< Matthew 12 >

1 At that time Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath. But His disciples became hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
anantaraṁ yīśu rviśrāmavāre śsyamadhyena gacchati, tadā tacchiṣyā bubhukṣitāḥ santaḥ śsyamañjarīśchatvā chitvā khāditumārabhanta|
2 And upon seeing it the Pharisees said to Him, “Hey, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath!”
tad vilokya phirūśino yīśuṁ jagaduḥ, paśya viśrāmavāre yat karmmākarttavyaṁ tadeva tava śiṣyāḥ kurvvanti|
3 But He said to them: “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and those who were with him,
sa tān pratyāvadata, dāyūd tatsaṅginaśca bubhukṣitāḥ santo yat karmmākurvvan tat kiṁ yuṣmābhi rnāpāṭhi?
4 how he entered the house of God and ate the loaves of presentation, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but only for the priests?
ye darśanīyāḥ pūpāḥ yājakān vinā tasya tatsaṅgimanujānāñcābhojanīyāsta īśvarāvāsaṁ praviṣṭena tena bhuktāḥ|
5 Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
anyacca viśrāmavāre madhyemandiraṁ viśrāmavārīyaṁ niyamaṁ laṅvantopi yājakā nirdoṣā bhavanti, śāstramadhye kimidamapi yuṣmābhi rna paṭhitaṁ?
6 Yet I say to you that a greater than the temple is here.
yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, atra sthāne mandirādapi garīyān eka āste|
7 If you had but known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
kintu dayāyāṁ me yathā prīti rna tathā yajñakarmmaṇi| etadvacanasyārthaṁ yadi yuyam ajñāsiṣṭa tarhi nirdoṣān doṣiṇo nākārṣṭa|
8 Furthermore, the Son of the Man is Lord of the Sabbath!”
anyacca manujasuto viśrāmavārasyāpi patirāste|
9 Now moving on from there He went into their synagogue.
anantaraṁ sa tatsthānāt prasthāya teṣāṁ bhajanabhavanaṁ praviṣṭavān, tadānīm ekaḥ śuṣkakarāmayavān upasthitavān|
10 And there was a man with a withered hand! And they asked Him saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him.
tato yīśum apavadituṁ mānuṣāḥ papracchuḥ, viśrāmavāre nirāmayatvaṁ karaṇīyaṁ na vā?
11 So He said to them: “What man will there be among you who has one sheep, and should this one fall into a ditch on the Sabbath, will he not lay hold of it and lift it out?
tena sa pratyuvāca, viśrāmavāre yadi kasyacid avi rgartte patati, tarhi yastaṁ ghṛtvā na tolayati, etādṛśo manujo yuṣmākaṁ madhye ka āste?
12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
ave rmānavaḥ kiṁ nahi śreyān? ato viśrāmavāre hitakarmma karttavyaṁ|
13 Then He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand!” And he stretched it out, and it was restored whole like the other.
anantaraṁ sa taṁ mānavaṁ gaditavān, karaṁ prasāraya; tena kare prasārite sonyakaravat svastho'bhavat|
14 But going out the Pharisees plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.
tadā phirūśino bahirbhūya kathaṁ taṁ haniṣyāma iti kumantraṇāṁ tatprātikūlyena cakruḥ|
15 So being aware, Jesus withdrew from there. And large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.
tato yīśustad viditvā sthanāntaraṁ gatavān; anyeṣu bahunareṣu tatpaścād gateṣu tān sa nirāmayān kṛtvā ityājñāpayat,
16 Yet He warned them not to make Him known,
yūyaṁ māṁ na paricāyayata|
17 so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, namely:
tasmāt mama prīyo manonīto manasastuṣṭikārakaḥ| madīyaḥ sevako yastu vidyate taṁ samīkṣatāṁ| tasyopari svakīyātmā mayā saṁsthāpayiṣyate| tenānyadeśajāteṣu vyavasthā saṁprakāśyate|
18 “Behold my Servant whom I chose, my Beloved in whom my soul is well pleased! I will put my Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice to the nations.
kenāpi na virodhaṁ sa vivādañca kariṣyati| na ca rājapathe tena vacanaṁ śrāvayiṣyate|
19 He will not quarrel nor cry-out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
vyavasthā calitā yāvat nahi tena kariṣyate| tāvat nalo vidīrṇo'pi bhaṁkṣyate nahi tena ca| tathā sadhūmavarttiñca na sa nirvvāpayiṣyate|
20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not quench, until He sends justice forth to victory.
pratyāśāñca kariṣyanti tannāmni bhinnadeśajāḥ|
21 And in His name Gentiles will trust.”
yānyetāni vacanāni yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktānyāsan, tāni saphalānyabhavan|
22 Then a demonized man was brought to Him, blind and mute, and He healed him, so that the A blind and B mute B spoke and A saw.
anantaraṁ lokai statsamīpam ānīto bhūtagrastāndhamūkaikamanujastena svasthīkṛtaḥ, tataḥ so'ndho mūko draṣṭuṁ vaktuñcārabdhavān|
23 And all the crowds were amazed and said, “Might this not be the Christ, the Son of David?”
anena sarvve vismitāḥ kathayāñcakruḥ, eṣaḥ kiṁ dāyūdaḥ santāno nahi?
24 But upon hearing it the Pharisees said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebul, ruler of the demons.”
kintu phirūśinastat śrutvā gaditavantaḥ, bālsibūbnāmno bhūtarājasya sāhāyyaṁ vinā nāyaṁ bhūtān tyājayati|
25 But knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
tadānīṁ yīśusteṣām iti mānasaṁ vijñāya tān avadat kiñcana rājyaṁ yadi svavipakṣād bhidyate, tarhi tat ucchidyate; yacca kiñcana nagaraṁ vā gṛhaṁ svavipakṣād vibhidyate, tat sthātuṁ na śaknoti|
26 So if Satan casts out Satan he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
tadvat śayatāno yadi śayatānaṁ bahiḥ kṛtvā svavipakṣāt pṛthak pṛthak bhavati, tarhi tasya rājyaṁ kena prakāreṇa sthāsyati?
27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
ahañca yadi bālsibūbā bhūtān tyājayāmi, tarhi yuṣmākaṁ santānāḥ kena bhūtān tyājayanti? tasmād yuṣmākam etadvicārayitārasta eva bhaviṣyanti|
28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
kintavahaṁ yadīśvarātmanā bhūtān tyājayāmi, tarhīśvarasya rājyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhimāgatavat|
29 Or how can anyone go into the house of the strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then he can plunder the house.
anyañca kopi balavanta janaṁ prathamato na badvvā kena prakāreṇa tasya gṛhaṁ praviśya taddravyādi loṭhayituṁ śaknoti? kintu tat kṛtvā tadīyagṛsya dravyādi loṭhayituṁ śaknoti|
30 “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
yaḥ kaścit mama svapakṣīyo nahi sa vipakṣīya āste, yaśca mayā sākaṁ na saṁgṛhlāti, sa vikirati|
31 Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven people.
ataeva yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, manujānāṁ sarvvaprakārapāpānāṁ nindāyāśca marṣaṇaṁ bhavituṁ śaknoti, kintu pavitrasyātmano viruddhanindāyā marṣaṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknoti|
32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of the Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in the present age nor in the next. (aiōn g165)
yo manujasutasya viruddhāṁ kathāṁ kathayati, tasyāparādhasya kṣamā bhavituṁ śaknoti, kintu yaḥ kaścit pavitrasyātmano viruddhāṁ kathāṁ kathayati nehaloke na pretya tasyāparādhasya kṣamā bhavituṁ śaknoti| (aiōn g165)
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for the tree is known by the fruit.
pādapaṁ yadi bhadraṁ vadatha, tarhi tasya phalamapi sādhu vaktavyaṁ, yadi ca pādapaṁ asādhuṁ vadatha, tarhi tasya phalamapyasādhu vaktavyaṁ; yataḥ svīyasvīyaphalena pādapaḥ paricīyate|
34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being malignant, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
re bhujagavaṁśā yūyamasādhavaḥ santaḥ kathaṁ sādhu vākyaṁ vaktuṁ śakṣyatha? yasmād antaḥkaraṇasya pūrṇabhāvānusārād vadanād vaco nirgacchati|
35 The good man out of the good reservoir brings forth good things, and the malignant man out of the malignant reservoir brings forth malignant things.
tena sādhurmānavo'ntaḥkaraṇarūpāt sādhubhāṇḍāgārāt sādhu dravyaṁ nirgamayati, asādhurmānuṣastvasādhubhāṇḍāgārād asādhuvastūni nirgamayati|
36 Furthermore, I say to you that for every useless word whatever that people may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of judgment.
kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, manujā yāvantyālasyavacāṁsi vadanti, vicāradine taduttaramavaśyaṁ dātavyaṁ,
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
yatastvaṁ svīyavacobhi rniraparādhaḥ svīyavacobhiśca sāparādho gaṇiṣyase|
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees reacted saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
tadānīṁ katipayā upādhyāyāḥ phirūśinaśca jagaduḥ, he guro vayaṁ bhavattaḥ kiñcana lakṣma didṛkṣāmaḥ|
39 But in answer He said to them: “A malignant and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
tadā sa pratyuktavān, duṣṭo vyabhicārī ca vaṁśo lakṣma mṛgayate, kintu bhaviṣyadvādino yūnaso lakṣma vihāyānyat kimapi lakṣma te na pradarśayiṣyante|
40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the sea monster, so will the Son of the Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
yato yūnam yathā tryahorātraṁ bṛhanmīnasya kukṣāvāsīt, tathā manujaputropi tryahorātraṁ medinyā madhye sthāsyati|
41 Ninevite men will arise with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and really, a greater than Jonah is here.
aparaṁ nīnivīyā mānavā vicāradina etadvaṁśīyānāṁ pratikūlam utthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyanti, yasmātte yūnasa upadeśāt manāṁsi parāvarttayāñcakrire, kintvatra yūnasopi gurutara eka āste|
42 The queen of the South will be raised with this generation at the judgment and she will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and really, a greater than Solomon is here.
punaśca dakṣiṇadeśīyā rājñī vicāradina etadvaṁśīyānāṁ pratikūlamutthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyati yataḥ sā rājñī sulemano vidyāyāḥ kathāṁ śrotuṁ medinyāḥ sīmna āgacchat, kintu sulemanopi gurutara eko jano'tra āste|
43 “Now when an unclean spirit [demon] goes out from a man, it goes through arid places looking for rest, but finds none.
aparaṁ manujād bahirgato 'pavitrabhūtaḥ śuṣkasthānena gatvā viśrāmaṁ gaveṣayati, kintu tadalabhamānaḥ sa vakti, yasmā; niketanād āgamaṁ, tadeva veśma pakāvṛtya yāmi|
44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from where I came.’ And coming it finds it unoccupied, swept and put in order.
paścāt sa tat sthānam upasthāya tat śūnyaṁ mārjjitaṁ śobhitañca vilokya vrajan svatopi duṣṭatarān anyasaptabhūtān saṅginaḥ karoti|
45 Then it goes and takes along with itself seven different spirits, more malignant than itself, and going in it dwells there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Just so it will be for this malignant generation also.”
tataste tat sthānaṁ praviśya nivasanti, tena tasya manujasya śeṣadaśā pūrvvadaśātotīvāśubhā bhavati, eteṣāṁ duṣṭavaṁśyānāmapi tathaiva ghaṭiṣyate|
46 But then, while He was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
mānavebhya etāsāṁ kathanāṁ kathanakāle tasya mātā sahajāśca tena sākaṁ kāñcit kathāṁ kathayituṁ vāñchanto bahireva sthitavantaḥ|
47 So someone said to Him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with you.”
tataḥ kaścit tasmai kathitavān, paśya tava jananī sahajāśca tvayā sākaṁ kāñcana kathāṁ kathayituṁ kāmayamānā bahistiṣṭhanti|
48 But in answer He said to the one who told Him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
kintu sa taṁ pratyavadat, mama kā jananī? ke vā mama sahajāḥ?
49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples He said: “Here are my mother and my brothers!
paścāt śiṣyān prati karaṁ prasāryya kathitavān, paśya mama jananī mama sahajāścaite;
50 For whoever does the will of my Father in the heavens, he is my brother and sister and mother.”
yaḥ kaścit mama svargasthasya pituriṣṭaṁ karmma kurute, saeva mama bhrātā bhaginī jananī ca|
