Psalm 68
1 परमेश्वर उठे, उसके शत्रु तित्तर बितर हों; और उसके बैरी उसके साम्हने से भाग जाएं।
2 जैसे धुआं उड़ जाता है, वैसे ही तू उन को उड़ा दे; जैसे मोम आग की आंच से पिघल जाता है, वैसे ही दुष्ट लोग परमेश्वर की उपस्थिति से नाश हों।
3 परन्तु धर्मी आनन्दित हों; वे परमेश्वर के साम्हने प्रफुल्लित हों; वे आनन्द से मगन हों!
4 परमेश्वर का गीत गाओ, उसके नाम का भजन गाओ; जो निर्जल देशों में सवार होकर चलता है, उसके लिये सड़क बनाओ; उसका नाम याह है, इसलिये तुम उसके साम्हने प्रफुल्लित हो!
5 परमेश्वर अपने पवित्र धाम में, अनाथों का पिता और विधवाओं का न्यायी है।
6 परमेश्वर अनाथों का घर बसाता है; और बन्धुओं को छुड़ाकर भाग्यवान करता है; परन्तु हठीलों को सूखी भूमि पर रहना पड़ता है॥
7 हे परमेश्वर, जब तू अपनी प्रजा के आगे आगे चलता था, जब तू निर्जल भूमि में सेना समेत चला,
8 तब पृथ्वी कांप उठी, और आकाश भी परमेश्वर के साम्हने टपकने लगा, उधर सीनै पर्वत परमेश्वर, हां इस्राएल के परमेश्वर के साम्हने कांप उठा।
9 हे परमेश्वर, तू ने बहुत से वरदान बरसाए; तेरा निज भाग तो बहुत सूखा था, परन्तु तू ने उसको हरा भरा किया है;
10 तेरा झुण्ड उस में बसने लगा; हे परमेश्वर तू ने अपनी भलाई से दीन जन के लिये तैयारी की है।
11 प्रभु आज्ञा देता है, तब शुभ समाचार सुनाने वालियों की बड़ी सेना हो जाती है।
12 अपनी अपनी सेना समेत राजा भागे चले जाते हैं, और गृहस्थिन लूट को बांट लेती है।
13 क्या तुम भेड़शालों के बीच लेट जाओगे? और ऐसी कबूतरी के समान होगे जिसके पंख चान्दी से और जिसके पर पीले सोने से मढ़े हुए हों?
14 जब सर्वशक्तिमान ने उस में राजाओं को तित्तर बितर किया, तब मानो सल्मोन पर्वत पर हिम पड़ा॥
15 बाशान का पहाड़ परमेश्वर का पहाड़ है; बाशान का पहाड़ बहुत शिखरवाला पहाड़ है।
16 परन्तु हे शिखर वाले पहाड़ों, तुम क्यों उस पर्वत को घूरते हो, जिसे परमेश्वर ने अपने वास के लिये चाहा है, और जहां यहोवा सदा वास किए रहेगा?
17 परमेश्वर के रथ बीस हजार, वरन हजारों हजार हैं; प्रभु उनके बीच में है, जैसे वह सीनै पवित्र स्थान में है।
18 तू ऊंचे पर चढ़ा, तू लोगों को बन्धुवाई में ले गया; तू ने मनुष्यों से, वरन हठीले मनुष्यों से भी भेंटें लीं, जिस से याह परमेश्वर उन में वास करे॥
19 धन्य है प्रभु, जो प्रति दिन हमारा बोझ उठाता है; वही हमारा उद्धारकर्ता ईश्वर है।
20 वही हमारे लिये बचाने वाला ईश्वर ठहरा; यहोवा प्रभु मृत्यु से भी बचाता है॥
21 निश्चय परमेश्वर अपने शत्रुओं के सिर पर, और जो अधर्म के र्माग पर चलता रहता है, उसके बाल भरी खोपड़ी पर मार मार के उसे चूर करेगा।
22 प्रभु ने कहा है, कि मैं उन्हें बाशान से निकाल लाऊंगा, मैं उन को गहिरे सागर के तल से भी फेर ले आऊंगा,
23 कि तू अपने पांव को लोहू में डुबोए, और तेरे शत्रु तेरे कुत्तों का भाग ठहरें॥
24 हे परमेश्वर तेरी गति देखी गई, मेरे ईश्वर, मेरे राजा की गति पवित्र स्थान में दिखाई दी है;
25 गाने वाले आगे आगे और तार वाले बाजों के बजाने वाले पीछे पीछे गए, चारों ओर कुमारियां डफ बजाती थीं।
26 सभाओं में परमेश्वर का, हे इस्राएल के सोते से निकले हुए लोगों, प्रभु का धन्यवाद करो।
27 वहां उनका अध्यक्ष छोटा बिन्यामीन है, वहां यहूदा के हाकिम अपने अनुचरों समेत हैं, वहां जबूलून और नप्ताली के भी हाकिम हैं॥
28 तेरे परमेश्वर ने आज्ञा दी, कि तुझे सामर्थ्य मिले; हे परमेश्वर जो कुछ तू ने हमारे लिये किया है, उसे दृढ़ कर।
29 तेरे मन्दिर के कारण जो यरूशलेम में हैं, राजा तेरे लिये भेंट ले आएंगे।
30 नरकटों में रहने वाले बनैले पशुओं को, सांड़ों के झुण्ड को और देश देश के बछड़ों को झिड़क दे। वे चान्दी के टुकड़े लिये हुए प्रणाम करेंगे; जो लोगे युद्ध से प्रसन्न रहते हैं, उन को उसने तितर बितर किया है।
31 मिस्त्र से रईस आएंगे; कूशी अपने हाथों को परमेश्वर की ओर फुर्ती से फैलाएंगे॥
32 हे पृथ्वी पर के राज्य राज्य के लोगों परमेश्वर का गीत गाओ; प्रभु का भजन गाओ,
33 जो सब से ऊंचे सनातन स्वर्ग में सवार होकर चलता है; देखो वह अपनी वाणी सुनाता है, वह गम्भीर वाणी शक्तिशाली है।
34 परमेश्वर की सामर्थ्य की स्तुति करो, उसका प्रताप इस्राएल पर छाया हुआ है, और उसकी सामर्थ्य आकाशमण्डल में है।
35 हे परमेश्वर, तू अपने पवित्र स्थानों में भय योग्य है, इस्राएल का ईश्वर ही अपनी प्रजा को सामर्थ्य और शक्ति का देने वाला है। परमेश्वर धन्य है॥
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.
2 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
3 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
4 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
5 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
6 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
7 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
8 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
9 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
10 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
11 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
12 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
13 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
14 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
15 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
16 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
17 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
18 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
19 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.
20 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
21 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death.
22 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
23 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
24 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
25 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
26 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
27 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
28 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
29 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
30 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
31 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
32 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
33 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
34 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
35 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
36 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
