योहनः 12
1 निस्तारोत्सवात् पूर्व्वं दिनषट्के स्थिते यीशु र्यं प्रमीतम् इलियासरं श्मशानाद् उदस्थापरत् तस्य निवासस्थानं बैथनियाग्रामम् आगच्छत्।
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
2 तत्र तदर्थं रजन्यां भोज्ये कृते मर्था पर्य्यवेषयद् इलियासर् च तस्य सङ्गिभिः सार्द्धं भोजनासन उपाविशत्।
There a supper was given in his honor at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
3 तदा मरियम् अर्द्धसेटकं बहुमूल्यं जटामांसीयं तैलम् आनीय यीशोश्चरणयो र्मर्द्दयित्वा निजकेश र्मार्ष्टुम् आरभत; तदा तैलस्य परिमलेन गृहम् आमोदितम् अभवत्।
So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
4 यः शिमोनः पुत्र र्इष्करियोतीयो यिहूदानामा यीशुं परकरेषु समर्पयिष्यति स शिष्यस्तदा कथितवान्,
One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
5 एतत्तैलं त्रिभिः शतै र्मुद्रापदै र्विक्रीतं सद् दरिद्रेभ्यः कुतो नादीयत?
“Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?”
6 स दरिद्रलोकार्थम् अचिन्तयद् इति न, किन्तु स चौर एवं तन्निकटे मुद्रासम्पुटकस्थित्या तन्मध्ये यदतिष्ठत् तदपाहरत् तस्मात् कारणाद् इमां कथामकथयत्।
He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
7 तदा यीशुरकथयद् एनां मा वारय सा मम श्मशानस्थापनदिनार्थं तदरक्षयत्।
“Leave her alone,” said Jesus, “so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
8 दरिद्रा युष्माकं सन्निधौ सर्व्वदा तिष्ठन्ति किन्त्वहं सर्व्वदा युष्माकं सन्निधौ न तिष्ठामि।
The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.”
9 ततः परं यीशुस्तत्रास्तीति वार्त्तां श्रुत्वा बहवो यिहूदीयास्तं श्मशानादुत्थापितम् इलियासरञ्च द्रष्टुं तत् स्थानम् आगच्छन।
Now great numbers of people found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 तदा प्रधानयाजकास्तम् इलियासरमपि संहर्त्तुम् अमन्त्रयन्;
The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
11 यतस्तेन बहवो यिहूदीया गत्वा यीशौ व्यश्वसन्।
because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
12 अनन्तरं यीशु र्यिरूशालम् नगरम् आगच्छतीति वार्त्तां श्रुत्वा परेऽहनि उत्सवागता बहवो लोकाः
On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm branches,
13 खर्ज्जूरपत्राद्यानीय तं साक्षात् कर्त्तुं बहिरागत्य जय जयेति वाचं प्रोच्चै र्वक्तुम् आरभन्त, इस्रायेलो यो राजा परमेश्वरस्य नाम्नागच्छति स धन्यः।
and went out to meet him, shouting as they went, “God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord – the king of Israel!”
14 तदा "हे सियोनः कन्ये मा भैषीः पश्यायं तव राजा गर्द्दभशावकम् आरुह्यागच्छति"
Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
15 इति शास्त्रीयवचनानुसारेण यीशुरेकं युवगर्द्दभं प्राप्य तदुपर्य्यारोहत्।
‘Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.’
16 अस्याः घटनायास्तात्पर्य्यं शिष्याः प्रथमं नाबुध्यन्त, किन्तु यीशौ महिमानं प्राप्ते सति वाक्यमिदं तस्मिन अकथ्यत लोकाश्च तम्प्रतीत्थम् अकुर्व्वन् इति ते स्मृतवन्तः।
His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
17 स इलियासरं श्मशानाद् आगन्तुम् आह्वतवान् श्मशानाञ्च उदस्थापयद् ये ये लोकास्तत्कर्म्य साक्षाद् अपश्यन् ते प्रमाणं दातुम् आरभन्त।
Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
18 स एतादृशम् अद्भुतं कर्म्मकरोत् तस्य जनश्रुते र्लोकास्तं साक्षात् कर्त्तुम् आगच्छन्।
This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
19 ततः फिरूशिनः परस्परं वक्तुम् आरभन्त युष्माकं सर्व्वाश्चेष्टा वृथा जाताः, इति किं यूयं न बुध्यध्वे? पश्यत सर्व्वे लोकास्तस्य पश्चाद्वर्त्तिनोभवन्।
So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!”
20 भजनं कर्त्तुम् उत्सवागतानां लोकानां कतिपया जना अन्यदेशीया आसन्,
Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
21 ते गालीलीयबैत्सैदानिवासिनः फिलिपस्य समीपम् आगत्य व्याहरन् हे महेच्छ वयं यीशुं द्रष्टुम् इच्छामः।
who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 ततः फिलिपो गत्वा आन्द्रियम् अवदत् पश्चाद् आन्द्रियफिलिपौ यीशवे वार्त्ताम् अकथयतां।
Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
23 तदा यीशुः प्रत्युदितवान् मानवसुतस्य महिमप्राप्तिसमय उपस्थितः।
This was his reply – “The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
24 अहं युष्मानतियथार्थं वदामि, धान्यबीजं मृत्तिकायां पतित्वा यदि न मृयते तर्ह्येकाकी तिष्ठति किन्तु यदि मृयते तर्हि बहुगुणं फलं फलति।
In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
25 यो जनेा निजप्राणान् प्रियान् जानाति स तान् हारयिष्यति किन्तु येा जन इहलोके निजप्राणान् अप्रियान् जानाति सेानन्तायुः प्राप्तुं तान् रक्षिष्यति। (aiōnios g166)
A person who loves their life loses it; while someone who hates their life in the present world will preserve it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 कश्चिद् यदि मम सेवको भवितुं वाञ्छति तर्हि स मम पश्चाद्गामी भवतु, तस्माद् अहं यत्र तिष्ठामि मम सेवकेापि तत्र स्थास्यति; यो जनो मां सेवते मम पितापि तं सम्मंस्यते।
If someone is ready to serve me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If a person is ready to serve me, my Father will honor them.
27 साम्प्रतं मम प्राणा व्याकुला भवन्ति, तस्माद् हे पितर एतस्मात् समयान् मां रक्ष, इत्यहं किं प्रार्थयिष्ये? किन्त्वहम् एतत्समयार्थम् अवतीर्णवान्।
Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour – yet it was for this reason that I came to this hour –
28 हे पित: स्वनाम्नो महिमानं प्रकाशय; तनैव स्वनाम्नो महिमानम् अहं प्राकाशयं पुनरपि प्रकाशयिष्यामि, एषा गगणीया वाणी तस्मिन् समयेऽजायत।
Father, honor your own name.” At this there came a voice from heaven, which said, “I have already honored it, and I will honor it again.”
29 तच्श्रुत्वा समीपस्थलोकानां केचिद् अवदन् मेघोऽगर्जीत्, केचिद् अवदन् स्वर्गीयदूतोऽनेन सह कथामचकथत्।
The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, “An angel has been speaking to him.”
30 तदा यीशुः प्रत्यवादीत्, मदर्थं शब्दोयं नाभूत् युष्मदर्थमेवाभूत्।
“It was not for my sake that the voice came,” said Jesus, “but for yours.
31 अधुना जगतोस्य विचार: सम्पत्स्यते, अधुनास्य जगत: पती राज्यात् च्योष्यति।
Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
32 यद्यई पृथिव्या ऊर्द्व्वे प्रोत्थापितोस्मि तर्हि सर्व्वान् मानवान् स्वसमीपम् आकर्षिष्यामि।
and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
33 कथं तस्य मृति र्भविष्यति, एतद् बोधयितुं स इमां कथाम् अकथयत्।
By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
34 तदा लोका अकथयन् सोभिषिक्तः सर्व्वदा तिष्ठतीति व्यवस्थाग्रन्थे श्रुतम् अस्माभिः, तर्हि मनुष्यपुत्रः प्रोत्थापितो भविष्यतीति वाक्यं कथं वदसि? मनुष्यपुत्रोयं कः? (aiōn g165)
“We,” replied the people, “have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be ‘lifted up’ Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (aiōn g165)
35 तदा यीशुरकथायद् युष्माभिः सार्द्धम् अल्पदिनानि ज्योतिरास्ते, यथा युष्मान् अन्धकारो नाच्छादयति तदर्थं यावत्कालं युष्माभिः सार्द्धं ज्योतिस्तिष्ठति तावत्कालं गच्छत; यो जनोऽन्धकारे गच्छति स कुत्र यातीति न जानाति।
“Only a little while longer,” answered Jesus, “will you have the light among you. Travel on while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 अतएव यावत्कालं युष्माकं निकटे ज्योतिरास्ते तावत्कालं ज्योतीरूपसन्ताना भवितुं ज्योतिषि विश्वसित; इमां कथां कथयित्वा यीशुः प्रस्थाय तेभ्यः स्वं गुप्तवान्।
While you still have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of light.” After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
37 यद्यपि यीशुस्तेषां समक्षम् एतावदाश्चर्य्यकर्म्माणि कृतवान् तथापि ते तस्मिन् न व्यश्वसन्।
But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
38 अतएव कः प्रत्येति सुसंवादं परेशास्मत् प्रचारितं? प्रकाशते परेशस्य हस्तः कस्य च सन्निधौ? यिशयियभविष्यद्वादिना यदेतद् वाक्यमुक्तं तत् सफलम् अभवत्।
in fulfillment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, where he says – ‘Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?’
39 ते प्रत्येतुं नाशन्कुवन् तस्मिन् यिशयियभविष्यद्वादि पुनरवादीद्,
The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
40 यदा, "ते नयनै र्न पश्यन्ति बुद्धिभिश्च न बुध्यन्ते तै र्मनःसु परिवर्त्तितेषु च तानहं यथा स्वस्थान् न करोमि तथा स तेषां लोचनान्यन्धानि कृत्वा तेषामन्तःकरणानि गाढानि करिष्यति।"
‘He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn – And I should heal them.’
41 यिशयियो यदा यीशो र्महिमानं विलोक्य तस्मिन् कथामकथयत् तदा भविष्यद्वाक्यम् ईदृशं प्रकाशयत्।
Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
42 तथाप्यधिपतिनां बहवस्तस्मिन् प्रत्यायन्। किन्तु फिरूशिनस्तान् भजनगृहाद् दूरीकुर्व्वन्तीति भयात् ते तं न स्वीकृतवन्तः।
Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, because they were afraid that they should be expelled from their synagogues;
43 यत ईश्वरस्य प्रशंसातो मानवानां प्रशंसायां तेऽप्रियन्त।
for they valued honor from people more than honor from God.
44 तदा यीशुरुच्चैःकारम् अकथयद् यो जनो मयि विश्वसिति स केवले मयि विश्वसितीति न, स मत्प्रेरकेऽपि विश्वसिति।
But Jesus had proclaimed, “He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
45 यो जनो मां पश्यति स मत्प्रेरकमपि पश्यति।
and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 यो जनो मां प्रत्येति स यथान्धकारे न तिष्ठति तदर्थम् अहं ज्योतिःस्वरूपो भूत्वा जगत्यस्मिन् अवतीर्णवान्।
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
47 मम कथां श्रुत्वा यदि कश्चिन् न विश्वसिति तर्हि तमहं दोषिणं न करोमि, यतो हेतो र्जगतो जनानां दोषान् निश्चितान् कर्त्तुं नागत्य तान् परिचातुम् आगतोस्मि।
When anyone hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 यः कश्चिन् मां न श्रद्धाय मम कथं न गृह्लाति, अन्यस्तं दोषिणं करिष्यति वस्तुतस्तु यां कथामहम् अचकथं सा कथा चरमेऽन्हि तं दोषिणं करिष्यति।
He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already – the message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last day.
49 यतो हेतोरहं स्वतः किमपि न कथयामि, किं किं मया कथयितव्यं किं समुपदेष्टव्यञ्च इति मत्प्रेरयिता पिता मामाज्ञापयत्।
For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
