Matthew 12
1 During that period of time, on a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), Jesus [and we] disciples were walking through some grain fields. And because we were hungry, we began to pick some of the heads of grain and eat them. [The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
ସେହି ସମୟରେ ଯୀଶୁ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନରେ ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ର ଦେଇ ଗଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ କ୍ଷୁଧିତ ହୋଇ ଶସ୍ୟର ଶିଁଷା ଛିଣ୍ଡାଇ ଖାଇବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
2 Some Pharisees saw us [do what they considered to be work]. So they said to Jesus, [accusing him], “Look! Your disciples are doing [work] that is not permitted [in our] laws [PRS] [for us] to do on our day of rest!”
କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ତାହା ଦେଖି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଦେଖ, ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନରେ ଯାହା କରିବା ବିଧିସଙ୍ଗତ ନୁହେଁ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି।
3 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he said to them, “[It is written] {[Someone wrote]} [in the Scriptures] [RHQ] what [our revered ancestor King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies!/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
ମାତ୍ର ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଦାଉଦ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗୀମାନେ କ୍ଷୁଧିତ ହେବା ସମୟରେ ସେ କଅଣ କରୁଥିଲେ, ତାହା କି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପାଠ କରି ନାହଁ?
4 David entered the big tent [where they worshipped] God [and asked for some food. The high priest gave him] the bread that had been {they had} presented [to God]. According to the laws [of Moses], only priests were permitted to eat that bread, but David and the men who were with him ate it. And [God did not consider that what they did was wrong]
ସେ କିପରି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଗୃହରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି, ଯେଉଁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗୀକୃତ ରୁଟି କେବଳ ଯାଜକମାନଙ୍କ ଭୋଜନ କରିବା ବିଧିସଙ୍ଗତ ଥିଲା, କିନ୍ତୁ ତାଙ୍କର ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗୀମାନଙ୍କର ଭୋଜନ କରିବା ବିଧିସଙ୍ଗତ ନ ଥିଲା, ତାହା ସେମାନେ ଭୋଜନ କରିଥିଲେ।
5 Also, think about the laws that [Moses wrote] [RHQ]. He said that [even though] the priests, [by working] in the Temple on our Jewish day of rest, are not obeying the Jewish day of rest [laws], they are not guilty. You have surely read that, [but you do not understand what it means].
କିମ୍ବା ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନରେ ଯାଜକମାନେ ମନ୍ଦିର ମଧ୍ୟରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାରକୁ ଅପବିତ୍ର କଲେ ହେଁ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦୋଷ ଅଟନ୍ତି, ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ କଅଣ ଏହା ପାଠ କରି ନାହଁ?
6 Note this: [God allows men to work in] the Temple [on our rest day because that work must be done. But in addition, I] tell you that [I have] more [authority than the authority of] the Temple. So, it is more important for you to obey my teachings than to obey your traditions about our rest day.
ମାତ୍ର ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି, ମନ୍ଦିର ଅପେକ୍ଷା ମହତ ବିଷୟ ଏଠାରେ ଅଛି।
7 [You should think about] these words [of God in the Scriptures]: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully toward people, and not [just] offer sacrifices.’ If you understood what that means, you would not condemn [my disciples], who have done no wrong.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ବଳିଦାନ ଭଲ ନ ପାଇ ଦୟା ଭଲ ପାଉ, ଏ ଉକ୍ତିର ଅର୍ଥ ଯେବେ ଜାଣିଥାଆନ୍ତ, ତେବେ ଏହି ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦୋଷ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଦୋଷୀ କରି ନ ଥାଆନ୍ତ।
8 [And I want you to know that] I, the one who came from heaven, have [the] authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the days of rest.”
କାରଣ ମନୁଷ୍ୟପୁତ୍ର ବିଶ୍ରାମବାରର ପ୍ରଭୁ ଅଟନ୍ତି।”
9 After Jesus left there [that day], he went into a building where we Jews worship God.
ସେ ସେହି ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ଚାଲିଯାଇ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମାଜଗୃହରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କଲେ।
10 [He saw] a man with a shriveled hand there. [The Pharisees thought that Jesus would be disobeying the tradition about not working on the day of rest if he healed the man, so one of] them asked him, “Does [God] permit [us] to heal [people] on our day of rest?” [They asked that question] so that they might accuse him [if he healed someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day).
ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ସେଠାରେ ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ଥିଲା, ତାହାର ଗୋଟିଏ ହାତ ଶୁଖିଯାଇଥିଲା। ପୁଣି, ସେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଅଭିଯୋଗ କରିବା ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ୟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନରେ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରିବା କଅଣ ବିଧିସଙ୍ଗତ?
11 He replied to them, “Would anyone among you who has [only] one sheep that falls into a hole (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) [just leave it there] [RHQ]? [Certainly not]! You would take hold of it and lift it out right away, [and that would be acceptable work on our day of rest, too]
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଯଦି କାହାରି ଗୋଟିଏ ମେଣ୍ଢା ଥାଏ ଓ ତାହା ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନରେ ଖାତରେ ପଡ଼ିଯାଏ, ତାହାହେଲେ ଯେ ତାହାକୁ ଧରି ନ ଉଠାଇବ, ଏପରି ଲୋକ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କିଏ ଅଛି?
12 [Because] sheep are valuable, [their owners may work on our day of rest in order to rescue them. So, because] people are more valuable than sheep, it is certainly right for us to do something good [by healing another person any day, including] our day of rest!”
ତେବେ, ମେଣ୍ଢାଠାରୁ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଆହୁରି କେତେ ଅଧିକ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ। ଏଣୁ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନରେ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ସାଧନ କରିବା ବିଧିସଙ୍ଗତ।
13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your [withered] hand!” The man stretched it out, and it became normal like the other hand!
ସେତେବେଳେ ସେ ସେହି ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ହାତ ବଢ଼ାଅ।” ସେଥିରେ ସେ ହାତ ବଢ଼ାଇଲା ଓ ତାହା ଅନ୍ୟ ହାତ ପରି ପୁଣି, ଭଲ ହୋଇଗଲା।
14 Then the Pharisees left [the meeting house. They were worried that the people would reject their traditions and would accept Jesus’ teaching instead. So] they met together to plan how they could kill him.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ବାହାରିଯାଇ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ବିନାଶ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଣା କଲେ।
15 Because Jesus knew [that the Pharisees were plotting to kill him], he [took us disciples and] went away from there. Crowds, [including many sick people], followed him, [wanting him to heal them], and he healed them all.
ଯୀଶୁ ତାହା ଜାଣି ସେଠାରୁ ଅଲଗା ହୋଇ ବାହାରିଗଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଅନେକେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପଛେ ପଛେ ଗଲେ, ଆଉ ସେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କଲେ
16 But he told them firmly that they should not tell [other people yet] who he was.
ଏବଂ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ ନ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୃଢ଼ରୂପେ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ,
17 [By acting humbly like that] he fulfilled what was written by Isaiah the prophet {what Isaiah the prophet wrote} [long ago about the Messiah]. [Isaiah wrote] that God said:
ଯେପରି, ଯିଶାଇୟ ଭାବବାଦୀଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଉକ୍ତ ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟ ସଫଳ ହୁଏ,
18 Take note of my servant whom I have chosen, the one whom I love and with whom I am pleased. I will put my Spirit in him, and he will proclaim that [God] will judge the non-Jews justly.
ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭର ଦାସ, ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ମନୋନୀତ କରିଅଛୁ; ଆମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରିୟପାତ୍ର, ଯାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ଆମ୍ଭ ଆତ୍ମାର ପରମ ସନ୍ତୋଷ; ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଆପଣା ଆତ୍ମା ଅଧିଷ୍ଠାନ କରାଇବା, ଆଉ ସେ ଅଣଯିହୁଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖରେ ନ୍ୟାୟବିଚାର ପ୍ରଚାର କରିବେ।
19 He will not quarrel [with people], neither will he shout. He will not [teach with] a loud voice in the [main] streets.
ସେ ବିବାଦ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ, କିମ୍ବା ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ୱର କରିବେ ନାହିଁ, କିମ୍ବା ଦାଣ୍ଡରେ କେହି ତାହାଙ୍କ ସ୍ୱର ଶୁଣିବ ନାହିଁ।
20 Until he has justly judged [the people who trust in him and] has declared them not guilty, he will not destroy [anyone who is weak like] a smashed stalk [MET], nor will he silence [anyone who is as helpless as] a smoldering [linen] wick [MET, DOU].
ନ୍ୟାୟକୁ ଜୟଯୁକ୍ତ ନ କରିବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସେ ଛେଚା-ନଳ ଭାଙ୍ଗିବେ ନାହିଁ, ପୁଣି, ସଧୂମ ସଳିତା ଲିଭାଇବେ ନାହିଁ।
21 As a result, the non-Jews will confidently expect [that he will do great things for them].
ଆଉ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ନାମରେ ଅଣଯିହୁଦୀମାନେ ଭରସା ରଖିବେ।
22 One day when Jesus was at home, [some men] brought to [Jesus] a man [who, because of being] controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}, was blind and unable to speak. [Jesus] healed him [by expelling the demon]. As a result, the man [began to] talk and [was able to] see.
ସେହି ସମୟରେ ଜଣେ ଭୂତଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ଅନ୍ଧ ଘୁଙ୍ଗାଲୋକକୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଅଣାଗଲା, ଆଉ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କଲେ; ସେଥିରେ ସେହି ଘୁଙ୍ଗା କଥା କହି ପାରିଲା ଓ ଦେଖି ପାରିଲା।
23 All the crowd [who saw it] marveled. They began asking [each other], “Could this man be the [Messiah, the] descendant of [King] David, [whom we have been expecting]?”
ପୁଣି, ଲୋକସମୂହ ଆଚମ୍ଭିତ ହୋଇ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ ଏ କଅଣ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତାନ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି?
24 Because the Pharisees [and the men who taught the Jewish laws] heard [that the people thought that Jesus might be the Messiah because he had expelled the demon], they said, “[It is not God, but] Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons [from people!]”
ମାତ୍ର ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ତାହା ଶୁଣି କହିଲେ, ଏ ଲୋକଟା ଭୂତପତି ବାଲ୍ଜିବୂଲ୍ର ବିନା ସାହାଯ୍ୟରେ ଭୂତ ଛଡ଼ାଏ ନାହିଁ।
25 But Jesus knew what [the Pharisees] were thinking [and saying]. So, [in order to show them that what they said did not make sense], he said to them, “If [the people in] [MTY] one nation fight against each other, [they] will destroy their nation {their nation will be destroyed}. If [people who live in] the same city or house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one group or family].
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମନର ଚିନ୍ତା ଜାଣି ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଯେକୌଣସି ରାଜ୍ୟ ବିଭକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଆପଣା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଉଠେ ତାହା ଧ୍ୱଂସ ହୋଇ ଯାଏ; ପୁଣି, ଯେକୌଣସି ନଗରରେ କିମ୍ବା ଗୃହ ବିଭକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଆପଣା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଉଠେ, ତାହା ସ୍ଥିର ହୋଇ ରହିବ ନାହିଁ।
26 [Similarly], if Satan were expelling his own [demons] [MTY], [it would be as though] he was fighting against himself. (His kingdom would not continue!/How could his kingdom continue?) [RHQ] His rule over them would [certainly] not last!
ଆଉ, ଶୟତାନ ଯଦି ଶୟତାନକୁ ଛଡ଼ାଏ, ତାହାହେଲେ ସେ ବିଭକ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଆପଣା ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଉଠିଲାଣି ତେବେ ତାହାର ରାଜ୍ୟ କିପ୍ରକାରେ ସ୍ଥିର ହୋଇ ରହିବ?
27 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, is it also true that your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No] So they will show you that you [are not thinking logically].
ମୁଁ ଯେବେ ବାଲ୍ଜିବୂଲ୍ର ସାହାଯ୍ୟରେ ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କୁ ବାହାର କରେ ତେବେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ କାହା ସାହାଯ୍ୟରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ବାହାର କରନ୍ତି। ଏଣୁ ସେମାନେ ହିଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ବିଚାରକର୍ତ୍ତା ହେବେ।
28 But because it is God’s Spirit who [enables] me to expel demons, [that proves that the power of] God to rule [people’s lives] has come to you.
କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ଯଦି ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ସାହାଯ୍ୟରେ ଭୂତମାନଙ୍କୁ ଛଡ଼ାଏ, ତେବେ ତ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ରାଜ୍ୟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲାଣି।
29 [I will illustrate why I am able to expel demons]. (A person cannot go into the house of a strong man) [RHQ] [But if he ties up the strong man], then he will be able to steal [the things in that man’s] house.
ଅବା କେହି ପ୍ରଥମେ ବଳବାନ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ନ ବାନ୍ଧିଲେ କିପ୍ରକାରେ ତାହା ଘରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ତାହାର ଅସ୍ତ୍ରଶସ୍ତ୍ର ସବୁ ଚୋରି କରିପାରେ? ତାହାକୁ ଆଗେ ବାନ୍ଧିଲେ ସିନା ତାହାର ଗୃହ ଲୁଣ୍ଠନ କରିବ।
30 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not acknowledge [that the Holy Spirit enables] me [to expel demons] are opposing me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to [DOU] go away [from me].
ଯେ ମୋହର ସପକ୍ଷ ନୁହେଁ, ସେ ମୋହର ବିପକ୍ଷ, ପୁଣି, ଯେ ମୋʼ ସହିତ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରେ ନାହିଁ, ସେ ଛିନ୍ନଭିନ୍ନ କରିପକାଏ।
31 You [are saying that it is not the Holy Spirit who is enabling me to expel demons]. So I will say this to you: [If] those who offend and slander other people in any way are [then sorry and ask God to forgive them, God] will forgive them. But people who discredit what the Holy Spirit does will not be forgiven {[God] will not forgive [people] who discredit what the Holy Spirit does}.
ଅତଏବ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି, ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ପାପ ଓ ନିନ୍ଦା କ୍ଷମା କରାଯିବ, କିନ୍ତୁ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ ନିନ୍ଦା କ୍ଷମା କରାଯିବ ନାହିଁ।
32 [God is willing to] forgive people who criticize [me], the One who came from heaven. But I [warn you that] those who say evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does] will not be forgiven {[God] will not forgive people who speak evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does]}. They will not be forgiven {[He] will not forgive them} now, and they will never be forgiven {[he] will never forgive them}.” (aiōn g165)
ଆଉ, ଯେ କେହି ମନୁଷ୍ୟପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ କଥା କହିବ, ତାହାକୁ କ୍ଷମା ଦିଆଯିବ, ମାତ୍ର ଯେ କେହି ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧରେ କଥା କହିବ, ଏହି ଯୁଗରେ କି ଆଗାମୀ ଯୁଗରେ ତାହାକୁ କ୍ଷମା ଦିଆଯିବ ନାହିଁ।” (aiōn g165)
33 “Think about this: You can know whether [a person is good and what that person says is good, in the same way that you] can know whether a tree [MET] and the fruit it produces [MET] are good. [You can also know whether a person and what that person says is evil in the same way that you can know] whether a tree [MET] and its fruit [MET] are blighted. You can know whether a tree is good by [seeing] its fruit, and similarly [people can know the evil character of you Pharisees by listening to your accusations against me].
“ଗଛକୁ ଭଲ କୁହ ଓ ତାହାର ଫଳକୁ ଭଲ କୁହ ନ ହେଲେ ଗଛକୁ ମନ୍ଦ କୁହ ଓ ତାହାର ଫଳକୁ ମନ୍ଦ କୁହ, କାରଣ ଫଳ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଗଛ ଚିହ୍ନାଯାଏ।
34 [What] you [teach harms people spiritually like poisonous] snakes [harm them physically] [MET]! You are not able to speak good things because you are evil [RHQ]. Evil people [SYN] [like you] speak what comes from all that is in their (inner beings/hearts).
ରେ କାଳସର୍ପର ବଂଶ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇ କିପ୍ରକାରେ ଭଲ କଥା କହିପାର? କାରଣ ହୃଦୟର ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣତାରୁ ମୁଖ କଥା କହେ।
35 Good people [speak good things. That is like] taking good things out of buildings where they are stored. But evil people [speak evil things. That is like] taking evil things out of buildings where they are stored.
ଉତ୍ତମ ଲୋକ ଉତ୍ତମ ଭଣ୍ଡାରରୁ ଉତ୍ତମ ପଦାର୍ଥ ବାହାର କରେ, ପୁଣି, ମନ୍ଦ ଲୋକ ମନ୍ଦ ଭଣ୍ଡାରରୁ ମନ୍ଦ ପଦାର୍ଥ ବାହାର କରେ।
36 I tell you that on the day when God judges [MTY], he will make people recall every useless word they have spoken, [and he will judge them accordingly].
କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନେ ଯେକୌଣସି ଅସାର କଥା କହନ୍ତି, ବିଚାର ଦିନରେ ସେମାନେ ସେଥିର ଉତ୍ତର ଦେବେ;
37 Based on the words that you have spoken, [God] will [either] declare that you are righteous based on the words that you have spoken, or [else] he will condemn you.”
ଯେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବାକ୍ୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦୋଷ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବାକ୍ୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଦୋଷୀ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରମାଣିତ ହେବ।”
38 Then some of the Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws responded [to what Jesus was teaching] by saying to him, “Teacher, we want to see you [perform] a miracle [that would prove to us that God sent you].”
ସେତେବେଳେ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ କେତେକ ଜଣ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ ହେ ଗୁରୁ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆପଣଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଚିହ୍ନ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଅଛୁ।
39 Then Jesus said to them, “[You] people [have already seen me perform miracles], but you are evil, and you do not faithfully worship God [MET]! You want [me to perform] a miracle [that would prove to you that God sent me], but [God will enable] you to see only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened to Jonah the prophet [MET].
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, “ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଓ ବ୍ୟଭିଚାରୀ ବଂଶ ଚିହ୍ନ ଅନ୍ୱେଷଣ କରନ୍ତି, ମାତ୍ର ଭାବବାଦୀ ଯୂନସଙ୍କ ଚିହ୍ନ ବିନା ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି ଚିହ୍ନ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦିଆଯିବ ନାହିଁ।
40 Jonah was in the stomach of a huge fish for three days and nights [before God caused him to live again]. Similarly, for three days and nights I, the one who came from heaven, will be in a place [where dead people are, and then God will cause me to live again].
କାରଣ ଯୂନସ ଯେପରି ତିନି ଦିନ ଓ ତିନି ରାତି ଏକ ବୃହତ୍ ମତ୍ସ୍ୟର ପେଟରେ ଥିଲେ, ମନୁଷ୍ୟପୁତ୍ର ସେହିପରି ତିନି ଦିନ ଓ ତିନି ରାତି ଭୂଗର୍ଭରେ ରହିବେ।
41 When [God] judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand [in front of him] with [you] people who [have seen me perform miracles]. The [people of Nineveh turned from their sinful ways as a result of hearing what] Jonah preached. [Jonah was important, but I], who am more important than Jonah, [have come and preached to you, but you have not turned from your sinful ways. So] when [God] judges [all people, he] will condemn you.
ନୀନିବୀ ସହରର ଲୋକମାନେ ବିଚାରରେ ଏହି ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ପୁରୁଷ ସହିତ ଉଠି ଏମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୋଷୀ କରିବେ, କାରଣ ସେମାନେ ଯୂନସଙ୍କ ପ୍ରଚାରରେ ମନ-ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କଲେ, ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ଯୂନସଙ୍କ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ମହତ ବିଷୟ ଏ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଅଛି।
42 The queen from [Sheba, South of Israel, who lived long ago, came from a distant region in order to listen to King Solomon teach] many wise things. But now [I], [a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. So at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba will stand in front of him, along] with you people, and will condemn you.”
ଆଉ, ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ଦେଶର ରାଣୀ ବିଚାରରେ ଏହି ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ପୁରୁଷ ସହିତ ଉଠି ଏମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୋଷୀ କରିବେ କାରଣ ସେ ଶଲୋମନଙ୍କ ଜ୍ଞାନର କଥା ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ପୃଥିବୀର ପ୍ରାନ୍ତରୁ ଆସିଲେ, ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ଶଲୋମନଙ୍କ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ମହତ ବିଷୟ ଏ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ଅଛି।”
43 “[Sometimes] when an evil spirit leaves a person, it wanders around in desolate areas, seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone,
“ଅଶୁଚି ଆତ୍ମା ଜଣେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟଠାରୁ ବାହାରିଗଲା ପରେ ଜଳଶୂନ୍ୟ ସ୍ଥାନ ସବୁ ଭ୍ରମଣ କରି ବିଶ୍ରାମ ଖୋଜେ ଓ ତାହା ପାଏ ନାହିଁ।
44 it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person [MET] in whom I used to live.’ So it goes back [and finds that the Spirit of God is not in control of that] person’s [life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been swept clean and everything put in order [MET], [but it is] empty.
ସେଥିରେ ସେ କୁହେ, ମୁଁ ଯେଉଁ ଘରୁ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲି, ମୋହର ସେହି ଘରକୁ ଫେରିଯିବି; ପୁଣି, ସେ ଆସି ତାହା ଶୂନ୍ୟ, ମାର୍ଜିତ ଓ ସୁଶୋଭିତ ଦେଖେ।
45 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil, and they [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So, although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it becomes much worse. That is what [you] wicked people who [have heard me teach] will experience.”
ସେତେବେଳେ ସେ ଯାଇ ଆପଣାଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ମନ୍ଦ ଆଉ ସାତଟା ଆତ୍ମା ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ନେଇ ଆସେ, ପୁଣି, ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ସେଠାରେ ବାସ କରନ୍ତି ଆଉ ସେହି ଲୋକର ପ୍ରଥମ ଦଶା ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଶେଷ ଦଶା ମନ୍ଦ ହୁଏ। ଏହି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ପୁରୁଷ ପ୍ରତି ମଧ୍ୟ ସେହି ପ୍ରକାର ଘଟିବ।”
46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his [younger] brothers [arrived]. They stood outside [the house], wanting to speak with him.
ସେ ଲୋକସମୂହକୁ କଥା କହୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ, ଦେଖ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ମାଆ ଓ ଭାଇମାନେ ବାହାରେ ଠିଆ ହୋଇ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଥିଲେ।
47 Someone said to him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside [the house], wanting to talk to you.”
ସେଥିରେ ଜଣେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ଦେଖନ୍ତୁ, ଆପଣଙ୍କ ମାଆ ଓ ଭାଇମାନେ ବାହାରେ ଠିଆ ହୋଇ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି।
48 Then Jesus said to the person who told him [that], “([I will tell you something about] my mother and brothers [MET].[/Do you know] who I [consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [MET, RHQ]
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଏହି କଥା କହିଲା ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, “ମୋହର ମାଆ କିଏ? ଆଉ, ମୋହର ଭାଇମାନେ କିଏ?”
49 He then pointed toward [us] disciples and said, “These are ones [whom I love as much as I love] my mother and my brothers [MET].
ପୁଣି, ସେ ଆପଣା ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ଆଡ଼କୁ ହାତ ବଢ଼ାଇ କହିଲେ, “ଦେଖ, ମୋହର ମାଆ ଓ ମୋହର ଭାଇମାନେ,
50 Those who do what [God] my Father [who is] in heaven wants, are [as dear to me] [MET] [as] my brother, my sister, or my mother.”
କାରଣ ଯେ କେହି ମୋହର ସ୍ୱର୍ଗସ୍ଥ ପିତାଙ୍କ ଇଚ୍ଛା ସାଧନ କରେ, ସେ ମୋହର ଭାଇ, ଭଉଣୀ ଓ ମାଆ।”
