ଯୋହନଲିଖିତ ସୁସମାଚାର 9
1 ଯୀଶୁ ଯାଉଥିବା ବେଳେ ଜଣେ ଅନ୍ଧକୁ ଦେଖିଲେ। ସେ ଲୋକଟି ଜନ୍ମରୁ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲା।
2 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ଗୁରୁ, ଏହି ଲୋକଟି ଜନ୍ମରୁ ଅନ୍ଧ କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ କାହାର ପାପ ହତେୁ ଅନ୍ଧ ହାଇେ ଜନ୍ମ ହେଲା? ଏହା ତା' ନିଜର ପାପ ନା ତା ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କର?
3 ଯୀଶୁ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଏହା ତାର ପାପ କି ତା' ବାପାମାଙ୍କର ପାପ ତାକୁ ଅନ୍ଧ କରି ନାହିଁ। ଏହି ଲୋକଟି ଅନ୍ଧ ହାଇେ ଜନ୍ମ ହାଇେଛି, ଯେପରି ଏହି ଲୋକକୁ ମୁଁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କଲା ବେଳେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଆଗ ରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତି ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶିତ ହାଇପୋରିବ।
4 ଦିନ ଥାଉଁ ଥାଉଁ ମାରେ ପ୍ ରରଣୋକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଅବିରତ କରିବା ଉଚିତ୍। ରାତି ଆସୁଅଛି। ରାତି ରେ କହେି କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ।
5 ମୁଁ ଜଗତ ରେ ଥିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଜଗତ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଆଲୋକ ଅଟେ ଓ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଆଲୋକ ଦେଉଥିବି।
6 ଯୀଶୁ ଏକଥା କହିଲା ପରେ ଭୂଇଁ ରେ ଛପେ ପକାଇ କାଦୁଅ କରି, ସହେି କାଦୁଅକୁ ନଇେ ସେ ସହେି ଜନ୍ମାନ୍ଧ ଲୋକଟିର ଆଖି ରେ ଲଗଇେ ଦେଲେ।
7 ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଯାଅ, ଶିଲୋହ ପୋଖରୀ ରେ ଧୋଇ ଦିଅ। (ଶିଲୋହ ପଦର ଅର୍ଥ 'ପ୍ ରରେିତ ା') ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଅନ୍ଧ ଲୋକଟି ପୋଖରୀ ରେ ଧୋଇ ହାଇେ ଆସିଲା। ସେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଦେଖିପାରୁଥିଲା।
8 କେତକେ ଲୋକ ଏହି ଲୋକଟିକୁ ପ୍ରଥମେ ଭିକ ମାଗିବା ଦେଖିଥିଲେ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଓ ଲୋକଟିର ପଡ଼ୋଶୀମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି କହିଲେ, ଦେଖ, ୟିଏ ସବୁବେଳେ ବସି ଭିକ ମାଗୁଥାଏ ଏ ଲୋକଟି ସହେି ନୁହେଁ କି?
9 କେତକେ କହିଲେ, ହଁ, ଏ ସହେି ଲୋକ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନେ କହିଲେ, ନାଁ, ଏ ସହେି ଲୋକ ନୁହେଁ। ଏ ଲୋକଟି ତା'ରି ଭଳି ଦଖାଯାେଉଛି।
10 ଲୋକମାନେ ତାକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, କ'ଣ ହେଲା? ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିପରି ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ଶକ୍ତି ପାଇଲ?
11 ସେ ଲୋକଟି ଉତ୍ତର ଦଲୋ ଲୋକମାନେ ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ ଯୀଶୁ ବୋଲି କହନ୍ତି, ସେ ଛପେ ଦ୍ବାରା ମାଟିକୁ କାଦୁଅ କରି ମାେ ଆଖି ରେ ବୋଳି ଦେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସେ ମାେତେ ଶିଲୋହ ପୋଖରୀ ରେ ଧୋଇ ହବୋ ପାଇଁ କହିଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ସହେି ପୋଖରୀ ରେ ଧୋଇ ହବୋ ପରେ ଦେଖିପାରିଲି।
12 ଲୋକମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ସେ ଲୋକ କେଉଁଠି ଅଛନ୍ତି? ଲୋକଟି କହିଲା, ମୁଁ ଜାଣେ ନାହିଁ।
13 ଏହା ପରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ସେ ଲୋକଟିକୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ନଇଗେଲେ। ଏହି ଲୋକଟି ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲା,
14 ଯୀଶୁ କାଦୁଅ କରିଥିଲେ ଓ ତା' ଆଖି ସୁସ୍ଥ କରିଥିଲେ। ସେ ଏ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାର ଦିନ କରିଥିଲେ।
15 ତେଣୁ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ସେ ଲୋକକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ. ତୁମ୍ଭେ କିପରି ଦୃଷ୍ଟିଶକ୍ତି ପାଇଲ?
16 କେତକେ ଫାରୂଶୀମାନେ କହିଲେ, ଏ ଲୋକ ବିଶ୍ରାମବାରର ନିୟମ ମାନୁ ନାହିଁ। ତେଣୁ ସେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଖରୁ ଆସି ନାହିଁ।
17 ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ସହେି ଲୋକକୁ ଆଉଥରେ ପଚାରିଲେ, ଏହି ଲୋକ (ଯୀଶୁ) ତୁମକୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କଲା ଓ ତୁମେ ଦେଖି ପାରିଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତା' ବିଷୟ ରେ କ'ଣ କହୁଛ?
18 ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ତଥାପି ତାହାର ସୁସ୍ଥ ହବୋ ବିଷୟ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲେ ନାହିଁ। ସେ ଲୋକର ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ ନ ଡାକିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନେେ ମାଟେେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କଲେ ନାହିଁ ଯେ, ସେ ଲୋକଟି ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲା ଓ ତାକୁ ସେ ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛି।
19 ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ତା'ର ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ଇଏ କ'ଣ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୁଅ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହୁଛ ଯେ, ସେ ଜନ୍ମଠାରୁ ଅନ୍ଧ, ତବେେ ସେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ କିପରି ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛି?
20 ପିତାମାତା ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ ଇଏ ଆମ ପୁଅ ଓ ସେ ଜନ୍ମରୁ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲା।
21 କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିନୁ, ସେ ଏବେ କିପରି ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛି? ତାକୁ କିଏ ତାର ଦୃଷ୍ଟିଶକ୍ତି ଦଲୋ। ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିନାହୁଁ। ତାକୁ ପଚାର। ନିଜ କଥା ନିଜେ କହିବା ପାଇଁ ତାର ବୟସ ହେଲାଣି।
22 ଯିହୂଦୀ ନେତାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୟ କରି ତା'ର ପିତାମାନା ଏପରି କହିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସେତବେେଳକେୁ ସ୍ଥିର କରି ସାରିଥିଲେ, କାରଣ ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ମଶୀହ ବଲେି ସ୍ବୀକାର କରିବେ, ସମାନେେ ତାକୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦବେେ ଓ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମାଜଗୃହରୁ ବାହାର କରି ଦବେେ।
23 ତେଣୁ ତାର ପିତାମାତା କହିଲେ, ତା'ର ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ବୟସ ହାଇେଛି। ତାକୁ ପଚାର।
24 ତେଣୁ ଯିହୂଦୀ ନେତାମାନେ ସହେି ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଅନ୍ଧଥିବା ଲୋକକୁ ଆଉଥରେ ଭିତରକୁ ଡାକିଲେ। ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସତ୍ଯ କହି ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଗୌରବ ଦବୋ ଉଚିତ। ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ, ଏହି ଲୋକ (ଯୀଶୁ) ଜଣେ ପାପୀ।
25 ଲୋକଟି ଉତ୍ତର ଦଲୋ, ସେ ପାପୀ କି ନୁହେଁ, ମୁଁ ଜାଣିନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ଅନ୍ଧ ଥିଲି ଓ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଦେଖିପାରୁଛି।
26 ଯିହୂଦୀ ନେତାମାନେ ପଚାରିଲେ, ସେ ତୁମକୁ କ'ଣ କଲା? ସେ ତୁମ ଆଖିକୁ କିପରି ଭଲ କରି ଦଲୋ?
27 ସେ ଲୋକ କହିଲା, ମୁଁ ସେ କଥା ତୁମକୁ ଆଗରୁ କହିସାରିଛି। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମେ ମାେ କଥା ଶୁଣୁନାହଁ। ତୁମେ ପୁଣି କାହିଁକି ଶୁଣିବା ପାଇଁ ଚାହୁଁଛ? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ଯ କ'ଣ ତାହାଙ୍କର ଶିଷ୍ଯ ହବୋ ପାଇଁ ଚାହୁଁଛ?
28 ୟିହୁଦୀନେତାମାନେ ଖୁବ୍ ରାଗିଯାଇ ତାକୁ ଗାଳି ଦେଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି ଲୋକର ଶିଷ୍ଯ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେ ମାଶାଙ୍କେର ଶିଷ୍ଯ।
29 ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣୁ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କଥା କହିଛନ୍ତି। କିଏ ଏ ଲୋକ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଛି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତାହା ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଜାଣିନାହୁଁ।
30 ଲୋକଟି ଉତ୍ତର ଦଲୋ, ଏହା ବଡ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ କଥା। ଯୀଶୁ କେଉଁଠାରୁ ଆସିଛନ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିନାହଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ମାେ ଆଖି ଭଲ କରି ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି।
31 ଆମ୍ଭେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ପାପୀଙ୍କ କଥା ଶୁଣନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଉପାସନା କରେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ କଥା ପାଳନ କରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତା'ର କଥା ଶୁଣନ୍ତି।
32 ଆଜି ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ କହେି କବେେ ଜଣେ ଜନ୍ମ ଅନ୍ଧର ଆଖି ଖାଲିେ ପାରି ନଥିଲେ।
33 ଏ ଲୋକ ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ରୂପରେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଖରୁ ଆସିଛି, ନ ହେଲେ ସେ ଏଭଳି କିଛି କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରି ପାରି ନଥାନ୍ତା।
34 ଯିହୂଦୀମାନେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପାପରୁ ଜନ୍ମ ହାଇେଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ଆମ୍ଭକୁ ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦବୋ ପାଇଁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରୁଛ? ଏହା କହି ସମାନେେ ତାକୁ ଜବରଦସ୍ତ ତଡି ଦେଲେ।
35 ଯୀଶୁ ଶୁଣିଲେ ଯେ, ଯିହୂଦୀନେତାମାନେ ସେ ଲୋକକୁ ଜବରଦସ୍ତ ତଡି ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି। ଯୀଶୁ ସେ ଲୋକକୁ ଖାଜେି ପାଇଲେ। ଏବଂ ସେ ତାହାକୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କର?
36 ସେ ଲୋକଟି ପଚାରିଲା, ଗୁରୁ, ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ପୁତ୍ର କିଏ? ମାେତେ କୁହନ୍ତୁ ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ତାହାଙ୍କଠା ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରି ପା ରେ।
37 ଯୀଶୁ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ସାରିଛ। ତୁମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ୟିଏ କଥା ହେଉଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ସହେି ମନୁଷ୍ଯପୁତ୍ର।
38 ସେ ଲୋକଟି ଉତ୍ତର ଦଲୋ, ହଁ, ପ୍ରଭୁ ମୁଁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରେ। ସେ ମୁଣ୍ଡ ନୁଆଁଇ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଣାମ କଲା।
39 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ମୁଁ ଜଗତକୁ ଆସିଛି, ଯେପରି ଏ ଜଗତ ବିଚାରିତ ହବେ। ମୁଁ ଆସଛି ଯେପରି ଅନ୍ଧ ଲୋକମାନେ ଦେଖି ପାରିବେ। ଏବଂ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି ମନେ ମନେ ଭାବୁଛନ୍ତି, ସମାନେେ ଅନ୍ଧ ହବେେ।
40 ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ପାଖ ରେ କେତକେ ଫାରୂଶୀ ଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କର ଏପରି କହିବା ଶୁଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ପଚାରିଲେ, କ'ଣ? ତା ମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହୁଛ ଯେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ଯ ଅନ୍ଧ?
41 ଯୀଶୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯଦି ପ୍ରକୃତ ରେ ଅନ୍ଧ ହାଇେଥାନ୍ତ, ତବେେ ଦୋଷୀ ବିବଚେିତ ହୁଅନ୍ତ ନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କହୁଛ ଯେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଦେଖି ପାରୁଛ, ତେଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଦୋଷୀ।
1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
1 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The Lord repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
