mathiH 22
1 anantaraM yIzuH punarapi dRSTAntEna tAn avAdIt,
AND Jeshu answered again by comparisons, and said,
2 svargIyarAjyam EtAdRzasya nRpatEH samaM, yO nija putraM vivAhayan sarvvAn nimantritAn AnEtuM dAsEyAn prahitavAn,
The kingdom of heaven resembles a royal person who made a feast to his son;
3 kintu tE samAgantuM nESTavantaH|
and he sent his servants to call the invited ones to the feast, but they were not willing to come.
4 tatO rAjA punarapi dAsAnanyAn ityuktvA prESayAmAsa, nimantritAn vadata, pazyata, mama bhEjyamAsAditamAstE, nijavTaSAdipuSTajantUn mArayitvA sarvvaM khAdyadravyamAsAditavAn, yUyaM vivAhamAgacchata|
And again he sent other servants, and said, Tell the invited ones, Behold, my dinner is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
5 tathapi tE tucchIkRtya kEcit nijakSEtraM kEcid vANijyaM prati svasvamArgENa calitavantaH|
But they despised (it), and went, one to his domain, and another to his business.
6 anyE lOkAstasya dAsEyAn dhRtvA daurAtmyaM vyavahRtya tAnavadhiSuH|
But the rest took his servants and shamefully treated and killed (them).
7 anantaraM sa nRpatistAM vArttAM zrutvA krudhyan sainyAni prahitya tAn ghAtakAn hatvA tESAM nagaraM dAhayAmAsa|
But when the king heard, he was wroth; and sent his forces and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 tataH sa nijadAsEyAn babhASE, vivAhIyaM bhOjyamAsAditamAstE, kintu nimantritA janA ayOgyAH|
Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, and those who were invited were not worthy.
9 tasmAd yUyaM rAjamArgaM gatvA yAvatO manujAn pazyata, tAvataEva vivAhIyabhOjyAya nimantrayata|
Go therefore into the outlets of the highways, and every one whom you find call to the feast.
10 tadA tE dAsEyA rAjamArgaM gatvA bhadrAn abhadrAn vA yAvatO janAn dadRzuH, tAvataEva saMgRhyAnayan; tatO'bhyAgatamanujai rvivAhagRham apUryyata|
And those servants went forth into the highways, and assembled all whom they found, the bad and the good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests,
11 tadAnIM sa rAjA sarvvAnabhyAgatAn draSTum abhyantaramAgatavAn; tadA tatra vivAhIyavasanahInamEkaM janaM vIkSya taM jagAd,
And the king entered to see the guests, and he saw there a man who was not dressed in the garments of a festival.
12 hE mitra, tvaM vivAhIyavasanaM vinA kathamatra praviSTavAn? tEna sa niruttarO babhUva|
And he said to him, My friend, how didst thou enter here, when thou hast not the vestments of the feast? But he was silent.
13 tadA rAjA nijAnucarAn avadat, Etasya karacaraNAn baddhA yatra rOdanaM dantairdantagharSaNanjca bhavati, tatra vahirbhUtatamisrE taM nikSipata|
Then said the king unto the servitors, Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him forth into the darknesses without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 itthaM bahava AhUtA alpE manObhimatAH|
For many are the called, but few the chosen.
15 anantaraM phirUzinaH pragatya yathA saMlApEna tam unmAthE pAtayEyustathA mantrayitvA
THEN went the Pharishee and took counsel how they might ensnare him in discourse.
16 hErOdIyamanujaiH sAkaM nijaziSyagaNEna taM prati kathayAmAsuH, hE gurO, bhavAn satyaH satyamIzvarIyamArgamupadizati, kamapi mAnuSaM nAnurudhyatE, kamapi nApEkSatE ca, tad vayaM jAnImaH|
And they sent to him their disciples with (certain) of the household of Herodes, saying to him, Doctor, we know that thou art resolutely true, and (that) the way of Aloha in truth thou teachest; neither carriest thou fear for man, for thou acceptest not the person of men.
17 ataH kaisarabhUpAya karO'smAkaM dAtavyO na vA? atra bhavatA kiM budhyatE? tad asmAn vadatu|
Tell us then, how doth it appear to thee? is it lawful to give head-money unto Cesar or not?
18 tatO yIzustESAM khalatAM vijnjAya kathitavAn, rE kapaTinaH yuyaM kutO mAM parikSadhvE?
But Jeshu knew their malice, and said, Why do you tempt me, you hypocrites?
19 tatkaradAnasya mudrAM mAM darzayata| tadAnIM taistasya samIpaM mudrAcaturthabhAga AnItE
Show me the denarius of the head-silver. And they presented to him a denarius.
20 sa tAn papraccha, atra kasyEyaM mUrtti rnAma cAstE? tE jagaduH, kaisarabhUpasya|
And Jeshu said to them, Whose are this image and inscription?
21 tataH sa uktavAna, kaisarasya yat tat kaisarAya datta, Izvarasya yat tad IzvarAya datta|
They say, Cesar's. He saith to them, Give then (the things) of Cesar unto Cesar, and (the things) of Aloha unto Aloha.
22 iti vAkyaM nizamya tE vismayaM vijnjAya taM vihAya calitavantaH|
And when they heard, they wondered, and left him, and went.
23 tasminnahani sidUkinO'rthAt zmazAnAt nOtthAsyantIti vAkyaM yE vadanti, tE yIzErantikam Agatya papracchuH,
IN that (same) day came the Zadukoyee, affirming to him, (that) there is no life for the dead. And they questioned him,
24 hE gurO, kazcinmanujazcEt niHsantAnaH san prANAn tyajati, tarhi tasya bhrAtA tasya jAyAM vyuhya bhrAtuH santAnam utpAdayiSyatIti mUsA AdiSTavAn|
saying to him, Doctor, Musha has said to us that if a man die having no children, his brother shall take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 kintvasmAkamatra kE'pi janAH saptasahOdarA Asan, tESAM jyESTha EkAM kanyAM vyavahAt, aparaM prANatyAgakAlE svayaM niHsantAnaH san tAM striyaM svabhrAtari samarpitavAn,
But there were with us seven brethren: the eldest (of whom) took a wife, and died. And because he had no children, he left his wife unto his brother.
26 tatO dvitIyAdisaptamAntAzca tathaiva cakruH|
So also did he who was second, and he who was the third, and unto the seventh of them.
27 zESE sApI nArI mamAra|
But the last of all the woman also is dead.
28 mRtAnAm utthAnasamayE tESAM saptAnAM madhyE sA nArI kasya bhAryyA bhaviSyati? yasmAt sarvvaEva tAM vyavahan|
In the resurrection, therefore, of whom from these seven shall she be the wife? for all had taken her.
29 tatO yIzuH pratyavAdIt, yUyaM dharmmapustakam IzvarIyAM zaktinjca na vijnjAya bhrAntimantaH|
Jeshu answered and said to them, You do err, because you understand not the scriptures nor the power of Aloha.
30 utthAnaprAptA lOkA na vivahanti, na ca vAcA dIyantE, kintvIzvarasya svargasthadUtAnAM sadRzA bhavanti|
For in the resurrection of the dead, they take not wives, neither are wives to husbands; but as the angels of Aloha in heaven are they.
31 aparaM mRtAnAmutthAnamadhi yuSmAn pratIyamIzvarOktiH,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which has been spoken to you by Aloha, who said,
32 "ahamibrAhIma Izvara ishAka IzvarO yAkUba Izvara" iti kiM yuSmAbhi rnApAThi? kintvIzvarO jIvatAm Izvara: , sa mRtAnAmIzvarO nahi|
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Is'hok, the God of Jakub? But Aloha is not of those who are dead, but of those who are alive.
33 iti zrutvA sarvvE lOkAstasyOpadEzAd vismayaM gatAH|
And when the multitudes heard, they were wonder-struck at his doctrine.
34 anantaraM sidUkinAm niruttaratvavArtAM nizamya phirUzina Ekatra militavantaH,
BUT when the Pharishee heard that he had silenced the Zadukoyee, they gathered together.
35 tESAmEkO vyavasthApakO yIzuM parIkSituM papaccha,
And one from them, who was skilful in the law, questioned him, tempting him,
36 hE gurO vyavasthAzAstramadhyE kAjnjA zrESThA?
Doctor, which commandment is greatest in the law?
37 tatO yIzuruvAca, tvaM sarvvAntaHkaraNaiH sarvvaprANaiH sarvvacittaizca sAkaM prabhau paramEzvarE prIyasva,
Jeshu said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind.
38 ESA prathamamahAjnjA| tasyAH sadRzI dvitIyAjnjaiSA,
This is the commandment, the great and the first.
39 tava samIpavAsini svAtmanIva prEma kuru|
And the second is like unto it, That thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 anayO rdvayOrAjnjayOH kRtsnavyavasthAyA bhaviSyadvaktRgranthasya ca bhArastiSThati|
On these two commandments hang the law and the prophets.
41 anantaraM phirUzinAm Ekatra sthitikAlE yIzustAn papraccha,
while the Pharishee were gathered together, Jeshu questioned them,
42 khrISTamadhi yuSmAkaM kIdRgbOdhO jAyatE? sa kasya santAnaH? tatastE pratyavadan, dAyUdaH santAnaH|
and said, What say you concerning the Meshicha, -whose son? They say to him, Son of David.
43 tadA sa uktavAn, tarhi dAyUd katham AtmAdhiSThAnEna taM prabhuM vadati?
Saith he to them, And how doth David in spirit call him THE LORD? For he said,
44 yathA mama prabhumidaM vAkyamavadat paramEzvaraH| tavArIn pAdapIThaM tE yAvannahi karOmyahaM| tAvat kAlaM madIyE tvaM dakSapArzva upAviza| atO yadi dAyUd taM prabhuM vadati, rtiha sa kathaM tasya santAnO bhavati?
that the Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I put thine adversaries beneath thy feet.
45 tadAnIM tESAM kOpi tadvAkyasya kimapyuttaraM dAtuM nAzaknOt;
If, then, David calleth him the Lord, how is he his son?
46 taddinamArabhya taM kimapi vAkyaM praSTuM kasyApi sAhasO nAbhavat|
And no man could give to him the answer; nor did any man dare again from that day to question him.
