Matthew 9
1 Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
anantaraṁ yīśu rnaukāmāruhya punaḥ pāramāgatya nijagrāmam āyayau|
2 Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
tataḥ katipayā janā ekaṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ svaṭṭopari śāyayitvā tatsamīpam ānayan; tato yīśusteṣāṁ pratītiṁ vijñāya taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ jagāda, he putra, susthiro bhava, tava kaluṣasya marṣaṇaṁ jātam|
3 "Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
tāṁ kathāṁ niśamya kiyanta upādhyāyā manaḥsu cintitavanta eṣa manuja īśvaraṁ nindati|
4 Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
tataḥ sa teṣām etādṛśīṁ cintāṁ vijñāya kathitavān, yūyaṁ manaḥsu kṛta etādṛśīṁ kucintāṁ kurutha?
5 Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
tava pāpamarṣaṇaṁ jātaṁ, yadvā tvamutthāya gaccha, dvayoranayo rvākyayoḥ kiṁ vākyaṁ vaktuṁ sugamaṁ?
6 But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
kintu medinyāṁ kaluṣaṁ kṣamituṁ manujasutasya sāmarthyamastīti yūyaṁ yathā jānītha, tadarthaṁ sa taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ gaditavān, uttiṣṭha, nijaśayanīyaṁ ādāya gehaṁ gaccha|
7 And he got up, and went off home.
tataḥ sa tatkṣaṇād utthāya nijagehaṁ prasthitavān|
8 And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
mānavā itthaṁ vilokya vismayaṁ menire, īśvareṇa mānavāya sāmarthyam īdṛśaṁ dattaṁ iti kāraṇāt taṁ dhanyaṁ babhāṣire ca|
9 Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed Him.
anantaraṁ yīśustatsthānād gacchan gacchan karasaṁgrahasthāne samupaviṣṭaṁ mathināmānam ekaṁ manujaṁ vilokya taṁ babhāṣe, mama paścād āgaccha, tataḥ sa utthāya tasya paścād vavrāja|
10 And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśau gṛhe bhoktum upaviṣṭe bahavaḥ karasaṁgrāhiṇaḥ kaluṣiṇaśca mānavā āgatya tena sākaṁ tasya śiṣyaiśca sākam upaviviśuḥ|
11 The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
phirūśinastad dṛṣṭvā tasya śiṣyān babhāṣire, yuṣmākaṁ guruḥ kiṁ nimittaṁ karasaṁgrāhibhiḥ kaluṣibhiśca sākaṁ bhuṁkte?
12 He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
yīśustat śrutvā tān pratyavadat, nirāmayalokānāṁ cikitsakena prayojanaṁ nāsti, kintu sāmayalokānāṁ prayojanamāste|
13 But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
ato yūyaṁ yātvā vacanasyāsyārthaṁ śikṣadhvam, dayāyāṁ me yathā prīti rna tathā yajñakarmmaṇi|yato'haṁ dhārmmikān āhvātuṁ nāgato'smi kintu manaḥ parivarttayituṁ pāpina āhvātum āgato'smi|
14 At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
anantaraṁ yohanaḥ śiṣyāstasya samīpam āgatya kathayāmāsuḥ, phirūśino vayañca punaḥ punarupavasāmaḥ, kintu tava śiṣyā nopavasanti, kutaḥ?
15 "Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
tadā yīśustān avocat yāvat sakhīnāṁ saṁṅge kanyāyā varastiṣṭhati, tāvat kiṁ te vilāpaṁ karttuṁ śakluvanti? kintu yadā teṣāṁ saṁṅgād varaṁ nayanti, tādṛśaḥ samaya āgamiṣyati, tadā te upavatsyanti|
16 No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
purātanavasane kopi navīnavastraṁ na yojayati, yasmāt tena yojitena purātanavasanaṁ chinatti tacchidrañca bahukutsitaṁ dṛśyate|
17 Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
anyañca purātanakutvāṁ kopi navānagostanīrasaṁ na nidadhāti, yasmāt tathā kṛte kutū rvidīryyate tena gostanīrasaḥ patati kutūśca naśyati; tasmāt navīnāyāṁ kutvāṁ navīno gostanīrasaḥ sthāpyate, tena dvayoravanaṁ bhavati|
18 While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
aparaṁ tenaitatkathākathanakāle eko'dhipatistaṁ praṇamya babhāṣe, mama duhitā prāyeṇaitāvatkāle mṛtā, tasmād bhavānāgatya tasyā gātre hastamarpayatu, tena sā jīviṣyati|
19 And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
tadānīṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sākam utthāya tasya paścād vavrāja|
20 But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
ityanantare dvādaśavatsarān yāvat pradarāmayena śīrṇaikā nārī tasya paścād āgatya tasya vasanasya granthiṁ pasparśa;
21 for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
yasmāt mayā kevalaṁ tasya vasanaṁ spṛṣṭvā svāsthyaṁ prāpsyate, sā nārīti manasi niścitavatī|
22 And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
tato yīśurvadanaṁ parāvarttya tāṁ jagāda, he kanye, tvaṁ susthirā bhava, tava viśvāsastvāṁ svasthāmakārṣīt| etadvākye gaditaeva sā yoṣit svasthābhūt|
23 Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
aparaṁ yīśustasyādhyakṣasya gehaṁ gatvā vādakaprabhṛtīn bahūn lokān śabdāyamānān vilokya tān avadat,
24 and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
panthānaṁ tyaja, kanyeyaṁ nāmriyata nidritāste; kathāmetāṁ śrutvā te tamupajahasuḥ|
25 When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
kintu sarvveṣu bahiṣkṛteṣu so'bhyantaraṁ gatvā kanyāyāḥ karaṁ dhṛtavān, tena sodatiṣṭhat;
26 And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
tatastatkarmmaṇo yaśaḥ kṛtsnaṁ taṁ deśaṁ vyāptavat|
27 As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
tataḥ paraṁ yīśustasmāt sthānād yātrāṁ cakāra; tadā he dāyūdaḥ santāna, asmān dayasva, iti vadantau dvau janāvandhau procairāhūyantau tatpaścād vavrajatuḥ|
28 And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
tato yīśau gehamadhyaṁ praviṣṭaṁ tāvapi tasya samīpam upasthitavantau, tadānīṁ sa tau pṛṣṭavān karmmaitat karttuṁ mama sāmarthyam āste, yuvāṁ kimiti pratīthaḥ? tadā tau pratyūcatuḥ, satyaṁ prabho|
29 So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
tadānīṁ sa tayo rlocanāni spṛśan babhāṣe, yuvayoḥ pratītyanusārād yuvayo rmaṅgalaṁ bhūyāt| tena tatkṣaṇāt tayo rnetrāṇi prasannānyabhavan,
30 Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
paścād yīśustau dṛḍhamājñāpya jagāda, avadhattam etāṁ kathāṁ kopi manujo ma jānīyāt|
31 But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
kintu tau prasthāya tasmin kṛtsne deśe tasya kīrttiṁ prakāśayāmāsatuḥ|
32 And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
aparaṁ tau bahiryāta etasminnantare manujā ekaṁ bhūtagrastamūkaṁ tasya samīpam ānītavantaḥ|
33 When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
tena bhūte tyājite sa mūkaḥ kathāṁ kathayituṁ prārabhata, tena janā vismayaṁ vijñāya kathayāmāsuḥ, isrāyelo vaṁśe kadāpi nedṛgadṛśyata;
34 But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
kintu phirūśinaḥ kathayāñcakruḥ bhūtādhipatinā sa bhūtān tyājayati|
35 And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśusteṣāṁ bhajanabhavana upadiśan rājyasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan lokānāṁ yasya ya āmayo yā ca pīḍāsīt, tān śamayan śamayaṁśca sarvvāṇi nagarāṇi grāmāṁśca babhrāma|
36 And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
anyañca manujān vyākulān arakṣakameṣāniva ca tyaktān nirīkṣya teṣu kāruṇikaḥ san śiṣyān avadat,
37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
śasyāni pracurāṇi santi, kintu chettāraḥ stokāḥ|
38 therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
kṣetraṁ pratyaparān chedakān prahetuṁ śasyasvāminaṁ prārthayadhvam|
