Exodus 13
1 మరియు యెహోవా మోషేతో ఈలాగు సెల విచ్చెను
2 ఇశ్రాయేలీయులలో మనుష్యుల యొక్కయు పశువులయొక్కయు ప్రథమ సంతతి, అనగా ప్రతి తొలి చూలు పిల్లను నాకు ప్రతిష్ఠించుము; అది నాదని చెప్పెను.
3 మోషే ప్రజలతో నిట్లనెనుమీరు దాసగృహమైన ఐగుప్తునుండి బయలుదేరివచ్చిన దినమును జ్ఞాప కము చేసికొనుడి. యెహోవా తన బాహు బలముచేత దానిలోనుండి మిమ్మును బయటికి రప్పించెను; పులిసిన దేదియు తినవద్దు.
4 ఆబీబనునెలలో ఈ దినమందే మీరు బయలుదేరి వచ్చితిరిగదా.
5 యెహోవానీ కిచ్చెదనని నీ పితరులతో ప్రమాణము చేసినట్లు, కనానీయులకు హిత్తీయులకు అమోరీయులకు హివ్వీయులకు యెబూసీయు లకు నివాసస్థానమై యుండు, పాలు తేనెలు ప్రవహించు దేశమునకు నిన్ను రప్పించిన తరువాత నీవు ఈ ఆచారమును ఈ నెలలోనే జరుపుకొనవలెను.
6 ఏడు దినములు నీవు పులియని రొట్టెలను తినవలెను, ఏడవ దినమున యెహోవా పండుగ ఆచరింపవలెను.
7 పులియని వాటినే యేడు దినములు తినవలెను. పులిసినదేదియు నీయొద్దకనబడ కూడదు. నీ ప్రాంతము లన్నిటిలోను పొంగినదేదియు నీయొద్ద కనబడకూడదు.
8 మరియు ఆ దినమున నీవునేను ఐగుప్తు లోనుండి వచ్చినప్పుడు యెహోవా నాకు చేసినదాని నిమిత్తము పొంగని రొట్టెలను తినుచున్నానని నీ కుమారునికి తెలియచెప్పవలెను.
9 యెహోవా ధర్మ శాస్త్రము నీ నోట నుండునట్లు బలమైన చేతితో యెహోవా ఐగుప్తులోనుండి నిన్ను బయటికి రప్పించెనను టకు, ఈ ఆచారము నీ చేతిమీద నీకు సూచనగాను నీ కన్నుల మధ్య జ్ఞాపకార్థముగా ఉండును.
10 కాబట్టి ప్రతి సంవత్సరము ఈ కట్టడను దాని నియామక కాలమున ఆచరింపవలెను.
11 యెహోవా నీతోను నీ పితరులతోను ప్రమాణము చేసినట్లు ఆయన కనానీయుల దేశములోనికి నిన్ను చేర్చి దానిని నీకిచ్చిన తరువాత
12 ప్రతి తొలి చూలుపిల్లను, నీకు కలుగు పశువుల సంతతిలో ప్రతి తొలి పిల్లను యెహోవాకు ప్రతిష్ఠింపవలెను. వానిలో మగసంతానము యెహోవా దగును.
13 ప్రతి గాడిద తొలి పిల్లను వెలయిచ్చి విడిపించి దానికి మారుగా గొఱ్ఱపిల్లను ప్రతిష్ఠింపవలెను. అట్లు దానిని విడిపించని యెడల దాని మెడను విరుగదీయ వలెను. నీ కుమారులలో తొలిచూలియైన ప్రతి మగ వానిని వెలయిచ్చి విడిపింపవలెను.
14 ఇకమీదట నీ కుమా రుడుఇది ఏమిటని నిన్ను అడుగునప్పుడు నీవు వాని చూచిబాహుబలముచేత యెహోవా దాసగృహమైన ఐగుప్తులోనుండి మనలను బయటికి రప్పించెను.
15 ఫరో మనలను పోనియ్యకుండ తన మనస్సును కఠినపరచుకొనగా యెహోవా మనుష్యుల తొలి సంతానమేమి జంతువుల తొలి సంతానమేమి ఐగుప్తుదేశములో తొలి సంతాన మంతయు సంహరించెను. ఆ హేతువు చేతను నేను మగ దైన ప్రతి తొలిచూలు పిల్లను యెహోవాకు బలిగా అర్పించుదును; అయితే నా కుమారులలో ప్రతి తొలి సంతానము వెలయిచ్చి విడిపించుదునని చెప్పవలెను.
16 బాహు బలముచేత యెహోవా మనలను ఐగుప్తులోనుండి బయటికి రప్పించెను గనుక ఆ సంగతి నీ చేతిమీద సూచన గాను నీ కన్నుల మధ్య లలాట పత్రికగాను ఉండవలెను అని చెప్పెను.
17 మరియు ఫరో ప్రజలను పోనియ్యగా దేవుడుఈ ప్రజలు యుద్ధము చూచునప్పుడు వారు పశ్చాత్తాపపడి ఐగుప్తుకు తిరుగుదురేమో అనుకొని, ఫిలిష్తీయులదేశము సమీపమైనను ఆ మార్గమున వారిని నడిపింపలేదు.
18 అయితే దేవుడు ప్రజలను చుట్టుదారియగు ఎఱ్ఱసముద్రపు అరణ్యమార్గమున నడిపించెను. ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు యుద్ధ సన్నద్ధులై ఐగుప్తులోనుండి వచ్చిరి.
19 మరియు మోషే యోసేపు ఎముకలను తీసికొని వచ్చెను. అతడుదేవుడు నిశ్చయముగా దర్శనమిచ్చును; అప్పుడు మీరు నా ఎముక లను ఇక్కడనుండి తీసికొని పోవలెనని ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల చేత రూఢిగా ప్రమాణము చేయించుకొని యుండెను.
20 వారు సుక్కోతునుండి ప్రయాణమై పోయి, అరణ్యము దగ్గరనున్న ఏతాములో దిగిరి.
21 వారు పగలు రాత్రియుప్రయాణము చేయునట్లుగా యెహోవాత్రోవలో వారిని నడిపించుటకై పగటివేళ మేఘస్తంభములోను, వారికి వెలుగిచ్చుటకు రాత్రివేళ అగ్నిస్తంభములోను ఉండి వారికి ముందుగా నడచుచు వచ్చెను.
22 ఆయన పగటివేళ మేఘస్తంభమునైనను రాత్రివేళ అగ్నిస్తంభమునైనను ప్రజలయెదుటనుండి తొలగింపలేదు.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
11 And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the Lord’s.
13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
