John 12
1 Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
nistārōtsavāt pūrvvaṁ dinaṣaṭkē sthitē yīśu ryaṁ pramītam iliyāsaraṁ śmaśānād udasthāparat tasya nivāsasthānaṁ baithaniyāgrāmam āgacchat|
2 There a supper was given in his honor at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
tatra tadarthaṁ rajanyāṁ bhōjyē kr̥tē marthā paryyavēṣayad iliyāsar ca tasya saṅgibhiḥ sārddhaṁ bhōjanāsana upāviśat|
3 So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
tadā mariyam arddhasēṭakaṁ bahumūlyaṁ jaṭāmāṁsīyaṁ tailam ānīya yīśōścaraṇayō rmarddayitvā nijakēśa rmārṣṭum ārabhata; tadā tailasya parimalēna gr̥ham āmōditam abhavat|
4 One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
yaḥ śimōnaḥ putra riṣkariyōtīyō yihūdānāmā yīśuṁ parakarēṣu samarpayiṣyati sa śiṣyastadā kathitavān,
5 “Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?”
ētattailaṁ tribhiḥ śatai rmudrāpadai rvikrītaṁ sad daridrēbhyaḥ kutō nādīyata?
6 He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
sa daridralōkārtham acintayad iti na, kintu sa caura ēvaṁ tannikaṭē mudrāsampuṭakasthityā tanmadhyē yadatiṣṭhat tadapāharat tasmāt kāraṇād imāṁ kathāmakathayat|
7 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus, “so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
tadā yīśurakathayad ēnāṁ mā vāraya sā mama śmaśānasthāpanadinārthaṁ tadarakṣayat|
8 The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.”
daridrā yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau sarvvadā tiṣṭhanti kintvahaṁ sarvvadā yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau na tiṣṭhāmi|
9 Now great numbers of people found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśustatrāstīti vārttāṁ śrutvā bahavō yihūdīyāstaṁ śmaśānādutthāpitam iliyāsarañca draṣṭuṁ tat sthānam āgacchana|
10 The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
tadā pradhānayājakāstam iliyāsaramapi saṁharttum amantrayan;
11 because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
yatastēna bahavō yihūdīyā gatvā yīśau vyaśvasan|
12 On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm branches,
anantaraṁ yīśu ryirūśālam nagaram āgacchatīti vārttāṁ śrutvā parē'hani utsavāgatā bahavō lōkāḥ
13 and went out to meet him, shouting as they went, “God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord – the king of Israel!”
kharjjūrapatrādyānīya taṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahirāgatya jaya jayēti vācaṁ prōccai rvaktum ārabhanta, isrāyēlō yō rājā paramēśvarasya nāmnāgacchati sa dhanyaḥ|
14 Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
tadā "hē siyōnaḥ kanyē mā bhaiṣīḥ paśyāyaṁ tava rājā garddabhaśāvakam āruhyāgacchati"
15 ‘Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.’
iti śāstrīyavacanānusārēṇa yīśurēkaṁ yuvagarddabhaṁ prāpya taduparyyārōhat|
16 His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
asyāḥ ghaṭanāyāstātparyyaṁ śiṣyāḥ prathamaṁ nābudhyanta, kintu yīśau mahimānaṁ prāptē sati vākyamidaṁ tasmina akathyata lōkāśca tampratīttham akurvvan iti tē smr̥tavantaḥ|
17 Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
sa iliyāsaraṁ śmaśānād āgantum āhvatavān śmaśānāñca udasthāpayad yē yē lōkāstatkarmya sākṣād apaśyan tē pramāṇaṁ dātum ārabhanta|
18 This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
sa ētādr̥śam adbhutaṁ karmmakarōt tasya janaśrutē rlōkāstaṁ sākṣāt karttum āgacchan|
19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!”
tataḥ phirūśinaḥ parasparaṁ vaktum ārabhanta yuṣmākaṁ sarvvāścēṣṭā vr̥thā jātāḥ, iti kiṁ yūyaṁ na budhyadhvē? paśyata sarvvē lōkāstasya paścādvarttinōbhavan|
20 Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
bhajanaṁ karttum utsavāgatānāṁ lōkānāṁ katipayā janā anyadēśīyā āsan,
21 who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
tē gālīlīyabaitsaidānivāsinaḥ philipasya samīpam āgatya vyāharan hē mahēccha vayaṁ yīśuṁ draṣṭum icchāmaḥ|
22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
tataḥ philipō gatvā āndriyam avadat paścād āndriyaphilipau yīśavē vārttām akathayatāṁ|
23 This was his reply – “The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuditavān mānavasutasya mahimaprāptisamaya upasthitaḥ|
24 In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
ahaṁ yuṣmānatiyathārthaṁ vadāmi, dhānyabījaṁ mr̥ttikāyāṁ patitvā yadi na mr̥yatē tarhyēkākī tiṣṭhati kintu yadi mr̥yatē tarhi bahuguṇaṁ phalaṁ phalati|
25 A person who loves their life loses it; while someone who hates their life in the present world will preserve it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
yō janē nijaprāṇān priyān jānāti sa tān hārayiṣyati kintu yē jana ihalōkē nijaprāṇān apriyān jānāti sēnantāyuḥ prāptuṁ tān rakṣiṣyati| (aiōnios g166)
26 If someone is ready to serve me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If a person is ready to serve me, my Father will honor them.
kaścid yadi mama sēvakō bhavituṁ vāñchati tarhi sa mama paścādgāmī bhavatu, tasmād ahaṁ yatra tiṣṭhāmi mama sēvakēpi tatra sthāsyati; yō janō māṁ sēvatē mama pitāpi taṁ sammaṁsyatē|
27 Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour – yet it was for this reason that I came to this hour –
sāmprataṁ mama prāṇā vyākulā bhavanti, tasmād hē pitara ētasmāt samayān māṁ rakṣa, ityahaṁ kiṁ prārthayiṣyē? kintvaham ētatsamayārtham avatīrṇavān|
28 Father, honor your own name.” At this there came a voice from heaven, which said, “I have already honored it, and I will honor it again.”
hē pita: svanāmnō mahimānaṁ prakāśaya; tanaiva svanāmnō mahimānam ahaṁ prākāśayaṁ punarapi prakāśayiṣyāmi, ēṣā gagaṇīyā vāṇī tasmin samayē'jāyata|
29 The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, “An angel has been speaking to him.”
tacśrutvā samīpasthalōkānāṁ kēcid avadan mēghō'garjīt, kēcid avadan svargīyadūtō'nēna saha kathāmacakathat|
30 “It was not for my sake that the voice came,” said Jesus, “but for yours.
tadā yīśuḥ pratyavādīt, madarthaṁ śabdōyaṁ nābhūt yuṣmadarthamēvābhūt|
31 Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
adhunā jagatōsya vicāra: sampatsyatē, adhunāsya jagata: patī rājyāt cyōṣyati|
32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
yadyaī pr̥thivyā ūrdvvē prōtthāpitōsmi tarhi sarvvān mānavān svasamīpam ākarṣiṣyāmi|
33 By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
kathaṁ tasya mr̥ti rbhaviṣyati, ētad bōdhayituṁ sa imāṁ kathām akathayat|
34 “We,” replied the people, “have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be ‘lifted up’ Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
tadā lōkā akathayan sōbhiṣiktaḥ sarvvadā tiṣṭhatīti vyavasthāgranthē śrutam asmābhiḥ, tarhi manuṣyaputraḥ prōtthāpitō bhaviṣyatīti vākyaṁ kathaṁ vadasi? manuṣyaputrōyaṁ kaḥ? (aiōn g165)
35 “Only a little while longer,” answered Jesus, “will you have the light among you. Travel on while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
tadā yīśurakathāyad yuṣmābhiḥ sārddham alpadināni jyōtirāstē, yathā yuṣmān andhakārō nācchādayati tadarthaṁ yāvatkālaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ jyōtistiṣṭhati tāvatkālaṁ gacchata; yō janō'ndhakārē gacchati sa kutra yātīti na jānāti|
36 While you still have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of light.” After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
ataēva yāvatkālaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭē jyōtirāstē tāvatkālaṁ jyōtīrūpasantānā bhavituṁ jyōtiṣi viśvasita; imāṁ kathāṁ kathayitvā yīśuḥ prasthāya tēbhyaḥ svaṁ guptavān|
37 But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
yadyapi yīśustēṣāṁ samakṣam ētāvadāścaryyakarmmāṇi kr̥tavān tathāpi tē tasmin na vyaśvasan|
38 in fulfillment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, where he says – ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?’
ataēva kaḥ pratyēti susaṁvādaṁ parēśāsmat pracāritaṁ? prakāśatē parēśasya hastaḥ kasya ca sannidhau? yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā yadētad vākyamuktaṁ tat saphalam abhavat|
39 The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
tē pratyētuṁ nāśankuvan tasmin yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādi punaravādīd,
40 ‘He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn – And I should heal them.’
yadā, "tē nayanai rna paśyanti buddhibhiśca na budhyantē tai rmanaḥsu parivarttitēṣu ca tānahaṁ yathā svasthān na karōmi tathā sa tēṣāṁ lōcanānyandhāni kr̥tvā tēṣāmantaḥkaraṇāni gāḍhāni kariṣyati|"
41 Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
yiśayiyō yadā yīśō rmahimānaṁ vilōkya tasmin kathāmakathayat tadā bhaviṣyadvākyam īdr̥śaṁ prakāśayat|
42 Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, because they were afraid that they should be expelled from their synagogues;
tathāpyadhipatināṁ bahavastasmin pratyāyan| kintu phirūśinastān bhajanagr̥hād dūrīkurvvantīti bhayāt tē taṁ na svīkr̥tavantaḥ|
43 for they valued honor from people more than honor from God.
yata īśvarasya praśaṁsātō mānavānāṁ praśaṁsāyāṁ tē'priyanta|
44 But Jesus had proclaimed, “He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
tadā yīśuruccaiḥkāram akathayad yō janō mayi viśvasiti sa kēvalē mayi viśvasitīti na, sa matprērakē'pi viśvasiti|
45 and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
yō janō māṁ paśyati sa matprērakamapi paśyati|
46 I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
yō janō māṁ pratyēti sa yathāndhakārē na tiṣṭhati tadartham ahaṁ jyōtiḥsvarūpō bhūtvā jagatyasmin avatīrṇavān|
47 When anyone hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
mama kathāṁ śrutvā yadi kaścin na viśvasiti tarhi tamahaṁ dōṣiṇaṁ na karōmi, yatō hētō rjagatō janānāṁ dōṣān niścitān karttuṁ nāgatya tān paricātum āgatōsmi|
48 He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already – the message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last day.
yaḥ kaścin māṁ na śraddhāya mama kathaṁ na gr̥hlāti, anyastaṁ dōṣiṇaṁ kariṣyati vastutastu yāṁ kathāmaham acakathaṁ sā kathā caramē'nhi taṁ dōṣiṇaṁ kariṣyati|
49 For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
yatō hētōrahaṁ svataḥ kimapi na kathayāmi, kiṁ kiṁ mayā kathayitavyaṁ kiṁ samupadēṣṭavyañca iti matprērayitā pitā māmājñāpayat|
