Psalm 74
1 हे परमेश्वर, तू ने हमें क्यों सदा के लिये छोड़ दिया है? तेरी कोपाग्नि का धुआं तेरी चराई की भेंड़ों के विरुद्ध क्यों उठ रहा है?
2 अपनी मण्डली को जिसे तू ने प्राचीन काल में मोल लिया था, और अपने निज भाग का गोत्र होने के लिये छुड़ा लिया था, और इस सिय्योन पर्वत को भी, जिस पर तू ने वास किया था, स्मारण कर!
3 अपने डग सनातन की खंडहर की ओर बढ़ा; अर्थात उन सब बुराइयों की ओर जो शत्रु ने पवित्र स्थान में किए हैं॥
4 तेरे द्रोही तेरे सभा स्थान के बीच गरजते रहे हैं; उन्होंने अपनी ही ध्वजाओं को चिन्ह ठहराया है। वे उन मनुष्यों के समान थे
5 जो घने वन के पेड़ों पर कुल्हाड़े चलाते हैं।
6 और अब वे उस भवन की नक्काशी को, कुल्हाडियों और हथौड़ों से बिलकुल तोड़े डालते हैं।
7 उन्होंने तेरे पवित्र स्थान को आग में झोंक दिया है, और तेरे नाम के निवास को गिरा कर अशुद्ध कर डाला है।
8 उन्होंने मन में कहा है कि हम इन को एकदम दबा दें; उन्होंने इस देश में ईश्वर के सब सभा स्थानों को फूंक दिया है॥
9 हम को हमारे निशान नहीं देख पड़ते; अब कोई नबी नहीं रहा, न हमारे बीच कोई जानता है कि कब तक यह दशा रहेगी।
10 हे परमेश्वर द्रोही कब तक नामधराई करता रहेगा? क्या शत्रु, तेरे नाम की निन्दा सदा करता रहेगा?
11 तू अपना दहिना हाथ क्यों रोके रहता है? उसे अपने पांजर से निकाल कर उनका अन्त कर दे॥
12 परमेश्वर तो प्राचीन काल से मेरा राजा है, वह पृथ्वी पर उद्धार के काम करता आया है।
13 तू ने अपनी शक्ति से समुद्र को दो भाग कर दिया; तू ने जल में मगरमच्छों के सिरों को फोड़ दिया।
14 तू ने तो लिव्यातानों के सिर टुकड़े टुकड़े करके जंगली जन्तुओं को खिला दिए।
15 तू ने तो सोता खोल कर जल की धारा बहाई, तू ने तो बारहमासी नदियों को सुखा डाला।
16 दिन तेरा है रात भी तेरी है; सूर्य और चन्द्रमा को तू ने स्थिर किया है।
17 तू ने तो पृथ्वी के सब सिवानों को ठहराया; धूपकाल और जाड़ा दोनों तू ने ठहराए हैं॥
18 हे यहोवा स्मरण कर, कि शत्रु ने नामधराई की है, और मूढ़ लोगों ने तेरे नाम की निन्दा की है।
19 अपनी पिण्डुकी के प्राण को वनपशु के वश में न कर; अपने दीन जनों को सदा के लिये न भूल
20 अपनी वाचा की सुधि ले; क्योंकि देश के अन्धेरे स्थान अत्याचार के घरों से भरपूर हैं।
21 पिसे हुए जन को निरादर होकर लौटना न पड़े; दीन दरिद्र लोग तेरे नाम की स्तुति करने पाएं॥
22 हे परमेश्वर उठ, अपना मुकद्दमा आप ही लड़; तेरी जो नामधराई मूढ़ से दिन भर होती रहती है, उसे स्मरण कर।
23 अपने द्रोहियों का बड़ा बोल न भूल, तेरे विरोधियों का कोलाहल तो निरन्तर उठता रहता है।
1 Maschil of Asaph.
2 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
3 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
4 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
5 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
6 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
7 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
8 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
9 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
10 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
11 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
12 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
13 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
14 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
15 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
16 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
17 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
18 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
19 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
20 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
21 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
22 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
23 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
24 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
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.
