Genesis 1
1 ಆದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರು ಆಕಾಶವನ್ನೂ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನೂ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದನು.
2 ಭೂಮಿ ಯು ನಿರಾಕಾರವಾಗಿಯೂ ಶೂನ್ಯವಾಗಿಯೂ ಇತ್ತು; ಅಗಾಧದ ಮೇಲೆ ಕತ್ತಲೆ ಇತ್ತು. ದೇವರ ಆತ್ಮನು ನೀರುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ಚಲಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು.
3 ಆಗ ದೇವರು--ಬೆಳಕಾಗಲಿ ಅನ್ನಲು ಬೆಳಕಾ ಯಿತು.
4 ದೇವರು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನೋಡಿದನು; ದೇವರು ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕತ್ತಲೆಯಿಂದ ಬೇರೆ ಮಾಡಿದನು.
5 ದೇವರು ಬೆಳಕಿಗೆ ಹಗ ಲೆಂದೂ ಕತ್ತಲೆಗೆ ರಾತ್ರಿಯೆಂದೂ ಕರೆದನು. ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಯಂಕಾಲವೂ ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲವೂ ಆಗಿ ಮೊದಲನೆಯ ದಿನವಾಯಿತು.
6 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ದೇವರು--ನೀರುಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ವಿಶಾಲ ವಿರಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅದು ನೀರುಗಳಿಂದ ನೀರುಗಳನ್ನು ಬೇರೆ ಮಾಡಲಿ ಅಂದನು.
7 ದೇವರು ವಿಶಾಲವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿ ವಿಶಾಲದ ಕೆಳಗಿದ್ದ ನೀರುಗಳನ್ನು ವಿಶಾಲದ ಮೇಲಿದ್ದ ನೀರುಗಳಿಂದ ಬೇರೆ ಮಾಡಿದನು. ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಯಿತು.
8 ದೇವರು ವಿಶಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ಆಕಾಶ ವೆಂದು ಕರೆದನು. ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಯಂಕಾಲವೂ ಪ್ರಾತಃ ಕಾಲವೂ ಆಗಿ ಎರಡನೆಯ ದಿನವಾಯಿತು.
9 ಆಗ ದೇವರು--ಆಕಾಶದ ಕೆಳಗಿರುವ ನೀರುಗಳು ಒಂದು ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಒಣನೆಲವು ಕಾಣಿಸಲಿ ಅಂದನು. ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಯಿತು.
10 ದೇವರು ಒಣನೆಲಕ್ಕೆ ಭೂಮಿಯೆಂದೂ ಒಟ್ಟು ಗೂಡಿದ ನೀರುಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಮುದ್ರಗಳೆಂದೂ ಕರೆದನು. ದೇವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನೋಡಿದನು.
11 ತರುವಾಯ ದೇವರು--ಭೂಮಿಯು ಹುಲ್ಲನ್ನೂ ಬೀಜಕೊಡುವ ಪಲ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಬೀಜವಿದ್ದು ತನ್ನ ಜಾತಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಫಲಫಲಿಸುವ ಹಣ್ಣಿನ ಮರವನ್ನೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮೊಳೆಯಿಸಲಿ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು; ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಯಿತು.
12 ಭೂಮಿಯು ಹುಲ್ಲನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಜಾತಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಬೀಜಕೊಡುವ ಪಲ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಜಾತಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ತನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಬೀಜವಿರುವ ಹಣ್ಣಿನ ಮರವನ್ನೂ ಮೊಳೆ ಯಿಸಿತು. ದೇವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನೋಡಿ ದನು.
13 ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಯಂಕಾಲವೂ ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲವೂ ಆಗಿ ಮೂರನೆಯ ದಿನವಾಯಿತು.
14 ದೇವರು--ಹಗಲನ್ನು ರಾತ್ರಿಯಿಂದ ಬೇರೆ ಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಆಕಾಶದ ವಿಶಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳಕುಗಳಿರಲಿ; ಅವು ಹಗಲಿರುಳುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಸಮಯ ದಿನ ಸಂವತ್ಸರ ಗಳನ್ನೂ ತೋರಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರುತುಗಳಾಗಿರಲಿ;
15 ಅವು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೆಳಕುಕೊಡುವಂತೆ ಆಕಾಶದ ವಿಶಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳಕುಗಳಾಗಿರಲಿ ಅಂದನು. ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಯಿತು.
16 ದೇವರು ಎರಡು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬೆಳಕುಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದನು; ದೊಡ್ಡ ಬೆಳಕು ಹಗಲನ್ನಾಳುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಚಿಕ್ಕ ಬೆಳಕು ರಾತ್ರಿಯನ್ನಾಳು ವದಕ್ಕೂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಲ್ಲದೆ ನಕ್ಷತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಸಹ ಮಾಡಿ ದನು.
17 ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಬೆಳಕುಕೊಡುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ದೇವರು ಆಕಾಶದ ವಿಶಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಇರಿಸಿದನು.
18 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಅವು ಹಗಲನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ರಾತ್ರಿಯನ್ನು ಆಳುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಬೆಳಕನ್ನು ಕತ್ತಲೆಯಿಂದ ಬೇರೆ ಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಇರಿಸಿದನು. ದೇವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನೋಡಿದನು.
19 ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಯಂಕಾಲವೂ ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲವೂ ಆಗಿ ನಾಲ್ಕನೆಯ ದಿನವಾಯಿತು.
20 ದೇವರು--ಚಲಿಸುವ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳನ್ನು ನೀರು ಗಳು ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಬರಮಾಡಲಿ; ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಆಕಾಶದ ವಿಶಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳು ಹಾರಾಡಲಿ ಅಂದನು.
21 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ತಮ್ಮ ಜಾತಿಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ನೀರುಗಳು ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಬರಮಾಡಿದ ದೊಡ್ಡ ತಿಮಿಂಗಿಲಗಳನ್ನೂ ಚಲಿಸುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಜೀವ ಜಂತುಗಳನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಜಾತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾದ ರೆಕ್ಕೆಗಳಿದ್ದ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಪಕ್ಷಿಯನ್ನೂ ದೇವರು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದನು. ದೇವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನೋಡಿದನು.
22 ಆಗ ದೇವರು ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಿ-- ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿ ಸಮುದ್ರಗಳ ನೀರುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತುಂಬಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳು ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಲಿ ಅಂದನು.
23 ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಯಂಕಾಲವೂ ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲವೂ ಆಗಿ ಐದನೆಯ ದಿನವಾಯಿತು.
24 ದೇವರು--ಆಯಾ ಜಾತಿಯ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಪಶುಗಳನ್ನೂ ಹರಿದಾಡುವ ಕ್ರಿಮಿಗಳನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಜಾತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾದ ಭೂಮೃಗಗಳನ್ನೂ ಭೂಮಿಯು ಬರಮಾಡಲಿ ಅಂದನು; ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಯಿತು.
25 ದೇವರು ಅದರ ಜಾತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಭೂಮೃಗಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅವುಗಳ ಜಾತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಪಶುಗಳನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನ ಜಾತಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಹರಿದಾಡುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಿದನು. ದೇವರು ಅದನ್ನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೆಂದು ನೋಡಿದನು.
26 ತರುವಾಯ ದೇವರು--ನಮ್ಮ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಹೋಲಿಕೆಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ಮಾಡೋಣ; ಅವರು ಸಮುದ್ರದ ವಿಾನುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಆಕಾಶದ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಪಶುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಹರಿದಾಡುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಕ್ರಿಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ದೊರೆತನಮಾಡಲಿ ಅಂದನು.
27 ಹೀಗೆ ದೇವರು ಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದನು, ದೇವರರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಆತನು ಅವನನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದನು. ಆತನು ಅವರನ್ನು ಗಂಡು ಹೆಣ್ಣಾಗಿ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದನು.
28 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ದೇವರು ಅವರನ್ನು ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಿದನು. ದೇವರು--ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ತುಂಬಿಕೊಂಡು ಅದನ್ನು ವಶಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ; ಸಮುದ್ರದ ವಿಾನುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಆಕಾಶದ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಚಲಿಸುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಜೀವಿಯ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ದೊರೆತನಮಾಡಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದನು.
29 ದೇವರು--ಇಗೋ, ಸಮಸ್ತ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಇರುವ ಬೀಜವುಳ್ಳ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಪಲ್ಯವನ್ನೂ ಬೀಜಬಿಡುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಹಣ್ಣಿನ ಮರವನ್ನೂ ನಿಮಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಅದು ನಿಮಗೆ ಆಹಾರಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ರುವದು.
30 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ನಾನು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಪ್ರತಿ ಯೊಂದು ಮೃಗಕ್ಕೂ ಆಕಾಶದ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಪಕ್ಷಿಗೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಹರಿದಾಡುವ ಜೀವವುಳ್ಳ ಪ್ರತಿ ಯೊಂದಕ್ಕೂ ಹಸುರಾದ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಪಲ್ಯವನ್ನು ಆಹಾರಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಅಂದನು; ಅದು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಯಿತು.
31 ದೇವರು ತಾನು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನೋಡಲಾಗಿ ಇಗೋ, ಅದು ಬಹಳ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಹೀಗೆ ಸಾಯಂಕಾಲವೂ ಪ್ರಾತಃಕಾಲವೂ ಆಗಿ ಆರನೆಯ ದಿನವಾಯಿತು.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
1 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
8 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
14 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
15 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
26 Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
