Judges 18
1 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ମଧିଅରେ ରାଜା ନ ଥିଲେ। ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗର ବସତି ନିମନ୍ତେ ଭୂଖଣ୍ତ ଖାଜେକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲେ। କାରଣ ସେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ମଧିଅରେ ଭୂମି ପାଇଲେ ନାହିଁ।
2 ଏଣୁ ଦାନର ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ବୀର ପୁରୁଷଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଶ ଭ୍ରମଣ ଓ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ କରିବାକୁ ସରିଯ ଓ ଇଷ୍ଟାଯୋଲଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇଲେ ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ୟାଅ ଏବଂ ଆଉ କିଛି ଅଧିକ ଦେଶ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ କର।
3 ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ଗୃହ ନିକଟରେ ଥିବା ବେଳେ ସହେି ଲବେୀୟ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକର କଥା ଶୁଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନିପାରିଲେ, ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ଘର ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଇ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏଠାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କିଏ ଆଣିଲା? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏଠା ରେ କ'ଣ କରୁଛ? ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏଠା ରେ କ'ଣ ଅଛି?
4 ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ରେ କହିଲା, ମୀଖା ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ଏହିପରି କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ମାେତେ ବତନେ ଦଇେ ଏଠା ରେ ଯାଜକ ରୂପେ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କରିଛନ୍ତି
5 ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ତାହାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରଗ୍ଭର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ୟିବା ବାଟରେ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହବେ କି ନାହିଁ। ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ଭହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ।
6 ତହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ ଯାଜକ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, କକ୍ସ୍ଟଶଳ ରେ ୟାଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଗନ୍ତବ୍ଯ ପଥ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଅଛି।
7 ଏହାପରେ ସହେି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କରି ଲଯିଶ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ସମାନେେ ଦେଖିଲେ, ସୀଦୋନୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ଶାସନ ରେ ଲୋକମାନେ କିପରି ନିରାପଦ ରେ ରହକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲେ। ସହେି ଦେଶ ରେ ଶାନ୍ତି ଥିଲା, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସବୁକିଛି ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ଥିଲା। ସଠାେରେ ଅତ୍ଯାଗ୍ଭରୀ ଶାସକ ନଥିଲେ। ଆଉ ସମାନେେ ସୀଦୋନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂର ରେ ଥିଲେ ଓ ଅନ୍ୟ କାହାରି ସହିତ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସଐର୍କ ନ ଥିଲା।
8 ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ସରିଯ ଓ ଇଷ୍ଟାଯୋଲ ରେ ନିଜର ଭାତୃଗଣ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ। ତହିଁରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଭାତୃଗଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, କ'ଣ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମେ ଶିକ୍ଷା କଲ?
9 ତହିଁରେ ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ଉଠ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପ୍ରତିକୂଳ ରେ ୟିବା। କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସେ ଦେଶ ଦେଖିଲକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ଦେଖ ସେ ଦେଶ ଅତି ଉତ୍ତମ। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କାହିଁକି ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟପ ରହିଛ। ସହେି ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓ ସେ ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଧିକାରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣିବା ପାଇଁ ଅଳସ କର ନାହିଁ।
10 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଗଲେ ନିର୍ଭୟ ରେ ଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପାଇବ ଓ ଦେଶ ଅତି ବିସ୍ତୃତ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ପୃଥିବୀସ୍ଥ କୌଣସି କଥାର ଅଭାବ ନାହିଁ।
11 ତେଣୁ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗରକ୍ସ୍ଟ 600 ଲୋକ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେ ସରିଯ ଓ ଇଷ୍ଟାଯୋଲ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ।
12 ସମାନେେ ଲଯିଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିବା ବାଟରେ ୟିହକ୍ସ୍ଟଦାର କିରିଯତ ୟିଯାରୀମ ନଗର ରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ସହେି କାରଣରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଜି ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ମହନୀଦାନ୍ ଦାନ ବୋଲି ପରିଚିତ। ଯାହାକି କିରିଯତ ୟିଯାରୀମର ପଶ୍ଚିମ ରେ ଅଛି।
13 ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ 600 ଲୋକ ଇଫ୍ରଯିମ ପର୍ବତମଯ ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାତ୍ରା କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ଆସି ମୀଖାର ଘ ରେ ପହଁଞ୍ଚିଲେ।
14 ତେଣୁ ସହେି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଲଯିଶ ଦେଶ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ କରିବାକୁ ୟାଇଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସଐର୍କୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସଠାେରେ ଏକ ଏଫୋଦ୍ ଅଛି। ସଠାେରେ ଗୃହ ଦବେତାଗଣ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଓ ଏକ ଖାଦେିତ ପ୍ରତିମା ଅଛି। ଏହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କ'ଣ ଜାଣ? ତେଣୁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ କ'ଣ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ ବିବଚେନା କର।
15 ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ଗୃହ ପାଖ ରେ ଅଟକି ଗଲେ। ଯେଉଁଠା ରେ ଲବେୀୟ ଲୋକ ଜଣକ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସହେି ଲବେୀୟ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ କିପରି ଅଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି।
16 ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗର 600 ଲୋକ ଅସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଫାଟକ ନିକଟରେ ଛିଡା ହେଲେ।
17 ଦଶାେନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ ନିମିତ୍ତ ୟାଇଥିବା ସହେି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ଉପରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ଏଫୋଦକକ୍ସ୍ଟ, ଗୃହ ଦବେତାଙ୍କୁ ଓ ଖାଦେିତ ପ୍ରତିମାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇଗେଲେ।
18 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଯାଜକ ଫାଟକ ନିକଟରେ ଅସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେ ସହେି 600 ଲୋକ ସହିତ ଛିଡା ହାଇଗେଲେ। ଯାଜକ ଘ ରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିଥିବା ପାଞ୍ଚ ଜଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେ କ'ଣ କରୁଅଛ?
19 ସମାନେେ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟପ୍ ହବୋ ପାଇଁ କହିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ହାତ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପାଟି ରେ ଦିଅ ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କର। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପିତା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଯାଜକ ହକ୍ସ୍ଟଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଲୋକର ଗୃହ ଦବେତାର ଯାଜକ ହବୋ ଭଲ ନା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀ ଓ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ଉପରେ ଯାଜକ ହବୋ ଭଲ କି?
20 ଏଥି ରେ ଯାଜକର ମନ ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ହେଲା। ତହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ ସେ ଏଫୋଦ୍ ଓ ଠାକକ୍ସ୍ଟରମାନ ଓ ଖୋଳା ପ୍ରତିମାମାନ ନଇେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲା।
21 ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଲି ପଡିଲେ ଓ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବାଳକ, ପଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଗଣ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସମସ୍ତ ସାମଗ୍ରୀ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଆଗ ରେ ରଖିଲେ।
22 ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ଗୃହର ଅଳ୍ପ ଦୂର ରେ ଥିଲେ। ସେତବେେଳେ ମୀଖାର ନିକଟରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଡ଼ାଇଲେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଧରିଲେ।
23 ସମାନେେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ପାଟି କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନେ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଲିପଡି ମୀଖାଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର କ'ଣ ଖବର ଅଛି ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏକତ୍ରୀତ କରିଛ?
24 ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ରେ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ହାତ ରେ ତିଆରି କରିଥିବା ପ୍ରତିମାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ମାରେ ଯାଜକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ନଇେ ୟାଇଛ। ମାରେ ଆଉ କ'ଣ ବାକି ଅଛି? ଏବଂ ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପଗ୍ଭରକ୍ସ୍ଟଛ, 'ସମସ୍ଯା କ'ଣ?'
25 ତହିଁରେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ତର୍କ ନକରିବା ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ଉତ୍ତମ ଅଟେ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରକ୍ସ୍ଟ କେତକଙ୍କେକ୍ସ୍ଟ କୋର୍ଧିତ କରିପା ରେ। ଯେଉଁମାନେ କି ଗରମ ମିଜାସର ଅଟନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପରିବାରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରି ପାରନ୍ତି ଓ ହତ୍ଯା କରିପାରନ୍ତି।
26 ଏହାପରେ ଦାନ ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ ନିଜ ପଥରେ ଅଗ୍ରସର ହେଲେ। ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ମୀଖା ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ନିଜଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଧିକ ବଳବାନ ଦେଖି ଫରେି ନିଜ ଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଫରେି ଗଲେ।
27 ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ପ୍ରତିମା ଓ ତାହାର ଯାଜକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଛାଡି ଲଯିଶ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କଲେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ସଠାେରେ ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ଓ ନିରାପଦ ରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଖଡ୍ଗ ରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ ଓ ନଗରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ଦଗ୍ଧ କଲେ।
28 ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ତାଙ୍କର କହେି ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର୍ତ୍ତା ନ ଥିଲେ। କାରଣ ତାହା ସୀଦୋନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂର ଥିଲା, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଚୂକ୍ତି ନଥିଲା। ଲଯିଶ ବୈଥ୍ରହୋବର ଓ ନିକଟସ୍ଥ ତଳ ଭୂମିରେ ଥିଲା। ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ନୂତନ ନଗର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରି ସଠାେରେ ବାସ କଲେ।
29 ଯେ ହତେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଜଣେ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଦାନର ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ ବଂଶଧର ଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ସହେି ନଗରର ନାମ ଦାନ ରଖିଲେ। ମାତ୍ର ବାସ୍ତବ ରେ ସହେି ନଗରର ନାମ ଲଯିଶ ଥିଲା।
30 ଏଣୁ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ସହେି ଖୋଦିତ ପ୍ରତିମା ଆପଣାମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଯାଜକରୂପେ ସମାନେେ ମାଶାଙ୍କେର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଗେର୍ଶୋନ ବଂଶଧର ଯୋନାଥନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କଲେ। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟମାନେ ନିର୍ବାସିତ ହବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଯୋନାଥନ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ରମାନେ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗର ଯାଜକ ହାଇେ ରହିଲେ।
31 ଶୀଲୋ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଗୃହ ଥିବାର ସମସ୍ତ ସମୟ ସମାନେେ ଆପଣାମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ମୀଖାର ନିର୍ମିତ ସହେି ଖାଦେିତ ପ୍ରତିମା ସ୍ଥାପନ କରି ରଖିଲେ।
1 In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.
7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
12 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
16 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
18 And these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
20 And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
22 And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah’s house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
26 And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
28 And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
30 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
31 And they set them up Micah’s graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Luke 12 in Tamil and English
1 ಅಷ್ಟರಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸಂಖ್ಯವಾದ ಜನಸಮೂಹವು ಒಬ್ಬರ ಮೇಲೊಬ್ಬರು ತುಳಿದಾಡುವಷ್ಟು ಒಟ್ಟುಗೂಡಿ ಬಂದಿರಲಾಗಿ ಆತನು ಎಲ್ಲಾದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಮೊದಲು ತನ್ನ ಶಿಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ--ಫರಿಸಾಯರ ಕಪಟವೆಂಬ ಹುಳಿಯ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಎಚ್ಚರವಾಗಿರ್ರಿ.
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗದಂತೆ ಯಾವದೂ ಮರೆಯಾಗಿರು ವದಿಲ್ಲ; ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ತಿಳಿಯುವದಕ್ಕಾಗದಂತೆ ಯಾವದೂ ಗುಪ್ತವಾಗಿರುವದಿಲ್ಲ.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 ಆದದರಿಂದ ನೀವು ಕತ್ತಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವದನ್ನು ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದೀರೋ ಅದು ಬೆಳಕಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇಳಲ್ಪಡುವದು; ಕೋಣೆಗಳೊಳಗೆ ನೀವು ಕಿವಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದು ಮಾಳಿಗೆಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸ ಲ್ಪಡುವದು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದನು.
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 ನನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರಾದ ನಿಮಗೆ ನಾನು ಹೇಳುವದೇನಂದರೆ--ದೇಹವನ್ನು ಕೊಂದು ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚೇನೂ ಮಾಡಲಾರ ದವರಿಗೆ ಹೆದರಬೇಡಿರಿ.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 ಆದರೆ ಯಾರಿಗೆ ನೀವು ಭಯಪಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಮುಂದಾಗಿ ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಎಚ್ಚರಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಕೊಂದಮೇಲೆ ನರಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಧಿಕಾರವಿರುವಾತನಿಗೇ ಭಯಪಡಿರಿ; ಹೌದು, ಆತನಿಗೆ ಭಯಪಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 ಎರಡು ಕಾಸುಗಳಿಗೆ ಐದು ಗುಬ್ಬಿಗಳು ಮಾರಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತವಲ್ಲಾ? ಅವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದಾದರೂ ದೇವರ ಮುಂದೆ ಮರೆತುಹೋಗುವದಿಲ್ಲ.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಲೆಯ ಕೂದಲುಗಳು ಸಹ ಲೆಕ್ಕಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿವೆ. ಆದದರಿಂದ ಭಯಪಡಬೇಡಿರಿ; ನೀವು ಬಹಳ ಗುಬ್ಬಿಗಳಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಬೆಲೆಯುಳ್ಳವರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ನಾನೂ ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುವದೇನಂದರೆ--ಯಾವನಾದರೂ ಮನು ಷ್ಯರ ಮುಂದೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಂಡರೆ ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಕುಮಾರನು ಸಹ ದೇವದೂತರ ಮುಂದೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವನು.
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 ಆದರೆ ಯಾವನು ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಮುಂದೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಲ್ಲಗಳೆಯುವನೋ ಅವನು ದೇವದೂತರ ಮುಂದೆ ಅಲ್ಲಗಳೆಯಲ್ಪಡುವನು.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 ಯಾವನಾದರೂ ಮನುಷ್ಯಕುಮಾರನಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧ ವಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದರೆ ಅದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷಮಿಸ ಲ್ಪಡುವದು; ಆದರೆ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧಾತ್ಮನಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ದೂಷಣೆ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಅದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷಮಿಸಲ್ಪ ಡುವದಿಲ್ಲ.
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11 ಅವರು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಸಭಾ ಮಂದಿರಗಳಿಗೂ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಗಳ ಮುಂದೆಯೂ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳ ಮುಂದೆಯೂ ತಂದಾಗ ಹೇಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಯಾವದನ್ನು ಉತ್ತರಕೊಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಏನು ಹೇಳಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸಬೇಡಿರಿ.
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅದೇ ಗಳಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಹೇಳಬೇಕಾದದ್ದನ್ನು ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧಾತ್ಮನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಕಲಿಸುವನು ಅಂದನು.
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 ಆಗ ಗುಂಪಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಒಬ್ಬನು ಆತನಿಗೆ--ಬೋಧ ಕನೇ, ಆಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಪಾಲುಮಾಡಿ ನನಗೆ ಕೊಡುವಂತೆ ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳು ಅಂದನು.
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಆತನು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ಮನುಷ್ಯನೇ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಪಾಲುಮಾಡುವ ವನನ್ನಾಗಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಯಾರು ಮಾಡಿದರು ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದನು.
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಆತನು ಅವರಿಗೆ--ಜಾಗ್ರತೆ ಯಾಗಿದ್ದು ಲೋಭಕ್ಕೆ ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆಯಾಗಿರ್ರಿ; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೆ ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯಾದ ಆಸ್ತಿಯು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಜೀವಾಧಾರವಲ್ಲ ಅಂದನು.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 ಆತನು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಸಾಮ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ--ಒಬ್ಬಾ ನೊಬ್ಬ ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯವಂತನ ಭೂಮಿಯು ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆಯಿತು.
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 ಆಗ ಅವನು ತನ್ನೊಳಗೆ--ನಾನೇನು ಮಾಡಲಿ? ನನಗಿರುವ ಬೆಳೆಯನ್ನು ತುಂಬಿಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನನಗೆ ಸ್ಥಳವಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಆಲೋಚಿಸಿ ಅವನು--
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 ನಾನು ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇನೆ; ನನ್ನ ಕಣಜಗಳನ್ನು ಕೆಡವಿ ದೊಡ್ಡವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಬೆಳೆಯನ್ನೂ ನನ್ನ ಸರಕುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಕೂಡಿಸಿಟು
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ--ಆತ್ಮವೇ, ಅನೇಕ ವರುಷ ಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ನಿನಗೆ ಬಹಳ ಸರಕು ಇಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆ; ನೀನು ವಿಶ್ರಮಿಸಿಕೋ, ತಿನ್ನು, ಕುಡಿ ಆನಂದವಾಗಿರು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವೆನು ಎಂದು ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡನು.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 ಆದರೆ ದೇವರು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ಬುದ್ಧಿಹೀನನೇ, ಈ ರಾತ್ರಿಯೇ ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಣವು ನಿನ್ನಿಂದ ಕೇಳಲ್ಪಡುವದು; ಆಗ ನೀನು ಕೂಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡವುಗಳು ಯಾರಿಗಾಗುವವು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 ತನಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಸಂಪತ್ತನ್ನು ಕೂಡಿಸಿಟ್ಟು ಕೊಂಡು ದೇವರ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯವಂತನಾಗ ದಿರುವವನು ಇವನಂತೆಯೇ ಇರುವನು ಅಂದನು.
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ಶಿಷ್ಯರಿಗೆ--ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಣಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ತಿನ್ನಬೇಕು ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೇಹಕ್ಕೆ ಏನು ಹೊದ್ದು ಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಚಿಂತೆ ಮಾಡಬೇಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 ಊಟಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಪ್ರಾಣವೂ ವಸ್ತ್ರಕ್ಕಿಂತ ದೇಹವೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದು.
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 ಕಾಗೆಗಳನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿರಿ; ಅವು ಬಿತ್ತುವದಿಲ್ಲ, ಕೊಯ್ಯುವದಿಲ್ಲ; ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಉಗ್ರಾಣವಾಗಲೀ ಕಣಜವಾಗಲೀ ಇಲ್ಲ; ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ ದೇವರು ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಆಹಾರ ಕೊಡುತ್ತಾನೆ; ನೀವು ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳಿಗಿಂತ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನವರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಲ್ಲಾ.
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 ನಿಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವನು ಚಿಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿ ತನ್ನ ನೀಳಕ್ಕೆ ಒಂದು ಮೊಳವನ್ನು ಕೂಡಿಸಿ ಯಾನು?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ಅತ್ಯಲ್ಪವಾಗಿರುವದನ್ನು ನೀವು ಮಾಡಲಾರದವರಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ಉಳಿದವುಗಳಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ನೀವು ಚಿಂತೆಮಾಡುವದೇನು?
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 ಹೂವುಗಳು ಹೇಗೆ ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತವೆ ಯೋಚಿಸಿರಿ; ಅವು ಕಷ್ಟಪಡು ವದಿಲ್ಲ, ನೂಲುವದಿಲ್ಲ; ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ ಸೊಲೊಮೋ ನನು ತನ್ನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವೈಭವದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಹ ಇವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದರಂತೆಯಾದರೂ ಧರಿಸಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 ಓ ಅಲ್ಪ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಿಗಳೇ, ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ಈಹೊತ್ತು ಹೊಲದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದು ನಾಳೆ ಒಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕಲ್ಪಡುವ ಹುಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ದೇವರು ಈ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಉಡಿಸಿದರೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಉಡಿಸುವನಲ್ಲವೇ?
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 ನೀವು ಏನು ತಿನ್ನಬೇಕು ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ನೀವು ಏನು ಕುಡಿಯಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ತವಕಪಡಬೇಡಿರಿ; ನೀವು ಅನುಮಾನದ ಮನಸ್ಸಿನವ ರಾಗಿರಬೇಡಿರಿ.
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಇವೆಲ್ಲವುಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಲೋಕದ ಜನಾಂಗಗಳು ಬಹಳವಾಗಿ ತವಕಪಡುತ್ತಾರೆ; ಆದರೆ ಇವುಗಳು ನಿಮಗೆ ಅಗತ್ಯವೆಂದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯು ಬಲ್ಲನು.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 ಆದರೆ ನೀವು ದೇವರ ರಾಜ್ಯವನ್ನೇ ಹುಡುಕಿರಿ. ಆಗ ಇವೆಲ್ಲವುಗಳು ನಿಮಗೆ ಕೂಡಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವವು.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಹಿಂಡೇ, ಭಯಪಡಬೇಡ; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನಿಮಗೆ ರಾಜ್ಯವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯು ಸಂತೋಷವುಳ್ಳವನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 ನಿಮಗಿರು ವದನ್ನು ಮಾರಿ ದಾನಮಾಡಿರಿ; ನಿಮಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಹಳೇದಾಗದಂಥ ಚೀಲಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅಳಿದುಹೋಗದಂಥ ಸಂಪತ್ತನ್ನೂ ಪರಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ; ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳ್ಳನು ಸವಿಾಪಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವದಿಲ್ಲ, ನುಸಿಯು ಕೆಡಿಸು ವದಿಲ್ಲ.
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಪತ್ತು ಇರುವಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹೃದಯವು ಸಹ ಇರುವದು.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಡುಗಳು ಕಟ್ಟಿರಲಿ; ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೀಪಗಳು ಉರಿಯುತ್ತಿರಲಿ.
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 ನೀವಂತೂ ತಮ್ಮ ಒಡೆಯನು ಮದುವೆಯಿಂದ ಯಾವಾಗ ಹಿಂದಿರುಗುವನೋ ಎಂದು ಕಾಯುವ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನು ಬಂದು ತಟ್ಟಿದಾಗ ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ಅವನಿಗೆ ತೆರೆಯುವ ಮನುಷ್ಯರಂತೆ ಇರ್ರಿ.
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 ಒಡೆಯನು ಬಂದಾಗ ಯಾರು ಎಚ್ಚರವಾಗಿರುವದನ್ನು ಅವನು ಕಾಣುವನೋ ಆ ಸೇವಕರು ಧನ್ಯರು; ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ, ಅವನು ಬಂದು ನಡುಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡು ಅವರನ್ನು ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಕೂಡ್ರಿಸಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ ತಾನೇ ಉಪಚರಿಸುವನು.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 ಅವನು ಎರಡನೇ ಜಾವದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲವೇ ಮೂರನೇ ಜಾವದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂದು ಅವರನ್ನು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಕಂಡರೆ ಆ ಸೇವಕರು ಧನ್ಯರು.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 ಕಳ್ಳನು ಯಾವಗಳಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬರುವ ನೆಂಬದು ಮನೇ ಯಜಮಾನನಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದರೆ ಅವನು ಎಚ್ಚರವಾಗಿದ್ದು ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಯನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಾಕೊರೆಯ ಗೊಡಿಸುತ್ತಿರಲಿಲ್ಲವೆಂಬದನ್ನು ತಿಳುಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 ಆದ ಕಾರಣ ನೀವು ಸಹ ಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಿರ್ರಿ; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ನೀವು ನೆನಸದ ಗಳಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯಕುಮಾರನು ಬರುತ್ತಾನೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 ಆಗ ಪೇತ್ರನು ಆತನಿಗೆ--ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನೀನು ಈ ಸಾಮ್ಯವನ್ನು ನಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೀಯೋ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೀಯೋ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 ಕರ್ತನು--ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ತಕ್ಕಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಪಾಲಿನ ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಒಡೆಯನು ತನ್ನ ಮನೆಯಮೇಲೆ ನೇಮಿಸುವ ನಂಬಿಗಸ್ತನೂ ವಿವೇಕಿಯೂ ಆಗಿರುವ ಮನೇವಾರ್ತೆಯವನು ಯಾರು?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 ತನ್ನ ಒಡೆಯನು ಬಂದಾಗ ಯಾವನು ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾಡುವದನ್ನು ಕಾಣುವನೋ ಆ ಸೇವಕನು ಧನ್ಯನು;
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 ಅವನು ತನಗಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವನನ್ನು ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ನೇಮಿಸುವನು ಎಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಸತ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 ಆದರೆ ಆ ಸೇವಕನು--ನನ್ನ ಒಡೆಯನು ಬರುವದಕ್ಕೆ ತಡಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ ಎಂದು ತನ್ನ ಹೃದಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂದು ಕೊಂಡು ಗಂಡಾಳು ಹೆಣ್ಣಾಳುಗಳನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆಯು ವದಕ್ಕೂ ತಿಂದು ಕುಡಿದು ಮತ್ತನಾಗುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದರೆ
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 ಅವನು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸದ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ತಿಳಿಯದ ಗಳಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಆ ಸೇವಕನ ಒಡೆಯನು ಬಂದು ಅವನನ್ನು ಕಠಿಣವಾಗಿ ಛೇದಿಸಿ ಅವನಿಗೆ ನಂಬಿಕೆಯಿಲ್ಲದವರ ಕೂಡ ಪಾಲನ್ನು ನೇಮಕ ಮಾಡುವನು.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ತನ್ನ ಒಡೆಯನ ಚಿತ್ತವನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದು ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಸಿದ್ಧಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳದೆ ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಅವನ ಚಿತ್ತಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಮಾಡದೆ ಇದ್ದ ಸೇವಕನು ಬಹಳ ಪೆಟ್ಟುಗಳನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವನು.
And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 ಆದರೆ ಪೆಟ್ಟುಗಳಿಗೆ ಯೋಗ್ಯವಾದವುಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಯದೆ ಮಾಡಿದವನು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಪೆಟ್ಟುಗಳನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವನು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಯಾವನಿಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚುಕೊಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆಯೋ ಅವನಿಂದ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಕೇಳಲ್ಪಡು ವದು; ಯಾವನಿಗೆ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಿರುವರೋ ಅವನಿಂದ ಅವರು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಕೇಳುವ
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 ನಾನು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೆಂಕಿಯನ್ನು ಹಾಕುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಬಂದೆನು; ಅದು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಹೊತ್ತಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದರೆ ಮತ್ತೇನು ನನಗೆ ಬೇಕು?
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 ಆದರೆ ನಾನು ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಮಾಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಒಂದು ಬಾಪ್ತಿಸ್ಮ ಉಂಟು; ಅದು ನೆರವೇರುವ ತನಕ ನಾನು ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಇಕ್ಕಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದೇನೆ!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 ನಾನು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಸಮಾಧಾನವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಬಂದಿದ್ದೇ ನೆಂದು ನೀವು ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತೀರೋ? ಇಲ್ಲ, ಭೇದವನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದೇನೆಂದು ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ.
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 ಇಂದಿನಿಂದ ಒಂದು ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಐದುಮಂದಿ ಭೇದವಾಗಿ ಇಬ್ಬರಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಮೂವರು ಮೂವರಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಇರುವರು.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 ಮಗನಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ತಂದೆಯೂ ತಂದೆಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಮಗನೂ ಮಗಳಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ತಾಯಿಯೂ ತಾಯಿಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಮಗಳೂ ತನ್ನ ಸೊಸೆಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಅತ್ತೆಯೂ ತನ್ನ ಅತ್ತೆಗೆ ವಿರೋಧವಾಗಿ ಸೊಸೆಯೂ ವಿಭಾಗಿಸ ಲ್ಪಡುವರು.
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 ಆತನು ಇನ್ನು ಜನರಿಗೆ--ನೀವು ಪಶ್ಚಿಮದ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ಏಳುವ ಮೋಡವನ್ನು ನೋಡು ವಾಗ--ಮಳೆ ಬರುವದೆಂದು ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ಅನ್ನುತ್ತೀರಿ; ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಗುವದು.
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 ದಕ್ಷಿಣಗಾಳಿ ಬೀಸುವದನ್ನು ನೀವು ನೋಡುವಾಗ--ಸೆಕೆಯಾಗುವದು ಎಂದು ನೀವು ಅನ್ನುತ್ತೀರಿ, ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ.
And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 ಕಪಟಿಗಳೇ, ಭೂಮ್ಯಾಕಾಶಗಳ ಭಾವವನ್ನು ಅರಿತು ಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೀರಿ; ಆದರೆ ಈ ಕಾಲವನ್ನು ನೀವು ಅರಿತು ಕೊಳ್ಳದಿರುವದು ಹೇಗೆ?
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 ಹೌದು, ನಿಮ್ಮಷ್ಟಕ್ಕೆ ನೀವು ಸರಿಯಾದದ್ದನ್ನು ಯಾಕೆ ನಿರ್ಣಯಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಿಲ್ಲ?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 ನೀನು ನಿನ್ನ ಎದುರಾಳಿಯ ಸಂಗಡ ನ್ಯಾಯಾ ಧಿಪತಿಯ ಎದುರಿಗೆ ಹೋಗುವಾಗ ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಅವನಿಂದ ಬಿಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಮಾಡು; ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಅವನು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿಪತಿಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಬಲವಂತವಾಗಿ ಎಳೆದಾನು; ಆಗ ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧಿ ಪತಿಯು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗೆ ಒಪ್ಪಿಸಾನು ಮತ್ತು ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಸೆ
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 ನೀನು ಕೊನೆಯ ಕಾಸನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸುವವರೆಗೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಬರುವದೇ ಇಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ ಅಂದನು.
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
