Bible verses about "celebration" | YLT

¹ And at Solomon's finishing to pray, then the fire hath come down from the heavens, and consumeth the burnt-offering and the sacrifices, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house, ² and the priests have not been able to go in unto the house of Jehovah, because the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah. ³ And all the sons of Israel are looking on the descending of the fire, and the honour of Jehovah on the house, and they bow—faces to the earth—on the pavement, and do obeisance, and give thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age is His kindness. ⁴ And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah, ⁵ and king Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of the herd, twenty and two thousand, and of the flock, a hundred and twenty thousand, and the king and all the people dedicate the house of God. ⁶ And the priests over their charges are standing, and the Levites with instruments of the song of Jehovah—that David the king made, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age is His kindness, in David's praising by their hand—and the priests are blowing trumpets over-against them, and all Israel are standing. ⁷ And Solomon sanctifieth the middle of the court that is before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: for the altar of brass that Solomon made hath not been able to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat. ⁸ And Solomon maketh the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him—a very great assembly—from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt. ⁹ And they make on the eighth day a restraint, because the dedication of the altar they have made seven days, and the feast seven days. ¹⁰ And on the twenty and third day of the seventh month he hath sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that Jehovah hath done to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel His people.

¹ And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying, ² `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son, <sup>3</sup> and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come. <sup>4</sup> `Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts; ⁵ and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise; ⁶ and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay them . ⁷ `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire; <sup>8</sup> then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy, <sup>9</sup> be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts. <sup>10</sup> `And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining. ¹¹ `And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast, <sup>12</sup> and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless. <sup>13</sup> `Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth; ¹⁴ for many are called, and few chosen.'
¹⁵ Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words, ¹⁶ and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men; <sup>17</sup> tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?' <sup>18</sup> And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites? ¹⁹ show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary; ²⁰ and he saith to them, `Whose is this image and the inscription?' <sup>21</sup> they say to him, `Caesar's;' then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' <sup>22</sup> and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.
<sup>23</sup> In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying, <sup>24</sup> `Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to his brother. ²⁵ `And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother; <sup>26</sup> in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh, <sup>27</sup> and last of all died also the woman; <sup>28</sup> therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife—for all had her?' <sup>29</sup> And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God; ³⁰ for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven. ³¹ `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, <sup>32</sup> I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.' <sup>33</sup> And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;
<sup>34</sup> and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him; <sup>35</sup> and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying, <sup>36</sup> `Teacher, which is the great command in the Law?' ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding— <sup>38</sup> this is a first and great command; <sup>39</sup> and the second is like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; <sup>40</sup> on these—the two commands—all the law and the prophets do hang.'
<sup>41</sup> And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them, <sup>42</sup> saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, `Of David.' <sup>43</sup> He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool? ⁴⁵ If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?' ⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.

¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

¹ And him who is weak in the faith receive ye—not to determinations of reasonings; ² one doth believe that he may eat all things—and he who is weak doth eat herbs; ³ let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating: and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for God did receive him. ⁴ Thou—who art thou that art judging another's domestic? to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. ⁵ One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike; let each in his own mind be fully assured. ⁶ He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God. ⁷ For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself doth die; ⁸ for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; ⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord. ¹⁰ And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; ¹¹ for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord—to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;' ¹² so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give reckoning to God; ¹³ no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence. ¹⁴ I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean—to that one it is unclean; ¹⁵ and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals destroy that one for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of, ¹⁷ for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; ¹⁸ for he who in these things is serving the Christ, is acceptable to God and approved of men. ¹⁹ So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another; ²⁰ for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling. ²¹ Right it is not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to fall, or is weak. ²² Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve, ²³ and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.

¹ And I commend you to Phebe our sister—being a ministrant of the assembly that is in Cenchrea— ² that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you—for she also became a leader of many, and of myself. ³ Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ Jesus— ⁴ who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations— ⁵ and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ. ⁶ Salute Mary, who did labour much for us; ⁷ salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me. ⁸ Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord; ⁹ salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys, my beloved; ¹⁰ salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the household of Aristobulus; ¹¹ salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord; ¹² salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord. ¹³ Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine, ¹⁴ salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them; ¹⁵ salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them; ¹⁶ salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.
¹⁷ And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them; ¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless, ¹⁹ for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil; ²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!
²¹ Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred; ²² I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; ²³ salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother, ²⁴ the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
²⁵ And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent, ²⁶ and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith— ²⁷ to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him be glory to the ages. Amen.

¹¹ and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,

³ And he spake unto them this simile, saying, ⁴ `What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it? <sup>5</sup> and having found, he doth lay it on his shoulders rejoicing, <sup>6</sup> and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep—the lost one. <sup>7</sup> `I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation. ⁸ `Or what woman having ten drachms, if she may lose one drachm, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully till that she may find? <sup>9</sup> and having found, she doth call together the female friends and the neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachm that I lost. <sup>10</sup> `So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'

⁵ One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day alike; let each in his own mind be fully assured. ⁶ He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

¹³ yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good by all his labour, it is a gift of God.

⁴ A time to weep, And a time to laugh. A time to mourn, And a time to skip.

⁸ so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

²³ and having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we may be merry, ²⁴ because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

³¹ Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

¹ Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength. ² Praise Him in His mighty acts, Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness. ³ Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp. ⁴ Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ. ⁵ Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting. ⁶ All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah!
