उत्पत्ति 49
1 फिर याकूब ने अपने पुत्रों को यह कहकर बुलाया, कि इकट्ठे हो जाओ, मैं तुम को बताऊंगा, कि अन्त के दिनों में तुम पर क्या क्या बीतेगा।
2 हे याकूब के पुत्रों, इकट्ठे हो कर सुनो, अपने पिता इस्राएल की ओर कान लगाओ।
3 हे रूबेन, तू मेरा जेठा, मेरा बल, और मेरे पौरूष का पहिला फल है; प्रतिष्ठा का उत्तम भाग, और शक्ति का भी उत्तम भाग तू ही है।
4 तू जो जल की नाईं उबलने वाला है, इसलिये औरों से श्रेष्ट न ठहरेगा; क्योंकि तू अपने पिता की खाट पर चढ़ा, तब तू ने उसको अशुद्ध किया; वह मेरे बिछौने पर चढ़ गया॥
5 शिमोन और लेवी तो भाई भाई हैं, उनकी तलवारें उपद्रव के हथियार हैं।
6 हे मेरे जीव, उनके मर्म में न पड़, हे मेरी महिमा, उनकी सभा में मत मिल; क्योंकि उन्होंने कोप से मनुष्यों को घात किया, और अपनी ही इच्छा पर चलकर बैलों की पूंछें काटी हैं॥
7 धिक्कार उनके कोप को, जो प्रचण्ड था; और उनके रोष को, जो निर्दय था; मैं उन्हें याकूब में अलग अलग और इस्राएल में तित्तर बित्तर कर दूंगा॥
8 हे यहूदा, तेरे भाई तेरा धन्यवाद करेंगे, तेरा हाथ तेरे शत्रुओं की गर्दन पर पड़ेगा; तेरे पिता के पुत्र तुझे दण्डवत करेंगे॥
9 यहूदा सिंह का डांवरू है। हे मेरे पुत्र, तू अहेर करके गुफा में गया है: वह सिंह वा सिंहनी की नाईं दबकर बैठ गया; फिर कौन उसको छेड़ेगा॥
10 जब तक शीलो न आए तब तक न तो यहूदा से राजदण्ड छूटेगा, न उसके वंश से व्यवस्था देनेवाला अलग होगा; और राज्य राज्य के लोग उसके आधीन हो जाएंगे॥
11 वह अपने जवान गदहे को दाखलता में, और अपनी गदही के बच्चे को उत्तम जाति की दाखलता में बान्धा करेगा ; उसने अपने वस्त्र दाखमधु में, और अपना पहिरावा दाखों के रस में धोया है॥
12 उसकी आंखे दाखमधु से चमकीली और उसके दांत दूध से श्वेत होंगे॥
13 जबूलून समुद्र के तीर पर निवास करेगा, वह जहाजों के लिये बन्दरगाह का काम देगा, और उसका परला भाग सीदोन के निकट पहुंचेगा
14 इस्साकार एक बड़ा और बलवन्त गदहा है, जो पशुओं के बाड़ों के बीच में दबका रहता है॥
15 उसने एक विश्रामस्थान देखकर, कि अच्छा है, और एक देश, कि मनोहर है, अपने कन्धे को बोझ उठाने के लिये झुकाया, और बेगारी में दास का सा काम करने लगा॥
16 दान इस्राएल का एक गोत्र हो कर अपने जातिभाइयों का न्याय करेगा॥
17 दान मार्ग में का एक सांप, और रास्ते में का एक नाग होगा, जो घोड़े की नली को डंसता है, जिस से उसका सवार पछाड़ खाकर गिर पड़ता है॥
18 हे यहोवा, मैं तुझी से उद्धार पाने की बाट जोहता आया हूं॥
19 गाद पर एक दल चढ़ाई तो करेगा; पर वह उसी दल के पिछले भाग पर छापा मारेगा॥
20 आशेर से जो अन्न उत्पन्न होगा वह उत्तम होगा, और वह राजा के योग्य स्वादिष्ट भोजन दिया करेगा॥
21 नप्ताली एक छूटी हुई हरिणी है; वह सुन्दर बातें बोलता है॥
22 यूसुफ बलवन्त लता की एक शाखा है, वह सोते के पास लगी हुई फलवन्त लता की एक शाखा है; उसकी डालियां भीत पर से चढ़कर फैल जाती हैं॥
23 धनुर्धारियों ने उसको खेदित किया, और उस पर तीर मारे, और उसके पीछे पड़े हैं॥
24 पर उसका धनुष दृढ़ रहा, और उसकी बांह और हाथ याकूब के उसी शक्तिमान ईश्वर के हाथों के द्वारा फुर्तीले हुए, जिसके पास से वह चरवाहा आएगा, जो इस्राएल का पत्थर भी ठहरेगा॥
25 यह तेरे पिता के उस ईश्वर का काम है, जो तेरी सहायता करेगा, उस सर्वशक्तिमान को जो तुझे ऊपर से आकाश में की आशीषें, और नीचे से गहिरे जल में की आशीषें, और स्तनों, और गर्भ की आशीषें देगा॥
26 तेरे पिता के आशीर्वाद मेरे पितरों के आशीर्वाद से अधिक बढ़ गए हैं और सनातन पहाडिय़ों की मन- चाही वस्तुओं की नाईं बने रहेंगे: वे यूसुफ के सिर पर, जो अपने भाइयों में से न्यारा हुआ, उसी के सिर के मुकुट पर फूले फलेंगे॥
27 बिन्यामीन फाड़नेहारा हुण्डार है, सवेरे तो वह अहेर भक्षण करेगा, और सांझ को लूट बांट लेगा॥
28 इस्राएल के बारहों गोत्र ये ही हैं: और उनके पिता ने जिस जिस वचन से उन को आशीर्वाद दिया, सो ये ही हैं; एक एक को उसके आशीर्वाद के अनुसार उसने आशीर्वाद दिया।
29 तब उसने यह कहकर उन को आज्ञा दी, कि मैं अपने लोगों के साथ मिलने पर हूं: इसलिये मुझे हित्ती एप्रोन की भूमिवाली गुफा में मेरे बापदादों के साथ मिट्टी देना,
30 अर्थात उसी गुफा में जो कनान देश में मम्रे के साम्हने वाली मकपेला की भूमि में है; उस भूमि को तो इब्राहीम ने हित्ती एप्रोन के हाथ से इसी निमित्त मोल लिया था, कि वह कबरिस्तान के लिये उसकी निज भूमि हो।
31 वहां इब्राहीम और उसकी पत्नी सारा को मिट्टी दी गई; और वहीं इसहाक और उसकी पत्नी रिबका को भी मिट्टी दी गई; और वहीं मैं ने लिआ: को भी मिट्टी दी।
32 वह भूमि और उस में की गुफा हित्तियों के हाथ से मोल ली गई।
33 यह आज्ञा जब याकूब अपने पुत्रों को दे चुका, तब अपने पांव खाट पर समेट प्राण छोड़े, और अपने लोगों में जा मिला।
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
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.
