Micah 3
1 મેં કહ્યું, “હે યાકૂબના નેતાઓ, અને ઇસ્રાએલ દેશના શાસકો, હવે આ શું તમારા માટે ન્યાયને જાણવાની જગ્યા નથી?
2 પણ તમે ન્યાયને ધિક્કારો છો, ને અન્યાય પર પ્રેમ રાખો છો! તમે મારા લોકોના શરીર પરથી ચામડી અને તેના હાડકાં ઉપરથી માંસ ઊતારી લો છો.
3 તમે મારા લોકોનું માંસ ખાઓ છો, તેમના શરીર ઉપરથી ચામડી ઉઝરડી નાખો છો, તેમના હાડકાં ભાંગીને ચૂરાં કરી નાંખો છો અને તેને માંસની જેમ રાંધવા માટે તમે તેને કઢાઇમાં પાથરી દો છો.
4 અને પછી સંકટના સમયે મદદ માટે તમે યહોવાને વિનંતી કરો છો! પરંતુ તે તમને જવાબ નહિ આપે. તમે અનિષ્ટ કામો કર્યા છે, તેથી તે તમારાથી મોઢું ફેરવી લેશે.’
5 હે જૂઠા પ્રબોધકો, તમે યહોવાના લોકોને ખોટા માગેર્ લઇ જાઓ છો.તમને ખોરાક આપે તેઓને તમે શાંતિ થાઓ એમ કહો છો અને જેઓ નથી આપતા તેઓને તમે ધમકાવો છો. તમારા માટે દેવનો આ સંદેશો છે.
6 તમારા ઉપર રાત્રીના ઓળાં ઊતરશે; તમને કોઇ સંદર્શન નહિ થાય, તમારા ઉપર અંધારા ઊતરશે, તમે કોઇ ભવિષ્ય ભાખી શકશો નહિ, તમારો સૂર્ય આથમી જશે અને તમારો દિવસ અંધારમય થઇ જશે.
7 દ્રષ્ટાઓ લજ્જિત થશે, અને ભવિષ્યવેત્તાઓ ગૂંચવાઇ જશે, તેઓ બધા પોતાના હોઠ ઢાંકી દેશે; કારણકે દેવ તરફથી કઇં પણ ઉત્તર મળતો નથી.
8 “પરંતુ જ્યારે મારા માટે, યાકૂબને તેના અપરાધ વિષે અને ઇસ્રાએલને તેના પાપો વિષે જણાવવા માટે યહોવાના આત્માએ મને સાર્મથ્ય, ન્યાય અને શકિતથી ભરી દીધો છે.”
9 હે યાકૂબના વંશના નેતાઓ અને ઇસ્રાએલના કૂળના શાસકો, જેઓ ન્યાયને ધિક્કારો છો, અને સર્વ નીતિમત્તાને ઉલટાવો છો, હવે ધ્યાનથી સાંભળો.
10 તમે સિયોનને હિંસાથી અને યરૂશાલેમને અન્યાય દ્વારા બાંધ્યા છે.
11 તેના આગેવાન નેતાઓ લાંચ લઇને ન્યાય કરે છે. ને તેના યાજકો પગાર લઇને બોધ કરે છે અને તેના પ્રબોધકો પૈસા લઇને ભવિષ્ય ભાખે છે. એમ છતાં પણ તેઓ યહોવા પર આધાર રાખે છે, અને કહે છે, “શું યહોવા આપણી પાસે નથી? આપણા પર કોઇ આફત આવશે નહિ.”
12 આથી, તમારે કારણે સિયોનને ખેતરની જેમ ખેડી નાખવામાં આવશે, અને યરૂશાલેમ કાટમાળનો ઢગલો થઇ જશે; અને ટેકરી ઉપરનું મંદિર ઝાડી ઝાંખરાથી ઢંકાઇ જશે.
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4 Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Isaiah 2 in Tamil and English
1 ಆಮೋಚನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯೆಶಾಯನಿಗೆ ಯೆಹೂದದ ಮತ್ತು ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿ ಕಂಡು ಬಂದ ದೈವೋಕ್ತಿ:
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 ಆ ಅಂತ್ಯ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆಗುವದೇನಂದರೆ--ಕರ್ತನ ಆಲಯದ ಪರ್ವತವು ಗುಡ್ಡಗಳಿಗಿಂತ ಎತ್ತರ ವಾಗಿ ಪರ್ವತಗಳ ತುದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆಯಾಗಿರುವದು. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜನಾಂಗಗಳು ಅದರ ಕಡೆಗೆ ತಂಡ ತಂಡವಾಗಿ ಬರುವವು.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 ಅನೇಕ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳು ಹೋಗಿ--ಬನ್ನಿರಿ, ಕರ್ತನ ಪರ್ವತಕ್ಕೂ ಯಾಕೋಬನ ದೇವರ ಆಲಯ ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೋಗೋಣ; ಆತನು ತನ್ನ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು ನಮಗೆ ಬೋಧಿಸುವನು; ನಾವು ಆತನ ದಾರಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುವೆವು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವರು; ಚೀಯೋನಿನಿಂದ ನ್ಯಾಯಪ್ರಮಾಣವೂ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿನಿಂದ ಕರ್ತನ ವಾಕ್ಯವೂ ಹೊರಡುವದು.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 ಆತನು ಅನೇಕ ಜನಾಂಗ ಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನ್ಯಾಯ ತೀರಿಸಿ, ಅನೇಕ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳನ್ನು ಗದರಿಸುವನು; ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಕತ್ತಿಗಳನ್ನು ನೇಗಿಲಿನ ಗುಳಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿಯೂ ತಮ್ಮ ಈಟಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕುಡುಗೋ ಲುಗಳನ್ನಾಗಿಯೂ ಬಡಿಯುವರು; ಜನಾಂಗಕ್ಕೆ ವಿರೋ ಧವಾಗಿ ಜನಾಂಗವು ಕತ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಎತ್ತದು; ಇಲ್ಲವೆ ಇನ್ನು ಮೇಲೆ ಯುದ್ಧಾಭ್ಯಾಸವು ಇರುವದೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 ಓ ಯಾಕೋಬಿನ ಮನೆತನದವರೇ, ಬನ್ನಿರಿ, ಕರ್ತನ ಬೆಳಕಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯೋಣ.
O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 ಆದದರಿಂದ ಯಾಕೋಬಿನ ಮನೆತನದವರು ಮೂಡಣ ದೇಶ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಗ್ನರಾಗಿ ಫಿಲಿಷ್ಟಿಯರಂತೆ ಕಣಿ ಹೇಳುವವ ರಾಗಿಯೂ ಅನ್ಯ ದೇಶಗಳವರ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿಕೆ ಯುಳ್ಳವರಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರುವದರಿಂದ ಈ ನಿನ್ನ ಜನರನ್ನು ತಳ್ಳಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೀ.
Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 ಅವರ ದೇಶವು ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಬಂಗಾರಗ ಳಿಂದಲೂ ತುಂಬಿದೆ, ಅವರ ಬೊಕ್ಕಸಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಿತಿ ಯಿಲ್ಲ; ಅವರ ದೇಶವು ಕುದುರೆಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ತುಂಬಿದೆ, ಅವರ ರಥಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಿತಿಯೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.
Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 ಅವರ ದೇಶವು ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ತುಂಬಿದೆ; ತಮ್ಮ ಬೆರಳುಗಳಿಂದ ಮಾಡಿದ ತಮ್ಮ ಕೈಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೇ ಆರಾಧಿಸುವರು.
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 ನೀಚನು ಹಿಗ್ಗಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಉತ್ತಮನು ತಗ್ಗಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳು ತ್ತಾನೆ; ಆದಕಾರಣ ಅವರನ್ನು ಮನ್ನಿಸಬೇಡ.
And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 ಕರ್ತನ ಭಯಕ್ಕೂ ಆತನ ಮಹಿಮೆಯ ಘನತೆಗೂ ಬಂಡೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಕೋ, ದೂಳಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನೀನು ಅಡಗಿಕೋ.
Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 ಮನು ಷ್ಯನ ಅಹಂಭಾವದ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯು ಕುಗ್ಗುವದು, ಮನು ಷ್ಯರ ಗರ್ವವು ತಗ್ಗುವದು, ಆಗ ಕರ್ತನೊಬ್ಬನೇ ಆ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಉನ್ನತನಾಗಿರುವನು.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 ಸೈನ್ಯಗಳ ಕರ್ತನ ದಿನವು ಗರ್ವ ಮತ್ತು ಅಹಂಭಾವದಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿರು ವವರ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬನ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಬರುವದು; ಆತನು ಅವರನ್ನು ತಗ್ಗಿಸುವನು.
For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 ಎತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆದಿರುವ ಲೆಬನೋನಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ದೇವದಾರು ವೃಕ್ಷಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ಬಾಷಾನಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಏಲಾಮರಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ
And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಎತ್ತರವಾದ ಪರ್ವತಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ಎತ್ತರವಾಗಿ ರುವ ಗುಡ್ಡಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ
And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಎತ್ತರವಾದ ಗೋಪುರಗಳ ಭದ್ರವಾದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಗೋಡೆಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಯೂ
And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 ಎಲ್ಲಾ ತಾರ್ಷೀಷ್ ಹಡಗುಗಳು, ಅಂತೂ ನೋಡತಕ್ಕ ಮನೋಹರವಾದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಆ ದಿನವು ಬರುವದು.
And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಅಹಂಭಾವವು ಕುಗ್ಗುವದು, ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಗರ್ವವು ತಗ್ಗಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವದು; ಆ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ತನೊಬ್ಬನೇ ಉನ್ನತ ನಾಗಿರುವನು.
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 ಆತನು ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ವಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ಲದಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿಬಿಡುವನು.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 ಕರ್ತನು ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಭಯಂಕರವಾಗಿ ನಡುಗಿಸಲು ಏಳು ವಾಗ ಕರ್ತನಿಗೂ ಆತನ ಮಹಿಮೆಗೂ ಆತನ ಘನಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆದರಿ ಬಂಡೆಗಳ ಸಂದುಗಳಿಗೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಗವಿಗ ಳಿಗೂ ಅವರು ಸೇರಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವರು.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 ಆ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯನು ಅಡ್ಡಬೀಳುವದಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ತಾವು ಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಂಡ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯ ವಿಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನೂ ಚಿನ್ನದ ವಿಗ್ರಹ ಗಳನ್ನೂ ಇಲಿ ಬಾವಲಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಬಿಸಾಡಿಬಿಡುವನು.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 ಕರ್ತನು ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಭಯಂಕರವಾಗಿ ನಡುಗಿ ಸಲು ಏಳುವಾಗ ಕರ್ತನ ಭಯಕ್ಕೂ ಆತನ ಮಹಿ ಮೆಯ ಘನಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆದರಿ ಬಂಡೆಗಳ ಸಂದುಗಳಿಗೂ ಎತ್ತರವಾಗಿರುವ ಬಂಡೆಗಳ ಕಡಿದಾದ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳಿಗೂ ಹೋಗುವರು.
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 ಉಸಿರು ಮೂಗಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇರುವ ವರೆಗೆ ಬದುಕುವ ನರಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡಿರಿ; ಅವನು ಎಷ್ಟರವ ನೆಂದು ಎಣಿಸಬಹುದು?
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
