Matthew 27
1 When early morning came, all the chief priests and elders plotted against Jesus to kill Him.
prabhāte jāte pradhānayājakalokaprācīnā yīśuṁ hantuṁ tatpratikūlaṁ mantrayitvā
2 And having bound Him they went and handed Him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
taṁ badvvā nītvā pantīyapīlātākhyādhipe samarpayāmāsuḥ|
3 (Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, felt regret and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders
tato yīśoḥ parakarevvarpayitā yihūdāstatprāṇādaṇḍājñāṁ viditvā santaptamanāḥ pradhānayājakalokaprācīnānāṁ samakṣaṁ tāstrīṁśanmudrāḥ pratidāyāvādīt,
4 saying, “I sinned, by betraying innocent blood.” But they said: “What do we care? It's your problem!”
etannirāgonaraprāṇaparakarārpaṇāt kaluṣaṁ kṛtavānahaṁ| tadā ta uditavantaḥ, tenāsmākaṁ kiṁ? tvayā tad budhyatām|
5 So throwing the silver down in the sanctuary he left, and went and hanged himself!
tato yihūdā mandiramadhye tā mudrā nikṣipya prasthitavān itvā ca svayamātmānamudbabandha|
6 Then the chief priests took the coins and said, “It isn't lawful to put them into the treasury, being blood money.”
paścāt pradhānayājakāstā mudrā ādāya kathitavantaḥ, etā mudrāḥ śoṇitamūlyaṁ tasmād bhāṇḍāgāre na nidhātavyāḥ|
7 So after consultation they bought the potter's field with them, as a burial ground for strangers.
anantaraṁ te mantrayitvā videśināṁ śmaśānasthānāya tābhiḥ kulālasya kṣetramakrīṇan|
8 Therefore that field has been called ‘field of blood’ to this day.
ato'dyāpi tatsthānaṁ raktakṣetraṁ vadanti|
9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, namely: “And they took the thirty silver coins, the value of the one who was priced, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
itthaṁ sati isrāyelīyasantānai ryasya mūlyaṁ nirupitaṁ, tasya triṁśanmudrāmānaṁ mūlyaṁ
10 and they gave them for the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me.”)
māṁ prati parameśvarasyādeśāt tebhya ādīyata, tena ca kulālasya kṣetraṁ krītamiti yadvacanaṁ yirimiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktaṁ tat tadāsidhyat|
11 So Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him saying, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “As you say.”
anantaraṁ yīśau tadadhipateḥ sammukha upatiṣṭhati sa taṁ papraccha, tvaṁ kiṁ yihūdīyānāṁ rājā? tadā yīśustamavadat, tvaṁ satyamuktavān|
12 But although the chief priests and elders kept accusing Him, He answered nothing.
kintu pradhānayājakaprācīnairabhiyuktena tena kimapi na pratyavādi|
13 Then Pilate says to Him, “Don't you hear all that they are saying against you?”
tataḥ pīlātena sa uditaḥ, ime tvatpratikūlataḥ kati kati sākṣyaṁ dadati, tat tvaṁ na śṛṇoṣi?
14 But He did not answer him, not even one word, so that the governor was really amazed.
tathāpi sa teṣāmekasyāpi vacasa uttaraṁ noditavān; tena so'dhipati rmahācitraṁ vidāmāsa|
15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd, whomever they wanted.
anyacca tanmahakāle'dhipateretādṛśī rātirāsīt, prajā yaṁ kañcana bandhinaṁ yācante, tameva sa mocayatīti|
16 Just then they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
tadānīṁ barabbānāmā kaścit khyātabandhyāsīt|
17 So while they were assembled Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called Messiah?”
tataḥ pīlātastatra militān lokān apṛcchat, eṣa barabbā bandhī khrīṣṭavikhyāto yīśuścaitayoḥ kaṁ mocayiṣyāmi? yuṣmākaṁ kimīpsitaṁ?
18 For he knew that they had handed Him over through envy.
tairīrṣyayā sa samarpita iti sa jñātavān|
19 Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because I suffered a great deal in a dream today because of Him.”
aparaṁ vicārāsanopaveśanakāle pīlātasya patnī bhṛtyaṁ prahitya tasmai kathayāmāsa, taṁ dhārmmikamanujaṁ prati tvayā kimapi na karttavyaṁ; yasmāt tatkṛte'dyāhaṁ svapne prabhūtakaṣṭamalabhe|
20 But the chief priests and elders had persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, but destroy Jesus.
anantaraṁ pradhānayājakaprācīnā barabbāṁ yācitvādātuṁ yīśuñca hantuṁ sakalalokān prāvarttayan|
21 So the governor spoke up and said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” And they said, “Barabbas!”
tato'dhipatistān pṛṣṭavān, etayoḥ kamahaṁ mocayiṣyāmi? yuṣmākaṁ kecchā? te procu rbarabbāṁ|
22 Pilate says to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Messiah?” They all say to him, “Let Him be crucified!”
tadā pīlātaḥ papraccha, tarhi yaṁ khrīṣṭaṁ vadanti, taṁ yīśuṁ kiṁ kariṣyāmi? sarvve kathayāmāsuḥ, sa kruśena vidhyatāṁ|
23 So the governor said, “But, what evil did He do?” But they kept yelling all the more saying, “Let Him be crucified!”
tato'dhipatiravādīt, kutaḥ? kiṁ tenāparāddhaṁ? kintu te punarucai rjagaduḥ, sa kruśena vidhyatāṁ|
24 When Pilate saw that nothing was being gained but rather a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd saying: “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. It's your problem!”
tadā nijavākyamagrāhyamabhūt, kalahaścāpyabhūt, pīlāta iti vilokya lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ toyamādāya karau prakṣālyāvocat, etasya dhārmmikamanuṣyasya śoṇitapāte nirdoṣo'haṁ, yuṣmābhireva tad budhyatāṁ|
25 So in answer all the people said, “His blood be upon us and upon our children!”
tadā sarvvāḥ prajāḥ pratyavocan, tasya śoṇitapātāparādho'smākam asmatsantānānāñcopari bhavatu|
26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus, after flogging Him, he delivered to be crucified.
tataḥ sa teṣāṁ samīpe barabbāṁ mocayāmāsa yīśuntu kaṣābhirāhatya kruśena vedhituṁ samarpayāmāsa|
27 Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.
anantaram adhipateḥ senā adhipate rgṛhaṁ yīśumānīya tasya samīpe senāsamūhaṁ saṁjagṛhuḥ|
28 They stripped Him and put a scarlet cloak on Him.
tataste tasya vasanaṁ mocayitvā kṛṣṇalohitavarṇavasanaṁ paridhāpayāmāsuḥ
29 They plaited a crown out of thorns and put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and kneeling before Him they would mock Him saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
kaṇṭakānāṁ mukuṭaṁ nirmmāya tacchirasi daduḥ, tasya dakṣiṇakare vetramekaṁ dattvā tasya sammukhe jānūni pātayitvā, he yihūdīyānāṁ rājan, tubhyaṁ nama ityuktvā taṁ tiraścakruḥ,
30 Spitting on Him they took the reed and hit Him repeatedly on the head.
tatastasya gātre niṣṭhīvaṁ datvā tena vetreṇa śira ājaghnuḥ|
31 After they had mocked Him they took the cloak off Him and put His own clothes back on; and they led Him away to be crucified.
itthaṁ taṁ tiraskṛtya tad vasanaṁ mocayitvā punarnijavasanaṁ paridhāpayāñcakruḥ, taṁ kruśena vedhituṁ nītavantaḥ|
32 Now as they went out they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon; they compelled him to carry His cross.
paścātte bahirbhūya kurīṇīyaṁ śimonnāmakamekaṁ vilokya kruśaṁ voḍhuṁ tamādadire|
33 Upon arriving at a place called Golgotha, which means ‘place of a skull’,
anantaraṁ gulgaltām arthāt śiraskapālanāmakasthānamu pasthāya te yīśave pittamiśritāmlarasaṁ pātuṁ daduḥ,
34 they gave Him sour wine mixed with gall to drink; but having tasted it He would not drink.
kintu sa tamāsvādya na papau|
35 Having crucified Him they divided up His clothes by casting lots.
tadānīṁ te taṁ kruśena saṁvidhya tasya vasanāni guṭikāpātena vibhajya jagṛhuḥ, tasmāt, vibhajante'dharīyaṁ me te manuṣyāḥ parasparaṁ| maduttarīyavastrārthaṁ guṭikāṁ pātayanti ca||yadetadvacanaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktamāsīt, tadā tad asidhyat,
36 And sitting down there they guarded Him.
paścāt te tatropaviśya tadrakṣaṇakarvvaṇi niyuktāstasthuḥ|
37 And they put the charge against Him over His head in writing: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
aparam eṣa yihūdīyānāṁ rājā yīśurityapavādalipipatraṁ tacchirasa ūrdvve yojayāmāsuḥ|
38 Then they crucified two bandits with Him, one on His right and one on His left.
tatastasya vāme dakṣiṇe ca dvau cairau tena sākaṁ kruśena vividhuḥ|
39 And the passers-by kept blaspheming Him, wagging their heads
tadā pānthā nijaśiro lāḍayitvā taṁ nindanto jagaduḥ,
40 and saying: “You who destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself!” “If you are ‘Son of God’, come down from the cross!”
he īśvaramandirabhañjaka dinatraye tannirmmātaḥ svaṁ rakṣa, cettvamīśvarasutastarhi kruśādavaroha|
41 Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said:
pradhānayājakādhyāpakaprācīnāśca tathā tiraskṛtya jagaduḥ,
42 “He saved others; himself he cannot save!” “If he is ‘King of Israel’ let him come down from the cross now and we will believe him!”
so'nyajanānāvat, kintu svamavituṁ na śaknoti| yadīsrāyelo rājā bhavet, tarhīdānīmeva kruśādavarohatu, tena taṁ vayaṁ pratyeṣyāmaḥ|
43 “He trusted in God; let Him rescue him now, if He wants him; for he said, ‘I am God's Son.’”
sa īśvare pratyāśāmakarot, yadīśvarastasmin santuṣṭastarhīdānīmeva tamavet, yataḥ sa uktavān ahamīśvarasutaḥ|
44 Even the bandits who were crucified with Him were reviling Him in the same way.
yau stenau sākaṁ tena kruśena viddhau tau tadvadeva taṁ ninindatuḥ|
45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour a darkness came over all the land.
tadā dvitīyayāmāt tṛtīyayāmaṁ yāvat sarvvadeśe tamiraṁ babhūva,
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachtani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have You abandoned me?”
tṛtīyayāme "elī elī lāmā śivaktanī", arthāt madīśvara madīśvara kuto māmatyākṣīḥ? yīśuruccairiti jagāda|
47 So upon hearing it some of the bystanders said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
tadā tatra sthitāḥ kecit tat śrutvā babhāṣire, ayam eliyamāhūyati|
48 Right then one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed and started to give Him a drink;
teṣāṁ madhyād ekaḥ śīghraṁ gatvā spañjaṁ gṛhītvā tatrāmlarasaṁ dattvā nalena pātuṁ tasmai dadau|
49 but the rest said: “Don't! Let's see if Elijah comes to save Him.”
itare'kathayan tiṣṭhata, taṁ rakṣitum eliya āyāti naveti paśyāmaḥ|
50 Then Jesus called out again with a great shout and dismissed His spirit.
yīśuḥ punarucairāhūya prāṇān jahau|
51 And then, the veil of the temple was ripped in two from top to bottom! And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
tato mandirasya vicchedavasanam ūrdvvādadho yāvat chidyamānaṁ dvidhābhavat,
52 and the graves were opened. (And many bodies, of the saints who had fallen asleep, were raised;
bhūmiścakampe bhūdharovyadīryyata ca| śmaśāne mukte bhūripuṇyavatāṁ suptadehā udatiṣṭhan,
53 and coming forth out of the graves after His resurrection, they entered the holy city and were made visible to many.)
śmaśānād vahirbhūya tadutthānāt paraṁ puṇyapuraṁ gatvā bahujanān darśayāmāsuḥ|
54 Now when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that happened they were scared stiff and said, “This Man really was the Son of God!”
yīśurakṣaṇāya niyuktaḥ śatasenāpatistatsaṅginaśca tādṛśīṁ bhūkampādighaṭanāṁ dṛṣṭvā bhītā avadan, eṣa īśvaraputro bhavati|
55 Many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were also there looking on from a distance;
yā bahuyoṣito yīśuṁ sevamānā gālīlastatpaścādāgatāstāsāṁ madhye
56 among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
magdalīnī mariyam yākūbyośyo rmātā yā mariyam sibadiyaputrayo rmātā ca yoṣita etā dūre tiṣṭhantyo dadṛśuḥ|
57 Now at evening there appeared a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
sandhyāyāṁ satyam arimathiyānagarasya yūṣaphnāmā dhanī manujo yīśoḥ śiṣyatvāt
58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered that the body be given.
pīlātasya samīpaṁ gatvā yīśoḥ kāyaṁ yayāce, tena pīlātaḥ kāyaṁ dātum ādideśa|
59 So taking the body Joseph wrapped it in clean linen cloth
yūṣaph tatkāyaṁ nītvā śucivastreṇācchādya
60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb and left.
svārthaṁ śaile yat śmaśānaṁ cakhāna, tanmadhye tatkāyaṁ nidhāya tasya dvāri vṛhatpāṣāṇaṁ dadau|
61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.
kintu magdalīnī mariyam anyamariyam ete striyau tatra śmaśānasammukha upaviviśatuḥ|
62 The next day, which is after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees went together to Pilate
tadanantaraṁ nistārotsavasyāyojanadināt pare'hani pradhānayājakāḥ phirūśinaśca militvā pīlātamupāgatyākathayan,
63 saying: “Sir, we remember that that deceiver, while still alive, said, ‘After three days I am going to rise.’
he maheccha sa pratārako jīvana akathayat, dinatrayāt paraṁ śmaśānādutthāsyāmi tadvākyaṁ smarāmo vayaṁ;
64 Therefore command that the grave be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him and say to the people, ‘He was raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
tasmāt tṛtīyadinaṁ yāvat tat śmaśānaṁ rakṣitumādiśatu, nocet tacchiṣyā yāminyāmāgatya taṁ hṛtvā lokān vadiṣyanti, sa śmaśānādudatiṣṭhat, tathā sati prathamabhrānteḥ śeṣīyabhrānti rmahatī bhaviṣyati|
65 So Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go make it as secure as you can!”
tadā pīlāta avādīt, yuṣmākaṁ samīpe rakṣigaṇa āste, yūyaṁ gatvā yathā sādhyaṁ rakṣayata|
66 So they went and secured the grave with the guard, having sealed the stone.
tataste gatvā taddūrapāṣāṇaṁ mudrāṅkitaṁ kṛtvā rakṣigaṇaṁ niyojya śmaśānaṁ rakṣayāmāsuḥ|
