Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
ସେଥିରେ ଯୀଶୁ ନୌକାରେ ଚଢ଼ି ପାରି ହେଲେ ଓ ନିଜ ନଗରକୁ ଆସିଲେ।
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ଲୋକେ ଶଯ୍ୟାଗତ ଜଣେ ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀକୁ ବହି ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆଣିଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦେଖି ସେହି ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀକୁ କହିଲେ, “ବତ୍ସ, ସାହସ ଧର, ତୁମ୍ଭର ପାପସବୁ କ୍ଷମା କରାଗଲା।”
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
ଆଉ ଦେଖ, ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ କେହି କେହି ମନେ ମନେ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ଲୋକ ଈଶ୍ବର ନିନ୍ଦା କରୁଅଛି।
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମନର ଚିନ୍ତା ଜାଣି କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ମନରେ କାହିଁକି କୁଚିନ୍ତା କରୁଅଛ?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
କାରଣ କଅଣ ସହଜ? ‘ତୁମ୍ଭର ପାପସବୁ କ୍ଷମା କରାଗଲା’ ବୋଲି କହିବା, ବା, ‘ଉଠ, ଚାଲ’ ବୋଲି କହିବା?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
କିନ୍ତୁ ପୃଥିବୀରେ ପାପ କ୍ଷମା କରିବାକୁ ମନୁଷ୍ୟପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କର ଯେ ଅଧିକାର ଅଛି, ଏହା ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣିପାର,” ଏଥିପାଇଁ ସେ ପକ୍ଷାଘାତ ରୋଗୀକୁ କହିଲେ, “ଉଠ, ନିଜ ଖଟିଆ ନେଇ ଆପଣା ଘରକୁ ଚାଲିଯାଅ।”
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
ସେଥିରେ ସେ ଉଠି ଆପଣା ଘରକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲା।
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
ତାହା ଦେଖି ଲୋକସମୂହ ଭୟ କଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଯେଉଁ ଈଶ୍ବର ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏପରି ଅଧିକାର ଦେଇଅଛନ୍ତି, ତାହାଙ୍କର ମହିମା କୀର୍ତ୍ତନ କଲେ।
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
ଯୀଶୁ ସେଠାରୁ ଯାଉ ଯାଉ ମାଥିଉ ନାମକ ଜଣେ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଙ୍କୁ କର ଆଦାୟ ସ୍ଥାନରେ ବସିଥିବା ଦେଖି ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ମୋହର ଅନୁଗମନ କର।” ସେଥିରେ ସେ ଉଠି ତାହାଙ୍କର ଅନୁଗମନ କଲେ।
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
ଆଉ ଯୀଶୁ ଗୃହରେ ଭୋଜନ କରିବାକୁ ବସିବା ସମୟରେ, ଦେଖ, ଅନେକ କରଗ୍ରାହୀ ଏବଂ ପାପୀ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ବସିଲେ।
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ତାହା ଦେଖି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଗୁରୁ କାହିଁକି କରଗ୍ରାହୀ ଓ ପାପୀମାନଙ୍କ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ ଭୋଜନ କରନ୍ତି?”
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ତାହା ଶୁଣି କହିଲେ, “ସୁସ୍ଥ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ବୈଦ୍ୟଠାରେ ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଅସୁସ୍ଥ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ଅଛି।
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
କିନ୍ତୁ ‘ଆମ୍ଭେ ବଳିଦାନ ଭଲ ନ ପାଇ ଦୟା ଭଲ ପାଉ,’ ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟର ମର୍ମ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯାଇ ଶିକ୍ଷା କର, କାରଣ ମୁଁ ଧାର୍ମିକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆହ୍ୱାନ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆସି ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ପାପୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆହ୍ୱାନ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆସିଅଛି।”
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
ସେହି ସମୟରେ ଯୋହନଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସି କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଓ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ଉପବାସ କରୁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣଙ୍କ ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନେ ଉପବାସ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ କାହିଁକି?
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ବର ଯେପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବରଯାତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଥାଆନ୍ତି, ସେପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସେମାନେ କି ଶୋକ କରିପାରନ୍ତି? କିନ୍ତୁ ସମୟ ଆସିବ, ଯେତେବେଳେ ସେମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ବରଙ୍କୁ କାଢ଼ି ନିଆଯିବ, ଆଉ ସେତେବେଳେ ସେମାନେ ଉପବାସ କରିବେ।
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
କେହି ନୂଆ ଲୁଗାର ତାଳି ପୁରୁଣା ଲୁଗାରେ ପକାଏ ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ସେହି ତାଳି ଲୁଗାରୁ ବେଶୀ ଛିଣ୍ଡାଇନିଏ ଏବଂ ଆହୁରି ଅଧିକ ବଡ଼ ଚିରା ହୁଏ।
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
ଆଉ ଲୋକେ ନୂଆ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପୁରୁଣା କୁମ୍ପାରେ ରଖନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ; ରଖିଲେ କୁମ୍ପା ଫାଟିଯାଏ ଓ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପଡ଼ିଯାଏ, ଆଉ କୁମ୍ପାସବୁ ନଷ୍ଟ ହୁଏ; କିନ୍ତୁ ଲୋକେ ନୂଆ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ନୂଆ କୁମ୍ପାରେ ରଖନ୍ତି, ପୁଣି, ଉଭୟ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଏ।”
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏହିସବୁ କଥା କହିବା ସମୟରେ, ଦେଖ, ଜଣେ ଅଧ୍ୟକ୍ଷ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସି ପ୍ରଣାମ କରି କହିଲେ, ମୋହର ଝିଅଟି ଏହିକ୍ଷଣି ମରିଗଲା, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆପଣ ଆସି ତାହା ଉପରେ ହସ୍ତ ଥୋଇବା ହେଉନ୍ତୁ, ଆଉ ସେ ବଞ୍ଚିବ।
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
ସେଥିରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଉଠି ଆପଣା ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପଛରେ ଗଲେ।
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
ଆଉ ଦେଖ ବାର ବର୍ଷ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ପ୍ରଦର ରୋଗଗ୍ରସ୍ତା ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକ ପଛଆଡ଼ୁ ଆସି ତାହାଙ୍କ ଲୁଗାର ଝୁମ୍ପା ଛୁଇଁଲା,
କାରଣ ସେ ମନେ ମନେ କହୁଥିଲା, କେବଳ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଲୁଗା ଛୁଇଁଲେ ମୁଁ ସୁସ୍ଥ ହେବି।
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଯୀଶୁ ବୁଲିପଡ଼ି ତାହାକୁ ଦେଖି କହିଲେ, “ବତ୍ସେ, ସାହସ ଧର, ତୋହର ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ତୋତେ ସୁସ୍ଥ କରିଅଛି।” ସେହି ଦଣ୍ଡରୁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକଟି ସୁସ୍ଥ ହୋଇଗଲା।
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
ପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସେହି ଅଧ୍ୟକ୍ଷଙ୍କ ଗୃହକୁ ଆସି ବଂଶୀବାଦକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ କୋଳାହଳ କରୁଥିବା ଲୋକସମୂହକୁ ଦେଖି କହିଲେ, “ବାହାରିଯାଅ, ବାଳିକାଟି ତ ମରି ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଶୋଇ ପଡ଼ିଅଛି”
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
ସେଥିରେ ସେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପରିହାସ କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଲୋକସମୂହ ବାହାର କରାଯାଆନ୍ତେ, ଯୀଶୁ ଭିତରକୁ ଯାଇ ବାଳିକାଟିର ହାତ ଧରିଲେ, ଆଉ ସେ ଉଠିଲା।
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
ପୁଣି, ଏହି କଥା ସେହି ଦେଶଯାକ ବ୍ୟାପିଗଲା।
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
ଯୀଶୁ ସେଠାରୁ ଯାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ ଦୁଇ ଜଣ ଅନ୍ଧ ପଛେ ପଛେ ଚାଲି ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ୱର କରି କହିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ, ହେ ଦାଉଦଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତାନ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦୟା କରନ୍ତୁ।
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
ପୁଣି, ସେ ଗୃହରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରନ୍ତେ ସେହି ଅନ୍ଧମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆସିଲେ। ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ମୁଁ ଯେ ଏହା କରିପାରେ, ତାହା କି ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରୁଅଛ?” ସେମାନେ କହିଲେ ହଁ, ପ୍ରଭୁ।
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
ସେଥିରେ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଚକ୍ଷୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କରି କହିଲେ, “ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଅନୁସାରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଘଟୁ।”
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
ତହିଁରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଆଖି ଫିଟିଗଲା। ପୁଣି, ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅତି ଦୃଢ଼ରୂପେ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଇ କହିଲେ, “ଦେଖ, ଏ ବିଷୟ ଯେପରି କେହି ନ ଜାଣେ।”
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
ମାତ୍ର ସେମାନେ ବାହାରିଯାଇ ସେହି ଦେଶଯାକ ତାହାଙ୍କ କୀର୍ତ୍ତି ପ୍ରଚାର କଲେ।
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
ସେମାନେ ବାହାରିଯାଉଥିବା ସମୟରେ, ଦେଖ, ଲୋକେ ଜଣେ ମୂକ ଭୂତଗ୍ରସ୍ତକୁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆଣିଲେ।
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
ପୁଣି, ଭୂତ ଛଡ଼ାଯାଆନ୍ତେ ସେହି ମୂକ କଥା କହିଲା। ସେଥିରେ ଲୋକ ସମୂହ ଚମତ୍କୃତ ହୋଇ କହିଲେ, ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଏପରି କେବେ ହେଁ ଦେଖାଯାଇ ନାହିଁ।
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
କିନ୍ତୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ କହିଲେ, ସେ ଭୂତପତି ସାହାଯ୍ୟରେ ଭୂତ ଛଡ଼ାଉଅଛି।
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
ଏହାପରେ ଯୀଶୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମାଜଗୃହ-ସମୂହରେ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦେଇ ରାଜ୍ୟର ସୁସମାଚାର ଘୋଷଣା କରି ଏବଂ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରକାର ରୋଗ ଓ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରକାର ପୀଡ଼ା ସୁସ୍ଥ କରି ସମୁଦାୟ ନଗର ପୁଣି, ଗ୍ରାମଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ଭ୍ରମଣ କରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲେ।
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
ଆଉ ଲୋକସମୂହକୁ ଦେଖି ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ସେ ଦୟାରେ ବିଗଳିତ ହେଲେ, କାରଣ ସେମାନେ ଅରକ୍ଷକ ମେଷ ପରି ଦୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶାଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ଓ ଛିନ୍ନଭିନ୍ନ ଥିଲେ।
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
ସେତେବେଳେ ଯୀଶୁ ଆପଣା ଶିଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, “ଶସ୍ୟ ସିନା ପ୍ରଚୁର, ମାତ୍ର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକାରୀମାନେ ଅଳ୍ପ,
38 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 [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
ଏଣୁ ଆପଣା ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ରକୁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ପଠାଇଦେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ରର ମାଲିକଙ୍କ ପାଖରେ ନିବେଦନ କର।”
