< John 7 >
1 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,
tataH paraM yihUdIyalOkAstaM hantuM samaihanta tasmAd yIzu ryihUdApradEzE paryyaTituM nEcchan gAlIl pradEzE paryyaTituM prArabhata|
2 and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —
kintu tasmin samayE yihUdIyAnAM dUSyavAsanAmOtsava upasthitE
3 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;
tasya bhrAtarastam avadan yAni karmmANi tvayA kriyantE tAni yathA tava ziSyAH pazyanti tadarthaM tvamitaH sthAnAd yihUdIyadEzaM vraja|
4 for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;'
yaH kazcit svayaM pracikAziSati sa kadApi guptaM karmma na karOti yadIdRzaM karmma karOSi tarhi jagati nijaM paricAyaya|
5 for not even were his brethren believing in him.
yatastasya bhrAtarOpi taM na vizvasanti|
6 Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
tadA yIzustAn avOcat mama samaya idAnIM nOpatiSThati kintu yuSmAkaM samayaH satatam upatiSThati|
7 the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
jagatO lOkA yuSmAn RtIyituM na zakruvanti kintu mAmEva RtIyantE yatastESAM karmANi duSTAni tatra sAkSyamidam ahaM dadAmi|
8 Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'
ataEva yUyam utsavE'smin yAta nAham idAnIm asminnutsavE yAmi yatO mama samaya idAnIM na sampUrNaH|
9 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
iti vAkyam ukttvA sa gAlIli sthitavAn
10 And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;
kintu tasya bhrAtRSu tatra prasthitESu satsu sO'prakaTa utsavam agacchat|
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'
anantaram utsavam upasthitA yihUdIyAstaM mRgayitvApRcchan sa kutra?
12 and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'
tatO lOkAnAM madhyE tasmin nAnAvidhA vivAdA bhavitum ArabdhavantaH| kEcid avOcan sa uttamaH puruSaH kEcid avOcan na tathA varaM lOkAnAM bhramaM janayati|
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.
kintu yihUdIyAnAM bhayAt kOpi tasya pakSE spaSTaM nAkathayat|
14 And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,
tataH param utsavasya madhyasamayE yIzu rmandiraM gatvA samupadizati sma|
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, 'How hath this one known letters — not having learned?'
tatO yihUdIyA lOkA AzcaryyaM jnjAtvAkathayan ESA mAnuSO nAdhItyA katham EtAdRzO vidvAnabhUt?
16 Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;
tadA yIzuH pratyavOcad upadEzOyaM na mama kintu yO mAM prESitavAn tasya|
17 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.
yO janO nidEzaM tasya grahISyati mamOpadEzO mattO bhavati kim IzvarAd bhavati sa ganastajjnjAtuM zakSyati|
18 'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
yO janaH svataH kathayati sa svIyaM gauravam IhatE kintu yaH prErayitu rgauravam IhatE sa satyavAdI tasmin kOpyadharmmO nAsti|
19 hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'
mUsA yuSmabhyaM vyavasthAgranthaM kiM nAdadAt? kintu yuSmAkaM kOpi tAM vyavasthAM na samAcarati| mAM hantuM kutO yatadhvE?
20 The multitude answered and said, 'Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'
tadA lOkA avadan tvaM bhUtagrastastvAM hantuM kO yatatE?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, 'One work I did, and ye all wonder,
tatO yIzuravOcad EkaM karmma mayAkAri tasmAd yUyaM sarvva mahAzcaryyaM manyadhvE|
22 because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;
mUsA yuSmabhyaM tvakchEdavidhiM pradadau sa mUsAtO na jAtaH kintu pitRpuruSEbhyO jAtaH tEna vizrAmavArE'pi mAnuSANAM tvakchEdaM kurutha|
23 if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
ataEva vizrAmavArE manuSyANAM tvakchEdE kRtE yadi mUsAvyavasthAmagganaM na bhavati tarhi mayA vizrAmavArE mAnuSaH sampUrNarUpENa svasthO'kAri tatkAraNAd yUyaM kiM mahyaM kupyatha?
24 judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'
sapakSapAtaM vicAramakRtvA nyAyyaM vicAraM kuruta|
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?
tadA yirUzAlam nivAsinaH katipayajanA akathayan imE yaM hantuM cESTantE sa EvAyaM kiM na?
26 and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
kintu pazyata nirbhayaH san kathAM kathayati tathApi kimapi a vadantyEtE ayamEvAbhiSikttO bhavatIti nizcitaM kimadhipatayO jAnanti?
27 but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'
manujOyaM kasmAdAgamad iti vayaM jAnOmaH kintvabhiSiktta AgatE sa kasmAdAgatavAn iti kOpi jnjAtuM na zakSyati|
28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;
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 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'
tamahaM jAnE tEnAhaM prErita agatOsmi|
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the 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 and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — 'The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?'
kintu bahavO lOkAstasmin vizvasya kathitavAntO'bhiSikttapuruSa Agatya mAnuSasyAsya kriyAbhyaH kim adhikA AzcaryyAH kriyAH kariSyati?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;
tataH paraM lOkAstasmin itthaM vivadantE phirUzinaH pradhAnayAjakAnjcEti zrutavantastaM dhRtvA nEtuM padAtigaNaM prESayAmAsuH|
33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;
tatO yIzuravadad aham alpadinAni yuSmAbhiH sArddhaM sthitvA matprErayituH samIpaM yAsyAmi|
34 ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'
mAM mRgayiSyadhvE kintUddEzaM na lapsyadhvE ratra sthAsyAmi tatra yUyaM gantuM na zakSyatha|
35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to 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, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'
nO cEt mAM gavESayiSyatha kintUddEzaM na prApsyatha ESa kOdRzaM vAkyamidaM vadati?
37 And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 'If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;
anantaram utsavasya caramE'hani arthAt pradhAnadinE yIzuruttiSThan uccaiHkAram Ahvayan uditavAn yadi kazcit tRSArttO bhavati tarhi mamAntikam Agatya pivatu|
38 he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'
yaH kazcinmayi vizvasiti dharmmagranthasya vacanAnusArENa tasyAbhyantaratO'mRtatOyasya srOtAMsi nirgamiSyanti|
39 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus 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, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'
EtAM vANIM zrutvA bahavO lOkA avadan ayamEva nizcitaM sa bhaviSyadvAdI|
41 others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?
kEcid akathayan ESaEva sObhiSikttaH kintu kEcid avadan sObhiSikttaH kiM gAlIl pradEzE janiSyatE?
42 Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?'
sObhiSikttO dAyUdO vaMzE dAyUdO janmasthAnE baitlEhami pattanE janiSyatE dharmmagranthE kimitthaM likhitaM nAsti?
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.
itthaM tasmin lOkAnAM bhinnavAkyatA jAtA|
44 And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;
katipayalOkAstaM dharttum aicchan tathApi tadvapuSi kOpi hastaM nArpayat|
45 the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, 'Wherefore did ye not bring him?'
anantaraM pAdAtigaNE pradhAnayAjakAnAM phirUzinAnjca samIpamAgatavati tE tAn apRcchan kutO hEtOstaM nAnayata?
46 The officers answered, 'Never so spake man — as this man.'
tadA padAtayaH pratyavadan sa mAnava iva kOpi kadApi nOpAdizat|
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray?
tataH phirUzinaH prAvOcan yUyamapi kimabhrAmiSTa?
48 did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?
adhipatInAM phirUzinAnjca kOpi kiM tasmin vyazvasIt?
49 but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'
yE zAstraM na jAnanti ta imE'dhamalOkAEva zApagrastAH|
50 Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,
tadA nikadImanAmA tESAmEkO yaH kSaNadAyAM yIzOH sannidhim agAt sa ukttavAn
51 'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'
tasya vAkyE na zrutE karmmaNi ca na viditE 'smAkaM vyavasthA kiM kanjcana manujaM dOSIkarOti?
52 They answered and said to him, 'Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;'
tatastE vyAharan tvamapi kiM gAlIlIyalOkaH? vivicya pazya galIli kOpi bhaviSyadvAdI nOtpadyatE|
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.
tataH paraM sarvvE svaM svaM gRhaM gatAH kintu yIzu rjaitunanAmAnaM zilOccayaM gatavAn|
