ಆದಿಕಾಂಡ 4
1 ಆದಾಮನು ತನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯಾದ ಹವ್ವಳನ್ನು ಕೂಡಿದನು. ಆಗ ಆಕೆಯು ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾಗಿ ಕಾಯಿನನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತು--ನಾನು ಕರ್ತ ನಿಂದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯನನ್ನು ಪಡೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಅಂದಳು.
2 ತರುವಾಯ ಆಕೆಯು ಅವನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಹೇಬೆಲನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು. ಹೇಬೆಲನು ಕುರಿ ಕಾಯುವವನಾ ದನು, ಕಾಯಿನನು ವ್ಯವಸಾಯಮಾಡುವವನಾದನು.
3 ಕಾಲಾಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಭವಿಸಿದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ, ಕಾಯಿ ನನು ಹೊಲದ ಫಲವನ್ನು ಕರ್ತನಿಗೆ ಕಾಣಿಕೆಯಾಗಿ ತಂದನು.
4 ಹೇಬೆಲನು ಸಹ ತನ್ನ ಮಂದೆಯಿಂದ ಕೊಬ್ಬಿದ ಚೊಚ್ಚಲಾದವುಗಳನ್ನು ತಂದನು. ಆಗ ಕರ್ತನು ಹೇಬೆಲನನ್ನೂ ಅವನ ಕಾಣಿಕೆಯನ್ನೂ ಗೌರವಿಸಿದನು.
5 ಆದರೆ ಕಾಯಿನನನ್ನೂ ಅವನ ಕಾಣಿಕೆಯನ್ನೂ ಆತನು ಗೌರವಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆಗ ಕಾಯಿ ನನು ಬಹು ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡನು, ಅವನ ಮುಖವು ಕಳೆಗುಂದಿತು.
6 ಆಗ ಕರ್ತನು ಕಾಯಿನನಿಗೆ--ಯಾಕೆ ಕೋಪಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದೀ? ಯಾಕೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಮುಖವು ಕಳೆಗುಂದಿತು?
7 ನೀನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಅಂಗೀಕರಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವದಿಲ್ಲವೇ? ನೀನು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದನ್ನು ಮಾಡದೆ ಹೋದರೆ ಪಾಪವು ಬಾಗಲಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಂಚಿ ಕೊಂಡಿರುವದು; ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಆಶೆ ಇರುವದು, ನೀನು ಅದನ್ನು ಆಳಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
8 ಆಗ ಕಾಯಿನನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಹೇಬೆಲನ ಸಂಗಡ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದನು; ತರುವಾಯ ಆದದ್ದೇ ನಂದರೆ, ಅವರು ಹೊಲದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾಗ ಕಾಯಿನನು ತನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನಾದ ಹೇಬೆಲನಿಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾಗಿ ಎದ್ದು ಅವನನ್ನು ಕೊಂದುಹಾಕಿದನು.
9 ಆಗ ಕರ್ತನು ಕಾಯಿನನಿಗೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರ ನಾದ ಹೇಬೆಲನು ಎಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂದನು. ಅದಕ್ಕವನು-- ನಾನು ಅರಿಯೆನು; ನನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನನ್ನು ನಾನು ಕಾಯುವವನೋ ಅಂದನು.
10 ಆತನು--ನೀನು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೇನು? ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನ ರಕ್ತದ ಸ್ವರವು ಭೂಮಿಯಿಂದ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕೂಗುತ್ತದೆ.
11 ಆದದರಿಂದ ಈಗ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈಯಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರನ ರಕ್ತವನ್ನು ಕುಡಿಯುವದಕ್ಕೆ ತನ್ನ ಬಾಯನ್ನು ತೆರೆದ ಭೂಮಿಯ ದೆಸೆಯಿಂದ ನೀನು ಶಪಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವನಾದಿ.
12 ನೀನು ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ವ್ಯವಸಾಯಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಇನ್ನು ಮೇಲೆ ಅದು ತನ್ನ ಸಾರವನ್ನು ಕೊಡುವದಿಲ್ಲ. ನೀನು ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಲೆದಾಡುವವನಾಗಿಯೂ ತಿರುಗಾಡು ವವನಾಗಿಯೂ ಇರುವಿ ಅಂದನು.
13 ಆಗ ಕಾಯಿನನು ಕರ್ತನಿಗೆ--ನನ್ನ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಯು ನಾನು ತಾಳಲಾರದಷ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡದಾಗಿದೆ.
14 ಇಗೋ, ನೀನು ಈ ದಿನ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಈ ಸ್ಥಳದಿಂದ ಹೊರಡಿಸಿದ್ದೀ, ನಿನ್ನ ಮುಖಕ್ಕೆ ನಾನು ಮರೆಯಾಗಿರಬೇಕು; ಭೂಮಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಲೆಯು ವವನೂ ತಿರುಗಾಡುವವನೂ ಆಗಿರಬೇಕು; ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಂಡವರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಕೊಲ್ಲುವರು ಅಂದನು.
15 ಆದದರಿಂದ ಕರ್ತನು ಅವನಿಗೆ--ಕಾಯಿನನನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲುವವನು ಯಾವನೋ ಅವನು ಏಳರಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರತಿದಂಡನೆ ಹೊಂದುವನು ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು. ಕಾಯಿನನನ್ನು ಕಂಡವರು ಕೊಲ್ಲದ ಹಾಗೆ ಕರ್ತನು ಅವನ ಮೇಲೆ ಒಂದು ಗುರುತು ಇಟ್ಟನು.
16 ಕಾಯಿನನು ಕರ್ತನ ಸನ್ನಿಧಿಯಿಂದ ಹೊರಟು ಏದೆನಿನ ಪೂರ್ವದಿಕ್ಕಿನಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ನೋದು ಎಂಬ ದೇಶ ದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಿದನು.
17 ಕಾಯಿನನು ತನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯನ್ನು ಕೂಡಿದನು; ಆಕೆಯು ಗರ್ಭಿಣಿಯಾಗಿ ಹನೋಕನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು. ಆಗ ಕಾಯಿನನು ಒಂದು ಪಟ್ಟಣವನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿ ತನ್ನ ಮಗನಾದ ಹನೋಕನ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಆ ಪಟ್ಟಣಕ್ಕೆ ಇಟ್ಟನು.
18 ಹನೋಕನಿಂದ ಈರಾದನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದನು; ಈರಾದನಿಂದ ಮೆಹೂಯಾಯೇಲನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದನು; ಮೆಹೂಯಾಯೇಲನಿಂದ ಮೆತೂಷಾ ಯೇಲನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದನು; ಮೆತೂಷಾಯೇಲನಿಂದ ಲೆಮೆಕನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದನು.
19 ಲೆಮೆಕನು ಇಬ್ಬರು ಹೆಂಡತಿಯರನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡನು. ಒಬ್ಬಳ ಹೆಸರು ಆದಾ, ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬಳ ಹೆಸರು ಚಿಲ್ಲಾ.
20 ಆದಾ ಯಾಬಾಲನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು; ಇವನು ಗುಡಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುವವನಾಗಿ ದನಕರು ಗಳಿದ್ದವರಿಗೆ ತಂದೆಯಾದನು.
21 ಅವನ ಸಹೋದರನ ಹೆಸರು ಯೂಬಾಲನು; ಇವನು ಕಿನ್ನರಿಯನ್ನೂ ಕೊಳಲನ್ನೂ ಬಾರಿಸುವವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೆ ತಂದೆಯಾದನು.
22 ಚಿಲ್ಲಾ ಸಹ ತೂಬಲ್‌ಕಾಯಿನನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತಳು; ಅವನು ಹಿತ್ತಾಳೆ ಕಬ್ಬಿಣ ಕೆಲಸದ ಕಲೆಯಿದ್ದವರೆಲ್ಲರಿಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಕೊಡುವವನಾಗಿದ್ದನು. ತೂಬಲ್‌ಕಾಯಿನನ ಸಹೋದರಿ ನಯಮಾ ಎಂಬವಳು.
23 ಲೆಮೆಕನು ತನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯರಾದ ಆದಾ ಚಿಲ್ಲಾ ಎಂಬವರಿಗೆ--ಲೆಮೆಕನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯರೇ, ನನ್ನ ಮಾತನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿರಿ; ನನ್ನ ಮಾತುಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಿವಿಗೊಡಿರಿ; ನನಗೆ ಗಾಯಮಾಡಿದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮನುಷ್ಯ ನನ್ನು, ನನಗೆ ಹೊಡೆದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಯೌವನಸ್ಥನನ್ನು ಕೊಂದಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
24 ಕಾಯಿನನಿಗಾಗಿ ಏಳರಷ್ಟು ಪ್ರತಿದಂಡನೆಯಾದರೆ ಲೆಮೆಕನಿಗಾಗಿ ಏಳೆಪ್ಪತ್ತು ಸಾರಿ ಪ್ರತಿದಂಡನೆ ನಿಜವಾ ಗಿಯೂ ಆಗುವದು.
25 ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಆದಾಮನು ತಿರಿಗಿ ತನ್ನ ಹೆಂಡತಿಯನ್ನು ಕೂಡಿದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವಳು ಮಗನನ್ನು ಹೆತ್ತು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಸೇತನೆಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟಳು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ--ಕಾಯಿನನು ಕೊಂದುಹಾಕಿದ ಹೇಬೆಲನಿಗೆ ಬದಲಾಗಿ ದೇವರು ನನಗೆ ಬೇರೆ ಸಂತತಿಯನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟನೆಂದು ಆಕೆಯು ಹೇಳಿದಳು.
26 ಸೇತನಿಗೂ ಒಬ್ಬ ಮಗನು ಹುಟ್ಟಿದನು; ಅವನಿಗೆ ಎನೋಷ್‌ ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಟ್ಟನು; ತರುವಾಯ ಮನುಷ್ಯರು ಕರ್ತನ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಕರೆದು ಆರಾಧಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದರು.
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
18 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
21 And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.
Jeremiah 20 in Tamil and English
1 ઈમ્મેરનો પુત્ર યાજક પાશહૂર યહોવાના મંદિરના રક્ષકોનો ઉપરી હતો. તેણે યમિર્યાને આવી ભવિષ્યવાણી ભાખતો સાંભળ્યો,
Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2 તેથી તેણે યમિર્યાની ધરપકડ કરી અને તેને કોરડાથી ફટકાર્યો, પછી તેણે તેને મંદિરના બિન્યામીન દરવાજા આગળ સાંકળોથી બાધ્યો.
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord.
3 બીજા દિવસે સવારે પાશહૂરે યમિર્યાને હેડમાંથી છૂટો કર્યો ત્યારે યમિર્યાએ તેને કહ્યું, “યહોવા તને પાશહૂર નહિ કહે, પણ માગોર-મિસ્સાબીબ (સર્વત્ર ત્રાસ) કહેશે.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 કારણ કે યહોવા તારા પર તથા તારા સર્વ મિત્રો પર ભય મોકલશે અને તેઓના શત્રુઓની તરવારોથી તેઓને તું મૃત્યુ પામતાં જોશે. આખો યહૂદિયા હું બાબિલના રાજાને સોંપી દઇશ. તે તેમને કેદ કરીને બાબિલ લઇ જશે અને ત્યાં તરવારથી મારી નાખશે.
For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
5 આ શહેરની સર્વ સંપત્તિ, એના બધા ભંડારો અને કિમતી વસ્તુઓ, યહૂદિયાના રાજાનો બધો ખજાનો હું તેમના શત્રુઓને સોંપી દઇશ, શત્રુઓ લૂંટમાર કરીને એનો કબજો લેશે અને બાબિલ લઇ જવામાં આવશે.
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 તું, પાશહૂર, અને તારું કુટુંબ કેદ પકડાશો, તમને બાબિલ લઇ જવામાં આવશે, અને ત્યાં તમારું મોત થશે અને ત્યાં તમે દટાશો. તું અને તારા બધા મિત્રો, જેમને તેં ખોટી ભવિષ્યવાણી સંભળાવેલી છે.”‘
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 પછી મેં કહ્યું, “હે યહોવા, તમે મને યુકિતપૂર્વક છેતર્યો છે. તમારા સંદેશાઓ આપવા માટે તમે મને દબાણ કર્યુ. કારણ કે મારા કરતાં તમે અતિ બળવાન છો. પરંતુ હવે હું બધા દિવસો હાંસીપાત્ર થયો છું અને સર્વ લોકો મારી મશ્કરી કરે છે.
O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8 કેમ કે જ્યારે જ્યારે હું બોલું છું ત્યારે ત્યારે ઘાટાં પાડીને એક જ વાત કહેવાની છે, ‘હિંસા અને વિનાશ!’ હે યહોવા, તારી વાણી સંભળાવવાને કારણે આખો દિવસ મારે હાંસી અને નામોશી સહન કરવી પડે છે.”
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the Lord was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 હું જો એમ કહું કે, “હવે હું યહોવાને સંભારીશ નહિ, એને નામે બોલું જ નહિ.” તો તારી એ વાણી મારા અંગે અંગમાં ભંડારાયેલી આગની જેમ મારા અંતરમાં ભડભડી ઊઠે છે; અને હું તેને કાબૂમાં રાખવા મથું છું, પણ નથી રાખી શકતો.
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 ચારે બાજુથી હું તેઓની ધમકીઓ ઉચ્ચારાતી સાંભળું છું અને મને ડર લાગે છે, તેઓ કહે છે, “આપણે ફરિયાદ કરીશું. જેઓ મારા મિત્રો હતા તેઓ સાવધાનીથી મને નિહાળે છે કે, ક્યારે ભયંકર ભૂલ કરી બેસું. તે પોતે જ ફસાઇ જશે અને ત્યારે આપણે તેના પર આપણું વૈર વાળીશું. તેઓ આ પ્રમાણે કહે છે.”
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 પરંતુ મહાન યોદ્ધાની જેમ યહોવા મારી પડખે ઊભા છે. તે પરાક્રમી તથા ભયાવહ છે. મારા જુલમગારો ઠોકર ખાશે, તેઓ નહિ ફાવે, તેઓ નિષ્ફળ જતાં ભારે ફજેત થશે; તેઓ બધી રીતે અપમાનિત થશે અને સદાને માટે તેઓ પર કલંક લાગશે.
But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 હે સૈન્યોના દેવ યહોવા, તમે સતનું પારખું કરો છો, મારા મનનો અને હૃદયનો તાગ લો છો; અને હું ઇચ્છું છું કે હું તમને એમના પર બદલો વાળતા જોવા પામુંં, કારણ કે મેં મારો દાવો ફકત તમને સોંપ્યો છે.
But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
13 યહોવાના ગીત ગાઓ, એમનાં ગુણગાન કરો. કારણ, તેણે દુષ્ટોના હાથમાંથી દરિદ્રીઓનું જીવન ઉગારી લીધુ છે.
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14 તેમ છતાં મારા જન્મનો દિવસ શાપિત થાઓ!
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 તને પુત્ર થયો છે એવી વધામણી મારા પિતાને આપનાર માણસ શાપિત થાઓ.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 તે માણસના હાલ એ પુરાતન નગરોના જેવા થાવ. જેનો યહોવાએ દયા રાખ્યા વગર નાશ કર્યો છે, ભલે તેને આખો દિવસ રણનાદ સંભળાય; સવારમાં આર્તનાદ અને બપોરે યુદ્ધનાદ સંભળાય,
And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 કારણ કે, તેણે મને ગર્ભમાં જ મારી ન નાખ્યો, તો મારી માતા જ મારી કબર બની હોત, તેનું ઉદર સદા માટે મોટું રહ્યું હોત.
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 હું કષ્ટો અને દુ:ખ સહન કરવા માટે, શરમાળ જીવન જીવવા માટે શું કામ ગર્ભમાંથી બહાર આવ્યો?
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
