लूका 13
1 उस समय कुछ लोग आ पहुंचे, और उस से उन गलीलियों की चर्चा करने लगे, जिन का लोहू पीलातुस ने उन ही के बलिदानों के साथ मिलाया था।
2 यह सुन उस ने उन से उत्तर में यह कहा, क्या तुम समझते हो, कि ये गलीली, और सब गलीलियों से पापी थे कि उन पर ऐसी विपत्ति पड़ी?
3 मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि नहीं; परन्तु यदि तुम मन न फिराओगे तो तुम सब भी इसी रीति से नाश होगे।
4 या क्या तुम समझते हो, कि वे अठारह जन जिन पर शीलोह का गुम्मट गिरा, और वे दब कर मर गए: यरूशलेम के और सब रहने वालों से अधिक अपराधी थे?
5 मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि नहीं; परन्तु यदि तुम मन न फिराओगे तो तुम भी सब इसी रीति से नाश होगे।
6 फिर उस ने यह दृष्टान्त भी कहा, कि किसी की अंगूर की बारी में एक अंजीर का पेड़ लगा हुआ था: वह उस में फल ढूंढ़ने आया, परन्तु न पाया।
7 तब उस ने बारी के रखवाले से कहा, देख तीन वर्ष से मैं इस अंजीर के पेड़ में फल ढूंढ़ने आता हूं, परन्तु नहीं पाता, इसे काट डाल कि यह भूमि को भी क्यों रोके रहे।
8 उस ने उस को उत्तर दिया, कि हे स्वामी, इसे इस वर्ष तो और रहने दे; कि मैं इस के चारों ओर खोदकर खाद डालूं।
9 सो आगे को फले तो भला, नहीं तो उसे काट डालना।
10 सब्त के दिन वह एक आराधनालय में उपदेश कर रहा था॥
11 और देखो, एक स्त्री थी, जिसे अठारह वर्ष से एक र्दुबल करने वाली दुष्टात्मा लगी थी, और वह कुबड़ी हो गई थी, और किसी रीति से सीधी नहीं हो सकती थी।
12 यीशु ने उसे देखकर बुलाया, और कहा हे नारी, तू अपनी र्दुबलता से छूट गई।
13 तब उस ने उस पर हाथ रखे, और वह तुरन्त सीधी हो गई, और परमेश्वर की बड़ाई करने लगी।
14 इसलिये कि यीशु ने सब्त के दिन उसे अच्छा किया था, आराधनालय का सरदार रिसयाकर लोगों से कहने लगा, छ: दिन हैं, जिन में काम करना चाहिए, सो उन ही दिनों में आकर चंगे होओ; परन्तु सब्त के दिन में नहीं।
15 यह सुन कर प्रभु ने उत्तर देकर कहा; हे कपटियों, क्या सब्त के दिन तुम में से हर एक अपने बैल या गदहे को थान से खोलकर पानी पिलाने नहीं ले जाता?
16 और क्या उचित न था, कि यह स्त्री जो इब्राहीम की बेटी है जिसे शैतान ने अठारह वर्ष से बान्ध रखा था, सब्त के दिन इस बन्धन से छुड़ाई जाती?
17 जब उस ने ये बातें कहीं, तो उसके सब विरोधी लज्ज़ित हो गए, और सारी भीड़ उन महिमा के कामों से जो वह करता था, आनन्दित हुई॥
18 फिर उस ने कहा, परमेश्वर का राज्य किस के समान है और मैं उस की उपमा किस से दूं?
19 वह राई के एक दाने के समान है, जिसे किसी मनुष्य ने लेकर अपनी बारी में बोया: और वह बढ़कर पेड़ हो गया; और आकाश के पक्षियों ने उस की डालियों पर बसेरा किया।
20 उस ने फिर कहा; मैं परमेश्वर के राज्य कि उपमा किस से दूं?
21 वह खमीर के समान है, जिस को किसी स्त्री ने लेकर तीन पसेरी आटे में मिलाया, और होते होते सब आटा खमीर हो गया॥
22 वह नगर नगर, और गांव गांव होकर उपदेश करता हुआ यरूशलेम की ओर जा रहा था।
23 और किसी ने उस से पूछा; हे प्रभु, क्या उद्धार पाने वाले थोड़े हैं?
24 उस ने उन से कहा; सकेत द्वार से प्रवेश करने का यत्न करो, क्योंकि मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि बहुतेरे प्रवेश करना चाहेंगे, और न कर सकेंगे।
25 जब घर का स्वामी उठकर द्वार बन्द कर चुका हो, और तुम बाहर खड़े हुए द्वार खटखटाकर कहने लगो, हे प्रभु, हमारे लिये खोल दे, और वह उत्तर दे कि मैं तुम्हें नहीं जानता, तुम कहां के हो?
26 तब तुम कहने लगोगे, कि हम ने तेरे साम्हने खाया पीया और तू ने हमारे बजारों में उपदेश किया।
27 परन्तु वह कहेगा, मैं तुम से कहता हूं, मैं नहीं जानता तुम कहां से हो, हे कुकर्म करनेवालो, तुम सब मुझ से दुर हो।
28 वहां रोना और दांत पीसना होगा: जब तुम इब्राहीम और इसहाक और याकूब और सब भविष्यद्वक्ताओं को परमेश्वर के राज्य में बैठे, और अपने आप को बाहर निकाले हुए देखोगे।
29 और पूर्व और पच्छिम; उत्तर और दक्खिन से लोग आकर परमेश्वर के राज्य के भोज में भागी होंगे।
30 और देखो, कितने पिछले हैं वे प्रथम होंगे, और कितने जो प्रथम हैं, वे पिछले होंगे॥
31 उसी घड़ी कितने फरीसियों ने आकर उस से कहा, यहां से निकलकर चला जा; क्योंकि हेरोदेस तुझे मार डालना चाहता है।
32 उस ने उन से कहा; जाकर उस लोमड़ी से कह दो, कि देख मैं आज और कल दुष्टात्माओं को निकालता और बिमारों को चंगा करता हूं और तीसरे दिन पूरा करूंगा।
33 तौभी मुझे आज और कल और परसों चलना अवश्य है, क्योंकि हो नही सकता कि कोई भविष्यद्वक्ता यरूशलेम के बाहर मारा जाए।
34 हे यरूशलेम ! हे यरूशलेम ! तू जो भविष्यद्वक्ताओं को मार डालती है, और जो तेरे पास भेजे गए उन्हें पत्थरवाह करती है; कितनी बार मैं ने यह चाहा, कि जैसे मुर्गी अपने बच्चों को अपने पंखो के नीचे इकट्ठे करती है, वैसे ही मैं भी तेरे बालकों को इकट्ठे करूं, पर तुम ने यह न चाहा।
35 देखो, तुम्हारा घर तुम्हारे लिये उजाड़ छोड़ा जाता है, और मैं तुम से कहता हूं; जब तक तुम न कहोगे, कि धन्य है वह, जो प्रभु के नाम से आता है, तब तक तुम मुझे फिर कभी न देखोगे॥
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 19 in Tamil and English
1 ଯୀଶୁ ଯିରୀହାେ ନଗର ଦଇେ ଯାଉଥିଲେ।
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 ଯୀରୀହୋ ରେ ଜଖିୟ ବୋଲି ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ଥିଲେ। ସେ ଜଣେ ପ୍ରଧାନ କରଆଦାୟକାରୀ ଥିଲେ ଓ ସେ ବହୁତ ଧନୀ ଥିଲେ।
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ। ଆହୁରି ମଧ୍ଯ ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ। ଜଖିୟ ଏତେ ବାଙ୍ଗରା ଥିଲେ ଯେ, ଲୋକଙ୍କ ଭିତ ରେ ଥାଇ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ପାରିବା ସମ୍ଭବ ନଥିଲା।
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 ତେଣୁ ଯେଉଁବାଟେ ଯୀଶୁ ଆସିବେ ବୋଲି ସେ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ, ସଭେଳି ଗୋଟିଏ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ସେ ଦୌଡିଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ପାରିବା ପାଇଁ ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଡିମ୍ବିରି ଗଛ ରେ ଚଢିଗଲେ।
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ସେ ଉପରକୁ ଚାହିଁଲେ, ସେ ଜଖିୟଙ୍କୁ ଗଛ ଉପରେ ଦେଖିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଜଖିୟ! ଶୀଘ୍ର ତଳକୁ ଆସ, ମୁଁ ଆଜି ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଘ ରେ ରହିବି।
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 ତା'ପରେ ଜଖିୟ ଖୁବ୍ ଶୀଘ୍ର ତଳକୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସିଲେ। ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଖୁସି ରେ ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ନିଜ ଘ ରେ ସ୍ବାଗତ କଲେ।
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 ସମସ୍ତେ ଏକଥା ଦେଖିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଅଭିଯୋଗ କରିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ, ଦେଖ, କେଉଁ ଭଳି ଲୋକ ସହିତ ଯୀଶୁ ରହୁଛନ୍ତି। ଜଖିୟ ଗୋଟିଏ ପାପୀ।
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 ଜଖିୟ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ଭଲ କାମ କରିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଛି। ମୁଁ ମାେ ଧନର ଅଧା ଗରିବଙ୍କୁ ବାଣ୍ଟି ଦବେି। ମୁଁ ଯଦି କାହାରିକୁ ଠକିଥାଏ, ତବେେ ସହେି ଲୋକକୁ ଚାରିଗୁଣ ଧନ ଫରୋଇ ଦବେି।
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ଏ ଲୋକଟି ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ଜଣେ ଭଲ ମଣିଷ। ସେ ଅବ୍ରହାମଙ୍କର ଉପୟୁକ୍ତ ସନ୍ତାନ। ତେଣୁ ଆଜି ସେ ନିଜ ପାପରୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର ପାଇଗଲେ।
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର ହଜି ଯାଇଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଖାଜେିବାକୁ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି।
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 ଯୀଶୁ ୟିରୂଶାଲମର ପାଖାପାଖି ଆସିଗଲେ। କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଭବିଲେ ଯେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯ ଶୀଘ୍ର ଆସିୟିବ।
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 ଲୋକମାନେ ଏହି କଥା ଭାବୁଥିବା ଯୀଶୁ ଜାଣି ପାରିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତଟି କହିଲେ: ଜଣେ ଅତି ମାନ୍ଯଗଣ୍ଯ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ରାଜା ହବୋ ପାଇଁ କୌଣସି ଏକ ଦ୍ବର ରାଜ୍ଯକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହେଉଥିଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଫରେିଆସି ନିଜ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଶାସନ କରିବାକୁ ଯୋଜନା କଲେ।
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 ସେ ନିଜର ଦଶ ଜଣ ଚାକରଙ୍କୁ ଡାକିଲେ। ସେ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଚାକରଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗୋଟିଏ ଟଙ୍କା ଥଳି ଦେଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, 'ମୁଁ ଫରେିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଏହି ଟଙ୍କା ରେ ବ୍ଯବସାୟ କର।'
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 ସହେି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିଙ୍କୁ ସେ ରାଜ୍ଯର ନାଗରିକମାନେ ଘୃଣା କରୁଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପଛ ରେ ଦଳେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସଠାେକୁ ପଠାଇଲେ। ସଠାେକୁ ଯାଇ ଏହି ଦଳର ଲୋକମାନେ କହିଲେ, 'ଆମ୍ଭେ ଚାହୁଁନା ଯେ, ସହେି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ରାଜା ହୁଅନ୍ତୁ।'
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 ତଥାପି ସେ ରାଜା ହାଇଗେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଘରକୁ ଫରେି ଆସିଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ କହିଲେ, ' ଯେଉଁ ଚାକରମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୁଁ ମାରେଟଙ୍କା ଦଇେଥିଲି ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଡାକ, ମୁଁ ଜାଣିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଛି ଯେ, ସହେି ଟଙ୍କା ରେ ସମାନେେ ଆଉ କେତେ ଅଧିକ ଲାଭ କରିଛନ୍ତି।'
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 ପ୍ରଥମେ ଚାକର ଜଣକ ଆସି କହିଲା, 'ଆଜ୍ଞା, ଆପଣ ମାେତେ ଦଇେଥିବା ଟଙ୍କା ଥଳିଟିକୁ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରି ମୁଁ ଦଶ ଥଳି ଅଧିକ ଟଙ୍କା ଅର୍ଜନ କରିଛି।'
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 ରାଜା ଚାକରମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ବହୁତ ଭଲ କଥା। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜଣେ ଭଲ ଚାକର। ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ େଛାଟ େଛାଟ ବିଷୟ ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରାଯାଇ ପାରିବ ବୋଲି ମୁଁ ଜାଣୁଛି। ତେଣୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମାରେ ଦଶଟି ନଗର ଶାସନକରିବାକୁ ଦବେି।'
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 ଦ୍ବିତୀୟ ଚାକରଟି ଆସିଲା ଓ କହିଲା, 'ଆଜ୍ଞା, ଆପଣ ଦଇେଥିବା ଟଙ୍କାଥଳିକୁ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରି ପାଞ୍ଚଥଳି ଟଙ୍କା ଅର୍ଜ୍ବନ କରିଛି।'
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 ରାଜା ସହେି ଚାକରଟିକୁ କହିଲେ, 'ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପାଞ୍ଚଟି ନଗର ଉପରେ ଶାସନ କରିବ।'
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 ତା'ପରେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଚାକରଟି ଭିତରକୁ ଆସିଲା। ସେ ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, 'ଆଜ୍ଞା, ଏହି ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଟଙ୍କା ଥଳି। ମୁଁ ଖଣ୍ଡେ କନା ରେ ଏହାକୁ ଗୁଡାଇ ରଖିଥିଲି।
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 ଆପଣ ଜଣେ କଠାେର ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ହାଇେଥିବାରୁ ମୁଁ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଭୟ କରିଥିଲି। ଏପରିକି ଆପଣ ନିଜେ ଅର୍ଜ୍ବନ କରି ନଥିବା ଟଙ୍କା ନଇେଥା'ନ୍ତି ଓ ନିଜେ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରି ନଥିବା ଖାଦ୍ୟଶସ୍ଯ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରିଥା'ନ୍ତି।'
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 ତା'ପରେ ରାଜା ସହେି ଚାକରକୁ କହିଲେ, 'ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜଣେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଚାକର। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିଥିବା ଭାଷା ରେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭରି ବିଚାର କରିବି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହିଛ ଯେ, ମୁଁ ଜଣେ କଠାେର ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି। ପୁଣି କହିଛ ଯେ ମୁଁ ଅର୍ଜ୍ବନ ନକରି ଟଙ୍କା ନିଏ ଓ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ନକରି ମଧ୍ଯ ଖାଦ୍ୟଶସ୍ଯ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରେ।'
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
23 ଯଦି ଏକଥା ସତ୍ଯ, ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ଟଙ୍କା ବ୍ଯାଙ୍କ ରେ ଜମା ରଖିପାରିଥା'ନ୍ତତା' ହେଲେ ମୁଁ ଫରେି ଆସିଲା ବଳକେୁ ମାେ ଟଙ୍କା ରେ କିଛି ସୁଧ ଅର୍ଜ୍ଜନ କରାଯାଇ ପାରିଥାଆନ୍ତା ା
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 ସଠାେରେ ରହି ଏସବୁ ଦେଖୁଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ରାଜା କହିଲେ, 'ଏ ଚାକର ପାଖରୁ ଟଙ୍କା ଥଳିଟି ନଇେ ଯାଇ ଦଶ ଥଳି ଟଙ୍କା ଅର୍ଜନ କରିଥିବା ଚାକରକୁ ଦଇଦେିଅ।
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 ଲୋକମାନେ ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା, ସେ ଚାକରଟି ପାଖ ରେ ତ ଆଗରୁ ଦଶଥଳି ଟଙ୍କା ଅଛି।'
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 ରାଜା କହିଲେ, 'ଯଦି ଜଣେ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ତା' ପାଖ ରେ ଯାହା ଅଛି ତାହାର ବ୍ଯବହାର କରେ ତବେେ ସେ ଆହୁରି ଅଧିକ ପାଇବ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ତା ପାଖ ରେ ଯେତିକି ଅଛି, ତାହା ବ୍ଯବହାର କରନେି ତା'ଠାରୁ ତାହା ମଧ୍ଯ ଛଡଇେ ନିଆୟିବ।
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମାରେଶତୃମାନେ କାହାଁନ୍ତି? ମୁଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ରାଜା ନହୁଏ ବୋଲି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ କାହାଁନ୍ତି? ମାେ ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏଠାକୁ ଆଣ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ମାେ ଆଖି ଆଗ ରେ ମାରିଦିଅ।'
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 ଯୀଶୁ ଏସବୁ କହିସାରିବା ପରେ ୟିରୂଶାଲମ ଆଡକୁ ଯାତ୍ରା ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ।
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 ଜୀତ ପର୍ବତ ପାଖ ବେଥ୍ଫାଗୀ ଓ ବେଥନିଆ ନଗର ପାଖକୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଆସିଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ନିଜର ଦୁଇ ଜଣ ଶିଷ୍ଯଙ୍କୁ ଏହା କହି ପଠାଇଲେ,
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 ଆଗ ରେ ଯେଉଁ ଗାଁ ଦଖାଯାେଉଛି, ସଠାେକୁ ଯାଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଗାଁ ରେ ପଶିବା ମାତ୍ ରେ ସଠାେରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗଧଛୁଆ ବନ୍ଧା ହାଇେଥିବାର ଦେଖିବ। ସହେି ଗଧ ଉପରେ କହେି କବେେ ହେଲେ ଚଢି ନଥିବେ। ତାକୁ ଖାଲିେ ଦଇେ ମାେ ପାଖକୁ ଆଣିବ।
Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 ଯଦି କଣସି ଲୋକ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପଚା ରେ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଗଧଟିକୁ କାହିଁକି ନଇେ ଯାଉଛ, ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କହିବ ଯେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଏଇଟି ଦରକାର ଅଛି।'
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 ଦୁଇ ଜଣ ଶିଷ୍ଯ ସହେି ଗାଁକୁ ଗଲେ, ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଯଭେଳି କହିଥିଲେ, ଠିକ୍ ସହେି ଅନୁସାରେ ସମାନେେ ଗଧଟିକୁ ପାଇଗଲେ।
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଗଧଟିକୁ ଫିଟାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଗଧଟିର ମାଲିକମାନେ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଗଧଟିକୁ କାହିଁକି ଫିଟାଉଛ?
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ କହିଲେ, ଏହାଠା ରେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଦରକାର ଅଛି।
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 ତା'ପରେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଗଧଟିକୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଗଧ ପିଠି ଉପରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଲୁଗା ପକଇେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଗଧ ଉପରେ ବସାଇଲେ।
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 ଯୀଶୁ ଗଧ ଉପରେ ବସି ୟିରୂଶାଲମ ଆଡକୁ ଯାତ୍ରା କଲେ। ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ରାସ୍ତା ଉପରେ ନିଜ ନିଜ ଲୁଗା ବିଛାଇ ଦେଲେ।
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 ଯୀଶୁ ୟିରୂଶାଲମର ପାଖ ହାଇେ ଆସୁଥିଲେ, ସେ ଜୀତପର୍ବତର ପାଦ ଦେଶ ନିକଟରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ସମୁଦାୟ ଶିଷ୍ଯଦଳ ଖୁସି ଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ବର ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଶଂସା ଗାନ କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯେଉଁ ସବୁ ଶକ୍ତିର କାର୍ୟ୍ଯମାନ ଦେଖୁଥିଲେ, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସ୍ତୁତିଗାନ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ,
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 ସ୍ବାଗତ କରି କହିଲେ:
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 ଜନଗହଳି ରେ କେତେ ଜଣ ରହିଥିବା ଫାରୂଶୀ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଗୁରୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏ ସବୁ କଥା ନ କହିବାକୁ କୁହ।
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଛି, ଏସବୁ କଥା ନିଶ୍ଚୟ କୁହାୟିବ। ଯଦି ମାରେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଏସବୁ କଥା ନକୁହନ୍ତି। ତାହା ହେଲେ ଏ ପଥର ସବୁ ପାଟି କରି ତାହାସବୁ କହିବେ।
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 ଯୀଶୁ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ପାଖ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ନଗରକୁ ଦେଖି ତା'ପାଇଁ କାନ୍ଦି ପକାଇଲେ।
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 ଯୀଶୁ ୟିରୁଶାଲମକୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କିପରି ଶାନ୍ତି ମିଳିପାରିବ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆଜି ଅନ୍ତତଃ ଜାଣି ପାରନ୍ତ! କିନ୍ତୁ ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜାଣି ପାରିବନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ତାାହା ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖରୁ ଗୁପ୍ତ ରଖା ଯାଇଛି।
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 ତୁମ୍ଭ ସକାେଶ ଏପରି ସମୟ ଆସୁଛି। ଯେତବେେଳେ କି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶତୃମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଚାରିପଟେ ଗୋଟିଏ ପାଚରେୀ ତିଆରି କରି ଦବେେ। ତୁମ୍ଭ ଶତୃମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଫରେିଯାଇ ଅବ ରୋଧ କରିବେ।
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ନଷ୍ଟ କରି ଦବେେ। ତୁମ୍ଭ କୋଠଗୁଡିକର ଗୋଟିଏ ହେଲେ ପଥର ଅନ୍ୟ ପଥରଟି ଉପରେ ସମାନେେ ରେଖଇ ଦବେେ ନାହିଁ। ଏସବୁ ଘଟିବ। କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିବା ପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯେତବେେଳେ ଆସିଥିଲେ, ସେ ସମୟଟିକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଚିହ୍ନି ପାରିଲ ନାହିଁ।
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 ଯୀଶୁ ମନ୍ଦିର ଭିତରକୁ ଗଲେ। ସେ ମନ୍ଦିର ପରିସର ଭିତ ରେ କିଣା ବିକା କରୁଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବାହାର କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେଅଛି: 'ମାେ ଗୃହ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନାଗୃହ ହବେ।' କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏହାକୁ ଚୋରମାନଙ୍କ ଆଡ୍ଡାସ୍ଥଳି କରି ଦଇେଛ।'
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 ଯୀଶୁ ପ୍ରତିଦିନ ମନ୍ଦିର ରେ ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଉଥିଲେ। ପ୍ରଧାନ ଯାଜକ, ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ଯିହୂଦୀ ନେତାମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଜୀବନ ରେ ମାରି ଦବୋକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ।
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 କିନ୍ତୁ ସବୁ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ ମନଧ୍ଯାନ ଦଇେ ଶୁଣୁଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ କଥାପ୍ରତି ପ୍ରବଳ ଆଗ୍ରହ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ପ୍ରଧାନ ଯାଜକ, ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ଯିହୂଦୀ ନେତାମାନେ କ'ଣ କରିବେ ବୋଲି କିଛି ସ୍ଥିର କରିପାରୁ ନଥିଲେ।
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
