Acts 3
1 ଦିନେ ପିତର ଓ ଯୋହନ ଏକାଠି ମନ୍ଦିର ପରିସରକୁ ଗଲେ। ସେତବେେଳେ ଦିନ ତିନିଟା ହାଇେଥିଲା ଓ ତାହା ପ୍ରତିଦିନର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନାର ସମୟ ଥିଲା।
2 ସମାନେେ ଉପାସନା ମନ୍ଦିର ପରିସର ମଧିଅରେ ଯାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ସଠାେରେ ଥିଲା। ସେ ଜନ୍ମରୁ ପଙ୍ଗୁ ହାଇେଥିବାରୁ ଚାଲିପାରୁ ନଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ତାହାକୁ ସବୁଦିନ ମନ୍ଦିରରୁ 'ସୁନ୍ଦର ଫାଟକ' ପାଖ ରେ ବ ସଇେ ଦେଉଥିଲେ। ସେ ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ଯାଉଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ପଇସା ମାଗୁଥିଲା।
3 ସେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ପିତର ଓ ଯୋହନଙ୍କୁ ମନ୍ଦିର ଭିତରକୁ ୟିବାର ଦେଖିଲା, ସେତବେେଳେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପଇସା ମାଗିଲା।
4 ଯୋହନ ଓ ପିତର ତା ଆଡ଼କୁ ଅନାଇ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭ ଆଡ଼େ ଚାହଁ।
5 ସେ କିଛି ପାଇବା ଆଶା ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଆଡ଼େ ଦେଖିଲା।
6 କିନ୍ତୁ ପିତର କହିଲେ, ମାେ ପାଖ ରେ ସୁନା ବା ରୂପା ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଯାହା ଅଛି ତାହା ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଉଛି। ନାଜରିତୀୟ ଯୀଶୁଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ନାମ ରେ ଉଠି ଚ଼ାଲ।
7 ଏହା କହି ପିତର ତା'ର ଡ଼ାହାଣ ହାତ ଧରି ଉେଠଇଲେ। ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ତା' ଗୋଡ଼ ଓ ପାଦ ଶକ୍ତ ହାଇଗେଲା। ସେ ଡ଼ଇେଁ ପଡ଼ି ଚ଼ାଲିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା
8 ସେ ନାଚି ନାଚି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରି ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ଉପାସନା ମନ୍ଦିରକୁ ଗଲା।
9 ସମସ୍ତେ ତାହାକୁ ଚାଲିବାର ଓ ଇଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ।
10 ଲୋକମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ଚ଼ିହ୍ନିପାରିଲେ ଯେ ଏ ସହେି ଲୋକ ୟିଏ କି ଉପାସନା ମନ୍ଦିରର 'ସୁନ୍ଦର ଫାଟକ' ପାଖ ରେ ବସି ଭିକ ମାଗୁଥିଲା। ସମାନେେ ତାହାର ଏହି ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ଦେଖି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ଏହା କିପରି ସମ୍ଭବ ହେଲା, ତାହା ସମାନେେ ବୁଝିପାରୁ ନଥିଲେ।
11 ସେ ସୁସ୍ଥ ଲୋକଟି ପିତର ଓ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ପାଖେ ପାଖେ ରହିଲା। ତେଣୁ ସମସ୍ତେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇେ ଶଲୋମନଙ୍କ ମଣ୍ଡପ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଖକୁ ଦୌଡ଼ି ଆସିଲେ। ତାହା ଦେଖି ପିତର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଇଶ୍ରଯଲରେ ଲୋକମାନେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏହା ଦେଖି କାହିଁକି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହେଉଅଛ?
12 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଏପରି କାହିଁକି ଦେଖୁଛ, ଯେପରିକି ଆମ୍ଭେ ଅମ୍ଭ ଶକ୍ତି ବା ଭକ୍ତି ବଳ ରେ ଏହି ଲୋକକୁ ଚ଼ାଲିବାକୁ ଦଲେୁ।
13 ନା! ଇଶ୍ବର ଏହା କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ଅବ୍ରାହାମ, ୟିସ୍ହାକ ଓଯାକୁବଙ୍କ ଇଶ୍ବର ଅଟନ୍ତି। ସେ ଆମ୍ଭର ସମସ୍ତ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ଇଶ୍ବର ଅଟନ୍ତି। ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ମହାନ ସବେକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଗୌରବାନ୍ବିତ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି। ମାତ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ଭୋଗ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରି ଦେଲେ। ପୀଲାତ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିବାକୁ ସ୍ଥିର କରିଥିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଚ଼ାହଁନାହିଁ ବୋଲି ପୀଲାତଙ୍କୁ କହିଲ।
14 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଜଣେ ପବିତ୍ର ଓ ଧାର୍ମିକ ଲୋକକୁ ଅସ୍ବୀକାର କଲ ଓ ଜଣେ ହତ୍ଯାକାରୀକୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବଦଳ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ଚାହିଁଲ।
15 ଜୀବନ ଦାନ କରିଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ହତ୍ଯା କଲ, ମାତ୍ର ଇଶ୍ବର ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁରୁ ଉଠାଇଲେ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଏହାର ସାକ୍ଷୀ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ବି ଏହା ନିଜ ଆଖି ରେ ଦେଖିଅଛୁ।
16 ଏ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦେଖୁଛ ଓ ଚିହ୍ନିଛ, ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନାମ ରେ ଶକ୍ତି ପାଇ ଚ଼ାଲି ପାରିଲା। ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନାମ ରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଅଛି। ହଁ, କବଳେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଥିବା ବିଶ୍ବାସ ତାକୁ ସମ୍ପୁର୍ଣ୍ଣ ରୂପେ ଆରୋଗ୍ୟ କରି ଦଲୋ ଆଉ ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଦେଖିଲ।
17 ଭାଇମାନେ, ମୁଁ ଜାଣେ ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ କ'ଣ କରୁଛ, ତାହା ନବୁଝି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଏପରି କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ନେତାମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ କ'ଣ କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି, ତାହା ବୁଝିପାରି ନଥିଲେ।
18 ଇଶ୍ବର ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କର ଦୁଃଖ ଭୋଗିବା ବିଷୟ ରେ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ସବୁ କଥା ଭାବବାଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ମୁଖଦ୍ବାରା କହି ସାରିଥିଲେ। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଏ ସବୁ ଘଟଣା ଘଟାଉଛନ୍ତି।
19 ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ହୃଦୟ ଓ ଜୀବନ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଫରେିଆସ, ତବେେ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପାପସବୁ କ୍ଷମା କରି ଦବେେ।
20 ଏପରି କଲେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆତ୍ମିକ ଶାନ୍ତି ଦବେେ। ତାହାଙ୍କ ମନୋନୀତ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ପଠାଇ ଦବେେ।
21 ପୁନର୍ବାର ସମସ୍ତ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ସୁସମ୍ପନ୍ନ ହବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ବର୍ଗ ରେ ରହିବାକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ। ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ବହୁତ ଆଗରୁ ଭାବବଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ମାଧ୍ଯମ ରେ କହିଛନ୍ତି।
22 ମାଶାେ କହିଛନ୍ତି, 'ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଜଣେ ଭାବବାଦୀ ଦବେେ। ସହେି ଭାବବାଦୀ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଆସିବେ। ସେ ମାେ'ପରି ହବେେ। ସେ ଯାହା କହିବେ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାନିବାକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ।
23 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ତାହାଙ୍କ କଥାର ବାଧ୍ଯ ହବେନାହିଁ ତା'ର ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ଘଟିବ ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ସେ ବିଚ୍ଛିନ୍ନ କରିଦିଆୟିବ।'
24 ହଁ, ଶାମୁଯଲେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପରେ ଆସିଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ଭାବବାଦୀମାନେ ଏହି ସମୟ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଘୋଷଣା କରିଛନ୍ତି।
25 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସହେି ଭାବବାଦୀମାନଙ୍କର ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାରୀ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଯେଉଁ ଚୁକ୍ତି କରିଥିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତା'ର ଉତ୍ତରାଧିକାରୀ। ସେ ଅବ୍ରାହାମଙ୍କୁ କହିଥିଲେ, 'ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଜଗତ ରେ ସବୁ ଲୋକ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ ପାଇବେ।'
26 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରଥମେ ଆପଣାର ବିଶଷେ ସବେକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଛନ୍ତି। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଯେପରି ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯରୁ ବିମୁଖ ହୁଅ, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ଏପରି କରିଛନ୍ତି।
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Job 14 in Tamil and English
1 ஸ்திரீயினிடத்தில் பிறந்த மனுஷன் வாழ்நாள் குறுகினவனும் சஞ்சலம் நிறைந்தவனுமாயிருக்கிறான்.
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 அவன் பூவைப்போலப் பூத்து அறுப்புண்கிறான்; நிழலைப்போல நிலைநிற்காமல் ஓடிப்போகிறான்.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 ஆகிலும் இப்படிப்பட்டவன்மேல் நீர் உம்முடைய கண்களைத் திறந்துவைத்து, உம்முடைய நியாயத்துக்கு என்னைக் கொண்டுபோவீரோ?
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 அசுத்தமானதிலிருத்து சுத்தமானதை பிறப்பிக்கத்தக்கவன் உண்டோ? ஒருவனுமில்லை.
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 அவனுடைய நாட்கள் இம்மாத்திரம் என்று குறிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கையால், அவனுடைய மாதங்களின் தொகை உம்மிடத்தில் இருக்கிறது; அவன் கடந்துபோகக் கூடாத எல்லையை அவனுக்கு ஏற்படுத்தினீர்.
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 அவன் ஒரு கூலிக்காரனைப்போல் தன் நாளின் வேலையாயிற்று என்று ரம்மியப்படுமட்டும் அவன் ஓய்ந்திருக்கும்படி உமது பார்வையை அவனைவிட்டு விலக்கும்.
Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7 ஒரு மரத்தைக்குறித்தாவது நம்பிக்கையுண்டு; அது வெட்டிப்போடப்பட்டாலும் திரும்பத் தழைக்கும், அதின் இளங்கிளைகள் துளிர்க்கும்;
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 அதின் வேர் தரையிலே பழையதாகி, அதின் அடிக்கட்டை மண்ணிலே செத்தாலும்,
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 தண்ணீரின் வாசனையினால் அது துளிர்த்து, இளமரம்போலக் கிளைவிடும்.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 மனுஷனோவென்றால் செத்தபின் ஒழிந்துபோகிறான், மனுபுத்திரர் ஜீவித்துப்போனபின் அவன் எங்கே?
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 தண்ணீர் ஏரியிலிருந்து வடிந்து வெள்ளம் வற்றிச் சுவறிப்போகிறதுபோல,
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 மனுஷன் படுத்துக்கிடக்கிறான் ; வானங்கள் ஒழிந்துபோகுமளவும் எழுந்திருக்கிறதும் இல்லை, நித்திரை தெளிந்து விழிக்கிறதும் இல்லை.
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13 நீர் என்னைப் பாதாளத்தில் ஒளித்து, உமது கோபம் தீருமட்டும் என்னை மறைத்து, என்னைத் திரும்ப நினைக்கும்படிக்கு எனக்கு ஒரு காலத்தைக் குறித்தால் நலமாயிருக்கும்.
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 மனுஷன் செத்தபின் பிழைப்பானோ? எனக்கு மாறுதல் வருமென்று எனக்குக் குறிக்கப்பட்ட போராட்டத்தின் நாளெல்லாம் நான் காத்திருக்கிறேன்.
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 என்னைக் கூப்பிடும், அப்பொது நான் உமக்கு உத்தரவு சொல்லுவேன்; உமது கைகளின் கிரியையின்மேல் விருப்பம் வைப்பீராக.
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16 இப்பொழுது என் நடைகளை எண்ணுகிறீர், என் பாவத்தின்மேலல்லவோ கவனமாயிருக்கிறீர்.
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 என் மீறுதல் ஒரு கட்டாகக் கட்டப்பட்டு முத்திரைபோடப்பட்டிருக்கிறது, என் அக்கிரமத்தை ஒருமிக்கச் சேர்த்தீர்.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18 மலை முதலாய் விழுந்து கரைந்துபோம், கன்மலை தன் இடத்தை விட்டுப்பேர்ந்துபோம்.
And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19 தண்ணீர் கற்களைக் குடையும்; ஜலப்பிரவாகம் பூமியின் தூளில் முளைத்ததை மூடும்; அப்படியே மனுஷன் கொண்டிருக்கும் நம்பிக்கையை அழிக்கிறீர்.
The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 நீர் என்றைக்கும் அவனைப் பெலனாய் நெருக்குகிறதினால் அவன் போய்விடுகிறான்; அவன் முகரூபத்தை மாறப்பண்ணி அவனை அனுப்பிவிடுகிறீர்.
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 அவன் பிள்ளைகள் கனமடைந்தாலும் அவன் உணரான்; அவர்கள் சிறுமைப்பட்டாலும் அவர்களைக் கவனியான்.
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22 அவன் மாம்சம் அவனிலிருக்குமளவும் அதற்கு நோவிருக்கும்; அவன் ஆத்துமா அவனுக்குள்ளிருக்குமட்டும் அதற்குத் துக்கமுண்டு என்றான்.
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
