Job 42
1 అప్పుడు యోబు యెహోవాతో ఈలాగు ప్రత్యు త్తరమిచ్చెను
2 నీవు సమస్తక్రియలను చేయగలవనియునీవు ఉద్దేశించినది ఏదియు నిష్ఫలము కానేరదనియునేనిప్పుడు తెలిసికొంటిని.
3 జ్ఞానములేని మాటలచేత ఆలోచనను నిరర్థకముచేయు వీడెవడు? ఆలాగున వివేచనలేనివాడనైన నేను ఏమియు నెరుగక నా బుద్ధికి మించిన సంగతులను గూర్చి మాటలాడితిని.
4 నేను మాటలాడ గోరుచున్నాను దయచేసి నా మాట ఆలకింపుము ఒక సంగతి నిన్ను అడిగెదను దానిని నాకు తెలియ జెప్పుము.
5 వినికిడిచేత నిన్ను గూర్చిన వార్త నేను వింటిని అయితే ఇప్పుడు నేను కన్నులార నిన్ను చూచు చున్నాను.
6 కావున నన్ను నేను అసహ్యించుకొని, ధూళిలోను బూడిదెలోను పడి పశ్చాత్తాపపడుచున్నాను.
7 యెహోవా యోబుతో ఆ మాటలు పలికిన తరువాత ఆయన తేమానీయుడైన ఎలీఫజుతో ఈలాగు సెల విచ్చెను నా సేవకుడైన యోబు పలికినట్లు మీరు నన్ను గూర్చి యుక్తమైనది పలుకలేదు గనుకనా కోపము నీమీదను నీ ఇద్దరు స్నేహితులమీదనుమండుచున్నది
8 కాబట్టి యేడు ఎడ్లను ఏడు పొట్టేళ్లను మీరు తీసికొని, నా సేవకుడైన యోబునొద్దకు పోయి మీ నిమిత్తము దహనబలి అర్పింపవలెను. అప్పుడు నా సేవకుడైనయోబు మీ నిమిత్తము ప్రార్థనచేయును. మీ అవివేకమునుబట్టి మిమ్మును శిక్షింపక యుండునట్లు నేను అతనిని మాత్రము అంగీకరించెదను; ఏలయనగా నా సేవకుడైన యోబు పలికినట్లు మీరు నన్నుగూర్చి యుక్తమైనది పలుక లేదు.
9 తేమానీయుడైన ఎలీఫజును, షూహీయుడైన బిల్దదును, నయమాతీయుడైన జోఫరును పోయి, యెహోవా తమకు ఆజ్ఞాపించినట్లు చేయగా యెహోవా వారిపక్షమున యోబును అంగీకరించెను.
10 మరియు యోబు తన స్నేహితుల నిమిత్తము ప్రార్థన చేసినప్పుడు యెహోవా అతని క్షేమస్థితిని మరల అతనికి దయచేసెను. మరియు యోబునకు పూర్వము కలిగిన దానికంటె రెండంతలు అధికముగా యెహోవా అతనికి దయచేసెను.
11 అప్పుడు అతని సహోదరులందరును అతని అక్క చెల్లెండ్రందరును అంతకుముందు అతనికి పరిచయులైన వారును వచ్చి, అతనితోకూడ అతని యింట అన్నపానములు పుచ్చుకొని, యెహోవా అతనిమీదికి రప్పించిన సమస్తబాధనుగూర్చి యెంతలేసి దుఃఖములు పొందితివని అతనికొరకు దుఃఖించుచు అతని నోదార్చిరి. ఇదియు గాక ఒక్కొక్కడు ఒక వరహాను ఒక్కొక్కడు బంగారు ఉంగరమును అతనికి తెచ్చి ఇచ్చెను.
12 యెహోవా యోబును మొదట ఆశీర్వదించినంతకంటె మరి అధికముగా ఆశీర్వదించెను. అతనికి పదునాలుగువేల గొఱ్ఱలును ఆరువేల ఒంటెలును వెయ్యిజతల యెడ్లును వెయ్యి ఆడుగాడిదలును కలిగెను.
13 మరియు అతనికి ఏడుగురు కుమారులును ముగ్గురు కుమార్తెలును కలిగిరి.
14 అతడు పెద్దదానికి యెమీమా అనియు రెండవదానికి కెజీయా అనియు మూడవదానికి కెరెంహప్పుకు అనియు పేళ్లు పెట్టెను.
15 ఆ దేశమందంతటను యోబు కుమార్తెలంత సౌందర్య వతులు కనబడలేదు. వారి తండ్రి వారి సహోదరులతో పాటు వారికి స్వాస్థ్యములనిచ్చెను.
16 అటుతరువాత యోబు నూట నలువది సంవత్సరములు బ్రదికి, తన కుమారులను కుమారుల కుమారులను నాలుగు తరములవరకు చూచెను.
17 పిమ్మట యోబు కాలము నిండిన వృద్ధుడై మృతినొందెను.
1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
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.
