Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଆଉ ସତୁରି ଜଣଙ୍କୁ ନିଯୁକ୍ତ କଲେ ଓ ନିଜେ ଯେଉଁ ଯେଉଁ ନଗର ଓ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଯିବା ପାଇଁ ଉଦ୍ୟତ ଥିଲେ, ସେହି ସେହି ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଦୁଇ ଦୁଇ ଜଣ କରି ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆପଣା ଆଗେ ପଠାଇଲେ।
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
ପୁଣି, ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଶସ୍ୟ ସିନା ପ୍ରଚୁର, ମାତ୍ର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକାରୀମାନେ ଅଳ୍ପ; ଏଣୁ ଆପଣା ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ରକୁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଦେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ରର ମାଲିକଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ନିବେଦନ କର।
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯାଅ; ଦେଖ, ବାଘମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ମେଣ୍ଢାଛୁଆମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଉଅଛି।
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
ଥଳି, ଝୋଲି ଓ ଜୋତା ନିଅ ନାହିଁ, ପୁଣି, ବାଟରେ କାହାକୁ ନମସ୍କାର କର ନାହିଁ।
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
ଆଉ, ଯେକୌଣସି ଗୃହରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିବ, ପ୍ରଥମେ କୁହ, ଏହି ଗୃହ ପ୍ରତି ଶାନ୍ତି ହେଉ।
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
ଆଉ, ସେ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଯଦି ଜଣେ ଶାନ୍ତିର ପାତ୍ର ଥାଏ, ତାହାହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଶାନ୍ତି ତାହାର ଉପରେ ଅଧିଷ୍ଠାନ କରିବ; କିନ୍ତୁ ଯଦି ନ ଥାଏ, ତେବେ ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଫେରିଆସିବ।
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
ପୁଣି, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖରେ ଯାହା ଥାଏ, ତାହା ଭୋଜନପାନ କରି ସେହି ଗୃହରେ ରୁହ, କାରଣ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକାରୀ ଆପଣା ବେତନର ଯୋଗ୍ୟ। ଘରକୁ ଘର ଯାଅ ନାହିଁ।
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
ପୁଣି, ଯେକୌଣସି ନଗରରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କର ଓ ଲୋକେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରନ୍ତି, ସେଠାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯାହା ଦିଆଯାଏ, ତାହା ଭୋଜନ କର,
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
ସେ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଥିବା ପୀଡ଼ିତମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କର, ଆଉ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କୁହ, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ୟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସନ୍ନିକଟ।
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେକୌଣସି ନଗରରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କର ଓ ଲୋକେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ, ସେଥିର ଦାଣ୍ଡମାନଙ୍କୁ ବାହାରିଯାଇ କୁହ,
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନଗରର ଯେଉଁ ଧୂଳି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଦରେ ଲାଗିଅଛି, ତାହା ସୁଧା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଝାଡ଼ି ଦେଉଅଛୁ; ତଥାପି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ୟ ଯେ ସନ୍ନିକଟ, ଏହା ଜାଣିଥାଅ।
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି, ବିଚାର ଦିନରେ ସେହି ନଗରର ଦଣ୍ଡ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ସଦୋମର ଦଣ୍ଡକୁ ସହି ହେବ।”
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
“ହାୟ, ଦଣ୍ଡର ପାତ୍ର କୋରାଜୀନ୍, ହାୟ, ଦଣ୍ଡର ପାତ୍ର ବେଥ୍ସାଇଦା, କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଯେଉଁ ଯେଉଁ ମହତର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରାଯାଇଅଛି, ସେହିସବୁ ଯେବେ ସୋର ଓ ସୀଦୋନରେ କରାଯାଇଥାଆନ୍ତା, ତେବେ ସେମାନେ ଅନେକ କାଳ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଅଖା ପିନ୍ଧି ପାଉଁଶରେ ବସି ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରିଥାଆନ୍ତେ।
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
ତଥାପି ବିଚାରରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ସୋର ଓ ସୀଦୋନର ଦଣ୍ଡ ସହି ହେବ।
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
ଆଉ, ରେ କଫର୍ନାହୂମ ତୁ କଅଣ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଉନ୍ନତ ହେବୁ? ପାତାଳ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତୋର ପତନ ହେବ।” (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର କଥା ଶୁଣେ, ସେ ମୋʼ କଥା ଶୁଣେ, ପୁଣି, ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅଗ୍ରାହ୍ୟ କରେ, ସେ ମୋତେ ଅଗ୍ରାହ୍ୟ କରେ, ଆଉ ଯେ ମୋତେ ଅଗ୍ରାହ୍ୟ କରେ, ସେ ମୋʼ ପ୍ରେରଣକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କୁ ଅଗ୍ରାହ୍ୟ କରେ।
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
ଏଥିଉତ୍ତାରେ ସେହି ସତୁରି ଜଣ ଫେରିଆସି ଆନନ୍ଦରେ କହିଲେ, ପ୍ରଭୁ, ଭୂତମାନେ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଆପଣଙ୍କ ନାମରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବଶୀଭୂତ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ବିଜୁଳି ପରି ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରୁ ଶୟତାନକୁ ପଡ଼ିବା ମୁଁ ଦେଖୁଥିଲି।
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
ଦେଖ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାପ ଓ ବିଛା ଉପରେ ଚାଲିବାକୁ କ୍ଷମତା ଦେଇଅଛି, ପୁଣି, ଶତ୍ରୁର ସମସ୍ତ ଶକ୍ତି ଉପରେ ମଧ୍ୟ କ୍ଷମତା ଦେଇଅଛି, ଆଉ କିଛି ହେଲେ କୌଣସି ପ୍ରକାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର କ୍ଷତି କରିବ ନାହିଁ।
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
ତଥାପି ଆତ୍ମାମାନେ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବଶୀଭୂତ ଅଟନ୍ତି, ଏଥିରେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କର ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନାମ ଯେ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରେ ଲେଖାଅଛି, ଏଥିରେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କର।”
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
ସେହି ସମୟରେ ସେ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କଠାରେ ଉଲ୍ଲସିତ ହୋଇ କହିଲେ, “ପିତା ସ୍ୱର୍ଗ ଓ ପୃଥିବୀର ପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜ୍ଞାନୀ ଓ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ଗୁପ୍ତ ରଖି ଶିଶୁମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କଲ, ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରୁଅଛି; ହଁ, ପିତା, କାରଣ ଏହା ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିରେ ସନ୍ତୋଷର ବିଷୟ ହେଲା।”
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
“ମୋହର ପିତାଙ୍କ ଅଧିକାରର ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ମୋʼ ଠାରେ ସମର୍ପିତ ହୋଇଅଛି; ଆଉ, ପୁତ୍ର କିଏ, ଏହା ପିତାଙ୍କ ବିନା କେହି ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ, ପୁଣି, ପିତା କିଏ, ଏହା ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କ ବିନା କେହି ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ, ଆଉ ପୁତ୍ର ଯାହା ନିକଟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରନ୍ତି, ସେ ଜାଣେ।”
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
ପୁଣି, ସେ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ବୁଲିପଡ଼ି କେବଳ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯାହା ଯାହା ଦେଖୁଅଛ, ସେହିସବୁ ଯେଉଁ ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଦେଖେ, ତାହା ଧନ୍ୟ।
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
କାରଣ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯାହା ଯାହା ଦେଖୁଅଛ ସେହିସବୁ ଅନେକ ଭାବବାଦୀ ଓ ରାଜା ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଦେଖିଲେ ନାହିଁ; ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯାହା ଯାହା ଶୁଣୁଅଛ ସେହିସବୁ ସେମାନେ ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଶୁଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ।”
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ଜଣେ ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାଶାସ୍ତ୍ରଜ୍ଞ ଉଠି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପରୀକ୍ଷା କରି ପଚାରିଲେ, ହେ ଗୁରୁ, ଅନନ୍ତ ଜୀବନର ଅଧିକାରୀ ହେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ମୁଁ କଅଣ କରିବି? (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
ସେଥିରେ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାରେ କଅଣ ଲେଖାଅଛି? ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିପରି ପାଠ କରୁଅଛ?”
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣାର ସମସ୍ତ ଅନ୍ତଃକରଣ, ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣ, ସମସ୍ତ ଶକ୍ତି ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ମନ ଦେଇ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଆପଣା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରେମ କର; ପୁଣି, ଆପଣା ପ୍ରତିବାସୀକୁ ଆତ୍ମତୁଲ୍ୟ ପ୍ରେମ କର।
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
ସେଥିରେ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଠିକ୍ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲ; ଏହା କର, ତାହାହେଲେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜୀବନ ପାଇବ।”
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଆପଣାକୁ ଧାର୍ମିକ ବୋଲି ଦେଖାଇବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତେବେ ମୋହର ପ୍ରତିବାସୀ କିଏ?
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
ଯୀଶୁ ସେହି ପ୍ରସଙ୍ଗ ଧରି କହିଲେ, “ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ଯିରୂଶାଲମ ସହରରୁ ଯିରୀହୋକୁ ଯାଉ ଯାଉ ଡକାଇତମାନଙ୍କ ହାବୁଡ଼ରେ ପଡ଼ିଲା। ସେମାନେ ତାହାର ଲୁଗାପଟା ଛଡ଼ାଇନେଇ ଓ ମାଡ଼ ମାରି ତାହାକୁ ଦରମରା ଅବସ୍ଥାରେ ଛାଡ଼ି ଚାଲିଗଲେ।
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
ଘଟଣା ପରେ-ପରେ ଜଣେ ଯାଜକ ସେହି ବାଟ ଦେଇ ଯାଉଥିଲେ, ଆଉ ସେ ତାହାକୁ ଦେଖି ବାଟର ଆରପାଖ ଦେଇ ଗଲେ।
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
ସେହି ପ୍ରକାରେ ଜଣେ ଲେବୀୟ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଆସି ତାହାକୁ ଦେଖି ବାଟର ଆରପାଖ ଦେଇ ଚାଲିଗଲେ।
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଜଣେ ଶମିରୋଣୀୟ ପଥିକ ତାହା ନିକଟକୁ ଆସି ତାହାକୁ ଦେଖି ଦୟାରେ ବିଗଳିତ ହେଲେ,
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
ଏବଂ ପାଖକୁ ଯାଇ ତାହାର କ୍ଷତ ସବୁରେ ତୈଳ ଓ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ଢ଼ାଳି ସେହିସବୁ ବାନ୍ଧିଦେଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାକୁ ନିଜ ଗଧ ଉପରେ ବସାଇ ତାହାକୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ପାନ୍ଥଶାଳାକୁ ନେଇଯାଇ ତାହାର ସେବା କଲେ।
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
ତହିଁ ଆରଦିନ ସେ ଦୁଇଟି ରୌପ୍ୟ-ମୁଦ୍ରା ବାହାର କରି ପାନ୍ଥଶାଳାର ମାଲିକଙ୍କୁ ଦେଇ କହିଲେ, ‘ଏହାର ସେବା କର, ଆଉ ଯାହା କିଛି ଅଧିକ ଖର୍ଚ୍ଚ କରିବ, ତାହା ମୁଁ ଫେରିଆସିବା ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପରିଶୋଧ କରିବି।’”
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
“ଏହି ତିନି ଜଣଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ କିଏ ଡକାଇତମାନଙ୍କ ହାବୁଡ଼ରେ ପଡ଼ିଥିବା ଲୋକଟିର ପ୍ରତିବାସୀ ବୋଲି ମନେ କରୁଅଛ?”
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
ସେ କହିଲେ, ଯେ ତାହା ପ୍ରତି ଦୟା କଲା, ସେ। ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଯାଅ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେହି ପ୍ରକାର କର।”
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
ସେମାନେ ଯାତ୍ରା କରୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଗ୍ରାମରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କଲେ ଏବଂ ମାର୍ଥା ନାମରେ ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ନିଜ ଘରକୁ ଡାକିଲେ।
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
ତାହାଙ୍କର ଜଣେ ଭଉଣୀ ଥିଲେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ନାମ ମରୀୟମ, ସେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ପାଦ ତଳେ ବସି ତାହାଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟ ଶୁଣୁଥିଲେ।
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
କିନ୍ତୁ ମାର୍ଥା ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିବାରେ ବହୁତ ବ୍ୟସ୍ତ ହେଉଥିଲେ; ଏଣୁ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସି କହିଲେ, ହେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୋହର ଭଉଣୀ ଯେ ଏକାକୀ ମୋʼ ଉପରେ ପରିଚର୍ଯ୍ୟାର ଭାର ପକାଇ ଦେଇଅଛି ସେ ଆଡ଼କୁ କଅଣ ଆପଣଙ୍କର ମନ ନାହିଁ? ତେବେ ମୋତେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ତାହାକୁ କୁହନ୍ତୁ।
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
କିନ୍ତୁ ପ୍ରଭୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ମାର୍ଥା, ମାର୍ଥା, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବହୁତ ବିଷୟରେ ଚିନ୍ତିତ ଓ ବ୍ୟତିବ୍ୟସ୍ତ ହେଉଅଛ,
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
କିନ୍ତୁ ଅଳ୍ପ କେତୋଟି, ବରଂ ଗୋଟିଏ ମାତ୍ର ଆବଶ୍ୟକ; ମରୀୟମ ତ ଉତ୍ତମ ଭାଗ ମନୋନୀତ କରିଅଛି, ଆଉ ତାହା ତାହାଠାରୁ ନିଆଯିବ ନାହିଁ।”
