1 anantaraM yIzurekadA gineSarathdasya tIra uttiSThati, tadA lokA IzvarIyakathAM zrotuM tadupari prapatitAH|
And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,
2 tadAnIM sa hdasya tIrasamIpe naudvayaM dadarza kiJca matsyopajIvino nAvaM vihAya jAlaM prakSAlayanti|
and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets,
3 tatastayordvayo rmadhye zimono nAvamAruhya tIrAt kiJciddUraM yAtuM tasmin vinayaM kRtvA naukAyAmupavizya lokAn propadiSTavAn|
and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon's, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.
4 pazcAt taM prastAvaM samApya sa zimonaM vyAjahAra, gabhIraM jalaM gatvA matsyAn dharttuM jAlaM nikSipa|
And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, 'Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;'
5 tataH zimona babhASe, he guro yadyapi vayaM kRtsnAM yAminIM parizramya matsyaikamapi na prAptAstathApi bhavato nidezato jAlaM kSipAmaH|
and Simon answering said to him, 'Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'
6 atha jAle kSipte bahumatsyapatanAd AnAyaH pracchinnaH|
And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking,
7 tasmAd upakarttum anyanausthAn saGgina AyAtum iGgitena samAhvayan tatasta Agatya matsyai rnaudvayaM prapUrayAmAsu ryai rnaudvayaM pramagnam|
and they beckoned to the partners, who [are] in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.
8 tadA zimonpitarastad vilokya yIzozcaraNayoH patitvA, he prabhohaM pApI naro mama nikaTAd bhavAn yAtu, iti kathitavAn|
And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, 'Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'
9 yato jAle patitAnAM matsyAnAM yUthAt zimon tatsaGginazca camatkRtavantaH; zimonaH sahakAriNau sivadeH putrau yAkUb yohan cemau tAdRzau babhUvatuH|
for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,
10 tadA yIzuH zimonaM jagAda mA bhaiSIradyArabhya tvaM manuSyadharo bhaviSyasi|
and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, 'Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;'
11 anantaraM sarvvAsu nausu tIram AnItAsu te sarvvAn parityajya tasya pazcAdgAmino babhUvuH|
and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.
12 tataH paraM yIzau kasmiMzcit pure tiSThati jana ekaH sarvvAGgakuSThastaM vilokya tasya samIpe nyubjaH patitvA savinayaM vaktumArebhe, he prabho yadi bhavAnicchati tarhi mAM pariSkarttuM zaknoti|
And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on [his] face, he besought him, saying, 'Sir, if thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me;'
13 tadAnIM sa pANiM prasAryya tadaGgaM spRzan babhASe tvaM pariSkriyasveti mamecchAsti tatastatkSaNaM sa kuSThAt muktaH|
and having stretched forth [his] hand, he touched him, having said, 'I will; be thou cleansed;' and immediately the leprosy went away from him.
14 pazcAt sa tamAjJApayAmAsa kathAmimAM kasmaicid akathayitvA yAjakasya samIpaJca gatvA svaM darzaya, lokebhyo nijapariSkRtatvasya pramANadAnAya mUsAjJAnusAreNa dravyamutmRjasva ca|
And he charged him to tell no one, 'But, having gone away, shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;'
15 tathApi yIzoH sukhyAti rbahu vyAptumArebhe kiJca tasya kathAM zrotuM svIyarogebhyo moktuJca lokA AjagmuH|
but the more was the report going abroad concerning him, and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities,
16 atha sa prAntaraM gatvA prArthayAJcakre|
and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was praying.
17 aparaJca ekadA yIzurupadizati, etarhi gAlIlyihUdApradezayoH sarvvanagarebhyo yirUzAlamazca kiyantaH phirUzilokA vyavasthApakAzca samAgatya tadantike samupavivizuH, tasmin kAle lokAnAmArogyakAraNAt prabhoH prabhAvaH pracakAze|
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was — to heal them.
18 pazcAt kiyanto lokA ekaM pakSAghAtinaM khaTvAyAM nidhAya yIzoH samIpamAnetuM sammukhe sthApayituJca vyApriyanta|
And lo, men bearing upon a couch a man, who hath been struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place before him,
19 kintu bahujananivahasamvAdhAt na zaknuvanto gRhopari gatvA gRhapRSThaM khanitvA taM pakSAghAtinaM sakhaTvaM gRhamadhye yIzoH sammukhe 'varohayAmAsuH|
and not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus,
20 tadA yIzusteSAm IdRzaM vizvAsaM vilokya taM pakSAghAtinaM vyAjahAra, he mAnava tava pApamakSamyata|
and he having seen their faith, said to him, 'Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'
21 tasmAd adhyApakAH phirUzinazca cittairitthaM pracintitavantaH, eSa jana IzvaraM nindati koyaM? kevalamIzvaraM vinA pApaM kSantuM kaH zaknoti?
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, 'Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'
22 tadA yIzusteSAm itthaM cintanaM viditvA tebhyokathayad yUyaM manobhiH kuto vitarkayatha?
And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, 'What reason ye in your hearts?
23 tava pApakSamA jAtA yadvA tvamutthAya vraja etayo rmadhye kA kathA sukathyA?
which is easier — to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?
24 kintu pRthivyAM pApaM kSantuM mAnavasutasya sAmarthyamastIti yathA yUyaM jJAtuM zaknutha tadarthaM (sa taM pakSAghAtinaM jagAda) uttiSTha svazayyAM gRhItvA gRhaM yAhIti tvAmAdizAmi|
'And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins — (he said to the one struck with palsy) — I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.'
25 tasmAt sa tatkSaNam utthAya sarvveSAM sAkSAt nijazayanIyaM gRhItvA IzvaraM dhanyaM vadan nijanivezanaM yayau|
And presently having risen before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,
26 tasmAt sarvve vismaya prAptA manaHsu bhItAzca vayamadyAsambhavakAryyANyadarzAma ityuktvA paramezvaraM dhanyaM proditAH|
and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying — 'We saw strange things to-day.'
27 tataH paraM bahirgacchan karasaJcayasthAne levinAmAnaM karasaJcAyakaM dRSTvA yIzustamabhidadhe mama pazcAdehi|
And after these things he went forth, and beheld a tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, 'Be following me;'
28 tasmAt sa tatkSaNAt sarvvaM parityajya tasya pazcAdiyAya|
and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him.
29 anantaraM levi rnijagRhe tadarthaM mahAbhojyaM cakAra, tadA taiH sahAneke karasaJcAyinastadanyalokAzca bhoktumupavivizuH|
And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),
30 tasmAt kAraNAt caNDAlAnAM pApilokAnAJca saGge yUyaM kuto bhaMgdhve pivatha ceti kathAM kathayitvA phirUzino'dhyApakAzca tasya ziSyaiH saha vAgyuddhaM karttumArebhire|
and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, 'Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?'
31 tasmAd yIzustAn pratyavocad arogalokAnAM cikitsakena prayojanaM nAsti kintu sarogANAmeva|
And Jesus answering said unto them, 'They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:
32 ahaM dhArmmikAn AhvAtuM nAgatosmi kintu manaH parAvarttayituM pApina eva|
I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'
33 tataste procuH, yohanaH phirUzinAJca ziSyA vAraMvAram upavasanti prArthayante ca kintu tava ziSyAH kuto bhuJjate pivanti ca?
And they said unto him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications — in like manner also those of the Pharisees — but thine do eat and drink?'
34 tadA sa tAnAcakhyau vare saGge tiSThati varasya sakhigaNaM kimupavAsayituM zaknutha?
And he said unto them, 'Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber — in the bridegroom being with them — to fast?
35 kintu yadA teSAM nikaTAd varo neSyate tadA te samupavatsyanti|
but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.'
36 soparamapi dRSTAntaM kathayAmbabhUva purAtanavastre kopi nutanavastraM na sIvyati yatastena sevanena jIrNavastraM chidyate, nUtanapurAtanavastrayo rmelaJca na bhavati|
And he spake also a simile unto them — 'No one a patch of new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not agree, that [is] from the new.
37 purAtanyAM kutvAM kopi nutanaM drAkSArasaM na nidadhAti, yato navInadrAkSArasasya tejasA purAtanI kutU rvidIryyate tato drAkSArasaH patati kutUzca nazyati|
'And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
38 tato heto rnUtanyAM kutvAM navInadrAkSArasaH nidhAtavyastenobhayasya rakSA bhavati|
but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;
39 aparaJca purAtanaM drAkSArasaM pItvA kopi nUtanaM na vAJchati, yataH sa vakti nUtanAt purAtanam prazastam|
and no one having drunk old [wine], doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.'
