John 7
1 After this, Jesus spent his time going from place to place in Galilee. He did not want to do so in Judea because the Jews were out to kill him.
tata. h para. m yihuudiiyalokaasta. m hantu. m samaihanta tasmaad yii"su ryihuudaaprade"se paryya. titu. m necchan gaaliil prade"se paryya. titu. m praarabhata|
2 But as it was almost time for the Jewish festival of the Tabernacles,
kintu tasmin samaye yihuudiiyaanaa. m duu. syavaasanaamotsava upasthite
3 his brothers told him, “You ought to leave and go to Judea so your followers will be able to see what miracles you can do.
tasya bhraatarastam avadan yaani karmmaa. ni tvayaa kriyante taani yathaa tava "si. syaa. h pa"syanti tadartha. m tvamita. h sthaanaad yihuudiiyade"sa. m vraja|
4 No one who wants to be famous keeps what they do hidden. If you can do such miracles, then show yourself to the world!”
ya. h ka"scit svaya. m pracikaa"si. sati sa kadaapi gupta. m karmma na karoti yadiid. r"sa. m karmma karo. si tarhi jagati nija. m paricaayaya|
5 For even his own brothers really didn't believe in him.
yatastasya bhraataropi ta. m na vi"svasanti|
6 Jesus told them, “This is not my time to go, not yet; but you can go whenever you want, for any time's the right time for you.
tadaa yii"sustaan avocat mama samaya idaanii. m nopati. s.thati kintu yu. smaaka. m samaya. h satatam upati. s.thati|
7 The world has no reason to hate you, but it does hate me, because I make it clear that its ways are evil.

8 You go on to the festival. I'm not going to this festival because this is not the right time for me, not yet.”

9 After saying this he stayed behind in Galilee.
iti vaakyam ukttvaa sa gaaliili sthitavaan
10 After his brothers left to go to the festival, Jesus also went, but not openly—he stayed out of sight.
kintu tasya bhraat. r.su tatra prasthite. su satsu so. apraka. ta utsavam agacchat|
11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were searching for him and kept on asking, “Where is he?”
anantaram utsavam upasthitaa yihuudiiyaasta. m m. rgayitvaap. rcchan sa kutra?
12 Many people in the crowds were complaining about him. Some said, “He's a good man,” while others argued, “No! He deceives people.”

13 But no one dared to speak openly about him because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do to them.
kintu yihuudiiyaanaa. m bhayaat kopi tasya pak. se spa. s.ta. m naakathayat|
14 When the festival was halfway through Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach.
tata. h param utsavasya madhyasamaye yii"su rmandira. m gatvaa samupadi"sati sma|
15 The Jewish leaders were very surprised, and asked, “How does this man have so much learning when he hasn't been educated?”
tato yihuudiiyaa lokaa aa"scaryya. m j naatvaakathayan e. saa maanu. so naadhiityaa katham etaad. r"so vidvaanabhuut?
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not from me but from the one who sent me.
tadaa yii"su. h pratyavocad upade"soya. m na mama kintu yo maa. m pre. sitavaan tasya|
17 Anyone who chooses to follow what God wants will know if my teaching comes from God or if I'm only speaking for myself.
yo jano nide"sa. m tasya grahii. syati mamopade"so matto bhavati kim ii"svaraad bhavati sa ganastajj naatu. m "sak. syati|
18 Those who speak for themselves want to glorify themselves, but someone who glorifies the one who sent him is truthful and not deceitful.
yo jana. h svata. h kathayati sa sviiya. m gauravam iihate kintu ya. h prerayitu rgauravam iihate sa satyavaadii tasmin kopyadharmmo naasti|
19 Moses gave you the law, didn't he? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why are you trying to kill me?”
muusaa yu. smabhya. m vyavasthaagrantha. m ki. m naadadaat? kintu yu. smaaka. m kopi taa. m vyavasthaa. m na samaacarati| maa. m hantu. m kuto yatadhve?
20 “You're demon-possessed!” the crowd replied. “No one's trying to kill you!”
tadaa lokaa avadan tva. m bhuutagrastastvaa. m hantu. m ko yatate?
21 “I did one miracle and you're all shocked by it,” Jesus replied.
tato yii"suravocad eka. m karmma mayaakaari tasmaad yuuya. m sarvva mahaa"scaryya. m manyadhve|
22 “However, because Moses told you to circumcise—not that it really came from Moses, but from your forefathers before him—you perform circumcision on the Sabbath.
muusaa yu. smabhya. m tvakchedavidhi. m pradadau sa muusaato na jaata. h kintu pit. rpuru. sebhyo jaata. h tena vi"sraamavaare. api maanu. saa. naa. m tvakcheda. m kurutha|
23 If you circumcise on the Sabbath to make sure that the law of Moses isn't broken, why are you angry with me for healing someone on the Sabbath?
ataeva vi"sraamavaare manu. syaa. naa. m tvakchede k. rte yadi muusaavyavasthaama"ngana. m na bhavati tarhi mayaa vi"sraamavaare maanu. sa. h sampuur. naruupe. na svastho. akaari tatkaara. naad yuuya. m ki. m mahya. m kupyatha?
24 Don't judge by appearances; decide what is right!”
sapak. sapaata. m vicaaramak. rtvaa nyaayya. m vicaara. m kuruta|
25 Then some of those from Jerusalem began wondering, “Isn't this the one they're trying to kill?
tadaa yiruu"saalam nivaasina. h katipayajanaa akathayan ime ya. m hantu. m ce. s.tante sa evaaya. m ki. m na?
26 But see how openly he's speaking, and they're saying nothing to him. Do you think the authorities believe he's the Messiah?
kintu pa"syata nirbhaya. h san kathaa. m kathayati tathaapi kimapi a vadantyete ayamevaabhi. siktto bhavatiiti ni"scita. m kimadhipatayo jaananti?
27 But that's not possible because we know where he comes from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he's from.”
manujoya. m kasmaadaagamad iti vaya. m jaanoma. h kintvabhi. siktta aagate sa kasmaadaagatavaan iti kopi j naatu. m na "sak. syati|
28 While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus called out in a loud voice, “So you think you know me and where I'm from? However, I did not come for my own sake. The one who sent me is true. You don't know him,
tadaa yii"su rmadhyemandiram upadi"san uccai. hkaaram ukttavaan yuuya. m ki. m maa. m jaaniitha? kasmaaccaagatosmi tadapi ki. m jaaniitha? naaha. m svata aagatosmi kintu ya. h satyavaadii saeva maa. m pre. sitavaan yuuya. m ta. m na jaaniitha|
29 but I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
tamaha. m jaane tenaaha. m prerita agatosmi|
30 So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come.
tasmaad yihuudiiyaasta. m dharttum udyataastathaapi kopi tasya gaatre hasta. m naarpayad yato hetostadaa tasya samayo nopati. s.thati|
31 However, many of the crowd did put their trust in him. “When the Messiah appears, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?” they said.
kintu bahavo lokaastasmin vi"svasya kathitavaanto. abhi. sikttapuru. sa aagatya maanu. sasyaasya kriyaabhya. h kim adhikaa aa"scaryyaa. h kriyaa. h kari. syati?
32 When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering this about him, they and the chief priests sent guards to arrest Jesus.

33 Then Jesus told the people, “I'll be with you just a little longer, but then I'll return to the one who sent me.
tato yii"suravadad aham alpadinaani yu. smaabhi. h saarddha. m sthitvaa matprerayitu. h samiipa. m yaasyaami|
34 You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going.”
maa. m m. rgayi. syadhve kintuudde"sa. m na lapsyadhve ratra sthaasyaami tatra yuuya. m gantu. m na "sak. syatha|
35 The Jews said to each other, “Where could he be going that we couldn't find him? Is he planning to go to those scattered among the foreigners, and teach the foreigners?
tadaa yihuudiiyaa. h paraspara. m vakttumaarebhire asyodde"sa. m na praapsyaama etaad. r"sa. m ki. m sthaana. m yaasyati? bhinnade"se vikiir. naanaa. m yihuudiiyaanaa. m sannidhim e. sa gatvaa taan upadek. syati ki. m?
36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going’?”
no cet maa. m gave. sayi. syatha kintuudde"sa. m na praapsyatha e. sa kod. r"sa. m vaakyamida. m vadati?
37 On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted out in a loud voice, “If you're thirsty, come to me and drink.
anantaram utsavasya carame. ahani arthaat pradhaanadine yii"surutti. s.than uccai. hkaaram aahvayan uditavaan yadi ka"scit t. r.saartto bhavati tarhi mamaantikam aagatya pivatu|
38 If you trust in me, you will have streams of life-giving water flowing out from within you, as Scripture says.”
ya. h ka"scinmayi vi"svasiti dharmmagranthasya vacanaanusaare. na tasyaabhyantarato. am. rtatoyasya srotaa. msi nirgami. syanti|
39 He was referring to the Spirit that those who trusted in him would later receive. The Spirit hadn't been given yet because Jesus hadn't yet been glorified.
ye tasmin vi"svasanti ta aatmaana. m praapsyantiityarthe sa ida. m vaakya. m vyaah. rtavaan etatkaala. m yaavad yii"su rvibhava. m na praaptastasmaat pavitra aatmaa naadiiyata|
40 When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This man is definitely the Prophet!”
etaa. m vaa. nii. m "srutvaa bahavo lokaa avadan ayameva ni"scita. m sa bhavi. syadvaadii|
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah!” Still others said, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?
kecid akathayan e. saeva sobhi. siktta. h kintu kecid avadan sobhi. siktta. h ki. m gaaliil prade"se jani. syate?
42 Doesn't Scripture say that the Messiah comes from David's lineage, and from David's home town of Bethlehem?”
sobhi. siktto daayuudo va. m"se daayuudo janmasthaane baitlehami pattane jani. syate dharmmagranthe kimittha. m likhita. m naasti?
43 So the crowd had a strong difference of opinion about him.
ittha. m tasmin lokaanaa. m bhinnavaakyataa jaataa|
44 Some wanted to arrest him, but nobody laid a hand on him.
katipayalokaasta. m dharttum aicchan tathaapi tadvapu. si kopi hasta. m naarpayat|
45 Then the guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees who asked them, “Why didn't you bring him in?”
anantara. m paadaatiga. ne pradhaanayaajakaanaa. m phiruu"sinaa nca samiipamaagatavati te taan ap. rcchan kuto hetosta. m naanayata?
46 “Nobody ever spoke like this man does,” the guards replied.
tadaa padaataya. h pratyavadan sa maanava iva kopi kadaapi nopaadi"sat|
47 “Have you been fooled too?” the Pharisees asked them.
tata. h phiruu"sina. h praavocan yuuyamapi kimabhraami. s.ta?
48 “Has a single one of the rulers or Pharisees believed in him? No!
adhipatiinaa. m phiruu"sinaa nca kopi ki. m tasmin vya"svasiit?
49 But this crowd that knows nothing about teachings of the law—they're damned anyway!”
ye "saastra. m na jaananti ta ime. adhamalokaaeva "saapagrastaa. h|
50 Nicodemus, who had previously gone to meet Jesus, was one of them and asked them,
tadaa nikadiimanaamaa te. saameko ya. h k. sa. nadaayaa. m yii"so. h sannidhim agaat sa ukttavaan
51 “Does our law condemn a man without a hearing and without finding out what he actually did?”
tasya vaakye na "srute karmma. ni ca na vidite. asmaaka. m vyavasthaa ki. m ka ncana manuja. m do. siikaroti?
52 “So you're a Galilean as well, are you?” they replied. “Check the Scriptures and you'll discover that no prophet comes from Galilee!”
tataste vyaaharan tvamapi ki. m gaaliiliiyaloka. h? vivicya pa"sya galiili kopi bhavi. syadvaadii notpadyate|
53 Then they all went home,
