Matthew 26

1 ଏହିସବୁ କଥା କହି ସାରିବା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ନିଜର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ,

2 ଦୁଇଦିନ ପରେ ନିସ୍ତାରପର୍ବ ହବୋ କଥା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣ। ସହେି ଦିନ କୃଶ ରେ ଚ଼ଢ଼ାଇ ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ମାରି ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ଦଇେ ଦିଆୟିବ।

3 ତା'ପରେ ପ୍ରଧାନ ଯାଜକ ଓ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରାଚ଼ୀନ ନେତାମାନେ କଯାଫା ନାମକ ମହାୟାଜକଙ୍କ ଭବନର ଅଗଣା ରେ ଏକାଠି ହେଲେ।

4 ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ କପଟ ରେ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମାରିଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ଯୋଜନା କଲେ।

5 କିନ୍ତୁ ବୌଠକରେ ସମାନେେ କଥାବର୍ତ୍ତା ହେଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ନିସ୍ତାରପର୍ବ ସମୟରେ ଏସବୁ କରିବା ଉଚ଼ିତ ହବେନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ଲୋକମାନେ ଏଥି ରେ ରାଗିଯାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି ଓ ଦଙ୍ଗାହାଙ୍ଗାମା କରିପାରନ୍ତି।

6 ଯୀଶୁ ବେଥନୀଯା ରେ ଥିଲେ। ସେ କୁଷ୍ଠ ରୋଗୀ ଶିମାନରେ ଘ ରେ ରହିଥିଲେ।

7 ଯୀଶୁ ସଠାେରେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ଆସି ପହଞ୍ଚିଲା। ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ପାତ୍ର ରେ ବହୁ ମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ ମୁଗନ୍ଧିତ ଅତର ଆଣିଥିଲା। ସେ ଅତରତକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମୁଣ୍ତ ଉପରେ ଢ଼ାଳି ଦଲୋ। ସେତବେେଳେ ଯୀଶୁ ଖାଉଥିଲେ।

8 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଏହା ଦେଖି ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ରାଗିଗଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ଏତେ ଅପବ୍ଯୟ କାହିଁକି?

9 ଏ ଅତରତକ ଅନକେ ଟଙ୍କା ରେ ବିକାଯାଇ ସେଥିରୁ ମିଳିବା ଟଙ୍କା ଗରୀବମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ବଣ୍ଟା ଯାଇ ପାରିଥାନ୍ତା।

10 ଯୀଶୁ ତାହା ଜାଣି ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, କାହିଁକି ବୃଥା ରେ ଏହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକକୁ ହଇରାଣ କରୁଛ? ସେ ମାେ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ବହୁତ ଭଲ କାମ କରିଛି।

11 ଗରିବମାନେ ତ ସବୁବେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଅଛନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ସବୁବେଳେ ପାଇବ ନାହିଁ।

12 ଏହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ମାେ ଦହେ ରେ ଅତର ଢ଼ାଳିଛି। ମାରେ ସମାଧି ନିମନ୍ତେ ମାେତେ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସେ ଏହା କରିଛି,

13 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସତ୍ଯ କହୁଛି, ଏ ଜଗତ ରେ ସର୍ବତ୍ର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ସୁସମାଚ଼ାର ଘୋଷଣା କରାୟିବ। ତା ସହିତ ଏ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି କ'ଣ କରିଥିଲା, ସେ ବିଷୟ ମଧ୍ଯ ଘୋଷଣା କରାୟିବ। ଲୋକମାନେ ତାକୁ ମନେ ରଖିବେ।

14 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ବାରଜଣ ଶିଷ୍ଯଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣେ ଯାଇ ପ୍ରଧାନ ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କଥାବାର୍ତ୍ତା କଲା। ସହେି ଶିଷ୍ଯର ନାମ ଈଷ୍କରିଯୋଥ ୟିହୂଦା ଥିଲା।

15 ସେ କହିଲା, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଧ ରଇେ ଦବେି। ଏହା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାେତେ କ'ଣ ଦବେ? ଯାଜକମାନେ ୟିହୂଦାଙ୍କୁ ତିରିଶଟି ରୂପା ଟଙ୍କା ଦେଲେ।

16 ସହେି ସମୟରୁ ୟିହୂଦା ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଧରାଇ ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ସୁଯୋଗର ଅପେକ୍ଷା ରେ ରହିଲା।

17 ଖମୀର ଶୂନ୍ଯ ରୋଟୀ ପର୍ବର ପ୍ରଥମ ଦିନ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ନିସ୍ତାରଭୋଜି ଖାଇବାକୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସବୁକିଛି ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିବୁ। ଆପଣ କେଉଁଠା ରେ ଭୋଜି ଖାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତି?

18 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ନଗର ରେ ଥିବା ମାରଜେଣେ ଚିହ୍ନା ଲୋକ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଅ। ତାକୁ କୁହ 'ଗୁରୁ କହିଛନ୍ତି 'ମନୋନୀତ ସମୟ ଆସି ପାଖଇେ ଗଲାଣି ଓ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଘ ରେ ମାେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ନିସ୍ତାରପର୍ବ ଭୋଜି ଉତ୍ସବ ପାଳନ କରିବି।'

19 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ କହିବା ଅନୁସାରେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ନିସ୍ତାରପର୍ବର ଭୋଜି ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କଲେ।

20 ସନ୍ଧ୍ଯା ବେଳେ ଯୀଶୁ ନିଜର ବିରଜଣଯାକ ଶିଷ୍ଯଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଖାଇବାକୁ ବସିଲେ।

21 ସମାନେେ ଖାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସତ୍ଯ କହୁଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ଥିବା ବାରଜଣଙ୍କ ଭିତରୁ ଜଣେ ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ବିଶ୍ବାସଘାତକତା କରିବ।

22 ଏହାଶୁଣି ସମାନେେ ବହୁତ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହେଲେ। ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଶିଷ୍ଯ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପଚ଼ାରିଲେ, ପ୍ରଭୁ, ନିଶ୍ଚିତଭାବରେ ସେ ଜଣକ ମୁଁ ନୁହେଁ! କୁହନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ କି?

23 ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ମାେ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଗିନା ରେ ତାର ହାତ ବୁଡ଼ାଇଛି, ସେ ମାେ ସହିତ ବିଶ୍ବାସଘାତକତା କରିବ।

24 ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର ଯିବେ ଓ ମରିଯିବେ। ଏହାହିଁ ହବେ ବୋଲି ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେଅଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ମରିବା ପାଇଁ ଶତୃ ହତେ ରେ ଦଇଦେିବ, ସେ ଲୋକ ଧିକ୍! ସେ ଲୋକ ଜନ୍ମ ନହାଇେଥିଲେ ବରଂ ଭଲ ହାଇେଥାନ୍ତା।

25 ତା'ପରେ ୟିହୂଦା, ୟିଏ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧ ରଇେ ଦବୋକୁ ଯାଉଥିଲା, କହିଲା ଗୁରୁ, ସେ କ'ଣ ମୁଁ?

26 ସମାନେେ ଖାଉଥିବା ବେଳେ, ଯୀଶୁ ରୋଟୀ ନେଲେ। ସହେି ରୋଟୀ ପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଧନ୍ଯବାଦ ଦେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ରୋଟୀ ଛିଣ୍ଡଇେଲେ। ତାହାକୁ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ରୋଟୀ ନିଅ ଓ ଖାଅ। ଏ ରୋଟୀ ମାରେଶରୀର।

27 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗିନା ରେ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ନେଲେ, ଓ ଏଥିପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଧନ୍ଯବାଦ ଦେଲେ। ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏଥିରୁ ପିଅ।

28 ଏ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ମାରେରକ୍ତ। ମାରେ ରକ୍ତ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଠାରୁ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ କରିଥିବା ନୂଆ ଚୁକ୍ତି ଆରମ୍ଭ ହୁଏ। ଅନକେ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ପାପକୁ କ୍ଷମା କରିଦିଆୟିବା ପାଇଁ ଏ ରକ୍ତ ଦିଆ ଯାଉଛି।

29 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏକଥା କହି ରଖୁଛି: ମାରେ ପରମପିତାଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯ ରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏକାଠି ନ ହବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଓ ନୂଆ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସର ଅଂଶୀ ହବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ମୁଁ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପୁଣି ପାନ କରିବି ନାହିଁ। ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଏହାକୁ ପାନ କରିବି।

30 ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ନିସ୍ତାର ପର୍ବର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥାନା ଗୀତ ବୋଲିଲେ ଓ ଜୀତ ପର୍ବତକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲେ।

31 ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ଆଜି ରାତି ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାେ ଉପରୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ହ ରଇେ ବସିବ। ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରମାନଙ୍କ ରେ ଏକଥା ଲୋଖାଅଛି: 'ମୁଁ ମଷେପାଳକଙ୍କୁ ମାରି ଦବେି ଏବଂ ମେଣ୍ଢାମାନେ ଏଣତେଣେେ ପଳଇବେେ।' ୟିଖରୀୟ 13:7

32 କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ପୁଣି ଥରେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁରୁ ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥିତ ହବେି। ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ଗାଲିଲୀକୁ ଚ଼ାଲିୟିବି। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସଠାେକୁ ୟିବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ମୁଁ ସଠାେକୁ ଯାଇଥିବି।

33 ପିତର କହିଲେ, ଅନ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତେ ଶିଷ୍ଯ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଉପରୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ହ ରଇେ ପାରନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ କବେେ ହେଲେ ମାରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ହରାଇବି ନାହିଁ।

34 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସତ୍ଯ କହୁଛି। ଆଜି ରାତି ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହିବ ଯେ ମାେତେ ଚିହ୍ନିନାହଁ। କୁକୁଡ଼ା ଡ଼ାକିବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତିନିଥର ଏହିକଥା କହିବ।

35 ପିତର ଏକଥା ଶୁଣି କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ବରଂ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ସହିତ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ବରଣ କରିବି, କିନ୍ତୁ କବେେ ହେଲେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ଚିହ୍ନିନାହିଁ ବୋଲି କହିବିନାହିଁ। ପୁଣି ଅନ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ସହେି ଏକା କଥା କହିଲେ।

36 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଗେଥ୍ଶିମାନୀ ନାମକ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସଠାେରେ ଯାଇ ମୁଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଥିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏହିଠା ରେ ବସ।

37 ଯୀଶୁ ପିତର ଓ ଜବଦେୀଙ୍କ ଦୁଇ ପୁଅଙ୍କୁ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ନେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଦୁଃଖ ଓ ବ୍ଯାକୁଳତା ଅନୁଭବ କଲେ।

38 ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ମାରହେୃଦୟ ଏତେ ଦୁଃଖ ରେ ଭରି ଯାଇଛି ଯେ, ସତେ ଯେପରି ପ୍ରାଣ ବାହାରି ୟିବା ଉପରେ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାେ ସହିତ ଏଠା ରେ ଚଇେଁ କରି ରୁହ ଓ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କର।

39 ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଖରୁ କିଛି ଦୁରକୁ ଚାଲିକରି ୟିବାପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ତଳେ ଉବୁଡ଼ ହାଇେ ପଡ଼ିଲେ ଓ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କଲେ, ହେ ପରମପିତା! ଯଦି ସମ୍ଭବ ହୁଏ, ତବେେ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣାର ଏହି ପାତ୍ରଟି ମାଠାରୁେ ଦୂର ହାଇଯୋଉ। କିନ୍ତୁ ମାେ ଇଚ୍ଛା ଅନୁସାରେ ନ ହାଇେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଇଚ୍ଛା ଅନୁସାରେ କରନ୍ତୁ।

40 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଫରେିଗଲେ। ସେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶୋଇଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ପିତରଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମାେ ସହିତ ଘଣ୍ଟାଏ ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଜାଗି ରହି ପାରିଲ ନାହିଁ?

41 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜାଗି ରହି ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କର ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପରୀକ୍ଷା ରେ ନପଡ଼! ଯାହା ଠାକ୍ ତାହା କରିବାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଆତ୍ମା ଚାହୁଁଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଦହେ ଦୁର୍ବଳ।

42 ପୁଣି ଥରେ ସେ ଗଲେ ଓ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କଲେ, ହେ ପରମପିତା, ଯଦି ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣାର ଏ ପାତ୍ର ମାେ ଠାରୁ ଦୂର ହାଇେ ପାରିବ ନାହିଁ ଏବଂ ଏହାକୁ ମୁଁ ପାନ କରେ, ତବେେ ମୁଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି ଯେ, ଆପଣ ଯାହା ଇଚ୍ଛା କରିଛନ୍ତି, ତାହା ହିଁ ହେଉ।

43 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଫରେିଆସି ପୁଣି ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶୋଇଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଆଖି ବହୁତ ଭାରି ହାଇେ ଯାଇଥିଲା। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଆଖି ଖାଲିେ ପାରୁ ନଥିଲେ।

44 ଯୀଶୁ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଛାଡ଼ି ପୁଣି ଫରେି ଯାଇ ତୃତୀୟ ଥର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କଲେ। ଏଥର ମଧ୍ଯ ସେ ପୂର୍ବଭଳି ସହେି ଏକା କଥା କହିଲେ।

45 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଫରେିଗଲେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏବେ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଶାଇେଛ ଓ ବିଶ୍ରାମ ନେଉଛ? ଶୁଣ, ସମୟ ଆସି ଗଲାଣି। ଏବେ ପାପୀମାନଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ସମର୍ପି ଦିଆୟିବ।

46 ଉଠ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ୟିବା। ଦେଖ, ମାେତେ ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କ ହାତ ରେ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକଟି ଦଇଦେବେ, ସେ ଏଠାକୁ ଆସୁଛି।

47 ଯୀଶୁ ଏହି କଥା କହୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ ୟିହୂଦା ସଠାେକୁ ଆସିଲା। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ବାରଜଣ ଶିଷ୍ଯଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣେ ଥିଲା। ୟିହୂଦା ଙ୍କ ସହିତ ମଧ୍ଯ ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ଥିଲେ। ୟିହୂଦା ଓ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଖଣ୍ଡା ଓ ଠେଙ୍ଗା ଧରିଥିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପ୍ରଧାନ ଯାଜକ ଓ ପ୍ରାଚୀନମାନେ ପଠାଇଥିଲେ।

48 ୟିହୂଦା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯୀଶୁ କିଏ ବୋଲି ଚିହ୍ନଇେ ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ସଙ୍କତେ ବତଇେ ଦେଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ଯାହାକୁ ଚୁମ୍ବନ କରିବି, ସେ ସହେି ଲୋକ। ତାକୁ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରିବ।

49 ତା'ପରେ ୟିହୂଦା ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ପହଞ୍ଚି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଗୁରୁ, ନମସ୍କାର ତାପରେ ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଚୁମ୍ବନ ଦେଲେ।

50 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ବନ୍ଧୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ କାମ ରେ ଆସିଛ, ତାହା କର!

51 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିଲେ, ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଭିତରୁ ଜଣେ ଶିଷ୍ଯ ତାର ଖଣ୍ଡା ବାହାର କରି ମହାୟାଜକଙ୍କ ଚାକରକୁ ସେଥିଲେ ଆଘାତ କଲା। ଫଳ ରେ ଚାକରର କାନ କଟିଗଲା।

52 ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ଲୋକକୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ଖଣ୍ଡାକୁ ଖୋଳ ଭିତ ରେ ରଖ। ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନେ ଖଣ୍ଡା ବ୍ଯବହାର କରନ୍ତି. ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଖଣ୍ଡା ଦ୍ବାରା ହତ୍ଯା କରା ଯାଇଥାଏ।

53 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଜାଣିନାହଁ ଯେ ମୁଁ ମାରେ ପରମପିତାଙ୍କୁ ମାଗିଲେ ସେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ମାେତେ ବାରଟି ସନୋ ବାହିନୀରୁ ଅଧିକ ୟୋଗଇବେେ।

54 କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ତା' କଲେ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ର କିପରି ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହବେ? ସବୁକଥା ଏହିଭଳି ଭାବରେ ଘଟିବ ବୋଲି ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେ ଅଛି।

55 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେସବୁ ଖଣ୍ଡା ଓ ଠେଙ୍ଗା ନଇେ ମାେତେ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଏପରି ଭାବରେ ଆସିଛ, ସତେ ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ଗୋଟଏ ଅପରାଧୀ। ମୁଁ ସବୁଦିନ ମନ୍ଦିର ପରିସର ରେ ବସି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଉଥିଲି। ସେତବେେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରିଲନାହିଁ।

56 କିନ୍ତୁ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାମାନେ ଯେଉଁଭଳି ଲେଖିଥିଲେ, ସହେିଭଳି ହବୋ ପାଇଁ ଏହି ସବୁକଥା ଘଟିଲା, ତା'ପରେ ସମସ୍ତ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଛାଡି ପଳାଇଗଲେ।

57 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରି ନଇେଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମହାୟାଜକ କଫାଯାଙ୍କ ଘରକୁ ନଇଗେଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ନେତାମାନେ ଏକାଠି ଜମା ହାଇେଥିଲେ।

58 ପିତର ଅଳ୍ପ ଦୂର ରେ ରହି ମହାୟାଜକଙ୍କ ଅଗଣା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପେଛ ପେଛ ଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ପରିଣାମ କଣ ହବେ, ତାହା ଦେଖିବା ପାଇଁ ସେ ଭିତରକୁ ଯାଇ ପ୍ରହରୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ବସି ପଡ଼ିଲେ।

59 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି ମୃତ୍ଯୁଦଣ୍ଡ ଦଇେ ପାରିବେ, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ପ୍ରଧାନଯାଜକ ଓ ସଂପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଯିହୂଦୀମହାସଭା ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ବିହୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ କିଛି ମିଛ ଅଭିଯୋଗ ଖାଜେି ବାହାର କରିବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କଲେ।

60 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଦିଓ ଅନକେ ମିଛ ସାକ୍ଷୀ ଆଗକୁ ଆସି ମିଛ ରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ଯ ଦେଲେ, ତଥାପି ମହାସଭା ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁଦଣ୍ଡ ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରକୃତ କାରଣ ପାଇ ପାରିଲା ନାହିଁ। ଶଷେ ରେ ଦୁଇଜଣ ଲୋକ ଆଗରୁ ବାହାରି ଆସି କହିଲେ,

61 ଏହି ଲୋକ କହିଛନ୍ତି, 'ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମନ୍ଦିର ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିପା ରେ ଓ ପୁଣି ଏହାକୁ ତିନି ଦିନ ମଧିଅରେ ତିଆରି କରି ଦଇପୋ ରେ।'

62 ତା'ପରେ ମହାୟାଜକ ଠିଆ ହେଲେ ଓ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପଚ଼ାରିଲେ, ଏ ଲୋକମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଯାହା ଅଭି ଯୋଗ କଲେ ତାର ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିଛି ଉତ୍ତର ଦବେ କି? ଏ ଲୋକମାନେ କ'ଣ ସତ୍ଯ କହୁଛନ୍ତି?

63 ଯୀଶୁ କିନ୍ତୁ ଚୁପ୍ ରହିଲେ।

64 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ହଁ, ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହି ରଖୁଛି ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ରେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ସହେି ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଡ଼ାହାଣ ପଟେ ବସିଥିବାର ଓ ଆକାଶର ମେଘମାଳା ରେ ଆସୁଥିବାର ଦେଖିବ।

65 ମହାୟାଜକ ଏକଥା ଶୁଣି ବହୁତ ରାଗିଗଲେ ଓ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ନିଜ ପୋଷାକ ଚିରି ପକଇେଲେ ଓ ସେ କହିଲେ, ଏ ଯେଉଁ ସବୁ କଥା କହିଲେ, ତା' ଦ୍ବାରା ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ନିନ୍ଦା ହାଇେଛି। ଆମ୍ଭର ଆଉ କୌଣସି ସାକ୍ଷୀ ଦରକାର ନାହିଁ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ନିନ୍ଦା ଶୁଣିଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତବେେ କ'ଣ ଭାବୁଛ?

66 ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ,

67 ତା'ପରେ ସଠାେରେ ଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମୁହଁ ଉପରେ ଛପେ ପକାଇଲେ, ବିଧା ମାରିଲେ। କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଚାପୁଡ଼ା ମାରିଲେ।

68 ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ! ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯଦି ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ତବେେ କୁହ, ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କିଏ ମାରିଲା?

69 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ପିତର ପ୍ରାଙ୍ଗଣ ମଧିଅରେ ବସିଥିଲେ। ଜଣେ ଦାସୀ ପିତରଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲା। ସେ କହିଲା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଗାଲିଲୀର ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିଲ।

70 କିନ୍ତୁ ପିତର ଏକଥା ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ଅସ୍ବୀକାର କଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କେଉଁ ବିଷୟ ରେ କହୁଛ ତାହା ମୁଁ ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ।

71 ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଅଗଣାରୁ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲେ। ଫାଟକ ପାଖ ରେ ଆଉଜଣେ ଦାସୀ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ପକାଇ ସଠାେରେ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ଏ ଲୋକ ନାଜରିତୀୟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥିଲା।

72 ପୁଣି ଥରେ ପିତର ଅସ୍ବୀକାର କହି ଦେଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନାମ ରେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞା କରି କହୁଛି ଯେ ମୁଁ ସେ ଲୋକକୁ ଜାଣନୋହିଁ।

73 କିଛି ସମୟ ପରେ ସଠାେରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ ପିତରଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣେ। ଏକଥା ତୁମ୍ଭ କହିବା ଢ଼ଙ୍ଗରୁ ଜଣା ପଡୁଛି।

74 ପିତର ନିଜକୁ ଧିକ୍କାର କରି ରାଣ ପକାଇ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ସେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ। ସତେିକି ବେଳେ କୁକୁଡ଼ା ଡ଼ାକିଲା।

75 ଏବେ ପିତରଙ୍କର, ଯୀଶୁ କହିଥିବା କଥା ମନେ ପଡ଼ିଲା। ଯୀଶୁ କହିଥିଲେ, କୁକୁଡ଼ା ଡ଼ାକିବା ପୂର୍ବରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ଜାଣିନାହଁ ବୋଲି ତିନିଥର ଅସ୍ବୀକାର କରିବ। ପିତର ବାହାରକୁ ବାହାରିଯାଇ ବ୍ଯାକୁଳ ହାଇେ କାନ୍ଦିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

2 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

3 Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

4 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

5 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

32 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

33 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

34 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest’s, and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

57 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

67 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

69 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Luke 23 in Tamil and English

1 तब सारी सभा उठकर उसे पीलातुस के पास ले गई।
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

2 और वे यह कहकर उस पर दोष लगाने लगे, कि हम ने इसे लोगों को बहकाते और कैसर को कर देने से मना करते, और अपने आप को मसीह राजा कहते हुए सुना है।
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

3 पीलातुस ने उस से पूछा, क्या तू यहूदियों का राजा है? उस ने उसे उत्तर दिया, कि तू आप ही कह रहा है।
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

4 तब पीलातुस ने महायाजकों और लोगों से कहा, मैं इस मनुष्य में कुछ दोष नहीं पाता।
Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

5 पर वे और भी दृढ़ता से कहने लगे, यह गलील से लेकर यहां तक सारे यहूदिया में उपदेश दे दे कर लोगों को उकसाता है।
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

6 यह सुनकर पीलातुस ने पूछा, क्या यह मनुष्य गलीली है?
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

7 और यह जानकर कि वह हेरोदेस की रियासत का है, उसे हेरोदेस के पास भेज दिया, क्योंकि उन दिनों में वह भी यरूशलेम में था॥
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8 हेरोदेस यीशु को देखकर बहुत ही प्रसन्न हुआ, क्योंकि वह बहुत दिनों से उस को देखना चाहता था: इसलिये कि उसके विषय में सुना था, और उसका कुछ चिन्ह देखने की आशा रखता था।
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

9 वह उस से बहुतेरी बातें पूछता रहा, पर उस ने उस को कुछ भी उत्तर न दिया।
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

10 और महायाजक और शास्त्री खड़े हुए तन मन से उस पर दोष लगाते रहे।
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

11 तब हेरोदेस ने अपने सिपाहियों के साथ उसका अपमान करके ठट्ठों में उड़ाया, और भड़कीला वस्त्र पहिनाकर उसे पीलातुस के पास लौटा दिया।
And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

12 उसी दिन पीलातुस और हेरोदेस मित्र हो गए। इसके पहिले वे एक दूसरे के बैरी थे॥
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

13 पीलातुस ने महायाजकों और सरदारों और लोगों को बुलाकर उन से कहा।
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14 तुम इस मनुष्य को लोगों का बहकाने वाला ठहराकर मेरे पास लाए हो, और देखो, मैं ने तुम्हारे साम्हने उस की जांच की, पर जिन बातों का तुम उस पर दोष लगाते हो, उन बातों के विषय में मैं ने उस में कुछ भी दोष नहीं पाया है।
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

15 न हेरोदेस ने, क्योंकि उस ने उसे हमारे पास लौटा दिया है: और देखो, उस से ऐसा कुछ नहीं हुआ कि वह मृत्यु के दण्ड के योग्य ठहराया जाए।
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

16 इसलिये मैं उसे पिटवाकर छोड़ देता हूं।
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

17 तब सब मिलकर चिल्ला उठे,
(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

18 इस का काम तमाम कर, और हमारे लिये बरअब्बा को छोड़ दे।
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

19 यही किसी बलवे के कारण जो नगर में हुआ था, और हत्या के कारण बन्दीगृह में डाला गया था।
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

20 पर पीलातुस ने यीशु को छोड़ने की इच्छा से लोगों को फिर समझाया।
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

21 परन्तु उन्होंने चिल्लाकर कहा: कि उसे क्रूस पर चढ़ा, क्रूस पर।
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

22 उस ने तीसरी बार उन से कहा; क्यों? उस ने कौन सी बुराई की है? मैं ने उस में मृत्यु दण्ड के योग्य कोई बात नहीं पाई! इसलिये मैं उसे पिटवाकर छोड़ देता हूं।
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

23 परन्तु वे चिल्ला-चिल्ला कर पीछे पड़ गए, कि वह क्रूस पर चढ़ाया जाए, और उन का चिल्लाना प्रबल हुआ।
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

24 सो पीलातुस ने आज्ञा दी, कि उन की बिनती के अनुसार किया जाए।
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

25 और उस ने उस मनुष्य को जो बलवे और हत्या के कारण बन्दीगृह में डाला गया था, और जिसे वे मांगते थे, छोड़ दिया; और यीशु को उन की इच्छा के अनुसार सौंप दिया॥
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

26 जब वे उसे लिए जाते थे, तो उन्होंने शमौन नाम एक कुरेनी को जो गांव से आ रहा था, पकड़कर उस पर क्रूस को लाद दिया कि उसे यीशु के पीछे पीछे ले चले॥
And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

27 और लोगों की बड़ी भीड़ उसके पीछे हो ली: और बहुत सी स्त्रियां भी, जो उसके लिये छाती-पीटती और विलाप करती थीं।
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

28 यीशु ने उन की ओर फिरकर कहा; हे यरूशलेम की पुत्रियों, मेरे लिये मत रोओ; परन्तु अपने और अपने बालकों के लिये रोओ।
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

29 क्योंकि देखो, वे दिन आते हैं, जिन में कहेंगे, धन्य हैं वे जो बांझ हैं, और वे गर्भ जो न जने और वे स्तन जिन्हों ने दूध न पिलाया।
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

30 उस समय वे पहाड़ों से कहने लगेंगे, कि हम पर गिरो, और टीलों से कि हमें ढाँप लो।
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

31 क्योंकि जब वे हरे पेड़ के साथ ऐसा करते हैं, तो सूखे के साथ क्या कुछ न किया जाएगा?
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

32 वे और दो मनुष्यों को भी जो कुकर्मी थे उसके साथ घात करने को ले चले॥
And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 जब वे उस जगह जिसे खोपड़ी कहते हैं पहुंचे, तो उन्होंने वहां उसे और उन कुकिर्मयों को भी एक को दाहिनी और और दूसरे को बाईं और क्रूसों पर चढ़ाया।
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 तब यीशु ने कहा; हे पिता, इन्हें क्षमा कर, क्योंकि ये नहीं जानते कि क्या कर रहें हैं और उन्होंने चिट्ठियां डालकर उसके कपड़े बांट लिए।
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 लोग खड़े खड़े देख रहे थे, और सरदार भी ठट्ठा कर करके कहते थे, कि इस ने औरों को बचाया, यदि यह परमेश्वर का मसीह है, और उसका चुना हुआ है, तो अपने आप को बचा ले।
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 सिपाही भी पास आकर और सिरका देकर उसका ठट्ठा करके कहते थे।
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 यदि तू यहूदियों का राजा है, तो अपने आप को बचा।
And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 और उसके ऊपर एक पत्र भी लगा था, कि यह यहूदियों का राजा है।
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 जो कुकर्मी लटकाए गए थे, उन में से एक ने उस की निन्दा करके कहा; क्या तू मसीह नहीं तो फिर अपने आप को और हमें बचा।
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 इस पर दूसरे ने उसे डांटकर कहा, क्या तू परमेश्वर से भी नहीं डरता? तू भी तो वही दण्ड पा रहा है।
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 और हम तो न्यायानुसार दण्ड पा रहे हैं, क्योंकि हम अपने कामों का ठीक फल पा रहे हैं; पर इस ने कोई अनुचित काम नहीं किया।
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 तब उस ने कहा; हे यीशु, जब तू अपने राज्य में आए, तो मेरी सुधि लेना।
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 उस ने उस से कहा, मैं तुझ से सच कहता हूं; कि आज ही तू मेरे साथ स्वर्गलोक में होगा॥
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 और लगभग दो पहर से तीसरे पहर तक सारे देश में अन्धियारा छाया रहा।
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 और सूर्य का उजियाला जाता रहा, और मन्दिर का परदा बीच में फट गया।
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

46 और यीशु ने बड़े शब्द से पुकार कर कहा; हे पिता, मैं अपनी आत्मा तेरे हाथों में सौंपता हूं: और यह कहकर प्राण छोड़ दिए।
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

47 सूबेदार ने, जो कुछ हुआ था देखकर, परमेश्वर की बड़ाई की, और कहा; निश्चय यह मनुष्य धर्मी था।
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

48 और भीड़ जो यह देखने को इकट्ठी हुई भी, इस घटना को, देखकर छाती- पीटती हुई लौट गई।
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

49 और उसके सब जान पहचान, और जो स्त्रियां गलील से उसके साथ आई थीं, दूर खड़ी हुई यह सब देख रही थीं॥
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

50 और देखो यूसुफ नाम एक मन्त्री जो सज्जन और धर्मी पुरूष था।
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:

51 और उन के विचार और उन के इस काम से प्रसन्न न था; और वह यहूदियों के नगर अरिमतीया का रहनेवाला और परमेश्वर के राज्य की बाट जोहनेवाला था।
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

52 उस ने पीलातुस के पास जाकर यीशु की लोथ मांग ली।
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

53 और उसे उतारकर चादर में लपेटा, और एक कब्र में रखा, जो चट्टान में खोदी हुई थी; और उस में कोई कभी न रखा गया था।
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

54 वह तैयारी का दिन था, और सब्त का दिन आरम्भ होने पर था।
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
