యెషయా గ్రంథము 34
1 రాష్ట్రములారా, నాయొద్దకు వచ్చి వినుడి జనములారా, చెవి యొగ్గి ఆలకించుడి భూమియు దాని సంపూర్ణతయు లోకమును దానిలో పుట్టినదంతయు వినును గాక.
2 యెహోవా కోపము సమస్త జనములమీదికి వచ్చు చున్నది వారి సర్వ సైన్యములమీద ఆయన క్రోధము వచ్చు చున్నది ఆయన వారిని శపించి వధకు అప్పగించెను.
3 వారిలో చంపబడినవారు బయట వేయబడెదరు వారి శవములు కంపుకొట్టును వారి రక్తమువలన కొండలు కరగిపోవును.
4 ఆకాశ సైన్యమంతయు క్షీణించును కాగితపు చుట్టవలె ఆకాశవైశాల్యములు చుట్టబడును. ద్రాక్షావల్లినుండి ఆకు వాడి రాలునట్లు అంజూరపుచెట్టునుండి వాడినది రాలునట్లు వాటి సైన్యమంతయు రాలిపోవును.
5 నిజముగా ఆకాశమందు నా ఖడ్గము మత్తిల్లును ఎదోముమీద తీర్పుతీర్చుటకు నేను శపించిన జనముమీద తీర్పుతీర్చుటకు అది దిగును
6 యెహోవా ఖడ్గము రక్తమయమగును అది క్రొవ్వుచేత కప్పబడును గొఱ్ఱపిల్లలయొక్కయు మేకలయొక్కయు రక్తము చేతను పొట్లేళ్ల మూత్రగ్రంథులమీది క్రొవ్వుచేతను కప్ప బడును ఏలయనగా బొస్రాలో యెహోవా బలి జరిగించును ఎదోము దేశములో ఆయన మహా సంహారము చేయును.
7 వాటితోకూడ గురుపోతులును వృషభములును కోడె లును దిగిపోవుచున్నవి ఎదోమీయుల భూమి రక్తముతో నానుచున్నది వారి మన్ను క్రొవ్వుతో బలిసియున్నది.
8 అది యెహోవా ప్రతిదండనచేయు దినము సీయోను వ్యాజ్యెమునుగూర్చిన ప్రతికార సంవత్సరము.
9 ఎదోము కాలువలు కీలగును దాని మన్ను గంధకముగా మార్చబడును దాని భూమి దహించు గంధకముగా ఉండును.
10 అది రేయింబగళ్లు ఆరక యుండును దాని పొగ నిత్యము లేచును అది తరతరములు పాడుగా నుండును ఎన్నడును ఎవడును దానిలో బడి దాటడు
11 గూడబాతులును ఏదుపందులును దాని ఆక్రమించు కొనును గుడ్లగూబయు కాకియు దానిలో నివసించును ఆయన తారుమారు అను కొలనూలును చాచును శూన్యమను గుండును పట్టును.
12 రాజ్యము ప్రకటించుటకు వారి ప్రధానులు అక్కడ లేకపోవుదురు దాని అధిపతులందరు గతమైపోయిరి.
13 ఎదోము నగరులలో ముళ్లచెట్లు పెరుగును దాని దుర్గములలో దురదగొండ్లును గచ్చలును పుట్టును అది అడవికుక్కలకు నివాసస్థలముగాను నిప్పుకోళ్లకు సాలగాను ఉండును
14 అడవిపిల్లులును నక్కలును అచ్చట కలిసికొనును అచ్చట అడవిమేక తనతోటి జంతువును కనుగొనును అచ్చట చువ్వపిట్ట దిగి విశ్రమస్థలము చూచుకొనును
15 చిత్తగూబ గూడు కట్టుకొనును అచ్చట గుడ్లు పెట్టి పొదిగి నీడలో వాటిని కూర్చును అచ్చటనే తెల్లగద్దలు తమ జాతిపక్షులతో కూడు కొనును.
16 యెహోవా గ్రంథమును పరిశీలించి చదువుకొనుడి ఆ జంతువులలో ఏదియు లేక యుండదు దేని జతపక్షి దానియొద్ద ఉండక మానదు నా నోటనుండి వచ్చిన ఆజ్ఞ యిదే ఆయన నోటి ఊపిరి వాటిని పోగుచేయును.
17 అవి రావలెనని ఆయన చీట్లువేసెను ఆయన కొలనూలు చేత పట్టుకొని వాటికి ఆ దేశమును పంచిపెట్టును. అవి నిత్యము దాని ఆక్రమించుకొనును యుగయుగములు దానిలో నివసించును.
1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2 For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8 For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
16 And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
