उत्पत्ति 22
1 इन बातों के पश्चात ऐसा हुआ कि परमेश्वर ने, इब्राहीम से यह कहकर उसकी परीक्षा की, कि हे इब्राहीम: उसने कहा, देख, मैं यहां हूं।
2 उसने कहा, अपने पुत्र को अर्थात अपने एकलौते पुत्र इसहाक को, जिस से तू प्रेम रखता है, संग ले कर मोरिय्याह देश में चला जा, और वहां उसको एक पहाड़ के ऊपर जो मैं तुझे बताऊंगा होमबलि करके चढ़ा।
3 सो इब्राहीम बिहान को तड़के उठा और अपने गदहे पर काठी कसकर अपने दो सेवक, और अपने पुत्र इसहाक को संग लिया, और होमबलि के लिये लकड़ी चीर ली; तब कूच करके उस स्थान की ओर चला, जिसकी चर्चा परमेश्वर ने उससे की थी।
4 तीसरे दिन इब्राहीम ने आंखें उठा कर उस स्थान को दूर से देखा।
5 और उसने अपने सेवकों से कहा गदहे के पास यहीं ठहरे रहो; यह लड़का और मैं वहां तक जा कर, और दण्डवत करके, फिर तुम्हारे पास लौट आऊंगा।
6 सो इब्राहीम ने होमबलि की लकड़ी ले अपने पुत्र इसहाक पर लादी, और आग और छुरी को अपने हाथ में लिया; और वे दोनों एक साथ चल पड़े।
7 इसहाक ने अपने पिता इब्राहीम से कहा, हे मेरे पिता; उसने कहा, हे मेरे पुत्र, क्या बात है उसने कहा, देख, आग और लकड़ी तो हैं; पर होमबलि के लिये भेड़ कहां है?
8 इब्राहीम ने कहा, हे मेरे पुत्र, परमेश्वर होमबलि की भेड़ का उपाय आप ही करेगा।
9 सो वे दोनों संग संग आगे चलते गए। और वे उस स्थान को जिसे परमेश्वर ने उसको बताया था पहुंचे; तब इब्राहीम ने वहां वेदी बनाकर लकड़ी को चुन चुनकर रखा, और अपने पुत्र इसहाक को बान्ध के वेदी पर की लकड़ी के ऊपर रख दिया।
10 और इब्राहीम ने हाथ बढ़ाकर छुरी को ले लिया कि अपने पुत्र को बलि करे।
11 तब यहोवा के दूत ने स्वर्ग से उसको पुकार के कहा, हे इब्राहीम, हे इब्राहीम; उसने कहा, देख, मैं यहां हूं।
12 उसने कहा, उस लड़के पर हाथ मत बढ़ा, और न उससे कुछ कर: क्योंकि तू ने जो मुझ से अपने पुत्र, वरन अपने एकलौते पुत्र को भी, नहीं रख छोड़ा; इस से मैं अब जान गया कि तू परमेश्वर का भय मानता है।
13 तब इब्राहीम ने आंखे उठाई, और क्या देखा, कि उसके पीछे एक मेढ़ा अपने सींगो से एक झाड़ी में बंझा हुआ है: सो इब्राहीम ने जाके उस मेंढ़े को लिया, और अपने पुत्र की सन्ती होमबलि करके चढ़ाया।
14 और इब्राहीम ने उस स्थान का नाम यहोवा यिरे रखा: इसके अनुसार आज तक भी कहा जाता है, कि यहोवा के पहाड़ पर उपाय किया जाएगा।
15 फिर यहोवा के दूत ने दूसरी बार स्वर्ग से इब्राहीम को पुकार के कहा,
16 यहोवा की यह वाणी है, कि मैं अपनी ही यह शपथ खाता हूं, कि तू ने जो यह काम किया है कि अपने पुत्र, वरन अपने एकलौते पुत्र को भी, नहीं रख छोड़ा;
17 इस कारण मैं निश्चय तुझे आशीष दूंगा; और निश्चय तेरे वंश को आकाश के तारागण, और समुद्र के तीर की बालू के किनकों के समान अनगिनित करूंगा, और तेरा वंश अपने शत्रुओं के नगरों का अधिकारी होगा:
18 और पृथ्वी की सारी जातियां अपने को तेरे वंश के कारण धन्य मानेंगी: क्योंकि तू ने मेरी बात मानी है।
19 तब इब्राहीम अपने सेवकों के पास लौट आया, और वे सब बेर्शेबा को संग संग गए; और इब्राहीम बेर्शेबा में रहता रहा॥
20 इन बातों के पश्चात ऐसा हुआ कि इब्राहीम को यह सन्देश मिला, कि मिल्का के तेरे भाई नाहोर से सन्तान उत्पन्न हुए हैं।
21 मिल्का के पुत्र तो ये हुए, अर्थात उसका जेठा ऊस, और ऊस का भाई बूज, और कमूएल, जो अराम का पिता हुआ।
22 फिर केसेद, हज़ो, पिल्दाश, यिद्लाप, और बतूएल।
23 इन आठों को मिल्का इब्राहीम के भाई नाहोर के जन्माए जनी। और बतूएल ने रिबका को उत्पन्न किया।
24 फिर नाहोर के रूमा नाम एक रखेली भी थी; जिस से तेबह, गहम, तहश, और माका, उत्पन्न हुए॥
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
20 And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
21 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
23 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
