Hesekiel 19

Studie

   

1 "Mutta sinä, viritä itkuvirsi Israelin ruhtinaista

2 ja sano: Mikä naarasleijona olikaan sinun äitisi leijonain joukossa! Se makasi nuorten jalopeurain keskellä, kasvatti poikasiansa

3 ja sai ylenemään yhden poikasistaan: siitä tuli nuori jalopeura, se oppi saalista raatelemaan, se söi ihmisiä.

4 Mutta kansat kuulivat siitä: se pyydystettiin heidän kuoppaansa ja vietiin turpakoukussa Egyptin maahan.

5 Kun emo näki, että viipyi, että hukkui hänen toivonsa, otti se toisen poikasistaan, sai sen nuoreksi jalopeuraksi.

6 Se käyskenteli leijonain keskellä, siitä tuli nuori jalopeura, se oppi saalista raatelemaan, se söi ihmisiä.

7 Se ryhtyi heidän leskiinsä ja teki autioiksi heidän kaupunkinsa, ja maa ja kaikki, mitä siinä on, kauhistui sen ärjynnän äänestä.

8 Silloin kansat maakunnista yltympäri asettivat ja virittivät sille verkkonsa; se pyydystettiin heidän kuoppaansa.

9 Ja se pantiin häkkiin, turpakoukkuun ja vietiin Baabelin kuninkaan eteen. Se vietiin vuorilinnoihin, ettei sen ääni enää kuuluisi Israelin vuorille.

10 Sinun äitisi oli sinulle kuin verevä viinipuu, veden ääreen istutettu. Se tuli runsaasta vedestä hedelmöitseväksi ja tuuhealehväiseksi.

11 Siihen tuli ylväitä oksia hallitsijain valtikoiksi, ja sen runko kohosi korkealle tiheän lehvistön keskellä ja näkyi kauas korkeana ja runsas-oksaisena.

12 Mutta se temmattiin vihaisesti irti, viskattiin maahan, ja itätuuli kuivasi sen hedelmät, ne revittiin hajalleen, ja sen ylväät oksat kuivuivat, ne kulutti tuli.

13 Nyt se on istutettuna erämaahan, kuivaan ja janoiseen maahan.

14 Ja sen valtaoksasta on lähtenyt tuli, se on kuluttanut sen hedelmät, ja ylvästä oksaa hallitusvaltikaksi ei siinä enää ole." Itkuvirsi tämä oli oleva, ja itkuvirsi siitä on tullut.

Genesis 14

Studie

   

1 It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

2 that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar).

3 All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.

5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim;

9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.

11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

12 They took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.

14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

15 He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

19 He blessed him, and said, "blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of all.

21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself."

22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
