Joshua 10
1 त्यसबेला अदोनिसेदेक यरूशलेमका राजा थिए। ती राजाले सुने कि यहोशूले ऐ शहरलाई परास्त गरे अनि पूर्णरूपले त्यसलाई नष्ट गरिदिए। ती राजाले थाहा पाए कि यहोशूले यरीहो अनि त्यसका राजालाई पनि त्यसै गरेका थिए। ती राजाले यो पनि थाहा पाए कि गिबोनका मानिसहरूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसित शान्ति सन्धि गरेका थिए। अनि ती मानिसहरू यरूशलेमको अत्यन्त नजिकमा बस्थे।
2 यसर्थ अदोनिसेदेक अनि तिनका मानिसहरू अत्यन्त डराएका थिए। गिबोन ऐ शहर जस्तो सानो शहर थिएन। गिबोन अति विशाल शहर थियो। यो एउटा राजकीय शहर जस्तै ठूलो थियो। अनि त्यस शहरका सबै मानिसहरू असल लडाकूहरू थिए। यसकारण राजा भयभीत भए।
3 अदोनि सेदेक, यरूशलेमका राजाले हेब्रोनका राजा होहाम, यर्मूतका राजा पिराम, लाकीशका राजा यापी र एग्लोनको राजा दबीरकहाँ समाचारवाहक पठाए,
4 “मेरो साथमा आउनु होस्, अनि मलाई गिबोनमाथि आक्रमण गर्न सहयोग दिनु होस्। गिबोनले यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसित शान्ति-सम्झौता गरेकोछ।”
5 यसकारण यी पाँच राजाहरूले तिनीहरूका सेनाहरू जम्मा गरे। (पाँच राजाहरू यरूशलेमका राजा, हेब्रोनका राजा, यर्मूतका राजा, लाकीशका राजा अनि एग्लोनका राजा थिए।) तिनीहरू आफ्ना सैनिकहरू लिएर गिबोनमा गए, शहरलाई घेरा हाले अनि लडाईं लडे।
6 गिबोन शहरका बासिन्दाहरूले गिलगालको छाउनीमा यहोशूकहाँ एकजना समाचारवाहक पठाए। तिनले ल्याएको समाचार यस्तो थियो, “हामी तपाईंहरूका दाशहरूलाई नत्याग्नुहोस् चाँडै आउनुहोस् र हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस्। पहाडी देशका सबै एमोरी राजाहरूले तिनीहरूका सेनाहरूलाई हाम्रो विरूद्ध लड्न ल्याएका छन्।”
7 यसर्थ यहोशू आफ्ना सम्पूर्ण सेनाहरू सहित गिलगालबाट हिंडे। यहोशूका सर्वोत्तम योद्धाहरू तिनीसित थिए।
8 परमप्रभुले यहोशूलाई भन्नुभयो, “ती सेनाहरू देखि भयभीत नहोऊ। म तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरूलाई हराउने शक्ति दिनेछु। ती सैनिकहरूमा कोही पनि तेरो सामाना गर्ने योग्यको छैन।”
9 यहोशू अनि तिनका सेना रात भरि गिबोन तर्फ हिंडे। शत्रुहरूले यहोशू आउँदैछन् भनेर थाहा पाएनन्। यसर्थ यो एक आश्चर्यपूर्ण कुरा भयो जब तिनले तिनीहरू माथि आक्रमण गरे।
10 परमप्रभुले ती सेनाहरूलाई अन्योलमा पारिदिनु भयो जब इस्राएलले आक्रमण गरे। यसरी इस्राएलीहरुले तिनीहरूलाई परास्त गरे र महान विजय प्राप्त गरे। इस्राएलका सेनाले शत्रुलाई गिबोन देखि बेथारोनको उकालो बाटो सम्म खेदे। इस्राएलका सेनाले आजेका अनि मक्केदा सम्मका मानिसहरूलाई मारे।
11 जब तिनीहरूले शत्रुहरूलाई ओह्रालो बाटोमा बेथारोन देखि आजेकासम्म शत्रुहरूलाई खेद्दै थिए, परमप्रभुले आकाशबाट ठूला-ठूला असिना खसाउनु भयो। यी ठूला-ठूला असिनाहरूद्वारा अनेक शत्रुहरू मारिए। इस्राएली सैनिकहरूका तरवारले भन्दा असिनाद्वारा धेरै मानिसहरूको मृत्यु भयो।
12 त्यसदिन परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीले एमोरी मानिसहरूलाई परास्त गर्न दिनुभयो। अनि त्यसदिन यहोशू इस्राएलका समस्त मानिसहरूको सामुन्ने उभिए र परमप्रभुलाई भनेः“हे सूर्य, गिबोन माथि स्थिर बस्। चन्द्रमा, अय्ययालोन-बेंसीमाथि स्थिर बस्।”
13 यसर्थ सूर्य स्थिर रह्यो अनि मानिसहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई परास्त नगरेसम्म रोकियो। यो कुरोको उल्लेख याशारको पुस्तकमा लेखिएको छ। सूर्य आकाशको माझमा रोकियो। यो एक दिन पूरा अचल रह्यो।
14 यस्तो पहिला कहिले पनि भएको थिएन। अनि यस्तो फेरि कहिले हुनेछैन। यो त्यो दिन थियो जुनदिन परमप्रभुले मानिसको कुरा सुन्नु भयो। परमप्रभु वास्तवमा इस्राएलीहरूका निम्ति लडिरहनु भएको थियो।
15 यसपछि, यहोशू अनि तिनका सेना गिलगालको छाउनीम फर्के।
16 तर युद्ध भइरहेको समयमा ती पाँचजना राजाहरू भागेर गए। तिनीहरू मक्केदा नजिकको एक गुफामा लुके।
17 तर तिनीहरूलाई त्यो गुफामा लुकि रहेको कसैले देखे। यहोशूले यस विषयमा थाहा पाए।
18 यहोशूले भने, “गुफा भित्र पस्ने ढोकालाई ठूला चट्टानहरूले बन्द गरिदेऊ। केही मानिसहरूलाई त्यहाँ रखवाली गर्न राखि देऊ।
19 तर तिमीहरू स्वयं त्यहाँ नबस। शत्रुलाई खेदन जारिराख। तिनीहरूलाई लगातार पछिबाट आक्रमण गर। शत्रुलाई तिनीहरूका शहरमा फर्केर जान नदेऊ। परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरले तिमीहरूलाई तिनीहरू माथि विजय प्रदान गराउँनु भएको छ।”
20 यसरी यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका सेनाले शत्रुहरूलाई मारे। तर केही शत्रुहरू तिनीहरूको शहरमा, जस्का वरिपरि उच्च पर्खालहरू थिए, जान समर्थ भए अनि लुके, ती मानिसहरू मारिएनन्।
21 युद्ध पछि यहोशूका मानिसहरू मक्केदामा तिनी कहाँ फर्की आए। त्यसदेशमा इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको विरूद्ध साहसी मानिस कोही पनि थिएनन्।
22 यहोशूले भने, “गुफाको द्वारामा बन्द गरेका ढुङ्गाहरू हटाऊ। ती पाँचजना राजाहरूलाई मकहाँ ल्याऊ।”
23 यसर्थ यहोशूका मानिसहरूले ती पाँचजना राजाहरूलाई गुफा बाहिर ल्याए। तिनीहरू यरूशलेम, हेब्रोन, यर्मूत, लाकीश अनि एग्लोनका राजाहरू थिए।
24 तिनीहरूले ती पाँचजना राजाहरूलाई यहोशू कहाँ ल्याए। यहोशूले उसका सबै मानिसहरूलाई भने, “यहाँ आऊ, तिमीहरूका खुट्टा यी राजाहरूका धिच्रोमा राख।” यसर्थ यहोशूका सैनिक अधिकारीहरू नजिकमा आए। तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पाउ ती राजाहरूको घिच्रोमा राखे।
25 तब यहोशूले आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई भने, “बलवान अनि साहसी बन। भयभीत नहौं। म तिमीहरूलाई देखाउनेछु जो परमप्रभुले ती शत्रुहरू प्रति गर्नुहुनेछ जोसित तिमीहरू भविष्यमा लड्नेछौ।”
26 त्यसपछि यहोशूले ती पाँच राजाहरूलाई मारे। तिनीहरूको शरीरलाई तिनले पाँचवटा रूखमा झुण्ड्याइ दिए। यहोशूले साँझ नभएसम्म तिनीहरूलाई रूखमै झुण्डियाएर राखे।
27 सूर्यास्तको समयमा यहोशूले उसका मानिसहरूलाई रूखहरूबाट मृत शरीरहरू तल झार्ने आदेश दिए। तिनीहरूले मृत शरीरहरू त्यही गुफामा फ्याँकि दिए जहाँ स्वंय राजाहरू लुकेका थिए अनि गुफालाई ठूला ढुङ्गाहरूले छोपेका थिए। ती ढुङ्गाहरू आजसम्म त्यहीं छन्।
28 त्यसदिन यहोशूले मक्केदालाई परास्त गरे। यहोशूले त्यस शहरका राजा र प्रजा सबैलाई मारि दिए। त्यहाँ मानिसहरू कोही जीवित छाडिएन। यहोशूले यरीहोका राजा प्रति जे गरेका थिए त्यस्तै मक्कैदाका राजा प्रति गरे।
29 त्यसपछि यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले मक्केदाबाट यात्रा गरे। तिनीहरू लिब्ना गए अनि त्यस शहर माथि आक्रमण गरे।
30 परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई शहर अनि त्यसका राजालाई पराजित गराइदिनु भयो। इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यस शहरका प्रत्येक मानिसहरूलाई मारे। एउटा मानिस पनि जीउँदो रहेनन्। अनि यरीहोका राजालाई गरे जस्तै यहोशूले त्यस राजालाई पनि गरे।
31 त्यसपछि यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले लिब्ना छाडे अनि लाकीश तिर गए। यहोशू अनि तिनका सेनाले त्यो शहरको चारैतिर छाउनी बसाए अनि त्यस माथि आक्रमण गरे।
32 लाकीश शहर परास्त गर्न परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई सहयोग गर्नु भयो। तिनीहरूले त्यस शहरलाई दोस्रो दिनमा परास्त गरे। इस्राएलीहरूले त्यस शहरका प्रत्येक मानिसहरूलाई मारिदिए जसरी तिनीहरूले लिब्नामा मारेका थिए।
33 गेजेरका राजा होराम लाकीशलाई सहायता गर्नु आए, तर यहोशूले तिनी र तिनका सेनालाई पनि परास्त गरे। तिनीहरू मध्ये एक जनालाई पनि जीवित छाडिएन।
34 तब यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका समस्त सेनाहरू लाकीश देखि एग्लोनतर्फ यात्रा गरे। तिनीहरूले एग्लोनको चारैतिर छाउनी बसाए अनि त्यस माथि आक्रमण गरे।
35 त्यसदिन तिनीहरूले शहरमा अधिकार गरे अनि शहरका सबै मानिसहरूलाई मारिदिए। यो त्यस्तै कुरा थियो जो तिनीहरूले लाकीश प्रति गरेका थिए।
36 त्यसपछि यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले एग्लोन देखि हेब्रोनको यात्रामा गए। तब तिनीहरूले हेब्रोन माथि आक्रमण गरे।
37 तिनीहरूले हेब्रोन नजिकका सबै स-साना शहरहरू कब्जा गरे। इस्राएलीहरूले त्यस शहरका राजा अनि सबै मानिसहरूलाई मारिदिए। एकजना मानिसलाई पनि जीवित राखेनन्। यो त्यस्तै भयो जस्तो तिनीहरूले एग्लोन प्रति गरेका थिए। तिनीहरूले शहरलाई ध्वंश पारे त्यहाँ जो थिए सबै मारिए।
38 तब यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू दबीरतिर फर्केर गए र त्यस शहरलाई आक्रमण गरे।
39 तिनीहरूले त्यो शहर, त्यसका राजा अनि दबीर नजिकका सबै ससाना शहरहरू अधीनमा लिए। तिनीहरूले त्यस शहरमा भएका हरेक मानिसलाई मारे। कसैलाई पनि जीवित छाडिएन। इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले दबीर अनि त्यसका राजालाई त्यसै गरे जस्तो तिनीहरूले हेब्रोन अनि त्यहाँका राजालाई गरेका थिए। यो त्यस्तै कुरा थियो जस्तो तिनीहरूले लिब्ना अनि त्यसका राजाप्रति गरेका थिए।
40 यसरी यहोशूले पहाडी देश, नेगेब, पश्चिमी तराई, अनि पूर्वी तराईका शहरका सबै राजाहरूलाई परास्त गरे। परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले यहोशूलाई सबै मानिसहरूलाई मारिदिनु भन्नु भएको थियो। यसर्थ यहोशूले ती स्थानहरूमा कसैलाई पनि जीवित छाडेनन्।
41 यहोशूले कादेशबर्ने देखि गाजा सम्मका समस्त शहरहरू अधिकारमा ल्याए। तिनले गोशेन देखि (मिश्रदेशमा) गिबोन सम्मका सबै शहरहरू कब्जा गरे।
42 यहोशूले ती सबै शहरहरू अनि तिनीहरूका राजाहरूलाई एकै चोटि अधीनमा लिए। यहोशूले यसो गरे किनभने, परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्वरले इस्राएलका निम्ति युद्ध गरिरहनु भएको थियो।
43 त्यसपछि यहोशू अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू गिलगालमा आफ्ना छाउनीमा फर्किए।
1 Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.
15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
19 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.
20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.
28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
30 And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
35 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded.
41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
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.
