mathiH 16
1 tadAnIM phirUzinaH sidUkinazcAgatya taM parIkSituM nabhamIyaM kinjcana lakSma darzayituM tasmai nivEdayAmAsuH|
Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested Jesus, asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 tataH sa uktavAn, sandhyAyAM nabhasO raktatvAd yUyaM vadatha, zvO nirmmalaM dinaM bhaviSyati;
But he answered them, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’
3 prAtaHkAlE ca nabhasO raktatvAt malinatvAnjca vadatha, jhanjbhzadya bhaviSyati| hE kapaTinO yadi yUyam antarIkSasya lakSma bOddhuM zaknutha, tarhi kAlasyaitasya lakSma kathaM bOddhuM na zaknutha?
And in the morning you say, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times?
4 EtatkAlasya duSTO vyabhicArI ca vaMzO lakSma gavESayati, kintu yUnasO bhaviSyadvAdinO lakSma vinAnyat kimapi lakSma tAn na darzayiyyatE| tadAnIM sa tAn vihAya pratasthE|
An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.
5 anantaramanyapAragamanakAlE tasya ziSyAH pUpamAnEtuM vismRtavantaH|
When his disciples reached the other side of the sea, they realized that they had forgotten to bring bread.
6 yIzustAnavAdIt, yUyaM phirUzinAM sidUkinAnjca kiNvaM prati sAvadhAnAH satarkAzca bhavata|
Then Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 tEna tE parasparaM vivicya kathayitumArEbhirE, vayaM pUpAnAnEtuM vismRtavanta EtatkAraNAd iti kathayati|
So they discussed this among themselves, saying, “He must have said this because we brought no bread.”
8 kintu yIzustadvijnjAya tAnavOcat, hE stOkavizvAsinO yUyaM pUpAnAnayanamadhi kutaH parasparamEtad viviMkya?
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you discussing among yourselves, O you of little faith, the fact that you brought no bread?
9 yuSmAbhiH kimadyApi na jnjAyatE? panjcabhiH pUpaiH panjcasahasrapuruSESu bhOjitESu bhakSyOcchiSTapUrNAn kati PalakAn samagRhlItaM;
Do you not yet understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you collected?
10 tathA saptabhiH pUpaizcatuHsahasrapuruSESu bhEjitESu kati PalakAn samagRhlIta, tat kiM yuSmAbhirna smaryyatE?
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you collected?
11 tasmAt phirUzinAM sidUkinAnjca kiNvaM prati sAvadhAnAstiSThata, kathAmimAm ahaM pUpAnadhi nAkathayaM, Etad yUyaM kutO na budhyadhvE?
How could you not understand that I was not talking about bread when I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?”
12 tadAnIM pUpakiNvaM prati sAvadhAnAstiSThatEti nOktvA phirUzinAM sidUkinAnjca upadEzaM prati sAvadhAnAstiSThatEti kathitavAn, iti tairabOdhi|
Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 aparanjca yIzuH kaisariyA-philipipradEzamAgatya ziSyAn apRcchat, yO'haM manujasutaH sO'haM kaH? lOkairahaM kimucyE?
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 tadAnIM tE kathitavantaH, kEcid vadanti tvaM majjayitA yOhan, kEcidvadanti, tvam EliyaH, kEcicca vadanti, tvaM yirimiyO vA kazcid bhaviSyadvAdIti|
They said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that yoʋ are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 pazcAt sa tAn papraccha, yUyaM mAM kaM vadatha? tataH zimOn pitara uvAca,
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 tvamamarEzvarasyAbhiSiktaputraH|
Simon Peter answered, “Yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 tatO yIzuH kathitavAn, hE yUnasaH putra zimOn tvaM dhanyaH; yataH kOpi anujastvayyEtajjnjAnaM nOdapAdayat, kintu mama svargasyaH pitOdapAdayat|
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are yoʋ, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to yoʋ, but my Father in heaven.
18 atO'haM tvAM vadAmi, tvaM pitaraH (prastaraH) ahanjca tasya prastarasyOpari svamaNPalIM nirmmAsyAmi, tEna nirayO balAt tAM parAjEtuM na zakSyati| (Hadēs g86)
And I tell yoʋ that yoʋ are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 ahaM tubhyaM svargIyarAjyasya kunjjikAM dAsyAmi, tEna yat kinjcana tvaM pRthivyAM bhaMtsyasi tatsvargE bhaMtsyatE, yacca kinjcana mahyAM mOkSyasi tat svargE mOkSyatE|
I will give yoʋ the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever yoʋ bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever yoʋ loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 pazcAt sa ziSyAnAdizat, ahamabhiSiktO yIzuriti kathAM kasmaicidapi yUyaM mA kathayata|
Then he commanded his disciples to tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 anyanjca yirUzAlamnagaraM gatvA prAcInalOkEbhyaH pradhAnayAjakEbhya upAdhyAyEbhyazca bahuduHkhabhOgastai rhatatvaM tRtIyadinE punarutthAnanjca mamAvazyakam EtAH kathA yIzustatkAlamArabhya ziSyAn jnjApayitum ArabdhavAn|
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised up.
22 tadAnIM pitarastasya karaM ghRtvA tarjayitvA kathayitumArabdhavAn, hE prabhO, tat tvattO dUraM yAtu, tvAM prati kadApi na ghaTiSyatE|
So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid, Lord! This shall certainly not happen to yoʋ.”
23 kintu sa vadanaM parAvartya pitaraM jagAda, hE vighnakArin, matsammukhAd dUrIbhava, tvaM mAM bAdhasE, IzvarIyakAryyAt mAnuSIyakAryyaM tubhyaM rOcatE|
But he turned around and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! Yoʋ are a stumbling block to me, for yoʋ are not thinking about the things of God, but the things of men.”
24 anantaraM yIzuH svIyaziSyAn uktavAn yaH kazcit mama pazcAdgAmI bhavitum icchati, sa svaM dAmyatu, tathA svakruzaM gRhlan matpazcAdAyAtu|
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to be one of my disciples, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
25 yatO yaH prANAn rakSitumicchati, sa tAn hArayiSyati, kintu yO madarthaM nijaprANAn hArayati, sa tAn prApsyati|
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
26 mAnuSO yadi sarvvaM jagat labhatE nijapraNAn hArayati, tarhi tasya kO lAbhaH? manujO nijaprANAnAM vinimayEna vA kiM dAtuM zaknOti?
For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul?
27 manujasutaH svadUtaiH sAkaM pituH prabhAvENAgamiSyati; tadA pratimanujaM svasvakarmmAnusArAt phalaM dAsyati|
For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
28 ahaM yuSmAn tathyaM vacmi, sarAjyaM manujasutam AgataM na pazyantO mRtyuM na svAdiSyanti, EtAdRzAH katipayajanA atrApi daNPAyamAnAH santi|
Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will certainly not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
