< Mark 8 >

1 About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.
tadā tatsamīpaṁ bahavō lōkā āyātā atastēṣāṁ bhōjyadravyābhāvād yīśuḥ śiṣyānāhūya jagāda, |
2 "My heart yearns over the people," He said; "for this is now the third day they have remained with me, and they have nothing to eat.
lōkanivahē mama kr̥pā jāyatē tē dinatrayaṁ mayā sārddhaṁ santi tēṣāṁ bhōjyaṁ kimapi nāsti|
3 If I were to send them home hungry, they would faint on the way, some of them having come a great distance."
tēṣāṁ madhyē'nēkē dūrād āgatāḥ, abhuktēṣu tēṣu mayā svagr̥hamabhiprahitēṣu tē pathi klamiṣyanti|
4 "Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?" answered His disciples.
śiṣyā avādiṣuḥ, ētāvatō lōkān tarpayitum atra prantarē pūpān prāptuṁ kēna śakyatē?
5 "How many loaves have you?" He asked. "Seven," they said.
tataḥ sa tān papraccha yuṣmākaṁ kati pūpāḥ santi? tē'kathayan sapta|
6 So He passed the word to the people to sit down on the ground. Then taking the seven loaves He blessed them, and broke them into portions and proceeded to give them to His disciples for them to distribute, and they distributed them to the people.
tataḥ sa tāllōkān bhuvi samupavēṣṭum ādiśya tān sapta pūpān dhr̥tvā īśvaraguṇān anukīrttayāmāsa, bhaṁktvā parivēṣayituṁ śiṣyān prati dadau, tatastē lōkēbhyaḥ parivēṣayāmāsuḥ|
7 They had also a few small fish. He blessed them, and He told His disciples to distribute these also.
tathā tēṣāṁ samīpē yē kṣudramatsyā āsan tānapyādāya īśvaraguṇān saṁkīrtya parivēṣayitum ādiṣṭavān|
8 So the people ate an abundant meal; and what remained over they picked up and carried away--seven hampers of broken pieces.
tatō lōkā bhuktvā tr̥ptiṁ gatā avaśiṣṭakhādyaiḥ pūrṇāḥ saptaḍallakā gr̥hītāśca|
9 The number fed were about 4,000. Then He sent them away,
ētē bhōktāraḥ prāyaścatuḥ sahasrapuruṣā āsan tataḥ sa tān visasarja|
10 and at once going on board with His disciples He came into the district of Dalmanutha.
atha sa śiṣyaḥ saha nāvamāruhya dalmānūthāsīmāmāgataḥ|
11 The Pharisees followed Him and began to dispute with Him, asking Him for a sign in the sky, to make trial of Him.
tataḥ paraṁ phirūśina āgatya tēna saha vivadamānāstasya parīkṣārtham ākāśīyacihnaṁ draṣṭuṁ yācitavantaḥ|
12 Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, "Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day."
tadā sō'ntardīrghaṁ niśvasyākathayat, ētē vidyamānanarāḥ kutaścinhaṁ mr̥gayantē? yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ bravīmi lōkānētān kimapi cihnaṁ na darśayiṣyatē|
13 So He left them, went on board again, and came away to the other side.
atha tān hitvā puna rnāvam āruhya pāramagāt|
14 Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;
ētarhi śiṣyaiḥ pūpēṣu vismr̥tēṣu nāvi tēṣāṁ sannidhau pūpa ēkaēva sthitaḥ|
15 and when He admonished them, "See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,"
tadānīṁ yīśustān ādiṣṭavān phirūśināṁ hērōdaśca kiṇvaṁ prati satarkāḥ sāvadhānāśca bhavata|
16 they explained His words to one another by saying, "We have no bread!"
tatastē'nyōnyaṁ vivēcanaṁ kartum ārēbhirē, asmākaṁ sannidhau pūpō nāstīti hētōridaṁ kathayati|
17 He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?
tad budvvā yīśustēbhyō'kathayat yuṣmākaṁ sthānē pūpābhāvāt kuta itthaṁ vitarkayatha? yūyaṁ kimadyāpi kimapi na jānītha? bōddhuñca na śaknutha? yāvadadya kiṁ yuṣmākaṁ manāṁsi kaṭhināni santi?
18 You have eyes! can you not see? You have ears! can you not hear? and have you no memory?
satsu nētrēṣu kiṁ na paśyatha? satsu karṇēṣu kiṁ na śr̥ṇutha? na smaratha ca?
19 When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions?" "Twelve," they said.
yadāhaṁ pañcapūpān pañcasahasrāṇāṁ puruṣāṇāṁ madhyē bhaṁktvā dattavān tadānīṁ yūyam avaśiṣṭapūpaiḥ pūrṇān kati ḍallakān gr̥hītavantaḥ? tē'kathayan dvādaśaḍallakān|
20 "And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?" "Seven," they answered.
aparañca yadā catuḥsahasrāṇāṁ puruṣāṇāṁ madhyē pūpān bhaṁktvādadāṁ tadā yūyam atiriktapūpānāṁ kati ḍallakān gr̥hītavantaḥ? tē kathayāmāsuḥ saptaḍallakān|
21 "Do you not yet understand?" He said.
tadā sa kathitavān tarhi yūyam adhunāpi kutō bōdvvuṁ na śaknutha?
22 And they came to Bethsaida. And a blind man was brought to Jesus and they entreated Him to touch him.
anantaraṁ tasmin baitsaidānagarē prāptē lōkā andhamēkaṁ naraṁ tatsamīpamānīya taṁ spraṣṭuṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrirē|
23 So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"
tadā tasyāndhasya karau gr̥hītvā nagarād bahirdēśaṁ taṁ nītavān; tannētrē niṣṭhīvaṁ dattvā tadgātrē hastāvarpayitvā taṁ papraccha, kimapi paśyasi?
24 He looked up and said, "I can see the people: I see them like trees--only walking."
sa nētrē unmīlya jagāda, vr̥kṣavat manujān gacchatō nirīkṣē|
25 Then for the second time He put His hands on the man's eyes, and the man, looking steadily, recovered his sight and saw everything distinctly.
tatō yīśuḥ punastasya nayanayō rhastāvarpayitvā tasya nētrē unmīlayāmāsa; tasmāt sa svasthō bhūtvā spaṣṭarūpaṁ sarvvalōkān dadarśa|
26 So He sent him home, and added, "Do not even go into the village."
tataḥ paraṁ tvaṁ grāmaṁ mā gaccha grāmasthaṁ kamapi ca kimapyanuktvā nijagr̥haṁ yāhītyādiśya yīśustaṁ nijagr̥haṁ prahitavān|
27 From that place Jesus and His disciples went to the villages belonging to Caesarea Philippi. On the way He began to ask His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
anantaraṁ śiṣyaiḥ sahitō yīśuḥ kaisarīyāphilipipuraṁ jagāma, pathi gacchan tānapr̥cchat kō'ham atra lōkāḥ kiṁ vadanti?
28 "John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."
tē pratyūcuḥ tvāṁ yōhanaṁ majjakaṁ vadanti kintu kēpi kēpi ēliyaṁ vadanti; aparē kēpi kēpi bhaviṣyadvādinām ēkō jana iti vadanti|
29 Then He asked them pointedly, "But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?" "You are the Christ," answered Peter.
atha sa tānapr̥cchat kintu kōham? ityatra yūyaṁ kiṁ vadatha? tadā pitaraḥ pratyavadat bhavān abhiṣiktastrātā|
30 And He strictly forbad them to tell this about Him to any one.
tataḥ sa tān gāḍhamādiśad yūyaṁ mama kathā kasmaicidapi mā kathayata|
31 And now for the first time He told them, "The Son of Man must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and after two days rise to life."
manuṣyaputrēṇāvaśyaṁ bahavō yātanā bhōktavyāḥ prācīnalōkaiḥ pradhānayājakairadhyāpakaiśca sa ninditaḥ san ghātayiṣyatē tr̥tīyadinē utthāsyati ca, yīśuḥ śiṣyānupadēṣṭumārabhya kathāmimāṁ spaṣṭamācaṣṭa|
32 This He told them plainly; whereupon Peter took Him and began to remonstrate with Him.
tasmāt pitarastasya hastau dhr̥tvā taṁ tarjjitavān|
33 But turning round and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Adversary," He said, "for your thoughts are not God's thoughts, but men's."
kintu sa mukhaṁ parāvartya śiṣyagaṇaṁ nirīkṣya pitaraṁ tarjayitvāvādīd dūrībhava vighnakārin īśvarīyakāryyādapi manuṣyakāryyaṁ tubhyaṁ rōcatatarāṁ|
34 Then calling to Him the crowd and also His disciples, He said to them, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross, and so be my follower.
atha sa lōkān śiṣyāṁścāhūya jagāda yaḥ kaścin māmanugantum icchati sa ātmānaṁ dāmyatu, svakruśaṁ gr̥hītvā matpaścād āyātu|
35 For whoever is bent on securing his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News, will secure it.
yatō yaḥ kaścit svaprāṇaṁ rakṣitumicchati sa taṁ hārayiṣyati, kintu yaḥ kaścin madarthaṁ susaṁvādārthañca prāṇaṁ hārayati sa taṁ rakṣiṣyati|
36 Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
aparañca manujaḥ sarvvaṁ jagat prāpya yadi svaprāṇaṁ hārayati tarhi tasya kō lābhaḥ?
37 For what could a man give to buy back his life?
naraḥ svaprāṇavinimayēna kiṁ dātuṁ śaknōti?
38 Every one, however, who has been ashamed of me and of my teachings in this faithless and sinful age, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."
ētēṣāṁ vyabhicāriṇāṁ pāpināñca lōkānāṁ sākṣād yadi kōpi māṁ matkathāñca lajjāspadaṁ jānāti tarhi manujaputrō yadā dharmmadūtaiḥ saha pituḥ prabhāvēṇāgamiṣyati tadā sōpi taṁ lajjāspadaṁ jñāsyati|
