యెషయా గ్రంథము 56
1 యెహోవా ఈలాగు సెలవిచ్చుచున్నాడు నా రక్షణ వచ్చుటకు సిద్ధముగా ఉన్నది నా నీతి వెల్లడియగుటకు సిద్ధముగా ఉన్నది. న్యాయవిధిని అనుసరించుడి నీతిని అనుసరించి నడుచుకొనుడి.
2 నేను నియమించిన విశ్రాంతిదినమును అపవిత్రపరచ కుండ దానిని అనుసరించుచు ఏ కీడు చేయకుండ తన చేతిని బిగబట్టువాడు ధన్యుడు ఆ ప్రకారము చేసి దాని రూఢిగా గైకొను నరుడు ధన్యుడు.
3 యెహోవాను హత్తుకొను అన్యుడు నిశ్చయముగా యెహోవా తన జనులలోనుండి నన్ను వెలివేయునని అనుకొనవద్దు. షండుడునేను ఎండిన చెట్టని అనుకొనవద్దు.
4 నేను నియమించిన విశ్రాంతిదినములను ఆచరించుచు నాకిష్టమైనవాటిని కోరుకొనుచు నా నిబంధన నాధారము చేసికొనుచున్న షండులను గూర్చి యెహోవా ఈలాగు సెలవిచ్చుచున్నాడు
5 నా యింటను నా ప్రాకారములలోను ఒక భాగ మును వారికిచ్చెదను కొడుకులు కూతుళ్లు అని యనిపించుకొనుటకంటె శ్రేష్ఠమైన పేరు వారికి పెట్టుచున్నాను కొట్టివేయబడని నిత్యమైన పేరు వారికి పెట్టుచున్నాను
6 విశ్రాంతిదినమును అపవిత్రపరచకుండ ఆచరించుచు నా నిబంధనను ఆధారము చేసికొనుచు యెహోవాకు దాసులై యెహోవా నామమును ప్రేమించుచు ఆయనకు పరిచర్య చేయవలెనని ఆయన పక్షమున చేరు అన్యులను నా పరిశుద్ధ పర్వతమునకు తోడుకొని వచ్చెదను
7 నా ప్రార్థన మందిరములో వారిని ఆనందింపజేసెదను నా బలిపీఠముమీద వారర్పించు దహనబలులును బలు లును నాకు అంగీకారములగును నా మందిరము సమస్తజనులకు ప్రార్థనమందిరమన బడును.
8 ఇశ్రాయేలీయులలో వెలివేయబడినవారిని సమకూర్చు ప్రభువగు యెహోవా వాక్కు ఇదే నేను సమకూర్చిన ఇశ్రాయేలు వారికిపైగా ఇతరు లను కూర్చెదను.
9 పొలములోని సమస్త జంతువులారా, అడవిలోని సమస్త మృగములారా, భక్షించుటకు రండి.
10 వారి కాపరులు గ్రుడ్డివారు వారందరు తెలివిలేనివారు వారందరు మూగకుక్కలు మొరుగలేరు కలవరించుచు పండుకొనువారు నిద్రాసక్తులు.
11 కుక్కలు తిండికి ఆతురపడును, ఎంత తినినను వాటికి తృప్తిలేదు. ఈ కాపరులు అట్టివారే వారు దేనిని వివేచింపజాలరు వారందరు తమకిష్టమైన మార్గమున పోవుదురు ఒకడు తప్పకుండ అందరు స్వప్రయోజనమే విచా రించుకొందురు.
12 వారిట్లందురునేను ద్రాక్షారసము తెప్పించెదను మనము మద్యము నిండారులగునట్లు త్రాగుదము రండి నేడు జరిగినట్టు రేపు మరి లక్షణముగా జరుగును.
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
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.
