ଲୂକଲିଖିତ ସୁସମାଚାର 7:11-35

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.

11 ତା'ପର ଦିନ ଯୀଶୁ ନାଇନ ନଗରକୁ ଗଲେ। ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସହିତ ତାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଓ ବହୁ ସଂଖ୍ଯା ରେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯାଉଥିଲେ।
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 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।
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 ସହେି ବିଧବାକୁ ଦେଖି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ମନ ରେ କରୁଣା ଜାତ ହେଲା। ସେ ତାକୁ କହିଲେ, କାନ୍ଦ ନାହିଁ।
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

14 ଯୀଶୁ କୋକଇେ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଇ ତାହା ଛୁଇଁଲେ। କୋକଇେ କାନ୍ଧଇେ ନେଉଥିବା ଲୋକେ ଅଟକିଗଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ମୃତ ପୁତ୍ରକୁ କହିଲେ, ୟୁବକ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି ଠିଆ ହୁଅ।
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 ମୃତ ପୁତ୍ର ଉଠି ବସିଲା। ସେ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା। ଯୀଶୁ ତାକୁ ତା' ମାଆ ହାତ ରେ ଦଇେ ଦେଲେ।
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

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।
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 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଏହି ଖବର ୟିହୂଦା ଓ ଆଖପାଖ ସମସ୍ତ ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ରେ ପ୍ରଚାରିତ ହାଇଗେଲା।
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.

18 ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ଯୋହନଙ୍କୁ ଏ ସମସ୍ତ ଖବର ଜଣାଇଲେ। ଯୋହନ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଦୁଇଜଣ ଶିଷ୍ଯଙ୍କୁ ଡକାଇଲେ।
And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

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?
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 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?'
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 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଅନକେ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ରୋଗରୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ, ବଦନୋ ଦୂର ଓ ଦୁଷ୍ଟାତ୍ମା କବଳରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରି ଦେଉଥିଲେ। ସେ ଅନକେ ଅନ୍ଧକୁ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିଶକ୍ତି ଦେଉଥିଲେ।
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 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।
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 ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ମାେତେ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବ, ସେ ଧନ୍ଯ।
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

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?
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 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।
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 ତବେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କ'ଣ ଦେଖିବାପାଇଁ ବାହାରି ଯାଇଥିଲ? କ'ଣ ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କୁ? ହଁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ କହୁଛି। ଯୋହନ ଜଣେ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ମହାନ୍ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ ଏହା ଲଖାେଅଛି:
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

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।
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 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,
And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

30 କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଓ ଧର୍ମଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଦତ୍ତ ଯୋଜନାକୁ ଅସ୍ବୀକାର କଲେ ଓ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ବାପ୍ତିସ୍ମା ଗ୍ରହଣ କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

31 ତବେେ ମୁଁ ପୁଣି ଏହି ୟୁଗର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ରେ କ'ଣ କହିବି? ମୁଁ କାହା ସହିତ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ତୁଳନା କରିବି? ସମାନେେ କାହା ଭଳି ହବେ?
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

32 ସମାନେେ ବଜାର ରେ, ବସିଥିବା ସହେି ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି, ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କ ଭିତରୁ ଦଳେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଦଳକୁ କହନ୍ତି:
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 ବାପ୍ତିଜକ ଯୋହନ ଆସିଲେ। ସେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭଳି ଖାଉନଥିଲେ କିମ୍ବା ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପିଉନଥିଲେ। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କହୁଛ ଯେ, 'ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦହେ ରେ ଭୂତ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିଛି।'
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

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।'
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 କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣା କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଦ୍ବାରା ଜ୍ଞାନ ଯଥାର୍ଥ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହାଇେଥାଏ।'
But wisdom is justified of all her children.
