< Matthew 14 >

1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch, hearing of the fame of Jesus,
tadānīṁ rājā herod yīśo ryaśaḥ śrutvā nijadāseyān jagād,
2 said to his servants, This is John the Immerser; he is raised from the dead and therefore miracles are performed by him.
eṣa majjayitā yohan, pramitebhayastasyotthānāt tenetthamadbhutaṁ karmma prakāśyate|
3 For Herod had caused John to be apprehended, imprisoned, and bound, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
purā herod nijabhrātu: philipo jāyāyā herodīyāyā anurodhād yohanaṁ dhārayitvā baddhā kārāyāṁ sthāpitavān|
4 for John had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
yato yohan uktavān, etsayāḥ saṁgraho bhavato nocitaḥ|
5 And Herod would have put him to death, but was afraid of the populace, who accounted him a prophet.
tasmāt nṛpatistaṁ hantumicchannapi lokebhyo vibhayāñcakāra; yataḥ sarvve yohanaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaṁ menire|
6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company, and pleased Herod,
kintu herodo janmāhīyamaha upasthite herodīyāyā duhitā teṣāṁ samakṣaṁ nṛtitvā herodamaprīṇyat|
7 wherefore he swore he would grant her whatever she would ask.
tasmāt bhūpatiḥ śapathaṁ kurvvan iti pratyajñāsīt, tvayā yad yācyate, tadevāhaṁ dāsyāmi|
8 She being instigated by her mother, said, Give me here, in a basin, the head of John the Immerser.
sā kumārī svīyamātuḥ śikṣāṁ labdhā babhāṣe, majjayituryohana uttamāṅgaṁ bhājane samānīya mahyaṁ viśrāṇaya|
9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless, from a regard to his oath and his guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
tato rājā śuśoca, kintu bhojanāyopaviśatāṁ saṅgināṁ svakṛtaśapathasya cānurodhāt tat pradātuma ādideśa|
10 Accordingly John was beheaded in the prison by his order.
paścāt kārāṁ prati naraṁ prahitya yohana uttamāṅgaṁ chittvā
11 And his head was brought in a basin, and presented to the young woman; and she carried it to her mother.
tat bhājana ānāyya tasyai kumāryyai vyaśrāṇayat, tataḥ sā svajananyāḥ samīpaṁ tannināya|
12 After which, his disciples went and brought the body, and having buried it, came and told Jesus.
paścāt yohanaḥ śiṣyā āgatya kāyaṁ nītvā śmaśāne sthāpayāmāsustato yīśoḥ sannidhiṁ vrajitvā tadvārttāṁ babhāṣire|
13 When Jesus heard this, he embarked privately; and retired into a desert place; of which the people being informed followed him by land out of the cities.
anantaraṁ yīśuriti niśabhya nāvā nirjanasthānam ekākī gatavān, paścāt mānavāstat śrutvā nānānagarebhya āgatya padaistatpaścād īyuḥ|
14 Observing, as he landed, a great multitude, he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
tadānīṁ yīśu rbahirāgatya mahāntaṁ jananivahaṁ nirīkṣya teṣu kāruṇikaḥ man teṣāṁ pīḍitajanān nirāmayān cakāra|
15 Toward the evening, his disciples accosted him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past, dismiss the multitude, that they may go to the villages; and buy themselves provisions.
tataḥ paraṁ sandhyāyāṁ śiṣyāstadantikamāgatya kathayāñcakruḥ, idaṁ nirjanasthānaṁ velāpyavasannā; tasmāt manujān svasvagrāmaṁ gantuṁ svārthaṁ bhakṣyāṇi kretuñca bhavān tān visṛjatu|
16 Jesus answered, They need not go. Supply them yourselves.
kintu yīśustānavādīt, teṣāṁ gamane prayojanaṁ nāsti, yūyameva tān bhojayata|
17 They said to him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes.
tadā te pratyavadan, asmākamatra pūpapañcakaṁ mīnadvayañcāste|
18 He replied, Bring them hither to me.
tadānīṁ tenoktaṁ tāni madantikamānayata|
19 Then having commanded the people to recline upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking toward heaven, blessed them; then breaking the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and they distributed them among the people.
anantaraṁ sa manujān yavasoparyyupaveṣṭum ājñāpayāmāsa; apara tat pūpapañcakaṁ mīnadvayañca gṛhlan svargaṁ prati nirīkṣyeśvarīyaguṇān anūdya bhaṁktvā śiṣyebhyo dattavān, śiṣyāśca lokebhyo daduḥ|
20 When all had eat, and were satisfied, they carried off twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.
tataḥ sarvve bhuktvā paritṛptavantaḥ, tatastadavaśiṣṭabhakṣyaiḥ pūrṇān dvādaśaḍalakān gṛhītavantaḥ|
21 Now they that had eat were about five thousand men; besides women and children.
te bhoktāraḥ strīrbālakāṁśca vihāya prāyeṇa pañca sahasrāṇi pumāṁsa āsan|
22 Immediately he obliged the disciples to embark and pass over before him, while he dismissed the multitude.
tadanantaraṁ yīśu rlokānāṁ visarjanakāle śiṣyān taraṇimāroḍhuṁ svāgre pāraṁ yātuñca gāḍhamādiṣṭavān|
23 Having dismissed the multitude, he retired by himself to a mountain to pray, and remained there alone.
tato lokeṣu visṛṣṭeṣu sa vivikte prārthayituṁ girimekaṁ gatvā sandhyāṁ yāvat tatraikākī sthitavān|
24 By that time the bark was half way over, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
kintu tadānīṁ sammukhavātatvāt saritpate rmadhye taraṅgaistaraṇirdolāyamānābhavat|
25 In the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
tadā sa yāminyāścaturthaprahare padbhyāṁ vrajan teṣāmantikaṁ gatavān|
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, being terrified, they exclaimed, An apparition! and cried out for fear.
kintu śiṣyāstaṁ sāgaropari vrajantaṁ vilokya samudvignā jagaduḥ, eṣa bhūta iti śaṅkamānā uccaiḥ śabdāyāñcakrire ca|
27 Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is I, be not afraid.
tadaiva yīśustānavadat, susthirā bhavata, mā bhaiṣṭa, eṣo'ham|
28 Peter answering, said to him, If it be you, Master, bid me to come to you on the water.
tataḥ pitara ityuktavān, he prabho, yadi bhavāneva, tarhi māṁ bhavatsamīpaṁ yātumājñāpayatu|
29 Jesus said, Come. Then Peter getting out of the bark, walked on the water toward Jesus.
tataḥ tenādiṣṭaḥ pitarastaraṇito'varuhya yīśerantikaṁ prāptuṁ toyopari vavrāja|
30 But finding the wind boisterous, he was frightened; and beginning to sink, cried, Master, save me.
kintu pracaṇḍaṁ pavanaṁ vilokya bhayāt toye maṁktum ārebhe, tasmād uccaiḥ śabdāyamānaḥ kathitavān, he prabho, māmavatu|
31 Jesus instantly stretching out his hand, caught him; and said to him, Distrustful man, wherefore did you doubt?
yīśustatkṣaṇāt karaṁ prasāryya taṁ dharan uktavān, ha stokapratyayin tvaṁ kutaḥ samaśethāḥ?
32 When they had gone aboard, the wind ceased.
anantaraṁ tayostaraṇimārūḍhayoḥ pavano nivavṛte|
33 Then those in the bark came, and prostrated themselves before him, saying, You are assuredly God's son.
tadānīṁ ye taraṇyāmāsan, ta āgatya taṁ praṇabhya kathitavantaḥ, yathārthastvameveśvarasutaḥ|
34 Having passed over, they landed on the territory of Gennesaret;
anantaraṁ pāraṁ prāpya te gineṣarannāmakaṁ nagaramupatasthuḥ,
35 the inhabitants of which knowing him, sent through all that country, and brought to him all the diseased,
tadā tatratyā janā yīśuṁ paricīya taddeśsya caturdiśo vārttāṁ prahitya yatra yāvantaḥ pīḍitā āsan, tāvataeva tadantikamānayāmāsuḥ|
36 who besought him to let them touch but a tuft of his mantle; and as man as touched were cured.
aparaṁ tadīyavasanasya granthimātraṁ spraṣṭuṁ vinīya yāvanto janāstat sparśaṁ cakrire, te sarvvaeva nirāmayā babhūvuḥ|
