የጌታ ቀን
1ወዳጆች ሆይ፤ ይህ አሁን የምጽፍላችሁ ሁለተኛው መልእክት ነው። ሁለቱንም መልእክቶች የጻፍሁላችሁ ቅን ልቦናችሁን እንድታነቃቁ ለማሳሰብ ነው፤ 2ደግሞም ቀድሞ በቅዱሳን ነቢያት የተነገረውን ቃል እንዲሁም በሐዋርያት አማካይነት በጌታችንና በአዳኛችን የተሰጠውን ትእዛዝ እንድታስቡ ነው።
3ከሁሉ አስቀድሞ ይህን ዕወቁ፤ በመጨረሻው ዘመን የራሳቸውን ክፉ ምኞት የሚከተሉ ዘባቾች እየዘበቱ ይመጣሉ። 4እነርሱም፣ “ ‘እመጣለሁ’ ያለው ታዲያ የት አለ? አባቶች ከሞቱበት ከፍጥረት መጀመሪያ አንሥቶ እስካሁን ድረስ ሁሉም ነገር እንዳለ ይኖራል” ይላሉ። 5ነገር ግን እነዚህ ሰዎች ሰማያት ከጥንት ጀምሮ በእግዚአብሔር ቃል ተፈጥረው እንደሚኖሩ፣ መሬትም በውሃ መካከልና በውሃም እንደ ተሠራች ሆን ብለው ይክዳሉ፤ 6በዚያን ጊዜ የነበረው ዓለም በውሃ ተጥለቅልቆ ጠፋ። 7በዚያው ቃል ደግሞ አሁን ያሉት ሰማያትና ምድር፣ ኀጢአተኞች እስከሚጠፉበት እስከ ፍርድ ቀን ድረስ ለእሳት ተጠብቀዋል።
8ወዳጆች ሆይ፤ በጌታ ዘንድ አንድ ቀን እንደ ሺህ ዓመት፣ ሺህ ዓመትም እንደ አንድ ቀን መሆኑን ይህን አንድ ነገር አትርሱ። 9አንዳንድ ሰዎች የዘገየ እንደሚመስላቸው ጌታ የተስፋ ቃሉን ለመፈጸም አይዘገይም፤ ነገር ግን ማንም እንዳይጠፋ ፈልጎ፣ ሁሉ ለንስሓ እንዲበቃ ስለ እናንተ ይታገሣል።
10የጌታ ቀን ግን እንደ ሌባ ይመጣል፤ በዚያች ቀን ሰማያት በታላቅ ድምፅ ያልፋሉ፤ የሰማይም ፍጥረት በእሳት ይጠፋል፤ ምድርና በእርሷም ላይ ያለ ነገር ሁሉ ይቃጠላል።3፥10 በአንዳንድ ቅጅዎች ምድር ወና ትሆናለች ይላል
11እንግዲህ ሁሉም ነገር በዚህ ሁኔታ የሚጠፋ ከሆነ፣ እናንተ እንዴት ዐይነት ሰዎች ልትሆኑ ይገባችኋል? አዎን፣ በቅድስናና በእውነተኛ መንፈሳዊነት ልትኖሩ ይገባችኋል፤ 12ደግሞም የእግዚአብሔርን ቀን እየተጠባበቃችሁ መምጫውን ልታፋጥኑ3፥12 ወይም የእግዚአብሔርን ቀን መምጣት በናፍቆት ስትጠብቁ ይገባል። በዚያን ቀን ሰማያት በእሳት ተቃጥለው ይጠፋሉ፤ የሰማይም ፍጥረት በታላቅ ትኵሳት ይቀልጣል። 13እኛ ግን ጽድቅ የሚኖርበትን አዲስ ሰማይና አዲስ ምድር በተስፋ ቃሉ መሠረት እንጠባበቃለን።
14ስለዚህ ወዳጆች ሆይ፤ እነዚህን ሁሉ ነገሮች የምትጠባበቁ ስለ ሆናችሁ፣ ያለ ነውርና ያለ ነቀፋ ከእርሱ ጋር በሰላም እንድትገኙ ትጉ። 15የጌታችን ትዕግሥት እናንተ እንድትድኑ እንደሆነ አስቡ፤ እንዲሁም ወንድማችን ጳውሎስ እንደ ተሰጠው ጥበብ መጠን ጻፈላችሁ፤ 16እርሱ ስለ እነዚህ ነገሮች በመልእክቶቹ ሁሉ ጽፎአል፤ በመልእክቶቹም ውስጥ በቀላሉ ለመረዳት የሚያዳግቱ ነገሮች አሉ። ዕውቀት የጐደላቸውና ጽናት የሌላቸው ሰዎች ሌሎችን ቅዱሳት መጻሕፍት እንደሚያጣምሙ፣ እነዚህንም ደግሞ ለገዛ ጥፋታቸው ያጣምማሉ።
17እንግዲህ ወዳጆች ሆይ፤ ይህን አስቀድማችሁ ስላወቃችሁ፣ ጸንታችሁ ከቆማችሁበት መሠረት በዐመፀኞች ስሕተት ተስባችሁ እንዳትወድቁ ተጠንቀቁ። 18ነገር ግን በጌታችንና በአዳኛችን በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋና ዕውቀት እደጉ፤ ለእርሱ አሁንም፣ ለዘላለምም ክብር ይሁን፤ አሜን።

ከዮርዳኖስ በስተ ምሥራቅ ርስት ያገኙ ነገዶች ወደ ቤታቸው ተመለሱ
1በዚህ ጊዜ ኢያሱ የሮቤልንና የጋድን ነገዶች፣ እንዲሁም የምናሴን ነገድ እኩሌታ ጠርቶ፣ 2እንዲህ አላቸው፤ “የእግዚአብሔር ባሪያ ሙሴ ያዘዘውን ሁሉ ጠብቃችኋል፤ እኔም ያዘዝኋችሁን በሙሉ ፈጽማችኋል፤ 3ከረጅም ጊዜ ጀምሮ እስከ ዛሬ ድረስ ወንድሞቻችሁን አልተዋችሁም፤ አምላካችሁ እግዚአብሔር የሰጣችሁን ተልእኮ በሚገባ ተወጥታችኋል። 4አሁንም አምላካችሁ እግዚአብሔር በሰጣችሁ ተስፋ መሠረት ወንድሞቻችሁን አሳርፎአቸዋል፤ ስለዚህ የእግዚአብሔር ባሪያ ሙሴ ከዮርዳኖስ ማዶ ርስት አድርጎ በሰጣችሁ ምድር ወዳለው ቤታችሁ ተመለሱ። 5የእግዚአብሔር ባሪያ ሙሴ፣ አምላካችሁን እግዚአብሔርን እንድትወዱ፣ በመንገዱ ሁሉ እንድትሄዱ፣ ትእዛዙን እንድትፈጽሙ፣ እርሱንም አጥብቃችሁ እንድትይዙት እንዲሁም በፍጹም ልባችሁ፣ በፍጹም ነፍሳችሁ እንድታገለግሉት የሰጣችሁን ትእዛዙንና ሕጉን ነቅታችሁ ጠብቁ።”
6ከዚያም ኢያሱ መርቆ አሰናበታቸው፤ እነርሱም ወደ ቤታቸው ተመለሱ። 7ሙሴ ለምናሴ ነገድ እኩሌታ በባሳን ምድር ርስት ሰጥቶአቸው ነበር፤ ለቀረው እኩሌታ ደግሞ ኢያሱ ከዮርዳኖስ በስተ ምዕራብ ከወንድሞቻቸው ጋር ርስት ሰጣቸው። ኢያሱ ወደ ቤታቸው እንዲገቡ ባሰናበታቸው ጊዜ መረቃቸው፤ 8እንዲህም አላቸው፤ “ብዙ ሀብት ይዛችሁ ማለትም አያሌ የከብት መንጋ፣ ብርና ወርቅ፣ ናስና ብረት እንዲሁም ቊጥሩ እጅግ የበዛ ልብስ ይዛችሁ ወደ ቤታችሁ ተመለሱ፤ ከጠላት የተገኘውንም ይህን ምርኮ ከወንድሞቻችሁ ጋር ተካፈሉት” አላቸው።
9ስለዚህ የሮቤልና የጋድ ነገዶች እንዲሁም የምናሴ ነገድ እኩሌታ እስራኤላውያንን ከነዓን ውስጥ ባለችው በሴሎ ትተው፣ በእግዚአብሔር ትእዛዝ በሙሴ አማካይነት ወደ ተቀበሏት ርስታቸው፣ ወደ ገለዓድ ምድር ተመለሱ።
10የሮቤልና የጋድ እንዲሁም የምናሴ ነገድ እኩሌታ በከነዓን ምድር ወዳለችው፣ ዮርዳኖስ አጠገብ ወደምትገኘው ገሊሎት ወደተባለች ስፍራ ሲደርሱ በወንዙ አጠገብ ግዙፍ መሠዊያ ሠሩ። 11የእስራኤላውያን ይዞታ በሆነችው በከነዓናውያን ምድር ወሰን በገሊሎት ላይ መሠዊያ መሥራታቸውን፣ ሌሎቹ እስራኤላውያን በሰሙ ጊዜ፣ 12በእነርሱ ላይ ለመዝመት፣ የእስራኤል ማኅበር ሁሉ በሴሎ ተሰበሰቡ።

1And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory. 2And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.31.2 as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before 3And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, 5And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me. 6And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 7And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. 8If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked. 9Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. 10And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.31.10 rams: or, he goats 11And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 12And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. 13I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. 14And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house? 15Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 16For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
17¶ Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 18And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padan-aram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. 19And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father’s.31.19 images: Heb. teraphim 20And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.31.20 unawares…: Heb. the heart of Laban 21So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead. 22And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. 23And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.31.24 either…: Heb. from good to bad
25¶ Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 26And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword? 27Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?31.27 steal…: Heb. hast stolen me 28And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 29It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 30And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 31And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 32With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. 33And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent. 34Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.31.34 searched: Heb. felt 35And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
36¶ And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? 37Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.31.37 searched: Heb. felt 38This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 39That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night. 40Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 41Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times. 42Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
43¶ And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? 44Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 45And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 46And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 47And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.31.47 Jegar-sahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee31.47 Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb. 48And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 49And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.31.49 Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower 50If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee. 51And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee; 52This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. 53The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac. 54Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.31.54 offered…: or, killed beasts 55And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Yakob Dwane Firi Laban Nkyɛn

사라의 죽음
1사라는 127세까지 살다가
2가나안 땅의 헤브론 곧 기럇 – 아 르바에서 죽었다. 아브라함이 그녀의 죽음을 슬퍼하며 울다가
3그 시체 곁에서 일어나 헷 사람들에게 가서 말하였다.
4“나는 당신들 가운데 살고 있는 나그네이며 이방인입니다. 죽은 내 아내를 묻을 매장지를 나에게 좀 파십시오.”
5그러자 그들이 아브라함에게 대답하였다.
6“당신은 우리 가운데 사는 위대한 지도자입니다. 우리 묘지 중에서 제일 좋은 것을 택하여 당신의 아내를 장사하십시오. 당신이 죽은 아내를 장사하겠다는데 자기 묘지를 아낄 사람이 우리 가운데는 아무도 없습니다.”
7그때 아브라함이 일어나 그들 앞에 허리를 굽히며 말하였다.
8-9“당신들이 기꺼이 이 곳에 내 아내를 장 사하도록 허락해 주신다면 소할의 아들 에브론에게 부탁하여 그의 밭머리에 있는 막벨라 굴을 나에게 팔아 우리 가족의 매장지가 되게 해 주십시오. 물론 충분한 값을 지불해 드리겠습니다.”
10이때 에브론이 성문 집회 장소에서 다른 헷 사람들과 함께 앉아 있다가 그 곳에 모인 사람들이 다 듣는 데서 이렇게 말하였다.
11“제발 그렇게 하지 마시고 내 말을 들으십시오. 내가 내 동족들 앞에서 그 밭과 굴을 당신에게 드릴 테니 당신의 죽은 아내를 거기 장사하십시오.”
12그러나 아브라함은 헷 사람들 앞에 다시 몸을 굽히고
13모든 사람이 듣는 데서 에브론에게 말하였다. “아닙니다. 내가 그 땅 값을 지불하겠습니다. 아무쪼록 그것을 받으시고 죽은 내 아내를 장사할 수 있게 해 주십시오.”
14그러자 에브론은 다시 아브라함에게
15“제발 내 말을 들으십시오. 땅 값은 은 23:15 히 ‘400세겔’4.5킬로그램이지만 나와 당신 사이에 그것이 무슨 말씀입니까? 당신의 아내를 거기에 장사하십시오” 하였다.
16그래서 아브라함은 에브론이 대중 앞에서 말한 대로 은 4.5킬로그램을 달아 에브론에게 주었다.
17-18그래서 마므레 앞 막벨라에 있는 에브 론의 밭과 그 속의 굴과 밭 언저리에 둘러 서 있는 모든 나무들이 그 곳에 모인 모든 헷 사람들 앞에서 다 아브라함의 소유가 되었다.
19그러고서 아브라함은 자기 아내 사라를 가나안 땅의 마므레 앞 막벨라 밭에 있는 굴에 장사하였다.
20이렇게 해서 헷 사람 들은 그 밭과 그 속의 굴을 아브라함에게 매장지로 양도하였다.

አኪያ በኢዮርብዓም ላይ የተናገረው ትንቢት
1በዚያን ጊዜ የኢዮርብዓም ልጅ አብያ ታመመ፤ 2ኢዮርብዓም ሚስቱን እንዲህ አላት፤ “ተነሺ፣ የኢዮርብዓም ሚስት መሆንሽ እንዳይታወቅብሽ ሆነሽ፣ ወደ ሴሎ ሂጂ፤ በዚህ ሕዝብ ላይ እንደምነግሥ የነገረኝ ነቢይ አኪያ እነሆ፤ በዚያ ይገኛል። 3ስትሄጂም ዐሥር እንጀራ፣ ጥቂት ሙልሙል ዳቦ እና አንድ እንስራ ማር ይዘሽ ሂጂ፤ እርሱም በልጁ ላይ የሚደርሰውን ይነግርሻል።” 4ስለዚህ የኢዮርብዓም ሚስት ያላትን አድርጋ በሴሎ ወደሚገኘው ወደ አኪያ ቤት ሄደች።
በዚህ ጊዜ አኪያ ከማርጀቱ የተነሣ ዐይኖቹ ፈዘው ነበር። 5እግዚአብሔር ግን ለአኪያ፣ “እነሆ፤ የኢዮርብዓም ሚስት ስለ ታመመው ልጇ ልትጠይቅህ ሌላ ሴት መስላ ትመጣለችና እንዲህ ብለህ መልሳት” ብሎ ነገረው።
6አኪያም የእግሯን ኮቴ ድምፅ እበሩ ላይ እንደ ሰማ እንዲህ አላት፤ “የኢዮርብዓም ሚስት ሆይ ግቢ፤ ግን ለምንድን ነው ሌላ ሴት መስለሽ ለመታየት የፈለግሽው? ለአንቺ ከባድ ነገር እንድነግርሽ ተልኬአለሁ። 7አሁንም ሂጂና ኢዮርብዓምን የእስራኤል አምላክ እግዚአብሔር የሚለው ይህ ነው ብለሽ ንገሪው፤ ‘ከሕዝቡ መካከል አንሥቼ የሕዝቤ የእስራኤል መሪ አደረግሁህ፤ 8ከዳዊት ቤት መንግሥቱን ቀድጄ ለአንተ ሰጠሁህ፤ አንተ ግን በፊቴ መልካም ነገር በማድረግ ብቻ ትእዛዜን እንደ ጠበቀው፣ በፍጹም ልቡም እንደ ተከተለኝ እንደ ባሪያዬ እንደ ዳዊት አልሆንህም። 9ከአንተ በፊት ከነበሩት ሁሉ ይልቅ አንተ የከፋ ሥራ ሠራህ፤ ለራስህም ከቀለጠ ብረት ሌሎች አማልክትን ሠራህ፤ ቊጣዬን አነሣሣህ፤ ወደ ኋላህም ጣልኸኝ።

12“እንግዲህ አንቺም ወደ ቤትሽ ሂጂ፤ የምትኖሪበትን ከተማ እግርሽ እንደ ረገጠ፣ ልጁ ይሞታል፤ 13እስራኤልም ሁሉ አልቅሰው ይቀብሩታል። የእስራኤል አምላክ እግዚአብሔር ከኢዮርብዓም ቤት ሁሉ መልካም ነገር ያገኘበት እርሱ ብቻ ስለ ሆነ፣ በወግ በማዕረግ የሚቀበር እርሱ ብቻ ነው።

17የኢዮርብዓም ሚስትም ተነሥታ ወደ ቴርሳ ሄደች፤ የቤቱን መድረክ ወዲያው እንደ ተራመደች ልጁ ሞተ፤ 18ከዚያም ቀበሩት፤ እግዚአብሔር በባሪያው በአኪያ አማካይነት እንደ ተናገረ፣ እስራኤል ሁሉ አለቀሱለት።
19የቀረው የኢዮርብዓም ታሪክ፣ ያደረገው ጦርነትና አገዛዙም ሁሉ በእስራኤል ነገሥታት ታሪክ ተጽፎአል። 20እርሱም ሃያ ሁለት ዓመት ነግሦ ከአባቶቹ ጋር አንቀላፋ፤ ልጁ ናዳብም በእግሩ ተተክቶ ነገሠ።
የይሁዳ ንጉሥ ሮብዓም
14፥21፡25-31 ተጓ ምብ – 2ዜና 12፥9-16
21የሰሎሞን ልጅ ሮብዓም በይሁዳ ነገሠ፤ በነገሠም ጊዜ ዕድሜው አርባ አንድ ዓመት ነበር፤ እርሱም እግዚአብሔር ለስሙ መጠሪያ እንድትሆን ከእስራኤል ነገድ ሁሉ በመረጣት በኢየሩሳሌም ዐሥራ ሰባት ዓመት ገዛ። እናቱ ናዕማ የተባለች አሞናዊት ነበረች።
22ይሁዳ በእግዚአብሔር ፊት ክፉ ነገር አደረገ፤ ከአባቶቻቸው ይልቅ እነርሱ በሠሩት ኀጢአት ይበልጥ የቅናት ቊጣውን አነሣሡ፤ 23እንዲሁም በእያንዳንዱ ኰረብታና በየትልልቁ ዛፍ ጥላ ሥር የማምለኪያ ኰረብቶችን አዕማደ ጣዖታት፣ የአሼራን ምስል ዐምድ ለራሳቸው አቆሙ። 24ከዚያም ይልቅ፣ የቤተ ጣዖት ወንደቃዎች በምድሪቱ ላይ ነበሩ፤ እግዚአብሔር ከእስራኤላውያን ፊት አሳዶ ያስወጣቸው አሕዛብ የፈጸሙትን አስጸያፊ ድርጊት ሁሉ እነዚህም ፈጸሙ።
25ሮብዓም በነገሠ በአምስተኛው ዓመት የግብፅ ንጉሥ ሺሻቅ በኢየሩሳሌም ላይ አደጋ ጣለ፤ 26የእግዚአብሔርን ቤተ መቅደስና የቤተ መንግሥቱን ሀብት ወሰደ፤ ሰሎሞን ያሠራቸው የወርቅ ጋሻዎች እንኳን ሳይቀሩ ሁሉንም ነገር አጋዘ። 27ስለዚህ ንጉሥ ሮብዓም እነዚህን ለመተካት ሲል፣ የናስ ጋሻዎች አሠርቶ የቤተ መንግሥቱን በር የሚጠብቁት ዘበኞች አዛዦች እንዲይዙ አደረገ። 28ንጉሡ ወደ እግዚአብሔር ቤተ መቅደስ በሚሄድበት ጊዜ ሁሉ፣ ዘቦቹ ጋሻዎቹን ያነግባሉ፤ ከዚያም በዘብ ጥበቃው ክፍል መልሰው ያስቀምጡ ነበር።
29የቀረው የሮብዓም አገዛዝ፣ ያደረገውም ሁሉ በይሁዳ ነገሥታት ታሪክ ተጽፎ የሚገኝ አይደለምን? 30በሮብዓምና በኢዮርብዓም መካከል ያላቋረጠ ጦርነት ተደርጎ ነበር። 31ሮብዓምም ከአባቶቹ ጋር አንቀላፋ፤ እነርሱ በተቀበሩበትም በዳዊት ከተማ ተቀበረ። እናቱ ናዓማ የተባለች አሞናዊት ነበረች። ልጁ አብያም14፥31 አንዳንድ የዕብራይስጥና የሰብዓ ሊቃናት ትርጒሞች ከዚህ ጋር ይስማማሉ፤ አብዛኞቹ የዕብራይስጥ ትርጒሞች ግን፣ አቢጃም ይላሉ በእግሩ ተተክቶ ነገሠ።

1神に選ばれてキリスト・イエスの使徒となったパウロと,信仰の友テモテから, 2コロサイの町に住む,神の民とされた忠実な兄弟たち(信仰を同じくする人々)へ.どうか,父なる神が,あなたがたに祝福を豊かに注ぎ,すばらしい平安をあふれるほどに与えてくださいますように.
3私たちはあなたがたのために祈る時,いつも,まず主イエス・キリストの父なる神に感謝します. 4それは,あなたがたの主に対する深い信頼と,神の民となった人々に対する深い愛とを耳にしているからです. 5また,あなたがたは福音(キリストによる救いの知らせ)を初めて聞いた時からずっと,天国にある喜びを早く味わいたいと待ちこがれてきました. 6今ではこの同じ福音が世界中に広まり,至る所で人々の人生が変えられています.ちょうど,あなたがたが初めて福音を聞いた日に,罪人に対する神の豊かな恵みを真に理解して,人生が全く変えられたように. 7それをあなたがたに伝えたのは,私たちと共に働いている,愛するエパフラスでした.彼はイエス・キリストに忠実に仕えており,今ここで,あなたがたに代わって私たちを助けてくれています. 8彼はまた,あなたがたがどんなに他の人々を愛しているかを知らせてくれました.そのような愛は,聖霊が与えてくださったものです.
9そういうわけで,私たちはそのことを聞いた時から,絶えずこう祈り求めています.どうか,神が何を望んでおられるか,はっきりとあなたがたにわかりますように.また,霊的なことに対する理解力が与えられますように. 10いつも主に喜ばれる生き方をして,主の評判を高めることができますように.他の人々に善意と親切とを示し,神をますます深く知るに至りますように. 11また,こうも祈っています.あなたがたが神の栄光ある力に満たされて,どんなことが起ころうとも前進し,いつも,主の喜びにあふれていることができますように. 12また,光の国にすばらしい場所を備え,私たちをそこに住むにふさわしい者としてくださった父なる神に,いつも感謝できますように.
13神は私たちを,サタンの支配する暗黒から救い出して,愛するひとり子キリストのご支配のもとに移してくださいました. 14この神の子は,ご自分の血という代価を払って,私たちを買い取ってくださり,すべての罪を赦してくださったのです.
キリストは教会のかしら
15キリストは,目には見えない神のかたちであり,神がすべてのものをお造りになる前からおられました. 16事実,キリストはすべてのものの創造者なのです.天にあるものも地にあるものも,目に見えるものも見えないものも,霊の世界の王座も主権も支配も権威もすべて,この方がご自身の目的と栄光のために造られたのです. 17キリストは他のすべてのものに先立って存在し,すべてのものは,キリストによって成り立っています. 18ですからキリストは,ご自分に属する人々からなる体〔すなわち教会〕のかしらです.キリストは,だれよりも先に死者の中から復活された方です.こうしてキリストが,あらゆる点で第一の地位を占めておられるのです. 19神は,ご自分のすべてが御子の中に宿ることを望み, 20キリストの十字架の血によって,天と地のすべてのものが神のもとに行く道を開いてくださいました.神の子キリストが十字架の上で死なれたことにより,すべてのものが,神との平和な関係を持つに至ったのです.
21そのすべてのものの中には,かつて神から遠く離れていたあなたがたも含まれています.あなたがたは以前は神の敵であり,神を憎み,悪い考えや行いによって神から離れていました. 22しかし今,神は,キリストが人間の体をもって十字架上で死なれたことにより,あなたがたをご自分と和解させてくださったのです.それはあなたがたを,少しも非難されるところのない,きよい者として神の前に立たせてくださるためでした. 23ただしあなたがたは真理に堅く立って,ゆるがされることなく信仰に踏みとどまらなければなりません.そして,イエスがあなたがたのために死んでくださったという福音を,決して失ってはなりません.この福音は今や世界中に広がっており,私パウロは,その福音を伝える働きに仕えているのです.
明らかにされた救いの計画
24いま私は,あなたがたのために苦しむことも,私の務めとして喜んでいます.キリストの体である教会のために,キリストの苦しみの残された部分を担っているからです. 25神が私を遣わされたのは,教会を助け,あなたがたユダヤ人以外の外国人に,その救いの計画を知らせるためです. 26-27神はこれまで何世代にもわたって,この救いの計画を秘密にしてこられましたが,今ついに,神を愛し,神のために生きる人々にそれを明かされました.この計画があなたがた外国人にとって,どんなに栄光に満ちたものであるかを知らせたいと思われたのです.その計画とは,「あなたがたの心の中に住むキリストこそ,栄光にあずかる唯一の希望である」ということです. 28ですから,私たちはどこへ行っても,耳を傾けるすべての人にキリストを伝え,できるかぎりの手を尽くして,あらゆる人をさとし,教えています.そして,彼ら一人一人を,完全な者として神の前に立たせることができるようにと願っています. 29これが私の務めです.キリストが私のうちに力強く働いてくださるからこそ,この務めを果たせるのです.

सात ठन दुःख

1तब यीसू ह भीड़ के मनखे अऊ अपन चेलामन ला कहिस, 2“मूसा के कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन मूसा के कानून ला सिखोथें। 3एकरसेति, ओमन जऊन कुछू कहिथें ओला मानव अऊ करव। पर ओमन सहीं काम झन करव, काबरकि ओमन जइसने कहिथें वइसने नइं करंय। 4ओमन कानून के भारी बोझा ला बनाथें अऊ ओला मनखेमन के खांधा ऊपर लदक देथें, पर ओमन ह खुदे ओला टारे बर अपन अंगरी घलो उठाय नइं चाहंय।
5ओमन अपन जम्मो काम मनखेमन ला देखाय बर करथें। ओमन देखाय बर चाकर-चाकर ताबीज बनाके अपन बाहां अऊ माथा म पहिरथें अऊ अपन कपड़ा म लम्बा झालर लगवाथें23:5 ताबीज याने एक किसम के डिब्बा, जऊन म परमेसर के बचन के पद रहिथे।।
6भोज मन म आदर के ठऊर अऊ सभा घरमन म खास जगह म बईठना ओमन ला बने लगथे। 7बजार म जोहार झोंकना अऊ मनखेमन के दुवारा गुरूजी कहवई ओमन ला बने लगथे।
8पर तुमन अपन ला गुरू झन कहावव, काबरकि तुम्हर सिरिप एक गुरू हवय, अऊ तुमन जम्मो झन भाई-भाई अव। 9धरती म कोनो ला अपन ददा झन कहव, काबरकि तुम्हर एके ददा हवय, जऊन ह स्वरग म हवय। 10तुमन अपन ला मालिक घलो झन कहावव, काबरकि तुम्हर एके मालिक हवय याने कि ‘मसीह’। 11जऊन ह तुमन जम्मो म बड़े अय, ओह तुम्हर सेवक बनय। 12जऊन ह अपन-आप ला बड़े बनाही, ओला छोटे करे जाही, अऊ जऊन ह अपन-आप ला छोटे बनाही, ओला बड़े करे जाही।
13हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन मनखेमन बर स्वरग राज के दुवारी ला बंद कर देथव। न तो तुमन खुदे ओम जावव अऊ न ही ओमन ला जावन देवव, जऊन मन ओम जाय के कोसिस करथंय।
14हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन बिधवामन के घर ला लूटथव अऊ देखाय बर लम्बा-लम्बा पराथना करथव। एकरसेति, तुमन ला जादा कठोर सजा मिलही।
15हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन एक झन ला अपन बिसवास म लाने बर समुंदर अऊ धरती ऊपर फिरथव, अऊ जब ओह तुम्हर बिसवास म आ जाथे, त तुमन ओला अपन ले दू गुना नरक के लइका बना देथव।

23हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन अपन मसाला जइसने कि पोदीना, सौंफ अऊ जीरा के दसवां भाग ला देथव,23:23 लैब्यवस्था 27:30 पर तुमन मूसा के कानून के जादा महत्व के बात जइसने कि नियाय, दया अऊ बिसवास के अनदेखी करथव।23:23 होसे 6:6; यिरमियाह 9:23 तुम्हर बर उचित अय कि ए काममन ला करव अऊ ओ दूसर काम के अनदेखी घलो झन करव। 24हे अंधरा अगुवामन! तुमन उड़इया छोटे कीरा ला तो छान लेथव, पर ऊंट ला लील लेथव।23:24 लैब्यवस्था 11:20-23, 40
25हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन कटोरा अऊ थारी के बाहिर ला तो मांजथव, पर भीतर ले, ओमन ह लोभ अऊ लूट-खसोट ले छीने गय चीजमन ले भरे हवंय। 26हे अंधरा फरीसीमन हो! पहिली कटोरा अऊ थारी के भीतरी ला मांजव, तब ओमन के बाहिरी भाग घलो साफ होही।
27हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन चूना पोताय कबर के सहीं अव, जऊन ह बाहिर ले तो सुघर दिखथे, पर भीतर ह मुरदा मनखेमन के हाड़ा अऊ जम्मो असुध चीज ले भरे रहिथे। 28ओही किसम ले, तुमन मनखेमन ला बाहिर ले धरमी दिखथव, पर भीतर ले तुमन ढोंग अऊ अधरम ले भरे हवव।
29हे ढोंगी, कानून के गुरू अऊ फरीसी मन, तुम्हर ऊपर हाय! तुमन अगमजानीमन के कबर ला बनाथव अऊ धरमीमन के कबर ला सजाथव, 30अऊ तुमन ए कहिथव, ‘यदि हमन अपन पुरखामन के जुग म होतेन, त हमन अगमजानीमन के हतिया करई म ओमन संग भागी नइं होतेन।’ 31ए किसम ले, तुमन खुदे मान लेथव कि तुमन ओमन के संतान अव, जऊन मन अगमजानीमन ला मार डारिन। 32तब तुमन अपन पुरखामन के छोंड़े पाप के घघरी ला भर देथव।
33हे सांपमन हो! हे करैत सांप के लइकामन हो! तुमन नरक के सजा ले कइसने बचहू। 34एकरसेति, मेंह तुम्हर करा अगमजानी, अऊ बुद्धिमान अऊ गुरूजी मन ला पठोवत हंव। ओम ले कतेक झन ला तुमन मार डारहू अऊ कुरुस ऊपर चघाहू; कतेक झन ला तुमन अपन सभा घर म कोर्रा म मारहू अऊ सहर-सहर म ओमन ला सताहू।23:34 लूका 11:49; यिरमियाह 25:4-5 35ए किसम ले, जम्मो धरमीमन के लहू, जऊन ह धरती ऊपर बोहाय हवय – धरमी हाबिल के लहू ले लेके बिरिकियाह के बेटा जकरयाह के लहू तक, जऊन ला तुमन मंदिर अऊ बेदी के बीच म मार डारेव; ए जम्मो के दोस तुम्हर ऊपर आही। 36मेंह तुमन ला सच कहत हंव – ए जम्मो बात, ए पीढ़ी के मनखेमन ऊपर होही।
37हे यरूसलेम सहर! हे यरूसलेम सहर! तेंह अगमजानीमन ला मार डारथस अऊ जऊन मन ला तोर करा पठोय जाथे, ओमन ला तेंह पथरा ले मारथस। मेंह कतेक बार चाहेंव कि तोर लइकामन ला वइसने संकेलंव, जइसने कुकरी ह अपन चियांमन ला अपन डेना खाल्हे संकेलथे, पर तेंह ए नइं चाहय। 38देख, तोर घर ह उजाड़ पड़े हवय। 39मेंह तोला कहथंव कि तेंह मोला तब तक फेर नइं देख सकस, जब तक कि तेंह ए नइं कहस, ‘धइन ए ओह, जऊन ह परभू के नांव म आथे।’ ”

1요셉은 아버지에게 몸을 굽혀, 울면서 입을 맞추고
2-3그에게 시중드는 의사들에게 자기 아버 지의 몸에 향을 넣으라고 명령하였다. 그래서 의사들은 40일 동안 그 몸에 향을 넣었는데 이것은 50:2-3 암시됨.시체가 썩는 것을 막기 위해 보통 향을 넣는 기간이었다. 그리고 이집트 사람들은 70일 동안 그의 죽음을 슬퍼하였다.
4애도 기간이 지나자 요셉은 궁전에 있는 바로의 신하들에게 말하였다. “당신들이 나를 좋게 여긴다면 내가 이렇게 말한다고 왕에게 좀 일러 주시오.
5‘우리 아버지가 나에게 맹세까지 시키시면서, 돌아가시면 가나안 땅에 손수 파 두신 묘실에 장사해 달라고 부탁하셨습니다. 이제 내가 올라가서 아버지를 장사할 수 있도록 허락해 주십시오. 장사가 끝나는 대로 돌아오겠습니다.’ ”
6그러자 바로는 “네가 맹세한 대로 올라가서 네 아버지를 장사하여라” 하고 대답하였다.
7그래서 요셉은 자기 아버지를 장사하려고 올라갔는데 바로의 모든 신하들과 50:7 또는 ‘바로궁의장로들과’궁중 자문 위원들과 이집트의 모든 고위 관리들도 요셉과 함께 올라갔다.
8그리고 요셉의 가족들과 그의 형제들과 모든 친척들도 함께 올라가고 고센 땅에는 어린 아이들과 양떼와 소떼만 남았다.
9이와 같이 전차와 마병들까지 동원된 장사 행렬은 장사진을 이루었다.
10그들은 요단강 건너편 아닷 타작 마당에 이르러 오랫동안 큰 소리로 울었으며 요셉은 거기서 관습대로 7일 동안 울며 슬퍼하였다.
11그 땅에 사는 가나안 사람들은 아닷 타작 마당에서 들려오는 울음 소리를 듣고 “이것은 이집트 사람들이 애통하는 소리이다” 하고 말하였다. 그래서 요단 건너편에 있는 그 땅 이름을 50:11 ‘이집트사람들의애통’ 이라는뜻.‘아벨 – 미스라임’ 이라고 하였다.
12이렇게 해서 야곱의 아들들은 자기 아버지가 명령한 대로
13그를 가나안 땅으로 메고 가서 마므레 앞 막벨라 밭에 있는 굴에 장사하였는데 이 곳은 아브라함이 헷 사람 에브론에게 그 밭과 함께 산 매장지였다.
14요셉은 아버지를 매장한 후에 그의 형제들과 그리고 장례식에 그를 따라간 모든 사람들과 함께 이집트로 돌아왔다.
요셉이 형들을 안심시키다
15요셉의 형제들은 아버지가 죽은 후에 “만일 요셉이 지금까지 우리에게 앙심을 품고 우리가 그에게 행한 일에 대하여 복수를 한다면 어떻게 할까?” 하고
16요셉에게 이런 전갈을 보냈다. “당신의 아버지는 돌아가시기 전에
17당신에게 이런 말을 전하라고 우리에게 지시하셨습니다. ‘네 형들이 너에게 악한 짓을 했을지라도 이제 너는 그들의 잘못을 용서해 주어라.’ 그러니 이제 당신도 당신 아버지의 하나님의 종들인 우리를 용서해 주십시오.” 요셉은 그 전갈을 받고 울었다.
18그리고 그 형들이 직접 와서 요셉 앞에 엎드려 “우리는 당신의 종들입니다” 하자
19요셉이 그들에게 말하였다. “두려워하지 마십시오. 내가 하나님을 대신할 수 있겠습니까?
20형님들은 나를 해치려고 하였으나 하나님은 그것을 선으로 바꾸셔서 오늘날 내가 많은 사람의 생명을 구할 수 있게 하셨습니다.
21그러니 형님들은 조금도 두려워하지 마십시오. 내가 형님들과 형님들의 자녀들을 보살펴 주겠습니다.” 이와 같이 요셉은 따듯한 말로 그들을 안심시켰다.
요셉의 죽음
22요셉은 자기 아버지의 가족들과 함께 110세까지 이집트에 살면서
23에브라임의 자손 3대를 보았으며 므낫세의 아들인 마길의 자녀들도 그의 슬하에서 키웠다.
24요셉은 자기 형제들에게 이렇게 말하였다. “나는 죽지만 하나님은 분명히 형님들을 보살펴 주셔서 이 땅에서 인도해 내어 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱에게 약속하신 땅에 이르게 하실 것입니다.”
25그러고서 요셉은 이스라엘 자손들에게 “하나님이 분명히 너희를 인도하여 그 땅에 이르게 하실 것이다. 그때 너희가 내 유해를 메고 올라가겠다고 나에게 맹세하여라” 하였다.
26이렇게 하여 요셉이 그 곳 이집트에서 110세에 죽자 그들이 그의 몸에 향을 넣고 입관하였다.
