Mark 8
1 In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
tadā tatsamīpaṁ bahavo lokā āyātā atasteṣāṁ bhojyadravyābhāvād yīśuḥ śiṣyānāhūya jagāda, |
2 “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
lokanivahe mama kṛpā jāyate te dinatrayaṁ mayā sārddhaṁ santi teṣāṁ bhojyaṁ kimapi nāsti|
3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
teṣāṁ madhye'neke dūrād āgatāḥ, abhukteṣu teṣu mayā svagṛhamabhiprahiteṣu te pathi klamiṣyanti|
4 His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”
śiṣyā avādiṣuḥ, etāvato lokān tarpayitum atra prantare pūpān prāptuṁ kena śakyate?
5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
tataḥ sa tān papraccha yuṣmākaṁ kati pūpāḥ santi? te'kathayan sapta|
6 And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
tataḥ sa tāllokān bhuvi samupaveṣṭum ādiśya tān sapta pūpān dhṛtvā īśvaraguṇān anukīrttayāmāsa, bhaṁktvā pariveṣayituṁ śiṣyān prati dadau, tataste lokebhyaḥ pariveṣayāmāsuḥ|
7 They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.
tathā teṣāṁ samīpe ye kṣudramatsyā āsan tānapyādāya īśvaraguṇān saṁkīrtya pariveṣayitum ādiṣṭavān|
8 The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
tato lokā bhuktvā tṛptiṁ gatā avaśiṣṭakhādyaiḥ pūrṇāḥ saptaḍallakā gṛhītāśca|
9 And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
ete bhoktāraḥ prāyaścatuḥ sahasrapuruṣā āsan tataḥ sa tān visasarja|
10 He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
atha sa śiṣyaḥ saha nāvamāruhya dalmānūthāsīmāmāgataḥ|
11 Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
tataḥ paraṁ phirūśina āgatya tena saha vivadamānāstasya parīkṣārtham ākāśīyacihnaṁ draṣṭuṁ yācitavantaḥ|
12 Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
tadā so'ntardīrghaṁ niśvasyākathayat, ete vidyamānanarāḥ kutaścinhaṁ mṛgayante? yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ bravīmi lokānetān kimapi cihnaṁ na darśayiṣyate|
13 And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
atha tān hitvā puna rnāvam āruhya pāramagāt|
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
etarhi śiṣyaiḥ pūpeṣu vismṛteṣu nāvi teṣāṁ sannidhau pūpa ekaeva sthitaḥ|
15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
tadānīṁ yīśustān ādiṣṭavān phirūśināṁ herodaśca kiṇvaṁ prati satarkāḥ sāvadhānāśca bhavata|
16 So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
tataste'nyonyaṁ vivecanaṁ kartum ārebhire, asmākaṁ sannidhau pūpo nāstīti hetoridaṁ kathayati|
17 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?
tad budvvā yīśustebhyo'kathayat yuṣmākaṁ sthāne pūpābhāvāt kuta itthaṁ vitarkayatha? yūyaṁ kimadyāpi kimapi na jānītha? boddhuñca na śaknutha? yāvadadya kiṁ yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi kaṭhināni santi?
18 ‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
satsu netreṣu kiṁ na paśyatha? satsu karṇeṣu kiṁ na śṛṇutha? na smaratha ca?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.
yadāhaṁ pañcapūpān pañcasahasrāṇāṁ puruṣāṇāṁ madhye bhaṁktvā dattavān tadānīṁ yūyam avaśiṣṭapūpaiḥ pūrṇān kati ḍallakān gṛhītavantaḥ? te'kathayan dvādaśaḍallakān|
20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.
aparañca yadā catuḥsahasrāṇāṁ puruṣāṇāṁ madhye pūpān bhaṁktvādadāṁ tadā yūyam atiriktapūpānāṁ kati ḍallakān gṛhītavantaḥ? te kathayāmāsuḥ saptaḍallakān|
21 Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”
tadā sa kathitavān tarhi yūyam adhunāpi kuto bodvvuṁ na śaknutha?
22 When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
anantaraṁ tasmin baitsaidānagare prāpte lokā andhamekaṁ naraṁ tatsamīpamānīya taṁ spraṣṭuṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrire|
23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
tadā tasyāndhasya karau gṛhītvā nagarād bahirdeśaṁ taṁ nītavān; tannetre niṣṭhīvaṁ dattvā tadgātre hastāvarpayitvā taṁ papraccha, kimapi paśyasi?
24 The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
sa netre unmīlya jagāda, vṛkṣavat manujān gacchato nirīkṣe|
25 Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
tato yīśuḥ punastasya nayanayo rhastāvarpayitvā tasya netre unmīlayāmāsa; tasmāt sa svastho bhūtvā spaṣṭarūpaṁ sarvvalokān dadarśa|
26 Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
tataḥ paraṁ tvaṁ grāmaṁ mā gaccha grāmasthaṁ kamapi ca kimapyanuktvā nijagṛhaṁ yāhītyādiśya yīśustaṁ nijagṛhaṁ prahitavān|
27 Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”
anantaraṁ śiṣyaiḥ sahito yīśuḥ kaisarīyāphilipipuraṁ jagāma, pathi gacchan tānapṛcchat ko'ham atra lokāḥ kiṁ vadanti?
28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
te pratyūcuḥ tvāṁ yohanaṁ majjakaṁ vadanti kintu kepi kepi eliyaṁ vadanti; apare kepi kepi bhaviṣyadvādinām eko jana iti vadanti|
29 “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
atha sa tānapṛcchat kintu koham? ityatra yūyaṁ kiṁ vadatha? tadā pitaraḥ pratyavadat bhavān abhiṣiktastrātā|
30 And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.
tataḥ sa tān gāḍhamādiśad yūyaṁ mama kathā kasmaicidapi mā kathayata|
31 Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.
manuṣyaputreṇāvaśyaṁ bahavo yātanā bhoktavyāḥ prācīnalokaiḥ pradhānayājakairadhyāpakaiśca sa ninditaḥ san ghātayiṣyate tṛtīyadine utthāsyati ca, yīśuḥ śiṣyānupadeṣṭumārabhya kathāmimāṁ spaṣṭamācaṣṭa|
32 He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
tasmāt pitarastasya hastau dhṛtvā taṁ tarjjitavān|
33 But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
kintu sa mukhaṁ parāvartya śiṣyagaṇaṁ nirīkṣya pitaraṁ tarjayitvāvādīd dūrībhava vighnakārin īśvarīyakāryyādapi manuṣyakāryyaṁ tubhyaṁ rocatatarāṁ|
34 Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
atha sa lokān śiṣyāṁścāhūya jagāda yaḥ kaścin māmanugantum icchati sa ātmānaṁ dāmyatu, svakruśaṁ gṛhītvā matpaścād āyātu|
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
yato yaḥ kaścit svaprāṇaṁ rakṣitumicchati sa taṁ hārayiṣyati, kintu yaḥ kaścin madarthaṁ susaṁvādārthañca prāṇaṁ hārayati sa taṁ rakṣiṣyati|
36 What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
aparañca manujaḥ sarvvaṁ jagat prāpya yadi svaprāṇaṁ hārayati tarhi tasya ko lābhaḥ?
37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
naraḥ svaprāṇavinimayena kiṁ dātuṁ śaknoti?
38 If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
eteṣāṁ vyabhicāriṇāṁ pāpināñca lokānāṁ sākṣād yadi kopi māṁ matkathāñca lajjāspadaṁ jānāti tarhi manujaputro yadā dharmmadūtaiḥ saha pituḥ prabhāveṇāgamiṣyati tadā sopi taṁ lajjāspadaṁ jñāsyati|
