< John 11 >

1 Now a certain man, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
anantaraṁ mariyam tasyā bhaginī marthā ca yasmin vaithanīyāgrāme vasatastasmin grāme iliyāsar nāmā pīḍita eka āsīt|
2 (It was the Mary who [later] anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped His feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
yā mariyam prabhuṁ sugandhitelaina marddayitvā svakeśaistasya caraṇau samamārjat tasyā bhrātā sa iliyāsar rogī|
3 So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love is sick!”
aparañca he prabho bhavān yasmin prīyate sa eva pīḍitostīti kathāṁ kathayitvā tasya bhaginyau preṣitavatyau|
4 Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
tadā yīśurimāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvākathayata pīḍeyaṁ maraṇārthaṁ na kintvīśvarasya mahimārtham īśvaraputrasya mahimaprakāśārthañca jātā|
5 (Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
yīśu ryadyapimarthāyāṁ tadbhaginyām iliyāsari cāprīyata,
6 So, when He heard that he was sick He stayed where He was two more days!
tathāpi iliyāsaraḥ pīḍāyāḥ kathaṁ śrutvā yatra āsīt tatraiva dinadvayamatiṣṭhat|
7 Then after this He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
tataḥ param sa śiṣyānakathayad vayaṁ puna ryihūdīyapradeśaṁ yāmaḥ|
8 The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and you are going back there?”
tataste pratyavadan, he guro svalpadināni gatāni yihūdīyāstvāṁ pāṣāṇai rhantum udyatāstathāpi kiṁ punastatra yāsyasi?
9 Jesus answered: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks during the day he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
yīśuḥ pratyavadat, ekasmin dine kiṁ dvādaśaghaṭikā na bhavanti? kopi divā gacchan na skhalati yataḥ sa etajjagato dīptiṁ prāpnoti|
10 But if anyone walks in the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
kintu rātrau gacchan skhalati yato hetostatra dīpti rnāsti|
11 Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.”
imāṁ kathāṁ kathayitvā sa tānavadad, asmākaṁ bandhuḥ iliyāsar nidritobhūd idānīṁ taṁ nidrāto jāgarayituṁ gacchāmi|
12 His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.”
yīśu rmṛtau kathāmimāṁ kathitavān kintu viśrāmārthaṁ nidrāyāṁ kathitavān iti jñātvā śiṣyā akathayan,
13 But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.
he guro sa yadi nidrāti tarhi bhadrameva|
14 So then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus died.
tadā yīśuḥ spaṣṭaṁ tān vyāharat, iliyāsar amriyata;
15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
kintu yūyaṁ yathā pratītha tadarthamahaṁ tatra na sthitavān ityasmād yuṣmannimittam āhlāditohaṁ, tathāpi tasya samīpe yāma|
16 Then Thomas (called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, “Let's us go too, so that we may die with Him.”
tadā thomā yaṁ didumaṁ vadanti sa saṅginaḥ śiṣyān avadad vayamapi gatvā tena sārddhaṁ mriyāmahai|
17 So when Jesus had come, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
yīśustatropasthāya iliyāsaraḥ śmaśāne sthāpanāt catvāri dināni gatānīti vārttāṁ śrutavān|
18 (Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
vaithanīyā yirūśālamaḥ samīpasthā krośaikamātrāntaritā;
19 and many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.)
tasmād bahavo yihūdīyā marthāṁ mariyamañca bhyātṛśokāpannāṁ sāntvayituṁ tayoḥ samīpam āgacchan|
20 Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting at home.
marthā yīśorāgamanavārtāṁ śrutvaiva taṁ sākṣād akarot kintu mariyam geha upaviśya sthitā|
21 Then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died.
tadā marthā yīśumavādat, he prabho yadi bhavān atrāsthāsyat tarhi mama bhrātā nāmariṣyat|
22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
kintvidānīmapi yad īśvare prārthayiṣyate īśvarastad dāsyatīti jāne'haṁ|
23 Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
yīśuravādīt tava bhrātā samutthāsyati|
24 Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
marthā vyāharat śeṣadivase sa utthānasamaye protthāsyatīti jāne'haṁ|
25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;
tadā yīśuḥ kathitavān ahameva utthāpayitā jīvayitā ca yaḥ kaścana mayi viśvasiti sa mṛtvāpi jīviṣyati;
26 and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
yaḥ kaścana ca jīvan mayi viśvasiti sa kadāpi na mariṣyati, asyāṁ kathāyāṁ kiṁ viśvasiṣi? (aiōn g165)
27 She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
sāvadat prabho yasyāvataraṇāpekṣāsti bhavān saevābhiṣiktta īśvaraputra iti viśvasimi|
28 Having said these things she went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling you!”
iti kathāṁ kathayitvā sā gatvā svāṁ bhaginīṁ mariyamaṁ guptamāhūya vyāharat gururupatiṣṭhati tvāmāhūyati ca|
29 Upon hearing it she gets up quickly and goes to Him.
kathāmimāṁ śrutvā sā tūrṇam utthāya tasya samīpam agacchat|
30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
yīśu rgrāmamadhyaṁ na praviśya yatra marthā taṁ sākṣād akarot tatra sthitavān|
31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”)
ye yihūdīyā mariyamā sākaṁ gṛhe tiṣṭhantastām asāntvayana te tāṁ kṣipram utthāya gacchantiṁ vilokya vyāharan, sa śmaśāne rodituṁ yāti, ityuktvā te tasyāḥ paścād agacchan|
32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died!”
yatra yīśuratiṣṭhat tatra mariyam upasthāya taṁ dṛṣṭvā tasya caraṇayoḥ patitvā vyāharat he prabho yadi bhavān atrāsthāsyat tarhi mama bhrātā nāmariṣyat|
33 So when Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
yīśustāṁ tasyāḥ saṅgino yihūdīyāṁśca rudato vilokya śokārttaḥ san dīrghaṁ niśvasya kathitavān taṁ kutrāsthāpayata?
34 And He said, “Where have you put him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
te vyāharan, he prabho bhavān āgatya paśyatu|
35 Jesus wept.
yīśunā kranditaṁ|
36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
ataeva yihūdīyā avadan, paśyatāyaṁ tasmin kidṛg apriyata|
37 But some of them said, “Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this one from dying?”
teṣāṁ kecid avadan yondhāya cakṣuṣī dattavān sa kim asya mṛtyuṁ nivārayituṁ nāśaknot?
38 Then, groaning within Himself again, Jesus arrived at the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
tato yīśuḥ punarantardīrghaṁ niśvasya śmaśānāntikam agacchat| tat śmaśānam ekaṁ gahvaraṁ tanmukhe pāṣāṇa eka āsīt|
39 Jesus says, “Remove the stone!” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks; it's been four days!”
tadā yīśuravadad enaṁ pāṣāṇam apasārayata, tataḥ pramītasya bhaginī marthāvadat prabho, adhunā tatra durgandho jātaḥ, yatodya catvāri dināni śmaśāne sa tiṣṭhati|
40 Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
tadā yīśuravādīt, yadi viśvasiṣi tarhīśvarasya mahimaprakāśaṁ drakṣyasi kathāmimāṁ kiṁ tubhyaṁ nākathayaṁ?
41 Then they took away the stone from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You heard me.
tadā mṛtasya śmaśānāt pāṣāṇo'pasārite yīśurūrdvvaṁ paśyan akathayat, he pita rmama nevesanam aśṛṇoḥ kāraṇādasmāt tvāṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
42 I know that You always hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”
tvaṁ satataṁ śṛṇoṣi tadapyahaṁ jānāmi, kintu tvaṁ māṁ yat prairayastad yathāsmin sthāne sthitā lokā viśvasanti tadartham idaṁ vākyaṁ vadāmi|
43 Upon saying these things He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
imāṁ kathāṁ kathayitvā sa proccairāhvayat, he iliyāsar bahirāgaccha|
44 And out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Loose him and let him go.”
tataḥ sa pramītaḥ śmaśānavastrai rbaddhahastapādo gātramārjanavāsasā baddhamukhaśca bahirāgacchat| yīśuruditavān bandhanāni mocayitvā tyajatainaṁ|
45 So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
mariyamaḥ samīpam āgatā ye yihūdīyalokāstadā yīśoretat karmmāpaśyan teṣāṁ bahavo vyaśvasan,
46 But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
kintu kecidanye phirūśināṁ samīpaṁ gatvā yīśoretasya karmmaṇo vārttām avadan|
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous signs;
tataḥ paraṁ pradhānayājakāḥ phirūśināśca sabhāṁ kṛtvā vyāharan vayaṁ kiṁ kurmmaḥ? eṣa mānavo bahūnyāścaryyakarmmāṇi karoti|
48 if we let him go on like this everybody will believe into him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation!”
yadīdṛśaṁ karmma karttuṁ na vārayāmastarhi sarvve lokāstasmin viśvasiṣyanti romilokāścāgatyāsmākam anayā rājadhānyā sārddhaṁ rājyam āchetsyanti|
49 But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: “You know nothing at all!
tadā teṣāṁ kiyaphānāmā yastasmin vatsare mahāyājakapade nyayujyata sa pratyavadad yūyaṁ kimapi na jānītha;
50 Nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation perish!”
samagradeśasya vināśatopi sarvvalokārtham ekasya janasya maraṇam asmākaṁ maṅgalahetukam etasya vivecanāmapi na kurutha|
51 (Now he did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation;
etāṁ kathāṁ sa nijabuddhyā vyāharad iti na,
52 and not only on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)
kintu yīśūstaddeśīyānāṁ kāraṇāt prāṇān tyakṣyati, diśi diśi vikīrṇān īśvarasya santānān saṁgṛhyaikajātiṁ kariṣyati ca, tasmin vatsare kiyaphā mahāyājakatvapade niyuktaḥ san idaṁ bhaviṣyadvākyaṁ kathitavān|
53 So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.
taddinamārabhya te kathaṁ taṁ hantuṁ śaknuvantīti mantraṇāṁ karttuṁ prārebhire|
54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and He stayed there with His disciples.
ataeva yihūdīyānāṁ madhye yīśuḥ saprakāśaṁ gamanāgamane akṛtvā tasmād gatvā prāntarasya samīpasthāyipradeśasyephrāyim nāmni nagare śiṣyaiḥ sākaṁ kālaṁ yāpayituṁ prārebhe|
55 Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
anantaraṁ yihūdīyānāṁ nistārotsave nikaṭavarttini sati tadutsavāt pūrvvaṁ svān śucīn karttuṁ bahavo janā grāmebhyo yirūśālam nagaram āgacchan,
56 So they were looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they were saying to each other, “What do you think—that he won't come to the feast at all?”
yīśoranveṣaṇaṁ kṛtvā mandire daṇḍāyamānāḥ santaḥ parasparaṁ vyāharan, yuṣmākaṁ kīdṛśo bodho jāyate? sa kim utsave'smin atrāgamiṣyati?
57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had together issued an edict that if anyone knew where He was he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
sa ca kutrāsti yadyetat kaścid vetti tarhi darśayatu pradhānayājakāḥ phirūśinaśca taṁ dharttuṁ pūrvvam imām ājñāṁ prācārayan|
