And there came unto him Pharisees, testing him, and saying, —Whether is it allowed a man to divorce his wife, for every cause?

And, he, answering, said—Did ye never read—He who created at the beginning, Male and female, made them, —
5 mAnuSaH svapitarau parityajya svapatnyAm AsakSyatE, tau dvau janAvEkAggau bhaviSyataH, kimEtad yuSmAbhi rna paThitam?
and said—For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and be united to his wife, —and, the two, will become, one flesh;
6 atastau puna rna dvau tayOrEkAggatvaM jAtaM, IzvarENa yacca samayujyata, manujO na tad bhindyAt|
So that, the longer, are they, two, but, one flesh, What, therefore, God, hath yoked together, Let not, a man, put asunder.
7 tadAnIM tE taM pratyavadan, tathAtvE tyAjyapatraM dattvA svAM svAM jAyAM tyaktuM vyavasthAM mUsAH kathaM lilEkha?
They say unto him—Why then did, Moses, command, to give a writing of repudiation and to divorce?

He saith unto them—Moses, in view of your hardness of heart, permitted you to divorce your wives; From the beginning however, hath it not been done, thus.
9 atO yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, vyabhicAraM vinA yO nijajAyAM tyajEt anyAnjca vivahEt, sa paradArAn gacchati; yazca tyaktAM nArIM vivahati sOpi paradArESu ramatE|

The disciples say unto him—If, so, is the cause of the husband with the wife, it is not expedient to marry.

But, he, said unto them—Not all, find room for he word, save they to whom it hath been given;
12 katipayA jananaklIbaH katipayA narakRtaklIbaH svargarAjyAya katipayAH svakRtaklIbAzca santi, yE grahItuM zaknuvanti tE gRhlantu|
For there, are, eunuchs, who, from their mother’s womb, were born so, and there, are, eunuchs, who were made eunuchs, by men, —and there, are, eunuchs, who have made, themselves, eunuchs, for the sake the kingdom of the heavens: He that is able to find room, let him find room.

But, Jesus, said—Suffer the children—and do not hinder them—to come unto me, —for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.
15 tataH sa tESAM gAtrESu hastaM datvA tasmAt sthAnAt pratasthE|
And, laying his hands upon them, he went his way from thence.

And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
17 tataH sa uvAca, mAM paramaM kutO vadasi? vinEzcaraM na kOpi paramaH, kintu yadyanantAyuH prAptuM vAnjchasi, tarhyAjnjAH pAlaya|
And, he, said unto him—Why dost thou question me concerning that which is good? There is, One, that is good! But, if thou desirest, into life, to enter, be keeping the commandments.
18 tadA sa pRSTavAn, kAH kA AjnjAH? tatO yIzuH kathitavAn, naraM mA hanyAH, paradArAn mA gacchEH, mA cOrayEH, mRSAsAkSyaM mA dadyAH,
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said—These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, —Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 nijapitarau saMmanyasva, svasamIpavAsini svavat prEma kuru|
Honour thy father and thy mother, —and—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.

The young man saith unto him—These all, have I kept, —What, further, do I lack?

Jesus said unto him—If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.
22 EtAM vAcaM zrutvA sa yuvA svIyabahusampattE rviSaNaH san calitavAn|
And the young man, hearing, this word, went away sorrowing, —for he was holding large possessions.
23 tadA yIzuH svaziSyAn avadat, dhaninAM svargarAjyapravEzO mahAduSkara iti yuSmAnahaM tathyaM vadAmi|
And, Jesus, said unto his disciples—Verily, I say unto you, A rich man, with difficulty, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
24 punarapi yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, dhaninAM svargarAjyapravEzAt sUcIchidrENa mahAggagamanaM sukaraM|
Again I say unto you—Easier, is it for, a camel, through the eye of a needle, to enter, than a rich man—into the kingdom of God.

And, hearing it, the disciples were being struck with the greatest astonishment, saying—Who then can be saved?

Then, making answer, Peter said unto him—Lo! we, have left all, and followed thee, —What then shall there be, for us?

And, Jesus, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, As for you who followed me in the regeneration, When the Son of Man shall take his seat on his throne of glory, ye also, shall be seated upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 anyacca yaH kazcit mama nAmakAraNAt gRhaM vA bhrAtaraM vA bhaginIM vA pitaraM vA mAtaraM vA jAyAM vA bAlakaM vA bhUmiM parityajati, sa tESAM zataguNaM lapsyatE, anantAyumO'dhikAritvanjca prApsyati| (aiōnios g166)
