Matthew 27

1 जब भोर हुई, तो सब महायाजकों और लोगों के पुरनियों ने यीशु के मार डालने की सम्मति की।

2 और उन्होंने उसे बान्धा और ले जाकर पीलातुस हाकिम के हाथ में सौंप दिया॥

3 जब उसके पकड़वाने वाले यहूदा ने देखा कि वह दोषी ठहराया गया है तो वह पछताया और वे तीस चान्दी के सिक्के महायाजकों और पुरनियों के पास फेर लाया।

4 और कहा, मैं ने निर्दोषी को घात के लिये पकड़वाकर पाप किया है? उन्होंने कहा, हमें क्या? तू ही जान।

5 तब वह उन सिक्कों मन्दिर में फेंककर चला गया, और जाकर अपने आप को फांसी दी।

6 महायाजकों ने उन सिक्कों लेकर कहा, इन्हें भण्डार में रखना उचित नहीं, क्योंकि यह लोहू का दाम है।

7 सो उन्होंने सम्मति करके उन सिक्कों से परदेशियों के गाड़ने के लिये कुम्हार का खेत मोल ले लिया।

8 इस कारण वह खेत आज तक लोहू का खेत कहलाता है।

9 तब जो वचन यिर्मयाह भविष्यद्वक्ता के द्वारा कहा गया था वह पूरा हुआ; कि उन्होंने वे तीस सिक्के अर्थात उस ठहराए हुए मूल्य को (जिसे इस्त्राएल की सन्तान में से कितनों ने ठहराया था) ले लिए।

10 और जैसे प्रभु ने मुझे आज्ञा दी थी वैसे ही उन्हें कुम्हार के खेत के मूल्य में दे दिया॥

11 जब यीशु हाकिम के साम्हने खड़ा था, तो हाकिम ने उस से पूछा; कि क्या तू यहूदियों का राजा है? यीशु ने उस से कहा, तू आप ही कह रहा है।

12 जब महायाजक और पुरिनए उस पर दोष लगा रहे थे, तो उस ने कुछ उत्तर नहीं दिया।

13 इस पर पीलातुस ने उस से कहा: क्या तू नहीं सुनता, कि ये तेरे विरोध में कितनी गवाहियां दे रहे हैं?

14 परन्तु उस ने उस को एक बात का भी उत्तर नहीं दिया, यहां तक कि हाकिम को बड़ा आश्चर्य हुआ।

15 और हाकिम की यह रीति थी, कि उस पर्व्व में लोगों के लिये किसी एक बन्धुए को जिसे वे चाहते थे, छोड़ देता था।

16 उस समय बरअब्बा नाम उन्हीं में का एक नामी बन्धुआ था।

17 सो जब वे इकट्ठे हुए, तो पीलातुस ने उन से कहा; तुम किस को चाहते हो, कि मैं तुम्हारे लिये छोड़ दूं? बरअब्बा को, या यीशु को जो मसीह कहलाता है?

18 क्योंकि वह जानता था कि उन्होंने उसे डाह से पकड़वाया है।

19 जब वह न्याय की गद्दी पर बैठा हुआ था तो उस की पत्नी ने उसे कहला भेजा, कि तू उस धर्मी के मामले में हाथ न डालना; क्योंकि मैं ने आज स्वप्न में उसके कारण बहुत दुख उठाया है।

20 महायाजकों और पुरनियों ने लोगों को उभारा, कि वे बरअब्बा को मांग ले, और यीशु को नाश कराएं।

21 हाकिम ने उन से पूछा, कि इन दोनों में से किस को चाहते हो, कि तुम्हारे लिये छोड़ दूं? उन्होंने कहा; बरअब्बा को।

22 पीलातुस ने उन से पूछा; फिर यीशु को जो मसीह कहलाता है, क्या करूं? सब ने उस से कहा, वह क्रूस पर चढ़ाया जाए।

23 हाकिम ने कहा; क्यों उस ने क्या बुराई की है? परन्तु वे और भी चिल्ला, चिल्लाकर कहने लगे, “वह क्रूस पर चढ़ाया जाए”।

24 जब पीलातुस ने देखा, कि कुछ बन नहीं पड़ता परन्तु इस के विपरीत हुल्लड़ होता जाता है, तो उस ने पानी लेकर भीड़ के साम्हने अपने हाथ धोए, और कहा; मैं इस धर्मी के लोहू से निर्दोष हूं; तुम ही जानो।

25 सब लोगों ने उत्तर दिया, कि इस का लोहू हम पर और हमारी सन्तान पर हो।

26 इस पर उस ने बरअब्बा को उन के लिये छोड़ दिया, और यीशु को कोड़े लगवाकर सौंप दिया, कि क्रूस पर चढ़ाया जाए॥

27 तब हाकिम के सिपाहियों ने यीशु को किले में ले जाकर सारी पलटन उसके चहुं ओर इकट्ठी की।

28 और उसके कपड़े उतारकर उसे किरिमजी बागा पहिनाया।

29 और काटों को मुकुट गूंथकर उसके सिर पर रखा; और उसके दाहिने हाथ में सरकण्डा दिया और उसके आगे घुटने टेककर उसे ठट्ठे में उड़ाने लगे, कि हे यहूदियों के राजा नमस्कार।

30 और उस पर थूका; और वही सरकण्डा लेकर उसके सिर पर मारने लगे।

31 जब वे उसका ठट्ठा कर चुके, तो वह बागा उस पर से उतारकर फिर उसी के कपड़े उसे पहिनाए, और क्रूस पर चढ़ाने के लिये ले चले॥

32 बाहर जाते हुए उन्हें शमौन नाम एक कुरेनी मनुष्य मिला, उन्होंने उसे बेगार में पकड़ा कि उसका क्रूस उठा ले चले।

33 और उस स्थान पर जो गुलगुता नाम की जगह अर्थात खोपड़ी का स्थान कहलाता है पहुंचकर।

34 उन्होंने पित्त मिलाया हुआ दाखरस उसे पीने को दिया, परन्तु उस ने चखकर पीना न चाहा।

35 तब उन्होंने उसे क्रूस पर चढ़ाया; और चिट्ठियां डालकर उसके कपड़े बांट लिए।

36 और वहां बैठकर उसका पहरा देने लगे।

37 और उसका दोषपत्र, उसके सिर के ऊपर लगाया, कि “यह यहूदियों का राजा यीशु है”।

38 तब उसके साथ दो डाकू एक दाहिने और एक बाएं क्रूसों पर चढ़ाए गए।

39 और आने जाने वाले सिर हिला हिलाकर उस की निन्दा करते थे।

40 और यह कहते थे, कि हे मन्दिर के ढाने वाले और तीन दिन में बनाने वाले, अपने आप को तो बचा; यदि तू परमेश्वर का पुत्र है, तो क्रूस पर से उतर आ।

41 इसी रीति से महायाजक भी शास्त्रियों और पुरनियों समेत ठट्ठा कर करके कहते थे, इस ने औरों को बचाया, और अपने को नहीं बचा सकता।

42 यह तो “इस्राएल का राजा है”। अब क्रूस पर से उतर आए, तो हम उस पर विश्वास करें।

43 उस ने परमेश्वर का भरोसा रखा है, यदि वह इस को चाहता है, तो अब इसे छुड़ा ले, क्योंकि इस ने कहा था, कि “मैं परमेश्वर का पुत्र हूं”।

44 इसी प्रकार डाकू भी जो उसके साथ क्रूसों पर चढ़ाए गए थे उस की निन्दा करते थे॥

45 दोपहर से लेकर तीसरे पहर तक उस सारे देश में अन्धेरा छाया रहा।

46 तीसरे पहर के निकट यीशु ने बड़े शब्द से पुकारकर कहा, एली, एली, लमा शबक्तनी अर्थात हे मेरे परमेश्वर, हे मेरे परमेश्वर, तू ने मुझे क्यों छोड़ दिया?

47 जो वहां खड़े थे, उन में से कितनों ने यह सुनकर कहा, वह तो एलिय्याह को पुकारता है।

48 उन में से एक तुरन्त दौड़ा, और स्पंज लेकर सिरके में डुबोया, और सरकण्डे पर रखकर उसे चुसाया।

49 औरों ने कहा, रह जाओ, देखें, एलिय्याह उसे बचाने आता है कि नहीं।

50 तब यीशु ने फिर बड़े शब्द से चिल्लाकर प्राण छोड़ दिए।

51 और देखो मन्दिर का परदा ऊपर से नीचे तक फट कर दो टुकड़े हो गया: और धरती डोल गई और चटानें तड़क गईं।

52 और कब्रें खुल गईं; और सोए हुए पवित्र लोगों की बहुत लोथें जी उठीं।

53 और उसके जी उठने के बाद वे कब्रों में से निकलकर पवित्र नगर में गए, और बहुतों को दिखाई दिए।

54 तब सूबेदार और जो उसके साथ यीशु का पहरा दे रहे थे, भुईंडोल और जो कुछ हुआ था, देखकर अत्यन्त डर गए, और कहा, सचमुच “यह परमेश्वर का पुत्र था”।

55 वहां बहुत सी स्त्रियां जो गलील से यीशु की सेवा करती हुईं उसके साथ आईं थीं, दूर से यह देख रही थीं।

56 उन में मरियम मगदलीली और याकूब और योसेस की माता मरियम और जब्दी के पुत्रों की माता थीं।

57 जब सांझ हुई तो यूसुफ नाम अरिमतियाह का एक धनी मनुष्य जो आप ही यीशु का चेला था आया: उस ने पीलातुस के पास जाकर यीशु की लोथ मांगी।

58 इस पर पीलातुस ने दे देने की आज्ञा दी।

59 यूसुफ ने लोथ को लेकर उसे उज्ज़वल चादर में लपेटा।

60 और उसे अपनी नई कब्र में रखा, जो उस ने चट्टान में खुदवाई थी, और कब्र के द्वार पर बड़ा पत्थर लुढ़काकर चला गया।

61 और मरियम मगदलीनी और दूसरी मरियम वहां कब्र के साम्हने बैठी थीं॥

62 दूसरे दिन जो तैयारी के दिन के बाद का दिन था, महायाजकों और फरीसियों ने पीलातुस के पास इकट्ठे होकर कहा।

63 हे महाराज, हमें स्मरण है, कि उस भरमाने वाले ने अपने जीते जी कहा था, कि मैं तीन दिन के बाद जी उठूंगा।

64 सो आज्ञा दे कि तीसरे दिन तक कब्र की रखवाली की जाए, ऐसा न हो कि उसके चेले आकर उसे चुरा ले जाएं, और लोगों से कहने लगें, कि वह मरे हुओं में से जी उठा है: तब पिछला धोखा पहिले से भी बुरा होगा।

65 पीलातुस ने उन से कहा, तुम्हारे पास पहरूए तो हैं जाओ, अपनी समझ के अनुसार रखवाली करो।

66 सो वे पहरूओं को साथ ले कर गए, और पत्थर पर मुहर लगाकर कब्र की रखवाली की॥

1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

32 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

36 And sitting down they watched him there;

37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

55 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

4 Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s glory.

5 And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.

6 And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.

7 And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.

8 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

9 And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.

10 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.

11 When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.

12 And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

13 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.

14 And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

17 When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.

19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the Lord’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.

21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

22 And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
