John 11
1 मरियम और उस की बहिन मारथा के गांव बैतनिय्याह का लाजर नाम एक मनुष्य बीमार था।
2 यह वही मरियम थी जिस ने प्रभु पर इत्र डालकर उसके पांवों को अपने बालों से पोंछा था, इसी का भाई लाजर बीमार था।
3 सो उस की बहिनों ने उसे कहला भेजा, कि हे प्रभु, देख, जिस से तू प्रीति रखता है, वह बीमार है।
4 यह सुनकर यीशु ने कहा, यह बीमारी मृत्यु की नहीं, परन्तु परमेश्वर की महिमा के लिये है, कि उसके द्वारा परमेश्वर के पुत्र की महिमा हो।
5 और यीशु मारथा और उस की बहन और लाजर से प्रेम रखता था।
6 सो जब उस ने सुना, कि वह बीमार है, तो जिस स्थान पर वह था, वहां दो दिन और ठहर गया।
7 फिर इस के बाद उस ने चेलों से कहा, कि आओ, हम फिर यहूदिया को चलें।
8 चेलों ने उस से कहा, हे रब्बी, अभी तो यहूदी तुझे पत्थरवाह करना चाहते थे, और क्या तू फिर भी वहीं जाता है?
9 यीशु ने उत्तर दिया, क्या दिन के बारह घंटे नहीं होते यदि कोई दिन को चले, तो ठोकर नहीं खाता है, क्योंकि इस जगत का उजाला देखता है।
10 परन्तु यदि कोई रात को चले, तो ठोकर खाता है, क्योंकि उस में प्रकाश नहीं।
11 उस ने ये बातें कहीं, और इस के बाद उन से कहने लगा, कि हमारा मित्र लाजर सो गया है, परन्तु मैं उसे जगाने जाता हूं।
12 तब चेलों ने उस से कहा, हे प्रभु, यदि वह सो गया है, तो बच जाएगा।
13 यीशु ने तो उस की मृत्यु के विषय में कहा था: परन्तु वे समझे कि उस ने नींद से सो जाने के विषय में कहा।
14 तब यीशु ने उन से साफ कह दिया, कि लाजर मर गया है।
15 और मैं तुम्हारे कारण आनन्दित हूं कि मैं वहां न था जिस से तुम विश्वास करो, परन्तु अब आओ, हम उसके पास चलें।
16 तब थोमा ने जो दिदुमुस कहलाता है, अपने साथ के चेलों से कहा, आओ, हम भी उसके साथ मरने को चलें।
17 सो यीशु को आकर यह मालूम हुआ कि उसे कब्र में रखे चार दिन हो चुके हैं।
18 बैतनिय्याह यरूशलेम के समीप कोई दो मील की दूरी पर था।
19 और बहुत से यहूदी मारथा और मरियम के पास उन के भाई के विषय में शान्ति देने के लिये आए थे।
20 सो मारथा यीशु के आने का समचार सुनकर उस से भेंट करने को गई, परन्तु मरियम घर में बैठी रही।
21 मारथा ने यीशु से कहा, हे प्रभु, यदि तू यहां होता, तो मेरा भाई कदापि न मरता।
22 और अब भी मैं जानती हूं, कि जो कुछ तू परमेश्वर से मांगेगा, परमेश्वर तुझे देगा।
23 यीशु ने उस से कहा, तेरा भाई जी उठेगा।
24 मारथा ने उस से कहा, मैं जानती हूं, कि अन्तिम दिन में पुनरुत्थान के समय वह जी उठेगा।
25 यीशु ने उस से कहा, पुनरुत्थान और जीवन मैं ही हूं, जो कोई मुझ पर विश्वास करता है वह यदि मर भी जाए, तौभी जीएगा।
26 और जो कोई जीवता है, और मुझ पर विश्वास करता है, वह अनन्तकाल तक न मरेगा, क्या तू इस बात पर विश्वास करती है?
27 उस ने उस से कहा, हां हे प्रभु, मैं विश्वास कर चुकी हूं, कि परमेश्वर का पुत्र मसीह जो जगत में आनेवाला था, वह तू ही है।
28 यह कहकर वह चली गई, और अपनी बहिन मरियम को चुपके से बुलाकर कहा, गुरू यहीं है, और तुझे बुलाता है।
29 वह सुनते ही तुरन्त उठकर उसके पास आई।
30 (यीशु अभी गांव में नहीं पहुंचा था, परन्तु उसी स्थान में था जहां मारथा ने उस से भेंट की थी।)
31 तब जो यहूदी उसके साथ घर में थे, और उसे शान्ति दे रहे थे, यह देखकर कि मरियम तुरन्त उठके बाहर गई है और यह समझकर कि वह कब्र पर रोने को जाती है, उसके पीछे हो लिये।
32 जब मरियम वहां पहुंची जहां यीशु था, तो उसे देखते ही उसके पांवों पर गिर के कहा, हे प्रभु, यदि तू यहां होता तो मेरा भाई न मरता।
33 जब यीशु न उस को और उन यहूदियों को जो उसके साथ आए थे रोते हुए देखा, तो आत्मा में बहुत ही उदास हुआ, और घबरा कर कहा, तुम ने उसे कहां रखा है?
34 उन्होंने उस से कहा, हे प्रभु, चलकर देख ले।
35 यीशु के आंसू बहने लगे।
36 तब यहूदी कहने लगे, देखो, वह उस से कैसी प्रीति रखता था।
37 परन्तु उन में से कितनों ने कहा, क्या यह जिस ने अन्धे की आंखें खोली, यह भी न कर सका कि यह मनुष्य न मरता
38 यीशु मन में फिर बहुत ही उदास होकर कब्र पर आया, वह एक गुफा थी, और एक पत्थर उस पर धरा था।
39 यीशु ने कहा; पत्थर को उठाओ: उस मरे हुए की बहिन मारथा उस से कहने लगी, हे प्रभु, उस में से अब तो र्दुगंध आती है क्योंकि उसे मरे चार दिन हो गए।
40 यीशु ने उस से कहा, क्या मैं ने तुझ से न कहा था कि यदि तू विश्वास करेगी, तो परमेश्वर की महिमा को देखेगी।
41 तब उन्होंने उस पत्थर को हटाया, फिर यीशु ने आंखें उठाकर कहा, हे पिता, मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करता हूं कि तू ने मेरी सुन ली है।
42 और मै जानता था, कि तू सदा मेरी सुनता है, परन्तु जो भीड़ आस पास खड़ी है, उन के कारण मैं ने यह कहा, जिस से कि वे विश्वास करें, कि तू ने मुझे भेजा है।
43 यह कहकर उस ने बड़े शब्द से पुकारा, कि हे लाजर, निकल आ।
44 जो मर गया था, वह कफन से हाथ पांव बन्धे हुए निकल आया और उसका मुंह अंगोछे से लिपटा हुआ तें यीशु ने उन से कहा, उसे खोलकर जाने दो॥
45 तब जो यहूदी मरियम के पास आए थे, और उसका यह काम देखा था, उन में से बहुतों ने उस पर विश्वास किया।
46 परन्तु उन में से कितनों ने फरीसियों के पास जाकर यीशु के कामों का समाचार दिया॥
47 इस पर महायाजकों और फरीसियों ने मुख्य सभा के लोगों को इकट्ठा करके कहा, हम करते क्या हैं? यह मनुष्य तो बहुत चिन्ह दिखाता है।
48 यदि हम उसे यों ही छोड़ दे, तो सब उस पर विश्वास ले आएंगे और रोमी आकर हमारी जगह और जाति दोनों पर अधिकार कर लेंगे।
49 तब उन में से काइफा नाम एक व्यक्ति ने जो उस वर्ष का महायाजक था, उन से कहा, तुम कुछ नहीं जानते।
50 और न यह सोचते हो, कि तुम्हारे लिये यह भला है, कि हमारे लोगों के लिये एक मनुष्य मरे, और न यह, कि सारी जाति नाश हो।
51 यह बात उस ने अपनी ओर से न कही, परन्तु उस वर्ष का महायाजक होकर भविष्यद्वणी की, कि यीशु उस जाति के लिये मरेगा।
52 और न केवल उस जाति के लिये, वरन इसलिये भी, कि परमेश्वर की तित्तर बित्तर सन्तानों को एक कर दे।
53 सो उसी दिन से वे उसके मार डालने की सम्मति करने लगे॥
54 इसलिये यीशु उस समय से यहूदियों में प्रगट होकर न फिरा; परन्तु वहां से जंगल के निकट के देश में इफ्राईम नाम, एक नगर को चला गया; और अपने चेलों के साथ वहीं रहने लगा।
55 और यहूदियों का फसह निकट था, और बहुतेरे लोग फसह से पहिले देहात से यरूशलेम को गए कि अपने आप को शुद्ध करें।
56 सो वे यीशु को ढूंढ़ने और मन्दिर में खड़े होकर आपस में कहने लगे, तुम क्या समझते हो
57 क्या वह पर्व में नहीं आएगा? और महायाजकों और फरीसियों ने भी आज्ञा दे रखी थी, कि यदि कोई यह जाने कि यीशु कहां है तो बताए, कि उसे पकड़ लें॥
1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
55 And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
