Now a certain man, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 yA mariyam prabhuM sugandhitElaina marddayitvA svakEzaistasya caraNau samamArjat tasyA bhrAtA sa iliyAsar rOgI|
(It was the Mary who [later] anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped His feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 aparanjca hE prabhO bhavAn yasmin prIyatE sa Eva pIPitOstIti kathAM kathayitvA tasya bhaginyau prESitavatyau|
So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love is sick!”
4 tadA yIzurimAM vArttAM zrutvAkathayata pIPEyaM maraNArthaM na kintvIzvarasya mahimArtham Izvaraputrasya mahimaprakAzArthanjca jAtA|
Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 yIzu ryadyapimarthAyAM tadbhaginyAm iliyAsari cAprIyata,
(Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
6 tathApi iliyAsaraH pIPAyAH kathaM zrutvA yatra AsIt tatraiva dinadvayamatiSThat|
So, when He heard that he was sick He stayed where He was two more days!
7 tataH param sa ziSyAnakathayad vayaM puna ryihUdIyapradEzaM yAmaH|
Then after this He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
8 tatastE pratyavadan, hE gurO svalpadinAni gatAni yihUdIyAstvAM pASANai rhantum udyatAstathApi kiM punastatra yAsyasi?
The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and you are going back there?”
9 yIzuH pratyavadat, Ekasmin dinE kiM dvAdazaghaTikA na bhavanti? kOpi divA gacchan na skhalati yataH sa EtajjagatO dIptiM prApnOti|
Jesus answered: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks during the day he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 kintu rAtrau gacchan skhalati yatO hEtOstatra dIpti rnAsti|
But if anyone walks in the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
11 imAM kathAM kathayitvA sa tAnavadad, asmAkaM bandhuH iliyAsar nidritObhUd idAnIM taM nidrAtO jAgarayituM gacchAmi|
Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.”
12 yIzu rmRtau kathAmimAM kathitavAn kintu vizrAmArthaM nidrAyAM kathitavAn iti jnjAtvA ziSyA akathayan,
His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.”
13 hE gurO sa yadi nidrAti tarhi bhadramEva|
But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.
14 tadA yIzuH spaSTaM tAn vyAharat, iliyAsar amriyata;
So then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus died.
15 kintu yUyaM yathA pratItha tadarthamahaM tatra na sthitavAn ityasmAd yuSmannimittam AhlAditOhaM, tathApi tasya samIpE yAma|
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 tadA thOmA yaM didumaM vadanti sa sagginaH ziSyAn avadad vayamapi gatvA tEna sArddhaM mriyAmahai|
Then Thomas (called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, “Let's us go too, so that we may die with Him.”
17 yIzustatrOpasthAya iliyAsaraH zmazAnE sthApanAt catvAri dinAni gatAnIti vArttAM zrutavAn|
So when Jesus had come, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 vaithanIyA yirUzAlamaH samIpasthA krOzaikamAtrAntaritA;
(Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 tasmAd bahavO yihUdIyA marthAM mariyamanjca bhyAtRzOkApannAM sAntvayituM tayOH samIpam Agacchan|
and many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.)
20 marthA yIzOrAgamanavArtAM zrutvaiva taM sAkSAd akarOt kintu mariyam gEha upavizya sthitA|
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting at home.
21 tadA marthA yIzumavAdat, hE prabhO yadi bhavAn atrAsthAsyat tarhi mama bhrAtA nAmariSyat|
Then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died.
22 kintvidAnImapi yad IzvarE prArthayiSyatE Izvarastad dAsyatIti jAnE'haM|
But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 yIzuravAdIt tava bhrAtA samutthAsyati|
Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 marthA vyAharat zESadivasE sa utthAnasamayE prOtthAsyatIti jAnE'haM|
Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 tadA yIzuH kathitavAn ahamEva utthApayitA jIvayitA ca yaH kazcana mayi vizvasiti sa mRtvApi jIviSyati;
Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;
26 yaH kazcana ca jIvan mayi vizvasiti sa kadApi na mariSyati, asyAM kathAyAM kiM vizvasiSi? (aiōn g165)
and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 sAvadat prabhO yasyAvataraNApEkSAsti bhavAn saEvAbhiSiktta Izvaraputra iti vizvasimi|
She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
28 iti kathAM kathayitvA sA gatvA svAM bhaginIM mariyamaM guptamAhUya vyAharat gururupatiSThati tvAmAhUyati ca|
Having said these things she went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling you!”
29 kathAmimAM zrutvA sA tUrNam utthAya tasya samIpam agacchat|
Upon hearing it she gets up quickly and goes to Him.
30 yIzu rgrAmamadhyaM na pravizya yatra marthA taM sAkSAd akarOt tatra sthitavAn|
(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
31 yE yihUdIyA mariyamA sAkaM gRhE tiSThantastAm asAntvayana tE tAM kSipram utthAya gacchantiM vilOkya vyAharan, sa zmazAnE rOdituM yAti, ityuktvA tE tasyAH pazcAd agacchan|
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”)
32 yatra yIzuratiSThat tatra mariyam upasthAya taM dRSTvA tasya caraNayOH patitvA vyAharat hE prabhO yadi bhavAn atrAsthAsyat tarhi mama bhrAtA nAmariSyat|
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died!”
33 yIzustAM tasyAH sagginO yihUdIyAMzca rudatO vilOkya zOkArttaH san dIrghaM nizvasya kathitavAn taM kutrAsthApayata?
So when Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 tE vyAharan, hE prabhO bhavAn Agatya pazyatu|
And He said, “Where have you put him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 yIzunA kranditaM|
Jesus wept.
36 ataEva yihUdIyA avadan, pazyatAyaM tasmin kidRg apriyata|
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 tESAM kEcid avadan yOndhAya cakSuSI dattavAn sa kim asya mRtyuM nivArayituM nAzaknOt?
But some of them said, “Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this one from dying?”
38 tatO yIzuH punarantardIrghaM nizvasya zmazAnAntikam agacchat| tat zmazAnam EkaM gahvaraM tanmukhE pASANa Eka AsIt|
Then, groaning within Himself again, Jesus arrived at the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39 tadA yIzuravadad EnaM pASANam apasArayata, tataH pramItasya bhaginI marthAvadat prabhO, adhunA tatra durgandhO jAtaH, yatOdya catvAri dinAni zmazAnE sa tiSThati|
Jesus says, “Remove the stone!” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks; it's been four days!”
40 tadA yIzuravAdIt, yadi vizvasiSi tarhIzvarasya mahimaprakAzaM drakSyasi kathAmimAM kiM tubhyaM nAkathayaM?
Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
41 tadA mRtasya zmazAnAt pASANO'pasAritE yIzurUrdvvaM pazyan akathayat, hE pita rmama nEvEsanam azRNOH kAraNAdasmAt tvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
Then they took away the stone from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You heard me.
42 tvaM satataM zRNOSi tadapyahaM jAnAmi, kintu tvaM mAM yat prairayastad yathAsmin sthAnE sthitA lOkA vizvasanti tadartham idaM vAkyaM vadAmi|
I know that You always hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 imAM kathAM kathayitvA sa prOccairAhvayat, hE iliyAsar bahirAgaccha|
Upon saying these things He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 tataH sa pramItaH zmazAnavastrai rbaddhahastapAdO gAtramArjanavAsasA baddhamukhazca bahirAgacchat| yIzuruditavAn bandhanAni mOcayitvA tyajatainaM|
And out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Loose him and let him go.”
45 mariyamaH samIpam AgatA yE yihUdIyalOkAstadA yIzOrEtat karmmApazyan tESAM bahavO vyazvasan,
So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
46 kintu kEcidanyE phirUzinAM samIpaM gatvA yIzOrEtasya karmmaNO vArttAm avadan|
But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 tataH paraM pradhAnayAjakAH phirUzinAzca sabhAM kRtvA vyAharan vayaM kiM kurmmaH? ESa mAnavO bahUnyAzcaryyakarmmANi karOti|
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous signs;
48 yadIdRzaM karmma karttuM na vArayAmastarhi sarvvE lOkAstasmin vizvasiSyanti rOmilOkAzcAgatyAsmAkam anayA rAjadhAnyA sArddhaM rAjyam AchEtsyanti|
if we let him go on like this everybody will believe into him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation!”
49 tadA tESAM kiyaphAnAmA yastasmin vatsarE mahAyAjakapadE nyayujyata sa pratyavadad yUyaM kimapi na jAnItha;
But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: “You know nothing at all!
50 samagradEzasya vinAzatOpi sarvvalOkArtham Ekasya janasya maraNam asmAkaM maggalahEtukam Etasya vivEcanAmapi na kurutha|
Nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation perish!”
51 EtAM kathAM sa nijabuddhyA vyAharad iti na,
(Now he did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation;
52 kintu yIzUstaddEzIyAnAM kAraNAt prANAn tyakSyati, dizi dizi vikIrNAn Izvarasya santAnAn saMgRhyaikajAtiM kariSyati ca, tasmin vatsarE kiyaphA mahAyAjakatvapadE niyuktaH san idaM bhaviSyadvAkyaM kathitavAn|
and not only on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)
53 taddinamArabhya tE kathaM taM hantuM zaknuvantIti mantraNAM karttuM prArEbhirE|
So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.
54 ataEva yihUdIyAnAM madhyE yIzuH saprakAzaM gamanAgamanE akRtvA tasmAd gatvA prAntarasya samIpasthAyipradEzasyEphrAyim nAmni nagarE ziSyaiH sAkaM kAlaM yApayituM prArEbhE|
Therefore Jesus no longer moved about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and He stayed there with His disciples.
55 anantaraM yihUdIyAnAM nistArOtsavE nikaTavarttini sati tadutsavAt pUrvvaM svAn zucIn karttuM bahavO janA grAmEbhyO yirUzAlam nagaram Agacchan,
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 yIzOranvESaNaM kRtvA mandirE daNPAyamAnAH santaH parasparaM vyAharan, yuSmAkaM kIdRzO bOdhO jAyatE? sa kim utsavE'smin atrAgamiSyati?
So they were looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they were saying to each other, “What do you think—that he won't come to the feast at all?”
57 sa ca kutrAsti yadyEtat kazcid vEtti tarhi darzayatu pradhAnayAjakAH phirUzinazca taM dharttuM pUrvvam imAm AjnjAM prAcArayan|
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had together issued an edict that if anyone knew where He was he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
