Luke 7
1 ଯୀଶୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯାହାସବୁ ଶୁଣଇବୋକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ, ସେ ସମସ୍ତ କହି ସାରିବା ପରେ ସେ କଫର୍ନାହୂମ ଚାଲିଗଲେ।
2 ସେ ସମୟରେ କଫର୍ନାହୂମ ରେ ଜଣେ ଶତ ସନୋପତି ଥିଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କର ଗୋଟିଏ ଚାକର ଏତେ ବମାରେ ଥିଲା ଯେ ସେ ପ୍ରାୟ ମରିୟିବା ଅବସ୍ଥା ରେ ଥିଲା। ଶତ ସନୋପତି ଚାକରଟିକୁ ଖୁବ୍ ଭଲ ପାଉଥିଲେ।
3 ଶତ ସନୋପତି ଜଣକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶୁଣି ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ କେତକେ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଯିହୂଦୀନେତାଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଲେ। ସେ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ ଯେ ଲୋକେ ଯାଇ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଆସିବାକୁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କରନ୍ତୁ ଓ ଯୀଶୁ ଆସି ଚାକରଟିର ଜୀବନ ରକ୍ଷା କରିଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।
4 ସହେି ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ନେତାମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଗଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁନୟ ପୂର୍ବକ ଅନୁ ରୋଧ କରି କହିଲେ, ଶତ ସନୋପତି ଜଣକ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇବାକୁ ଯୋଗ୍ଯ।
5 ସେ ଆମ୍ଭ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଭଲ ପାଆନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ସମାଜଗୃହ ତିଆରି କରିଛନ୍ତି।
6 ତେଣୁ ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସହିତ ୟିବାପାଇଁ ବାହାରି ପଡିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ଶତ ସନୋପତି ଘର ପାଖାପାଖି ଆସି ପହଞ୍ଚି ଯାଇଥବା ସମୟରେ ଶତ ସନୋପତି ଜଣକ ନିଜ ବନ୍ଧୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଏହି କଥା କହିବା ପାଇଁ ପଠାଇଲେ, ପ୍ରଭୁ, ନିଜକୁ ଆଉ କଷ୍ଟ ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ ନାହିଁ। କାରଣ ମୁଁ ଏତେ ଭଲ ନୁହେଁ ଯେ ଆପଣ ମାେ ଘରକୁ ଆସିବେ।
7 କବଳେ ସଇେଥିପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ନିଜେ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ନିଜକୁ ଯୋଗ୍ଯ ମନେ କରି ନ ଥିଲି। ଆପଣ କବଳେ ଆଦେଶ ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ ଓ ମାରେ ଚାକରଟି ଭଲ ହାଇଯେିବ।
8 ମୁଁ ଆପଣଙ୍କର ଅଧିକାର ବିଷୟ ରେ ବୁଝି ପାରୁଛି। ମୁଁ ନିଜେ ଜଣେ ଅଧିକାରୀଙ୍କ ଅଧିନ ରେ କାମ କରୁଛି ଏବଂ ମାେ ଅଧିନ ରେ ମଧ୍ଯ କେତକେ ସୈନ୍ଯ ରହିଛନ୍ତି। ମୁଁ ଯଦି ଜଣେ ସୈନ୍ଯକୁ କ ହେ, 'ଯାଅ' ତବେେ ସେ ଚାଲିଯାଏ। ମୁଁ ଯଦି ଆଉ ଜଣକୁ କ ହେ ଆସ ତବେେ ସେ ଗ୍ଭଲିଆ ସେ। ମୁଁ ଯଦି ମାେ ଚାକରକୁ କୁ ହେ, 'ଏହା କର', ତବେେ ସେ ତାହା କରେ।
9 ଯୀଶୁ ଏହା ଶୁଣିସାରି ବଡ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କରୁଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଆଡକୁ ବୁଲି ପଡି କହିଲସେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହି ରଖୁଛି ଯେ ଏଭଳି ବିଶ୍ବାସ ମାେତେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ରେ ମଧ୍ଯ ମିଳିନାହିଁ।
10 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଯାଇଥିଲା, ସମାନେେ ଘରକୁ ଫରେିୟିବା ପରେ ଦେଖିଲେ ଯେ ଚାକରଟି ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇେ ଯାଇଛି।
11 ତା'ପର ଦିନ ଯୀଶୁ ନାଇନ ନଗରକୁ ଗଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସହିତ ତାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଓ ବହୁ ସଂଖ୍ଯା ରେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯାଉଥିଲେ।
12 ଯୀଶୁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ନଗରଦ୍ବାର ନିକଟରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ ସେତବେେଳେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଶବ ନିଆ ଯାଉଥିବାର ସେ ଦେଖିଲେ। ସେ ତା' ବିଧବା ମାଆର ଏକମାତ୍ର ସନ୍ତାନ ଥିଲା। ପୁଅକୁ ନିଆ ଯାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସଠାେରେ ତା ମାଆ ସହିତ ମଧ୍ଯ ନଗରର ବହୁ ସଂଖ୍ଯକ ଲୋକ ଥିଲେ।
13 ସହେି ବିଧବାକୁ ଦେଖି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମନ ରେ କରୁଣା ଜାତ ହେଲା। ସେ ତାକୁ କହିଲେ, କାନ୍ଦ ନାହିଁ।
14 ଯୀଶୁ କୋକଇେ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଇ ତାହା ଛୁଇଁଲେ। କୋକଇେ କାନ୍ଧଇେ ନେଉଥିବା ଲୋକେ ଅଟକିଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ମୃତ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ କହିଲେ, ୟୁବକ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି ଠିଆ ହୁଅ।
15 ମୃତ ପୁତ୍ର ଉଠି ବସିଲା। ସେ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା। ଯୀଶୁ ତାକୁ ତା' ମାଆ ହାତ ରେ ଦଇେ ଦେଲେ।
16 ସବୁଲୋକେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମହିମା ଗାନ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ଜଣେ ମହାନ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଛନ୍ତିା ଆହୁରି ମଧ୍ଯ ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ନିଜ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଆସି ଯାଇଛନ୍ତି।
17 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଏହି ଖବର ୟିହୂଦା ଓ ଆଖପାଖ ସମସ୍ତ ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ରେ ପ୍ରଚାରିତ ହାଇଗେଲା।
18 ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୋହନଙ୍କୁ ଏ ସମସ୍ତ ଖବର ଜଣାଇଲେ। ଯୋହନ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଦୁଇଜଣ ଶିଷ୍ଯଙ୍କୁ ଡକାଇଲେ।
19 ଯୋହନ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଏହି କଥା ପଚାରି ପଠାଇଲେ: ଯାହାଙ୍କର ଆସିବାର ଥିଲା, ଆପଣ କ'ଣ ସହେି ଲୋକ ନା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆଉ କାହାରି ଅପେକ୍ଷା ରେ ରହିବୁ?
20 ସେ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ବାପ୍ତିଜକ ଯୋହନ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖକୁ ଏହି ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ ପଚାରିବାକୁ ପଠାଇଲେ: 'ଯାହାଙ୍କର ଆସିବାର ଥିଲା, ଆପଣ କ'ଣ ସହେି ଲୋକ ନା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଆଉ ଅନ୍ୟ କାହାରି ଅପେକ୍ଷା ରେ ରହିବୁ?'
21 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଅନକେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ରୋଗରୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ, ବଦନୋ ଦୂର ଓ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମା କବଳରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରି ଦେଉଥିଲେ। ସେ ଅନକେ ଅନ୍ଧକୁ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିଶକ୍ତି ଦେଉଥିଲେ।
22 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ସହେି ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଯାଅ ଓ ଏଠା ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯାହା ସବୁ ଦେଖିଲ ଓ ଶୁଣିଲ, ତାହା ଯୋହନଙ୍କୁ ଯାଇ ଜଣାଅ। ଅନ୍ଧମାନେ ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛନ୍ତି, େଛାଟମାନେ ଚାଲି ପାରୁଛନ୍ତି, କୁଷ୍ଠ ରୋଗୀ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇେ ଯାଉଛନ୍ତି, ବଧି ରେଲାକ ଶୁଣିପାରୁଛନ୍ତି, ମରିଯାଉଥିବା ଲୋକକୁ ପୁଣି ଜୀବନ ଦିଆଯାଉଛି ଏବଂ ଗରିବ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯର ସୁସମାଚାର ଶୁଣଇେ ଦିଆଯାଉଛି।
23 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ମାେତେ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବ, ସେ ଧନ୍ଯ।
24 ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଚାଲିୟିବା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ କହିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲେ: ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମରୁଭୂମିରେ କ'ଣ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଯାଇଥିଲ? କ'ଣ ପବନ ରେ ଦୋହଲୁଥିବା ନଳଗଛ?
25 ତା'ନ ହେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ସଠାେକୁ ଯାଇଥିଲ? କ'ଣ ଉତ୍ତମ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପିନ୍ଧିଥିବା ଜଣେ ଲୋକକୁ? ନା, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଉତ୍ତମ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପିନ୍ଧନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ଆମାଦେପ୍ରମାଦେ ରେ ଜୀବନ କଟାନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ତ ରାଜାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରାସାଦ ମାନଙ୍କ ରେ ଥାଆନ୍ତି।
26 ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କ'ଣ ଦେଖିବାପାଇଁ ବାହାରି ଯାଇଥିଲ? କ'ଣ ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କୁ? ହଁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି। ଯୋହନ ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ମହାନ୍ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
27 ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଏହା ଲଖାେଅଛି:
28 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି, ନାରୀ ଗର୍ଭ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜାତ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ଯୋହନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ମହାନ୍ କହେି ନାହିଁ। ତଥାପି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯର ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ସବୁଠାରୁ େଛାଟ, ସେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଯୋହନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ମହାନ।
29 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ ଶୁଣୁଥିବା ସବୁଲୋକ ସ୍ବୀକାର କଲେ ଯେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ ସବୁଠାରୁ ଉତ୍ତମ। ଏପରିକି କର ଆଦାୟକାରୀମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଏଥି ରେ ଏକମତ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ବାପ୍ତିଜିତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ,
30 କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଦତ୍ତ ଯୋଜନାକୁ ଅସ୍ବୀକାର କଲେ ଓ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ବାପ୍ତିସ୍ମା ଗ୍ରହଣ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
31 ତବେେ ମୁଁ ପୁଣି ଏହି ୟୁଗର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ କ'ଣ କହିବି? ମୁଁ କାହା ସହିତ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ତୁଳନା କରିବି? ସମାନେେ କାହା ଭଳି ହବେ?
32 ସମାନେେ ବଜାର ରେ, ବସିଥିବା ସହେି ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି, ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତରୁ ଦଳେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଦଳକୁ କହନ୍ତି:
33 ବାପ୍ତିଜକ ଯୋହନ ଆସିଲେ। ସେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି ଖାଉନଥିଲେ କିମ୍ବା ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପିଉନଥିଲେ। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କହୁଛ ଯେ, 'ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦହେ ରେ ଭୂତ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିଛି।'
34 ପୁଣି ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି ଖାଇଲେ ଓ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପିଇଲେ। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କହୁଛ, ' ଦେଖ, ଏ ଲୋକ ଜଣେ ପଟେୁ ଓ ଗୋଟିଏ ମଦୁଆ। କର ଆଦାୟକାରୀ ଓ ପାପୀମାନେ ତା'ର ସାଙ୍ଗ ଅଟନ୍ତି।'
35 କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣା କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦ୍ବାରା ଜ୍ଞାନ ଯଥାର୍ଥ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହାଇେଥାଏ।'
36 ଫାରୁଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ନିଜ ସହିତ ଖାଇବା ପାଇଁ ନିମନ୍ତ୍ରଣ କଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ଫାରୁଶୀଙ୍କ ଘରକୁ ଗଲେ ଓ ଖାଇବା ପାଇଁ ବସିଲେ।
37 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ସହେି ନଗର ରେ ଜଣେ ପାପୀ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ଥିଲା। ସେ ଜାଣିପାରିଲା ଯେ ଯୀଶୁ ଫାରୁଶୀଙ୍କ ଘ ରେ ଖାଉଛନ୍ତି। ତେଣୁ ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ଗୋଟିଏ ସ୍ଫଟିକ ପାତ୍ର ରେ କିଛି ଅତର ଆଣିଲା।
38 ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପଛଆଡେ ଗୋଡ ପାଖ ରେ ଠିଆ ହେଲା। ସେ କାନ୍ଦୁଥିଲା। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଦ ତା ଲୁହ ରେ ଧୋଇ ଦଲୋ। ନିଜ ମୁଣ୍ଡର ବାଳ ରେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଦ ପୋଛି ଦଲୋ। ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଦ ରେ ବହୁବାର ଚୁମ୍ବନ ଦଲୋ ଓ ପାଦ ଉପରେ ଅତର ଢାଳି ଦଲୋ।
39 ଯେଉଁ ଫାରୁଶୀ ଜଣକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ନିଜ ଘରକୁ ଡାକିଥିଲେ, ସେ ଏସବୁ ଦେଖିଲେ। ସେ ମନେ ମନେ ଭାବିଲେ, ଯୀଶୁ ଯଦି ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ହାଇେଥା'ନ୍ତେ, ତବେେ ସେ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ଜାଣି ପାରନ୍ତେ ଯେ, ଯେଉଁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଛୁଇଁଛି ସେ ଜଣେ ପାପୀନୀ।
40 ଯୀଶୁ ଫାରୁଶୀଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଶିମାନେ, ମାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କିଛି କହିବାର ଅଛି।
41 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, କୌଣସି ସାହୁକାର ପାଖରୁ ଦୁଇଜଣ ଖାତକ କରଜ ନଇେଥିଲେ। ଜଣେ ପାଞ୍ଚଶହରୂପା ଟଙ୍କା କରଜ ନଇେଥିଲା ଓ ଆଉ ଜଣେ ପଚାଶଟି ରୂପା ଟଙ୍କା ନଇେଥିଲା।
42 ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଖ ରେ ଟଙ୍କା ନଥିବାରୁ ସମାନେେ ଋଣ ପରିଶାଧେ କରି ପାରୁନଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସାହୁକାର ଦୁଇଜଣଙ୍କୁ ଋଣ ମୁକ୍ତ କରି ଦେଲେ। ତବେେ ଏ ଦୁଇଜଣଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ କିଏ ସାହୁକାରଙ୍କୁ ଅଧିକ ଭଲ ପାଇବ?
43 ଶିମାନେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ମୁଁ ଭାବୁଛି, ସାହୁକାର ଯାହାକୁ ଅଧିକ ଟଙ୍କା ଛାଡି ଦେଲେ, ସହେି ଲୋକକୁ ଅଧିକା ଭଲ ପାଇବ।
44 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ଆଡକୁ ବୁଲିପଡି ଶିମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟିକୁ ଦେଖୁଛ? ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଘରକୁ ଆସିଲି। ଅଥଚ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ଗୋଡ ଧୋଇବାକୁ ପାଣି ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଦଲେ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଓ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ମାରେ ପାଦକୁ ଲୁହ ରେ ଧୋଇ ଦଲୋ। ଏବଂ ତା ବାଳ ରେ ପୋଛି ଦଲୋ।
45 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ଚୁମ୍ବନ ଦଲେ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ସମୟରୁ ମୁଁ ଭିତରକୁ ଆସିଲିଣି, ସେସମୟରୁ ଏ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସେ ମାରେ ପାଦ ରେ ଚୁମ୍ବନ ଦବୋ ବନ୍ଦ କରିନାହିଁ।
46 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ରେ ତଲେ ଲଗାଇଲ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଏ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ମାେ ପାଦ ରେ ଅତର ଲଗାଇଲା।
47 ଏଣୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି ଯେ, ତା'ର ଆନକେ ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରିଦିଆଗଲା। ଏ କଥା ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ କାରଣ ସେ ଅଗାଧ ପ୍ ରମେ ଦଖାଇେଛି। ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ କ୍ଷମା ପାଇବାପାଇଁ କମ୍ ଆବଶ୍ଯକତା ଅନୁଭବ କରିଥାଏ, ସେ କ୍ଷମା ପାଇବା ବେଳେ କମ୍ ପ୍ ରମେ ଅନୁଭବ କରିଥାଏ।
48 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟିକୁ କହିଲେ, ତୋର ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରି ଦିଆଗଲା।
49 ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଭୋଜନ କରୁଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ମନେ ମନେ ଭାବିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ଏ ଲୋକ ନିଜକୁ କ'ଣ ଭାବୁଛି? ସେ କିପରି ପାପଗୁଡିକୁ କ୍ଷମା କରିପାରିବ?
50 ଯୀଶୁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟିକୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିଥିବାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପାପରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଅଛ। ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ଯାଅ।
1 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Luke 12 in Tamil and English
1 அத்தருணத்திலே அநேகமாயிரம் ஜனங்கள் ஒருவரை ஒருவர் மிதிக்கத்தக்கதாகக் கூடிவந்திருக்கையில், அவர் முதலாவது தம்முடைய சீஷரை நோக்கி: நீங்கள் மாயமாகிய பரிசேயருடைய புளித்தமாவைக்குறித்து எச்சரிக்கையாயிருங்கள்.
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 வெளியாக்கப்படாத மறைபொருளுமில்லை, அறியப்படாத இரகசியமுமில்லை.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 ஆதலால், நீங்கள் இருளிலே பேசினது எதுவோ, அது வெளிச்சத்திலே கேட்கப்படும்; நீங்கள் அறைகளில் காதிலே சொன்னது எதுவோ, அது வீடுகளின்மேல் கூறப்படும்.
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 என் சிநேகிதராகிய உங்களுக்கு நான் சொல்லுகிறேன்: சரீரத்தைக் கொலைசெய்து, அதன்பின்பு அதிகமாக ஒன்றும் செய்யத் திராணியில்லாதவர்களுக்குப் பயப்படாதிருங்கள்.
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 நீங்கள் இன்னாருக்குப் பயப்படவேண்டுமென்று உங்களுக்குக் காண்பிக்கிறேன்: கொலைசெய்தபின்பு நரகத்திலே தள்ள வல்லமையுள்ளவருக்குப் பயப்படுங்கள்; ஆம், அவருக்கே பயப்படுங்களென்று உங்களுக்குச் சொல்லுகிறேன்.
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 இரண்டு காசுக்கு ஐந்து அடைக்கலான் குருவிகளை விற்கிறார்களல்லவா? அவைகளில் ஒன்றாகிலும் தேவனால் மறக்கப்படுகிறதில்லை.
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 உங்கள் தலையிலுள்ள மயிரெல்லாம் எண்ணப்பட்டிருக்கிறது, ஆகையால் பயப்படாதிருங்கள், அநேகம் அடைக்கலான் குருவிகளைப்பார்க்கிலும் நீங்கள் விசேஷித்தவர்களாயிருக்கிறீர்கள்.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 அன்றியும் நான் உங்களுக்குச் சொல்லுகிறேன்: மனுஷர் முன்பாக என்னை அறிக்கைபண்ணுகிறவன் எவனோ அவனை மனுஷகுமாரனும் தேவதூதர் முன்பாக அறிக்கைபண்ணுவார்.
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 மனுஷர் முன்பாக என்னை மறுதலிக்கிறவன் தேவதூதர் முன்பாக மறுதலிக்கப்படுவான்.
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 எவனாகிலும் மனுஷகுமாரனுக்கு விரோதமான விசேஷத்தைச் சொன்னால் அது அவனுக்கு மன்னிக்கப்படும்; பரிசுத்த ஆவிக்கு விரோதமாய்த் தூஷணஞ்சொல்லுகிறவனுக்கோ மன்னிக்கப்படுவதில்லை.
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 அன்றியும், ஜெபஆலயத்தலைவர்களுக்கும் துரைத்தனத்தார்களுக்கும் அதிகாரமுள்ளவர்களுக்கும் முன்பாக உங்களைக் கொண்டுபோய் விடும்போது: எப்படி, என்னத்தை மாறுத்தரமாகச் சொல்லுவோம் என்றும், எதைப் பேசுவோமென்றும் கவலைப்படாதிருங்கள்.
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 நீங்கள் பேசவேண்டியவைகளைப் பரிசுத்த ஆவியானவர் அந்நேரத்திலே உங்களுக்குப் போதிப்பார் என்றார்.
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
