ਲੋਕਾ 5
1 ਪਤਰਸ, ਯਾਕੂਬ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਹੰਨਾ ਯਿਸੂ ਦਾ ਅਨੁਸਰਣ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਯਿਸੂ ਗਨੇਸਰਤ ਦੀ ਝੀਲ ਕੰਢੇ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਭੀੜ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਸੁਨਣ ਲਈ, ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਸ-ਪਾਸ ਇਕੱਠੀ ਹੋ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ।
2 ਫ਼ਿਰ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਝੀਲ ਦੇ ਕੰਢੇ ਦੋ ਬੇੜੀਆਂ ਦੇਖੀਆਂ। ਬੇੜੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਮਾਛੀ ਬਾਹਰ ਆਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਜਾਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਧੋ ਰਹੇ ਸਨ।
3 ਯਿਸੂ ਇੱਕ ਬੇੜੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਚੜ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਗਿਆ ਜੋ ਕਿ ਸ਼ਮਊਨ ਦੀ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਬੇੜੀ ਨੂੰ ਕੰਢੇ ਤੋਂ ਥੋੜੀ ਦੂਰ ਲੈ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਆਖਿਆ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਬੇੜੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੈਠਕੇ ਕੰਢੇ ਤੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਦੇਣ ਲੱਗਾ।
4 ਜਦੋਂ ਉਹ ਬੋਲ ਕੇ ਹਟਿਆ, ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸ਼ਮਊਨ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਡੂੰਘੇ ਪਾਣੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਓ ਅਤੇ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੇ ਜਾਲ ਪਾਣੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੁੱਟੋ।”
5 ਸ਼ਮਊਨ ਨੇ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ, “ਮਾਲਕ! ਅਸੀਂ ਸਾਰੀ ਰਾਤ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਫ਼ੜਨ ਲਈ ਬਹੁਤ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕਰਦੇ ਰਹੇ, ਪਰ ਸਾਡੇ ਹੱਥ ਕੁਝ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਗਾ। ਪਰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਖਦੇ ਹੋ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਜਾਲ ਪਾਣੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਵਾਂ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੈਂ ਇੰਝ ਹੀ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਆਖਦੇ ਹੋ।”
6 ਸਭ ਮਾਛੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਜਾਲ ਪਾਣੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਏ ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਜਾਲ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਇਸ ਕਦਰ ਭਾਰੇ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਹੋ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਭਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਟੁੱਟਣੇ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋ ਗਏ।
7 ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਦੂਜੀ ਬੇੜੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੈਠੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਸਾਥੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੀ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ ਬੁਲਾਇਆ। ਜਦੋਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਮਿੱਤਰ ਮਦਦ ਲਈ ਆਏ ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਦੋਨੇ ਬੇੜੀਆਂ ਇਸ ਕਦਰ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਭਰ ਗਈਆਂ ਕਿ ਇੰਝ ਮਾਲੂਮ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਬੇੜੀਆਂ ਹੁਣੇ ਹੀ ਡੁੱਬ ਜਾਣਗੀਆਂ।
8 ਜਦੋਂ ਸ਼ਮਊਨ ਨੇ ਇਹ ਵੇਖਿਆ, ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਅੱਗੇ ਸਿਰ ਝੁਕਾਇਆ ਅਤੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਮੈਂ ਇੱਕ ਪਾਪੀ ਬੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਦੂਰ ਚੱਲਿਆ ਜਾ।” ਉਸ ਨੇ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਆਖਿਆ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਹ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰ ਜੋ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਸਨ ਇੰਨੀਆਂ ਮੱਛੀਆਂ ਫ਼ੜੇ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਸਨ।
9 ਇਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਜ਼ਬਦੀ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਯਾਕੂਬ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਹੰਨਾ ਵੀ ਬੜੇ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਹੋਏ। (ਯਾਕੂਬ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਹੰਨਾ ਸ਼ਮਊਨ ਨਾਲ ਸਾਂਝਾ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ।) ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਸ਼ਮਊਨ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਭੈਭੀਤ ਨਾ ਹੋ! ਹੁਣ ਤੋਂ ਤੂੰ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਕੱਠਾ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਕਰੇਂਗਾ।”
10 ਫ਼ੇਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਬੇੜੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੰਢੇ ਤੇ ਲਿਆਂਦਾ। ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਛੱਡ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਮਗਰ ਹੋ ਤੁਰੇ।
11 ਯਿਸੂ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਕੋੜ੍ਹੀ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਜੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਇੱਕ ਵਾਰ ਯਿਸੂ ਇੱਕ ਨਗਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੀ। ਉੱਥੇ ਕੋੜ੍ਹ ਨਾਲ ਭਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਇੱਕ ਬੰਦਾ ਸੀ। ਜਦੋਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਉਹ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਤੇ ਝੁਕ ਗਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਕੀਤੀ, “ਪ੍ਰਭੂ, ਮੇਰੇ ਤੇ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰੋ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਠੀਕ ਕਰ ਦਿਓ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਚਾਹੋ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਰਾਜੀ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਹੋਂ।”
12 ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਹੱਥ ਬਾਹਰ ਫ਼ੈਲਾਕੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਛੋਹਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਰਾਜੀ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਰਾਜੀ ਹੋ ਜਾ!” ਤੁਰੰਤ ਹੀ ਕੋੜ੍ਹ ਗਾਇਬ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ।
13 ਤਦ ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਕਿਸੇ ਕੋਲ ਵੀ ਇਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਨਾ ਕਰੀਂ ਜਾਜਕ ਕੋਲ ਜਾਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਖਾ ਅਤੇ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਮੂਸਾ ਨੇ ਹੁਕਮ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਜਾਕੇ ਭੇਂਟ ਚੜ੍ਹਾ। ਇੰਝ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਤਾ ਲੱਗ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਕਿ ਤੂੰ ਰਾਜੀ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ।”
14 ਪਰ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੀ ਚਰਚਾ ਵੱਧ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਫ਼ੈਲਦੀ ਗਈ। ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਭੀੜ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਸੁਨਣ ਅਤੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਰੋਗਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਰਾਜੀ ਹੋਣ ਲਈ ਉਸ ਕੋਲ ਆਈ।
15 ਪਰ ਅਕਸਰ ਯਿਸੂ ਇੱਕਾਂਤ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਥਾਵਾਂ ਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਚੱਲਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਸੀ।
16 ਯਿਸੂ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਅਧਰੰਗੀ ਨੂੰ ਠੀਕ ਕਰਨਾ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਯਿਸੂ ਜਦੋਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ ਦੇ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਤਾਂ ਫ਼ਰੀਸੀ, ਅਤੇ ਕੁਝ ਨੇਮ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ਕ ਵੀ ਉੱਥੇ ਬੈਠੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ। ਉਹ ਗਲੀਲ ਅਤੇ ਯਹੂਦਿਯਾ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਨਗਰ ਤੋਂ ਅਤੇ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਆਏ ਸਨ। ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਚੰਗਾ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਦੀ ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਸੀ।
17 ਉੱਥੇ ਇੱਕ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਸੀ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਅਧਰੰਗ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ। ਕੁਝ ਲੋਕ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਮੰਜੀ ਤੇ ਚੁੱਕ ਕੇ ਲਿਆਏ। ਉਹ ਆਦਮੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਇਸ ਅਧਰੰਗੀ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਦਰ ਲੈਜਾਕੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਰੱਖਣ।
18 ਪਰ ਉੱਥੇ ਇੰਨੀ ਭੀੜ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਜਦ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਦਰ ਜਾਣ ਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਢੰਗ ਨਾ ਦਿਸਿਆ ਫ਼ਿਰ ਉਹ ਛੱਤ ਉੱਤੇ ਚੜ੍ਹ੍ਹੇ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਕੁਝ ਖਪਰੈਲਾਂ ਕੱਢੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਭੀੜ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚਕਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਠੀਕ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਉਸ ਬਿਮਾਰ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਬਿਸਤਰੇ ਸਮੇਤ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਲਾਹ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
19 ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਵੇਖਕੇ ਬਿਮਾਰ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਮਿੱਤਰ, ਤੇਰੇ ਪਾਪ ਬਖਸ਼ੇ ਗਏ ਹਨ।”
20 ਯਹੂਦੀ, ਨੇਮ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਫ਼ਰੀਸੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੋਚਿਆ, “ਇਹ ਕੌਣ ਆਦਮੀ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਖਿਲਾਫ਼ ਬੋਲ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ? ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਕੇਵਲ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਹੀ ਪਾਪ ਮਾਫ਼ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹੈ।”
21 ਯਿਸੂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੋਚਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਸੀ ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਮਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਵਿੱਚਾਰ ਕਿਉਂ ਪੈਦਾ ਹੋ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ?
22 ਕਿਹੜੀ ਗੱਲ ਸੌਖੀ ਹੈ? ਇਹ ਆਖਣਾ ‘ਤੇਰੇ ਪਾਪ ਮਾਫ਼ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਹਨ’, ‘ਜਾਂ ਉੱਠ ਅਤੇ ਚੱਲ।’
23 ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਸਬੂਤ ਦਿਆਂਗਾ ਕਿ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਨੂੰ ਧਰਤੀ ਤੇ ਪਾਪ ਮਾਫ਼ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਅਧਿਕਾਰ ਹੈ।” ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਅਧਰੰਗੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ। “ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਕਹਿੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਖੜ੍ਹਾ ਹੋ ਆਪਣਾ ਬਿਸਤਰਾ ਚੁੱਕ ਅਤੇ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਜਾ।”
24 ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਤੁਰੰਤ ਹੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਉੱਠ ਖਲੋਇਆ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਪਣਾ ਬਿਸਤਰਾ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਚੱਲਾ ਗਿਆ।
25 ਉਹ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਸਨ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਪੂਰੀ ਇੱਜਤ ਨਾਲ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕੀਤੀ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਅੱਜ ਅਸੀਂ ਹੈਰਾਨੀ ਭਰੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਵੇਖਿਆਂ ਹਨ।”
26 ਲੇਵੀ ਯਿਸੂ ਮਗਰ ਹੋ ਪਿਆ ਇਸਤੋਂ ਬਾਦ ਯਿਸੂ ਬਾਹਰ ਗਿਆ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਇੱਕ ਮਸੂਲੀਏ ਲੇਵੀ ਨੂੰ ਮਸੂਲ ਦੀ ਚੌਕੀਂ ਤੇ ਬੈਠੇ ਵੇਖਿਆ। ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਮੇਰੇ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਹੋ ਤੁਰ!”
27 ਲੇਵੀ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਹੋ ਤੁਰਿਆ।
28 ਲੇਵੀ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਘਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਯਿਸੂ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਵੱਡੀ ਦਾਵਤ ਦਾ ਇੰਤਜਾਮ ਕੀਤਾ। ਖਾਣੇ ਦੀ ਮੇਜ ਤੇ ਕਾਫ਼ੀ ਸਾਰੇ ਮਸੂਲੀਏ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਝ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਲੋਕ ਇੱਕਤਰ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ।
29 ਫ਼ਰੀਸੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਨੇਮ ਦੇ ਉਪਦੇਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਦੇ ਚੇਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਇਤ ਕੀਤੀ “ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮਸੂਲੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਪੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਕਿਉਂ ਖਾ-ਪੀ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ?”
30 ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਇਹ ਬਿਮਾਰ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਹਨ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੈਦ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਰੂਰਤ ਹੈ ਨਾ ਕਿ ਤੰਦਰੁਸਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ।
31 ਮੈਂ ਪਾਪੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਦਿਲ ਅਤੇ ਜੀਵਨ ਬਦਲਣ ਲਈ ਆਖਣ ਲਈ ਆਇਆ ਹਾਂ, ਨਾ ਕਿ ਧਰਮੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ।”
32 ਯਿਸੂ ਦਾ ਵਰਤ ਬਾਰੇ ਸਵਾਲ ਦਾ ਜਵਾਬ ਦੇਣਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਯਿਸੂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਯੂਹੰਨਾ ਦੇ ਚੇਲੇ ਵੀ ਆਮ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਫ਼ਰੀਸੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਚੇਲਿਆਂ ਵਾਂਗ ਵਰਤ ਰੱਖਦੇ ਅਤੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ, ਪਰ ਤੇਰੇ ਚੇਲੇ ਹਰ ਵਕਤ ਖਾਂਦੇ-ਪੀਂਦੇ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ।”
33 ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਲਾੜੇ ਦੇ ਦੋਸਤਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਵਰਤ ਰੱਖਵਾ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਹੋ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੱਕ ਕਿ ਲਾੜਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ?
34 ਪਰ ਵਕਤ ਆਵੇਗਾ ਜਦੋਂ ਲਾੜਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਲੈ ਲਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਉਸ ਵਕਤ ਉਹ ਵਰਤ ਰੱਖਣਗੇ।”
35 ਯਿਸੂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟਾਂਤ ਸੁਣਾਇਆ, “ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨਵੇਂ ਕੱਪੜੇ ਦੀ ਟਾਕੀ ਪਾੜਕੇ ਪੁਰਾਣੇ ਕੱਪੜੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਲਾਉਂਦਾ। ਜੇਕਰ ਉਹ ਇਹ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਨਵੀਂ ਪੁਸ਼ਾਕ ਨੂੰ ਖਰਾਬ ਕਰ ਲਵੇਗਾ, ਪਰ ਹਾਂ ਨਵੀਂ ਪੁਸ਼ਾਕ ਦੀ ਟਾਕੀ ਵੀ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਪੋਸ਼ਾਕ ਤੇ ਮੇਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਖਾਂਦੀ।
36 ਲੋਕ ਨਵੀਂ ਮੈਅ ਨੂੰ ਕਦੇ ਵੀ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਮਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਪਾਉਂਦੇ। ਕਿਉਂ? ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਨਵੀਂ ਮੈਅ ਪੁਰਾਣੀਆਂ ਮਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਾੜ ਦੇਵੇਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਅ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਡੁਲ੍ਹ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਮਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਨਸ਼ਟ ਹੋ ਜਾਣਗੀਆਂ।
37 ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਲੋਕ ਨਵੀਂ ਮੈਅ ਹਮੇਸ਼ਾ ਨਵੀਆਂ ਮਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਭਰਦੇ ਹਨ।
38 ਅਤੇ ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਮੈਅ ਪੀਕੇ ਨਵੀਂ ਕੋਈ ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ। ਕਿਉਂ? ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਹ ਆਖਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ, ‘ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਮੈਅ ਹੀ ਵੱਧੀਆ ਹੈ।’”
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
1 Samuel 25 in Tamil and English
1 ଶାମୁୟେଲଙ୍କର ଦହାନ୍େତ ହେଲା। ସମସ୍ତ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟବାସୀ ଏକତ୍ର ହାଇେ ଶାମୁୟେଲଙ୍କ ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯ ରେ ଶାେକ ପାଳନ କଲେ ଓ ରାମାସ୍ଥିତ ତାଙ୍କ ଗୃହ ରେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କବର ଦେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଦାଉଦ ପାରଣ ପ୍ରାନ୍ତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲେ।
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2 ମାଯୋନ ରେ ଜଣେ ଧନି ଲୋକ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲେ। ତାଙ୍କର 3,000 ମେଣ୍ତା ଏବଂ 1,000 ଛଳେି ଥିଲା। ସେ ଲୋକ ଜଣକ କର୍ମୀଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମେଣ୍ତାମାନଙ୍କର ଲୋମ କାଟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଇଥିଲା।
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 ସେ ଲୋକ ଜଣକର ନାମ ନାବଲ ଥିଲା ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀର ନାମ ଅବୀଗଲ ଥିଲା, ସେ ଭାରି ସକ୍ସ୍ଟନ୍ଦରୀ ଓ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧିମତୀ ମଧ୍ଯ ଥିଲେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ନାବଲ୍ ଭାରି ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦଯ ଓ ପାପିଷ୍ଠ ଥିଲେ। ସେ କାଲବେ ପରିବାରର ଥିଲେ।
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
4 ଦାଉଦ ମରକ୍ସ୍ଟଭୂମିରେ ଶୁଣିଲେ ଯେ ନାବଲ ତା'ର ଆପଣା ମେଣ୍ତାମାନଙ୍କର ଲୋମ କାଟକ୍ସ୍ଟଅଛି।
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
5 ଦାଉଦ 10 ଜଣ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ, କର୍ମିଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଅ ଓ ନାବଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମାରେ 'ନମସ୍କାର' ଜଣାଅ।
And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
6 ଦାଉଦ କହିଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ୟାଇ ଏହିପରି କକ୍ସ୍ଟହ, ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଚୀରଜୀବି ହକ୍ସ୍ଟଅ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହେଉ, ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ଗୃହର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହେଉ। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସର୍ବସ୍ବ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହେଉ।
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
7 ମୁ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣିଲି ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଷେପାଳକମାନେ ମଷେମାନଙ୍କର ଲୋମ କାଟକ୍ସ୍ଟଛନ୍ତି। କିଛି ସମୟ ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଷେପାଳକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ଥିଲେ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର କୌଣସି କ୍ଷତି କରି ନାହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ କି କର୍ମିଲ୍ ରେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର କିଛି ହଜି ନାହିଁ।
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
8 ତୁମ୍ଭର ଗ୍ଭକରମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଗ୍ଭର, ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସତ କହିବେ। ମାରେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୟାକର। ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଏହି ଖକ୍ସ୍ଟସି ସମୟରେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପାଖକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଛକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯାହାପାର ଏମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦିଅ। ଦୟାକରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସାଙ୍ଗ ଦାଉଦ ପାଇଁ ଏହା କର।
Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 ଦାଉଦ ଲୋକମାନେ ୟାଇ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ନାମ ରେ ନାବଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏହିସବୁ କଥା କହିଲେ।
And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
10 ନାବଲ ଦାଉଦର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦଇେ କହିଲେ, ଦାଉଦ କିଏ? ୟିଶୀର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର କିଏ? ଆଜିକାଲି ଅନକେ ଦାସ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ମକ୍ସ୍ଟନିବଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଳାଇୟାଇ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଲକ୍ସ୍ଟଛନ୍ତି।
And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
11 ମୁ କ'ଣ ନିଜର ରୋଟୀ, ନିଜର ଜଳ ଓ ନିଜର ଲୋମଛଦକମାନଙ୍କେ ନିମନ୍ତେ ହତ ପଶକ୍ସ୍ଟମାନଙ୍କ ମାଂସ ନଇେ କେଉଁ ଅଜ୍ଞାନ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦବେି?
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
12 ଦାଉଦର ଲୋକମାନେ ନିଜ ବାଟରେ ଫରେିଗଲେ ଓ ତାଙ୍କ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସି ସେ ସବୁ କଥା ତାଙ୍କୁ ଜଣାଇଲେ।
So David’s young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
13 ତା'ପରେ ଦାଉଦ ତାଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ନିଜ ନିଜର ଖଡ୍ଗ ବାନ୍ଧ, ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ନିଜ ନିଜର ଖଡ୍ଗ ବାନ୍ଧିଲେ, ଦାଉଦ ମଧ୍ଯ ନିଜର ଖଡ୍ଗ ବାନ୍ଧିଲେ, ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ସହିତ 400 ଲୋକ ଗଲେ ଓ 200 ଲୋକ ସାମଗ୍ରୀ ପାଖ ରେ ରହିଲେ।
And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
14 ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଜଣେ ନାବଲର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଅବୀଗଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଜଣାଇ କହିଲା, ଦେଖ, ଦାଉଦ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଭେଚ୍ଛା ଜଣଇବୋ ନିମନ୍ତେ ମରକ୍ସ୍ଟଭୂମିରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂତମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଥିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଖରାପ ଭବିଲେ।
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
15 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବଡ ଉପକାରୀ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ କ୍ଷେତ୍ର ରେ ମେଣ୍ତାଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଦାଉଦର ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ ସହିତ ଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଆମର କିଛି ନଇେ ନାହାଁନ୍ତି କି ଆମର କିଛି କ୍ଷତି କରି ନାହିଁନ୍ତି।
But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
16 ଦାଉଦର ଲୋକମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦିନରାତି ସର୍ବଦା ନିରାପତ୍ତା ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ମଷେମାନଙ୍କୁ ନଇେ କ୍ଷତେ ରେ ଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସମାନେେ ଆମର ଚତକ୍ସ୍ଟର୍ଦ୍ଦିଗ ରେ ପ୍ରାଚୀର ସଦୃଶ ଥିଲେ।
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଚିନ୍ତାକର ଓ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ କ'ଣ କରାୟାଇପାରିବ ସ୍ଥିର କର। ଆମର ସ୍ବାମୀ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ପରିବାର ପ୍ରତି ଭୟଙ୍କର ବିପତ୍ତି ଆସକ୍ସ୍ଟଅଛି। ଏପରି ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଷ୍ଟ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହେି କିଛି କହି ନ ପା ରେ, କାଳେ ସେ ତା'ର ମନ ପରବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରିବ।
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
18 ଅବୀଗଲ ଶୀଘ୍ର 200 ରୋଟୀ, ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଇକମ୍ଫା ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ଓ ପାଞ୍ଚଟି ମଷେର ମାଂସ ତରକାରୀ ଓ ପାଞ୍ଚ ଗୋଉଣୀ ଭଜା ଶସ୍ଯ ଓ 100 ପନ୍ଡୋ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ଓ 200 ଡିମ୍ବିରି ପିଠା ନଇେ ଗଧମାନଙ୍କ ପିଠି ରେ ଲଦିଲା।
Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
19 ତା'ପରେ ଅବୀଗଲ ତା'ର ଦାସମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ମାେ ଆଗେ ଆଗେ ଗ୍ଭଲ, ଦେଖ, ମୁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପେଛ ପେଛ ଯାଉଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ତା'ର ସ୍ବାମୀକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏକଥା ଜଣାଇଲା ନାହିଁ।
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
20 ଅବୀଗଲ ଗଧ ପିଠି ରେ ଚଢି ପର୍ବତର ତଳକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସନ୍ତେ ସେ ଦେଖିଲେ, ଦାଉଦ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଲୋକମାନେ ତା'ର ବିପରୀତ ଦିଗରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସକ୍ସ୍ଟଛନ୍ତି।
And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
21 ଦାଉଦ ଅବୀଗଲଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଖିବା ପୂର୍ବରକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲେ, ମୁ ନାବଲ୍ର ସଐତ୍ତିକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମରକ୍ସ୍ଟଭୂମିରେ ଜଗିଲି। ମୁ ଭାବକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲି ଏହାର ଗୋଟିଏ ହେଲ ମଷେ ନ ହଜକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ମୁ ଏହା କରୁଥିଲି ମାରେ କିଛି ସ୍ବାର୍ଥ ନ ଥିଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ ତା'ର ସବୁ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ପାଇଁ କରୁଥିଲି। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ଖରାପ ବ୍ଯବହାର ଦଖାଇେଲା।
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
22 ଯଦି ତାପରଦିନ ସକାଳ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ନାବଲ ପରିବାରର ଗୋଟିଏ ବି ଲୋକକୁ ମୁ ବଞ୍ଚିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦିଏ, ତା ହେଲେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାେତେ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦିଅନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ।
So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
23 ଠିକ୍ ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଅବୀଗଲ୍ ପହଞ୍ଚିଗଲା, ଯେତବେେଳେ ଅବୀଗଲ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଖିଲା, ସେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଗଧ ପିଠିରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ପଡି ନତମସ୍ତକ ହାଇେ ଦାଉଦ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ସମ୍ମାନ ଜଣାଇଲା।
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24 ଅବୀଗଲ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ଚରଣ ରେ ପଡି କହିଲା, ହେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭକ୍ସ୍ଟ, ମାରେ କଥା ଟିକେ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ଯାହାସବୁ ଘଟିଗଲା, ସେଥି ରେ ମାେତେ ଦୋଷ ଦିଅନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ।
And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
25 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପଠାଇଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମୁ ଆଦୌ ଦେଖି ନାହିଁ। ସପରେି ଅଜ୍ଞାନ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିର କଥାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଧରନାହିଁ। ସେ ତା'ର ନାମକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସାର୍ଥକ କରିଛି। ତା'ର ନାମ ନାବଲ ଯାହାର ଅର୍ଥ 'ମୂର୍ଖ' ଠିକ୍ ସହେିପରି ସେ ମୂର୍ଖ ମାନଙ୍କପରି ବ୍ଯବହାର କରିଛି।
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
26 ହେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭକ୍ସ୍ଟ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତ ଆପଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିରୀହ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ରକ୍ତପାତ ବାରଣ କଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଜୀବିତ ଥିବା ପ୍ରମାଣେ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜୀବିତ ଥିବା ୟାଏଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶତୃମାନେ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭର କ୍ଷତି କରିବାପାଇଁ ଗ୍ଭହାନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ନାବଲ୍ ପରି ହକ୍ସ୍ଟଅନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ।
Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
27 ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମୁ ଆଣିଥିବା ଭଟେି, ଦୟାକରି ଆପଣଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦିଅନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ।
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
28 ଦୟାକରି ମାେତେ ମାରେ କରିଥିବା ଦୋଷ ପାଇଁ କ୍ଷମା କରନ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ମୁ ଜାଣେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପରିବାରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ କରିବେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏପରି କରିଛନ୍ତି, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତିରୋଧ ରେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରିଅଛ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବଞ୍ଚିଥିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ କୌଣସି ଲୋକ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୋଷ ବାଛି ପାରିବ ନାହିଁ।
I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
29 ଯଦି ଜଣେ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ତାଡନା କରିବାକୁ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିବାକୁ ଗ୍ଭ ହେଁ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭର ଜୀବନ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରାଣକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଛାଟିଣି ଖୋଲରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଥର ଫିଙ୍ଗି ଦଲୋପରି ଫିଙ୍ଗି ଦବେ।
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
30 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଙ୍ଗଳ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରତୀଜ୍ଞା କରିଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସେ ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତୀଜ୍ଞା ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଶାସକ ରୂପେ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତ କରିବେ। ତାହା ଯେତବେେଳେ ସେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପ୍ରତି ସଫଳ କରି ଆପଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଅଗ୍ରଣୀ ରୂପେ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତ କରିବ।
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
31 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିରୀହମାନଙ୍କର ରକ୍ତପାତ ଦୋଷ ରେ ଦୋଷୀ ହବେ ନାହିଁ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଙ୍ଗଳ କରୁଛନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏହି ସବେକଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମନରେଖ।
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the Lord shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
32 ଦାଉଦ ଅବୀଗଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଆଜି ଯେ ମାେ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ସାକ୍ଷାତ କରିବାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପଠାଇଲେ, ସହେି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଧନ୍ଯ।
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
33 ତୁମ୍ଭର ସକ୍ସ୍ଟବିଗ୍ଭର ଧନ୍ଯ ହେଉ ଓ ଆଜି ମାେତେ ନିରୀହମାନଙ୍କର ରକ୍ତପାତ କରିବାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମନା ହେଲା। ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହେଉ।
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
34 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆଘାତ କରିବାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାରଣ କଲେ। ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ଭାବରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଯେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଅଛନ୍ତି, ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମାେତେ ସାକ୍ଷାତ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ଶିଘ୍ର ଆସି ନଥାନ୍ତ, ପ୍ରତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯଷ ବଳକେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନାବଲ ପରିବାର କହେି ଜଣେ ପୁରୁଷ ଜୀବିତ ରହି ନଥାନ୍ତା।
For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
35 ତହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ ସେ ତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଯାହା ଆଣିଥିଲା, ଦାଉଦ ତାହା ହସ୍ତରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତାହା ଗ୍ରହଣ କଲେ ଓ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଭଲ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଘରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଅ, ଦେଖ, ମୁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ କଥା ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣିଲି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କଲି।
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
36 ଯେତବେେଳେ ଅବୀଗଲ ନାବଲ ନିକଟକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆସିଲା। ସେତବେେଳେ ସେ ଦେଖିଲା ସେ ନିଜ ଘ ରେ ରାଜ ଭୋଜନ ପରି ଭୋଜନ କରୁଥିଲା, ନାବଲ୍ ଅତିଶଯ ମଦ୍ଯପାନ କରିଥିଲା ଓ ତା'ର ମନ ଅତ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଖକ୍ସ୍ଟସିଥିଲା। ଏହି ହତେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସେ ସକାଳ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ କୌଣସି କଥା ଜଣାଇଲା ନାହିଁ।
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
37 ତା'ପରଦିନ ସକାଳେ ତା'ର ନିଶା କମିଲାପରେ ତା'ର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସବୁକଥା ଜଣାଇଲା, ଏଥି ରେ ତା'ର ହୃଦଯ ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା ତାହା ଅନ୍ତର ରେ ମରିଗଲା। ତା'ର ହୃତ୍କ୍ରିଯା ବନ୍ଦ ହାଇଗେଲା ଓ ସେ ପଥର ପରି ପଡି ରହିଲା।
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
38 ଦଶଦିନ ପରେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ନାବଲର ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯର କାରଣ ହେଲେ।
And it came to pass about ten days after, that the Lord smote Nabal, that he died.
39 ଦାଉଦ ଶୁଣିଲେ ଯେ ନାବଲ ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯବରଣ କରିଛି। ଦାଉଦ କହିଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କର। ନାବଲ ମାେ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଖରାପ କଥା କହିଥିଲା କିନ୍ତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ମନ୍ଦକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ କ୍ଷାନ୍ତ କଲେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତା'ର ମୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟ୍ଯର କାରଣ ହେଲ, କାରଣ ସେ କକ୍ସ୍ଟକର୍ମ କରିଥିଲା। ତା'ପରେ ଦାଉଦ ଅବୀଗଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଏକ ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ପଠାଇଲେ। ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ହବୋପାଇଁ ତାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ।
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
40 ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ଦାସମାନେ କର୍ମିଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲେ ଏବଂ ଅବୀଗଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଦାଉଦ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ନଇୟିବୋ ପାଇଁ ଏଠାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇଛନ୍ତି। ଦାଉଦ ଗ୍ଭହାଁନ୍ତି, ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀରୂପେ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ।
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
41 ଅବୀଗଲ୍ ନତମସ୍ତକ ହାଇେ ଠିଆ ହେଲ, ସେ କହିଲେ, ମୁ ହେଉଛି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦାସୀ, ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭକ୍ସ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଦାସମାନଙ୍କ ପାଦ ଧୋଇବା ପାଇଁ ଗ୍ଭ ହେଁ।
And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
42 ଅବୀଗଲ୍ ଶିଘ୍ର ଗଧପିଠି ରେ ବସି ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ବାର୍ତ୍ତାବହଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଆସିଲେ, ଅବୀଗଲ୍ ତାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟଚରୀ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବତୀଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଆଣିଲେ। ସେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ହାଇେ ରହିଲେ।
And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
43 ଦାଉଦ ମଧ୍ଯ ୟିଷ୍ରିଯଲେୀଯା ଅହୀନୋଯମକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବିବାହ କଲେ ତହିଁରେ ସେ ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟ ହେଁ ତା'ର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ହେଲ।
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
44 ଶାଉଲ ନିଜର କନ୍ଯା ମୀଖଲକକ୍ସ୍ଟ, ଦାଉଦଙ୍କର ସ୍ତ୍ରୀକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲିମ ନିବାସୀ ଲଯିସ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ପଲ୍ଟିକି ନଇେଥିଲେ।
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
