Matthew 15
1 Then they come to Jesus from Jerusalem—scribes and Pharisees—saying,
aparaṁ yirūśālamnagarīyāḥ katipayā adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca yīśoḥ samīpamāgatya kathayāmāsuḥ,
2 “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.”
tava śiṣyāḥ kimartham aprakṣālitakarai rbhakṣitvā paramparāgataṁ prācīnānāṁ vyavahāraṁ laṅvante?
3 And He answering said to them, “Why also do you transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
tato yīśuḥ pratyuvāca, yūyaṁ paramparāgatācāreṇa kuta īśvarājñāṁ laṅvadhve|
4 For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
īśvara ityājñāpayat, tvaṁ nijapitarau saṁmanyethāḥ, yena ca nijapitarau nindyete, sa niścitaṁ mriyeta;
5 but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—
kintu yūyaṁ vadatha, yaḥ svajanakaṁ svajananīṁ vā vākyamidaṁ vadati, yuvāṁ matto yallabhethe, tat nyavidyata,
6 and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
sa nijapitarau puna rna saṁmaṁsyate| itthaṁ yūyaṁ paramparāgatena sveṣāmācāreṇeśvarīyājñāṁ lumpatha|
7 Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
re kapaṭinaḥ sarvve yiśayiyo yuṣmānadhi bhaviṣyadvacanānyetāni samyag uktavān|
8 This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it honors Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
vadanai rmanujā ete samāyānti madantikaṁ| tathādharai rmadīyañca mānaṁ kurvvanti te narāḥ|
9 and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
kintu teṣāṁ mano matto vidūraeva tiṣṭhati| śikṣayanto vidhīn nrājñā bhajante māṁ mudhaiva te|
10 And having called near the multitude, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
tato yīśu rlokān āhūya proktavān, yūyaṁ śrutvā budhyadhbaṁ|
11 [it is] not that which is coming into the mouth [that] defiles the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defiles the man.”
yanmukhaṁ praviśati, tat manujam amedhyaṁ na karoti, kintu yadāsyāt nirgacchati, tadeva mānuṣamamedhyī karotī|
12 Then His disciples having come near, said to Him, “Have You known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?”
tadānīṁ śiṣyā āgatya tasmai kathayāñcakruḥ, etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā phirūśino vyarajyanta, tat kiṁ bhavatā jñāyate?
13 And He answering said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up;
sa pratyavadat, mama svargasthaḥ pitā yaṁ kañcidaṅkuraṁ nāropayat, sa utpāvdyate|
14 leave them alone, they are guides—blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
te tiṣṭhantu, te andhamanujānām andhamārgadarśakā eva; yadyandho'ndhaṁ panthānaṁ darśayati, tarhyubhau gartte patataḥ|
15 And Peter answering said to Him, “Explain to us this allegory.”
tadā pitarastaṁ pratyavadat, dṛṣṭāntamimamasmān bodhayatu|
16 And Jesus said, “Are you also yet without understanding?
yīśunā proktaṁ, yūyamadya yāvat kimabodhāḥ stha?
17 Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?
kathāmimāṁ kiṁ na budhyadhbe? yadāsyaṁ previśati, tad udare patan bahirniryāti,
18 But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;
kintvāsyād yanniryāti, tad antaḥkaraṇāt niryātatvāt manujamamedhyaṁ karoti|
19 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
yato'ntaḥkaraṇāt kucintā badhaḥ pāradārikatā veśyāgamanaṁ cairyyaṁ mithyāsākṣyam īśvaranindā caitāni sarvvāṇi niryyānti|
20 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
etāni manuṣyamapavitrī kurvvanti kintvaprakṣālitakareṇa bhojanaṁ manujamamedhyaṁ na karoti|
21 And Jesus having come forth from there, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
anantaraṁ yīśustasmāt sthānāt prasthāya sorasīdonnagarayoḥ sīmāmupatasyau|
22 and behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those borders, called to Him, saying, “Deal kindly with me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.”
tadā tatsīmātaḥ kācit kinānīyā yoṣid āgatya tamuccairuvāca, he prabho dāyūdaḥ santāna, mamaikā duhitāste sā bhūtagrastā satī mahākleśaṁ prāpnoti mama dayasva|
23 And He did not answer her a word; and His disciples having come to Him, were asking Him, saying, “Let her away, because she cries after us”;
kintu yīśustāṁ kimapi noktavān, tataḥ śiṣyā āgatya taṁ nivedayāmāsuḥ, eṣā yoṣid asmākaṁ paścād uccairāhūyāgacchati, enāṁ visṛjatu|
24 and He answering said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
tadā sa pratyavadat, isrāyelgotrasya hāritameṣān vinā kasyāpyanyasya samīpaṁ nāhaṁ preṣitosmi|
25 And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me”;
tataḥ sā nārīsamāgatya taṁ praṇamya jagāda, he prabho māmupakuru|
26 and He answering said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.”
sa uktavān, bālakānāṁ bhakṣyamādāya sārameyebhyo dānaṁ nocitaṁ|
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords’ table”;
tadā sā babhāṣe, he prabho, tat satyaṁ, tathāpi prabho rbhañcād yaducchiṣṭaṁ patati, tat sārameyāḥ khādanti|
28 then answering, Jesus said to her, “O woman, great [is] your faith, let it be to you as you will”; and her daughter was healed from that hour.
tato yīśuḥ pratyavadat, he yoṣit, tava viśvāso mahān tasmāt tava manobhilaṣitaṁ sidyyatu, tena tasyāḥ kanyā tasminneva daṇḍe nirāmayābhavat|
29 And having departed from there, Jesus came near to the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, He was sitting there,
anantaraṁ yīśastasmāt sthānāt prasthāya gālīlsāgarasya sannidhimāgatya dharādharamāruhya tatropaviveśa|
30 and there came to Him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them,
paścāt jananivaho bahūn khañcāndhamūkaśuṣkakaramānuṣān ādāya yīśoḥ samīpamāgatya taccaraṇāntike sthāpayāmāsuḥ, tataḥ sā tān nirāmayān akarot|
31 so that the multitudes wondered, seeing mute ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
itthaṁ mūkā vākyaṁ vadanti, śuṣkakarāḥ svāsthyamāyānti, paṅgavo gacchanti, andhā vīkṣante, iti vilokya lokā vismayaṁ manyamānā isrāyela īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ babhāṣire|
32 And Jesus having called near His disciples, said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they do not have what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.”
tadānīṁ yīśuḥ svaśiṣyān āhūya gaditavān, etajjananivaheṣu mama dayā jāyate, ete dinatrayaṁ mayā sākaṁ santi, eṣāṁ bhakṣyavastu ca kañcidapi nāsti, tasmādahametānakṛtāhārān na visrakṣyāmi, tathātve vartmamadhye klāmyeṣuḥ|
33 And His disciples say to Him, “From where to us in a wilderness [will we get] so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?”
tadā śiṣyā ūcuḥ, etasmin prāntaramadhya etāvato martyān tarpayituṁ vayaṁ kutra pūpān prāpsyāmaḥ?
34 And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes.”
yīśurapṛcchat, yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭe kati pūpā āsate? ta ūcuḥ, saptapūpā alpāḥ kṣudramīnāśca santi|
35 And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground,
tadānīṁ sa lokanivahaṁ bhūmāvupaveṣṭum ādiśya
36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, He broke, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples [gave] to the multitude.
tān saptapūpān mīnāṁśca gṛhlan īśvarīyaguṇān anūdya bhaṁktvā śiṣyebhyo dadau, śiṣyā lokebhyo daduḥ|
37 And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
tataḥ sarvve bhuktvā tṛptavantaḥ; tadavaśiṣṭabhakṣyeṇa saptaḍalakān paripūryya saṁjagṛhuḥ|
38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
te bhoktāro yoṣito bālakāṁśca vihāya prāyeṇa catuḥsahasrāṇi puruṣā āsan|
39 And having let away the multitudes, He went into the boat, and came to the borders of Magdala.
tataḥ paraṁ sa jananivahaṁ visṛjya tarimāruhya magdalāpradeśaṁ gatavān|
