mathiḥ 20
1 svargarājyam etādṛśā kenacid gṛhasyena samaṁ, yo'tiprabhāte nijadrākṣākṣetre kṛṣakān niyoktuṁ gatavān|
For the Administration of Heaven will resemble the conduct of a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 paścāt taiḥ sākaṁ dinaikabhṛtiṁ mudrācaturthāṁśaṁ nirūpya tān drākṣākṣetraṁ prerayāmāsa|
Having agreed with some for a denarius a-day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 anantaraṁ praharaikavelāyāṁ gatvā haṭṭe katipayān niṣkarmmakān vilokya tānavadat,
About the third hour he went out, and seeing others unemployed in the market place,
4 yūyamapi mama drākṣākṣetraṁ yāta, yuṣmabhyamahaṁ yogyabhṛtiṁ dāsyāmi, tataste vavrajuḥ|
said to them, Go you likewise into my vineyard, and I will give you what is reasonable. Accordingly they went.
5 punaśca sa dvitīyatṛtīyayoḥ praharayo rbahi rgatvā tathaiva kṛtavān|
Again, about the sixth hour, and about the ninth, he went out and did the same.
6 tato daṇḍadvayāvaśiṣṭāyāṁ velāyāṁ bahi rgatvāparān katipayajanān niṣkarmmakān vilokya pṛṣṭavān, yūyaṁ kimartham atra sarvvaṁ dinaṁ niṣkarmmāṇastiṣṭhatha?
Lastly, about the eleventh hour, he went out, and finding others standing, said to them, Why do you stand here all the day doing nothing?
7 te pratyavadan, asmān na kopi karmamaṇi niyuṁkte| tadānīṁ sa kathitavān, yūyamapi mama drākṣākṣetraṁ yāta, tena yogyāṁ bhṛtiṁ lapsyatha|
They answered, Because no person has hired us. He said to them, Go you also into my vineyard, and you shall receive what is reasonable.
8 tadanantaraṁ sandhyāyāṁ satyāṁ saeva drākṣākṣetrapatiradhyakṣaṁ gadivān, kṛṣakān āhūya śeṣajanamārabhya prathamaṁ yāvat tebhyo bhṛtiṁ dehi|
When it was night, the proprietor of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, and ending with the first.
9 tena ye daṇḍadvayāvasthite samāyātāsteṣām ekaiko jano mudrācaturthāṁśaṁ prāpnot|
Then they who had been hired at the eleventh hour came, and received each a denarius.
10 tadānīṁ prathamaniyuktā janā āgatyānumitavanto vayamadhikaṁ prapsyāmaḥ, kintu tairapi mudrācaturthāṁśo'lābhi|
When the first came, they imagined they should receive more; but they got only a denarius a-piece.
11 tataste taṁ gṛhītvā tena kṣetrapatinā sākaṁ vāgyuddhaṁ kurvvantaḥ kathayāmāsuḥ,
Upon receiving it, they murmured against the householder,
12 vayaṁ kṛtsnaṁ dinaṁ tāpakleśau soḍhavantaḥ, kintu paścātāyā se janā daṇḍadvayamātraṁ pariśrāntavantaste'smābhiḥ samānāṁśāḥ kṛtāḥ|
saying, These last have worked but one hour; yet you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 tataḥ sa teṣāmekaṁ pratyuvāca, he vatsa, mayā tvāṁ prati kopyanyāyo na kṛtaḥ kiṁ tvayā matsamakṣaṁ mudrācaturthāṁśo nāṅgīkṛtaḥ?
He answering, said to one of them, Friend, I do you no injury. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14 tasmāt tava yat prāpyaṁ tadādāya yāhi, tubhyaṁ yati, paścātīyaniyuktalokāyāpi tati dātumicchāmi|
Take what is yours, and depart. It is my will to give to this last as much as to you.
15 svecchayā nijadravyavyavaharaṇaṁ kiṁ mayā na karttavyaṁ? mama dātṛtvāt tvayā kim īrṣyādṛṣṭiḥ kriyate?
And may not I do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?
16 ittham agrīyalokāḥ paścatīyā bhaviṣyanti, paścātīyajanāścagrīyā bhaviṣyanti, ahūtā bahavaḥ kintvalpe manobhilaṣitāḥ|
Thus the last shall be first, and first last; for there are many called, but few chosen.
17 tadanantaraṁ yīśu ryirūśālamnagaraṁ gacchan mārgamadhye śiṣyān ekānte vabhāṣe,
When Jesus was on the road to Jerusalem, he took the twelve aside, and said to them,
18 paśya vayaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ yāmaḥ, tatra pradhānayājakādhyāpakānāṁ kareṣu manuṣyaputraḥ samarpiṣyate;
We are now going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, who will condemn him to die,
19 te ca taṁ hantumājñāpya tiraskṛtya vetreṇa praharttuṁ kruśe dhātayituñcānyadeśīyānāṁ kareṣu samarpayiṣyanti, kintu sa tṛtīyadivase śmaśānād utthāpiṣyate|
and deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified; but the third day he will rise again.
20 tadānīṁ sivadīyasya nārī svaputrāvādāya yīśoḥ samīpam etya praṇamya kañcanānugrahaṁ taṁ yayāce|
Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to him with her sons, and, prostrating herself, entreated he would grant the request she had to make.
21 tadā yīśustāṁ proktavān, tvaṁ kiṁ yācase? tataḥ sā babhāṣe, bhavato rājatve mamānayoḥ sutayorekaṁ bhavaddakṣiṇapārśve dvitīyaṁ vāmapārśva upaveṣṭum ājñāpayatu|
He said to her, What do you wish? She answered, That, in your Reign, one of these my two sons may sit at your right hand, the other at your left.
22 yīśuḥ pratyuvāca, yuvābhyāṁ yad yācyate, tanna budhyate, ahaṁ yena kaṁsena pāsyāmi yuvābhyāṁ kiṁ tena pātuṁ śakyate? ahañca yena majjenena majjiṣye, yuvābhyāṁ kiṁ tena majjayituṁ śakyate? te jagaduḥ śakyate|
Jesus replying, said, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I must drink? They said to him, We can.
23 tadā sa uktavān, yuvāṁ mama kaṁsenāvaśyaṁ pāsyathaḥ, mama majjanena ca yuvāmapi majjiṣyethe, kintu yeṣāṁ kṛte mattātena nirūpitam idaṁ tān vihāyānyaṁ kamapi maddakṣiṇapārśve vāmapārśve ca samupaveśayituṁ mamādhikāro nāsti|
He answered, You shall indeed drink such a cup. But to sit on my right hand, and at my left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24 etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvānye daśaśiṣyāstau bhrātarau prati cukupuḥ|
The then, hearing this, were full of indignation against the two brothers;
25 kintu yīśuḥ svasamīpaṁ tānāhūya jagāda, anyadeśīyalokānāṁ narapatayastān adhikurvvanti, ye tu mahāntaste tān śāsati, iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
but Jesus, calling them to him, said, You know that the Princes of the nations domineer over them, and the great exercise their authority upon them.
26 kintu yuṣmākaṁ madhye na tathā bhavet, yuṣmākaṁ yaḥ kaścit mahān bubhūṣati, sa yuṣmān seveta;
It must not be so amongst you: on the contrary, whosoever would become great amongst you, let him be your servant;
27 yaśca yuṣmākaṁ madhye mukhyo bubhūṣati, sa yuṣmākaṁ dāso bhavet|
and whosoever would be chief amongst you, let him be your slave:
28 itthaṁ manujaputraḥ sevyo bhavituṁ nahi, kintu sevituṁ bahūnāṁ paritrāṇamūlyārthaṁ svaprāṇān dātuñcāgataḥ|
even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 anantaraṁ yirīhonagarāt teṣāṁ bahirgamanasamaye tasya paścād bahavo lokā vavrajuḥ|
As they left Jericho, followed by a great multitude,
30 aparaṁ vartmapārśva upaviśantau dvāvandhau tena mārgeṇa yīśo rgamanaṁ niśamya proccaiḥ kathayāmāsatuḥ, he prabho dāyūdaḥ santāna, āvayo rdayāṁ vidhehi|
two blind men, who sat by the way-side, hearing that Jesus passed by cried, saying, Master, Son of David, have pity on us.
31 tato lokāḥ sarvve tuṣṇīmbhavatamityuktvā tau tarjayāmāsuḥ; tathāpi tau punaruccaiḥ kathayāmāsatuḥ he prabho dāyūdaḥ santāna, āvāṁ dayasva|
The multitude charged them to be silent: but they cried the louder, saying, Master, Son of David, have pity on us.
32 tadānīṁ yīśuḥ sthagitaḥ san tāvāhūya bhāṣitavān, yuvayoḥ kṛte mayā kiṁ karttarvyaṁ? yuvāṁ kiṁ kāmayethe?
Then Jesus stopping, called them, and said, What do you want me to do for you?
33 tadā tāvuktavantau, prabho netrāṇi nau prasannāni bhaveyuḥ|
They answered, Sir, to make us see.
34 tadānīṁ yīśustau prati pramannaḥ san tayo rnetrāṇi pasparśa, tenaiva tau suvīkṣāñcakrāte tatpaścāt jagmutuśca|
Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. Immediately they received sight, and followed him.
