Numbers 21
1 ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు అతారీయుల మార్గమున వచ్చు చున్నారని దక్షిణదిక్కున నివసించిన కనానీయుడైన అరాదు రాజు విని, అతడు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులతో యుద్ధము చేసి వారిలో కొందిరిని చెరపట్టగా
2 ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు యెహోవాకు మ్రొక్కుకొని నీవు మా చేతికి ఈ జన మును బొత్తిగా అప్పగించినయెడల మేము వారి పట్టణము లను నీ పేరట నిర్మూలము చేసెదమనిరి.
3 యెహోవా ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల మాట ఆలకించి ఆ కానానీయులను అప్పగింపగా ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు వారిని వారి పట్టణములను నిర్మూలము చేసిరి. అందువలన ఆ చోటికి హోర్మా అను పేరు పెట్టబడెను.
4 వారు ఎదోముదేశమును చుట్టి పోవలెనని హోరు కొండనుండి ఎఱ్ఱసముద్రమార్గముగా సాగినప్పుడు మార్గా యాసముచేత జనుల ప్రాణము సొమ్మసిల్లెను.
5 కాగా ప్రజలు దేవునికిని మోషేకును విరోధముగా మాటలాడిఈ అరణ్యములో చచ్చుటకు ఐగుప్తులోనుండి మీరు మమ్ము నెందుకు రప్పించితిరి? ఇక్కడ ఆహారము లేదు, నీళ్లు లేవు, చవిసారములు లేని యీ అన్నము మాకు అసహ్య మైనదనిరి.
6 అందుకు యెహోవా ప్రజలలోనికి తాప కరములైన సర్పములను పంపెను; అవి ప్రజలను కరువగా ఇశ్రాయేలీయులలో అనేకులు చనిపోయిరి.
7 కాబట్టి ప్రజలు మోషే యొద్దకు వచ్చిమేము యెహోవాకును నీకును విరోధముగా మాటలాడి పాపము చేసితివిు; యెహోవా మా మధ్య నుండి ఈ సర్పములను తొలగించునట్లు ఆయనను వేడుకొనుమనిరి.
8 మోషే ప్రజలకొరకు ప్రార్థన చేయగా యెహోవానీవు తాపకరమైన సర్పము వంటి ప్రతిమను చేయించి స్తంభముమీద పెట్టుము; అప్పుడు కరవబడిన ప్రతివాడును దానివైపుచూచి బ్రదుకునని మోషేకు సెలవిచ్చెను.
9 కాబట్టి మోషే ఇత్తడి సర్ప మొకటి చేయించి స్తంభముమీద దానిని పెట్టెను. అప్పుడు సర్పపుకాటు తినిన ప్రతివాడు ఆ యిత్తడి సర్పమును నిదానించి చూచినందున బ్రదికెను.
10 తరువాత ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు సాగి ఓబోతులో దిగిరి.
11 ఓబోతులో నుండి వారు సాగి సూర్యోదయదిక్కున, అనగా మోయాబు ఎదుట అరణ్యమందలి ఈయ్యె అబారీమునొద్ద దిగిరి.
12 అక్కడనుండి వారు సాగి జెరెదు లోయలో దిగిరి.
13 అక్కడనుండి వారు సాగి అమోరీయుల పొలిమేరలనుండి వచ్చి ప్రవహించి అరణ్యమందు సంచరించు అర్నోను అద్దరిని దిగిరి. అర్నోను మోయాబీయులకును అమోరీ యులకును మధ్యనుండు మోయాబు సరిహద్దు.
14 కాబట్టి యెహోవా సుడిగాలిచేతనైనట్టు వాహేబును అర్నో నులో పడు ఏరులను ఆరు దేశ నివాసస్థలమునకు తిరిగి మోయాబు ప్రాంతములకు సమీపముగా
15 ప్రవహించు ఏరుల మడుగులను పట్టుకొనెననుమాట యెహోవా యుద్ధ ముల గ్రంథములో వ్రాయబడియున్నది.
16 అక్కడనుండి వారు బెయేరుకు వెళ్లిరి. యెహోవా జనులను పోగు చేయుము, నేను వారికి నీళ్ల నిచ్చెదనని మోషేతో చెప్పిన బావి అది.
17 అప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు ఈ పాట పాడిరి బావీ ఉబుకుము. దాని కీర్తించుడి బావీ; యేలికలు దాని త్రవ్విరి
18 తమ అధికార దండములచేతను కఱ్ఱలచేతను జనుల అధికారులు దాని త్రవ్విరి.
19 వారు అరణ్యమునుండి మత్తానుకును మత్తానునుండి నహలీయేలుకును నహలీయేలునుండి బామోతుకును
20 మోయాబు దేశమందలి లోయలోనున్న బామోతునుండి యెడారికి ఎదురుగానున్న పిస్గాకొండకు వచ్చిరి.
21 ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు అమోరీయుల రాజైన సీహోను నొద్దకు దూతలను పంపిమమ్మును నీ దేశములో బడి వెళ్లనిమ్ము.
22 మేము పొలములకైనను ద్రాక్ష తోటలకైనను పోము; బావుల నీళ్లు త్రాగము; మేము నీ పొలిమేరలను దాటువరకు రాజమార్గములోనే నడిచి పోదుమని అతనితో చెప్పించిరి.
23 అయితే సీహోను ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను తన పొలిమేరలను దాటనియ్య లేదు. మరియు సీహోను తన సమస్త జనమును కూర్చుకొని ఇశ్రాయేలీయులను ఎదుర్కొనుటకు అరణ్యములోనికి వెళ్లి, యాహజుకు వచ్చి ఇశ్రాయేలీయులతో యుద్ధముచేసెను.
24 ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు వానిని కత్తివాత హతముచేసి, వాని దేశమును అర్నోను మొదలుకొని యబ్బోకువరకు, అనగా అమ్మోనీయుల దేశమువరకు స్వాధీనపరచుకొనిరి. అమ్మోనీయుల పొలిమేర దుర్గమమైనది.
25 అయినను ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు ఆ పట్టణములన్నిటిని పట్టుకొనిరి. ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు అమోరీ యుల పట్టణములన్నిటిలోను హెష్బోనులోను దాని పల్లె లన్నిటిలోను దిగిరి.
26 హెష్బోను అమోరీయుల రాజైన సీహోను పట్టణము; అతడు అంతకు మునుపు మోయాబు రాజుతో యుద్ధముచేసి అర్నోనువరకు వాని దేశమంతయు పట్టుకొనెను.
27 కాబట్టి సామెతలు పలుకు కవులు ఇట్లు చెప్పుదురు హెష్బోనుకు రండి సీహోను పట్టణమును కట్టవలెను దానిని స్థాపింపవలెను
28 హెష్బోనునుండి అగ్ని బయలువెళ్లెను సీహోను పట్టణమునుండి జ్వాలలు బయలువెళ్లెను అది మోయాబునకు చేరిన ఆరు దేశమును కాల్చెను అర్నోనుయొక్క ఉన్నతస్థలముల ప్రభువులను కాల్చెను.
29 మోయాబూ, నీకు శ్రమ కెమోషు జనులారా, మీరు నశించితిరి తప్పించుకొనిన తన కుమారులను తన కుమార్తెలను అతడు అమోరీయులరాజైన సీహోనుకు చెరగాఇచ్చెను.
30 వాటిమీద గురిపెట్టి కొట్టితివిు దీబోనువరకు హెష్బోను నశించెను నోఫహువరకు దాని పాడు చేసితివిు. అగ్నివలన మేదెబావరకు పాడుచేసితివిు.
31 అట్లు ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు అమోరీయుల దేశములో దిగిరి.
32 మరియు యాజెరు దేశమును సంచరించి చూచు టకై మోషే మనుష్యులను పంపగా వారు దాని గ్రామ ములను వశము చేసికొని అక్కడనున్న అమోరీయులను తోలివేసిరి.
33 వారు తిరిగి బాషాను మార్గముగా వెళ్లినప్పుడు బాషాను రాజైన ఓగును అతని సమస్త జనమును ఎద్రెయీలో యుద్ధము చేయుటకు వారిని ఎదుర్కొన బయలుదేరగా
34 యెహోవా మోషేతో నిట్లనెను అతనికి భయపడకుము; నేను అతనిని అతని సమస్త జనమును అతని దేశమును నీ చేతికి అప్పగించితిని; నీవు హెష్బోనులో నివసించిన అమోరీయుల రాజైన సీహోనుకు చేసినట్లు ఇతనికిని చేయుదువు.
35 కాబట్టి వారు అతనిని అతని కుమారులను అతనికి ఒక్కడైనను శేషించకుండ అతని సమస్త జనమును హతముచేసి అతని దేశమును స్వాధీన పరచుకొనిరి.
1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
10 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
16 And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the Lord spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
17 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
21 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king’s high way, until we be past thy borders.
23 And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
24 And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
25 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
29 Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
31 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
32 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
33 And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
John 10 in Tamil and English
1 “ആമേൻ, ആമേൻ, ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടു പറയുന്നു, ആട്ടിൻ തൊഴിത്തിൽ വാതിലൂടെ കടക്കാതെ വേറെ വഴിയായി കയറുന്നവൻ കള്ളനും കവർച്ചക്കാരനും ആകുന്നു.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 വാതിലൂടെ കടക്കുന്നവനോ ആടുകളുടെ ഇടയൻ ആകുന്നു.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 അവന്നു വാതിൽ കാവൽക്കാരൻ തുറന്നുകൊടുക്കുന്നു; ആടുകൾ അവന്റെ ശബ്ദം കേൾക്കുന്നു; തന്റെ ആടുകളെ അവൻ പേർ ചൊല്ലി വിളിച്ചു പുറത്തു കൊണ്ടുപോകുന്നു.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 തനിക്കുള്ളവയെ ഒക്കെയും പുറത്തുകൊണ്ടു പോയശേഷം അവൻ അവെക്കു മുമ്പായി നടക്കുന്നു; ആടുകൾ അവന്റെ ശബ്ദം അറിഞ്ഞു അവനെ അനുഗമിക്കുന്നു.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 അന്യന്മാരുടെ ശബ്ദം അറിയായ്കകൊണ്ടു അവ അന്യനെ അനുഗമിക്കാതെ വിട്ടു ഓടിപ്പോകും.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 ഈ സാദൃശ്യം യേശു അവരോടു പറഞ്ഞു; എന്നാൽ തങ്ങളോടു പറഞ്ഞതു ഇന്നതു എന്നു അവർ ഗ്രഹിച്ചില്ല.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 യേശു പിന്നെയും അവരോടു പറഞ്ഞതു: “ആമേൻ, ആമേൻ, ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടു പറയുന്നു: ആടുകളുടെ വാതിൽ ഞാൻ ആകുന്നു.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 എനിക്കു മുമ്പെ വന്നവർ ഒക്കെയും കള്ളന്മാരും കവർച്ചക്കാരും അത്രേ; ആടുകളോ അവരുടെ വാക്കു കേട്ടില്ല.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 ഞാൻ വാതിൽ ആകുന്നു; എന്നിലൂടെ കടക്കുന്നവൻ രക്ഷപ്പെടും; അവൻ അകത്തു വരികയും പുറത്തുപോകയും മേച്ചൽ കണ്ടെത്തുകയും ചെയ്യും.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 മോഷ്ടിപ്പാനും അറുപ്പാനും മുടിപ്പാനും അല്ലാതെ കള്ളൻ വരുന്നില്ല; അവർക്കു ജീവൻ ഉണ്ടാകുവാനും സമൃദ്ധിയായിട്ടു ഉണ്ടാകുവാനും അത്രേ ഞാൻ വന്നിരിക്കുന്നതു.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 ഞാൻ നല്ല ഇടയൻ ആകുന്നു; നല്ല ഇടയൻ ആടുകൾക്കു വേണ്ടി തന്റെ ജീവനെ കൊടുക്കുന്നു.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 ഇടയനും ആടുകളുടെ ഉടമസ്ഥനുമല്ലാത്ത കൂലിക്കാരൻ ചെന്നായ് വരുന്നതു കണ്ടു ആടുകളെ വിട്ടു ഓടിക്കളയുന്നു; ചെന്നായ് അവയെ പിടിക്കയും ചിന്നിച്ചുകളകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 അവൻ കൂലിക്കാരനും ആടുകളെക്കുറിച്ചു വിചാരമില്ലാത്തവനുമല്ലോ.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 ഞാൻ നല്ല ഇടയൻ; പിതാവു എന്നെ അറികയും ഞാൻ പിതാവിനെ അറികയും ചെയ്യുന്നതുപോലെ ഞാൻ എനിക്കുള്ളവയെ അറികയും എനിക്കുള്ളവ എന്നെ അറികയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 ആടുകൾക്കു വേണ്ടി ഞാൻ എന്റെ ജീവനെ കൊടുക്കുന്നു.
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 ഈ തൊഴുത്തിൽ ഉൾപ്പെടാത്ത വേറെ ആടുകൾ എനിക്കു ഉണ്ടു; അവയെയും ഞാൻ നടത്തേണ്ടതാകുന്നു; അവ എന്റെ ശബ്ദം കേൾക്കും; ഒരാട്ടിൻ കൂട്ടവും ഒരിടയനും ആകും.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 എന്റെ ജീവനെ വീണ്ടും പ്രാപിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ഞാൻ അതിനെ കൊടുക്കുന്നതുകൊണ്ടു പിതാവു എന്നെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നു.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 ആരും അതിനെ എന്നോടു എടുത്തുകളയുന്നില്ല; ഞാൻ തന്നേ അതിനെ കൊടുക്കുന്നു; അതിനെ കൊടുപ്പാൻ എനിക്കു അധികാരം ഉണ്ടു; വീണ്ടും പ്രാപിപ്പാനും അധികാരം ഉണ്ടു; ഈ കല്പന എന്റെ പിതാവിങ്കൽ നിന്നു എനിക്കു ലഭിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19 ഈ വചനം നിമിത്തം യെഹൂദന്മാരുടെ ഇടയിൽ പിന്നെയും ഭിന്നത ഉണ്ടായി.
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
20 അവരിൽ പലരും; അവന്നു ഭൂതം ഉണ്ടു; അവൻ ഭ്രാന്തൻ ആകുന്നു; അവന്റെ വാക്കു കേൾക്കുന്നതു എന്തിന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21 മറ്റു ചിലർ: ഇതു ഭൂതഗ്രസ്തന്റെ വാക്കല്ല; ഭൂതത്തിന്നു കുരുടന്മാരുടെ കണ്ണു തുറപ്പാൻ കഴിയുമോ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22 അനന്തരം യെരൂശലേമിൽ പ്രതിഷ്ഠോത്സവം ആചരിച്ചു; അന്നു ശീതകാലമായിരുന്നു.
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 യേശു ദൈവലായത്തിൽ ശലോമോന്റെ മണ്ഡപത്തിൽ നടന്നുകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
24 യെഹൂദന്മാർ അവനെ വളഞ്ഞു: നീ എത്രത്തോളം ഞങ്ങളെ ആശിപ്പിക്കുന്നു? നീ ക്രിസ്തു എങ്കിൽ സ്പഷ്ടമായി പറക എന്നു അവനോടു പറഞ്ഞു.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 യേശു അവരോടു ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞതു: “ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോടു പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ടു; എങ്കിലും നിങ്ങൾ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നില്ല; എന്റെ പിതാവിന്റെ നാമത്തിൽ ഞാൻ ചെയ്യുന്ന പ്രവൃത്തികൾ എനിക്കു സാക്ഷ്യം ആകുന്നു.
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
26 നിങ്ങളോ എന്റെ ആടുകളുടെ കൂട്ടത്തിലുള്ളവരല്ലായ്കയാൽ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നില്ല. എന്റെ ആടുകൾ എന്റെ ശബ്ദം കേൾക്കുന്നു;
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 ഞാൻ അവയെ അറികയും അവ എന്നെ അനുഗമിക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 ഞാൻ അവെക്കു നിത്യജീവൻ കൊടുക്കുന്നു; അവ ഒരുനാളും നശിച്ചു പോകയില്ല; ആരും അവയെ എന്റെ കയ്യിൽ നിന്നു പിടിച്ചുപറിക്കയും ഇല്ല.
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 അവയെ തന്നിരിക്കുന്ന എന്റെ പിതാവു എല്ലാവരിലും വലിയവൻ; പിതാവിന്റെ കയ്യിൽ നിന്നു പിടിച്ചുപറിപ്പാൻ ആർക്കും കഴികയില്ല
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 ഞാനും പിതാവും ഒന്നാകുന്നു.”
I and my Father are one.
31 യെഹൂദന്മാർ അവനെ എറിവാൻ പിന്നെയും കല്ലു എടുത്തു.
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 യേശു അവരോടു: “പിതാവിന്റെ കല്പനയാൽ ഞാൻ പല നല്ല പ്രവൃത്തികൾ നിങ്ങളെ കാണിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു; അവയിൽ ഏതു പ്രവൃത്തിനിമിത്തം നിങ്ങൾ എന്നെ കല്ലെറിയുന്നു?” എന്നു ചോദിച്ചു.
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 യെഹൂദന്മാർ അവനോടു: നല്ല പ്രവൃത്തി നിമിത്തമല്ല, ദൈവദൂഷണം നിമിത്തവും നീ മനുഷ്യനായിരിക്കെ നിന്നെത്തന്നേ ദൈവം ആക്കുന്നതുകൊണ്ടുമത്രേ ഞങ്ങൾ നിന്നെ കല്ലെറിയുന്നതു എന്നു ഉത്തരം പറഞ്ഞു.
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 യേശു അവരോടു: “നിങ്ങൾ ദേവന്മാർ ആകുന്നു എന്നു ഞാൻ പറഞ്ഞു എന്നു നിങ്ങളുടെ ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തിൽ എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നില്ലയോ?
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 ദൈവത്തിന്റെ അരുളപ്പാടു ഉണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ളവരെ ദേവന്മാർ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു എങ്കിൽ-തിരുവെഴുത്തിന്നു നീക്കം വന്നുകൂടായല്ലോ-
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 ഞാൻ ദൈവത്തിന്റെ പുത്രൻ എന്നു പറഞ്ഞതുകൊണ്ടു: നീ ദൈവദൂഷണം പറയുന്നു എന്നു പിതാവു വിശുദ്ധീകരിച്ചു ലോകത്തിൽ അയച്ചവനോടു നിങ്ങൾ പറയുന്നുവോ?
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37 ഞാൻ എന്റെ പിതാവിന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തി ചെയ്യുന്നില്ലെങ്കിൽ എന്നെ വിശ്വസിക്കേണ്ടാ;
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38 ചെയ്യുന്നു എങ്കിലോ എന്നെ വിശ്വസിക്കാതിരുന്നാലും പിതാവു എന്നിലും ഞാൻ പിതാവിലും എന്നു നിങ്ങൾ ഗ്രഹിച്ചു അറിയേണ്ടതിന്നു പ്രവൃത്തിയെ വിശ്വസിപ്പിൻ”.
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39 അവർ അവനെ പിന്നെയും പിടിപ്പാൻ നോക്കി; അവനോ അവരുടെ കയ്യിൽ നിന്നു ഒഴിഞ്ഞുപോയി.
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
40 അവൻ യോർദ്ദാന്നക്കരെ യോഹന്നാൻ ആദിയിൽ സ്നാനം കഴിപ്പിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരുന്ന സ്ഥലത്തു പിന്നെയും ചെന്നു അവിടെ പാർത്തു.
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
41 പലരും അവന്റെ അടുക്കൽ വന്നു: യോഹന്നാൻ അടയാളം ഒന്നും ചെയ്തിട്ടില്ല; എന്നാൽ ഇവനെക്കുറിച്ചു യോഹന്നാൻ പറഞ്ഞതു ഒക്കെയും സത്യമായിരുന്നു എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42 അവിടെ പലരും അവനിൽ വിശ്വസിച്ചു.
And many believed on him there.
