mathiH 11
1 itthaM yIzuH svadvAdazaziSyANAmAjnjApanaM samApya purE pura upadESTuM susaMvAdaM pracArayituM tatsthAnAt pratasthE|
And it happened that when Yeshua had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 anantaraM yOhan kArAyAM tiSThan khriSTasya karmmaNAM vArttaM prApya yasyAgamanavArttAsIt saEva kiM tvaM? vA vayamanyam apEkSiSyAmahE?
Now when Yukhanan heard in prison the works of the Meshikha, he sent his disciples
3 Etat praSTuM nijau dvau ziSyau prAhiNOt|
and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 yIzuH pratyavOcat, andhA nEtrANi labhantE, khanjcA gacchanti, kuSThinaH svasthA bhavanti, badhirAH zRNvanti, mRtA jIvanta uttiSThanti, daridrANAM samIpE susaMvAdaH pracAryyata,
And Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell Yukhanan the things which you hear and see:
5 EtAni yadyad yuvAM zRNuthaH pazyathazca gatvA tadvArttAM yOhanaM gadataM|
the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6 yasyAhaM na vighnIbhavAmi, saEva dhanyaH|
And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
7 anantaraM tayOH prasthitayO ryIzu ryOhanam uddizya janAn jagAda, yUyaM kiM draSTuM vahirmadhyEprAntaram agacchata? kiM vAtEna kampitaM nalaM?
And as these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the crowds concerning Yukhanan, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 vA kiM vIkSituM vahirgatavantaH? kiM parihitasUkSmavasanaM manujamEkaM? pazyata, yE sUkSmavasanAni paridadhati, tE rAjadhAnyAM tiSThanti|
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
9 tarhi yUyaM kiM draSTuM bahiragamata, kimEkaM bhaviSyadvAdinaM? tadEva satyaM| yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, sa bhaviSyadvAdinOpi mahAn;
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 yataH, pazya svakIyadUtOyaM tvadagrE prESyatE mayA| sa gatvA tava panthAnaM smayak pariSkariSyati|| EtadvacanaM yamadhi likhitamAstE sO'yaM yOhan|
This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
11 aparaM yuSmAnahaM tathyaM bravImi, majjayitu ryOhanaH zrESThaH kOpi nArItO nAjAyata; tathApi svargarAjyamadhyE sarvvEbhyO yaH kSudraH sa yOhanaH zrESThaH|
Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than Yukhanan the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 aparanjca A yOhanO'dya yAvat svargarAjyaM balAdAkrAntaM bhavati Akraminazca janA balEna tadadhikurvvanti|
And from the days of Yukhanan the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
13 yatO yOhanaM yAvat sarvvabhaviSyadvAdibhi rvyavasthayA ca upadEzaH prAkAzyata|
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Yukhanan.
14 yadi yUyamidaM vAkyaM grahItuM zaknutha, tarhi zrEyaH, yasyAgamanasya vacanamAstE sO'yam EliyaH|
And if you are willing to receive it, this is Eliya, who is to come.
15 yasya zrOtuM karNau staH sa zRNOtu|
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 EtE vidyamAnajanAH kai rmayOpamIyantE? yE bAlakA haTTa upavizya svaM svaM bandhumAhUya vadanti,
"But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 vayaM yuSmAkaM samIpE vaMzIravAdayAma, kintu yUyaM nAnRtyata; yuSmAkaM samIpE ca vayamarOdima, kintu yUyaM na vyalapata, tAdRzai rbAlakaista upamAyiSyantE|
and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
18 yatO yOhan Agatya na bhuktavAn na pItavAMzca, tEna lOkA vadanti, sa bhUtagrasta iti|
For Yukhanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19 manujasuta Agatya bhuktavAn pItavAMzca, tEna lOkA vadanti, pazyata ESa bhOktA madyapAtA caNPAlapApinAM bandhazca, kintu jnjAninO jnjAnavyavahAraM nirdOSaM jAnanti|
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
20 sa yatra yatra purE bahvAzcaryyaM karmma kRtavAn, tannivAsinAM manaHparAvRttyabhAvAt tAni nagarANi prati hantEtyuktA kathitavAn,
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 hA kOrAsIn, hA baitsaidE, yuSmanmadhyE yadyadAzcaryyaM karmma kRtaM yadi tat sOrasIdOnnagara akAriSyata, tarhi pUrvvamEva tannivAsinaH zANavasanE bhasmani cOpavizantO manAMsi parAvarttiSyanta|
"Woe to you, Korazin. Woe to you, Beth-Sayada. For if the mighty works had been done in Tsur and Tsaidan which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 tasmAdahaM yuSmAn vadAmi, vicAradinE yuSmAkaM dazAtaH sOrasIdOnO rdazA sahyatarA bhaviSyati|
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tsur and Tsaidan on the day of judgment than for you.
23 aparanjca bata kapharnAhUm, tvaM svargaM yAvadunnatOsi, kintu narakE nikSEpsyasE, yasmAt tvayi yAnyAzcaryyANi karmmaNyakAriSata, yadi tAni sidOmnagara akAriSyanta, tarhi tadadya yAvadasthAsyat| (Hadēs g86)
And you, Kepharnakhum, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to Sheyul. For if the mighty works had been done in Sedum which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 kintvahaM yuSmAn vadAmi, vicAradinE tava daNPataH sidOmO daNPO sahyatarO bhaviSyati|
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sedum, on the day of judgment, than for you."
25 EtasminnEva samayE yIzuH punaruvAca, hE svargapRthivyOrEkAdhipatE pitastvaM jnjAnavatO viduSazca lOkAn pratyEtAni na prakAzya bAlakAn prati prakAzitavAn, iti hEtOstvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
At that time, Yeshua answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
26 hE pitaH, itthaM bhavEt yata idaM tvadRSTAvuttamaM|
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 pitrA mayi sarvvANi samarpitAni, pitaraM vinA kOpi putraM na jAnAti, yAn prati putrENa pitA prakAzyatE tAn vinA putrAd anyaH kOpi pitaraM na jAnAti|
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
28 hE parizrAntA bhArAkrAntAzca lOkA yUyaM matsannidhim Agacchata, ahaM yuSmAn vizramayiSyAmi|
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 ahaM kSamaNazIlO namramanAzca, tasmAt mama yugaM svESAmupari dhArayata mattaH zikSadhvanjca, tEna yUyaM svE svE manasi vizrAmaM lapsyadhbE|
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
30 yatO mama yugam anAyAsaM mama bhArazca laghuH|
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
