Obadiah 1
1 ఓబద్యాకు కలిగిన దర్శనము. ఎదోమును గురించి ప్రభువగు యెహోవా సెలవిచ్చునది. యెహోవాయొద్ద నుండి వచ్చిన సమాచారము మాకు వినబడెను. ఎదోము మీద యుద్ధము చేయుదము లెండని జనులను రేపుటకై దూత పంపబడియున్నాడు.
2 నేను అన్యజనులలో నిన్ను అల్పు నిగా చేసితిని, నీవు బహుగా తృణీకరింపబడుదువు.
3 అత్యున్నతమైన పర్వతములమీద ఆసీనుడవైయుండి కొండ సందులలో నివసించువాడానన్ను క్రిందికి పడ ద్రోయగలవాడె వడని అనుకొనువాడా, నీ హృదయపు గర్వముచేత నీవు మోసపోతివి.
4 పక్షిరాజు గూడంత యెత్తున నివాసము చేసికొని నక్షత్రములలో నీవు దాని కట్టినను అచ్చటనుండియు నేను నిన్ను క్రింద పడవేతును; ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
5 చోరులే గాని రాత్రి కన్నము వేయువారే గాని నీ మీదికి వచ్చినయెడల తమకు కావలసినంతమట్టుకు దోచుకొందురు గదా. ద్రాక్ష పండ్లను ఏరువారు నీయొద్దకు వచ్చినయెడల పరిగె యేరు కొనువారికి కొంత యుండనిత్తురుగదా; నిన్ను చూడగా నీవు బొత్తిగా చెడిపోయియున్నావు.
6 ఏశావు సంతతి వారి సొమ్ము సోదా చూడబడును; వారు దాచి పెట్టిన ధనమంతయు పట్టబడును.
7 నీతో సంధిచేసిన వారు నిన్ను తమ సరిహద్దువరకు పంపివేయుదురు; నీతో సమాధాన ముగా ఉన్నవారు నిన్ను మోసపుచ్చి నీకు బలాత్కారము చేయుదురు; వారు నీ యన్నము తిని నీ కొరకు ఉరి యొడ్డుదురు; ఎదోమునకు వివేచన లేకపోయెను.
8 ఆ దినమందు ఏశావు పర్వతములలో వివేచన లేకపోవునట్లు ఎదోములోనుండి జ్ఞానులను నాశముచేతును; ఇదే యెహోవా వాక్కు.
9 తేమానూ, నీ బలాఢ్యులు విస్మయ మొందుదురు, అందువలన ఏశావుయొక్క పర్వత నివాసు లందరు హతులై నిర్మూలమగుదురు.
10 నీ సహోదరులైన యాకోబు సంతతికి నీవు చేసిన బలాత్కారమును బట్టి నీవు అవమానము నొందుదువు, ఇక నెన్నటికిని లేకుండ నీవు నిర్మూలమగుదువు.
11 నీవు పగవాడవై నిలిచిన దిన మందు, పరదేశులు వారి ఆస్తిని పట్టుకొనిపోయిన దిన మందు, అన్యులు వారి గుమ్మములలోనికి చొరబడి యెరూష లేముమీద చీట్లువేసిన దినమందు నీవును వారితో కలిసి కొంటివి గదా.
12 నీ సహోదరుని శ్రమానుభవదినము చూచి నీవు ఆనందమొంద తగదు; యూదావారి నాశన దినమున వారి స్థితినిచూచి నీవు సంతోషింపతగదు;
13 నా జనుల ఆపద్దినమున నీవు వారి గుమ్మములలోనికి చొరబడ దగదు; వారి ఆపద్దినమున నీవు సంతోషపడుచు వారి బాధను చూడతగదు; వారి ఆపద్దినమున నీవు వారి ఆస్తిని పట్టుకొనతగదు;
14 వారిలో తప్పించుకొనినవారిని సంహ రించుటకు అడ్డత్రోవలలో నీవు నిలువతగదు, శ్రమదిన మందు అతనికి శేషించినవారిని శత్రువులచేతికి అప్పగింప తగదు.
15 యెహోవాదినము అన్యజనులందరిమీదికి వచ్చు చున్నది. అప్పుడు నీవు చేసినట్టే నీకును చేయబడును, నీవు చేసినదే నీ నెత్తిమీదికి వచ్చును.
16 మీరు నా పరిశుద్ధ మైన కొండమీద త్రాగినట్లు అన్యజనులందరును నిత్యము త్రాగుదురు; తాము ఇక నెన్నడు నుండనివారైనట్లు వారేమియు మిగులకుండ త్రాగుదురు.
17 అయితే సీయోను కొండ ప్రతిష్ఠితమగును, తప్పించుకొనినవారు దానిమీద నివసింతురు, యాకోబు సంతతివారు తమ స్వాస్థ్యములను స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు.
18 మరియు యాకోబు సంతతి వారు అగ్నియు, యోసేపు సంతతివారు మంటయు అగుదురు; ఏశావు సంతతివారు వారికి కొయ్యకాలుగా ఉందురు; ఏశావు సంతతివారిలో ఎవడును తప్పించుకొన కుండ యోసేపు సంతతివారు వారిలో మండి వారిని కాల్చుదురు. యెహోవా మాట యిచ్చియున్నాడు.
19 దక్షిణ దిక్కున నివసించువారు ఏశావుయొక్క పర్వత మును స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు; మైదానమందుండువారు ఫిలిష్తీయులదేశమును స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు; మరియు ఎఫ్రాయిమీయుల భూములను షోమ్రోనునకు చేరిన పొలమును వారు స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు. బెన్యామీ నీయులు గిలాదుదేశమును స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు.
20 మరియు ఇశ్రాయేలీయుల దండు, అనగా వారిలో చెర పట్టబడినవారు సారెపతువరకు కనానీయుల దేశమును స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు; యెరూషలేమువారిలో చెరపట్ట బడి సెఫారాదునకు పోయినవారు దక్షిణదేశపు పట్టణ ములను స్వతంత్రించుకొందురు.
21 మరియు ఏశావుయొక్క కొండకు తీర్పుతీర్చుటకై సీయోను కొండమీద రక్షకులు పుట్టుదురు; అప్పుడు రాజ్యము యెహోవాది యగును.
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
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.
