1 aparaJca yIzu rdvAdazabhiH ziSyaiH sArddhaM nAnAnagareSu nAnAgrAmeSu ca gacchan izvarIyarAjatvasya susaMvAdaM pracArayituM prArebhe|
AND it was after these things that Jeshu itinerated among the cities and villages, and preached and announced the kingdom of Aloha, and his twelve with him,
2 tadA yasyAH sapta bhUtA niragacchan sA magdalInIti vikhyAtA mariyam herodrAjasya gRhAdhipateH hoSe rbhAryyA yohanA zUzAnA
and those women who had been healed from infirmities and from evil spirits, Mariam who was called Magdalitha, she from whom he had cast out seven devils,
3 prabhRtayo yA bahvyaH striyaH duSTabhUtebhyo rogebhyazca muktAH satyo nijavibhUtI rvyayitvA tamasevanta, tAH sarvvAstena sArddham Asan|
and Juchana the wife of Kusa, chief of the household of Herodes, and Shushan, and many others, who ministered unto him from their possessions.
4 anantaraM nAnAnagarebhyo bahavo lokA Agatya tasya samIpe'milan, tadA sa tebhya ekAM dRSTAntakathAM kathayAmAsa| ekaH kRSIbalo bIjAni vaptuM bahirjagAma,
And when a great multitude had assembled, and from all the cities had come to him, he discoursed in parables.
5 tato vapanakAle katipayAni bIjAni mArgapArzve petuH, tatastAni padatalai rdalitAni pakSibhi rbhakSitAni ca|
A sower went forth to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the road-side; and it was trodden down, and the fowl devoured it.
6 katipayAni bIjAni pASANasthale patitAni yadyapi tAnyaGkuritAni tathApi rasAbhAvAt zuzuSuH|
And other fell upon the rock; and it immediately sprang up, and, because it had no moisture, it withered.
7 katipayAni bIjAni kaNTakivanamadhye patitAni tataH kaNTakivanAni saMvRddhya tAni jagrasuH|
And other fell among thorns, and they sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 tadanyAni katipayabIjAni ca bhUmyAmuttamAyAM petustatastAnyaGkurayitvA zataguNAni phalAni pheluH| sa imA kathAM kathayitvA proccaiH provAca, yasya zrotuM zrotre staH sa zRNotu|
And other fell into ground good and fair, and sprang up, and made fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these (words), he cried, Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 tataH paraM ziSyAstaM papracchurasya dRSTAntasya kiM tAtparyyaM?
And his disciples asked him, What is (the signification of) this parable?
10 tataH sa vyAjahAra, IzvarIyarAjyasya guhyAni jJAtuM yuSmabhyamadhikAro dIyate kintvanye yathA dRSTvApi na pazyanti zrutvApi ma budhyante ca tadarthaM teSAM purastAt tAH sarvvAH kathA dRSTAntena kathyante|
But he said to them, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Aloha; but to those who are the rest in similitudes is it spoken; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 dRSTAntasyAsyAbhiprAyaH, IzvarIyakathA bIjasvarUpA|
But this is the parable: The seed is the word of Aloha.
12 ye kathAmAtraM zRNvanti kintu pazcAd vizvasya yathA paritrANaM na prApnuvanti tadAzayena zaitAnetya hRdayAtR tAM kathAm apaharati ta eva mArgapArzvasthabhUmisvarUpAH|
Now they by the road-side are they who hear the word; and the adversary cometh, and taketh up the word from their hearts, that they should not believe and be saved.
13 ye kathaM zrutvA sAnandaM gRhlanti kintvabaddhamUlatvAt svalpakAlamAtraM pratItya parIkSAkAle bhrazyanti taeva pASANabhUmisvarUpAH|
But those who fell upon the rock are those who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; yet root they have not, but for a time is their faith, and in the time of temptation they are offended.
14 ye kathAM zrutvA yAnti viSayacintAyAM dhanalobhena ehikasukhe ca majjanta upayuktaphalAni na phalanti ta evoptabIjakaNTakibhUsvarUpAH|
But that which fell among thorns are they who hear the word, and by the cares, and by the riches, and by the lusts of the world, they are choked, and fruit they give not.
15 kintu ye zrutvA saralaiH zuddhaizcAntaHkaraNaiH kathAM gRhlanti dhairyyam avalambya phalAnyutpAdayanti ca ta evottamamRtsvarUpAH|
But that which (was) in good ground are they who, with hearts humble and good, hear the word and retain, and give fruits with perseverance.
16 aparaJca pradIpaM prajvAlya kopi pAtreNa nAcchAdayati tathA khaTvAdhopi na sthApayati, kintu dIpAdhAroparyyeva sthApayati, tasmAt pravezakA dIptiM pazyanti|
NO man lighteth a lamp, and covereth it with a measure, or setteth it under a bed; but setteth it upon a candlestick, that every one who cometh in may see the light of it.
17 yanna prakAzayiSyate tAdRg aprakAzitaM vastu kimapi nAsti yacca na suvyaktaM pracArayiSyate tAdRg gRptaM vastu kimapi nAsti|
For there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed, and nothing secret that shall not be known and come into openness.
18 ato yUyaM kena prakAreNa zRNutha tatra sAvadhAnA bhavata, yasya samIpe barddhate tasmai punardAsyate kintu yasyAzraye na barddhate tasya yadyadasti tadapi tasmAt neSyate|
Take heed how you hear: for unto him who hath, it shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he thinketh that he hath shall be taken from him.
19 aparaJca yIzo rmAtA bhrAtarazca tasya samIpaM jigamiSavaH
Now came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not speak with him on account of the assembly.
20 kintu janatAsambAdhAt tatsannidhiM prAptuM na zekuH| tatpazcAt tava mAtA bhrAtarazca tvAM sAkSAt cikIrSanto bahistiSThanatIti vArttAyAM tasmai kathitAyAM
And they said to him, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desiring to see thee.
21 sa pratyuvAca; ye janA Izvarasya kathAM zrutvA tadanurUpamAcaranti taeva mama mAtA bhrAtarazca|
But he answered and said to them, These are my mother and my brethren, they who hear the word of Aloha, and do it.
22 anantaraM ekadA yIzuH ziSyaiH sArddhaM nAvamAruhya jagAda, AyAta vayaM hradasya pAraM yAmaH, tataste jagmuH|
NOW it was on one of the days that Jeshu ascended and sat in a vessel and his disciples: and he said to them, Let us pass to the other side of the water.
23 teSu naukAM vAhayatsu sa nidadrau;
But as they went, Jeshu himself slept. And there became a storm of wind on the water, and nigh was the vessel to be swallowed up.
24 athAkasmAt prabalajhaJbhzagamAd hrade naukAyAM taraGgairAcchannAyAM vipat tAn jagrAsa|tasmAd yIzorantikaM gatvA he guro he guro prANA no yAntIti gaditvA taM jAgarayAmbabhUvuH|tadA sa utthAya vAyuM taraGgAMzca tarjayAmAsa tasmAdubhau nivRtya sthirau babhUvatuH|
And they approached (and) awoke him, saying to him, Our master, our master, we perish! But he arose and rebuked the winds and the waves of the sea; and they quieted, and there was a calm.
25 sa tAn babhASe yuSmAkaM vizvAsaH ka? tasmAtte bhItA vismitAzca parasparaM jagaduH, aho kIdRgayaM manujaH pavanaM pAnIyaJcAdizati tadubhayaM tadAdezaM vahati|
And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they, afraid, wondered, saying one with another, Who is this that also commandeth the winds, and to whom the waves and the sea are obedient?
26 tataH paraM gAlIlpradezasya sammukhasthagiderIyapradeze naukAyAM lagantyAM taTe'varohamAvAd
And they went forward and came to the country of the Godroyee, which is over against Galila.
27 bahutithakAlaM bhUtagrasta eko mAnuSaH purAdAgatya taM sAkSAccakAra| sa manuSo vAso na paridadhat gRhe ca na vasan kevalaM zmazAnam adhyuvAsa|
And when he had gone forth to the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had a devil in him a great time, and (who) wore no clothes, and in a house dwelt not, but in the place of the buried.
28 sa yIzuM dRSTvaiva cIcchabdaM cakAra tasya sammukhe patitvA proccairjagAda ca, he sarvvapradhAnezvarasya putra, mayA saha tava kaH sambandhaH? tvayi vinayaM karomi mAM mA yAtaya|
But when he saw Jeshu, he cried out, and fell before him, and said in a high voice, What to us and to thee, Jeshu, son of Aloha Marima? I beseech of thee, torment me not.
29 yataH sa taM mAnuSaM tyaktvA yAtum amedhyabhUtam Adideza; sa bhUtastaM mAnuSam asakRd dadhAra tasmAllokAH zRGkhalena nigaDena ca babandhuH; sa tad bhaMktvA bhUtavazatvAt madhyeprAntaraM yayau|
For Jeshu commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man. For long was the time that he had been enthralled of him; and (when) bound with chains, and kept with fetters, he had burst asunder his bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the waste.
30 anantaraM yIzustaM papraccha tava kinnAma? sa uvAca, mama nAma bAhino yato bahavo bhUtAstamAzizriyuH|
And Jeshu demanded of him, What is thy name? He saith to him, Legion: because that many devils had entered into him.
And they besought from him that he would not cast them out to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 tadA parvvatopari varAhavrajazcarati tasmAd bhUtA vinayena procuH, amuM varAhavrajam Azrayitum asmAn anujAnIhi; tataH sonujajJau|
Now there was there a great herd of many swine which fed on the hill: and they besought from him that he would permit them to enter into the swine. And he permitted them.
33 tataH paraM bhUtAstaM mAnuSaM vihAya varAhavrajam AzizriyuH varAhavrajAzca tatkSaNAt kaTakena dhAvanto hrade prANAn vijRhuH|
And the demons went forth from the man, and entered into the swine; and the whole herd went directly to the precipice, and plunged into the waters, and were suffocated.
34 tad dRSTvA zUkararakSakAH palAyamAnA nagaraM grAmaJca gatvA tatsarvvavRttAntaM kathayAmAsuH|
And when the herdmen saw the thing that was done, they fled, and made known in the city and in the villages.
35 tataH kiM vRttam etaddarzanArthaM lokA nirgatya yIzoH samIpaM yayuH, taM mAnuSaM tyaktabhUtaM parihitavastraM svasthamAnuSavad yIzozcaraNasannidhau sUpavizantaM vilokya bibhyuH|
And the men went forth to see the thing which was done. And they came to Jeshu, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, clothed, sober, and sitting at the feet of Jeshu. And they feared.
36 ye lokAstasya bhUtagrastasya svAsthyakaraNaM dadRzuste tebhyaH sarvvavRttAntaM kathayAmAsuH|
And they who had seen it showed to them how the man of the demon had been healed.
37 tadanantaraM tasya giderIyapradezasya caturdiksthA bahavo janA atitrastA vinayena taM jagaduH, bhavAn asmAkaM nikaTAd vrajatu tasmAt sa nAvamAruhya tato vyAghuTya jagAma|
And the whole multitude of the Godroyee besought of Jeshu that he would go from them, because great fear had taken them. And he, Jeshu, ascended the ship, and returned from them.
38 tadAnIM tyaktabhUtamanujastena saha sthAtuM prArthayAJcakre
But he, the man from whom had gone forth the demons, besought of him that he might be with him. But Jeshu dismissed him, and said to him,
39 kintu tadartham IzvaraH kIdRGmahAkarmma kRtavAn iti nivezanaM gatvA vijJApaya, yIzuH kathAmetAM kathayitvA taM visasarja| tataH sa vrajitvA yIzustadarthaM yanmahAkarmma cakAra tat purasya sarvvatra prakAzayituM prArebhe|
Return to thine house, and show what Aloha hath done for thee. And he went and proclaimed in every city what Jeshu had done for him.
40 atha yIzau parAvRtyAgate lokAstaM AdareNa jagRhu ryasmAtte sarvve tamapekSAJcakrire|
WHEN Jeshu returned, a great multitude received him: for they were all expecting him.
41 tadanantaraM yAyIrnAmno bhajanagehasyaikodhipa Agatya yIzozcaraNayoH patitvA svanivezanAgamanArthaM tasmin vinayaM cakAra,
And a certain man whose name was Jorush, head of the synagogue, fell before the feet of Jeshu, and besought him to enter into his house;
42 yatastasya dvAdazavarSavayaskA kanyaikAsIt sA mRtakalpAbhavat| tatastasya gamanakAle mArge lokAnAM mahAn samAgamo babhUva|
for he had an only daughter, as a daughter of twelve years, and she was nigh unto death. And as Jeshu went with him, the great multitude pressed him.
43 dvAdazavarSANi pradararogagrastA nAnA vaidyaizcikitsitA sarvvasvaM vyayitvApi svAsthyaM na prAptA yA yoSit sA yIzoH pazcAdAgatya tasya vastragranthiM pasparza|
And a certain woman whose blood had gushed forth twelve years, she who among the physicians had spent all her substance, but could not be healed by any one,
44 tasmAt tatkSaNAt tasyA raktasrAvo ruddhaH|
approached him from behind, and touched the border of his garment, and immediately stood the flowing of her blood.
45 tadAnIM yIzuravadat kenAhaM spRSTaH? tato'nekairanaGgIkRte pitarastasya saGginazcAvadan, he guro lokA nikaTasthAH santastava dehe gharSayanti, tathApi kenAhaM spRSTaiti bhavAn kutaH pRcchati?
And Jeshu said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Shemun Kipha and those with him said, Raban, the crowd straiteneth and presseth thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 yIzuH kathayAmAsa, kenApyahaM spRSTo, yato mattaH zakti rnirgateti mayA nizcitamajJAyi|
But he said, Some one hath touched me, for I know that power hath gone forth from me.
47 tadA sA nArI svayaM na gupteti viditvA kampamAnA satI tasya sammukhe papAta; yena nimittena taM pasparza sparzamAtrAcca yena prakAreNa svasthAbhavat tat sarvvaM tasya sAkSAdAcakhyau|
And she, the woman, when she saw that she was not hid, came trembling and fell (and) worshipped him. And she told before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how at once she had been healed.
48 tataH sa tAM jagAda he kanye susthirA bhava, tava vizvAsastvAM svasthAm akArSIt tvaM kSemeNa yAhi|
But he, Jeshu, said to her, Be comforted, my daughter: thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace.
49 yIzoretadvAkyavadanakAle tasyAdhipate rnivezanAt kazcilloka Agatya taM babhASe, tava kanyA mRtA guruM mA klizAna|
And while he was speaking, there came a man from the chief of the synagogue and said to him, Thy daughter is dead, weary not the Malphona.
50 kintu yIzustadAkarNyAdhipatiM vyAjahAra, mA bhaiSIH kevalaM vizvasihi tasmAt sA jIviSyati|
But Jeshu heard, and said to the father of the damsel, Fear not, only believe, and she lives!
51 atha tasya nivezane prApte sa pitaraM yohanaM yAkUbaJca kanyAyA mAtaraM pitaraJca vinA, anyaM kaJcana praveSTuM vArayAmAsa|
But Jeshu came to the house, and he suffered no man to enter with him, save Shemun, and Jakub, and Juchanon, and the father of the damsel, and her mother.
52 aparaJca ye rudanti vilapanti ca tAn sarvvAn janAn uvAca, yUyaM mA rodiSTa kanyA na mRtA nidrAti|
And they were all weeping and wailing for her; but Jeshu said, Weep not, for she is not dead, but asleep.
53 kintu sA nizcitaM mRteti jJAtvA te tamupajahasuH|
And they laughed at him, for they knew that she was dead.
54 pazcAt sa sarvvAn bahiH kRtvA kanyAyAH karau dhRtvAjuhuve, he kanye tvamuttiSTha,
But he put every man forth without. And he took her by the hand, and called and said, Damsel, arise.
55 tasmAt tasyAH prANeSu punarAgateSu sA tatkSaNAd uttasyau| tadAnIM tasyai kiJcid bhakSyaM dAtum Adideza|
And her spirit returned, and she arose. And he directed that they should give her to eat.
56 tatastasyAH pitarau vismayaM gatau kintu sa tAvAdideza ghaTanAyA etasyAH kathAM kasmaicidapi mA kathayataM|
And her parents were astonished; but he cautioned them that no man they should tell what he had done.
