Luke 5
1 একদিন যীশু গিনেষরত হ্রদের ধারে দাঁড়িয়েছিলেন৷ বহুলোক তাঁর চারপাশে ভীড় করে দাঁড়িয়ে ঈশ্বরের শিক্ষা শুনছিল৷
2 তিনি দেখলেন, হ্রদের ধারে দুটি নৌকা দাঁড়িয়ে আছে আর জেলেরা নৌকা থেকে নেমে জাল ধুচ্ছে৷
3 তিনি একটি নৌকায় উঠলেন, সেই নৌকাটি ছিল শিমোনের৷ যীশু তাঁকে তীর থেকে নৌকাটিকে একটু দূরে নিয়ে য়েতে বললেন৷ তারপর তিনি নৌকায় বসে সেখান থেকে লোকদের শিক্ষা দিতে লাগলেন৷
4 তাঁর কথা শেষ হলে তিনি শিমোনকে বললেন, ‘এখন গভীর জলে নৌকা নিয়ে চল, আর সেখানে মাছ ধরার জন্য তোমাদের জাল ফেল৷’
5 শিমোন উত্তর দিলেন, ‘প্রভু, আমরা সারা রাত ধরে কঠোর পরিশ্রম করে কিছুই ধরতে পারি নি; কিন্তু আপনি যখন বলছেন তখন আমি জাল ফেলব৷’
6 তাঁরা জাল ফেললে প্রচুর মাছ জালে ধরা পড়ল৷ মাছের ভারে তাদের জাল ছিঁড়ে যাবার উপক্রম হল৷
7 তখন তাঁরা সাহায্যের জন্য ইশারা করে অন্য নৌকার সঙ্গীদের ডাকলেন৷ সঙ্গীরা এসে দুটো নৌকায় এত মাছ বোঝাই করলেন য়ে সেগুলো ডুবে যাবার উপক্রম হল৷
8 এই দেখে পিতর যীশুর পায়ে পড়ে বললেন, ‘প্রভু আমি একজন পাপী৷ আপনি আমার কাছ থেকে চলে যান৷’
9 কারণ জালে এত মাছ ধরা পড়েছে দেখে তিনি ও তাঁর সঙ্গীরা সকলে অবাক হয়ে গিয়েছিলেন৷
10 সিবদিয়ের ছেলে যাকোব ও য়োহন যাঁরা তাঁর ভাগীদার ছিলেন তাঁরাও অবাক হয়ে গিয়েছিলেন৷ তখন যীশু শিমোনকে বললেন, ‘ভয় পেও না, এখন থেকে তুমি মাছ নয় বরং মানুষ ধরবে৷’
11 এরপর তাঁরা নৌকাগুলো তীরে এনে সব কিছু ফেলে রেখে যীশুর সঙ্গে চললেন৷
12 একবার যীশু কোন এক নগরে ছিলেন, সেখানে একজন লোক যার সর্বাঙ্গ কুষ্ঠরোগে ভরে গিয়েছিল, সে যীশুকে দেখে তাঁর সামনে উপুড় হয়ে পড়ে মিনতি করে বলল, ‘প্রভু, আপনি যদি ইচ্ছা করেন তাহলেই আমাকে ভালো করতে পারেন৷’
13 তখন যীশু হাত বাড়িয়ে তাকে ছুঁয়ে বললেন, ‘আমি তা-ই চাই৷ তুমি আরোগ্য লাভ কর!’ আর সঙ্গে সঙ্গে তার কুষ্ঠ ভালো হয়ে গেল৷
14 তখন যীশু তাকে আদেশ করলেন, ‘দেখ, একথা কাউকে বোলো না; কিন্তু যাও, যাজকদের কাছে গিয়ে নিজেকে দেখাও, আর শুচি হবার জন্য মোশির নির্দেশ মতো বলি উত্সর্গ কর৷ তুমি য়ে আরোগ্য লাভ করেছ, সবার সামনে এইভাবে তা প্রকাশ কর৷’
15 যীশুর বিষয়ে নানা খবর চতুর্দিকে আরো ছড়িয়ে পড়তে লাগল, আর বহুলোক ভীড় করে তাঁর কথা শুনতে ও রোগ থেকে সুস্থ হবার জন্য তাঁর কাছে আসতে লাগল৷
16 কিন্তু যীশু প্রায়ই নির্জন জায়গায় প্রান্তরের মধ্যে গিয়ে প্রার্থনা করতেন৷
17 একদিন তিনি যখন শিক্ষা দিচ্ছেন তখন সেখানে কয়েকজন ফরীশী ও ব্যবস্থার শিক্ষক বসেছিল৷ এরা গালীল ও যিহূদিযার প্রতিটি নগর ও জেরুশালেম থেকে এসেছিল৷ রোগীদের সুস্থ করার জন্য প্রভুর শক্তি যীশুর মধ্যে ছিল৷
18 সেই সময় কয়েকজন লোক খাটে করে একজন পঙ্গুকে বয়ে নিয়ে এল৷ তারা তাকে ভেতরে যীশুর কাছে নিয়ে যাবার চেষ্টা করছিল;
19 কিন্তু ভীড়ের জন্য ভেতরে যাবার পথ পেল না৷ তখন তারা ছাদে উঠে ছাদের টালি সরিয়ে তাকে তার খাটিযা সমেত লোকদের মাঝে য়েখানে যীশু ছিলেন সেখানে নামিয়ে দিল৷
20 তাদের এই বিশ্বাস দেখে যীশু বললেন, ‘তোমার পাপ ক্ষমা করা হল৷’
21 এই শুনে ইহুদী ব্যবস্থার শিক্ষকরা ও ফরীশীরা নিজেদের মধ্যে মনে মনে ভাবতে লাগল, ‘এই লোকটা কে য়ে ঈশ্বর নিন্দা করছে! একমাত্র ঈশ্বর ছাড়া আর কে পাপ ক্ষমা করতে পারে?’
22 কিন্তু যীশু তাদের মনের চিন্তা বুঝতে পেরে বললেন, ‘তোমরা মনে মনে কেন ঐ কথা ভাবছ?
23 কোনটা বলা সহজ, ‘তোমার পাপ ক্ষমা করা হল,’ না ‘তুমি উঠে হেঁটে বেড়াও?’
24 কিন্তু তোমরা য়েন জানতে পারো য়ে পৃথিবীতে পাপ ক্ষমা করার ক্ষমতা মানবপুত্রেরআছে৷’ তাই তিনি পঙ্গু লোকটিকে বললেন, ‘আমি তোমায় বলছি, ওঠো! তোমার খাটিযা তুলে নিয়ে বাড়ি যাও৷’
25 আর লোকটি সঙ্গে সঙ্গে তাদের সামনে উঠে দাঁড়াল আর য়ে খাটিযার ওপর সে শুয়েছিল তা তুলে নিয়ে ঈশ্বরের প্রশংসা করতে করতে বাড়ি চলে গেল৷
26 এই দেখে সবাই খুব আশ্চর্য হয়ে গেল, আর ঈশ্বরের প্রশংসা করতে লাগল৷ তারা ভয় ও ভক্তিতে পূর্ণ হয়ে বলতে লাগল, ‘আজ আমরা এক বিস্ময়কর ঘটনা দেখলাম৷’
27 এই ঘটনার পর যীশু সেখান থেকে বাইরে গেলে কর আদায় করার জায়গায় লেবি নামে একজন কর আদায়কারীকে বসে থাকতে দেখলেন৷ যীশু তাকে বললেন, ‘আমার সঙ্গে এস!’
28 আর লেবি সব কিছু ফেলে রেখে উঠে পড়লেন ও যীশুর সঙ্গে চললেন৷
29 যীশুর জন্য লেবি তাঁর বাড়িতে একটা বড় ভোজের আযোজন করলেন৷ তাদের সঙ্গে অনেক কর আদায়কারী ও অন্যান্য আরো অনেকে খেতে বসল৷
30 তখন ফরীশী ও তাদের ব্যবস্থার শিক্ষকরা যীশুর অনুগামীদের কাছে অভিযোগ করে বলল, ‘তোমরা কেন কর আদায়কারী ও মন্দ লোকদের সঙ্গে ভোজন পান কর?’
31 এর জবাবে যীশু তাদের বললেন, ‘সুস্থ লোকেদের জন্য চিকিত্সকের প্রযোজন নেই; কিন্তু যাঁরা অসুস্থ তাদের জন্য চিকিত্সকের দরকার আছে৷
32 আমি ধার্মিকদের নয় কিন্তু মন্দ লোকদের ডাকতে এসেছি; য়েন তারা পাপের পথ থেকে ফেরে৷’
33 তারা যীশুকে বলল, ‘য়োহনের অনুগামীরা প্রায়ই প্রার্থনা ও উপবাস করে, ফরীশীদের অনুগামীরাও তা করে; কিন্তু আপনার অনুগামীরা তো সব সময়ই ভোজন পান করছে৷’
34 যীশু তাদের বললেন, ‘বর সঙ্গে থাকতে কি তোমরা বর যাত্রীদের উপোস করে থাকতে বলতে পার?
35 কিন্তু এমন সময় আসছে যখন বরকে তাদের কাছ থেকে সরিয়ে নেওযা হবে আর সেই সময় তারা উপোস করবে৷’
36 তিনি তাদের কাছে একটি দৃষ্টান্ত দিয়ে বললেন, ‘নতুন জামা থেকে একটি টুকরো ছিঁড়ে নিয়ে কেউ কি পুরানো জামায় তালি দেয়? যদি কেউ তা করে তবে সে তার নতুন জামাটি ছিঁড়ল, আবার সেই ছেঁড়া কাপড়ের টুকরো পুরানোর সঙ্গে মানাবে না৷
37 পুরানো চামড়ার থলিতে কেউ টাটকা দ্রাক্ষারস রাখে না, রাখলে টাটকা দ্রাক্ষারস চামড়ার থলিটি ফাটিয়ে দেবে তাতে রস ও পড়ে যাবে আর থলি ও নষ্ট হবে৷
38 টাটকা দ্রাক্ষারস নতুন চামড়ার থলিতে রাখাই উচিত;
39 আর পুরানো দ্রাক্ষারস পান করার পর কেউ টাটকা দ্রাক্ষারস পান করতে চায় না, কারণ সে বলে ‘পুরাতনটাই ভাল৷”
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
Esther 8 in Tamil and English
1 ସହେିଦିନ ଅକ୍ଷଶ୍ବରେଶ ରାଜା ଏଷ୍ଟର ରାଣୀକୁ ୟିହୁଦୀଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଶତୃ ହାମନର ଗୃହ ଆଦି ଦଲୋ। ଆଉ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ସାକ୍ଷାତ ରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା କାରଣ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯ ସହିତ କି ସମ୍ପର୍କ ତାହା ଜଣାଇ ଦଇେଥିଲା।
On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
2 ଏଥି ରେ ରାଜା ହାମନଠାରୁ ଯେଉଁ ଅଙ୍ଗୁରୀଯ ନଇେଥିଲା, ତାହା କାଢି ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯକୁ ଦଲୋ। ଏବଂ ଏଷ୍ଟର ହାମନର ଗୃହ ଉପରେ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯକୁ ନିୟୁକ୍ତି କଲା।
And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 ଏଷ୍ଟର ରାଜା ନିକଟରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ନିବଦନେ କଲା, ପୁଣି ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତିକୂଳ ରେ ଅଗାଗୀଯ ହାମନର କୃତ ଅମଙ୍ଗଳ ଓ ତାର କଳ୍ପିତ କଳ୍ପନା ନିବାରାଣାର୍ଥେ ତାହାର ଚରଣ ରେ ପଡି ରୋଦନ କରି ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କଲା।
And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
4 ତହିଁରେ ରାଜା ଏଷ୍ଟର ଆଡେ ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଦଣ୍ତ ବିସ୍ତାର କରନ୍ତେ ଏଷ୍ଟର ଉଠି ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଛାମୁ ରେ ଠିଆ ହେଲା।
Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
5 ଏବଂ କହିଲା, ଯବେେ ମହାରାଜ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ ହୁଅନ୍ତି ଯବେେ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଦୁଷ୍ଟି ରେ ମୁଁ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ପାଇଅଛି, ଦୟାକରି ମାେ ପାଇଁ ଏହା କରନ୍ତୁ। ଆଉ ଯଦି ଏହା ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ କରେ, ତବେେ ମହାରାଜାଙ୍କର ସମୁଦାଯ ପ୍ରଦେଶସ୍ଥ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିନାଶ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଅଗାଗୀଯ ହମ୍ମାଦାଥାର ପୁତ୍ର ହାମନ ଯେ ସକଳ ପତ୍ର ଲେଖିବାକୁ ପରାମର୍ଶ ଦଇେଥିଲା, ତାହା ପ୍ରତ୍ଯାହୃତ କରାଯାଉ।
And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
6 ଯେ ହତେୁ ମାେ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଯେଉଁ ଅମଙ୍ଗଳ ଘଟିବ ତାହା ଦେଖି ମୁଁ କିପରି ସହିପାରିବି? ପୁଣି ଆପଣା କୁଟୁମ୍ବମାନଙ୍କ ବିନାଶ ଦେଖି କିପରି ସହିପାରିବି?
For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
7 ଏଥି ରେ ଅକ୍ଷଶ୍ବରେଶ ରାଜା ଏଷ୍ଟର ରାଣୀକୁ ଓ ୟିହୁଦୀଯ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯକୁ କହିଲା, ଦେଖ, ମୁଁ ଏଷ୍ଟରକୁ ହାମନର ଗୃହ ଦଲେି, ଲୋକମାନେ ହାମନ୍କୁ ଫାଶିକାଠ ରେ ଫାଶି ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି। କାରଣ ସେ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ହସ୍ତକ୍ଷପେ କରିଥିଲା।
Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
8 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ସମନ୍ଧ ରେ ନିଜ ନିଜ ଇଛାନୁସା ରେ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ନାମ ରେ ରାଜାଜ୍ଞା ଲେଖ ଓ ତାହା ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଅଙ୍ଗୁରୀଯ ରେ ମାହେରାଙ୍କିତ କର। କାରଣ ରାଜାଙ୍କର ନାମ ରେ ଲିଖିତ ଓ ରାଜାଙ୍କର ଅଙ୍ଗୁରୀଯ ରେ ମାହେରାଙ୍କିତ ପତ୍ର କହେି ଅନ୍ୟଥା କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
9 ତେଣୁ ତୃତୀୟ ମାସର ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ସୀବନ ମାସର ତଇେଶ ଦିନ ରେ ରାଜାର ଲେଖକମାନେ ଆହୁତ ହୁଅନ୍ତେ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯର ଆଜ୍ଞା ଅନୁସାରେ ସମସ୍ତ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଓ ହିନ୍ଦୁସ୍ଥାନଠାରୁ କୁଶଦେଶ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ 127 ପ୍ରଦେଶର ଅନ୍ତର୍ଗତ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପ୍ରଦେଶର ଅକ୍ଷାରାନୁସା ରେ କ୍ଷତିପାଳ ଓ ଶାସନକର୍ତ୍ତା ଓ ପ୍ରଦଶାଧେିପତିମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ। ପୁଣି ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀକି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଭାଷାନୁସା ରେ, ଆଉ ୟିହୁଦୀଯ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଅକ୍ଷର ଓ ଭାଷାନୁସା ରେ ପତ୍ର ଲଖାଗେଲା।
Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
10 ସେ ରାଜା ଅକ୍ଷଶ୍ବରେଶ ନାମ ରେ ଲେଖି ଓ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଅଙ୍ଗୁରୀଯ ରେ ମାହେରାଙ୍କିତ କରି ଅଶ୍ବାଶାଳା-ଜାତ ରାଜକୀଯ ଅଶ୍ବବାହାରୂଢ ଦ୍ରୁତଗାମୀ ଦୂତଗଣ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ପତ୍ର ପଠାଇଲା।
And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
11 ରାଜାଙ୍କର ଚିଠି ରେ ଲିଖିତ ବିଷଯ ବସ୍ତୁ ଏହି:
Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
12 ସଦେିନ ଥିଲା ଅକ୍ଷଶ୍ବରେଶ ରାଜାଙ୍କର ତ୍ରଯୋଦଶ ଦିନ ଦ୍ବାଦଶ ମାସର ଅଦାର ମାସ ରେ। ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ସବୁ ପ୍ରଦେଶ ରେ ପ୍ରଗ୍ଭର କରିବା ପାଇଁ, ରାଜା ଅନୁମତି ଦଇେଥିଲେ।
Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
13 ସହେି ଚିଠିର ଏକ ନକଲ ରାଜାଙ୍କର ଏକ ଆଜ୍ଞାପତ୍ର ଗ୍ଭରି ଆଡକୁ ପଠା ୟାଇଥିଲା। ଏହା ଏକ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଥିଲା, ଏହି ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ସବୁ ପ୍ରଦେଶ ରେ ନିଯମ ରେ ପରିଣତ କରାଗଲା। ସହେି ରାଜ୍ଯ ରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ସବୁଜାତୀଯ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ତାହା ପ୍ରଗ୍ଭରିତ ହେଲା। ସେ ଏପରି କରିଥିଲେ କାରଣ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନେ ସହେି ଦିନପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ। ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁଯୋଗ ଦିଆ ୟାଇଥିଲା ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ପ୍ରତି ଶାଧେ ନବୋପାଇଁ।
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
14 ତହିଁରେ ଦ୍ରୁତଗାମୀ ରାଜକୀଯ ଅଶ୍ବାରୁଢ ଦୂତମାନେ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଆଜ୍ଞା ରେ ଶିଘ୍ର ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲେ, ଏବଂ ଏହା ଶ୍ବଶନ ରାଜଧାନୀ ରେ ସହେି ଆଜ୍ଞା ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲା।
So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
15 ଏହାପରେ ମର୍ଦ୍ଦଖଯ ନୀଳ ଓ ଶୁକ୍ଲବର୍ଣ୍ଣ ରାଜକୀଯ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପିନ୍ଧି ମସ୍ତକରେ ସୁବର୍ଣ୍ଣମଯ ବୃହତ ମୁକୁଟ ଦଇେ ସରୁ ଓ ଏକ ସୁକ୍ଷ୍ମ ନାଇଲନ୍ ଓଢଣୀ ଓ ବାଇଗଣୀ ରଂଗର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପିନ୍ଧି ରାଜାଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରୁ ବାହାରି ଗଲା ତହିଁରେ ଶୂଶନ ରାଜଧାନୀ ଆନନ୍ଦ ଓ ହର୍ଷନାଦ ରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହେଲା।
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
16 ଆଉ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କର ଦୀପ୍ତି, ଆନନ୍ଦ, ହର୍ଷ ଓ ସମ୍ଭ୍ରମର ଉଦଯ ହେଲା।
The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
17 ଏବଂ ପ୍ରତି ପ୍ରଦେଶ ରେ ଓ ପ୍ରତି ନଗର ରେ, ଯେ କୌଣସି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ରାଜାଜ୍ଞା ଓ ନିଯମ ପତ୍ର ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା, ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କର ଆନନ୍ଦ ଓ ଆମାଦେ, ଭୋଜି ଓ ମଙ୍ଗଳର ଦିନ ହେଲା। ପୁଣି ଦେଶର ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ୟିହୁଦୀଯ ମତାଲମ୍ବୀ ହେଲେ, ଯେ ହତେୁ ସମାନେେ ୟିହୁଦୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ସକାେଶ ଭୟ କଲେ।
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
