লূকঃ 19
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a commissioner of taxes and a rich man.
He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree, to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
5 ৫ পশ্চাদ্ যীশুস্তৎস্থানম্ ইৎৱা ঊর্দ্ধ্ৱং ৱিলোক্য তং দৃষ্ট্ৱাৱাদীৎ, হে সক্কেয ৎৱং শীঘ্রমৱরোহ মযাদ্য ৎৱদ্গেহে ৱস্তৱ্যং|
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him: “Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house to-day.”
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
On seeing this, every one began to complain: “He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.”
8 ৮ কিন্তু সক্কেযো দণ্ডাযমানো ৱক্তুমারেভে, হে প্রভো পশ্য মম যা সম্পত্তিরস্তি তদর্দ্ধং দরিদ্রেভ্যো দদে, অপরম্ অন্যাযং কৃৎৱা কস্মাদপি যদি কদাপি কিঞ্চিৎ মযা গৃহীতং তর্হি তচ্চতুর্গুণং দদামি|
But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master: “Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded any one of anything, I will give him back four times as much.”
“Salvation has come to this house to-day,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.
The Son of Man has come to ‘search for those who are lost’ and to save them.”

As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the Kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
He said: “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a Kingdom and then return.
13 ১৩ যাত্রাকালে নিজান্ দশদাসান্ আহূয দশস্ৱর্ণমুদ্রা দত্ত্ৱা মমাগমনপর্য্যন্তং ৱাণিজ্যং কুরুতেত্যাদিদেশ|
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
14 ১৪ কিন্তু তস্য প্রজাস্তমৱজ্ঞায মনুষ্যমেনম্ অস্মাকমুপরি রাজৎৱং ন কারযিৱ্যাম ইমাং ৱার্ত্তাং তন্নিকটে প্রেরযামাসুঃ|
But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our King.’
15 ১৫ অথ স রাজৎৱপদং প্রাপ্যাগতৱান্ একৈকো জনো বাণিজ্যেন কিং লব্ধৱান্ ইতি জ্ঞাতুং যেষু দাসেষু মুদ্রা অর্পযৎ তান্ আহূযানেতুম্ আদিদেশ|
On his return, after having been appointed King, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’
‘Well done, good servant!’ exclaimed the master. ‘As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.’
When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’
So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’
Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.’
22 ২২ তদা স জগাদ, রে দুষ্টদাস তৱ ৱাক্যেন ৎৱাং দোষিণং করিষ্যামি, যদহং নাস্থাপযং তদেৱ গৃহ্লামি, যদহং নাৱপঞ্চ তদেৱ ছিনদ্মি, এতাদৃশঃ কৃপণোহমিতি যদি ৎৱং জানাসি,
The master answered ‘Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
23 ২৩ তর্হি মম মুদ্রা বণিজাং নিকটে কুতো নাস্থাপযঃ? তযা কৃতেঽহম্ আগত্য কুসীদেন সার্দ্ধং নিজমুদ্রা অপ্রাপ্স্যম্|
Then why did not you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
Take away from him the ten pounds,’ he said to those standing by, ‘and give them to the one who has the hundred.’
‘But, Sir,’ they interposed, ‘he has a hundred pounds already!’
26 ২৬ যুষ্মানহং ৱদামি যস্যাশ্রযে ৱদ্ধতে ঽধিকং তস্মৈ দাযিষ্যতে, কিন্তু যস্যাশ্রযে ন ৱর্দ্ধতে তস্য যদ্যদস্তি তদপি তস্মান্ নাযিষ্যতে|
‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their King, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.’”
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
30 ৩০ যুৱামমুং সম্মুখস্থগ্রামং প্রৱিশ্যৈৱ যং কোপি মানুষঃ কদাপি নারোহৎ তং গর্দ্দভশাৱকং বদ্ধং দ্রক্ষ্যথস্তং মোচযিৎৱানযতং|
“Go to the village facing us,” he said, “and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
And, if anybody asks you ‘Why are you untying it?,’ you are to say this — ‘The Master wants it.’”
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them — “Why are you untying the foal?”
And the two disciples answered — “The Master wants it.”
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus upon it.
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, every one of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
38 ৩৮ যো রাজা প্রভো র্নাম্নাযাতি স ধন্যঃ স্ৱর্গে কুশলং সর্ৱ্ৱোচ্চে জযধ্ৱনি র্ভৱতু, কথামেতাং কথযিৎৱা সানন্দম্ উচৈরীশ্ৱরং ধন্যং ৱক্তুমারেভে|
“Blessed is He who comes — Our King — in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, And glory on high.”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, reprove your disciples.”
But Jesus answered: “I tell you that if these men are silent, the very stones will call out.”
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said:
42 ৪২ হা হা চেৎ ৎৱমগ্রেঽজ্ঞাস্যথাঃ, তৱাস্মিন্নেৱ দিনে ৱা যদি স্ৱমঙ্গলম্ উপালপ্স্যথাঃ, তর্হ্যুত্তমম্ অভৱিষ্যৎ, কিন্তু ক্ষণেস্মিন্ তত্তৱ দৃষ্টেরগোচরম্ ভৱতি|
“Would that you had known, while yet there was time — even you — the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
43 ৪৩ ৎৱং স্ৱত্রাণকালে ন মনো ন্যধত্থা ইতি হেতো র্যৎকালে তৱ রিপৱস্ত্ৱাং চতুর্দিক্ষু প্রাচীরেণ ৱেষ্টযিৎৱা রোৎস্যন্তি
For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
44 ৪৪ বালকৈঃ সার্দ্ধং ভূমিসাৎ করিষ্যন্তি চ ৎৱন্মধ্যে পাষাণৈকোপি পাষাণোপরি ন স্থাস্যতি চ, কাল ঈদৃশ উপস্থাস্যতি|
they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know ‘the time of your visitation.’”
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
saying as he did so: “Scripture says — ‘My House shall be a House of Prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47 ৪৭ পশ্চাৎ স প্রত্যহং মধ্যেমন্দিরম্ উপদিদেশ; ততঃ প্রধানযাজকা অধ্যাপকাঃ প্রাচীনাশ্চ তং নাশযিতুং চিচেষ্টিরে;
Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the Chief Priests and Teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leading men.
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung upon his words.
