While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].

People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.

All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”

“My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
5 ମଃତର୍ କାକେ ଡିରାସ୍, ସେରି ମୁଁୟ୍ ତୁମିକେ ଜାଣାୟ୍ଦ୍, ମଃର୍ନେ ମାର୍ଲା ହଃଚେ ନଃର୍କେ ହଃକାଉଁକେ ଜୁୟ୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଅଃଦିକାର୍ ଆଚେ ତାକ୍ ଡିରିକଃରି ରିଆ । ହେଁ ମୁଁୟ୍ ତୁମିକେ ସଃତ୍ କଃଉଁଲେ ତାକ୍ ଡିରା ।” (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
6 “ହାଁଚ୍ଗଟ୍ ଜଃଟ୍ୟା ଚେଳେ କାୟ୍ ଜଳେକ୍ କାସୁ ଡାବୁୟ୍ ବିକା ନଃଉତି? ଆର୍ ସେମଃନାର୍ ବିତ୍ରେ ଗଟେକ୍ ହେଁ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ନଃହାସ୍ରେ ।
[Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!

You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].

I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
9 ମଃତର୍ ଜୁୟ୍ମାନାୟ୍ ଲକାର୍ ମୁଏଁ ମକ୍ ନଃଜାଣି ବଃଲେଦ୍, ମୁଁୟ୍ ହେଁ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଦୁତ୍ମଃନାର୍ ମୁଏଁ ତାକ୍ ନଃଜାଣି ବଃଲିନ୍ଦ୍ ।”
But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
10 “ଆର୍ ଜୁୟ୍ମାନାୟ୍ ନଃରାର୍ ହୟ୍ସି ବିରଦେ କଃତା କୟ୍ଦ୍ ତାକ୍ କେମା ଦିଆ ଅୟ୍ଦ୍, ମଃତର୍ ଜୁୟ୍ ମାନାୟ୍ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା ବିରଦେ ଲିନ୍ଦା କଃତା କୟ୍ଦ୍ ତାକେ କେମା ଦିଆ ନୟ୍ ।”
[I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
11 “ଆର୍ ଜଃଡେବଃଳ୍ ସେମଃନ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ପାର୍ତ୍ନା ଗଃରାର୍ ବଃଡ୍ ଲକ୍ ଆର୍ ଅଃଦିକାରି ଲକ୍ମଃନାର୍ ଚଃମେ ଆଣ୍ତି, ସଃଡେବଃଳ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍ ଅଃହ୍ଣାର୍ ଗିନେ କଃନ୍କଃରି ଆର୍ କାୟ୍ ଉତୁର୍ ଦିଆସ୍ ଆର୍ କାୟ୍ରି କଃଉଆସ୍ ସେତାକ୍ ଚିତା କଃରା ନାୟ୍ ।
[So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
12 କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ କାୟ୍ରି କଃଉଁକେ ଅୟ୍ଦ୍ ସେରି ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା ସଃଡେବଃଳ୍ ତୁମିକେ ସିକାୟ୍ଦ୍ ।”
because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
13 ଲକ୍ମଃନାର୍ ବିତ୍ରେ ଗଟ୍ଲକ୍ ଜିସୁକେ କୟ୍ଲା, “ଏ ଗୁରୁ, ମର୍ ବାୟ୍କ୍ ମର୍ ସଃଙ୍ଗ୍ ଦାଦି ଅଃର୍ଜ୍ଲା ଦଃନ୍ ବାଟା କଃରୁକେ କଃଉ ।”
Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
14 ମଃତର୍ ଜିସୁ ତାକ୍ କୟ୍ଲା, “ଏ ବାୟ୍, କେ ମକେ ତୁମିମଃନାର୍ ଉହ୍ରେ ବିଚାର୍ କଃରୁକେ ଆର୍ ବାଟା କଃରୁକେ ଅଃଦିକାର୍ ଦିଲାଆଚେ?”
But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
15 ଆରେକ୍ ସେ ସେମଃନ୍କେ କୟ୍ଲା, “ଜଃଗ୍ରାତ୍ ସଃବୁ ରଃକମ୍ ଲଃବ୍ ତଃୟ୍ହୁଣି ଦୁରିକ୍ ରିଆ, କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ଗଟ୍ ଲକାର୍ ଜିବନ୍ ତାର୍ ଦଃନ୍ ବିତ୍ ଉହ୍ରେ ବଃର୍ସା ନଃକେରେ ।”
Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
16 ଆର୍ ଜିସୁ ସେମଃନ୍କେ ଇ କଃତା କୟ୍ଲା, “ଗଟେକ୍ ମାଜନ୍ ଲକାର୍ ହଃଦାୟ୍ ବୁତେକ୍ ତାସ୍ ଅୟ୍ଲି,
Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
17 ସେତାକ୍ ସେ ମଃନେ ମଃନେ ଚିତା କଃରି କୟ୍ଲା, ‘କାୟ୍ କଃରିନ୍ଦ୍? କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ତାସ୍ ରୁଣ୍ଡାୟ୍ କଃରି ସଃଙ୍ଗାଉଁକେ ଟାଣ୍ ନାୟ୍ ।’
[So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
18 ଆରେକ୍ ସେ କୟ୍ଲା, ‘ଇରି କଃରିନ୍ଦ୍, ମର୍ ଗଃଦ୍ୟା ସଃବୁ ବଃସ୍ଳାୟ୍ନ୍ଦ୍ ଆର୍ ବଃଡ୍ ବଃଡ୍ କଃରି ବାନ୍ଦିନ୍ଦ୍ ଆର୍ ସେତି ମର୍ ଗଅଁ ସଃବୁ ସଃଙ୍ଗାୟ୍ନ୍ଦ୍ ।
Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
19 ଆର୍ ମୁୟ୍ଁ ମର୍ ହଃରାଣ୍କେ କୟ୍ଦ୍, ରେ ହଃରାଣ୍, ବୁତେକ୍ ବଃର୍ସାର୍ ହାଁୟ୍ ତର୍ ଜଃବର୍ କାଦିକଣ୍ଡା ଆଚେ, ବିସାଉ, କାଆ, ଆର୍ ସଃର୍ଦାକଃର୍ ।’
[Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
20 ମଃତର୍ ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ତାକ୍ କୟ୍ଲା, ‘ରେ ନିର୍ବୁଦିଆ ଆଜି ରାତି ତର୍ ହଃରାଣ୍ ତର୍ ତଃୟ୍ହୁଣି ନିଆ ଅୟ୍ଦ୍, ସେତାକ୍ ଜାୟ୍ ଜାୟ୍ରି ରୁଣ୍ଡାୟ୍ ଆଚ୍ସି, ସେରି ସଃବୁ କାର୍ ଅୟ୍ଦ୍?’”
But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
21 “ଜେ ଅଃହ୍ଣାର୍ ଗିନେ ଦଃନ୍ ଅଃର୍ଜେଦ୍, ମଃତର୍ ଇସ୍ୱରାର୍ ଆକାୟ୍ ସେ ମାଜନ୍ ନାୟ୍, ତାକେ ଅଃନ୍କାର୍ ଅୟ୍ଦ୍ ।”
[Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
22 ଜିସୁ ଅଃହ୍ଣାର୍ ଚେଲାମଃନ୍କେ କୟ୍ଲା, “ଇତାର୍ ଗିନେ ମୁଁୟ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ କଃଉଁଲେ, କାୟ୍ରି କାଉଁନ୍ଦ୍ ଇରି କୟ୍ କଃରି, ତୁମିମଃନାର୍ ଜିବନ୍ ଗିନେ ଆରେକ୍ କାୟ୍ରି ହିନ୍ଦୁନ୍ଦ୍, ଇରି କୟ୍ କଃରି ତୁମିମଃନାର୍ ଗଃଗାଳ୍ ଗିନେ ହେଁ ଚିତା କଃରା ନାୟ୍ ।
Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.

It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]

Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
25 ଆରେକ୍ ତୁମିମଃନାର୍ ବିତ୍ରେ କେ ଚିତା କଃରି କଃରି ଅଃହ୍ଣାର୍ ଆୟ୍ଁସ୍ କଃଣ୍ଡେକ୍ ବାଡାଉଁ ହାରେ?
(There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]

Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
27 ବଃନ୍ ହୁଲ୍ମଃନାର୍ କଃତା ବାବି ଦଃକା, ସେରିମଃନ୍ କଃନ୍କଃରି ସୁତା ନଃକାଟ୍ତି କି ସେମଃନାର୍ ଗିନେ ବଃସ୍ତର୍ ନଃବୁଣ୍ତି, ଅୟ୍ଲେକ୍ ହେଁ ମୁଁୟ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ କଃଉଁଲେ, ସଲ୍ମନ୍ ରଃଜା ହେଁ ଅଃହ୍ଣାର୍ ସଃର୍ନେ ଦଃନ୍ ରଃୟ୍କଃରି, ଗଟେକ୍ ହୁଲ୍ ହର୍ ହେଁ ସୁନ୍ଦୁର୍ ବଃସ୍ତର୍ ହିନ୍ଦି ନଃରିଲା ।
Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
28 ମଃତର୍ ଜୁୟ୍ ରଃନ୍ ଆଜି ହଃଦାୟ୍ ଆଚେ ଆର୍ କାଲି ଚୁଲି ବିତ୍ରେ ହଃକା ଅୟ୍ଦ୍, ତାକ୍ ଜଦି ଇସ୍ୱର୍ ଅଃନ୍କାର୍ ବେସ୍ ଦେଉଁଲା, ତଃବେ ଏ ଅଃଳକ୍ ବିସ୍ୱାସିମଃନ୍ ସେ ତୁମିକେ କଃତେକ୍ ଅଃଦିକ୍ ନଃଦେୟ୍ ।”
God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?

The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].

Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
32 “ଏ ସାନ୍ ଦଃଳ୍, ଡିରା ନାୟ୍, କାୟ୍ତାକ୍ବଃଲେକ୍ ତୁମିମଃନ୍କେ ତାର୍ ରାଇଜ୍ ଦେଉଁକେ ତୁମିମଃନାର୍ ସଃର୍ଗାର୍ ଉବାଦିର୍ ବଃଡେ ସଃର୍ଦା ।
[You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].

[So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.

But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.

[If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.

[God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot].
