ମାଥିଉଲିଖିତ ସୁସମାଚାର 16
1 ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ସାଦ୍ଦୂକୀମାନେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ କୌଣସି ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦଖାଇବୋକୁ କହିଲେ, କାରଣ ଯୀଶୁ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦଖାଇବୋ ଫଳ ରେ ପ୍ରମାଣିତ ହାଇେ ପାରିବ ଯେ ସେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଖରୁ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି।
2 ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସୂର୍ୟ୍ଯାସ୍ତ ସମୟରେ ଆକାଶକୁ ଲାଲରଙ୍ଗ ହାଇେଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ କୁହ ଯେ ପାଗ ଭଲ ରହିବ।
3 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସୂର୍ େଯ୍ଯାଦୟ ସମୟରେ ଆକାଶକୁ ଲାଲ ରଙ୍ଗର ଓ ମେଘୁଆ ଥିବାର ଦେଖିଲେ କୁହ ଯେ ଆଜି ଝଡ଼ ହବେ। ଏଗୁଡିକ ପାଗର ଲକ୍ଷଣ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ଲକ୍ଷଣଗୁଡିକ ଆକାଶ ରେ ଦେଖ ଓ ସଗେୁଡିକର ଅର୍ଥ ବୁଝ। ସହେିଭଳି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଘଟୁଥିବା ଘଟଣାଗୁଡିକୁ ଦେଖୁଛ। ଏଗୁଡିକ ମଧ୍ଯ ଏପ୍ରକାର ଲକ୍ଷଣ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଏଗୁଡିକର ଅର୍ଥ ବୁଝିବାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମର୍ଥ ହାଇେ ପାରୁନ।
4 ମନ୍ଦ ଓ ପାପୀ ଲୋକ ହିଁ ପ୍ରମାଣ ଚିହ୍ନ ସ୍ବରୂପ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଚାହାଁନ୍ତୁ। ଏଭଳି ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ୟୂନୁସଙ୍କ ଚ଼ିହ୍ନ ବ୍ଯତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି ଚ଼ିହ୍ନ ଦିଆୟିବ ନାହିଁ। ତାପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ସଠାେରେ ଛାଡ଼ି ଚ଼ାଲିଗଲେ।
5 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ହ୍ରଦର ଅପର ପାଶର୍ବକୁ ଗଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସମାନେେ ସାଙ୍ଗ ରେ ରୋଟୀ ନବୋକୁ ଭୁଲିଗଲେ।
6 ଯୀଶୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ସାବଧାନ ରୁହ। ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ସାଦ୍ଦୂକୀମାନଙ୍କ ଖମୀରରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କର।
7 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ନିଜ ନିଜ ଭିତ ରେ ଏହାର ଅର୍ଥ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଆଲୋଚନା କଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ବୋଧହୁଏ ଆମ୍ଭେ ରୋଟୀ ନ ଆଣିଥିବାରୁ ସେ ଏପରି କହିଲେ।
8 ସମାନେେ ଯାହା କୁହା କୁହି ହେଉଥିଲେ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହା ଜାଣି ପାରିଲେ। ସେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ରୋଟୀ ନଥିବା କଥା କାହିଁକି ତୁମ୍ଭ ଭିତ ରେ କୁହାକୁହି ହେଉଛ? ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଅଳ୍ପ।
9 ଏବେ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ବୁଝି ପାରୁନ? ପାଞ୍ଚଟି ରୋଟୀକୁ ପାଞ୍ଚ ହଜାର ଲୋକ ଖାଇଥିବା କଥା ମନେ ପକାଅ। ଲୋକେ ଖାଇ ସାରିବା ପରେ ବଳକା ଅଂଶତକ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଅନକେ ଟୋକଇେ ରେ ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କରିଥିଲ।
10 ସାତଟେି ରୋଟୀକୁ ଚାରିହଜାର ଲୋକ ଖାଇଥିବା କଥା ମନେ ପକାଅ। ଲୋକେ ଖାଇସାରିବା ପରେ ବଳକା ଅଂଶତକ ଅନକେ ଟୋକଇେ ରେ ଭର୍ତ୍ତି କରିଥିବା ବିଷୟ ରେ କହୁ ନଥିଲି?
11 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହା କାହିଁକି ବୁଝି ପାରୁନ? ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସାବଧାନ ରହିବାକୁ ଏବଂ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ସାଦ୍ଦୂକୀମାନଙ୍କର କୁପ୍ରଭାବରୁ ଦୂର ରେ ରହିବାକୁ କହୁଛି।
12 ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ କଥାର ଅର୍ଥ ବୁଝିଗଲେ। ରୋଟୀ ରେ ବ୍ଯବହାର କରା ଯାଉଥିବା ଖମୀରର କୁପ୍ରଭାବରୁ ସାବଧାନ ରହିବା ବିଷୟ ରେ ଯୀଶୁ କହୁନଥିଲେ। ମାତ୍ର ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ସାଦ୍ଦୂକୀମାନଙ୍କର ଉପଦେଶଠାରୁ ସାବଧାନ ରହିବାକୁ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହୁଥିଲେ।
13 ଯୀଶୁ କାଇସରିଯା ଫିଲିପ୍ପୀ ଅଞ୍ଚଳକୁ ଆସିବା ପରେ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ହେଉଛି ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର ମୁଁ କିଏ ବୋଲି ଲୋକେ ମାେ ବିଷୟ ରେ କ'ଣ କହୁଛନ୍ତି?
14 ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, କେତକେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ବାପ୍ତିଜକ ଯୋହନ ବୋଲି କହୁଛନ୍ତି ତ କେତକେ ଏଲିୟ ବୋଲି କହୁଛନ୍ତି। ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ଆପଣଙ୍କୁ ୟିରିମିୟ ବା ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣେ ବୋଲି କହୁଛନ୍ତି।
15 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ କିଏ ବୋଲି ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ କହୁଛ?
16 ଶିମାନେ ପିତର ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଆପଣ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ। ଜୀବନ୍ତ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର।
17 ଉତ୍ତର ରେ ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ଶିମାନେ! ୟୂନସଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର! ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଧନ୍ଯ! ଏକଥା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କୌଣସି ମଣିଷ ଶିଖାଇ ନାହିଁ। ମାେ ସ୍ବର୍ଗୀୟ ପିତା ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏକଥା ଶିଖାଇଛନ୍ତି।
18 ମୁଁ ମଧ୍ଯ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହି ରଖୁଛି ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ହେଉଛ ପିତର ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ଏହି ପଥର ଉପରେ ମାରେ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀ ତୋଳିବି। ମୃତ୍ଯୁଶକ୍ତି ମାରେ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀକୁ ପରାଜିତ କରିବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ ହାଇପୋରିବ ନାହିଁ।
19 ସ୍ବର୍ଗରାଜ୍ଯର ଚାବିଗୁଡ଼ିକ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦବେି। ତେଣୁ ଏ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନ୍ଯାୟବିଗ୍ଭର କରିବ, ସହେି ନ୍ଯାୟ ବିଗ୍ଭର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ନ୍ଯାୟ ବିଗ୍ଭର ହବେ। ଏ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ୍ଷମା ଦବେ, ସହେି କ୍ଷମା ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର କ୍ଷମା ହବେ।
20 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୃଢ଼ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ, ସେ ଯେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଅଟନ୍ତି କାହାକୁ ନ କହିବା ପାଇଁ।
21 ସେ ସମୟରୁ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ ଯେ ସେ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ଭାବରେ ୟିରୂଶାଲମକୁ ଯିବେ। ସଠାେରେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ନେତା, ପ୍ରମୁଖ ଯାଜକ ଓ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ସେ ଅନକେ ଯାତନା ପାଇବେ ଓ ବଧକରି ଦିଆଯିବେ। ସେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁରୁ ତୃତୀୟ ଦିନ ପୁନର୍ଜୀବିତ ହବେେ।
22 ତା'ପରେ ପିତର ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ପାଖକୁ ଏକୁଟିଆ ଡାକି ନେଲେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସମାଲୋଚନା କରି କହିଲେ, ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ! ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଦୟା କରନ୍ତୁ। ଆପଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏସବୁ ଘଟଣା ନଘଟୁ।
23 ଯୀଶୁ ବୁଲିପଡି ପିତରଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଶୟତାନ! ମାେ ପାଖରୁ ଚାଲିଯାଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେ ପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ବିଘ୍ନ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିୟମକୁ ଖାତିର୍ କରୁନାହଁ। ଲୋକମାନେ ଯାହାକୁ ସହତ୍ତ୍ବପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ବୋଲି ଭାବନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ ସହେିଭଳି ଭାବୁଛ।
24 ତା'ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଯଦି କହେି ଲୋକ ମାରେ ଅନୁସରଣ କରିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଛି ତବେେ ସେ ନିଜ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଭୂଲିଯାଉ। ସେ ଲୋକକୁ ଦିଆଯାଇଥିବା ଯାତନାର କୃଶ ବହନ କରୁ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ମାରେ ଅନୁସରଣ କରିବା ଉଚିତ।
25 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ତା ନିଜ ଜୀବନ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ଚାହୁଁଥିବ, ସେ ଏହାକୁ ହ ରଇେ ବସିବ। ମାେ ପାଇଁ ଜୀବନ ଦେଉଥିବା ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକ ଏହାକୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବ।
26 ଯଦି ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ନିଜ ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ହ ରଇେ ସାରା ସଂସାର ପାଏ, ତବେେ ସେଥି ରେ ତାହାର କି ଲାଭ ହବେ? ନିଜର ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ଥରେ ହ ରଇେ ପୁଣି ଥରେ କିଣିବା ପାଇଁ କହେି କବେେ ହେଲେ । ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ଧନ ଦଇେ ପାରିବନାହିଁ।
27 ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର ନିଜର ପିତାଙ୍କ ମହିମା ସହିତ ତାହାଙ୍କର ସ୍ବର୍ଗଦୂତମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଆସିବେ। ସେ ସମୟରେ ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକକୁ ତାର କର୍ମ ଅନୁସାରେ ଫଳ ଦବେେ।
28 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସତ୍ଯ କହୁଛି। ଏଠା ରେ କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଠିଆ ହାଇେଛନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ଯ ସହିତ ଆସୁଥିବାର ଦେଖିବେ।
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
3 And will make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the Lord, of the herd, or of the flock:
4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.
5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord:
9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord.
20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations.
22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses,
23 Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance:
26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.
37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
