मथिः 20
1 स्वर्गराज्यम् एतादृशा केनचिद् गृहस्येन समं, योऽतिप्रभाते निजद्राक्षाक्षेत्रे कृषकान् नियोक्तुं गतवान्।
For the Administration of Heaven will resemble the conduct of a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 पश्चात् तैः साकं दिनैकभृतिं मुद्राचतुर्थांशं निरूप्य तान् द्राक्षाक्षेत्रं प्रेरयामास।
Having agreed with some for a denarius a-day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 अनन्तरं प्रहरैकवेलायां गत्वा हट्टे कतिपयान् निष्कर्म्मकान् विलोक्य तानवदत्,
About the third hour he went out, and seeing others unemployed in the market place,
4 यूयमपि मम द्राक्षाक्षेत्रं यात, युष्मभ्यमहं योग्यभृतिं दास्यामि, ततस्ते वव्रजुः।
said to them, Go you likewise into my vineyard, and I will give you what is reasonable. Accordingly they went.
5 पुनश्च स द्वितीयतृतीययोः प्रहरयो र्बहि र्गत्वा तथैव कृतवान्।
Again, about the sixth hour, and about the ninth, he went out and did the same.
6 ततो दण्डद्वयावशिष्टायां वेलायां बहि र्गत्वापरान् कतिपयजनान् निष्कर्म्मकान् विलोक्य पृष्टवान्, यूयं किमर्थम् अत्र सर्व्वं दिनं निष्कर्म्माणस्तिष्ठथ?
Lastly, about the eleventh hour, he went out, and finding others standing, said to them, Why do you stand here all the day doing nothing?
7 ते प्रत्यवदन्, अस्मान् न कोपि कर्ममणि नियुंक्ते। तदानीं स कथितवान्, यूयमपि मम द्राक्षाक्षेत्रं यात, तेन योग्यां भृतिं लप्स्यथ।
They answered, Because no person has hired us. He said to them, Go you also into my vineyard, and you shall receive what is reasonable.
8 तदनन्तरं सन्ध्यायां सत्यां सएव द्राक्षाक्षेत्रपतिरध्यक्षं गदिवान्, कृषकान् आहूय शेषजनमारभ्य प्रथमं यावत् तेभ्यो भृतिं देहि।
When it was night, the proprietor of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.
9 तेन ये दण्डद्वयावस्थिते समायातास्तेषाम् एकैको जनो मुद्राचतुर्थांशं प्राप्नोत्।
Then they who had been hired at the eleventh hour came, and received each a denarius.
10 तदानीं प्रथमनियुक्ता जना आगत्यानुमितवन्तो वयमधिकं प्रप्स्यामः, किन्तु तैरपि मुद्राचतुर्थांशोऽलाभि।
When the first came, they imagined they should receive more; but they got only a denarius a-piece.
11 ततस्ते तं गृहीत्वा तेन क्षेत्रपतिना साकं वाग्युद्धं कुर्व्वन्तः कथयामासुः,
Upon receiving it, they murmured against the householder,
12 वयं कृत्स्नं दिनं तापक्लेशौ सोढवन्तः, किन्तु पश्चाताया से जना दण्डद्वयमात्रं परिश्रान्तवन्तस्तेऽस्माभिः समानांशाः कृताः।
saying, These last have worked but one hour; yet you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 ततः स तेषामेकं प्रत्युवाच, हे वत्स, मया त्वां प्रति कोप्यन्यायो न कृतः किं त्वया मत्समक्षं मुद्राचतुर्थांशो नाङ्गीकृतः?
He answering, said to one of them, Friend, I do you no injury. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 तस्मात् तव यत् प्राप्यं तदादाय याहि, तुभ्यं यति, पश्चातीयनियुक्तलोकायापि तति दातुमिच्छामि।
Take what is yours, and depart. It is my will to give to this last as much as to you.
15 स्वेच्छया निजद्रव्यव्यवहरणं किं मया न कर्त्तव्यं? मम दातृत्वात् त्वया किम् ईर्ष्यादृष्टिः क्रियते?
And may not I do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?
16 इत्थम् अग्रीयलोकाः पश्चतीया भविष्यन्ति, पश्चातीयजनाश्चग्रीया भविष्यन्ति, अहूता बहवः किन्त्वल्पे मनोभिलषिताः।
Thus the last shall be first, and first last; for there are many called, but few chosen.
17 तदनन्तरं यीशु र्यिरूशालम्नगरं गच्छन् मार्गमध्ये शिष्यान् एकान्ते वभाषे,
When Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside, and said to them,
18 पश्य वयं यिरूशालम्नगरं यामः, तत्र प्रधानयाजकाध्यापकानां करेषु मनुष्यपुत्रः समर्पिष्यते;
We are now going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, who will condemn him to die,
19 ते च तं हन्तुमाज्ञाप्य तिरस्कृत्य वेत्रेण प्रहर्त्तुं क्रुशे धातयितुञ्चान्यदेशीयानां करेषु समर्पयिष्यन्ति, किन्तु स तृतीयदिवसे श्मशानाद् उत्थापिष्यते।
and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified; but the third day he will rise again.
20 तदानीं सिवदीयस्य नारी स्वपुत्रावादाय यीशोः समीपम् एत्य प्रणम्य कञ्चनानुग्रहं तं ययाचे।
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to him with her sons, and, prostrating herself, entreated he would grant the request she had to make.
21 तदा यीशुस्तां प्रोक्तवान्, त्वं किं याचसे? ततः सा बभाषे, भवतो राजत्वे ममानयोः सुतयोरेकं भवद्दक्षिणपार्श्वे द्वितीयं वामपार्श्व उपवेष्टुम् आज्ञापयतु।
He said to her, What do you wish? She answered, That, in your Reign, one of these my two sons may sit at your right hand, the other at your left.
22 यीशुः प्रत्युवाच, युवाभ्यां यद् याच्यते, तन्न बुध्यते, अहं येन कंसेन पास्यामि युवाभ्यां किं तेन पातुं शक्यते? अहञ्च येन मज्जेनेन मज्जिष्ये, युवाभ्यां किं तेन मज्जयितुं शक्यते? ते जगदुः शक्यते।
Jesus replying, said, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I must drink? They said to him, We can.
23 तदा स उक्तवान्, युवां मम कंसेनावश्यं पास्यथः, मम मज्जनेन च युवामपि मज्जिष्येथे, किन्तु येषां कृते मत्तातेन निरूपितम् इदं तान् विहायान्यं कमपि मद्दक्षिणपार्श्वे वामपार्श्वे च समुपवेशयितुं ममाधिकारो नास्ति।
He answered, You shall indeed drink such a cup. But to sit on my right hand, and at my left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24 एतां कथां श्रुत्वान्ये दशशिष्यास्तौ भ्रातरौ प्रति चुकुपुः।
The then, hearing this, were full of indignation against the two brothers;
25 किन्तु यीशुः स्वसमीपं तानाहूय जगाद, अन्यदेशीयलोकानां नरपतयस्तान् अधिकुर्व्वन्ति, ये तु महान्तस्ते तान् शासति, इति यूयं जानीथ।
but Jesus, calling them to him, said, You know that the Princes of the nations domineer over them, and the great exercise their authority upon them.
26 किन्तु युष्माकं मध्ये न तथा भवेत्, युष्माकं यः कश्चित् महान् बुभूषति, स युष्मान् सेवेत;
It must not be so amongst you: on the contrary, whosoever would become great amongst you, let him be your servant;
27 यश्च युष्माकं मध्ये मुख्यो बुभूषति, स युष्माकं दासो भवेत्।
and whosoever would be chief amongst you, let him be your slave:
28 इत्थं मनुजपुत्रः सेव्यो भवितुं नहि, किन्तु सेवितुं बहूनां परित्राणमूल्यार्थं स्वप्राणान् दातुञ्चागतः।
even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 अनन्तरं यिरीहोनगरात् तेषां बहिर्गमनसमये तस्य पश्चाद् बहवो लोका वव्रजुः।
As they left Jericho, followed by a great multitude,
30 अपरं वर्त्मपार्श्व उपविशन्तौ द्वावन्धौ तेन मार्गेण यीशो र्गमनं निशम्य प्रोच्चैः कथयामासतुः, हे प्रभो दायूदः सन्तान, आवयो र्दयां विधेहि।
two blind men, who sat by the way-side, hearing that Jesus passed by cried, saying, Master, Son of David, have pity on us.
31 ततो लोकाः सर्व्वे तुष्णीम्भवतमित्युक्त्वा तौ तर्जयामासुः; तथापि तौ पुनरुच्चैः कथयामासतुः हे प्रभो दायूदः सन्तान, आवां दयस्व।
The multitude charged them to be silent: but they cried the louder, saying, Master, Son of David, have pity on us.
32 तदानीं यीशुः स्थगितः सन् तावाहूय भाषितवान्, युवयोः कृते मया किं कर्त्तर्व्यं? युवां किं कामयेथे?
Then Jesus stopping, called them, and said, What do you want me to do for you?
33 तदा तावुक्तवन्तौ, प्रभो नेत्राणि नौ प्रसन्नानि भवेयुः।
They answered, Sir, to make us see.
34 तदानीं यीशुस्तौ प्रति प्रमन्नः सन् तयो र्नेत्राणि पस्पर्श, तेनैव तौ सुवीक्षाञ्चक्राते तत्पश्चात् जग्मुतुश्च।
Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. Immediately they received sight, and followed him.
