उत्पत्ति 28
1 तब इसहाक ने याकूब को बुलाकर आशीर्वाद दिया, और आज्ञा दी, कि तू किसी कनानी लड़की को न ब्याह लेना।
2 पद्दनराम में अपने नाना बतूएल के घर जा कर वहां अपने मामा लाबान की एक बेटी को ब्याह लेना।
3 और सर्वशक्तिमान ईश्वर तुझे आशीष दे, और फुला-फला कर बढ़ाए, और तू राज्य राज्य की मण्डली का मूल हो।
4 और वह तुझे और तेरे वंश को भी इब्राहीम की सी आशीष दे, कि तू यह देश जिस में तू परदेशी हो कर रहता है, और जिसे परमेश्वर ने इब्राहीम को दिया था, उसका अधिकारी हो जाए।
5 और इसहाक ने याकूब को विदा किया, और वह पद्दनराम को अरामी बतूएल के उस पुत्र लाबान के पास चला, जो याकूब और ऐसाव की माता रिबका का भाई था।
6 जब इसहाक ने याकूब को आशीर्वाद देकर पद्दनराम भेज दिया, कि वह वहीं से पत्नी ब्याह लाए, और उसको आशीर्वाद देने के समय यह आज्ञा भी दी, कि तू किसी कनानी लड़की को ब्याह न लेना;
7 और याकूब माता पिता की मान कर पद्दनराम को चल दिया;
8 तब ऐसाव यह सब देख के और यह भी सोच कर, कि कनानी लड़कियां मेरे पिता इसहाक को बुरी लगती हैं,
9 इब्राहीम के पुत्र इश्माएल के पास गया, और इश्माएल की बेटी महलत को, जो नबायोत की बहिन थी, ब्याह कर अपनी पत्नियों में मिला लिया॥
10 सो याकूब बेर्शेबा से निकल कर हारान की ओर चला।
11 और उसने किसी स्थान में पहुंच कर रात वहीं बिताने का विचार किया, क्योंकि सूर्य अस्त हो गया था; सो उसने उस स्थान के पत्थरों में से एक पत्थर ले अपना तकिया बना कर रखा, और उसी स्थान में सो गया।
12 तब उसने स्वप्न में क्या देखा, कि एक सीढ़ी पृथ्वी पर खड़ी है, और उसका सिरा स्वर्ग तक पहुंचा है: और परमेश्वर के दूत उस पर से चढ़ते उतरते हैं।
13 और यहोवा उसके ऊपर खड़ा हो कर कहता है, कि मैं यहोवा, तेरे दादा इब्राहीम का परमेश्वर, और इसहाक का भी परमेश्वर हूं: जिस भूमि पर तू पड़ा है, उसे मैं तुझ को और तेरे वंश को दूंगा।
14 और तेरा वंश भूमि की धूल के किनकों के समान बहुत होगा, और पच्छिम, पूरब, उत्तर, दक्खिन, चारों ओर फैलता जाएगा: और तेरे और तेरे वंश के द्वारा पृथ्वी के सारे कुल आशीष पाएंगे।
15 और सुन, मैं तेरे संग रहूंगा, और जहां कहीं तू जाए वहां तेरी रक्षा करूंगा, और तुझे इस देश में लौटा ले आऊंगा: मैं अपने कहे हुए को जब तक पूरा न कर लूं तब तक तुझ को न छोडूंगा।
16 तब याकूब जाग उठा, और कहने लगा; निश्चय इस स्थान में यहोवा है; और मैं इस बात को न जानता था।
17 और भय खा कर उसने कहा, यह स्थान क्या ही भयानक है! यह तो परमेश्वर के भवन को छोड़ और कुछ नहीं हो सकता; वरन यह स्वर्ग का फाटक ही होगा।
18 भोर को याकूब तड़के उठा, और अपने तकिए का पत्थर ले कर उसका खम्भा खड़ा किया, और उसके सिरे पर तेल डाल दिया।
19 और उसने उस स्थान का नाम बेतेल रखा; पर उस नगर का नाम पहिले लूज था।
20 और याकूब ने यह मन्नत मानी, कि यदि परमेश्वर मेरे संग रहकर इस यात्रा में मेरी रक्षा करे, और मुझे खाने के लिये रोटी, और पहिनने के लिये कपड़ा दे,
21 और मैं अपने पिता के घर में कुशल क्षेम से लौट आऊं: तो यहोवा मेरा परमेश्वर ठहरेगा।
22 और यह पत्थर, जिसका मैं ने खम्भा खड़ा किया है, परमेश्वर का भवन ठहरेगा: और जो कुछ तू मुझे दे उसका दशमांश मैं अवश्य ही तुझे दिया करूंगा॥
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
6 When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
7 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram;
8 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
9 Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
