Joel 1
1 ಪೆತೂವೇಲನ ಮಗನಾದ ಯೋವೇಲನಿಗೆ ಬಂದ ಕರ್ತನ ವಾಕ್ಯವು.
2 ವೃದ್ಧರೇ, ಕೇಳಿರಿ! ದೇಶನಿವಾಸಿಗಳೇ, ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಕಿವಿಗೊಡಿರಿ; ಇದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ದಿವಸಗಳಲ್ಲಾದರೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ತಂದೆಗಳ ದಿವಸಗಳಲ್ಲಾದರೂ ಉಂಟಾಯಿತೋ?
3 ಇದರ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿರಿ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೂ ಅವರ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ತಲಾಂತರಕ್ಕೂ ತಿಳಿಸಲಿ.
4 ಹುಳವು ಉಳಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಮಿಡತೆ ತಿಂದುಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ; ಮಿಡತೆ ಉಳಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಒಳಗೆ ನಾಶ ಮಾಡುವ ಹುಳವು ತಿಂದುಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ; ಅದು ಉಳಿಸಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಕಂಬಳಿ ಹುಳವು ತಿಂದುಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ.
5 ಅಮಲೇರಿದವರೇ, ನೀವು ಎಚ್ಚತ್ತು ಅಳಿರಿ; ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾರಸ ಕುಡಿಯುವವರೆಲ್ಲರೇ, ಹೊಸ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾ ರಸದ ನಿಮಿತ್ತ ಗೋಳಾಡಿರಿ; ಅದು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಾಯಿ ಯೊಳಗಿಂದ ತೆಗೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದೆ.
6 ನನ್ನ ದೇಶದ ಮೇಲೆ ಒಂದು ಜನಾಂಗವು ಏರಿ ಬಂತು; ಅದು ಬಲವಾದದ್ದೂ ಲೆಕ್ಕವಿಲ್ಲದ್ದೂ; ಅದರ ಹಲ್ಲುಗಳು ಸಿಂಹದ ಹಲ್ಲುಗಳು, ದೊಡ್ಡ ಸಿಂಹದ ದವಡೆ ಹಲ್ಲುಗಳು ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಉಂಟು.
7 ಅದು ನನ್ನ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷೇ ಬಳ್ಳಿಯನ್ನು ಹಾಳುಮಾಡಿ ನನ್ನ ಅಂಜೂರದ ಗಿಡವನ್ನು ಮುರಿದು ಹಾಕಿದೆ; ಅದನ್ನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಸುಲಿದು ಬಿಸಾಡಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ; ಅದರ ಕೊಂಬೆ ಗಳು ಬಿಳುಪಾದವು.
8 ಯೌವನದ ಗಂಡನಿಗೋಸ್ಕರ ಗೋಣೀತಟ್ಟು ಧರಿಸಿದ ಕನ್ಯೆಯ ಹಾಗೆ ಪ್ರಲಾಪಿಸು.
9 ಆಹಾರ ದರ್ಪಣೆಯೂ ಪಾನಾರ್ಪಣೆಯೂ ಕರ್ತನ ಆಲಯದೊಳಗಿಂದ ತೆಗೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿವೆ; ಕರ್ತನ ಸೇವಕ ರಾದ ಯಾಜಕರು ಗೋಳಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
10 ಹೊಲವು ಹಾಳಾಗಿದೆ; ಭೂಮಿಯು ಗೋಳಾಡುತ್ತದೆ; ಧಾನ್ಯವು ಹಾಳಾಗಿದೆ; ಹೊಸ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷಾರಸವು ಒಣಗಿದೆ; ಎಣ್ಣೆ ಬಾಡಿಹೋಗಿದೆ.
11 ಓ ಒಕ್ಕಲಿಗರೇ, ನಾಚಿಕೆಪಡಿರಿ; ಗೋಧಿ, ಜವೆ ಗೋಧಿಗಳ ನಿಮಿತ್ತ ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷೇ ತೋಟದವರೇ, ಗೋಳಾ ಡಿರಿ; ಹೊಲದ ಪೈರು ನಾಶವಾಯಿತು.
12 ದ್ರಾಕ್ಷೇ ಬಳ್ಳಿ ಒಣಗಿಹೋಗಿದೆ; ಅಂಜೂರದಮರ ಬಾಡಿ ಹೋಗಿದೆ; ದಾಳಿಂಬರದಗಿಡವೂ ಖರ್ಜೂರದ ಗಿಡವೂ ಸೇಬು ಗಿಡವೂ ಹೊಲದ ಮರಗಳೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಒಣಗಿಹೋಗಿವೆ; ಸಂತೋಷವು ಮನುಷ್ಯರ ಪುತ್ರರನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಒಣಗಿಹೋಗಿದೆ.
13 ಯಾಜಕರೇ, ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಡುಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡು ಗೋಳಾ ಡಿರಿ; ಬಲಿಪೀಠದ ಸೇವಕರೇ, ಗೋಳಾಡಿರಿ; ನನ್ನ ದೇವರ ಸೇವಕರೇ, ಬಂದು ಗೋಣೀತಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಯೆಲ್ಲಾ ಮಲಗಿರಿ, ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಆಹಾರದರ್ಪಣೆಯೂ ಪಾನ ದರ್ಪಣೆಯೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೇವರ ಆಲಯದಿಂದ ಹಿಂತೆಗೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿವೆ.
14 ಉಪವಾಸವನ್ನು ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ಮಾಡಿರಿ; ಪವಿತ್ರ ಸಂಘವನ್ನು ಕರೆಯಿರಿ; ಹಿರಿಯ ರನ್ನೂ ದೇಶದ ನಿವಾಸಿಗಳೆಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ನಿಮ್ಮ ದೇವರಾದ ಕರ್ತನ ಆಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡಿಸಿ ಕರ್ತನಿಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿ ಡಿರಿ.
15 ಆ ದಿನಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಅಯ್ಯೋ, ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಕರ್ತನ ದಿನವು ಸವಿಾಪವಾಗಿದೆ; ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತನ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ನಾಶದಂತೆ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ.
16 ನಮ್ಮ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳ ಮುಂದೆ ಆಹಾರವೂ ನಮ್ಮ ದೇವರ ಆಲಯದಿಂದ ಸಂತೋ ಷವೂ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸವೂ ತೆಗೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿವೆಯಲ್ಲವೋ?
17 ಬೀಜವು ಅವರ ಹೆಂಟೆಗಳ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಕೆಟ್ಟುಹೋಗಿದೆ; ಉಗ್ರಾಣಗಳು ನಾಶವಾಗಿವೆ; ಕಣಜಗಳು ಕೆಡವಲ್ಪ ಟ್ಟಿವೆ; ಧಾನ್ಯವು ಒಣಗಿದೆ.
18 ಪಶುಗಳು ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಮುಲುಗುತ್ತವೆ; ದನದ ಹಿಂಡುಗಳು ಕಳವಳಗೊಂಡಿವೆ; ಅವಕ್ಕೆ ಮೇವು ಇಲ್ಲ; ಕುರಿಮಂದೆಗಳು ಸಹ ನಾಶ ವಾಗುತ್ತವೆ.
19 ಓ ಕರ್ತನೇ, ನಿನಗೆ ನಾನು ಮೊರೆಯಿಡುತ್ತೇನೆ; ಬೆಂಕಿಯು ಅಡವಿಯ ಮೇವಿನ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳನ್ನು ನುಂಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ; ಜ್ವಾಲೆಯು ಅಡವಿಯ ಮರಗಳನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ಸುಟ್ಟುಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ.
20 ಅಡವಿಯ ಮೃಗಗಳು ಸಹ ನಿನ್ನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಹೂಂಕರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ; ನೀರಿನ ಹೊಳೆಗಳು ಬತ್ತಿ ಹೋಗಿವೆ; ಬೆಂಕಿಯು ಅಡವಿಯ ಮೇವಿನ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳನ್ನು ದಹಿಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ.
1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord’s ministers, mourn.
10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
19 O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
