Genesis 9
1 ದೇವರು ನೋಹನನ್ನೂ ಅವನ ಕುಮಾರರನ್ನೂ ಆಶೀರ್ವದಿಸಿ ಅವರಿಗೆ--ನೀವು ಬಹುಸಂತಾನವುಳ್ಳವರಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿ ಭೂಲೋಕದಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ತುಂಬಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ.
2 ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೃಗಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಆಕಾಶದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಹರಿದಾಡುವವು ಗಳೆಲ್ಲವುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿಾನುಗಳ ಮೇಲೆಯೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಭಯವು ಮತ್ತು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಹೆದರಿಕೆಯು ಇರುವದು; ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೈಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವು ಕೊಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿವೆ.
3 ಚಲಿಸುವ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಿಮಗೆ ಆಹಾರವಾಗಿ ಇರಲಿ, ಹಸುರು ಪಲ್ಯಗಳ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಾನು ನಿಮಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
4 ಆದರೆ ಮಾಂಸವನ್ನು ಜೀವವಿರುವ ರಕ್ತದೊಂದಿಗೆ ನೀವು ತಿನ್ನಬಾರದು.
5 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಣಗಳಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ನಿಮ್ಮ ರಕ್ತವನ್ನು ನಾನು ಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿಯೂ ವಿಚಾರಿಸುವೆನು.
6 ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೃಗಗಳಿಂದ ಅದನ್ನು ವಿಚಾರಿಸುವೆನು. ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಪ್ರಾಣವನ್ನು ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಂದಲೂ ಅವ ನವನ ಸಹೋದರನಿಂದಲೂ ವಿಚಾರಿಸುವೆನು. ಯಾವನು ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ರಕ್ತವನ್ನು ಸುರಿಸುವನೋ ಅವನ ರಕ್ತವು ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಂದಲೇ ಸುರಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವದು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ದೇವರು ತನ್ನ ಸ್ವರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯ ನನ್ನು ಉಂಟುಮಾಡಿದನು.
7 ನೀವು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿರಿ; ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಧಿಕವಾಗಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿರಿ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
8 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ದೇವರು ನೋಹನಿಗೂ ಅವನ ಸಂಗಡವಿರುವ ಅವನ ಕುಮಾರರಿಗೂ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದೇ ನಂದರೆ--
9 ಇಗೋ, ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಗಡಲೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ತರುವಾಯ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂತತಿ ಯವರ ಸಂಗಡಲೂ
10 ನಾವೆಯೊಳಗಿಂದ ಹೊರಗೆ ಬಂದ ಎಲ್ಲವುಗಳ ಅಂದರೆ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜೀವಿಗಳ ಸಹಿತ ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳೊಂದಿಗೂ ಪಶುಗಳೊಂದಿಗೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೃಗಗಳೊಂದಿಗೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕೂಡ ಇರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳೊಂದಿಗೂ
11 ನನ್ನ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಗಡ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಅದೇನಂದರೆ, ಇನ್ನು ಮೇಲೆ ಜಲಪ್ರಳಯದಿಂದ ಶರೀರಗಳಾವವೂ ನಾಶವಾಗುವದಿಲ್ಲ. ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಹಾಳುಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಇನ್ನು ಜಲಪ್ರಳಯವು ಇರುವ ದಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂಬದೇ.
12 ದೇವರು--ನನಗೂ ನಿಮಗೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಂಗಡ ಇರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳಿಗೂ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ತಲತಲಾಂತರಗಳ ವರೆಗೆ ನಾನು ಮಾಡುವ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಇದೇ ಗುರುತು.
13 ನನ್ನ ಬಿಲ್ಲು ಮೇಘಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಅದು ನನಗೂ ಭೂಮಿಗೂ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಗುರುತಾಗಿರುವದು.
14 ನಾನು ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮೇಘಗಳನ್ನು ಬರ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಆ ಬಿಲ್ಲು ಮೇಘಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣುವದು.
15 ಆಗ ನಾನು ನನಗೂ ನಿಮಗೂ ದೇಹಗಳಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳಿಗೂ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಇರುವ ನನ್ನ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವೆನು. ಇನ್ನು ಶರೀರಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಾಶಮಾಡುವ ಜಲಪ್ರಳಯವಾ ಗುವದೇ ಇಲ್ಲ.
16 ಆ ಬಿಲ್ಲು ಮೇಘಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವಾಗ ದೇವರಾದ ನನಗೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ದೇಹಗಳುಳ್ಳ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜೀವಜಂತುಗಳಿಗೂ ಮಧ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಿತ್ಯವಾಗಿರುವ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಹಾಗೆ ನಾನು ಅದನ್ನು ನೋಡುವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
17 ದೇವರು ನೋಹನಿಗೆ--ನಾನು ನನಗೂ ಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ದೇಹಗಳಿಗೂ ಮಧ್ಯ ದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಿದ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯ ಗುರುತು ಇದೇ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
18 ನಾವೆಯೊಳಗಿನಿಂದ ಹೊರಟು ಬಂದ ನೋಹನ ಕುಮಾರರು ಯಾರಂದರೆ, ಶೇಮ್‌ ಹಾಮ್‌ ಯೆಫೆತ್‌; ಹಾಮನು ಕಾನಾನನ ತಂದೆಯು.
19 ಈ ಮೂವರು ನೋಹನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು. ಇವರಿಂದ ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲೆಲ್ಲಾ ಜನರು ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಿದರು.
20 ನೋಹನು ವ್ಯವಸಾಯಗಾರನಾಗುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಿ ಒಂದು ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷೇತೋಟವನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದನು.
21 ಅವನು ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾರಸವನ್ನು ಕುಡಿದು ಅಮಲೇರಿ ತನ್ನ ಗುಡಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆತ್ತಲೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದನು.
22 ಕಾನಾನನ ತಂದೆಯಾದ ಹಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ತಂದೆಯ ಬೆತ್ತಲೆತನವನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ ಹೊರಗಿದ್ದ ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರಿಬ್ಬರಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿ ದನು.
23 ಆಗ ಶೇಮನೂ ಯೆಫೆತನೂ ಬಟ್ಟೆಯನ್ನು ತಕ್ಕೊಂಡು ತಮ್ಮಿಬ್ಬರ ಹೆಗಲಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಟ್ಟು ಹಿಂಭಾಗವಾಗಿ ಹೋಗಿ ತಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯ ಬೆತ್ತಲೆತನವನ್ನು ಮುಚ್ಚಿದರು. ಅವರ ಮುಖಗಳು ಹಿಂಭಾಗವಾಗಿದ್ದ ದರಿಂದ ತಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಯ ಬೆತ್ತಲೆತನವನ್ನು ಅವರು ನೋಡಲಿಲ್ಲ.
24 ನೋಹನು ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾರಸದ ಅಮಲಿನಿಂದ ಎಚ್ಚತ್ತು ತನ್ನ ಚಿಕ್ಕಮಗನು ತನಗೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದು ಅವನು--
25 ಕಾನಾನನು ಶಾಪಗ್ರಸ್ತನಾಗಲಿ. ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರರಿಗೆ ದಾಸಾನುದಾಸನಾ ಗಿರುವನು ಅಂದನು. ಅವನು--
26 ಶೇಮನ ದೇವ ರಾದ ಕರ್ತನು ಸ್ತುತಿಸಲ್ಪಡಲಿ; ಕಾನಾನನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ದಾಸನಾಗಿರಲಿ.
27 ಯೆಫೆತನನ್ನು ದೇವರು ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಲಿ; ಅವನು ಶೇಮನ ಗುಡಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸವಾಗಿರಲಿ; ಕಾನಾನನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ದಾಸನಾಗಿರಲಿ ಅಂದನು.
28 ಪ್ರಳಯವಾದ ಮೇಲೆ ನೋಹನು ಮೂನ್ನೂರ ಐವತ್ತು ವರುಷ ಬದುಕಿದನು.
29 ನೋಹನ ದಿನ ಗಳೆಲ್ಲಾ ಒಟ್ಟು ಒಂಭೈನೂರ ಐವತ್ತು ವರುಷ ಗಳಾಗಿದ್ದವು. ತರುವಾಯ ಅವನು ಸತ್ತನು.
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
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.
