मरकुस 15

1 और भोर होते ही तुरन्त महायाजकों, पुरनियों, और शास्त्रियों ने वरन सारी महासभा ने सलाह करके यीशु को बन्धवाया, और उसे ले जाकर पीलातुस के हाथ सौंप दिया।

2 और पीलातुस ने उस से पूछा, क्या तू यहूदियों का राजा है? उस ने उस को उत्तर दिया; कि तू आप ही कह रहा है।

3 और महायाजक उस पर बहुत बातों का दोष लगा रहे थे।

4 पीलातुस ने उस से फिर पूछा, क्या तू कुछ उत्तर नहीं देता, देख ये तुझ पर कितनी बातों का दोष लगाते हैं?

5 यीशु ने फिर कुछ उत्तर नहीं दिया; यहां तक कि पीलातुस को बड़ा आश्चर्य हुआ॥

6 और वह उस पर्व्व में किसी एक बन्धुए को जिसे वे चाहते थे, उन के लिये छोड़ दिया करता था।

7 और बरअब्बा नाम का एक मनुष्य उन बलवाइयों के साथ बन्धुआ था, जिन्हों ने बलवे में हत्या की थी।

8 और भीड़ ऊपर जाकर उस से बिनती करने लगी, कि जैसा तू हमारे लिये करता आया है वैसा ही कर।

9 पीलातुस ने उन को यह उत्तर दिया, क्या तुम चाहते हो, कि मैं तुम्हारे लिये यहूदियों के राजा को छोड़ दूं?

10 क्योंकि वह जानता था, कि महायाजकों ने उसे डाह से पकड़वाया था।

11 परन्तु महायाजकों ने लोगों को उभारा, कि वह बरअब्बा ही को उन के लिये छोड़ दे।

12 यह सून पीलातुस ने उन से फिर पूछा; तो जिसे तुम यहूदियों का राजा कहते हो, उस को मैं क्या करूं? वे फिर चिल्लाए, कि उसे क्रूस पर चढ़ा दे।

13 पीलातुस ने उन से कहा; क्यों, इस ने क्या बुराई की है?

14 परन्तु वे और भी चिल्लाए, कि उसे क्रूस पर चढ़ा दे।

15 तक पीलातुस ने भीड़ को प्रसन्न करने की इच्छा से, बरअब्बा को उन के लिये छोड़ दिया, और यीशु को कोड़े लगवाकर सौंप दिया, कि क्रूस पर चढ़ाया जाए।

16 और सिपाही उसे किले के भीतर आंगन में ले गए जो प्रीटोरियुन कहलाता है, और सारी पलटन को बुला लाए।

17 और उन्होंने उसे बैंजनी वस्त्र पहिनाया और कांटों का मुकुट गूंथकर उसके सिर पर रखा।

18 और यह कहकर उसे नमस्कार करने लगे, कि हे यहूदियों के राजा, नमस्कार!

19 और वे उसके सिर पर सरकण्डे मारते, और उस पर थूकते, और घुटने टेककर उसे प्रणाम करते रहे।

20 और जब वे उसका ठट्ठा कर चुके, तो उस पर से बैंजनी वस्त्र उतारकर उसी के कपड़े पहिनाए; और तब उसे क्रूस पर चढ़ाने के लिये बाहर ले गए।

21 और सिकन्दर और रूफुस का पिता, शमौन नाम एक कुरेनी मनुष्य, जो गांव से आ रहा था उधर से निकला; उन्होंने उसे बेगार में पकड़ा, कि उसका क्रूस उठा ले चले।

22 और वे उसे गुलगुता नाम जगह पर जिस का अर्थ खोपड़ी की जगह है लाए।

23 और उसे मुर्र मिला हुआ दाखरस देने लगे, परन्तु उस ने नहीं लिया।

24 तब उन्होंने उस को क्रूस पर चढ़ाया, और उसके कपड़ों पर चिट्ठियां डालकर, कि किस को क्या मिले, उन्हें बांट लिया।

25 और पहर दिन चढ़ा था, जब उन्होंने उस को क्रूस पर चढ़ाया।

26 और उसका दोषपत्र लिखकर उसके ऊपर लगा दिया गया कि “यहूदियों का राजा”।

27 और उन्होंने उसके साथ दो डाकू, एक उस की दाहिनी और एक उस की बाईं ओर क्रूस पर चढ़ाए।

28 तब धर्मशास्त्र का वह वचन कि वह अपराधियों के संग गिना गया पूरा हुआ।

29 और मार्ग में जाने वाले सिर हिला हिलाकर और यह कहकर उस की निन्दा करते थे, कि वाह! मन्दिर के ढाने वाले, और तीन दिन में बनाने वाले! क्रूस पर से उतर कर अपने आप को बचा ले।

30 इसी रीति से महायाजक भी, शास्त्रियों समेत,

31 आपस में ठट्ठे से कहते थे; कि इस ने औरों को बचाया, और अपने को नहीं बचा सकता।

32 इस्राएल का राजा मसीह अब क्रूस पर से उतर आए कि हम देखकर विश्वास करें: और जो उसके साथ क्रूसों पर चढ़ाए गए थे, वे भी उस की निन्दा करते थे॥

33 और दोपहर होने पर, सारे देश में अन्धियारा छा गया; और तीसरे पहर तक रहा।

34 तीसरे पहर यीशु ने बड़े शब्द से पुकार कर कहा, इलोई, इलोई, लमा शबक्तनी जिस का अर्थ यह है; हे मेरे परमेश्वर, हे मेरे परमेश्वर, तू ने मुझे क्यों छोड़ दिया?

35 जो पास खड़े थे, उन में से कितनों ने यह सुनकर कहा: देखो यह एलिय्याह को पुकारता है।

36 और एक ने दौड़कर इस्पंज को सिरके में डुबोया, और सरकण्डे पर रखकर उसे चुसाया; और कहा, ठहर जाओ, देखें, कि एलिय्याह उसे उतारने कि लिये आता है कि नहीं।

37 तब यीशु ने बड़े शब्द से चिल्लाकर प्राण छोड़ दिये।

38 और मन्दिर का पर्दा ऊपर से नीचे तक फटकर दो टुकड़े हो गया।

39 जो सूबेदार उसके सम्हने खड़ा था, जब उसे यूं चिल्लाकर प्राण छोड़ते हुए देखा, तो उस ने कहा, सचमुच यह मनुष्य, परमेश्वर का पुत्र था।

40 कई स्त्रियां भी दूर से देख रही थीं: उन में मरियम मगदलीनी और छोटे याकूब की और योसेस की माता मरियम और शलोमी थीं।

41 जब वह गलील में था, तो ये उसके पीछे हो लेती थीं और उस की सेवा-टहल किया करती थीं; और और भी बहुत सी स्त्रियां थीं, जो उसके साथ यरूशलेम में आई थीं॥

42 जब संध्या हो गई, तो इसलिये कि तैयारी का दिन था, जो सब्त के एक दिन पहिले होता है।

43 अरिमतिया का रहेनवाला यूसुफ आया, जो प्रतिष्ठित मंत्री और आप भी परमेश्वर के राज्य की बाट जोहता था; वह हियाव करके पीलातुस के पास गया और यीशु की लोथ मांगी।

44 पीलातुस ने आश्चर्य किया, कि वह इतना शीघ्र मर गया; और सूबेदार को बुलाकर पूछा, कि क्या उस को मरे हुए देर हुई?

45 सो जब सूबेदार के द्वारा हाल जान लिया, तो लोथ यूसुफ को दिला दी।

46 तब उस ने एक पतली चादर मोल ली, और लोथ को उतारकर उस चादर में लपेटा, और एक कब्र मे जो चट्टान में खोदी गई थी रखा, और कब्र के द्वार पर एक पत्थर लुढ़का दिया।

47 और मरियम मगदलीनी और योसेस की माता मरियम देख रही थीं, कि वह कहां रखा गया है॥

1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.

3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.

21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,

30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

41 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counseller, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions.

2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,

5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.

6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.

10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.

17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.

21 And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.

27 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.

28 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
