< John 7 >

1 After these things, Yeshua [Salvation] was walking in Galilee [District, Circuit], for he would not walk in Judea [Praise], because the Jews [Praisers] sought to kill him.
tataH paraM yihUdIyalokAstaM hantuM samaihanta tasmAd yIzu ryihUdApradeze paryyaTituM necchan gAlIl pradeze paryyaTituM prArabhata|
2 Now the festival of Sukkot ·Tabernacles·, the Festival of Booths, was at hand. (The seventh month 15th day).
kintu tasmin samaye yihUdIyAnAM dUSyavAsanAmotsava upasthite
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea [Praise], that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
tasya bhrAtarastam avadan yAni karmmANi tvayA kriyante tAni yathA tava ziSyAH pazyanti tadarthaM tvamitaH sthAnAd yihUdIyadezaM vraja|
4 For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
yaH kazcit svayaM pracikAziSati sa kadApi guptaM karmma na karoti yadIdRzaM karmma karoSi tarhi jagati nijaM paricAyaya|
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
yatastasya bhrAtaropi taM na vizvasanti|
6 Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
tadA yIzustAn avocat mama samaya idAnIM nopatiSThati kintu yuSmAkaM samayaH satatam upatiSThati|
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
jagato lokA yuSmAn RtIyituM na zakruvanti kintu mAmeva RtIyante yatasteSAM karmANi duSTAni tatra sAkSyamidam ahaM dadAmi|
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
ataeva yUyam utsave'smin yAta nAham idAnIm asminnutsave yAmi yato mama samaya idAnIM na sampUrNaH|
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee [District, Circuit].
iti vAkyam ukttvA sa gAlIli sthitavAn
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
kintu tasya bhrAtRSu tatra prasthiteSu satsu so'prakaTa utsavam agacchat|
11 The Jews [Praisers] therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
anantaram utsavam upasthitA yihUdIyAstaM mRgayitvApRcchan sa kutra?
12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
tato lokAnAM madhye tasmin nAnAvidhA vivAdA bhavitum ArabdhavantaH| kecid avocan sa uttamaH puruSaH kecid avocan na tathA varaM lokAnAM bhramaM janayati|
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews [Praisers].
kintu yihUdIyAnAM bhayAt kopi tasya pakSe spaSTaM nAkathayat|
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua [Salvation] went up into the temple and taught.
tataH param utsavasya madhyasamaye yIzu rmandiraM gatvA samupadizati sma|
15 The Jews [Praisers] therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much, without having studied?”
tato yihUdIyA lokA AzcaryyaM jJAtvAkathayan eSA mAnuSo nAdhItyA katham etAdRzo vidvAnabhUt?
16 Yeshua [Salvation] therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
tadA yIzuH pratyavocad upadezoyaM na mama kintu yo mAM preSitavAn tasya|
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
yo jano nidezaM tasya grahISyati mamopadezo matto bhavati kim IzvarAd bhavati sa ganastajjJAtuM zakSyati|
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
yo janaH svataH kathayati sa svIyaM gauravam Ihate kintu yaH prerayitu rgauravam Ihate sa satyavAdI tasmin kopyadharmmo nAsti|
19 Didn’t Moses [Drawn out] give you the Torah ·Teaching·? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why do you seek to kill me?”
mUsA yuSmabhyaM vyavasthAgranthaM kiM nAdadAt? kintu yuSmAkaM kopi tAM vyavasthAM na samAcarati| mAM hantuM kuto yatadhve?
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
tadA lokA avadan tvaM bhUtagrastastvAM hantuM ko yatate?
21 Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
tato yIzuravocad ekaM karmma mayAkAri tasmAd yUyaM sarvva mahAzcaryyaM manyadhve|
22 Moses [Drawn out] has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses [Drawn out], but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath ·To cease· you circumcise a boy.
mUsA yuSmabhyaM tvakchedavidhiM pradadau sa mUsAto na jAtaH kintu pitRpuruSebhyo jAtaH tena vizrAmavAre'pi mAnuSANAM tvakchedaM kurutha|
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath ·To cease·, that the Torah ·Teaching· of Moses [Drawn out] may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath ·To cease·?
ataeva vizrAmavAre manuSyANAM tvakchede kRte yadi mUsAvyavasthAmaGganaM na bhavati tarhi mayA vizrAmavAre mAnuSaH sampUrNarUpeNa svastho'kAri tatkAraNAd yUyaM kiM mahyaM kupyatha?
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge upright judgment.”
sapakSapAtaM vicAramakRtvA nyAyyaM vicAraM kuruta|
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem [City of peace] said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
tadA yirUzAlam nivAsinaH katipayajanA akathayan ime yaM hantuM ceSTante sa evAyaM kiM na?
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah [Anointed one]?
kintu pazyata nirbhayaH san kathAM kathayati tathApi kimapi a vadantyete ayamevAbhiSiktto bhavatIti nizcitaM kimadhipatayo jAnanti?
27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
manujoyaM kasmAdAgamad iti vayaM jAnomaH kintvabhiSiktta Agate sa kasmAdAgatavAn iti kopi jJAtuM na zakSyati|
28 Yeshua [Salvation] therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
tadA yIzu rmadhyemandiram upadizan uccaiHkAram ukttavAn yUyaM kiM mAM jAnItha? kasmAccAgatosmi tadapi kiM jAnItha? nAhaM svata Agatosmi kintu yaH satyavAdI saeva mAM preSitavAn yUyaM taM na jAnItha|
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
tamahaM jAne tenAhaM prerita agatosmi|
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
tasmAd yihUdIyAstaM dharttum udyatAstathApi kopi tasya gAtre hastaM nArpayad yato hetostadA tasya samayo nopatiSThati|
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
kintu bahavo lokAstasmin vizvasya kathitavAnto'bhiSikttapuruSa Agatya mAnuSasyAsya kriyAbhyaH kim adhikA AzcaryyAH kriyAH kariSyati?
32 The Pharisees [Separated] heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] sent officers to arrest him.
tataH paraM lokAstasmin itthaM vivadante phirUzinaH pradhAnayAjakAJceti zrutavantastaM dhRtvA netuM padAtigaNaM preSayAmAsuH|
33 Then Yeshua [Salvation] said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
tato yIzuravadad aham alpadinAni yuSmAbhiH sArddhaM sthitvA matprerayituH samIpaM yAsyAmi|
34 You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”
mAM mRgayiSyadhve kintUddezaM na lapsyadhve ratra sthAsyAmi tatra yUyaM gantuM na zakSyatha|
35 The Jews [Praisers] therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
tadA yihUdIyAH parasparaM vakttumArebhire asyoddezaM na prApsyAma etAdRzaM kiM sthAnaM yAsyati? bhinnadeze vikIrNAnAM yihUdIyAnAM sannidhim eSa gatvA tAn upadekSyati kiM?
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’?”
no cet mAM gaveSayiSyatha kintUddezaM na prApsyatha eSa kodRzaM vAkyamidaM vadati?
37 Now on the last day of the festival (of Tabernacles, the seventh day called Hoshana Rabbah ·Save now Great·, the seventh month 21st day), Yeshua [Salvation] stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
anantaram utsavasya carame'hani arthAt pradhAnadine yIzuruttiSThan uccaiHkAram Ahvayan uditavAn yadi kazcit tRSArtto bhavati tarhi mamAntikam Agatya pivatu|
38 Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being!”
yaH kazcinmayi vizvasiti dharmmagranthasya vacanAnusAreNa tasyAbhyantarato'mRtatoyasya srotAMsi nirgamiSyanti|
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those trusting in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua [Salvation] was not yet glorified.
ye tasmin vizvasanti ta AtmAnaM prApsyantItyarthe sa idaM vAkyaM vyAhRtavAn etatkAlaM yAvad yIzu rvibhavaM na prAptastasmAt pavitra AtmA nAdIyata|
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
etAM vANIM zrutvA bahavo lokA avadan ayameva nizcitaM sa bhaviSyadvAdI|
41 Others said, “This is the Messiah [Anointed one].” But some said, “What, does the Messiah [Anointed one] come out of Galilee [District, Circuit]?
kecid akathayan eSaeva sobhiSikttaH kintu kecid avadan sobhiSikttaH kiM gAlIl pradeze janiSyate?
42 Has not the Scripture said that the Messiah [Anointed one] comes of the offspring of David [Beloved], and from Bethlehem [House of Bread], the village where David [Beloved] lived?”
sobhiSiktto dAyUdo vaMze dAyUdo janmasthAne baitlehami pattane janiSyate dharmmagranthe kimitthaM likhitaM nAsti?
43 So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
itthaM tasmin lokAnAM bhinnavAkyatA jAtA|
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
katipayalokAstaM dharttum aicchan tathApi tadvapuSi kopi hastaM nArpayat|
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees [Separated], and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
anantaraM pAdAtigaNe pradhAnayAjakAnAM phirUzinAJca samIpamAgatavati te tAn apRcchan kuto hetostaM nAnayata?
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
tadA padAtayaH pratyavadan sa mAnava iva kopi kadApi nopAdizat|
47 The Pharisees [Separated] therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?
tataH phirUzinaH prAvocan yUyamapi kimabhrAmiSTa?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees [Separated]?
adhipatInAM phirUzinAJca kopi kiM tasmin vyazvasIt?
49 True, these 'am-ha'aretz ·people of the land· do, but they know nothing about the Torah ·Teaching·, they are under a curse!”
ye zAstraM na jAnanti ta ime'dhamalokAeva zApagrastAH|
50 Nicodemus [Victory people] (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
tadA nikadImanAmA teSAmeko yaH kSaNadAyAM yIzoH sannidhim agAt sa ukttavAn
51 “Our Torah ·Teaching· does not condemn a man, does it, until after hearing from him personally and finding out what he’s doing?”
tasya vAkye na zrute karmmaNi ca na vidite 'smAkaM vyavasthA kiM kaJcana manujaM doSIkaroti?
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee [District, Circuit]? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee [District, Circuit].”
tataste vyAharan tvamapi kiM gAlIlIyalokaH? vivicya pazya galIli kopi bhaviSyadvAdI notpadyate|
53 Everyone went to his own house.
