 5 अनि कतिजना मानिसहरू थिए सो दाऊदलाई भने। इस्राएलमा 11,00,000 मानिसहरू थिए जो तरवार चलाउन सक्थे। अनि 4,70,000 मानिसहरू यहूदामा थिए जो तरवार चलाउन सक्थे। 6 योआबले लेवी अनि बिन्यामीनका कुल समूहहरूको गिन्ती लिएनन्। योआबले ती अनि परिवार समूहहरूको गणना गरेनन् किनभने तिनलाई दाऊदको आदेश मनपरेन। 7 परमेश्वरको नजरमा दाऊदले नराम्रो कार्य गरेका थिए। यसर्थ परमेश्वरले इस्राएललाई दण्ड दिनु भयो। परमेश्वरले इस्राएललाई दण्ड दिनु हुन्छ 8 तब दाऊदले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “मैले अति मूर्खतापूर्ण काम गरेकोछु। मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको गणना गरेर अति नराम्रो पाप गरेका छु। त्यसकारण म तपाईको दासबाट यो पाप हटाई दिनुहोस् भनी याचना गर्छु।” 9-10 गाद दाऊदका दर्शी थिए। परमप्रभुले गादलाई भन्नुभयो, “जा, अनि दाऊदलाई भनः ‘परमप्रभुले जे भन्नुहुन्छ त्यो यो होः म तँलाई तीनवटा रोजाइ दिंदैछु। तैंले ती मध्ये एउटा रोज्नु पर्छ। तब म तैंले रोजे अनुसार दण्ड दिनेछु।’” 11-12 तब गाद दाऊद कहाँ गए र गादले दाऊदलाई भने, “परमप्रभु यही भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘दाऊद रोज कुन चाँही दण्ड तिमी चाहन्छौ? अनिकालको तीन बर्ष, वा तीन महीनासम्म तेरो शत्रुहरू देखि भागी हिँड्नु जब तिनीहरू आफ्ना तरवार लिएर तँलाई खेद्नेछन् अथवा परमप्रभुबाट तीन दिनको दण्ड। या भयानक रूढ़ी देश भरि फैलिने छ अनि परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतले मानिसहरूलाई ध्वंश गर्दै इस्राएलको चारैतिर जानेछन्।’ दाऊद, परमेश्वरले मलाई पठाउनु भएको हो। अब तपाईंले निर्णय गर्नुहोस्, कुन उत्तर मैले उहाँलाई दिनु?” 13 दाऊदले गादलाई भने, “म संकष्टमा परेको छु। म कुनै मानिसले मलाई दण्ड दिएको फैसला चाहँदिन। परमप्रभु दयालू हुनुहुन्छ यसकारण मलाई उहाँको हातमा पर्न दिनोस्।” 14 यसर्थ परमप्रभुले इस्राएलमा भयंकर रोगहरू पठाउनुभयो अनि 70,000 मानिसहरू मरे। 15 परमेश्वरले एउटा स्वर्गदूतलाई यरूशलेम ध्वंश त गर्न पठाउनु भयो। तर जब ती स्वर्ग दूतले यरूशलेमलाई ध्वंशत गर्न शुरू गरे परमप्रभुले त्यो देख्नु भयो अनि उहाँलाई दुःख लाग्यो यसर्थ परमप्रभुले यरूशलेमलाई नाश नपार्ने निश्चय गर्नुभयो। परमप्रभुले स्वर्गदूतलाई जो नाश गर्दै थिए, भन्नुभयो, “रोक! यति नै पर्याप्त छ।” परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूत यबूसी ओर्नानको खलामा उभिएका थिए। 16 दाऊदले माथितिर हेरे अनि परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतलाई आकाशमा देखे। स्वर्गदूतले तिनको तरवार यरूशलेम शहर माथि समातिरहेका थिए। तब दाऊद अनि बूढा-प्रधानहरूले आफ्ना शिरलाई भूईँ छुनेगरि झुकाएर प्रणाम गरे। दाऊद अनि बूढा-प्रधानहरूले आफ्ना दुःख प्रकट गर्नका निम्ति विशेष वस्त्र पहिरेका थिए। 17 दाऊदले परमेश्वरलाई भने, “म त्यही एक हुँ जसले पाप गर्यो। मानिसहरूको गन्ती गर्नका निम्ति मैले नै आदेश गरेको थिएँ। म अन्जानमा थिएँ। इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले केही भूल गरेका थिएनन्। परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, मलाई र मेरो परिवारलाई दण्ड दिनुहोस्। तर यो भयानक रोगहरूलाई रोक्नुहोस् जसले तपाईंका मानिसहरूलाई मारिरहेछ।” 18 तब परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूतले गादलाई भने, “दाऊदलाई परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्नका निम्ति एक वेदी निर्माण गर्नु भन। दाऊदले त्यो बेदी यबूसीका ओर्नानको खलाको नजिक निर्माण गर्नुपर्छ।” 19 गादले ती कुराहरू दाऊदलाई भने अनि दाऊद ओर्नानको खलातिर गए। 20 ओर्नान गहुँ कुट्दै थिए। ओर्नान फर्के अनि स्वर्गदूतलाई देखे। ओर्नानका चारजना छोराहरू लुक्नलाई कुदे। 21 दाऊद ओर्नान डाँडा तिर उकालो लागे। ओर्नानले तिनलाई देखे र खला छाडे। तिनी दाऊद भए तिर गए अनि तिनको सामुन्ने भूईँ छुनेगरी शिर झुकाई प्रणाम गरे। 22 दाऊदले ओर्नानलाई भने, “तिम्रो खला मलाई बेच। म तिमीलाई पूरा दाम दिनेछु। तब म यो जग्गालाई परमप्रभुको अराधना गर्नको निम्ति बेदी निर्माण गर्न प्रयोग गर्ने छु। तब यी भयानक रोगहरू बन्द हुनेछन्।” 23 ओर्नानले दाऊदलाई भने, “यो खला लिनुहोस्। तपाईं मेरो स्वामी, महाराजा हुनुहुन्छ। तपाईंलाई जे इच्छ लाग्छ त्यही गर्नु होस्। तपाईलाई होम बलिहरूका निम्ति गाई-गोरूहरू पनि दिनेछु। म तपाईलाई खलाको तखताहरू दाउराको रूपमा दिनेछु। म अन्न बलि चढाउनको निम्ति गहुँ र यी सबै सामानहरू तपाईलाई दिनेछु।” 24 तर राजा दाऊदले ओर्नानलाई उत्तर दिए, “होइन, म तिमीलाई पूरा दाम दिन्छु। परमप्रभुलाई अर्पण गर्नका निम्ति म तिम्रो केही चीज लिँदिन। म त्यो भेट अर्पण गर्दिनँ जसको कुनै मूल्य दिनु पर्दैन।” 25 यसर्थ दाऊदले ओर्नानलाई त्यो स्थानको निम्ति 600 शेकेल जति सुन दिए। 26 दाऊदले त्यहाँ परमप्रभुको आराधना गर्नका निम्ति एउटा बेदी निर्माण गरे। दाऊदलले होमबलि र मेलबलि चढाए। दाऊदले परमप्रभुसित प्रार्थना गरे। परमप्रभुले स्वर्गबाट आगो पठाएर दाऊदलाई उत्तर दिनुभयो। त्यो आगो तल होमबलिको बेदीमा झर्यो। 27 तब परमप्रभुले स्वर्गदूतलाई तिनको तरवार म्यानमा हाल्नु भनी आज्ञा दिनुभयो। 28 दाऊदले देखे कि परमप्रभुले ओर्नानको खलामा तिनलाई उत्तर दिनुभयो। यसर्थ दाऊदले परमप्रभुको निम्ति बलि चढाए। 29 (पवित्र पाल अनि होमबलिको वेदी गिबोन शहरको उच्च स्थानमा थियो। मोशाले त्यो पवित्र पाल निर्माण गरेका थिए जब इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मरुभूमिमा थिए। 30 दाऊद परमेश्वरसित कुरा-कानी गर्न पवित्र पालमा जान सकेनन् किनभने तिनी भयभीत थिए। दाऊद परमप्रभुका स्वर्गदूत अनि तिनको तरवारसित भयभीत थिए।)
