Matthew 9
1 Jesus got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town.
anantaraṁ yīśu rnaukāmāruhya punaḥ pāramāgatya nijagrāmam āyayau|
2 Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.”
tataḥ katipayā janā ekaṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ svaṭṭopari śāyayitvā tatsamīpam ānayan; tato yīśusteṣāṁ pratītiṁ vijñāya taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ jagāda, he putra, susthiro bhava, tava kaluṣasya marṣaṇaṁ jātam|
3 On seeing this, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming!”
tāṁ kathāṁ niśamya kiyanta upādhyāyā manaḥsu cintitavanta eṣa manuja īśvaraṁ nindati|
4 But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Why do you harbor evil in your hearts?
tataḥ sa teṣām etādṛśīṁ cintāṁ vijñāya kathitavān, yūyaṁ manaḥsu kṛta etādṛśīṁ kucintāṁ kurutha?
5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
tava pāpamarṣaṇaṁ jātaṁ, yadvā tvamutthāya gaccha, dvayoranayo rvākyayoḥ kiṁ vākyaṁ vaktuṁ sugamaṁ?
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
kintu medinyāṁ kaluṣaṁ kṣamituṁ manujasutasya sāmarthyamastīti yūyaṁ yathā jānītha, tadarthaṁ sa taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ gaditavān, uttiṣṭha, nijaśayanīyaṁ ādāya gehaṁ gaccha|
7 And the man got up and went home.
tataḥ sa tatkṣaṇād utthāya nijagehaṁ prasthitavān|
8 When the crowds saw this, they were filled with awe and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
mānavā itthaṁ vilokya vismayaṁ menire, īśvareṇa mānavāya sāmarthyam īdṛśaṁ dattaṁ iti kāraṇāt taṁ dhanyaṁ babhāṣire ca|
9 As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
anantaraṁ yīśustatsthānād gacchan gacchan karasaṁgrahasthāne samupaviṣṭaṁ mathināmānam ekaṁ manujaṁ vilokya taṁ babhāṣe, mama paścād āgaccha, tataḥ sa utthāya tasya paścād vavrāja|
10 Later, as Jesus was dining at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Him and His disciples.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśau gṛhe bhoktum upaviṣṭe bahavaḥ karasaṁgrāhiṇaḥ kaluṣiṇaśca mānavā āgatya tena sākaṁ tasya śiṣyaiśca sākam upaviviśuḥ|
11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
phirūśinastad dṛṣṭvā tasya śiṣyān babhāṣire, yuṣmākaṁ guruḥ kiṁ nimittaṁ karasaṁgrāhibhiḥ kaluṣibhiśca sākaṁ bhuṁkte?
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
yīśustat śrutvā tān pratyavadat, nirāmayalokānāṁ cikitsakena prayojanaṁ nāsti, kintu sāmayalokānāṁ prayojanamāste|
13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
ato yūyaṁ yātvā vacanasyāsyārthaṁ śikṣadhvam, dayāyāṁ me yathā prīti rna tathā yajñakarmmaṇi|yato'haṁ dhārmmikān āhvātuṁ nāgato'smi kintu manaḥ parivarttayituṁ pāpina āhvātum āgato'smi|
14 At that time John’s disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast so often, but Your disciples do not fast?”
anantaraṁ yohanaḥ śiṣyāstasya samīpam āgatya kathayāmāsuḥ, phirūśino vayañca punaḥ punarupavasāmaḥ, kintu tava śiṣyā nopavasanti, kutaḥ?
15 Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while He is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
tadā yīśustān avocat yāvat sakhīnāṁ saṁṅge kanyāyā varastiṣṭhati, tāvat kiṁ te vilāpaṁ karttuṁ śakluvanti? kintu yadā teṣāṁ saṁṅgād varaṁ nayanti, tādṛśaḥ samaya āgamiṣyati, tadā te upavatsyanti|
16 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. For the patch will pull away from the garment, and a worse tear will result.
purātanavasane kopi navīnavastraṁ na yojayati, yasmāt tena yojitena purātanavasanaṁ chinatti tacchidrañca bahukutsitaṁ dṛśyate|
17 Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
anyañca purātanakutvāṁ kopi navānagostanīrasaṁ na nidadhāti, yasmāt tathā kṛte kutū rvidīryyate tena gostanīrasaḥ patati kutūśca naśyati; tasmāt navīnāyāṁ kutvāṁ navīno gostanīrasaḥ sthāpyate, tena dvayoravanaṁ bhavati|
18 While Jesus was saying these things, a synagogue leader came and knelt before Him. “My daughter has just died,” he said. “But come and place Your hand on her, and she will live.”
aparaṁ tenaitatkathākathanakāle eko'dhipatistaṁ praṇamya babhāṣe, mama duhitā prāyeṇaitāvatkāle mṛtā, tasmād bhavānāgatya tasyā gātre hastamarpayatu, tena sā jīviṣyati|
19 So Jesus got up and went with him, along with His disciples.
tadānīṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sākam utthāya tasya paścād vavrāja|
20 Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.
ityanantare dvādaśavatsarān yāvat pradarāmayena śīrṇaikā nārī tasya paścād āgatya tasya vasanasya granthiṁ pasparśa;
21 She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed.”
yasmāt mayā kevalaṁ tasya vasanaṁ spṛṣṭvā svāsthyaṁ prāpsyate, sā nārīti manasi niścitavatī|
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take courage, daughter,” He said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was cured from that very hour.
tato yīśurvadanaṁ parāvarttya tāṁ jagāda, he kanye, tvaṁ susthirā bhava, tava viśvāsastvāṁ svasthāmakārṣīt| etadvākye gaditaeva sā yoṣit svasthābhūt|
23 When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader, He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.
aparaṁ yīśustasyādhyakṣasya gehaṁ gatvā vādakaprabhṛtīn bahūn lokān śabdāyamānān vilokya tān avadat,
24 “Go away,” He told them. “The girl is not dead, but asleep.” And they laughed at Him.
panthānaṁ tyaja, kanyeyaṁ nāmriyata nidritāste; kathāmetāṁ śrutvā te tamupajahasuḥ|
25 After the crowd had been put outside, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
kintu sarvveṣu bahiṣkṛteṣu so'bhyantaraṁ gatvā kanyāyāḥ karaṁ dhṛtavān, tena sodatiṣṭhat;
26 And the news about this spread throughout that region.
tatastatkarmmaṇo yaśaḥ kṛtsnaṁ taṁ deśaṁ vyāptavat|
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
tataḥ paraṁ yīśustasmāt sthānād yātrāṁ cakāra; tadā he dāyūdaḥ santāna, asmān dayasva, iti vadantau dvau janāvandhau procairāhūyantau tatpaścād vavrajatuḥ|
28 After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked. “Yes, Lord,” they answered.
tato yīśau gehamadhyaṁ praviṣṭaṁ tāvapi tasya samīpam upasthitavantau, tadānīṁ sa tau pṛṣṭavān karmmaitat karttuṁ mama sāmarthyam āste, yuvāṁ kimiti pratīthaḥ? tadā tau pratyūcatuḥ, satyaṁ prabho|
29 Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
tadānīṁ sa tayo rlocanāni spṛśan babhāṣe, yuvayoḥ pratītyanusārād yuvayo rmaṅgalaṁ bhūyāt| tena tatkṣaṇāt tayo rnetrāṇi prasannānyabhavan,
30 And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
paścād yīśustau dṛḍhamājñāpya jagāda, avadhattam etāṁ kathāṁ kopi manujo ma jānīyāt|
31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
kintu tau prasthāya tasmin kṛtsne deśe tasya kīrttiṁ prakāśayāmāsatuḥ|
32 As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus.
aparaṁ tau bahiryāta etasminnantare manujā ekaṁ bhūtagrastamūkaṁ tasya samīpam ānītavantaḥ|
33 And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
tena bhūte tyājite sa mūkaḥ kathāṁ kathayituṁ prārabhata, tena janā vismayaṁ vijñāya kathayāmāsuḥ, isrāyelo vaṁśe kadāpi nedṛgadṛśyata;
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that He drives out demons.”
kintu phirūśinaḥ kathayāñcakruḥ bhūtādhipatinā sa bhūtān tyājayati|
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśusteṣāṁ bhajanabhavana upadiśan rājyasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan lokānāṁ yasya ya āmayo yā ca pīḍāsīt, tān śamayan śamayaṁśca sarvvāṇi nagarāṇi grāmāṁśca babhrāma|
36 When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
anyañca manujān vyākulān arakṣakameṣāniva ca tyaktān nirīkṣya teṣu kāruṇikaḥ san śiṣyān avadat,
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
śasyāni pracurāṇi santi, kintu chettāraḥ stokāḥ|
38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”
kṣetraṁ pratyaparān chedakān prahetuṁ śasyasvāminaṁ prārthayadhvam|
