Psalm 33
1 ਹੇ ਸੱਜਨੋ, ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਨੰਦ ਮਾਣੋ। ਚੰਗੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਲਈ ਉਸਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰਨਾ ਚੰਗਾ ਹੈ।
2 ਸਾਰੰਗੀ ਵਜਾਉ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਰੋ। ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਲਈ ਦਸ ਤਾਰਾਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਸਾਜ਼ ਵਜਾਉ।
3 ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਨਵਾਂ ਗੀਤ। ਸੋਹਣੇ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਦੀ ਧੁਨ ਵਜਾਉ।
4 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਸੱਚਾ ਹੈ। ਜੋ ਵੀ ਉਹ ਕਰਦਾ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਉਸ ਉੱਤੇ ਨਿਰਭਰ ਹੋ ਸੱਕਦੇ ਹੋ।
5 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨਿਆਂਕਾਰ ਹੋਣ ਅਤੇ ਚੰਗੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਕਰਨ ਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਧਰਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਸੱਚਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਭਰਪੂਰ ਹੈ।
6 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਆਦੇਸ਼ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਸਾਜੀ ਗਈ। ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਮੁੱਖ ਤੋਂ ਨਿਕਲੇ ਹਰ ਸਾਹ ਨੇ ਧਰਤੀ ਦੀ ਹਰ ਸ਼ੈਅ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਹੈ।
7 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਸਾਗਰ ਚੋਂ ਪਾਣੀ ਇੱਕ ਥਾਵੇਂ ਇਕੱਠਾ ਕੀਤਾ। ਉਹ ਸਾਗਰ ਨੂੰ ਇਸਦੀ ਥਾਂ ਸਿਰ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ।
8 ਧਰਤੀ ਦੇ ਹਰ ਬੰਦੇ ਨੂੰ ਡਰਨਾ ਅਤੇ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਆਦਰ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਸਮੂਹ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਸਤੋਂ ਡਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ।
9 ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਆਦੇਸ਼ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਗੱਲ ਵਾਪਰ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਅਤੇ ਜੇਕਰ ਉਹ ਆਖਦਾ, “ਰੁਕੋ” ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਸੈਅ ਠਹਿਰ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।
10 ਉਹ ਹਰ ਇੱਕ ਦੀ ਯੋਜਨਾ ਨੂੰ ਤਬਾਹ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਯੋਜਨਾਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਬਾਹ ਕਰ ਸੱਕਦਾ ਹੈ।
11 ਪਰ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਮਸ਼ਵਰਾ ਸਦਾ ਲਈ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਿਉਂਤਾਂ ਪੀੜੀ ਦਰ ਪੀੜੀ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਹਨ।
12 ਉਹ ਲੋਕ ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਹੈ ਬਹੁਤ ਸੁਭਾਗੇ ਹਨ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਖਾਸ ਲੋਕ ਹੋਣ ਲਈ ਚੁਣਿਆ।
13 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਨੇ ਸਵਰਗ ਤੋਂ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਤੱਕਿਆ, ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਸਮੂਹ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਖਿਆ।
14 ਉਸ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਉੱਚੇ ਤਖਤ ਤੋਂ ਧਰਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਰਹਿਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਹੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵੱਲ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਦੇਖਿਆ।
15 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਹਰ ਬੰਦੇ ਦਾ ਮਨ ਸਾਜਿਆ। ਜੋ ਵੀ ਹਰ ਬੰਦਾ ਸੋਚਦਾ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈ।
16 ਰਾਜਾ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੀ ਵੱਡੇ ਬਲ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਚਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ। ਤਾਕਤਵਰ ਯੋਧਾ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਹੀ ਵੱਡੇ ਬਲ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਚਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ।
17 ਅਸਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਘੋੜੇ ਯੁੱਧ ਅੰਦਰ ਜਿੱਤ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦੇ। ਅਸਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਬਚ ਨਿਕਲਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਬਲ ਮਦਦ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਦਾ।
18 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦੇਖਦਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਦੇਖਭਾਲ ਕਰਦਾ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਮਾਰਗ ਉੱਤੇ ਤੁਰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਉਸਦਾ ਵੱਡਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਉਪਾਸਨਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ।
19 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੌਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਚਾਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਉਦੋਂ ਬਲ ਬਖਸ਼ਦਾ ਹੈ ਜਦੋਂ ਉਹ ਭੁੱਖੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ।
20 ਇਸ ਲਈ ਅਸੀਂ ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਦਾ ਇੰਤਜ਼ਾਰ ਕਰਾਂਗੇ। ਉਹ ਸਾਡੀ ਮਦਦ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਸਾਡੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ।
21 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਅਸਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਪ੍ਰਦਾਨ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਅਸੀਂ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਨਾਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਭਰੋਸਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
22 ਯਹੋਵਾਹ ਅਸੀਂ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਉਪਾਸਨਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਆਪਣਾ ਵੱਡਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਸਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਦਰਸਾਉ।
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
2 Peter 3 in Tamil and English
1 ప్రియులారా, యీ రెండవ పత్రిక మీకిప్పుడు వ్రాయుచున్నాను
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 పరిశుద్ధ ప్రవక్తలచేత పూర్వమందు పలుకబడిన మాటలను, ప్రభువైన రక్షకుడు మీ అపొస్తలుల ద్వారా ఇచ్చిన ఆజ్ఞను మీరు జ్ఞాపకము చేసికొనవలెనను విషయమును మీకు జ్ఞాపకముచేసి, నిర్మలమైన మీ మనస్సులను రేపుచున్నాను.
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 అంత్య దినములలో అపహాసకులు అపహసించుచువచ్చి, తమ స్వకీయ దురాశలచొప్పున నడుచుకొనుచు,
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 ఆయన రాకడను గూర్చిన వాగ్దాన మేమాయెను? పితరులు నిద్రించినది మొదలుకొని సమస్త మును సృష్టి ఆరంభముననున్నట్టే నిలిచి యున్నదే అని చెప్పుదురని మొదట మీరు తెలిసికొనవ
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 ఏలయనగా పూర్వమునుండి ఆకాశముండెననియు, నీళ్లలో నుండియు నీళ్లవలనను సమకూర్చబడిన భూమియు దేవుని వాక్యమువలన కలిగెననియు వారు బుద్ధిపూర్వకముగా మరతురు.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 ఆ నీళ్లవలన అప్పుడున్న లోకము నీటివరదలో మునిగి నశించెను.
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 అయితే ఇప్పుడున్న ఆకాశమును భూమియు భక్తిహీనుల తీర్పును నాశనమును జరుగు దినమువరకు అగ్నికొరకు నిలువచేయబడినవై, అదే వాక్యమువలన భద్రము చేయబడియున్నవి.
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 ప్రియులారా, ఒక సంగతి మరచిపోకుడి. ఏమనగా ప్రభువు దృష్టికి ఒక దినము వెయ్యిసంవత్సరములవలెను, వెయ్యిసంవత్సరములు ఒక దినమువలెను ఉన్నవి.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 కొందరు ఆలస్యమని యెంచుకొనునట్లు ప్రభువు తన వాగ్దానమును గూర్చి ఆలస్యము చేయువాడు కాడు గాని యెవడును నశింపవలెనని యిచ్ఛయింపక, అందరు మారుమనస్సు పొందవలెనని కోరుచు, మీ యెడల ధీర్ఘశాంతముగలవాడై యున్నాడు.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 అయితే ప్రభువు దినము దొంగవచ్చినట్లు వచ్చును. ఆ దినమున ఆకాశములు మహాధ్వనితో గతించి పోవును, పంచభూతములు మిక్కటమైన వేండ్రముతో లయమైపోవును, భూమియు దానిమీదన
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 ఇవన్నియు ఇట్లు లయమై పోవునవి గనుక, ఆకాశములు రవులుకొని లయమైపోవు నట్టియు, పంచభూతములు మహావేండ్రముతో కరిగిపోవు నట్టియు,
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 దేవుని దినపు రాకడకొరకు కనిపెట్టుచు, దానిని ఆశతో అపేక్షించుచు, మీరు పరిశుద్ధమైన ప్రవర్తనతోను భక్తితోను ఎంతో జాగ్రత్తగలవారై యుండవలెను.
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 అయినను మనమాయన వాగ్దానమునుబట్టి క్రొత్త ఆకాశములకొరకును క్రొత్త భూమికొరకును కనిపెట్టు చున్నాము; వాటియందు నీతి నివసించును.
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 ప్రియులారా, వీటికొరకు మీరు కనిపెట్టువారు గనుక శాంతముగలవారై, ఆయన దృష్టికి నిష్కళంకులు గాను నిందారహితులుగాను కనబడునట్లు జాగ్రత్త పడుడి.
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 మరియు మన ప్రభువుయొక్క దీర్ఘశాంతము రక్షణార్థమైనదని యెంచుకొనుడి. ఆలాగు మన ప్రియ సహోదరుడైన పౌలుకూడ తనకు అనుగ్రహింపబడిన జ్ఞానము చొప్పున మీకు వ్రాసి యున్నాడు.
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 వీటిని గూర్చి తన పత్రికలన్నిటిలోను బోధించుచున్నాడు; అయితే వాటిలో కొన్నిసంగతులు గ్రహించుటకు కష్టమైనవి. వీటిని విద్యావిహీనులును, అస్థిరులైనవారును, తక్కిన లేఖనములను అపార్థముచేసినట్లు, తమ స్వకీయ నాశనమునకు అపార్థము చేయుదురు.
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 ప్రియులారా, మీరు ఈ సంగతులు ముందుగా తెలిసికొనియున్నారు గనుక మీరు నీతివిరోధుల తప్పుబోధవలన తొలగింపబడి, మీకు కలిగిన స్థిరమనస్సును విడిచి పడిపోకుండ కాచు కొనియుండుడి.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 మన ప్రభువును రక్షకుడునైన యేసుక్రీస్తు అనుగ్రహించు కృపయందును జ్ఞానమందును అభి వృద్ధిపొందుడి. ఆయనకు ఇప్పుడును యుగాంతదినము వరకును మహిమ కలుగును గాక. ఆమేన్.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
