Matthew 21
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
anantaraṁ teṣu yirūśālamnagarasya samīpaverttino jaitunanāmakadharādharasya samīpasthtiṁ baitphagigrāmam āgateṣu, yīśuḥ śiṣyadvayaṁ preṣayan jagāda,
2 saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.
yuvāṁ sammukhasthagrāmaṁ gatvā baddhāṁ yāṁ savatsāṁ garddabhīṁ haṭhāt prāpsyathaḥ, tāṁ mocayitvā madantikam ānayataṁ|
3 If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
tatra yadi kaścit kiñcid vakṣyati, tarhi vadiṣyathaḥ, etasyāṁ prabhoḥ prayojanamāste, tena sa tatkṣaṇāt praheṣyati|
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
sīyonaḥ kanyakāṁ yūyaṁ bhāṣadhvamiti bhāratīṁ| paśya te namraśīlaḥ san nṛpa āruhya gardabhīṁ| arthādāruhya tadvatsamāyāsyati tvadantikaṁ|
5 “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
bhaviṣyadvādinoktaṁ vacanamidaṁ tadā saphalamabhūt|
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
anantaraṁ tau śṣyi yīśo ryathānideśaṁ taṁ grāmaṁ gatvā
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
gardabhīṁ tadvatsañca samānītavantau, paścāt tadupari svīyavasanānī pātayitvā tamārohayāmāsatuḥ|
8 A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
tato bahavo lokā nijavasanāni pathi prasārayitumārebhire, katipayā janāśca pādapaparṇādikaṁ chitvā pathi vistārayāmāsuḥ|
9 The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
agragāminaḥ paścādgāminaśca manujā uccairjaya jaya dāyūdaḥ santāneti jagaduḥ parameśvarasya nāmnā ya āyāti sa dhanyaḥ, sarvvoparisthasvargepi jayati|
10 When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
itthaṁ tasmin yirūśālamaṁ praviṣṭe ko'yamiti kathanāt kṛtsnaṁ nagaraṁ cañcalamabhavat|
11 The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
tatra lokoḥ kathayāmāsuḥ, eṣa gālīlpradeśīya-nāsaratīya-bhaviṣyadvādī yīśuḥ|
12 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
anantaraṁ yīśurīśvarasya mandiraṁ praviśya tanmadhyāt krayavikrayiṇo vahiścakāra; vaṇijāṁ mudrāsanānī kapotavikrayiṇāñcasanānī ca nyuvjayāmāsa|
13 And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
aparaṁ tānuvāca, eṣā lipirāste, "mama gṛhaṁ prārthanāgṛhamiti vikhyāsyati", kintu yūyaṁ tad dasyūnāṁ gahvaraṁ kṛtavantaḥ|
14 The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.
tadanantaram andhakhañcalokāstasya samīpamāgatāḥ, sa tān nirāmayān kṛtavān|
15 But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
yadā pradhānayājakā adhyāpakāśca tena kṛtānyetāni citrakarmmāṇi dadṛśuḥ, jaya jaya dāyūdaḥ santāna, mandire bālakānām etādṛśam uccadhvaniṁ śuśruvuśca, tadā mahākruddhā babhūvaḥ,
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”
taṁ papracchuśca, ime yad vadanti, tat kiṁ tvaṁ śṛṇoṣi? tato yīśustān avocat, satyam; stanyapāyiśiśūnāñca bālakānāñca vaktrataḥ| svakīyaṁ mahimānaṁ tvaṁ saṁprakāśayasi svayaṁ| etadvākyaṁ yūyaṁ kiṁ nāpaṭhata?
17 Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
tatastān vihāya sa nagarād baithaniyāgrāmaṁ gatvā tatra rajanīṁ yāpayāmāsa|
18 In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
anantaraṁ prabhāte sati yīśuḥ punarapi nagaramāgacchan kṣudhārtto babhūva|
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered. (aiōn g165)
tato mārgapārśva uḍumbaravṛkṣamekaṁ vilokya tatsamīpaṁ gatvā patrāṇi vinā kimapi na prāpya taṁ pādapaṁ provāca, adyārabhya kadāpi tvayi phalaṁ na bhavatu; tena tatkṣaṇāt sa uḍumbaramāhīruhaḥ śuṣkatāṁ gataḥ| (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
tad dṛṣṭvā śiṣyā āścaryyaṁ vijñāya kathayāmāsuḥ, āḥ, uḍumvarapādapo'titūrṇaṁ śuṣko'bhavat|
21 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
tato yīśustānuvāca, yuṣmānahaṁ satyaṁ vadāmi, yadi yūyamasandigdhāḥ pratītha, tarhi yūyamapi kevaloḍumvarapādapaṁ pratītthaṁ karttuṁ śakṣyatha, tanna, tvaṁ calitvā sāgare pateti vākyaṁ yuṣmābhirasmina śaile proktepi tadaiva tad ghaṭiṣyate|
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
tathā viśvasya prārthya yuṣmābhi ryad yāciṣyate, tadeva prāpsyate|
23 When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”
anantaraṁ mandiraṁ praviśyopadeśanasamaye tatsamīpaṁ pradhānayājakāḥ prācīnalokāścāgatya papracchuḥ, tvayā kena sāmarthyanaitāni karmmāṇi kriyante? kena vā tubhyametāni sāmarthyāni dattāni?
24 “I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
tato yīśuḥ pratyavadat, ahamapi yuṣmān vācamekāṁ pṛcchāmi, yadi yūyaṁ taduttaraṁ dātuṁ śakṣyatha, tadā kena sāmarthyena karmmāṇyetāni karomi, tadahaṁ yuṣmān vakṣyāmi|
25 What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
yohano majjanaṁ kasyājñayābhavat? kimīśvarasya manuṣyasya vā? tataste parasparaṁ vivicya kathayāmāsuḥ, yadīśvarasyeti vadāmastarhi yūyaṁ taṁ kuto na pratyaita? vācametāṁ vakṣyati|
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”
manuṣyasyeti vaktumapi lokebhyo bibhīmaḥ, yataḥ sarvvairapi yohan bhaviṣyadvādīti jñāyate|
27 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
tasmāt te yīśuṁ pratyavadan, tad vayaṁ na vidmaḥ| tadā sa tānuktavān, tarhi kena sāmarathyena karmmāṇyetānyahaṁ karomi, tadapyahaṁ yuṣmān na vakṣyāmi|
28 But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
kasyacijjanasya dvau sutāvāstāṁ sa ekasya sutasya samīpaṁ gatvā jagāda, he suta, tvamadya mama drākṣākṣetre karmma kartuṁ vraja|
29 ‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
tataḥ sa uktavān, na yāsyāmi, kintu śeṣe'nutapya jagāma|
30 Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.
anantaraṁ sonyasutasya samīpaṁ gatvā tathaiva kathtivān; tataḥ sa pratyuvāca, maheccha yāmi, kintu na gataḥ|
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.
etayoḥ putrayo rmadhye piturabhimataṁ kena pālitaṁ? yuṣmābhiḥ kiṁ budhyate? tataste pratyūcuḥ, prathamena putreṇa| tadānīṁ yīśustānuvāca, ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, caṇḍālā gaṇikāśca yuṣmākamagrata īśvarasya rājyaṁ praviśanti|
32 For John came to you in a righteous way and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
yato yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ yohani dharmmapathenāgate yūyaṁ taṁ na pratītha, kintu caṇḍālā gaṇikāśca taṁ pratyāyan, tad vilokyāpi yūyaṁ pratyetuṁ nākhidyadhvaṁ|
33 Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
aparamekaṁ dṛṣṭāntaṁ śṛṇuta, kaścid gṛhasthaḥ kṣetre drākṣālatā ropayitvā taccaturdikṣu vāraṇīṁ vidhāya tanmadhye drākṣāyantraṁ sthāpitavān, māñcañca nirmmitavān, tataḥ kṛṣakeṣu tat kṣetraṁ samarpya svayaṁ dūradeśaṁ jagāma|
34 When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.
tadanantaraṁ phalasamaya upasthite sa phalāni prāptuṁ kṛṣīvalānāṁ samīpaṁ nijadāsān preṣayāmāsa|
35 But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
kintu kṛṣīvalāstasya tān dāseyān dhṛtvā kañcana prahṛtavantaḥ, kañcana pāṣāṇairāhatavantaḥ, kañcana ca hatavantaḥ|
36 Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
punarapi sa prabhuḥ prathamato'dhikadāseyān preṣayāmāsa, kintu te tān pratyapi tathaiva cakruḥ|
37 Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
anantaraṁ mama sute gate taṁ samādariṣyante, ityuktvā śeṣe sa nijasutaṁ teṣāṁ sannidhiṁ preṣayāmāsa|
38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’
kintu te kṛṣīvalāḥ sutaṁ vīkṣya parasparam iti mantrayitum ārebhire, ayamuttarādhikārī vayamenaṁ nihatyāsyādhikāraṁ svavaśīkariṣyāmaḥ|
39 So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
paścāt te taṁ dhṛtvā drākṣākṣetrād bahiḥ pātayitvābadhiṣuḥ|
40 Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
yadā sa drākṣākṣetrapatirāgamiṣyati, tadā tān kṛṣīvalān kiṁ kariṣyati?
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”
tataste pratyavadan, tān kaluṣiṇo dāruṇayātanābhirāhaniṣyati, ye ca samayānukramāt phalāni dāsyanti, tādṛśeṣu kṛṣīvaleṣu kṣetraṁ samarpayiṣyati|
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
tadā yīśunā te gaditāḥ, grahaṇaṁ na kṛtaṁ yasya pāṣāṇasya nicāyakaiḥ| pradhānaprastaraḥ koṇe saeva saṁbhaviṣyati| etat pareśituḥ karmmāsmadṛṣṭāvadbhutaṁ bhavet| dharmmagranthe likhitametadvacanaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ kiṁ nāpāṭhi?
43 Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
tasmādahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yuṣmatta īśvarīyarājyamapanīya phalotpādayitranyajātaye dāyiṣyate|
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
yo jana etatpāṣāṇopari patiṣyati, taṁ sa bhaṁkṣyate, kintvayaṁ pāṣāṇo yasyopari patiṣyati, taṁ sa dhūlivat cūrṇīkariṣyati|
45 When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.
tadānīṁ prādhanayājakāḥ phirūśinaśca tasyemāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāṁ śrutvā so'smānuddiśya kathitavān, iti vijñāya taṁ dharttuṁ ceṣṭitavantaḥ;
46 Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
kintu lokebhyo bibhyuḥ, yato lokaiḥ sa bhaviṣyadvādītyajñāyi|
