उत्पत्ति 45
1 तब यूसुफ उन सब के साम्हने, जो उसके आस पास खड़े थे, अपने को और रोक न सका; और पुकार के कहा, मेरे आस पास से सब लोगों को बाहर कर दो। भाइयों के साम्हने अपने को प्रगट करने के समय यूसुफ के संग और कोई न रहा।
2 तब वह चिल्ला चिल्लाकर रोने लगा: और मिस्रियों ने सुना, और फिरौन के घर के लोगों को भी इसका समाचार मिला।
3 तब यूसुफ अपने भाइयों से कहने लगा, मैं यूसुफ हूं, क्या मेरा पिता अब तब जीवित है? इसका उत्तर उसके भाई न दे सके; क्योंकि वे उसके साम्हने घबरा गए थे।
4 फिर यूसुफ ने अपने भाइयों से कहा, मेरे निकट आओ। यह सुनकर वे निकट गए। फिर उसने कहा, मैं तुम्हारा भाई यूसुफ हूं, जिस को तुम ने मिस्र आनेहारों के हाथ बेच डाला था।
5 अब तुम लोग मत पछताओ, और तुम ने जो मुझे यहां बेच डाला, इस से उदास मत हो; क्योंकि परमेश्वर ने तुम्हारे प्राणों को बचाने के लिये मुझे आगे से भेज दिया है।
6 क्योंकि अब दो वर्ष से इस देश में अकाल है; और अब पांच वर्ष और ऐसे ही होंगे, कि उन में न तो हल चलेगा और न अन्न काटा जाएगा।
7 सो परमेश्वर ने मुझे तुम्हारे आगे इसी लिये भेजा, कि तुम पृथ्वी पर जीवित रहो, और तुम्हारे प्राणों के बचने से तुम्हारा वंश बढ़े।
8 इस रीति अब मुझ को यहां पर भेजने वाले तुम नहीं, परमेश्वर ही ठहरा: और उसी ने मुझे फिरौन का पिता सा, और उसके सारे घर का स्वामी, और सारे मिस्र देश का प्रभु ठहरा दिया है।
9 सो शीघ्र मेरे पिता के पास जा कर कहो, तेरा पुत्र यूसुफ इस प्रकार कहता है, कि परमेश्वर ने मुझे सारे मिस्र का स्वामी ठहराया है; इसलिये तू मेरे पास बिना विलम्ब किए चला आ।
10 और तेरा निवास गोशेन देश में होगा, और तू, बेटे, पोतों, भेड़-बकरियों, गाय-बैलों, और अपने सब कुछ समेत मेरे निकट रहेगा।
11 और अकाल के जो पांच वर्ष और होंगे, उन में मैं वहीं तेरा पालन पोषण करूंगा; ऐसा न हो कि तू, और तेरा घराना, वरन जितने तेरे हैं, सो भूखों मरें।
12 और तुम अपनी आंखों से देखते हो, और मेरा भाई बिन्यामीन भी अपनी आंखों से देखता है, कि जो हम से बातें कर रहा है सो यूसुफ है।
13 और तुम मेरे सब वैभव का, जो मिस्र में है और जो कुछ तुम ने देखा है, उस सब को मेरे पिता से वर्णन करना; और तुरन्त मेरे पिता को यहां ले आना।
14 और वह अपने भाई बिन्यामीन के गले से लिपट कर रोया; और बिन्यामीन भी उसके गले से लिपट कर रोया।
15 तब वह अपने सब भाइयों को चूम कर उन से मिल कर रोया: और इसके पश्चात उसके भाई उससे बातें करने लगे॥
16 इस बात की चर्चा, कि यूसुफ के भाई आए हैं, फिरौन के भवन तब पंहुच गई, और इस से फिरौन और उसके कर्मचारी प्रसन्न हुए।
17 सो फिरौन ने यूसुफ से कहा, अपने भाइयों से कह, कि एक काम करो, अपने पशुओं को लादकर कनान देश में चले जाओ।
18 और अपने पिता और अपने अपने घर के लोगों को ले कर मेरे पास आओ; और मिस्र देश में जो कुछ अच्छे से अच्छा है वह मैं तुम्हें दूंगा, और तुम्हें देश के उत्तम से उत्तम पदार्थ खाने को मिलेंगे।
19 और तुझे आज्ञा मिली है, तुम एक काम करो, कि मिस्र देश से अपने बालबच्चों और स्त्रियों के लिये गाडियां ले जाओ, और अपने पिता को ले आओ।
20 और अपनी सामग्री का मोह न करना; क्योंकि सारे मिस्र देश में जो कुछ अच्छे से अच्छा है सो तुम्हारा है।
21 और इस्राएल के पुत्रों ने वैसा ही किया। और यूसुफ ने फिरौन की मान के उन्हें गाडियां दी, और मार्ग के लिये सीधा भी दिया।
22 उन में से एक एक जन को तो उसने एक एक जोड़ा वस्त्र भी दिया; और बिन्यामीन को तीन सौ रूपे के टुकड़े और पांच जोड़े वस्त्र दिए।
23 और अपने पिता के पास उसने जो भेजा वह यह है, अर्थात मिस्र की अच्छी वस्तुओं से लदे हुए दस गदहे, और अन्न और रोटी और उसके पिता के मार्ग के लिये भोजनवस्तु से लदी हुई दस गदहियां।
24 और उसने अपने भाइयों को विदा किया, और वे चल दिए; और उसने उन से कहा, मार्ग में कहीं झगड़ा न करना।
25 मिस्र से चलकर वे कनान देश में अपने पिता याकूब के पास पहुंचे।
26 और उससे यह वर्णन किया, कि यूसुफ अब तक जीवित है, और सारे मिस्र देश पर प्रभुता वही करता है। पर उसने उनकी प्रतीति न की, और वह अपने आपे में न रहा।
27 तब उन्होंने अपने पिता याकूब से यूसुफ की सारी बातें, जो उसने उन से कहीं थी, कह दीं; जब उसने उन गाडिय़ों को देखा, जो यूसुफ ने उसके ले आने के लिये भेजीं थीं, तब उसका चित्त स्थिर हो गया।
28 और इस्राएल ने कहा, बस, मेरा पुत्र यूसुफ अब तक जीवित है: मैं अपनी मृत्यु से पहिले जा कर उसको देखूंगा॥
1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
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.
