Isaiah 2
1 యూదాను గూర్చియు యెరూషలేమును గూర్చియు ఆమోజు కుమారుడైన యెషయాకు దర్శనమువలన కలిగిన దేవోక్తి
2 అంత్యదినములలో పర్వతములపైన యెహోవా మందిర పర్వతము పర్వత శిఖరమున స్థిరపరచబడి కొండల కంటె ఎత్తుగా ఎత్తబడును ప్రవాహము వచ్చినట్లు సమస్త అన్యజనులు దానిలోనికి వచ్చెదరు
3 ఆ కాలమున సీయోనులోనుండి ధర్మశాస్త్రము యెరూషలేములోనుండి యెహోవా వాక్కు బయలు వెళ్లును. జనములు గుంపులు గుంపులుగా వచ్చి యాకోబు దేవుని మందిరమునకు యెహోవా పర్వత మునకు మనము వెళ్లుదము రండి ఆయన తన మార్గముల విషయమై మనకు బోధించును మనము ఆయన త్రోవలలో నడుతము అని చెప్పుకొందురు.
4 ఆయన మధ్యవర్తియై అన్యజనులకు న్యాయము తీర్చును అనేక జనములకు తీర్పుతీర్చును వారు తమ ఖడ్గములను నాగటి నక్కులుగాను తమ యీటెలను మచ్చుకత్తులుగాను సాగగొట్టుదురు జనముమీదికి జనము ఖడ్గమెత్తక యుండును యుద్ధముచేయ నేర్చుకొనుట ఇక మానివేయును.
5 యాకోబు వంశస్థులారా, రండి మనము యెహోవా వెలుగులో నడుచుకొందము.
6 యాకోబు వంశమగు ఈ జనము తూర్పున నుండిన జనుల సంప్రదాయములతో నిండుకొనియున్నారు వారు ఫిలిష్తీయులవలెమంత్ర ప్రయోగము చేయుదురు అన్యులతో సహవాసము చేయుదురు గనుక నీవు వారిని విసర్జించి యున్నావు.
7 వారి దేశము వెండి బంగారములతో నిండియున్నది వారి ఆస్తి సంపాద్యమునకు మితిలేదు వారి దేశము గుఱ్ఱములతో నిండియున్నది వారి రథ ములకు మితిలేదు.
8 వారి దేశము విగ్రహములతో నిండియున్నది వారు తమ చేతిపనికి తాము వ్రేళ్లతో చేసిన దానికి నమస్కారము చేయుదురు
9 అల్పులు అణగద్రొక్కబడుదురు ఘనులు తగ్గింప బడు దురు కాబట్టి వారిని క్షమింపకుము.
10 యెహోవా భీకరసన్నిధినుండియు ఆయన ప్రభావ మహాత్మ్యమునుండియు బండ బీటలోనికి దూరుము మంటిలో దాగి యుండుము.
11 నరుల అహంకారదృష్టి తగ్గింపబడును మనుష్యుల గర్వము అణగద్రొక్కబడును ఆ దినమున యెహోవా మాత్రమే ఘనత వహించును.
12 అహంకారాతిశయముగల ప్రతిదానికిని ఔన్నత్యము గల ప్రతిదానికిని విమర్శించు దినమొకటి సైన్యములకధిపతియగు యెహోవా నియమించియున్నాడు అవి అణగద్రొక్కబడును.
13 ఔన్నత్యము కలిగి అతిశయించు లెబానోను దేవదారు వృక్షములకన్నిటికిని బాషాను సిందూర వృక్షములకన్నిటికిని
14 ఉన్నతపర్వతములకన్నిటికిని ఎత్తయిన మెట్లకన్నిటికిని
15 ఉన్నతమైన ప్రతిగోపురమునకును బురుజులుగల ప్రతి కోటకును
16 తర్షీషు ఓడలకన్నిటికిని రమ్యమైన విచిత్ర వస్తువుల కన్నిటికిని ఆ దినము నియమింపబడియున్నది.
17 అప్పుడు నరుల అహంకారము అణగద్రొక్కబడును మనుష్యుల గర్వము తగ్గింపబడును ఆ దినమున యెహోవామాత్రమే ఘనత వహించును.
18 విగ్రహములు బొత్తిగా నశించిపోవును.
19 యెహోవా భూమిని గజగజ వణకింప లేచునప్పుడు ఆయన భీకర సన్నిధినుండియు ఆయన ప్రభావ మాహాత్మ్యమునుండియు మనుష్యులు కొండల గుహలలో దూరుదురు నేల బొరియలలో దూరుదురు.
20 ఆ దినమున యెహోవా భూమిని గజగజ వణకింప లేచునప్పుడు ఆయన భీకర సన్నిధినుండియు ఆయన ప్రభావ మాహాత్మ్యమునుండియు కొండల గుహలలోను బండబీటలలోను
21 దూరవలెనన్న ఆశతో నరులు తాము పూజించుటకై చేయించుకొనిన వెండి విగ్రహములను సువర్ణ విగ్రహ ములను ఎలుకలకును గబ్బిలములకును పారవేయుదురు.
22 తన నాసికారంధ్రములలో ప్రాణముకలిగిన నరుని లక్ష్యపెట్టకుము; వానిని ఏవిషయములో ఎన్నిక చేయవచ్చును?
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
