mathiḥ 26
1 yīśuretān prastāvān samāpya śiṣyānūce,
Now it happened, when Jesus had finished all these words, that He said to His disciples,
2 yuṣmābhi rjñātaṁ dinadvayāt paraṁ nistāramaha upasthāsyati, tatra manujasutaḥ kruśena hantuṁ parakareṣu samarpiṣyate|
“You know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of the Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
3 tataḥ paraṁ pradhānayājakādhyāpakaprāñcaḥ kiyaphānāmno mahāyājakasyāṭṭālikāyāṁ militvā
Then the chief priests, the scribes and the elders of the people assembled at the palace of the high priest, the one called Caiaphas,
4 kenopāyena yīśuṁ dhṛtvā hantuṁ śaknuyuriti mantrayāñcakruḥ|
and they plotted to seize Jesus by trickery and kill Him.
5 kintu tairuktaṁ mahakāle na dharttavyaḥ, dhṛte prajānāṁ kalahena bhavituṁ śakyate|
But they said, “Not during the feast, in order not to have an uproar among the people.”
6 tato baithaniyāpure śimonākhyasya kuṣṭhino veśmani yīśau tiṣṭhati
Now when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,
7 kācana yoṣā śvetopalabhājanena mahārghyaṁ sugandhi tailamānīya bhojanāyopaviśatastasya śirobhyaṣecat|
a woman approached Him, having an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she began to pour it on His head as He reclined at the table.
8 kintu tadālokya tacchiṣyaiḥ kupitairuktaṁ, kuta itthamapavyayate?
But upon seeing it His disciples were indignant saying: “Why this waste?
9 cedidaṁ vyakreṣyata, tarhi bhūrimūlyaṁ prāpya daridrebhyo vyatāriṣyata|
For this perfume could have been sold for a good deal and given to the poor.”
10 yīśunā tadavagatya te samuditāḥ, yoṣāmenāṁ kuto duḥkhinīṁ kurutha, sā māṁ prati sādhu karmmākārṣīt|
But being aware Jesus said to them: “Why are you bothering the woman? She has done something beautiful to me.
11 yuṣmākamaṁ samīpe daridrāḥ satatamevāsate, kintu yuṣmākamantikehaṁ nāse satataṁ|
You will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 sā mama kāyopari sugandhitailaṁ siktvā mama śmaśānadānakarmmākārṣīt|
In putting this perfume on my body she did it with a view to my burial.
13 atohaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi sarvvasmin jagati yatra yatraiṣa susamācāraḥ pracāriṣyate, tatra tatraitasyā nāryyāḥ smaraṇārtham karmmedaṁ pracāriṣyate|
Assuredly I say to you, wherever this gospel may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be told in her memory.”
14 tato dvādaśaśiṣyāṇām īṣkariyotīyayihūdānāmaka ekaḥ śiṣyaḥ pradhānayājakānāmantikaṁ gatvā kathitavān,
Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 yadi yuṣmākaṁ kareṣu yīśuṁ samarpayāmi, tarhi kiṁ dāsyatha? tadānīṁ te tasmai triṁśanmudrā dātuṁ sthirīkṛtavantaḥ|
and said, “What are you willing to give me so that I deliver Him to you?” So they counted out to him thirty silver coins.
16 sa tadārabhya taṁ parakareṣu samarpayituṁ suyogaṁ ceṣṭitavān|
From then on he kept looking for an opportunity to betray Him.
17 anantaraṁ kiṇvaśūnyapūpaparvvaṇaḥ prathamehni śiṣyā yīśum upagatya papracchuḥ bhavatkṛte kutra vayaṁ nistāramahabhojyam āyojayiṣyāmaḥ? bhavataḥ kecchā?
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus saying to Him, “Where do you want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
18 tadā sa gaditavān, madhyenagaramamukapuṁsaḥ samīpaṁ vrajitvā vadata, guru rgaditavān, matkālaḥ savidhaḥ, saha śiṣyaistvadālaye nistāramahabhojyaṁ bhokṣye|
So He said: “Go into the city to ‘you know who’ and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near, I will do the Passover with my disciples at your place.”’”
19 tadā śiṣyā yīśostādṛśanideśānurūpakarmma vidhāya tatra nistāramahabhojyamāsādayāmāsuḥ|
And the disciples did as Jesus directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 tataḥ sandhyāyāṁ satyāṁ dvādaśabhiḥ śiṣyaiḥ sākaṁ sa nyaviśat|
When it was evening He was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 aparaṁ bhuñjāna uktavān yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, yuṣmākameko māṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
And as they were eating He said, “Assuredly I say to you that one of you will betray me.”
22 tadā te'tīva duḥkhitā ekaikaśo vaktumārebhire, he prabho, sa kimahaṁ?
This really upset them and they each began to say to Him, “It isn't me, is it, Lord?”
23 tataḥ sa jagāda, mayā sākaṁ yo jano bhojanapātre karaṁ saṁkṣipati, sa eva māṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati|
In answer He said: “It is the one who dipped his hand in the bowl with me, he will betray me.
24 manujasutamadhi yādṛśaṁ likhitamāste, tadanurūpā tadgati rbhaviṣyati; kintu yena puṁsā sa parakareṣu samarpayiṣyate, hā hā cet sa nājaniṣyata, tadā tasya kṣemamabhaviṣyat|
The Son of the Man is really going just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of the Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man not to have been born.”
25 tadā yihūdānāmā yo janastaṁ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati, sa uktavān, he guro, sa kimahaṁ? tataḥ sa pratyuktavān, tvayā satyaṁ gaditam|
Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?” He says to him, “You said it!”
26 anantaraṁ teṣāmaśanakāle yīśuḥ pūpamādāyeśvarīyaguṇānanūdya bhaṁktvā śiṣyebhyaḥ pradāya jagāda, madvapuḥsvarūpamimaṁ gṛhītvā khādata|
Now as they were eating, after taking the bread and blessing it, Jesus broke it, gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27 paścāt sa kaṁsaṁ gṛhlan īśvarīyaguṇānanūdya tebhyaḥ pradāya kathitavān, sarvvai ryuṣmābhiranena pātavyaṁ,
And taking the cup and giving thanks He gave it to them saying: “Drink of it, all of you;
28 yasmādanekeṣāṁ pāpamarṣaṇāya pātitaṁ yanmannūtnaniyamarūpaśoṇitaṁ tadetat|
for this is my blood, that of the new covenant, that which is being shed on behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.
29 aparamahaṁ nūtnagostanīrasaṁ na pāsyāmi, tāvat gostanīphalarasaṁ punaḥ kadāpi na pāsyāmi|
Furthermore, I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.”
30 paścāt te gītamekaṁ saṁgīya jaitunākhyagiriṁ gatavantaḥ|
And after hymn-singing they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 tadānīṁ yīśustānavocat, asyāṁ rajanyāmahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ vighnarūpo bhaviṣyāmi, yato likhitamāste, "meṣāṇāṁ rakṣako yastaṁ prahariṣyāmyahaṁ tataḥ| meṣāṇāṁ nivaho nūnaṁ pravikīrṇo bhaviṣyati"||
Then Jesus says to them: “All of you will be caused to stumble because of me this night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 kintu śmaśānāt samutthāya yuṣmākamagre'haṁ gālīlaṁ gamiṣyāmi|
But after I am raised I will go before you to Galilee.”
33 pitarastaṁ provāca, bhavāṁścet sarvveṣāṁ vighnarūpo bhavati, tathāpi mama na bhaviṣyati|
Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if everyone else is caused to stumble because of you, I will never be caused to stumble.”
34 tato yīśunā sa uktaḥ, tubhyamahaṁ tathyaṁ kathayāmi, yāminyāmasyāṁ caraṇāyudhasya ravāt pūrvvaṁ tvaṁ māṁ tri rnāṅgīkariṣyasi|
Jesus said to him, “Assuredly I say to you that this night, before any rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
35 tataḥ pitara uditavān, yadyapi tvayā samaṁ marttavyaṁ, tathāpi kadāpi tvāṁ na nāṅgīkariṣyāmi; tathaiva sarvve śiṣyāścocuḥ|
Peter says to Him, “Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the other disciples said the same.
36 anantaraṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sākaṁ getśimānīnāmakaṁ sthānaṁ prasthāya tebhyaḥ kathitavān, adaḥ sthānaṁ gatvā yāvadahaṁ prārthayiṣye tāvad yūyamatropaviśata|
Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He says to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 paścāt sa pitaraṁ sivadiyasutau ca saṅginaḥ kṛtvā gatavān, śokākulo'tīva vyathitaśca babhūva|
And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along He began to be troubled and distressed.
38 tānavādīcca mṛtiyātaneva matprāṇānāṁ yātanā jāyate, yūyamatra mayā sārddhaṁ jāgṛta|
Then Jesus says to them: “My soul is in anguish, to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me.”
39 tataḥ sa kiñciddūraṁ gatvādhomukhaḥ patan prārthayāñcakre, he matpitaryadi bhavituṁ śaknoti, tarhi kaṁso'yaṁ matto dūraṁ yātu; kintu madicchāvat na bhavatu, tvadicchāvad bhavatu|
And going a little farther He fell on His face and prayed saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by; nevertheless not as I wish, but as you do.”
40 tataḥ sa śiṣyānupetya tān nidrato nirīkṣya pitarāya kathayāmāsa, yūyaṁ mayā sākaṁ daṇḍamekamapi jāgarituṁ nāśankuta?
Then He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and He says to Peter: “So, you (pl.) were not able to watch with me one hour!
41 parīkṣāyāṁ na patituṁ jāgṛta prārthayadhvañca; ātmā samudyatosti, kintu vapu rdurbbalaṁ|
Watch and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit on its part is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 sa dvitīyavāraṁ prārthayāñcakre, he mattāta, na pīte yadi kaṁsamidaṁ matto dūraṁ yātuṁ na śaknoti, tarhi tvadicchāvad bhavatu|
And going away a second time He prayed saying, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
43 sa punaretya tān nidrato dadarśa, yatasteṣāṁ netrāṇi nidrayā pūrṇānyāsan|
And coming He finds them sleeping again, because their eyes had been weighed down.
44 paścāt sa tān vihāya vrajitvā tṛtīyavāraṁ pūrvvavat kathayan prārthitavān|
So leaving them He went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
45 tataḥ śiṣyānupāgatya gaditavān, sāmprataṁ śayānāḥ kiṁ viśrāmyatha? paśyata, samaya upāsthāt, manujasutaḥ pāpināṁ kareṣu samarpyate|
Then He comes to His disciples and says to them: “Sleep some more and take your rest! Actually, the hour is here and the Son of the Man is being betrayed into sinners' hands.
46 uttiṣṭhata, vayaṁ yāmaḥ, yo māṁ parakareṣu masarpayiṣyati, paśyata, sa samīpamāyāti|
Get up, let's go; see, the one who is betraying me has come!”
47 etatkathākathanakāle dvādaśaśiṣyāṇāmeko yihūdānāmako mukhyayājakalokaprācīnaiḥ prahitān asidhāriyaṣṭidhāriṇo manujān gṛhītvā tatsamīpamupatasthau|
And while He was still speaking, there was Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 asau parakareṣvarpayitā pūrvvaṁ tān itthaṁ saṅketayāmāsa, yamahaṁ cumbiṣye, so'sau manujaḥ, saeva yuṣmābhi rdhāryyatāṁ|
(Now His betrayer had given them a sign saying, “Whomever I kiss, it is He; take Him!”)
49 tadā sa sapadi yīśumupāgatya he guro, praṇamāmītyuktvā taṁ cucumbe|
And he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 tadā yīśustamuvāca, he mitraṁ kimarthamāgatosi? tadā tairāgatya yīśurākramya daghre|
So Jesus said to him, “Friend, what brings you here?” Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
51 tato yīśoḥ saṅgināmekaḥ karaṁ prasāryya koṣādasiṁ bahiṣkṛtya mahāyājakasya dāsamekamāhatya tasya karṇaṁ ciccheda|
And then, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest he cut off his ear!
52 tato yīśustaṁ jagāda, khaḍgaṁ svasthāne nidhehi yato ye ye janā asiṁ dhārayanti, taevāsinā vinaśyanti|
But Jesus says to him: “Put your sword back into its place, for all who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 aparaṁ pitā yathā madantikaṁ svargīyadūtānāṁ dvādaśavāhinīto'dhikaṁ prahiṇuyāt mayā tamuddiśyedānīmeva tathā prārthayituṁ na śakyate, tvayā kimitthaṁ jñāyate?
Do you actually suppose that I cannot call upon my Father right now and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of angels?
54 tathā satītthaṁ ghaṭiṣyate dharmmapustakasya yadidaṁ vākyaṁ tat kathaṁ sidhyet?
But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it has to happen this way?”
55 tadānīṁ yīśu rjananivahaṁ jagāda, yūyaṁ khaḍgayaṣṭīn ādāya māṁ kiṁ cauraṁ dharttumāyātāḥ? ahaṁ pratyahaṁ yuṣmābhiḥ sākamupaviśya samupādiśaṁ, tadā māṁ nādharata;
At that time Jesus said to the crowd: “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a bandit, to arrest me? I used to sit daily with you in the temple, teaching, and you did not seize me.
56 kintu bhaviṣyadvādināṁ vākyānāṁ saṁsiddhaye sarvvametadabhūt|tadā sarvve śiṣyāstaṁ vihāya palāyanta|
But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets should be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and ran away.
57 anantaraṁ te manujā yīśuṁ dhṛtvā yatrādhyāpakaprāñcaḥ pariṣadaṁ kurvvanta upāviśan tatra kiyaphānāmakamahāyājakasyāntikaṁ ninyuḥ|
So those who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 kintu śeṣe kiṁ bhaviṣyatīti vettuṁ pitaro dūre tatpaścād vrajitvā mahāyājakasyāṭṭālikāṁ praviśya dāsaiḥ sahita upāviśat|
Now Peter was following Him at a distance, up to the high priest's courtyard. And going inside he sat down with the attendants, to see the end.
59 tadānīṁ pradhānayājakaprācīnamantriṇaḥ sarvve yīśuṁ hantuṁ mṛṣāsākṣyam alipsanta,
The chief priests and the elders, in fact the whole Council, kept looking for false witnesses against Jesus so that they could put Him to death,
60 kintu na lebhire| anekeṣu mṛṣāsākṣiṣvāgateṣvapi tanna prāpuḥ|
but did not find any. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find any. But at last two false witnesses came forward
61 śeṣe dvau mṛṣāsākṣiṇāvāgatya jagadatuḥ, pumānayamakathayat, ahamīśvaramandiraṁ bhaṁktvā dinatrayamadhye tannirmmātuṁ śaknomi|
and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’”
62 tadā mahāyājaka utthāya yīśum avādīt| tvaṁ kimapi na prativadasi? tvāmadhi kimete sākṣyaṁ vadanti?
And standing up the high priest said to Him: “Do you answer nothing? What is it that these men are testifying against you?”
63 kintu yīśu rmaunībhūya tasyau| tato mahāyājaka uktavān, tvām amareśvaranāmnā śapayāmi, tvamīśvarasya putro'bhiṣikto bhavasi naveti vada|
But Jesus kept silent. So reacting the high priest said to Him, “I put you under oath by the Living God so that you tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God!”
64 yīśuḥ pratyavadat, tvaṁ satyamuktavān; ahaṁ yuṣmān tathyaṁ vadāmi, itaḥparaṁ manujasutaṁ sarvvaśaktimato dakṣiṇapārśve sthātuṁ gagaṇasthaṁ jaladharānāruhyāyāntaṁ vīkṣadhve|
Jesus says to him: “You said it. Furthermore, I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of the Man sitting at the Power's right, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 tadā mahāyājako nijavasanaṁ chittvā jagāda, eṣa īśvaraṁ ninditavān, asmākamaparasākṣyeṇa kiṁ prayojanaṁ? paśyata, yūyamevāsyāsyād īśvaranindāṁ śrutavantaḥ,
Then the high priest tore his clothes saying: “He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? See, now you have heard His blasphemy!
66 yuṣmābhiḥ kiṁ vivicyate? te pratyūcuḥ, vadhārho'yaṁ|
What do you think?” So in answer they said, “He deserves death!”
67 tato lokaistadāsye niṣṭhīvitaṁ kecit pratalamāhatya kecicca capeṭamāhatya babhāṣire,
Then they spat in His face and punched Him, while others slapped Him
68 he khrīṣṭa tvāṁ kaścapeṭamāhatavān? iti gaṇayitvā vadāsmān|
saying, “Messiah, prophesy to us! Who is the one who hit you?”
69 pitaro bahiraṅgana upaviśati, tadānīmekā dāsī tamupāgatya babhāṣe, tvaṁ gālīlīyayīśoḥ sahacaraekaḥ|
Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a certain servant girl approached him saying, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70 kintu sa sarvveṣāṁ samakṣam anaṅgīkṛtyāvādīt, tvayā yaducyate, tadarthamahaṁ na vedmi|
But he denied before them all saying, “I don't know what you are saying.”
71 tadā tasmin bahirdvāraṁ gate 'nyā dāsī taṁ nirīkṣya tatratyajanānavadat, ayamapi nāsaratīyayīśunā sārddham āsīt|
And having gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and says to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus the Natsorean.”
72 tataḥ sa śapathena punaranaṅgīkṛtya kathitavān, taṁ naraṁ na paricinomi|
And he denied again, with an oath, “I do not know the man!”
73 kṣaṇāt paraṁ tiṣṭhanto janā etya pitaram avadan, tvamavaśyaṁ teṣāmeka iti tvaduccāraṇameva dyotayati|
But a little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Really, you too are one of them, because your very accent gives you away!”
74 kintu so'bhiśapya kathitavān, taṁ janaṁ nāhaṁ paricinomi, tadā sapadi kukkuṭo rurāva|
Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 kukkuṭaravāt prāk tvaṁ māṁ trirapāhnoṣyase, yaiṣā vāg yīśunāvādi tāṁ pitaraḥ saṁsmṛtya bahiritvā khedād bhṛśaṁ cakranda|
And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before any rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And going out he cried bitterly.
