Luke 8
1 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଯୀଶୁ ଏହାପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ନଗର ନଗର, ଗାଁ ଗାଁ ବୁଲି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯର ସୁସମାଚାର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶୁଣାଇଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ବାରଜଣ ପ୍ ରରେିତ ମଧ୍ଯ ରହିଥିଲେ।
2 କେତକେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକ ମଧ୍ଯ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଥିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମା କବଳରୁ ତଥା ରୋଗରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିଥିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣକର ନାଁ ଥିଲା ମରିୟମ। ସେ ମଗ୍ଦଲା ସହରର ବାସିନ୍ଦା ଥିଲେ। ତା'ଠାରୁ ସାତଟି ଭୁତ ବାହାର କରା ଯାଇଥିଲା।
3 େ ହରୋଦଙ୍କ ଗୁମାସ୍ତା ଖୂଜାଙ୍କ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ୟୋହାନ୍ନା, ଶୋଶାନ୍ନା, ପୁଣି ଏହିଭଳି ଆହୁରି ଅନକେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ମଧ୍ଯ ଯାଉଥିଲେ। ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯୀଶୁ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପ୍ ରରେିତମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ନିଜ ଟଙ୍କା ଖର୍ଚ୍ଚ କରୁଥିଲେ।
4 ବହୁ ଲୋକ ଆସି ଜମା ହାଇଗେଲେ। ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ନଗରରୁ ଲୋକେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଏହି ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତ କହିଲେ:
5 ଜଣେ କୃଷକ ବୀଜ ବୁଣିବାକୁ ବାହାରିଲା। ସେ ବୀଜ ବୁଣିଲା ବେଳେ କିଛି ବୀଜ ରାସ୍ତା କଡ ରେ ଯାଇ ପଡିଲା। ଏହି ବୀଜଗୁଡିକ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପାଦ ରେ ଚକଟି ହାଇଗେଲା ଓ ଚଢଇମାନେେ ସଗେୁଡିକୁ ଖାଇଗଲେ।
6 କିଛି ବୀଜ ପଥର ଉପରେ ପଡିଲା ସେଥିରୁ ଗଜା ବାହାରିଲା କିନ୍ତୁ ଜଳ ଅଭାବରୁ ମରିଗଲା।
7 କିଛି ବୀଜ କଣ୍ଟା ବୁଦା ରେ ପଡିଲା। ବୀଜ ଗଜାହାଇେ ଗଛ ବଢିଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ କଣ୍ଟା ବୁଦା ମଧ୍ଯ ତା' ସହିତ ବଢିଲା ଓ ଶଷେ ରେ ତାକୁ ଚାପି ପକାଇଲା।
8 ଅନ୍ୟ ବୀଜତକ ଭଲ ମାଟି ରେ ପଡିଲା। ତାହା ଗଛ ହାଇେ ବଢିଲା। ଏଥିରୁ ଶ ହେ ଗୁଣ ଅଧିକ ଶସ୍ଯ ମିଳିଲା।
9 ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ଏହି ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତର ଅର୍ଥ କ'ଣ?
10 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯର ନିଗୁଢ ବିଷୟ ଜାଣିବା ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବଛା ହାଇେଛ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି ରହସ୍ଯ ବିଷୟ ରେ କହିବାକୁ ମୁଁ ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରୁଛି।
11 ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତର ଏହାହିଁ ଅର୍ଥ: ବୀଜ ଦେଉଛି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ।
12 ଯେଉଁ ବୀଜ ରାସ୍ତା କଡ ରେ ପଡିଥିଲା, ତାହା ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ଯ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ତା'ପରେ ଶୟତାନ ଆ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟରୁ ଉପଦେଶ ବାହାର କରି ନଇଯାେଏ। ତେଣୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରି ନପାରି ଉଦ୍ଧାର ପାଆନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
13 ଯେଉଁ ବୀଜ ପଥର ଉପରେ ପଡିଥିଲା, ତାହା ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି ଓ ଆନନ୍ଦ ରେ ତାହା ଗ୍ରହଣ କରନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ତା'ର ଚରେ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟ ମଧିଅରେ ଗଭୀରକୁ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିପା ରନୋହିଁ। ସମାନେେ କିଛି ସମୟ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷାର ସମୟ ଆସିଲେ ସମାନେେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିବା ବନ୍ଦ କରନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ହ ରଇେ ବସନ୍ତି ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ଯାଆନ୍ତି।
14 ଯେଉଁ ବୀଜ କଣ୍ଟା ବୁଦା ରେ ପଡିଥିଲା, ତାହା ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ଯ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି କିନ୍ତୁ ଚିନ୍ତା, ଧନ, ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି, ଜୀବନର ଭୋଗ ବିଳାସ ଆଦି ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ବଢିବାରୁ ବାଧାଦିଏ। ତା' ଫଳ ରେ ସେଥିରୁ ଭଲ ଫଳ ମିଳି ପା ରନୋହିଁ।
15 ଏବଂ ଯେଉଁ ବୀଜ ଭଲ ମାଟି ରେ ପଡିଥିଲା, ତାହା ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ ସ୍ବଚ୍ଛ ଓ ପବିତ୍ର ହୃଦୟ ରେ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି, ତାହା ହୃଦୟ ରେ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରନ୍ତି, କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ରେ ପାଳନ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ର୍ଧୈୟ୍ଯ ପୂର୍ବକ ଉତ୍ତମ ଫଳ ଫଳନ୍ତି।
16 କହେି କବେେ ଦୀପଟିଏ ହାଣ୍ଡିତଳେ ଘୋଡଇେ ରଖିବା ପାଇଁ ବା ଖଟ ତଳେ ଲୁଚଇେ ରଖିବା ପାଇଁ ଜଳଇେ ନ ଥାଏ। ବରଂ ସେ ଦୀପଟି ଗୋଟିଏ ଦୀପରୁଖା ଉପରେ ରେଖ। ତାହା ହେଲେ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଘର ଭିତରକୁ ଆସିବେ, ସମାନେେ ଦେଖି ପାରିବା ପାଇଁ ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ଆଲୁଅ ପାଇବେ।
17 ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଗୁପ୍ତ ରହିଥିବା ବିଷୟ ଜ୍ଞାତ ହବେ ଓ ପ୍ରକାଶ୍ଯକୁ ଅଣାୟିବ। ଏପରି କୌଣସି ଗୁପ୍ତ ଜିନିଷ ନାହିଁ, ଯାହା ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ କରାୟିବ ନାହିଁ, ଜ୍ଞାତ ହବେ ନାହିଁ ଓ ପ୍ରକାଶ୍ଯକୁ ଅଣା ୟିବ ନାହିଁ।
18 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କିପରି ଶୁଣୁଛ, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ସାବଧାନ ରୁହ। ଯାହାର କିଛି ବୁଝିବା ଶକ୍ତି ଥିବ, ସେ ଅଧିକ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବ ଏବଂ ଯାହାର ବୁଝିବା ଶକ୍ତି ନଥିବ, ତାହାର ଯେତିକି ବା ବୁଝିବା ଶକ୍ତି ଅଛି ବୋଲି ସେ ଭାବୁଥିବ, ସତକେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତା'ଠାରୁ ଛଡାଇ ନିଆୟିବ।
19 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମାଆ ଓ ଭାଇମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଆସିଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ବହୁତ ଲୋକ ଗହଳି ହାଇେଥିବା ହତେୁ ସମାନେେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଇ ପାରୁନଥିଲେ।
20 କହେି ଜଣେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ତୁମ୍ଭର ମା ଓ ଭାଇମାନେ ବାହା ରେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଛନ୍ତି।
21 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ମାରେ ମାଆ ଏ ଭାଇମାନେ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ସହେିମାନେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପଦେଶ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି ଓ ତାହା ପାଳନ କରନ୍ତି।
22 ଦିନେ ଯୀଶୁ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଡଙ୍ଗା ରେ ଚଢି଼ଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ଆସ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ହ୍ରଦ ଆରପାରିକି ୟିବା। ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଡଙ୍ଗା ଖାଲିେ ଦେଲେ।
23 ସମାନେେ ଡଙ୍ଗା ବାହି ନେଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଶୋଇ ପଡିଲେ। ହ୍ରଦ ରେ ଝଡତାଫୋନ ମାଡି ଆସିଲା। ଡଙ୍ଗା ରେ ପାଣି ପଶିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା। ସମାନେେ ବିପଦ ରେ ପଡିଗଲେ।
24 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଉେଠଇ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ଗୁରୁ, ହେ ଗୁରୁ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ବୁଡିୟିବା।
25 ଯୀଶୁ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବିଶ୍ବାସ କେଉଁଆଡେ ଗଲା?
26 ଯୀଶୁ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଗାଲିଲୀରୁ ହ୍ରଦର ଅପର ପାଶର୍ବକୁ ଗଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଗରାଶିୟମାନେ ରହୁଥିବା ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ।
27 ଯୀଶୁ ଡଙ୍ଗାରୁ ବାହାରକୁ ବାହାରିବା ସମୟରେ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ନଗରରୁ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲା। ଏହି ଲୋକଟି ଦହେ ରେ ଭୂତଟିଏ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିଥିଲା। ଅନକେ ଦିନ ଧରି ସେ ଲୁଗା ପିନ୍ଧୁ ନଥିଲା କି ଘ ରେ ମଧ୍ଯ ରହୁନଥିଲା। ସେ କବର ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ରହୁଥିଲା।
28 ଭୂତ ଅନକେ ଥର ଲୋକଟିକୁ କବଳିତ କରୁଥିଲା। ଏହି ସମୟରେ ତା' ହାତ ରେ ହାତକଡି ଓ ଗୋଡ ରେ ବଡେି ପକାଇ ପହରା ଭିତ ରେ ରଖା ଯାଉଥିଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସବୁବେଳେ ସେ ସବୁ ଛିଣ୍ଡାଇ ଦେଉଥିଲା ଓ ତା' ଦହେ ରେ ଥିବା ଭୂତ ତାହାକୁ ଲୋକେ ରହୁ ନଥିବା ନିଛାଟିଆ ଜାଗାକୁ ତଡି ନେଉଥିଲା।
29 ଯୀଶୁ ଭୂତକୁ ସହେି ଲୋକଟି ଦହରେୁ ବାହାରି ଆସିବାକୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ। ଲୋକଟି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ପଡିଯାଇ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବର ରେ ପାଟି କରି କହିଲା, ହେ ସର୍ବୋପରିସ୍ଥଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଯୀଶୁ! ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ'ଠାରୁ କ'ଣ ଚାହୁଁଛ? ମୁଁ ଅନୁ ରୋଧ କରୁଛି, ମାେତେ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦିଅ ନାହିଁ।
30 ଯୀଶୁ ତା'କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୋର ନାମ କ'ଣ?
31 ଭୂତମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲେ ଯେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅନନ୍ତ ନର୍କକୁ ପଠାଇ ନ ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ।
32 ସେତବେେଳେ ସହେି ପାହାଡ ଉପରେ ଏକ ବଡ ଘୁଷୁରିଦଳ ଚରୁଥିଲେ। ଭୂତମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲେ ଯେ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଘୁଷୁରିମାନଙ୍କ ଦହକେୁ ୟିବାକୁ ଅନୁମତି ଦିଅନ୍ତୁ। ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ତାହା କରିବାକୁ ଅନୁମତି ଦଇେ ଦେଲେ।
33 ତା'ପରେ ଭୂତମାନେ ଲୋକଟି ଦହରେୁ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲେ ଓ ଘୁଷୁରିମାନଙ୍କ ଦହକେୁ ଚାଲିଗଲେ। ଦଳକଯାକ ଘୁଷୁରି ସହେି ପାହାଡ ଉପରୁ ହ୍ରଦ ଭିତରକୁ ଦୌଡିଗଲେ ଓ ସମସ୍ତେ ବୁଡିଗଲେ।
34 ଏ ଘଟଣା ଦେଖି ଘୁଷୁରି ଜଗୁଆଳମାନେ ସଠାରୁେ ପଳାଇଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯାଇ ନଗର ଓ ପଲ୍ଲୀ ରେ ଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହି କଥା କହିଲେ।
35 ଲୋକମାନେ ଏହି ଘଟଣା ଦେଖିବା ପାଇଁ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଦତଳେ ସହେି ଲୋକଟିକୁ ବସିଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ। ଲୋକଟି ଲୁଗା ପିନ୍ଧିଥିଲା ଓ ତା'ମନ ପୁରାପୁରୀ ବଦଳି ଯାଇଥିଲା। ତା' ଦହରେୁ ଭୂତମାନେ ବାହାରି ଯାଇଥିଲେ। ଏହା ଦେଖି ସମସ୍ତେ ଡରିଗଲେ।
36 ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଏହି ଘଟଣା ଦେଖିଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ଯେ ଭୂତ କବଳିତ ଲୋକଟି କିପରି ଭଲ ହାଇଗେଲା।
37 ସେ ଅଞ୍ଚଳର ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ଚାଲିୟିବାପାଇଁ ଅନୁ ରୋଧ କଲେ। କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ସମସ୍ତେ ବହୁତ ଡରି ଯାଇଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଡଙ୍ଗା ରେ ବସି ଗାଲିଲୀ ଫରେିଗଲେ।
38 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକଠାରୁ ଦହରେୁ ଭୂତଗୁଡିକ ବାହାରି ସାରିଥିଲେ, ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ସହିତ ୟିବାକୁ ଅନୁ ରୋଧ କଲା।
39 ଘରକୁ ଫରେିଯାଅ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ଯାହା କରିଛନ୍ତି ତାହା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କୁହ।
40 ଯୀଶୁ ଗାଲିଲୀ ଫରେିୟିବା ପରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ବାଗତ କଲେ। ସମସ୍ତେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ରହିଥିଲେ।
41 ଯାଈରସ ନାମ ରେ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ଯାଈରସ ସଠାେକାର ସମାଜଗୃହର ନେତା ଥିଲେ। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଦତଳେ ପଡିଗଲେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଘରକୁ ଆସିବା ପାଇଁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲେ।
42 ଯାଈରସଙ୍କର ଗୋଟିଏ ବୋଲି ଝିଅ ଥିଲା। ତାହାକୁ ବାର ବର୍ଷ ବୟସ ହାଇେଥିଲା। ସେ ମରିୟିବା ଅବସ୍ଥା ରେ ପଡିଥିଲା। ଯୀଶୁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଯାଈରସର ଘରକୁ ଯାଉଥିଲେ, ସେତବେେଳେ ବହୁ ସଂଖ୍ଯା ରେ ଲୋକ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଘର ଚାରିପାଖକୁ ଆସିଗଲେ।
43 ସଠାେରେ ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ମଧ୍ଯ ଥିଲା। ତା'ର ବାର ବର୍ଷ ହେଲା ରକ୍ତସ୍ରାବ ହେଉଥିଲା। ସେ ତାର ସମସ୍ତ ଅର୍ଥ ଔଷଧ ରେ ଖର୍ଚ୍ଚ କରି ସାରିଥିଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ କୌଣସି ଡାକ୍ତର ତାକୁ ଭଲ କରିଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ସମର୍ଥ ହାଇେ ନଥିଲେ।
44 ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପଛପଟୁ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଜାମାର ତଳକୁ ଛୁଇଁ ଦଲୋ। ତତ୍କ୍ଷଣାତ୍ ତାର ରକ୍ତସ୍ରାବ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା।
45 ସେତବେେଳେ ଯୀଶୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ମାେତେ କିଏ ଛୁଇଁଲା?
46 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ଜଣେ କହେି ମାେତେ ଛୁଇଁଛି। କାରଣ ମାଠାରୁେ ଶକ୍ତି ବାହାରି ଯାଇଥିବା ମୁଁ ଅନୁଭବ କରିଛି।
47 ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟି ଦେଖିଲା ଯେ ସେ ଲୁଚି ରହି ପାରିବ ନାହିଁ, ତେଣୁ ସେ ଥରି ଥରି ଆଗକୁ ଆସିଲା। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ନୁଆଇଲା। ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ କାହିଁକି ଛୁଇଁ ଦଲୋ, ସଇେ କଥା ସବୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ କହିଲା। ସେ କହିଲା ଯେ, ଯେତବେେଳେ ସେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଛୁଇଁ ଦଲୋ, ତତ୍କ୍ଷଣାତ୍ ସେ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇଗେଲା।
48 ଯୀଶୁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକଟିକୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଝିଅ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲ ସେଥିପାଇଁ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇଗେଲ। ଏଥର ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ଯାଅ।
49 ସେ ଠିକ୍ ଏହି କଥା କହୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସମାଜଗୃହର ନେତା ଯାଈରସଙ୍କ ଘରୁ ଜଣେ ଆସି କହିଲା, ତୁମ୍ଭ ଝିଅ ମରିଗଲା। ଆଉ ଏବେ ଗୁରୁଙ୍କୁ କଷ୍ଟ ଦିଅନାହିଁ।
50 ଯୀଶୁ ଏକଥା ଶୁଣିଲେ। ସେ ଯାଈରସଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଭୟ କରନାହିଁ। ବିଶ୍ବାସ ରଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭ ଝିଅ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହାଇଯେିବ।
51 ଯୀଶୁ ଘରକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ସେ କବଳେ ପିତର, ଯୋହନ ଓ ଯାକୁବ ତଥା ଝିଅଟିର ବାପାମାଆଙ୍କୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଭିତରକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ଦେଲେ।
52 ସମସ୍ତେ ସହେି ଝିଅଟିର ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ପାଇଁ କାନ୍ଦୁଥିଲେ ଓ ଦୁଃଖ କରୁଥିଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, କନ୍ଦନାହିଁ, ସେ ମରି ନାହିଁ, ସେ କବଳେ ଶାଇେଛି ମାତ୍ର।
53 ଏହା ଶୁଣି ଲୋକେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଉପହାସ କଲେ। କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ଜାଣିଥିଲେ ଯେ ଝିଅଟି ମରିଯାଇଛି।
54 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଝିଅଟିର ହାତ ଧରି ତାକୁ ଡାକିଲେ, ହେ ଝିଅ, ଉଠିପଡ।
55 ସହେିକ୍ଷଣି ତା' ଶରୀର ଭିତରୁକ ତାର ଆତ୍ମା ଫରେି ଆସିଲା ଓ ସେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଠିଆ ହାଇେ ପଡିଲା। ଯୀଶୁ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ, ତାକୁ କିଛି ଖାଇବାକୁ ଦିଅ।
56 ତା' ବାପାମାଆ ବିସ୍ମିତ ହାଇଗେଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଏ ଘଟଣା କାହାରି ଆଗ ରେ ନ କହିବାକୁ କହିଲେ।
1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
1 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
