उत्पत्ति 45
1 तब यूसुफ उन सब के साम्हने, जो उसके आस पास खड़े थे, अपने को और रोक न सका; और पुकार के कहा, मेरे आस पास से सब लोगों को बाहर कर दो। भाइयों के साम्हने अपने को प्रगट करने के समय यूसुफ के संग और कोई न रहा।
2 तब वह चिल्ला चिल्लाकर रोने लगा: और मिस्रियों ने सुना, और फिरौन के घर के लोगों को भी इसका समाचार मिला।
3 तब यूसुफ अपने भाइयों से कहने लगा, मैं यूसुफ हूं, क्या मेरा पिता अब तब जीवित है? इसका उत्तर उसके भाई न दे सके; क्योंकि वे उसके साम्हने घबरा गए थे।
4 फिर यूसुफ ने अपने भाइयों से कहा, मेरे निकट आओ। यह सुनकर वे निकट गए। फिर उसने कहा, मैं तुम्हारा भाई यूसुफ हूं, जिस को तुम ने मिस्र आनेहारों के हाथ बेच डाला था।
5 अब तुम लोग मत पछताओ, और तुम ने जो मुझे यहां बेच डाला, इस से उदास मत हो; क्योंकि परमेश्वर ने तुम्हारे प्राणों को बचाने के लिये मुझे आगे से भेज दिया है।
6 क्योंकि अब दो वर्ष से इस देश में अकाल है; और अब पांच वर्ष और ऐसे ही होंगे, कि उन में न तो हल चलेगा और न अन्न काटा जाएगा।
7 सो परमेश्वर ने मुझे तुम्हारे आगे इसी लिये भेजा, कि तुम पृथ्वी पर जीवित रहो, और तुम्हारे प्राणों के बचने से तुम्हारा वंश बढ़े।
8 इस रीति अब मुझ को यहां पर भेजने वाले तुम नहीं, परमेश्वर ही ठहरा: और उसी ने मुझे फिरौन का पिता सा, और उसके सारे घर का स्वामी, और सारे मिस्र देश का प्रभु ठहरा दिया है।
9 सो शीघ्र मेरे पिता के पास जा कर कहो, तेरा पुत्र यूसुफ इस प्रकार कहता है, कि परमेश्वर ने मुझे सारे मिस्र का स्वामी ठहराया है; इसलिये तू मेरे पास बिना विलम्ब किए चला आ।
10 और तेरा निवास गोशेन देश में होगा, और तू, बेटे, पोतों, भेड़-बकरियों, गाय-बैलों, और अपने सब कुछ समेत मेरे निकट रहेगा।
11 और अकाल के जो पांच वर्ष और होंगे, उन में मैं वहीं तेरा पालन पोषण करूंगा; ऐसा न हो कि तू, और तेरा घराना, वरन जितने तेरे हैं, सो भूखों मरें।
12 और तुम अपनी आंखों से देखते हो, और मेरा भाई बिन्यामीन भी अपनी आंखों से देखता है, कि जो हम से बातें कर रहा है सो यूसुफ है।
13 और तुम मेरे सब वैभव का, जो मिस्र में है और जो कुछ तुम ने देखा है, उस सब को मेरे पिता से वर्णन करना; और तुरन्त मेरे पिता को यहां ले आना।
14 और वह अपने भाई बिन्यामीन के गले से लिपट कर रोया; और बिन्यामीन भी उसके गले से लिपट कर रोया।
15 तब वह अपने सब भाइयों को चूम कर उन से मिल कर रोया: और इसके पश्चात उसके भाई उससे बातें करने लगे॥
16 इस बात की चर्चा, कि यूसुफ के भाई आए हैं, फिरौन के भवन तब पंहुच गई, और इस से फिरौन और उसके कर्मचारी प्रसन्न हुए।
17 सो फिरौन ने यूसुफ से कहा, अपने भाइयों से कह, कि एक काम करो, अपने पशुओं को लादकर कनान देश में चले जाओ।
18 और अपने पिता और अपने अपने घर के लोगों को ले कर मेरे पास आओ; और मिस्र देश में जो कुछ अच्छे से अच्छा है वह मैं तुम्हें दूंगा, और तुम्हें देश के उत्तम से उत्तम पदार्थ खाने को मिलेंगे।
19 और तुझे आज्ञा मिली है, तुम एक काम करो, कि मिस्र देश से अपने बालबच्चों और स्त्रियों के लिये गाडियां ले जाओ, और अपने पिता को ले आओ।
20 और अपनी सामग्री का मोह न करना; क्योंकि सारे मिस्र देश में जो कुछ अच्छे से अच्छा है सो तुम्हारा है।
21 और इस्राएल के पुत्रों ने वैसा ही किया। और यूसुफ ने फिरौन की मान के उन्हें गाडियां दी, और मार्ग के लिये सीधा भी दिया।
22 उन में से एक एक जन को तो उसने एक एक जोड़ा वस्त्र भी दिया; और बिन्यामीन को तीन सौ रूपे के टुकड़े और पांच जोड़े वस्त्र दिए।
23 और अपने पिता के पास उसने जो भेजा वह यह है, अर्थात मिस्र की अच्छी वस्तुओं से लदे हुए दस गदहे, और अन्न और रोटी और उसके पिता के मार्ग के लिये भोजनवस्तु से लदी हुई दस गदहियां।
24 और उसने अपने भाइयों को विदा किया, और वे चल दिए; और उसने उन से कहा, मार्ग में कहीं झगड़ा न करना।
25 मिस्र से चलकर वे कनान देश में अपने पिता याकूब के पास पहुंचे।
26 और उससे यह वर्णन किया, कि यूसुफ अब तक जीवित है, और सारे मिस्र देश पर प्रभुता वही करता है। पर उसने उनकी प्रतीति न की, और वह अपने आपे में न रहा।
27 तब उन्होंने अपने पिता याकूब से यूसुफ की सारी बातें, जो उसने उन से कहीं थी, कह दीं; जब उसने उन गाडिय़ों को देखा, जो यूसुफ ने उसके ले आने के लिये भेजीं थीं, तब उसका चित्त स्थिर हो गया।
28 और इस्राएल ने कहा, बस, मेरा पुत्र यूसुफ अब तक जीवित है: मैं अपनी मृत्यु से पहिले जा कर उसको देखूंगा॥
1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
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.
