Romans 10
1 ଭାଇ ଓ ଭଉଣୀମାନେ, ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି ଓ ଏକାନ୍ତ ଭାବରେ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଛା ଯେ ଯିହୂଦୀ ଲୋକେ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଆନ୍ତୁ।
2 ମୁଁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ପୂର୍ବକ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ବିଷୟ ରେ କହିପା ରେ, ଯେ ସମାନେେ ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁକରଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଚାହାନ୍ତି କିନ୍ତୁ ଠିକ୍ ବାଟ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ।
3 ସମାନେେ ଜାଣି ନଥିଲେ ଯେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର କିପରି ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଧାର୍ମିକ କହନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ହବୋ ପାଇଁ ନିଜର ଉପାୟ ଦ୍ବାରା ଚେଷ୍ଟା କଲେ। ଅତଏବ ସମାନେେ ଧାର୍ମିକତା ବୋଲି ଗଣିତ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମାର୍ଗର ଅନୁ ସରଣ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
4 ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥାକୁ ସମାପ୍ତ କଲେ ଯେପରି, ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ହାଇେ ପାରିବ।
5 ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ପାଳନ ଦ୍ବାରା ଧାର୍ମିକ ହବୋ ବିଷୟ ରେ ମାଶାେ କହିଛନ୍ତି: ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ପାଳନ ଦ୍ବାରା ଜୀବନ ପାଇବା ପାଇଁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରେ, ସେ ନିଜର କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ବ୍ଯବସ୍ଥା ଅନୁସାରେ କରିବା ଆବଶ୍ଯକ।
6 କିନ୍ତୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଦ୍ବାରା ଧାର୍ମିକ ହବୋ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ଏହିପରି କୁ ହେ: ନିଜେ ନିଜକୁ ପଚ୍ଭାର ନାହିଁ ଯେ 'ସ୍ବର୍ଗକୁ କିଏ ୟିବ?'(ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ କିଏ ସ୍ବର୍ଗରୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ଆଣିବ?)
7 ଓ ଏପରି କୁହ ନାହିଁ ଯେ, 'ପାତାଳକୁ କିଏ ୟିବ?' (ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତରୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ ଉପରକୁ କିଏ ଆଣିବ?)
8 ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର କୁ ହେ: ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଶିକ୍ଷା ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଖ ରେ ଅଛି; ଏହା ତିମ୍ଭ ମୁଁହ ରେ ଓ ତିମ୍ଭ ହୃଦୟ ରେ ଅଛି। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଘାଷେଣା କରୁଥିବା ସହେି ଶିକ୍ଷାଟି ବିଶ୍ବାସର ଶିକ୍ଷା ଅଟେ।
9 ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜ ମୁହଁ ରେ କୁହ, ଯୀଶୁ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଅଟନ୍ତି, ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମନ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରେ ଯେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁର ଉଠାଇ ଆଣି ଥିଲେ; ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର ପାଇୟିବ।
10 ହୃଦୟ ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଦ୍ବାରା ଆମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଧାର୍ମିକ ହୋଉ ମୁଖ ଦ୍ବାରା କହି ବିଶ୍ବାସକୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର ପାଉ।
11 ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର କ ହେ: ୟିଏ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ (ଖ୍ରଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ) ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରେ ସେ ଲଜ୍ଜତ ହବେ ନାହିଁ।
12 ଏଠା ରେ ୟିଏ ର ଅର୍ଥ ଯିହୂଦୀ ଓ ଅଣଯିହୂଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତ ରେ ଭଦେ ନଥିବା ସୂଗ୍ଭଏ। ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କର ଜଣେ ପ୍ରଭୁ। ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରନ୍ତି, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଅନକେ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କରନ୍ତି।
13 ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର କୁ ହେ: ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ଲୋକ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ ପାଇବ।
14 କିନ୍ତ ଲୋକେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲା ପରେ ହିଁ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ ପାଇଁ ଡାକି ପାରିବେ। ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶୁଣି ସାରିଲା ପରେ ହିଁ, ଲୋକେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ବଶ୍ବାସ କରି ପାରିବେ। କିଏ ଜଣେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲା ପରେ ହିଁ ଲୋକେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଶୁଣି ପାରିବେ।
15 ଏହି ଉପଦସେ ଦବୋ ଲୋକ ଜଣକୁ କାହା ଦ୍ବାରା ନ ପଠାଗଲେ ବା ସେ କିପରି ଉପଦେଶ ଦବେ? ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ଲଖାେ ଅଛି: ସୁସମାଗ୍ଭର ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ଆସିବା ଲୋକର ପାଦ କେତେ ସୁନ୍ଦର ଅଟେ।
16 ମାତ୍ର ସମସ୍ତେ ସୁମାଗ୍ଭରକୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରି ନାହାଁନ୍ତି। ୟିଶାଇୟ କହନ୍ତି: ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ଆମ୍ଭ ଉପଦେଶ ଗୁଡିକ କିଏ କ'ଣ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲା?
17 ସୁସମାଗ୍ଭର ଶୁଣିଲେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ ହୁଏ ଓ ଜଣେ କିଏ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ କହିଲେ ଲୋକେ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି।
18 କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ପଗ୍ଭରୁଛି: କଣ ଲୋକେ ସୁସମାଗ୍ଭର ଶୁଣି ନାହାନ୍ତି? ହଁ ସମାନେେ ଶୁଣିଛନ୍ତି। ଶାସ୍ତ୍ର କୁ ହେ:
19 ପୁନର୍ବାର ମୁଁ ପଗ୍ଭରୁଛ: କଣ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଲୋକେ ବୁଝି ପାରି ନଥିଲେ? ହଁ ସମାନେେ ବୁଝି ଥିଲେ। ପ୍ରଥମେ ମାଶାେ କହିଛନ୍ତି:
20 ଏହା ପରେ ୟିଶାଇୟ ନିର୍ଭୟ ହାଇେ କହନ୍ତି:
21 କିନ୍ତୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଏହା କହନ୍ତି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଦିନ ସାରା ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରି ଥିଲେ ମଧ୍ଯ, ସମାନେେ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ମାନିଲେ ନହିଁ ଓ ଅନୁସରଣ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
