yohanaḥ 7
1 tataḥ paraṁ yihūdīyalokāstaṁ hantuṁ samaihanta tasmād yīśu ryihūdāpradeśe paryyaṭituṁ necchan gālīl pradeśe paryyaṭituṁ prārabhata|
After this, Jesus went about in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the religious authorities (in Jerusalem) were eager to put him to death.
2 kintu tasmin samaye yihūdīyānāṁ dūṣyavāsanāmotsava upasthite
When the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3 tasya bhrātarastam avadan yāni karmmāṇi tvayā kriyante tāni yathā tava śiṣyāḥ paśyanti tadarthaṁ tvamitaḥ sthānād yihūdīyadeśaṁ vraja|
his brothers said to him, “Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.
4 yaḥ kaścit svayaṁ pracikāśiṣati sa kadāpi guptaṁ karmma na karoti yadīdṛśaṁ karmma karoṣi tarhi jagati nijaṁ paricāyaya|
For no one does a thing privately, if they are seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world.”
5 yatastasya bhrātaropi taṁ na viśvasanti|
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 tadā yīśustān avocat mama samaya idānīṁ nopatiṣṭhati kintu yuṣmākaṁ samayaḥ satatam upatiṣṭhati|
“My time,” answered Jesus, “is not come yet, but your time is always here.
7 jagato lokā yuṣmān ṛtīyituṁ na śakruvanti kintu māmeva ṛtīyante yatasteṣāṁ karmāṇi duṣṭāni tatra sākṣyamidam ahaṁ dadāmi|
The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.
8 ataeva yūyam utsave'smin yāta nāham idānīm asminnutsave yāmi yato mama samaya idānīṁ na sampūrṇaḥ|
Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come.”
9 iti vākyam ukttvā sa gālīli sthitavān
After telling them this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10 kintu tasya bhrātṛṣu tatra prasthiteṣu satsu so'prakaṭa utsavam agacchat|
But, when his brothers had gone up to the Festival, Jesus also went up – not publicly, but privately.
11 anantaram utsavam upasthitā yihūdīyāstaṁ mṛgayitvāpṛcchan sa kutra?
The authorities were looking for him at the Festival and asking ‘Where is he?’;
12 tato lokānāṁ madhye tasmin nānāvidhā vivādā bhavitum ārabdhavantaḥ| kecid avocan sa uttamaḥ puruṣaḥ kecid avocan na tathā varaṁ lokānāṁ bhramaṁ janayati|
and there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying ‘He is a good man;’ others, ‘No! He is leading the people astray.’
13 kintu yihūdīyānāṁ bhayāt kopi tasya pakṣe spaṣṭaṁ nākathayat|
No one, however, spoke freely about him, because they were afraid of the authorities.
14 tataḥ param utsavasya madhyasamaye yīśu rmandiraṁ gatvā samupadiśati sma|
About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.
15 tato yihūdīyā lokā āścaryyaṁ jñātvākathayan eṣā mānuṣo nādhītyā katham etādṛśo vidvānabhūt?
The authorities were astonished. “How has this man got his learning,” they asked, “when he has never studied?”
16 tadā yīśuḥ pratyavocad upadeśoyaṁ na mama kintu yo māṁ preṣitavān tasya|
So, in reply, Jesus said, “My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.
17 yo jano nideśaṁ tasya grahīṣyati mamopadeśo matto bhavati kim īśvarād bhavati sa ganastajjñātuṁ śakṣyati|
If anyone has the will to do God’s will, they will find out whether my teaching is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.
18 yo janaḥ svataḥ kathayati sa svīyaṁ gauravam īhate kintu yaḥ prerayitu rgauravam īhate sa satyavādī tasmin kopyadharmmo nāsti|
The person who speaks on their own authority seeks honor for themselves; but the one who seeks the honor of him who sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.
19 mūsā yuṣmabhyaṁ vyavasthāgranthaṁ kiṁ nādadāt? kintu yuṣmākaṁ kopi tāṁ vyavasthāṁ na samācarati| māṁ hantuṁ kuto yatadhve?
Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?”
20 tadā lokā avadan tvaṁ bhūtagrastastvāṁ hantuṁ ko yatate?
“You must be possessed by a demon!” the people exclaimed. “Who is seeking to put you to death?”
21 tato yīśuravocad ekaṁ karmma mayākāri tasmād yūyaṁ sarvva mahāścaryyaṁ manyadhve|
“There was one thing I did,” replied Jesus, “at which you are all still wondering.
22 mūsā yuṣmabhyaṁ tvakchedavidhiṁ pradadau sa mūsāto na jātaḥ kintu pitṛpuruṣebhyo jātaḥ tena viśrāmavāre'pi mānuṣāṇāṁ tvakchedaṁ kurutha|
But that is why Moses has instituted circumcision among you – not, indeed, that it began with him, but with our ancestors – and that is why you circumcise even on a Sabbath.
23 ataeva viśrāmavāre manuṣyāṇāṁ tvakchede kṛte yadi mūsāvyavasthāmaṅganaṁ na bhavati tarhi mayā viśrāmavāre mānuṣaḥ sampūrṇarūpeṇa svastho'kāri tatkāraṇād yūyaṁ kiṁ mahyaṁ kupyatha?
When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?
24 sapakṣapātaṁ vicāramakṛtvā nyāyyaṁ vicāraṁ kuruta|
Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.”
25 tadā yirūśālam nivāsinaḥ katipayajanā akathayan ime yaṁ hantuṁ ceṣṭante sa evāyaṁ kiṁ na?
At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed, “Is not this the man who they are seeking to put to death?
26 kintu paśyata nirbhayaḥ san kathāṁ kathayati tathāpi kimapi a vadantyete ayamevābhiṣiktto bhavatīti niścitaṁ kimadhipatayo jānanti?
Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?
27 manujoyaṁ kasmādāgamad iti vayaṁ jānomaḥ kintvabhiṣiktta āgate sa kasmādāgatavān iti kopi jñātuṁ na śakṣyati|
Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from.”
28 tadā yīśu rmadhyemandiram upadiśan uccaiḥkāram ukttavān yūyaṁ kiṁ māṁ jānītha? kasmāccāgatosmi tadapi kiṁ jānītha? nāhaṁ svata āgatosmi kintu yaḥ satyavādī saeva māṁ preṣitavān yūyaṁ taṁ na jānītha|
Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said, “Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.
29 tamahaṁ jāne tenāhaṁ prerita agatosmi|
I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his messenger.”
30 tasmād yihūdīyāstaṁ dharttum udyatāstathāpi kopi tasya gātre hastaṁ nārpayad yato hetostadā tasya samayo nopatiṣṭhati|
So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.
31 kintu bahavo lokāstasmin viśvasya kathitavānto'bhiṣikttapuruṣa āgatya mānuṣasyāsya kriyābhyaḥ kim adhikā āścaryyāḥ kriyāḥ kariṣyati?
Many of the people, however, believed in him. “When the Christ comes,” they said, “will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?”
32 tataḥ paraṁ lokāstasmin itthaṁ vivadante phirūśinaḥ pradhānayājakāñceti śrutavantastaṁ dhṛtvā netuṁ padātigaṇaṁ preṣayāmāsuḥ|
The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;
33 tato yīśuravadad aham alpadināni yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ sthitvā matprerayituḥ samīpaṁ yāsyāmi|
at which Jesus said, “I will be with you but a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
34 māṁ mṛgayiṣyadhve kintūddeśaṁ na lapsyadhve ratra sthāsyāmi tatra yūyaṁ gantuṁ na śakṣyatha|
You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be.”
35 tadā yihūdīyāḥ parasparaṁ vakttumārebhire asyoddeśaṁ na prāpsyāma etādṛśaṁ kiṁ sthānaṁ yāsyati? bhinnadeśe vikīrṇānāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ sannidhim eṣa gatvā tān upadekṣyati kiṁ?
“Where is this man going,” the people asked one another, “that we would not find him? Will he go to our countrymen abroad, and teach foreigners?
36 no cet māṁ gaveṣayiṣyatha kintūddeśaṁ na prāpsyatha eṣa kodṛśaṁ vākyamidaṁ vadati?
What does he mean by saying ‘You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be’?”
37 anantaram utsavasya carame'hani arthāt pradhānadine yīśuruttiṣṭhan uccaiḥkāram āhvayan uditavān yadi kaścit tṛṣārtto bhavati tarhi mamāntikam āgatya pivatu|
On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed, “If anyone is thirsty, they should come to me and drink.
38 yaḥ kaścinmayi viśvasiti dharmmagranthasya vacanānusāreṇa tasyābhyantarato'mṛtatoyasya srotāṁsi nirgamiṣyanti|
From the heart of those who believe in me will flow, as is said in scripture, rivers of living water.”
39 ye tasmin viśvasanti ta ātmānaṁ prāpsyantītyarthe sa idaṁ vākyaṁ vyāhṛtavān etatkālaṁ yāvad yīśu rvibhavaṁ na prāptastasmāt pavitra ātmā nādīyata|
(By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)
40 etāṁ vāṇīṁ śrutvā bahavo lokā avadan ayameva niścitaṁ sa bhaviṣyadvādī|
Some of the people, when they heard these words, said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”;
41 kecid akathayan eṣaeva sobhiṣikttaḥ kintu kecid avadan sobhiṣikttaḥ kiṁ gālīl pradeśe janiṣyate?
others said, “the Christ!”; but some asked, “What! Does the Christ come from Galilee?
42 sobhiṣiktto dāyūdo vaṁśe dāyūdo janmasthāne baitlehami pattane janiṣyate dharmmagranthe kimitthaṁ likhitaṁ nāsti?
Is not it said in scripture that it is of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?”
43 itthaṁ tasmin lokānāṁ bhinnavākyatā jātā|
So there was a sharp division among the people because of Jesus.
44 katipayalokāstaṁ dharttum aicchan tathāpi tadvapuṣi kopi hastaṁ nārpayat|
Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.
45 anantaraṁ pādātigaṇe pradhānayājakānāṁ phirūśināñca samīpamāgatavati te tān apṛcchan kuto hetostaṁ nānayata?
When the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, they were asked, “Why have you not brought him?”
46 tadā padātayaḥ pratyavadan sa mānava iva kopi kadāpi nopādiśat|
“No one ever spoke as he speaks!” they answered.
47 tataḥ phirūśinaḥ prāvocan yūyamapi kimabhrāmiṣṭa?
“What! Have you been led astray too?” the Pharisees replied.
48 adhipatīnāṁ phirūśināñca kopi kiṁ tasmin vyaśvasīt?
“Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
49 ye śāstraṁ na jānanti ta ime'dhamalokāeva śāpagrastāḥ|
As for these people who do not know the Law – they are cursed!”
50 tadā nikadīmanāmā teṣāmeko yaḥ kṣaṇadāyāṁ yīśoḥ sannidhim agāt sa ukttavān
But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them,
51 tasya vākye na śrute karmmaṇi ca na vidite 'smākaṁ vyavasthā kiṁ kañcana manujaṁ doṣīkaroti?
“Does our Law pass judgment on a person without first giving them a hearing, and finding out what they have been doing?”
52 tataste vyāharan tvamapi kiṁ gālīlīyalokaḥ? vivicya paśya galīli kopi bhaviṣyadvādī notpadyate|
“Are you also from Galilee?” they retorted. “Search, and you will find that no prophet is to arise in Galilee!”
53 tataḥ paraṁ sarvve svaṁ svaṁ gṛhaṁ gatāḥ kintu yīśu rjaitunanāmānaṁ śiloccayaṁ gatavān|
And everyone went home
