< Luke 3 >
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
ତିବିରୀୟା କାଇସରଙ୍କ ଶାସନର ପନ୍ଦର ବର୍ଷରେ, ଯେତେବେଳେ ପନ୍ତିୟ ପୀଲାତ ଯିହୂଦିୟା ପ୍ରଦେଶର ଶାସନକର୍ତ୍ତା ଓ ହେରୋଦ ଗାଲିଲୀର ସାମନ୍ତରାଜା ଥିଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଭାଇ ଫିଲିପ୍ପ ଈତୂରୀୟା ଓ ତ୍ରାଖୋନୀତି ପ୍ରଦେଶର, ପୁଣି, ଲୂସାନୀୟା ଅବିଲୀନୀର ସାମନ୍ତରାଜା ଥିଲେ
2 when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.
ଏବଂ ହାନାନ ଓ କୟାଫା ମହାଯାଜକ ଥିଲେ, ସେତେବେଳେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟ ପ୍ରାନ୍ତରରେ ଜିଖରୀୟଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲା।
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
ସେଥିରେ ସେ ଯର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀର ନିକଟବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ସମସ୍ତ ଅଞ୍ଚଳକୁ ଯାଇ ପାପ କ୍ଷମା ନିମନ୍ତେ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନର ବାପ୍ତିସ୍ମ ଘୋଷଣା କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ,
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!
ଯେପରି ଯିଶାଇୟ ଭାବବାଦୀଙ୍କ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ ଲିଖିତ ଅଛି, ପ୍ରାନ୍ତରରେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ଶବ୍ଦ କରୁଥିବା ଜଣକର ସ୍ୱର, ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପଥ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କର, ତାହାଙ୍କ ରାଜପଥ ସଳଖ କର;
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;
ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଉପତ୍ୟକା ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରାଯିବ, ପୁଣି, ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ପର୍ବତ ଓ ଉପପର୍ବତ ନୀଚ କରାଯିବ, ବକ୍ର ପଥସବୁ ସିଧା ହେବ, ଆଉ ଉଚ୍ଚ ନୀଚ ଭୂମି ସମତଳ ପଥରେ ପରିଣତ ହେବ;
6 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”
ପୁଣି, ସମସ୍ତ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ ଦେଖିବେ।
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that came forth to be baptized by him, Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
ଅତଏବ, ଯୋହନ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ବାପ୍ତିଜିତ ହେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ବାହାରି ଆସୁଥିବା ଲୋକସମୂହକୁ କହିଲେ, ରେ କାଳସର୍ପର ବଂଶ, ଆଗାମୀ କ୍ରୋଧରୁ ପଳାୟନ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ କିଏ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଚେତନା ଦେଲା?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
ଏଣୁ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନର ଉପଯୁକ୍ତ ଫଳ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କର; ପୁଣି, ଅବ୍ରହାମ ତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପିତା, ମନେ ମନେ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଏପରି କୁହ ନାହିଁ; କାରଣ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି, ଈଶ୍ବର ଏହି ପଥରଗୁଡ଼ାକରୁ ଅବ୍ରହାମଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ସନ୍ତାନ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରିପାରନ୍ତି।
9 And already also is the axe lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that beareth not good fruit is to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
ଆଉ, ଏବେ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଗଛଗୁଡ଼ାକ ମୂଳରେ କୁରାଢ଼ୀ ଲାଗିଅଛି; ଅତଏବ ଯେକୌଣସି ଗଛ ଭଲ ଫଳ ନ ଫଳେ, ତାହା ହଣାଯାଇ ନିଆଁରେ ପକାଯିବ।
10 And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
ଏଥିରେ ଲୋକସମୂହ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ତାହାହେଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କଅଣ କରିବା?
11 He answered and said to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.
ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଯାହାର ଦୁଇଟି ଅଙ୍ଗରଖା ଅଛି, ସେ ଯାହାର ନାହିଁ, ତାହାକୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଦେଉ; ପୁଣି, ଯାହାର ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଅଛି, ସେ ସେହିପରି କରୁ।
12 And there came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
କରଗ୍ରାହୀମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ବାପ୍ତିସ୍ମ ପାଇବାକୁ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ହେ ଗୁରୁ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କଅଣ କରିବା?
13 And he said to them, Exact no more than hath been ordered you.
ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଯେତିକି ନିୟମ ଅଛି, ତାହାଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ଆଦାୟ କର ନାହିଁ।
14 And soldiers also asked him, saying, And what must we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no one, accuse no one falsely, and be content with your wages.
ସୈନିକମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କଅଣ କରିବା? ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ବଳରେ କି ଛଳରେ କାହାର ଧନ ହରଣ କର ନାହିଁ, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବେତନରେ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇଥାଅ।
15 And while the people were in expectation, and all were considering in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ,
ଲୋକେ ଅପେକ୍ଷାରେ ଥିବାରୁ ଓ ଯୋହନ କେଜାଣି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ହେବେ, ଏହା ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ମନରେ ତର୍କବିତର୍କ କରୁଥିବାରୁ,
16 John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
ଯୋହନ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ମୁଁ ସିନା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଜଳରେ ବାପ୍ତିସ୍ମ ଦେଉଅଛି, ମାତ୍ର ମୋʼଠାରୁ ଯେ ଅଧିକ ଶକ୍ତିମାନ, ସେ ଆସୁଅଛନ୍ତି, ତାହାଙ୍କର ପାଦୁକାର ବନ୍ଧନ ଫିଟାଇବାକୁ ମୁଁ ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ନୁହେଁ; ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା ଓ ଅଗ୍ନିରେ ବାପ୍ତିସ୍ମ ଦେବେ।
17 His winnowing-shovel is in his hand to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
ଆପଣା ଖଳା ଉତ୍ତମ ରୂପେ ପରିଷ୍କାର କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଓ ନିଜ ଅମାରରେ ଗହମ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରି ରଖିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ହାତରେ କୁଲା ଅଛି, କିନ୍ତୁ ଅଗାଡ଼ିଯାକ ସେ ଅନନ୍ତ ଅଗ୍ନିରେ ପୋଡ଼ିପକାଇବେ।
18 And giving many other exhortations he published the glad tidings to the people.
ସେ ଏହିପରି ଅନେକ ଉପଦେଶ ଦେଇ, ପୁଣି, ବିଭିନ୍ନ ପ୍ରକାର ଉତ୍ସାହଜନକ ବାକ୍ୟ କହି ଲୋକଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ସୁସମ୍ବାଦ ପ୍ରଚାର କରୁଥିଲେ;
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias the wife of his brother, and on account of all the evil deeds which Herod had done,
କିନ୍ତୁ ସାମନ୍ତରାଜା ହେରୋଦ ନିଜ ଭାଇଙ୍କ ଭାର୍ଯ୍ୟା ହେରୋଦିଆଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ଏବଂ ନିଜେ କରିଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ଦୁଷ୍କର୍ମ ବିଷୟରେ ଯୋହନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଅନୁଯୋଗ ପାଇବାରୁ,
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
ସେ ଯୋହନଙ୍କୁ କାରାଗାରରେ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରି ନିଜର ସମସ୍ତ ଦୁଷ୍କର୍ମ ସହିତ ଏହା ମଧ୍ୟ ଯୋଗ କଲେ।
21 And it came to pass, when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying, that the heaven was opened,
ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକ ବାପ୍ତିଜିତ ହେଲା ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ବାପ୍ତିଜିତ ହୋଇ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଆକାଶ ଖୋଲା ହେଲା,
22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in a bodily shape as a dove; and a voice came from heaven: “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
ପୁଣି, ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା କପୋତର ଦେହ ଧାରଣ କରି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଉପରକୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସିଲେ; ଆଉ ଆକାଶରୁ ଏହି ବାଣୀ ହେଲା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରିୟ ପୁତ୍ର, ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରେ ଆମ୍ଭର ପରମ ସନ୍ତୋଷ।
23 And Jesus himself was, when he began, about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,
ଯୀଶୁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିବା ସମୟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରାୟ ତିରିଶ ବର୍ଷ ବୟସ ହୋଇଥିଲା; ଲୋକଙ୍କ ଧାରଣାନୁସାରେ ସେ ଯୋଷେଫଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର; ଯୋଷେଫ ଏଲୀଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର,
