Job 33

1 యోబూ, దయచేసి నా వాదము నాలకించుము నా మాటలన్నియు చెవిని బెట్టుము.

2 ఇదిగో నేను మాటలాడ నారంభించితిని నా నోట నా నాలుక ఆడుచున్నది.

3 నామాటలు నా హృదయ యథార్థతను తెలుపుచున్నవినా పెదవులు జ్ఞానమును యథార్థముగా పలుకును.

4 దేవుని ఆత్మ నన్ను సృజించెను సర్వశక్తునియొక్క శ్వాసము నాకు జీవమిచ్చెను

5 నీ చేతనైనయెడల నాకుత్తరమిమ్ము నా యెదుట నీ వాదము సిద్ధపరచుకొనుము వ్యాజ్యె మాడుము.

6 దేవునియెడల నేనును నీవంటివాడను నేనును జిగటమంటితో చేయబడినవాడనే

7 నావలని భయము నిన్ను బెదరించదు నా చెయ్యి నీమీద బరువుగా నుండదు.

8 నిశ్చయముగా నీ పలుకులు నా చెవినిబడెను నీ మాటల ధ్వని నాకు వినబడెను.

9 ఏమనగానేను నేరములేని పవిత్రుడను మాలిన్యములేని పాపరహితుడను.

10 ఆయన నామీద తప్పులు పట్టించుటకు సమయము వెదకుచున్నాడు నన్ను తనకు పగవానిగా భావించుచున్నాడు.

11 ఆయన నా కాళ్లను బొండలో బిగించుచున్నాడు. నా త్రోవలన్నిటిని కనిపెట్టుచున్నాడని నీ వను చున్నావు.

12 ఈ విషయములో నీవు న్యాయము కనిపెట్టలేదు నేను నీకు ప్రత్యుత్తరము చెప్పెదను.

13 తన క్రియలలో దేనిగూర్చియు ఆయన ప్రత్యుత్తర మియ్యడు దేవుడు నరులశక్తికిమించినవాడు, నీవేల ఆయనతో పోరాడుదువు?

14 దేవుడు ఒక్కమారే పలుకును రెండు మారులు పలుకును అయితే మనుష్యులు అది కనిపెట్టరు

15 మంచముమీద కునుకు సమయమున గాఢనిద్ర పట్టు నప్పుడు కలలో రాత్రి కలుగు స్వప్నములలో

16 నరులు గర్విష్ఠులు కాకుండచేయునట్లు తాము తలచిన కార్యము వారు మానుకొనచేయునట్లు

17 గోతికి పోకుండ వారిని కాపాడునట్లు కత్తివలన నశింపకుండ వారి ప్రాణమును తప్పించునట్లు

18 ఆయన వారి చెవులను తెరవచేయును వారికొరకు ఉపదేశము సిద్ధపరచును.

19 వ్యాధిచేత మంచమెక్కుటవలనను ఒకని యెముకలలో ఎడతెగని నొప్పులు కలుగుట వలనను వాడు శిక్షణము నొందును

20 రొట్టెయు రుచిగల ఆహారమును వానికసహ్యమగును

21 వాని శరీరమాంసము క్షీణించిపోయి వికారమగును బయటికి కనబడకుండిన యెముకలు పైకి పొడుచు కొని వచ్చును

22 వాడు సమాధికి సమీపించును వాని ప్రాణము సంహారకులయొద్దకు సమీపించును.

23 నరులకు యుక్తమైనది ఏదో దానిని వానికి తెలియ జేయుటకువేలాది దూతలలో ఘనుడగు ఒకడు వానికి మధ్యవర్తియై యుండినయెడల

24 దేవుడు వానియందు కరుణ జూపి పాతాళములోనికి దిగి వెళ్లకుండ వానిని విడిపించును ప్రాయశ్చిత్తము నాకు దొరకెనని సెలవిచ్చును.

25 అప్పుడు వాని మాంసము బాలురమాంసముకన్న ఆరో గ్యముగా నుండును. వానికి తన చిన్ననాటిస్థితి తిరిగి కలుగును.

26 వాడు దేవుని బతిమాలుకొనినయెడల ఆయన వానిని కటాక్షించును కావున వాడు ఆయన ముఖము చూచి సంతోషిం చును ఈలాగున నిర్దోషత్వము ఆయన నరునికి దయచేయును.

27 అప్పుడు వాడు మనుష్యులయెదుట సంతోషించుచు ఇట్లని పలుకును యథార్థమైనదానిని వ్యత్యాసపరచి నేను పాపము చేసితిని అయినను దానికి తగిన ప్రతికారము నాకు చేయబడ లేదు

28 కూపములోనికి దిగిపోకుండ నా ప్రాణమును ఆయన విమోచించియున్నాడు నా జీవము వెలుగును చూచుచున్నది.

29 ఆలోచించుము, నరులు సజీవులకుండు వెలుగుచేత వెలిగింపబడునట్లు

30 కూపములోనుండి వారిని మరల రప్పింపవలెనని మానవులకొరకు రెండు సారులు మూడు సారులు ఈ క్రియలన్నిటిని దేవుడు చేయువాడైయున్నాడు.

31 యోబూ, చెవిని బెట్టుము నా మాట ఆలకింపుము మౌనముగా నుండుము నేను మాటలాడెదను.

32 చెప్పవలసిన మాట యేదైన నీకున్నయెడల నాతో ప్రత్యుత్తరము చెప్పుము మాటలాడుము, నీవు నీతిమంతుడవని స్థాపింప గోరు చున్నాను.

33 మాట యేమియు లేనియెడల నీవు నా మాట ఆలకింపుము మౌనముగా నుండుము, నేను నీకు జ్ఞానము బోధించె దను.

1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth:

26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s.

17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.

18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?

36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
