When Yeshua had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 tadA tatpazcAt jananivahe gate sa tatra tAn nirAmayAn akarot|
Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 tadanantaraM phirUzinastatsamIpamAgatya pArIkSituM taM papracchuH, kasmAdapi kAraNAt nareNa svajAyA parityAjyA na vA?
Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4 sa pratyuvAca, prathamam Izvaro naratvena nArItvena ca manujAn sasarja, tasmAt kathitavAn,
He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5 mAnuSaH svapitarau parityajya svapatnyAm AsakSyate, tau dvau janAvekAGgau bhaviSyataH, kimetad yuSmAbhi rna paThitam?
and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?
6 atastau puna rna dvau tayorekAGgatvaM jAtaM, IzvareNa yacca samayujyata, manujo na tad bhindyAt|
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”
7 tadAnIM te taM pratyavadan, tathAtve tyAjyapatraM dattvA svAM svAM jAyAM tyaktuM vyavasthAM mUsAH kathaM lilekha?
They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?”
8 tataH sa kathitavAn, yuSmAkaM manasAM kAThinyAd yuSmAn svAM svAM jAyAM tyaktum anvamanyata kintu prathamAd eSo vidhirnAsIt|
He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 ato yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, vyabhicAraM vinA yo nijajAyAM tyajet anyAJca vivahet, sa paradArAn gacchati; yazca tyaktAM nArIM vivahati sopi paradAreSu ramate|
I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”
10 tadA tasya ziSyAstaM babhASire, yadi svajAyayA sAkaM puMsa etAdRk sambandho jAyate, tarhi vivahanameva na bhadraM|
His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”
11 tataH sa uktavAn, yebhyastatsAmarthyaM AdAyi, tAn vinAnyaH kopi manuja etanmataM grahItuM na zaknoti|
But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
12 katipayA jananaklIbaH katipayA narakRtaklIbaH svargarAjyAya katipayAH svakRtaklIbAzca santi, ye grahItuM zaknuvanti te gRhlantu|
For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 aparam yathA sa zizUnAM gAtreSu hastaM datvA prArthayate, tadarthaM tatsamIMpaM zizava AnIyanta, tata AnayitRn ziSyAstiraskRtavantaH|
Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 kintu yIzuruvAca, zizavo madantikam Agacchantu, tAn mA vArayata, etAdRzAM zizUnAmeva svargarAjyaM|
But Yeshua said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15 tataH sa teSAM gAtreSu hastaM datvA tasmAt sthAnAt pratasthe|
He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
16 aparam eka Agatya taM papraccha, he paramaguro, anantAyuH prAptuM mayA kiM kiM satkarmma karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
Behold, one came to him and said, “Good Rabbi, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 tataH sa uvAca, mAM paramaM kuto vadasi? vinezcaraM na kopi paramaH, kintu yadyanantAyuH prAptuM vAJchasi, tarhyAjJAH pAlaya|
He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 tadA sa pRSTavAn, kAH kA AjJAH? tato yIzuH kathitavAn, naraM mA hanyAH, paradArAn mA gaccheH, mA corayeH, mRSAsAkSyaM mA dadyAH,
He said to him, “Which ones?” Yeshua said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’
19 nijapitarau saMmanyasva, svasamIpavAsini svavat prema kuru|
‘Honor your father and your mother.’ And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 sa yuvA kathitavAn, A bAlyAd etAH pAlayAmi, idAnIM kiM nyUnamAste?
The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 tato yIzuravadat, yadi siddho bhavituM vAJchasi, tarhi gatvA nijasarvvasvaM vikrIya daridrebhyo vitara, tataH svarge vittaM lapsyase; Agaccha, matpazcAdvarttI ca bhava|
Yeshua said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 etAM vAcaM zrutvA sa yuvA svIyabahusampatte rviSaNaH san calitavAn|
But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.
23 tadA yIzuH svaziSyAn avadat, dhaninAM svargarAjyapravezo mahAduSkara iti yuSmAnahaM tathyaM vadAmi|
Yeshua said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
24 punarapi yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, dhaninAM svargarAjyapravezAt sUcIchidreNa mahAGgagamanaM sukaraM|
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
25 iti vAkyaM nizamya ziSyA aticamatkRtya kathayAmAsuH; tarhi kasya paritrANaM bhavituM zaknoti?
When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 tadA sa tAn dRSdvA kathayAmAsa, tat mAnuSANAmazakyaM bhavati, kintvIzvarasya sarvvaM zakyam|
Looking at them, Yeshua said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 tadA pitarastaM gaditavAn, pazya, vayaM sarvvaM parityajya bhavataH pazcAdvarttino 'bhavAma; vayaM kiM prApsyAmaH?
Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 tato yIzuH kathitavAn, yuSmAnahaM tathyaM vadAmi, yUyaM mama pazcAdvarttino jAtA iti kAraNAt navInasRSTikAle yadA manujasutaH svIyaizcaryyasiMhAsana upavekSyati, tadA yUyamapi dvAdazasiMhAsaneSUpavizya isrAyelIyadvAdazavaMzAnAM vicAraM kariSyatha|
Yeshua said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 anyacca yaH kazcit mama nAmakAraNAt gRhaM vA bhrAtaraM vA bhaginIM vA pitaraM vA mAtaraM vA jAyAM vA bAlakaM vA bhUmiM parityajati, sa teSAM zataguNaM lapsyate, anantAyumo'dhikAritvaJca prApsyati| (aiōnios g166)
Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 kintu agrIyA aneke janAH pazcAt, pazcAtIyAzcAneke lokA agre bhaviSyanti|
But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.
