Micah 1
1 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ବାଣୀ ମୀଖାଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସିଥିଲା। ଯୋଥମ, ଆହସ ଓ ହିଜକିଯ ରାଜାମାନଙ୍କ ସମୟରେ ଏହି ବାଣୀ ଆସିଥିଲା। ଏମାନେ ସବୁ ଯିହୁଦାର ରାଜା ଥିଲେ ଓ ମୀଖା ଥିଲେ ମାେ ରେଷ୍ଟୀଯ। ସେ ଶମରିଯା ଓ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଏହି ଦର୍ଶନ ଲାଭ କଲେ।
2 ହେ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକେ, ଶୁଣ! ହେ ପୃଥିବୀ ଓ ତନ୍ମଧ୍ଯସ୍ଥ ସମସ୍ତେ ଶୁଣ। ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ପବିତ୍ର ମନ୍ଦିରରୁ ଆସିବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ସେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ଯ ସ୍ବରୂପ ଆସିବେ।
3 ଦେଖ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କ ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ବାହାରି ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ଏହି ଭୂମିର ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ଥାନମାନଙ୍କ ରେ ବିଚରଣ କରିବାକୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି।
4 ତାଙ୍କର ଆଗମନ ରେ ପର୍ବତଗୁଡିକ ଅଗ୍ନି ନିକଟରେ ମହମ ତରଳିଲା ପରି ତରଳି ୟିବ। ଉପତ୍ୟକାଗୁଡିକ ବିଦୀର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହବେ ଏବଂ ଜଳ ଗଡାଣି ରେ ବହିଲା ପରି ନିମ୍ନକୁ ଗଡି ଆସିବ।
5 କାରଣ ଯାକୁବ ଓ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ବଂଶର ପାପ ଯୋଗୁଁ ଏହା ଘଟିଅଛି।
6 ତେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଶମରିଯାକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିବା ଓ ଏହା ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଲତା ରୋପଣର କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ପରିଣତ କରିବା। କବଳେ ତା'ର ମୂଳଦୁଆକୁ ଛାଡି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଶମରିଯାର ସମସ୍ତ ପଥରଗୁଡିକୁ ଉପତ୍ୟକା ଭିତରକୁ ଫିଙ୍ଗିବା।
7 ଏହି, ତା'ର ସମସ୍ତ ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ଖଣ୍ତ ବିଖଣ୍ତିତ ହବେ। ଶମରିଯାର ସମସ୍ତ ଧନ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ଦଗ୍ଧ କରାୟିବ। ସହେି ଭଣ୍ତ ଦବେତାର ମୂର୍ତ୍ତିଗୁଡିକୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରାୟିବ। କାରଣ ଶମରିଯା ତା'ର ସମସ୍ତ ଧନ ଆମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି ଅବିଶ୍ବସ୍ତ ହାଇେ ଅର୍ଜନ କରିଛି। ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଶମରିଯାର ଧନସମ୍ପଦସବୁ ବାହାର କରି ନିଆୟିବ ଏବଂ ପୁଣି ବେଶ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କର ମଜୁରି ରୂପେ ତାହା ବ୍ଯବହାର କରାୟିବ।
8 ଯାହାସବୁ ଘଟିବ ମୁଁ ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହବେି। ମୁଁ ବିବସ୍ତ୍ର ହାଇେ ଖାଲି ପାଦ ରେ ବୁଲିବି। ମୁଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଶୃଗାଳ ପରି ବିଳାପ କରିବି ଓ ଓଟପକ୍ଷୀ ପରି ଶାେକ କରିବି।
9 ଶମରିଯାର କ୍ଷତ କବେେ ପୂରଣ ହବେ ନାହିଁ। ତା'ର ପାପ ଯିହୁଦା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବ୍ଯାପି ଅଛି। ଆଉ ମଧ୍ଯ ତାହା ମାେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ନଗରଦ୍ବାର ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବ୍ଯାପିଅଛି।
10 ଗାଥ ନଗର ରେ ଏହା ଜଣାଅ ନାହିଁ। ଆଦୌ ବିଳାପ କରନାହିଁ। ବୈଥ୍-ଲି-ଅଫ୍ରା ରେ ନିଜେ ଧୂଳି ରେ ଗଡ।
11 ହେ ଶାଫୀର ନିବାସୀଗଣ, ଉଲଗ୍ନ ଓ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ରାସ୍ତା ଅତିକ୍ରମ କର। ହେ ସାନନ ନିବାସୀଗଣ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ବାହାରକୁ ବାହାରିବ ନାହିଁ। ହେ ବୈଥେତ୍ସଲର ନିବାସୀଗଣ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସୁରକ୍ଷା କାଢି ନିଆ ହବୋ ପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଶାେକ କରିବ।
12 ମାରୋତ୍ ନିବାସୀ ସୁସମ୍ବାଦକୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ବିବ୍ରତ ହୁଅନ୍ତି। କାରଣ ୟିରୁଶାଲମର ଦ୍ବାରଦେଶ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଦୁଃଖ ଆସିଅଛି।
13 ହେ ଲାଖୀଶର ନିବାସୀଗଣ, ଦ୍ରୁତଗାମୀ ଅଶ୍ବକୁ ନଇେ ରଥରେ ବାନ୍ଧି। ସିଯୋନର ପାପ ଲାଖୀଶ ରେ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହେଲା, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପାପକୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କଲ।
14 ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗାଥ୍ ରେ ମାେ ରଷେତ୍କୁ ବିଦାଯକାଳୀନ ଦାନ ଦବେ। ଅକ୍ଷୀବର ଗୃହଗୁଡିକ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ରାଜାମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ପ୍ରବଞ୍ଚନା ତୁଲ୍ଯ ହବେ।
15 ହେ ମା ରଶାେ ନିବାସୀ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଏକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିକୁ ଆଣିବି, ୟିଏକି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ଅଧିକାର କରିବ। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଗୌରବ ଅଦୁଲ୍ଲମକୁ ଆସିବ।
16 ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମସ୍ତକକୁ ଲଣ୍ତା କର। ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରିଯ ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ବିଳାପ କର, ଶାଗୁଣା ପକ୍ଷୀପରି ମସ୍ତକ ମୁଣ୍ତନ କରି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୁଃଖ ଭାବକୁ ଦଖାେଅ କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କୁ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରୁ କାଢି ନିଆୟିବ।
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
3 For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
11 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.
13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
15 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
