Micah 3
1 ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਆਗੂ ਬਦੀ ਦੇ ਦੋਸ਼ੀ ਫ਼ਿਰ ਮੈਂ ਆਖਿਆ, “ਯਾਕੂਬ ਦੇ ਆਗੂਓ, ਹੁਣ ਸੁਣੋ! ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਰਾਜ ਦੇ ਸਰਦਾਰੋ, ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਇਨਸਾਫ਼ ਕੀ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਇਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਪਤਾ ਹੋਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ!
2 ਪਰ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਚੰਗਾਈ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਬੁਰਾਈ ਚੰਗੀ ਲੱਗਦੀ ਹੈ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਚਮੜੀ ਉਧੇੜ ਕੇ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਹੱਡੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਮਾਸ ਨੋਚਦੇ ਹੋ।
3 ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਬਰਬਾਦ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀ ਚਮੜੀ ਉਧੇੜ ਕੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੱਡ ਤੋੜ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਹੱਡਾਂ ਦਾ ਕੀਮਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਹਾਂਡੀ ’ਚ ਮਾਸ ਵਾਂਗ ਰਿੰਨ੍ਹਦੇ ਹੋ।
4 ਤਦ ਉਹ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅੱਗੇ ਦੁਹਾਈ ਦੇਣਗੇ ਪਰ ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਵਾਬ ਨਾ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਵੇਲੇ ਉਹ ਆਪਣਾ ਮੂੰਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਲੁਕਾ ਲਵੇਗਾ। ਕਿਉਂ ਕਿ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਭੈੜੇ ਕੰਮ ਕੀਤੇ ਹਨ।”
5 ਝੂਠੇ ਨਬੀ ਕੁਝ ਝੂਠੇ ਨਬੀ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਝੂਠੀਆਂ ਅਫ਼ਵਾਹਾਂ ਸੁਣਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਬੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਇਉਂ ਫ਼ੁਰਮਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ: “ਇਹ ਨਬੀ ਰੋਟੀਆਂ ਕਾਰਣ ਆਪਣੇ ਬਚਨ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਜਿਹੜਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਨ ਦੇਵੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲਈ ਨਬੀ ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ ਦਾ ਇਕਰਾਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜੰਗ ਦਾ ਬਚਨ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ।
6 “ਇਸੇ ਲਈ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਘਨਘੋਰ ਹਨੇਰਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਵੇਖਦੇ। ਭਵਿੱਖ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੀ ਵਾਪਰੇਗਾ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਵੇਖ ਸੱਕਦੇ। ਨਬੀਆਂ ਉੱਤੋਂ ਸੂਰਜ ਹਟ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, ਭਵਿੱਖ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੀ ਵਾਪਰੇਗਾ, ਉਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਵੇਖ ਸੱਕਦੇ। ਇਸੇ ਲਈ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਇਹ ਘੋਰ ਅੰਧਕਾਰ ਵਾਂਗ ਹੈ।
7 ਸਾਰੇ ਨਬੀ ਅਤੇ ਭਵਿੱਖਵਕਤਾ ਸ਼ਰਮਸਾਰ ਹਨ। ਉਹ ਕੁਝ ਨਾ ਆਖਣਗੇ ਕਿਉਂ ਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਨਾ ਬੋਲੇਗਾ।
8 ਮੀਕਾਹ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦਾ ਸੱਚਾ ਨਬੀ ਪਰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇ ਆਤਮੇ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਤਾਕਤ, ਸ਼ਕਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਨੇਕੀ ਨਾਲ ਭਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਯਾਕੂਬ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪਾਪਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਦੱਸ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹਾਂ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪਾਪਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਦੱਸਾਂ।”
9 ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਆਗੂਆਂ ਦਾ ਦੋਸ਼ ਯਾਕੂਬ ਦੇ ਆਗੂਓ ਅਤੇ ਇਸਰਾਏਲ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਾਸਕੋ, ਮੇਰੀ ਗੱਲ ਸੁਣੋ! ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਹੀ ਜੀਵਨ ਢੰਗ ਨੂੰ ਨਫ਼ਰਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋ। ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜਿਉਣ ਦੇ ਸਹੀ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਗਾੜਦੇ ਹੋ।
10 ਤੁਸੀਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਹਤਿਆ ਨਾਲ ਸੀਯੋਨ ਨੂੰ ਸਿੰਜਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਧੋਖਾ ਦੇਕੇ ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਉਸਾਰਿਆ।
11 ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਦੇ ਨਿਆਂਕਾਰ ਵਾਢੀ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਨਿਆਉ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉੱਥੇ ਜਾਜਕ ਪੈਸੇ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਨਬੀ ਪੈਸੇ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਭਵਿੱਖਬਾਣੀ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਉਹ ਇਹ ਆਖਕੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਉੱਤੇ ਆਸਰਾ ਲੈਂਦੇ ਹਨ, “ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਇੱਥੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਅੰਗ ਸੰਗ ਹੈ ਤੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਕੁਝ ਮਾੜਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਵਾਪਰੇਗਾ।”
12 ਹੇ ਆਗੂਓ! ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕਾਰਣ ਸੀਯੋਨ ਦੀ ਤਬਾਹੀ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਖੇਤ ਵਾਂਗ ਵਾਹਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ। ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਬੇਹ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ ਪਹਾੜ ਵਾਲਾ ਮੰਦਰ ਇੱਕ ਸੱਖਣੀ ਉਚਿਆਈ ਜਿੱਥੇ ਜੰਗਲੀ ਬੋਹਰ ਉਗੇਗੀ।
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.
2 John 1 in Tamil and English
1 పెద్దనైన నేను, ఏర్పరచబడినదైన అమ్మగారికిని ఆమె పిల్లలకును శుభమని చెప్పి వ్రాయునది.
The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 నేనును, నేను మాత్రమే గాక సత్యము ఎరిగినవారందరును, మనలో నిలుచుచు మనతో ఎల్లప్పుడు ఉండు సత్యమునుబట్టి మిమ్మును నిజముగా ప్రేమించుచున్నాము.
For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
3 సత్యప్రేమలు మనయందుండగా తండ్రియైన దేవుని యొద్దనుండియు, తండ్రియొక్క కుమారుడగు యేసుక్రీస్తునొద్దనుండియు కృపయు కనికరమును సమాధానమును మనకు తోడగును.
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 తండ్రివలన మనము ఆజ్ఞను పొందినప్రకారము నీ పిల్లలలో కొందరు సత్యమును అనుసరించి1 నడుచుచుండుట కనుగొని బహుగా సంతోషించుచున్నాను.
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 కాగా అమ్మా, క్రొత్త ఆజ్ఞ నీకు వ్రాసినట్టు కాదు గాని మొదటనుండి మనకు కలిగిన ఆజ్ఞనే వ్రాయుచు, మనము ఒకరి నొకరము ప్రేమింపవలెనని నిన్ను వేడుకొనుచున్నాను.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 మనమాయన ఆజ్ఞలప్రకారము నడుచుటయే ప్రేమ; మీరు మొదటనుండి వినిన ప్రకారము ప్రేమలో నడుచుకొనవలెను అనునదియే ఆ ఆజ్ఞ.
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
7 యేసుక్రీస్తు శరీరధారియై వచ్చెనని యొప్పుకొనని వంచకులు అనేకులు లోకములో బయలుదేరి యున్నారు.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 అట్టివాడే వంచకుడును క్రీస్తు విరోధియునై యున్నాడు. మేము మీ మధ్యను నెరవేర్చిన కార్యములను చెడగొట్టుకొనక మీరు పూర్ణ ఫలము పొందునట్లు జాగ్రత్తగా చూచుకొనుడి.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 క్రీస్తుబోధ యందు నిలిచియుండక దానిని విడిచి ముందునకుసాగు ప్రతివాడును దేవుని అంగీకరింపనివాడు; ఆ బోధయందు నిలిచియుండువాడు తండ్రిని కుమారుని అంగీకరించు వాడు.
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 ఎవడైనను ఈ బోధను తేక మీ యొద్దకు వచ్చినయెడల వానిని మీ యింట చేర్చుకొనవద్దు; శుభమని వానితో చెప్పను వద్దు.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 శుభమని వానితో చెప్పువాడు వాని దుష్టక్రియలలో పాలివాడగును.
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 అనేక సంగతులు మీకు వ్రాయవలసియుండియు సిరాతోను కాగితముతోను వ్రాయ మనస్సులేక మీ సంతోషము పరిపూర్ణమవునట్లు మిమ్మును కలిసికొని ముఖా ముఖిగా మాటలాడ నిరీక్షించుచ
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
13 ఏర్పరచబడిన నీ సహోదరి పిల్లలు నీకు వందనములు చెప్పుచున్నారు.
The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
