< John 7 >

1 After these things Jesus continued to move about in Galilee, since He did not wish to move about in Judea because the Jews were wanting to kill Him.
tataḥ paraṁ yihūdīyalokāstaṁ hantuṁ samaihanta tasmād yīśu ryihūdāpradeśe paryyaṭituṁ necchan gālīl pradeśe paryyaṭituṁ prārabhata|
2 Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was near.
kintu tasmin samaye yihūdīyānāṁ dūṣyavāsanāmotsava upasthite
3 So His brothers said to Him: “Leave here and go up into Judea so your disciples also may see the works that you are doing,
tasya bhrātarastam avadan yāni karmmāṇi tvayā kriyante tāni yathā tava śiṣyāḥ paśyanti tadarthaṁ tvamitaḥ sthānād yihūdīyadeśaṁ vraja|
4 because no one does anything in secret while he actually wants to be in evidence. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world!”
yaḥ kaścit svayaṁ pracikāśiṣati sa kadāpi guptaṁ karmma na karoti yadīdṛśaṁ karmma karoṣi tarhi jagati nijaṁ paricāyaya|
5 For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
yatastasya bhrātaropi taṁ na viśvasanti|
6 So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
tadā yīśustān avocat mama samaya idānīṁ nopatiṣṭhati kintu yuṣmākaṁ samayaḥ satatam upatiṣṭhati|
7 The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
jagato lokā yuṣmān ṛtīyituṁ na śakruvanti kintu māmeva ṛtīyante yatasteṣāṁ karmāṇi duṣṭāni tatra sākṣyamidam ahaṁ dadāmi|
8 You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
ataeva yūyam utsave'smin yāta nāham idānīm asminnutsave yāmi yato mama samaya idānīṁ na sampūrṇaḥ|
9 So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
iti vākyam ukttvā sa gālīli sthitavān
10 Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
kintu tasya bhrātṛṣu tatra prasthiteṣu satsu so'prakaṭa utsavam agacchat|
11 So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
anantaram utsavam upasthitā yihūdīyāstaṁ mṛgayitvāpṛcchan sa kutra?
12 And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
tato lokānāṁ madhye tasmin nānāvidhā vivādā bhavitum ārabdhavantaḥ| kecid avocan sa uttamaḥ puruṣaḥ kecid avocan na tathā varaṁ lokānāṁ bhramaṁ janayati|
13 However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
kintu yihūdīyānāṁ bhayāt kopi tasya pakṣe spaṣṭaṁ nākathayat|
14 Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
tataḥ param utsavasya madhyasamaye yīśu rmandiraṁ gatvā samupadiśati sma|
15 And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
tato yihūdīyā lokā āścaryyaṁ jñātvākathayan eṣā mānuṣo nādhītyā katham etādṛśo vidvānabhūt?
16 So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavocad upadeśoyaṁ na mama kintu yo māṁ preṣitavān tasya|
17 If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
yo jano nideśaṁ tasya grahīṣyati mamopadeśo matto bhavati kim īśvarād bhavati sa ganastajjñātuṁ śakṣyati|
18 Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
yo janaḥ svataḥ kathayati sa svīyaṁ gauravam īhate kintu yaḥ prerayitu rgauravam īhate sa satyavādī tasmin kopyadharmmo nāsti|
19 “Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
mūsā yuṣmabhyaṁ vyavasthāgranthaṁ kiṁ nādadāt? kintu yuṣmākaṁ kopi tāṁ vyavasthāṁ na samācarati| māṁ hantuṁ kuto yatadhve?
20 The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
tadā lokā avadan tvaṁ bhūtagrastastvāṁ hantuṁ ko yatate?
21 Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
tato yīśuravocad ekaṁ karmma mayākāri tasmād yūyaṁ sarvva mahāścaryyaṁ manyadhve|
22 Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
mūsā yuṣmabhyaṁ tvakchedavidhiṁ pradadau sa mūsāto na jātaḥ kintu pitṛpuruṣebhyo jātaḥ tena viśrāmavāre'pi mānuṣāṇāṁ tvakchedaṁ kurutha|
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
ataeva viśrāmavāre manuṣyāṇāṁ tvakchede kṛte yadi mūsāvyavasthāmaṅganaṁ na bhavati tarhi mayā viśrāmavāre mānuṣaḥ sampūrṇarūpeṇa svastho'kāri tatkāraṇād yūyaṁ kiṁ mahyaṁ kupyatha?
24 Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
sapakṣapātaṁ vicāramakṛtvā nyāyyaṁ vicāraṁ kuruta|
25 Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?
tadā yirūśālam nivāsinaḥ katipayajanā akathayan ime yaṁ hantuṁ ceṣṭante sa evāyaṁ kiṁ na?
26 Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?
kintu paśyata nirbhayaḥ san kathāṁ kathayati tathāpi kimapi a vadantyete ayamevābhiṣiktto bhavatīti niścitaṁ kimadhipatayo jānanti?
27 On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”
manujoyaṁ kasmādāgamad iti vayaṁ jānomaḥ kintvabhiṣiktta āgate sa kasmādāgatavān iti kopi jñātuṁ na śakṣyati|
28 So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
tadā yīśu rmadhyemandiram upadiśan uccaiḥkāram ukttavān yūyaṁ kiṁ māṁ jānītha? kasmāccāgatosmi tadapi kiṁ jānītha? nāhaṁ svata āgatosmi kintu yaḥ satyavādī saeva māṁ preṣitavān yūyaṁ taṁ na jānītha|
29 I do know Him because I am from Him, and He sent me.”
tamahaṁ jāne tenāhaṁ prerita agatosmi|
30 So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.
tasmād yihūdīyāstaṁ dharttum udyatāstathāpi kopi tasya gātre hastaṁ nārpayad yato hetostadā tasya samayo nopatiṣṭhati|
31 Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”
kintu bahavo lokāstasmin viśvasya kathitavānto'bhiṣikttapuruṣa āgatya mānuṣasyāsya kriyābhyaḥ kim adhikā āścaryyāḥ kriyāḥ kariṣyati?
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, so the Pharisees and the chief priests sent operatives to arrest Him.
tataḥ paraṁ lokāstasmin itthaṁ vivadante phirūśinaḥ pradhānayājakāñceti śrutavantastaṁ dhṛtvā netuṁ padātigaṇaṁ preṣayāmāsuḥ|
33 Then Jesus said: “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me.
tato yīśuravadad aham alpadināni yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ sthitvā matprerayituḥ samīpaṁ yāsyāmi|
34 You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come.”
māṁ mṛgayiṣyadhve kintūddeśaṁ na lapsyadhve ratra sthāsyāmi tatra yūyaṁ gantuṁ na śakṣyatha|
35 So the Jews said among themselves: “Where does this fellow intend to go that we won't find him? He doesn't intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does he?
tadā yihūdīyāḥ parasparaṁ vakttumārebhire asyoddeśaṁ na prāpsyāma etādṛśaṁ kiṁ sthānaṁ yāsyati? bhinnadeśe vikīrṇānāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ sannidhim eṣa gatvā tān upadekṣyati kiṁ?
36 What word is this that he spoke, ‘You will look for me and not find me’; also, ‘where I am you cannot come’?”
no cet māṁ gaveṣayiṣyatha kintūddeśaṁ na prāpsyatha eṣa kodṛśaṁ vākyamidaṁ vadati?
37 Now on the last and most important day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and called out saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
anantaram utsavasya carame'hani arthāt pradhānadine yīśuruttiṣṭhan uccaiḥkāram āhvayan uditavān yadi kaścit tṛṣārtto bhavati tarhi mamāntikam āgatya pivatu|
38 The one believing into me, just as the Scripture has said, out from his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.”
yaḥ kaścinmayi viśvasiti dharmmagranthasya vacanānusāreṇa tasyābhyantarato'mṛtatoyasya srotāṁsi nirgamiṣyanti|
39 (Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those believing into Him were going to receive, in that the Holy Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)
ye tasmin viśvasanti ta ātmānaṁ prāpsyantītyarthe sa idaṁ vākyaṁ vyāhṛtavān etatkālaṁ yāvad yīśu rvibhavaṁ na prāptastasmāt pavitra ātmā nādīyata|
40 So upon hearing this word many from the crowd began to say, “This One really is ‘the Prophet’!”
etāṁ vāṇīṁ śrutvā bahavo lokā avadan ayameva niścitaṁ sa bhaviṣyadvādī|
41 Others were saying, “This One is the Christ!” Others were saying: “Surely the Christ isn't coming out of Galilee, is He?
kecid akathayan eṣaeva sobhiṣikttaḥ kintu kecid avadan sobhiṣikttaḥ kiṁ gālīl pradeśe janiṣyate?
42 Doesn't the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”
sobhiṣiktto dāyūdo vaṁśe dāyūdo janmasthāne baitlehami pattane janiṣyate dharmmagranthe kimitthaṁ likhitaṁ nāsti?
43 So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.
itthaṁ tasmin lokānāṁ bhinnavākyatā jātā|
44 Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
katipayalokāstaṁ dharttum aicchan tathāpi tadvapuṣi kopi hastaṁ nārpayat|
45 Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”
anantaraṁ pādātigaṇe pradhānayājakānāṁ phirūśināñca samīpamāgatavati te tān apṛcchan kuto hetostaṁ nānayata?
46 The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
tadā padātayaḥ pratyavadan sa mānava iva kopi kadāpi nopādiśat|
47 So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?
tataḥ phirūśinaḥ prāvocan yūyamapi kimabhrāmiṣṭa?
48 None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?
adhipatīnāṁ phirūśināñca kopi kiṁ tasmin vyaśvasīt?
49 But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”
ye śāstraṁ na jānanti ta ime'dhamalokāeva śāpagrastāḥ|
50 Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,
tadā nikadīmanāmā teṣāmeko yaḥ kṣaṇadāyāṁ yīśoḥ sannidhim agāt sa ukttavān
51 “Our law doesn't judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing, does it?”
tasya vākye na śrute karmmaṇi ca na vidite 'smākaṁ vyavasthā kiṁ kañcana manujaṁ doṣīkaroti?
52 They answered and said to him: “You aren't from Galilee too, are you? Search and see that no prophet has ever arisen out of Galilee.”
tataste vyāharan tvamapi kiṁ gālīlīyalokaḥ? vivicya paśya galīli kopi bhaviṣyadvādī notpadyate|
53 So each one went to his own house.
tataḥ paraṁ sarvve svaṁ svaṁ gṛhaṁ gatāḥ kintu yīśu rjaitunanāmānaṁ śiloccayaṁ gatavān|
