mathiḥ 11
1 itthaṁ yīśuḥ svadvādaśaśiṣyāṇāmājñāpanaṁ samāpya pure pura upadeṣṭuṁ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ tatsthānāt pratasthe|
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 anantaraṁ yohan kārāyāṁ tiṣṭhan khriṣṭasya karmmaṇāṁ vārttaṁ prāpya yasyāgamanavārttāsīt saeva kiṁ tvaṁ? vā vayamanyam apekṣiṣyāmahe?
But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
3 etat praṣṭuṁ nijau dvau śiṣyau prāhiṇot|
and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
4 yīśuḥ pratyavocat, andhā netrāṇi labhante, khañcā gacchanti, kuṣṭhinaḥ svasthā bhavanti, badhirāḥ śṛṇvanti, mṛtā jīvanta uttiṣṭhanti, daridrāṇāṁ samīpe susaṁvādaḥ pracāryyata,
And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
5 etāni yadyad yuvāṁ śṛṇuthaḥ paśyathaśca gatvā tadvārttāṁ yohanaṁ gadataṁ|
Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:
6 yasyāhaṁ na vighnībhavāmi, saeva dhanyaḥ|
and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 anantaraṁ tayoḥ prasthitayo ryīśu ryohanam uddiśya janān jagāda, yūyaṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ vahirmadhyeprāntaram agacchata? kiṁ vātena kampitaṁ nalaṁ?
But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?
8 vā kiṁ vīkṣituṁ vahirgatavantaḥ? kiṁ parihitasūkṣmavasanaṁ manujamekaṁ? paśyata, ye sūkṣmavasanāni paridadhati, te rājadhānyāṁ tiṣṭhanti|
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.
9 tarhi yūyaṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ bahiragamata, kimekaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaṁ? tadeva satyaṁ| yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, sa bhaviṣyadvādinopi mahān;
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:
10 yataḥ, paśya svakīyadūtoyaṁ tvadagre preṣyate mayā| sa gatvā tava panthānaṁ smayak pariṣkariṣyati|| etadvacanaṁ yamadhi likhitamāste so'yaṁ yohan|
this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 aparaṁ yuṣmānahaṁ tathyaṁ bravīmi, majjayitu ryohanaḥ śreṣṭhaḥ kopi nārīto nājāyata; tathāpi svargarājyamadhye sarvvebhyo yaḥ kṣudraḥ sa yohanaḥ śreṣṭhaḥ|
Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 aparañca ā yohano'dya yāvat svargarājyaṁ balādākrāntaṁ bhavati ākraminaśca janā balena tadadhikurvvanti|
But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent seize on it.
13 yato yohanaṁ yāvat sarvvabhaviṣyadvādibhi rvyavasthayā ca upadeśaḥ prākāśyata|
For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.
14 yadi yūyamidaṁ vākyaṁ grahītuṁ śaknutha, tarhi śreyaḥ, yasyāgamanasya vacanamāste so'yam eliyaḥ|
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
15 yasya śrotuṁ karṇau staḥ sa śṛṇotu|
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 ete vidyamānajanāḥ kai rmayopamīyante? ye bālakā haṭṭa upaviśya svaṁ svaṁ bandhumāhūya vadanti,
But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, calling to their companions,
17 vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpe vaṁśīravādayāma, kintu yūyaṁ nānṛtyata; yuṣmākaṁ samīpe ca vayamarodima, kintu yūyaṁ na vyalapata, tādṛśai rbālakaista upamāyiṣyante|
say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
18 yato yohan āgatya na bhuktavān na pītavāṁśca, tena lokā vadanti, sa bhūtagrasta iti|
For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
19 manujasuta āgatya bhuktavān pītavāṁśca, tena lokā vadanti, paśyata eṣa bhoktā madyapātā caṇḍālapāpināṁ bandhaśca, kintu jñānino jñānavyavahāraṁ nirdoṣaṁ jānanti|
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man [that is] eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: — and wisdom has been justified by her children.
20 sa yatra yatra pure bahvāścaryyaṁ karmma kṛtavān, tannivāsināṁ manaḥparāvṛttyabhāvāt tāni nagarāṇi prati hantetyuktā kathitavān,
Then began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
21 hā korāsīn, hā baitsaide, yuṣmanmadhye yadyadāścaryyaṁ karmma kṛtaṁ yadi tat sorasīdonnagara akāriṣyata, tarhi pūrvvameva tannivāsinaḥ śāṇavasane bhasmani copaviśanto manāṁsi parāvarttiṣyanta|
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented in sackcloth and ashes.
22 tasmādahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, vicāradine yuṣmākaṁ daśātaḥ sorasīdono rdaśā sahyatarā bhaviṣyati|
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
23 aparañca bata kapharnāhūm, tvaṁ svargaṁ yāvadunnatosi, kintu narake nikṣepsyase, yasmāt tvayi yānyāścaryyāṇi karmmaṇyakāriṣata, yadi tāni sidomnagara akāriṣyanta, tarhi tadadya yāvadasthāsyat| (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 kintvahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, vicāradine tava daṇḍataḥ sidomo daṇḍo sahyataro bhaviṣyati|
But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
25 etasminneva samaye yīśuḥ punaruvāca, he svargapṛthivyorekādhipate pitastvaṁ jñānavato viduṣaśca lokān pratyetāni na prakāśya bālakān prati prakāśitavān, iti hetostvāṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
26 he pitaḥ, itthaṁ bhavet yata idaṁ tvadṛṣṭāvuttamaṁ|
Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
27 pitrā mayi sarvvāṇi samarpitāni, pitaraṁ vinā kopi putraṁ na jānāti, yān prati putreṇa pitā prakāśyate tān vinā putrād anyaḥ kopi pitaraṁ na jānāti|
All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased to reveal [him].
28 he pariśrāntā bhārākrāntāśca lokā yūyaṁ matsannidhim āgacchata, ahaṁ yuṣmān viśramayiṣyāmi|
Come to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 ahaṁ kṣamaṇaśīlo namramanāśca, tasmāt mama yugaṁ sveṣāmupari dhārayata mattaḥ śikṣadhvañca, tena yūyaṁ sve sve manasi viśrāmaṁ lapsyadhbe|
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls;
30 yato mama yugam anāyāsaṁ mama bhāraśca laghuḥ|
for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
