Isaiah 3
1 ଦେଖ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ କହୁଅଛି। ପ୍ରଭୁ, ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଯିହୁଦା ଓ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ଯାହା ଉପ ରେ ନିର୍ଭର କରନ୍ତି ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ଜିନିଷ କାଢ଼ିନବେେ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମସ୍ତ ଅନ୍ନ ଓ ଜଳ ଦୂ ରଇେ ନବେେ।
2 ଆଉମଧ୍ଯ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ସମସ୍ତ ଯୋଦ୍ଧା ଓ ବୀର, ବିଚାରକର୍ତ୍ତା ଓ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ ବକ୍ତା, ମନ୍ତ୍ରଦ୍ରଷ୍ଟା ଓ ପ୍ରାଚୀନବର୍ଗଙ୍କୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ନବେେ।
3 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ପଞ୍ଚାଶତପତି ଓ ସମ୍ଭ୍ରାନ୍ତ ତଥା ମନ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଓ ନିପୁଣ ଶିଳ୍ପକର ଏବଂ ଜ୍ଞାନୀ ଓ ଭବିଷ୍ଯତ ମନ୍ତ୍ରଦ୍ରଷ୍ଟାମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ଯ ଦୂ ରଇେ ନବେେ।
4 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କୁହନ୍ତି, ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଉପ ରେ ଶାସନ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ୟୁବା ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୋବସ୍ତ କରିବି ଓ ଶିଶୁମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପରିଚାଳନା କରିବେ।
5 ଜଣେ ଅନ୍ୟ ଜଣଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଓ ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଅନ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତିବାସୀ ଦ୍ବାରା ଆପଣା ପ୍ରତିବାସୀ ଦୁଃଖ କରିବେ। ବଳିଷ୍ଠ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି, ବଯୋଜେଷ୍ଠ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିଙ୍କୁ ଯତ୍ନ ନବେେ ନାହିଁ। ସାଧାରଣ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ମହତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମାନ ଜଣାଇବେ ନାହିଁ।
6 ସେତବେେଳେ କହେିଜଣେ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ନିଜ ପରିବାର ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ଜଣଙ୍କୁ ଧରି କହିବେ, ହେ ଭାଇ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଅଛି, ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଶାସନକର୍ତ୍ତା ହବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏହି ନିପତିତ ରାଜ୍ଯର ଅଧିପତି ହବେ।'
7 ମାତ୍ର ସହେି ଭାଇଟି ଉଚ୍ଚସ୍ବର ରେ କହିବ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିପାରିବି ନାହିଁ। ମାରଗେୃହ ରେ ପ୍ରଚୁର ଖାଦ୍ୟ ଓ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ନାହିଁ। ମାେତେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶାସନକର୍ତ୍ତା କର ନାହିଁ।'
8 ଏପରି ଘଟିବାର କାରଣ ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ବିପଥଗାମୀ ହାଇେ ବିନଷ୍ଟ ହାଇେଛି। ଯିହୁଦା ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଅବଜ୍ଞାକରି ନିପତିତ ହାଇେଛି। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବାକ୍ଯ ଓ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧାଚରଣ କରୁଛି। ସମାନେେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ମହିମା ରେ ଉପହାସ କରୁଛନ୍ତି।
9 ସମାନଙ୍କେର ମୁଖମଣ୍ଡଳରୁ କୁକର୍ମ କରି ଦୋଷୀ ହବୋର ପରିଚଯ ମିଳେ। ଆଉମଧ୍ଯ ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପାପ ଲାଗି ଗର୍ବିତ। ସଦୋମର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପାପକୁ ଗୋପନ ରଖନ୍ତି। ଏହା ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ କୁଫଳ ହବେ କାରଣ ସମାନେେ ନିଜେ ନିଜର ଅନିଷ୍ଟ କରିବାକୁ ୟାଆନ୍ତି।
10 ଉତ୍ତମ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ କୁହ, ସମାନେେ ଉତ୍ତମଫଳ ଭୋଗ କରିବେ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସୁକର୍ମ ଯୋଗୁଁ ପୁରସ୍କୃତ ହବେେ।
11 ମାତ୍ର ଦୁରାଚାରୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏହା ଅତି ମନ୍ଦଫଳ ହବେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ବହୁକଷ୍ଟ ଆସିବ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର କୁକର୍ମ ଯୋଗୁଁ ଦଣ୍ଡିତ ହବେେ।
12 ବାଳକମାନେ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପରାଜିତ କରିବେ ଓ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନେ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଶାସନ କରିବେ। ହେ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପଥପ୍ରଦର୍ଶକ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିପଥଗାମୀ କରୁଛନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ନ୍ଯାଯପଥରୁ ଦୂ ରଇେ ନିଅନ୍ତି।
13 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ବିଚାର ପାଇଁ ଠିଆ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ଜାଗି ଉଠିବେ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ବିଚାର କରିବେ ?
14 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପ୍ରାଚୀନ ଓ ଅଧିପତିମାନେ କରିଥିବା କର୍ମ ପାଇଁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ବିଚାର ଦବେେ।
15 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କେଉଁ ଅଧିକାର ରେ ମାରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅତ୍ଯାଚାର କଲ ? କେଉଁ ଅଧିକାର ରେ ଦରିଦ୍ରମାନଙ୍କର ମୁଖକୁ ଘଷି ମଳିନ କଲ ?' ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହିସବୁ କହିଥିଲେ।
16 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପୁଣି କୁହନ୍ତି, ସିୟୋନର ନାରୀମାନେ ଅତି ଅହଙ୍କାରିଣୀ ହୁଅନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଶ୍ ରେଷ୍ଠା ବୋଲି ଦଖାଇେ ହାଇେ ମଥା ଉନ୍ନତ୍ତ କରି ବୁଲନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ କଟାକ୍ଷପାତ କରି ଚଞ୍ଚଳ ଗତି ରେ ଚାଲିଲା ବେଳେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପାଦର ନୂପୁର ରୁଣୁଝୁଣୁ ହୁଏ।'
17 ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ ସହେି ସିୟୋନ କନ୍ଯାମାନଙ୍କର ମସ୍ତକରେ ଘାଆ କରିବେ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ମସ୍ତକର କେଶ ରାଶିକୁ ଉତ୍ପାଟନ କରିବେ।
18 ସହେି ସମୟରେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକମାନେ ଗର୍ବ କରୁଥିବା ଜିନିଷଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେଠାରୁ କାଢ଼ିନବେେ। ସେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଦରୁ ନୂପୁର ଏବଂ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ବକରେୁ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରାହାର କାଢ଼ିନବେେ।'
19 ଆଉ ମଧ୍ଯ କର୍ଣ୍ଣକୁଣ୍ଡଳ, ଚୁଡ଼ି ଓ ଘୁମଟା କାଢ଼ିନବେେ।
20 ଶିରୋଭୂଷଣ ଓ ପାଦର ବଳା, କଟିବନ୍ଧନୀ, ଅତରଦାନୀ ଓ କବଚ

23 ଦର୍ପଣ ଓ ସୂକ୍ଷ୍ମବସ୍ତ୍ର ଓ ଶିରୋବନ୍ଧନୀ ଓ ଓଢ଼ଣି କାଢ଼ି ପକାଇବେ।
24 ସହେି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ସୁଗନ୍ଧ ଦ୍ରବ୍ଯ ବଦଳ ରେ ଦୁର୍ଗନ୍ଧ ଓ କ୍ଲଦେ ରେ, କଟିବସ୍ତ୍ର ରଜ୍ଜୁ ରେ ସୁନ୍ଦର ମଥା ବିନା କେଶ ରେ ଉତ୍ସବକାଳୀନ ପୋଷାକ ଲୋତକ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଏବଂ ଦୁଃଖ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସୌନ୍ଦର୍ୟ୍ଯ ମୁଖମଣ୍ଡଳ କ୍ଷତ ଚିହ୍ନ ଏବଂ ଅସୁନ୍ଦର ଦାଗ ବହନ କରିବ।
25 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପୁରୁଷଗଣ ଖଡ୍ଗ ଘାତ ରେ ଓ ୟୋଦ୍ଧାଗଣ ୟୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ନିହତ ହବେେ।
26 ସିୟୋନ ନଗର ରେ ଦ୍ବାରଦେଶ ଶାେକ ଓ ବିଳାପ ରେ ମୁଖରିତ ହବେ। ୟିରୁଶାଲମ ଚୋରଦ୍ବାରା ଲୁଣ୍ଠିତା ନାରୀ ସଦୃଶ ଶୂନ୍ଯ ହାଇେ ପଡ଼ି ରହିବ। ସେ ଭୂମି ଉପ ରେ ବସି କବଳେ ବିଳାପ କରିବ।
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.
16 Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
