A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
2 bhaviSyadvAdinAM granthESu lipiritthamAstE, pazya svakIyadUtantu tavAgrE prESayAmyaham| gatvA tvadIyapanthAnaM sa hi pariSkariSyati|
As it is written in the prophets —“Take note, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.”
3 "paramEzasya panthAnaM pariSkuruta sarvvataH| tasya rAjapathanjcaiva samAnaM kurutAdhunA|" ityEtat prAntarE vAkyaM vadataH kasyacidravaH||
“A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
4 saEva yOhan prAntarE majjitavAn tathA pApamArjananimittaM manOvyAvarttakamajjanasya kathAnjca pracAritavAn|
John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 tatO yihUdAdEzayirUzAlamnagaranivAsinaH sarvvE lOkA bahi rbhUtvA tasya samIpamAgatya svAni svAni pApAnyaggIkRtya yarddananadyAM tEna majjitA babhUvuH|
Well, the whole Judean countryside and the Jerusalemites started going out to him, and were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 asya yOhanaH paridhEyAni kramElakalOmajAni, tasya kaTibandhanaM carmmajAtam, tasya bhakSyANi ca zUkakITA vanyamadhUni cAsan|
Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
7 sa pracArayan kathayAnjcakrE, ahaM namrIbhUya yasya pAdukAbandhanaM mOcayitumapi na yOgyOsmi, tAdRzO mattO gurutara EkaH puruSO matpazcAdAgacchati|
And he was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 ahaM yuSmAn jalE majjitavAn kintu sa pavitra AtmAni saMmajjayiSyati|
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
9 aparanjca tasminnEva kAlE gAlIlpradEzasya nAsaradgrAmAd yIzurAgatya yOhanA yarddananadyAM majjitO'bhUt|
Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 sa jalAdutthitamAtrO mEghadvAraM muktaM kapOtavat svasyOpari avarOhantamAtmAnanjca dRSTavAn|
And immediately upon coming up from the water He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him.
11 tvaM mama priyaH putrastvayyEva mamamahAsantOSa iyamAkAzIyA vANI babhUva|
And a Voice came from the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
12 tasmin kAlE AtmA taM prAntaramadhyaM ninAya|
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him into the wilderness.
13 atha sa catvAriMzaddinAni tasmin sthAnE vanyapazubhiH saha tiSThan zaitAnA parIkSitaH; pazcAt svargIyadUtAstaM siSEvirE|
And He was there in the wilderness forty days being tested by Satan, and was with the wild animals; and the angels were ministering to Him.
14 anantaraM yOhani bandhanAlayE baddhE sati yIzu rgAlIlpradEzamAgatya IzvararAjyasya susaMvAdaM pracArayan kathayAmAsa,
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 kAlaH sampUrNa IzvararAjyanjca samIpamAgataM; atOhEtO ryUyaM manAMsi vyAvarttayadhvaM susaMvAdE ca vizvAsita|
and saying: “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
16 tadanantaraM sa gAlIlIyasamudrasya tIrE gacchan zimOn tasya bhrAtA andriyanAmA ca imau dvau janau matsyadhAriNau sAgaramadhyE jAlaM prakSipantau dRSTvA tAvavadat,
Then, as He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, of Simon, casting a circular net onto the water, for they were fishermen.
17 yuvAM mama pazcAdAgacchataM, yuvAmahaM manuSyadhAriNau kariSyAmi|
So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
18 tatastau tatkSaNamEva jAlAni parityajya tasya pazcAt jagmatuH|
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 tataH paraM tatsthAnAt kinjcid dUraM gatvA sa sivadIputrayAkUb tadbhrAtRyOhan ca imau naukAyAM jAlAnAM jIrNamuddhArayantau dRSTvA tAvAhUyat|
And going on from there a little ways He saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John; they were in their boat mending their nets.
20 tatastau naukAyAM vEtanabhugbhiH sahitaM svapitaraM vihAya tatpazcAdIyatuH|
Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
21 tataH paraM kapharnAhUmnAmakaM nagaramupasthAya sa vizrAmadivasE bhajanagrahaM pravizya samupadidEza|
Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22 tasyOpadEzAllOkA AzcaryyaM mEnirE yataH sOdhyApakAiva nOpadizan prabhAvavAniva prOpadidEza|
And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 aparanjca tasmin bhajanagRhE apavitrabhUtEna grasta EkO mAnuSa AsIt| sa cItzabdaM kRtvA kathayAnjcakE
Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 bhO nAsaratIya yIzO tvamasmAn tyaja, tvayA sahAsmAkaM kaH sambandhaH? tvaM kimasmAn nAzayituM samAgataH? tvamIzvarasya pavitralOka ityahaM jAnAmi|
saying: “Hey, what do you want with us, Jesus Natsarene?! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 tadA yIzustaM tarjayitvA jagAda tUSNIM bhava itO bahirbhava ca|
So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
26 tataH sO'pavitrabhUtastaM sampIPya atyucaizcItkRtya nirjagAma|
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 tEnaiva sarvvE camatkRtya parasparaM kathayAnjcakrirE, ahO kimidaM? kIdRzO'yaM navya upadEzaH? anEna prabhAvEnApavitrabhUtESvAjnjApitESu tE tadAjnjAnuvarttinO bhavanti|
And all were astounded, so that they questioned among themselves, saying: “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? Because with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 tadA tasya yazO gAlIlazcaturdiksthasarvvadEzAn vyApnOt|
So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
29 aparanjca tE bhajanagRhAd bahi rbhUtvA yAkUbyOhanbhyAM saha zimOna Andriyasya ca nivEzanaM pravivizuH|
Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 tadA pitarasya zvazrUrjvarapIPitA zayyAyAmAsta iti tE taM jhaTiti vijnjApayAnjcakruH|
Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
31 tataH sa Agatya tasyA hastaM dhRtvA tAmudasthApayat; tadaiva tAM jvarO'tyAkSIt tataH paraM sA tAn siSEvE|
So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately the fever left her and she began to serve them.
32 athAstaM gatE ravau sandhyAkAlE sati lOkAstatsamIpaM sarvvAn rOgiNO bhUtadhRtAMzca samAninyuH|
That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
33 sarvvE nAgarikA lOkA dvAri saMmilitAzca|
So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,
34 tataH sa nAnAvidharOgiNO bahUn manujAnarOgiNazcakAra tathA bahUn bhUtAn tyAjayAnjcakAra tAn bhUtAn kimapi vAkyaM vaktuM niSiSEdha ca yatOhEtOstE tamajAnan|
and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew He was Messiah.
35 aparanjca sO'tipratyUSE vastutastu rAtrizESE samutthAya bahirbhUya nirjanaM sthAnaM gatvA tatra prArthayAnjcakrE|
Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
36 anantaraM zimOn tatsagginazca tasya pazcAd gatavantaH|
Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
37 taduddEzaM prApya tamavadan sarvvE lOkAstvAM mRgayantE|
and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 tadA sO'kathayat Agacchata vayaM samIpasthAni nagarANi yAmaH, yatO'haM tatra kathAM pracArayituM bahirAgamam|
But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
39 atha sa tESAM gAlIlpradEzasya sarvvESu bhajanagRhESu kathAH pracArayAnjcakrE bhUtAnatyAjayanjca|
He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
40 anantaramEkaH kuSThI samAgatya tatsammukhE jAnupAtaM vinayanjca kRtvA kathitavAn yadi bhavAn icchati tarhi mAM pariSkarttuM zaknOti|
A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 tataH kRpAlu ryIzuH karau prasAryya taM spaSTvA kathayAmAsa
So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
42 mamEcchA vidyatE tvaM pariSkRtO bhava| EtatkathAyAH kathanamAtrAt sa kuSThI rOgAnmuktaH pariSkRtO'bhavat|
And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 tadA sa taM visRjan gAPhamAdizya jagAda
And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
44 sAvadhAnO bhava kathAmimAM kamapi mA vada; svAtmAnaM yAjakaM darzaya, lOkEbhyaH svapariSkRtEH pramANadAnAya mUsAnirNItaM yaddAnaM tadutsRjasva ca|
by saying: “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 kintu sa gatvA tat karmma itthaM vistAryya pracArayituM prArEbhE tEnaiva yIzuH punaH saprakAzaM nagaraM pravESTuM nAzaknOt tatOhEtOrbahiH kAnanasthAnE tasyau; tathApi caturddigbhyO lOkAstasya samIpamAyayuH|
However he went out and began to proclaim it freely, spreading the news, so that He was no longer able to enter a town openly, but remained outside in deserted places; yet they kept coming to Him from all over.
