लूका 24

1 परन्तु सप्ताह के पहिले दिन बड़े भोर को वे उन सुगन्धित वस्तुओं को जो उन्होंने तैयार की थीं, ले कर कब्र पर आईं।

2 और उन्होंने पत्थर को कब्र पर से लुढ़का हुआ पाया।

3 और भीतर जाकर प्रभु यीशु की लोथ न पाई।

4 जब वे इस बात से भौचक्की हो रही थीं तो देखो, दो पुरूष झलकते वस्त्र पहिने हुए उन के पास आ खड़े हुए।

5 जब वे डर गईं, और धरती की ओर मुंह झुकाए रहीं; तो उन्होंने उन ने कहा; तुम जीवते को मरे हुओं में क्यों ढूंढ़ती हो?

6 वह यहां नहीं, परन्तु जी उठा है; स्मरण करो; कि उस ने गलील में रहते हुए तुम से कहा था।

7 कि अवश्य है, कि मनुष्य का पुत्र पापियों के हाथ में पकड़वाया जाए, और क्रूस पर चढ़ाया जाए; और तीसरे दिन जी उठे।

8 तब उस की बातें उन को स्मरण आईं।

9 और कब्र से लौटकर उन्होंने उन ग्यारहों को, और, और सब को, ये बातें कह सुनाईं।

10 जिन्हों ने प्रेरितों से ये बातें कहीं, वे मरियम मगदलीनी और योअन्ना और याकूब की माता मरियम और उन के साथ की और स्त्रियां भी थीं।

11 परन्तु उन की बातें उन्हें कहानी सी समझ पड़ीं, और उन्होंने उन की प्रतीति न की।

12 तब पतरस उठकर कब्र पर दौड़ गया, और झुककर केवल कपड़े पड़े देखे, और जो हुआ था, उस से अचम्भा करता हुआ, अपने घर चला गया॥

13 देखो, उसी दिन उन में से दो जन इम्माऊस नाम एक गांव को जा रहे थे, जो यरूशलेम से कोई सात मील की दूरी पर था।

14 और वे इन सब बातों पर जो हुईं थीं, आपस में बातचीत करते जा रहे थे।

15 और जब वे आपस में बातचीत और पूछताछ कर रहे थे, तो यीशु आप पास आकर उन के साथ हो लिया।

16 परन्तु उन की आंखे ऐसी बन्द कर दी गईं थी, कि उसे पहिचान न सके।

17 उस ने उन से पूछा; ये क्या बातें हैं, जो तुम चलते चलते आपस में करते हो? वे उदास से खड़े रह गए।

18 यह सुनकर, उनमें से क्लियुपास नाम एक व्यक्ति ने कहा; क्या तू यरूशलेम में अकेला परदेशी है; जो नहीं जानता, कि इन दिनों में उस में क्या क्या हुआ है?

19 उस ने उन से पूछा; कौन सी बातें? उन्होंने उस से कहा; यीशु नासरी के विषय में जो परमेश्वर और सब लोगों के निकट काम और वचन में सामर्थी भविष्यद्वक्ता था।

20 और महायाजकों और हमारे सरदारों ने उसे पकड़वा दिया, कि उस पर मृत्यु की आज्ञा दी जाए; और उसे क्रूस पर चढ़वाया।

21 परन्तु हमें आशा थी, कि यही इस्त्राएल को छुटकारा देगा, और इन सब बातों के सिवाय इस घटना को हुए तीसरा दिन है।

22 और हम में से कई स्त्रियों ने भी हमें आश्चर्य में डाल दिया है, जो भोर को कब्र पर गई थीं।

23 और जब उस की लोथ न पाई, तो यह कहती हुई आईं, कि हम ने स्वर्गदूतों का दर्शन पाया, जिन्हों ने कहा कि वह जीवित है।

24 तब हमारे साथियों में से कई एक कब्र पर गए, और जैसा स्त्रियों ने कहा था, वैसा ही पाया; परन्तु उस को न देखा।

25 तब उस ने उन से कहा; हे निर्बुद्धियों, और भविष्यद्वक्ताओं की सब बातों पर विश्वास करने में मन्दमतियों!

26 क्या अवश्य न था, कि मसीह ये दुख उठाकर अपनी महिमा में प्रवेश करे?

27 तब उस ने मूसा से और सब भविष्यद्वक्ताओं से आरम्भ करके सारे पवित्र शास्त्रों में से, अपने विषय में की बातों का अर्थ, उन्हें समझा दिया।

28 इतने में वे उस गांव के पास पहुंचे, जहां वे जा रहे थे, और उसके ढंग से ऐसा जान पड़ा, कि वह आगे बढ़ना चाहता है।

29 परन्तु उन्होंने यह कहकर उसे रोका, कि हमारे साथ रह; क्योंकि संध्या हो चली है और दिन अब बहुत ढल गया है। तब वह उन के साथ रहने के लिये भीतर गया।

30 जब वह उन के साथ भोजन करने बैठा, तो उस ने रोटी लेकर धन्यवाद किया, और उसे तोड़कर उन को देने लगा।

31 तब उन की आंखे खुल गईं; और उन्होंने उसे पहचान लिया, और वह उन की आंखों से छिप गया।

32 उन्होंने आपस में कहा; जब वह मार्ग में हम से बातें करता था, और पवित्र शास्त्र का अर्थ हमें समझाता था, तो क्या हमारे मन में उत्तेजना न उत्पन्न हुई?

33 वे उसी घड़ी उठकर यरूशलेम को लौट गए, और उन ग्यारहों और उन के साथियों को इकट्ठे पाया।

34 वे कहते थे, प्रभु सचमुच जी उठा है, और शमौन को दिखाई दिया है।

35 तब उन्होंने मार्ग की बातें उन्हें बता दीं और यह भी कि उन्होंने उसे रोटी तोड़ते समय क्योंकर पहचाना॥

36 वे ये बातें कह ही रहे ये, कि वह आप ही उन के बीच में आ खड़ा हुआ; और उन से कहा, तुम्हें शान्ति मिले।

37 परन्तु वे घबरा गए, और डर गए, और समझे, कि हम किसी भूत को देखते हैं।

38 उस ने उन से कहा; क्यों घबराते हो और तुम्हारे मन में क्यों सन्देह उठते हैं?

39 मेरे हाथ और मेरे पांव को देखो, कि मैं वहीं हूं; मुझे छूकर देखो; क्योंकि आत्मा के हड्डी मांस नहीं होता जैसा मुझ में देखते हो।

40 यह कहकर उस ने उन्हें अपने हाथ पांव दिखाए।

41 जब आनन्द के मारे उन को प्रतीति न हुई, और आश्चर्य करते थे, तो उस ने उन से पूछा; क्या यहां तुम्हारे पास कुछ भोजन है?

42 उन्होंने उसे भूनी मछली का टुकड़ा दिया।

43 उस ने लेकर उन के साम्हने खाया।

44 फिर उस ने उन से कहा, ये मेरी वे बातें हैं, जो मैं ने तुम्हारे साथ रहते हुए, तुम से कही थीं, कि अवश्य है, कि जितनी बातें मूसा की व्यवस्था और भविष्यद्वक्ताओं और भजनों की पुस्तकों में, मेरे विषय में लिखी हैं, सब पूरी हों।

45 तब उस ने पवित्र शास्त्र बूझने के लिये उन की समझ खोल दी।

46 और उन से कहा, यों लिखा है; कि मसीह दु:ख उठाएगा, और तीसरे दिन मरे हुओं में से जी उठेगा।

47 और यरूशलेम से लेकर सब जातियों में मन फिराव का और पापों की क्षमा का प्रचार, उसी के नाम से किया जाएगा।

48 तुम इन सब बातें के गवाह हो।

49 और देखो, जिस की प्रतिज्ञा मेरे पिता ने की है, मैं उस को तुम पर उतारूंगा और जब तक स्वर्ग से सामर्थ न पाओ, तब तक तुम इसी नगर में ठहरे रहो॥

50 तब वह उन्हें बैतनिय्याह तक बाहर ले गया, और अपने हाथ उठाकर उन्हें आशीष दी।

51 और उन्हें आशीष देते हुए वह उन से अलग हो गया और स्वर्ग से उठा लिया गया।

52 और वे उस को दण्डवत करके बड़े आनन्द से यरूशलेम को लौट गए।

53 और लगातार मन्दिर में उपस्थित होकर परमेश्वर की स्तुति किया करते थे॥

1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

8 And they remembered his words,

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

1 Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them.

7 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.

10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.

29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
