Psalm 49
1 ହେ ଜାତିଗଣ ସମୂହ ଶୁଣ, ହେ ପୃଥିବୀବାସୀ ଲୋକମାନେ ଶୁଣ,
2 ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ମଣିଷ ଧନୀ ଦରିଦ୍ର ନିର୍ବିଶଷେରେ ସମସ୍ତେ ଶୁଣ,
3 ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଅତି ଜ୍ଞାନଗର୍ଭକ ଓ ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନର କଥା କହିବି।
4 ମୁଁ ସେ ସବୁ ୟେ ଶୁଣି ଅଛି ଓ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମୁଁ ସେ ସବୁକୁ ମାରେ ବୀଣାବାଦନ ସହିତ ଗାଯନ କରିବି ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟରେ ସହେି ଗୁଢ଼ ବିଷଯସବୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବି।
5 ୟଦି ବିପଦ ପଡ଼େ ମୁଁ କାହିଁକି ଭୟଭୀତ ହବେି। ୟଦି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନେ ମାରେ ଚାରିକଡ଼ରେ ଘରେିୟାଇ ମାେତେ ୟନ୍ତାରେ ପକାଇବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରନ୍ତି, ସଠାେରେ ମଧ୍ଯ ମାରେ ଭୟ କରିବାର କୌଣସି କାରଣ ନାହିଁ।
6 ଅନକେ ଲୋକ ଭାବନ୍ତି ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଧନ ଓ ବଳ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବ କିନ୍ତୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ମୂର୍ଖ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
7 କହେି ମନୁଷ୍ଯ ବନ୍ଧୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବଞ୍ଚାଇପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ କି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ଲାଞ୍ଚ ଦଇପୋରିବ ନାହିଁ।
8 ଏମିତି କୌଣସି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ନାହିଁ ୟିଏ ଅଧିକ ଧନ ଦଇେ ତା'ର ଜୀବନକୁ ପ୍ରାଯାଶ୍ଚିତ କରିପାରିବ।
9 କୌଣସି ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିର ନିକଟରେ ଏବେ ଧନ ନାହିଁ ୟେ ସେ ଚିରଦିନ ବଞ୍ଚିବା ପାଇଁ ସବୁ ଜିନିଷ ଧନରେ କିଣି ପାରିବ ଓ ତା'ର ଶରୀରକୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିପାରିବ, ୟାହାକି କବର ମଧ୍ୟରେ ନଷ୍ଟ ହାଇେଥିବ।
10 ଦେଖ !ବୁଦ୍ଧିମାନ୍ ଲୋକମାନେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରନ୍ତି, ୟମେିତିକି ମୂର୍ଖ ଓ ନିର୍ ବୋଧ ଲୋକମାନେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରନ୍ତି ଓ ନିଜର ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ଅନ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ ଛାଡ଼ି ୟାଆନ୍ତି।
11 ସମାନଙ୍କେ କବର ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ଚିରଦିନ ନୂତନ ବାସସ୍ଥଳୀ ଅଟେ ଏବଂ ୟତେେ ଭୂମି ସମାନେେ ଅଧିକାର କରିଥିଲେ ହେଁ, ଏହା ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପାଇଁ ମୂଲ୍ଯହୀନ ଅଟେ।
12 ଲୋକମାନେ ବିତ୍ତଶାଳୀ ହାଇେ ପାରନ୍ତି। କିନ୍ତୁ ସମାନେେ ଏଠାରେ ଚିରଦିନ ରହିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସମାନେେ ପଶୁ ତୁଲ୍ଯ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରିବେ।
13 ସହେି ମୂର୍ଖ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଭାଗ୍ଯରେ ଏହିପରି ଘଟେ। ଯେଉଁମାନେ ନିଜର ସମ୍ପତ୍ତିକୁ ଅଧିକ ଭଲ ପାଆନ୍ତି।
14 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ମଷେମାନଙ୍କ ପରି ଅଟନ୍ତି। ସମାନେେ ଶଷେରେ ସହେି କବରରେ ପତିତ ହବେେ ଓ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ମଷେପାଳକ ହବେ। ତା'ପରେ ସହେି ସକାଳେ ଉତ୍ତମ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିଗଣ ବିଜଯୀ ହବେେ। ସହେି ଦୁଷ୍ଟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଶରୀର କବର ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଧୀରେ ଧୀରେ ନଷ୍ଟ ହବୋକୁ ଲାଗିବ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ନିଜ ସୁଶୋଭିତ ଗୃହଠାରୁ ବହୁତ ଦୂରରେ ହବେ।
15 କିନ୍ତୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ମାେତେ ସେଥିରୁ ମୁକ୍ତ କରିବେ ଓ ମାରେ ଜୀବନ ବଞ୍ଚାଇବେ। ସେ ମାେତେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର କରିବେ, ସହେି ମୃତ୍ଯୁର କବର ମଧ୍ଯରୁ ସେତବେେଳେ ସେ ମାେତେ ତାଙ୍କର ସଙ୍ଗରେ ନଇେଯିବେ।
16 କବଳେ ସମାନେେ ଧନୀ ବୋଲି ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଭୟ କର ନାହିଁ ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କର ସୁଶୋଭିତ ଗୃହ ରହିଛି।
17 ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରିବେ ସମାନେେ ସାଙ୍ଗରେ କିଛି ନଇେଯିବେ ନାହିଁ। ତାଙ୍କର ଐଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯ ତାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗରେ ୟିବ ନାହିଁ।
18 ଜଣେ ଧନୀ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ନିଜ ଜୀବନରେ ୟାହା ସବୁ କରିଛି ସେଥିପାଇଁ ନିଜକୁ କବଳେ ଧନ୍ଯବାଦ ଦିଏ। ହଁ, ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ତା'କୁ ପ୍ରଶଂସା କରି କହନ୍ତି, ସେ ତା'ର ଜୀବନରେ କିପରି ଉତ୍ତମ ସଫଳତା ହାସଲ କରିଛି।
19 ଶଷେରେ କିନ୍ତୁ ସମୟ ଆସିବ ତାକୁ ମରିବାକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ ଓ ତାକୁ ତା'ର ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ୟିବାକୁ ପଡ଼ିବ ଓ ସେ କବେେ ଆଉ ଦିନର ଆ ଲୋକ ଦେଖିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ।
20 ଲୋକମାନେ ବିତ୍ତଶାଳୀ ହାଇପୋରନ୍ତି, ତଥାପି ସମାନେେ ବୁଝିପାରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ ୟେ ସମାନେେ ମଧ୍ଯ ପଶୁଭଳି ମୃତ୍ଯୁବରଣ କରିବେ।
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.
2 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
3 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
4 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
5 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
6 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
7 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
8 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
9 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
10 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
11 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
12 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
13 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
14 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
15 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
16 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
17 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
18 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
19 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
20 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
21 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
