mathiḥ 4
1 tataḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ pratārakeṇa parīkṣito bhavitum ātmanā prāntaram ākṛṣṭaḥ
Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.
2 san catvāriṁśadahorātrān anāhārastiṣṭhan kṣudhito babhūva|
And, after he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he became hungry.
3 tadānīṁ parīkṣitā tatsamīpam āgatya vyāhṛtavān, yadi tvamīśvarātmajo bhavestarhyājñayā pāṣāṇānetān pūpān vidhehi|
The Tempter came to him, and said: “If you are God’s Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
4 tataḥ sa pratyabravīt, itthaṁ likhitamāste, "manujaḥ kevalapūpena na jīviṣyati, kintvīśvarasya vadanād yāni yāni vacāṁsi niḥsaranti taireva jīviṣyati|"
But Jesus answered, “Scripture says – ‘It is not on bread alone that a person is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 tadā pratārakastaṁ puṇyanagaraṁ nītvā mandirasya cūḍopari nidhāya gaditavān,
Then the devil took him to the Holy City, and, placing him on the parapet of the temple, said to him,
6 tvaṁ yadiśvarasya tanayo bhavestarhīto'dhaḥ pata, yata itthaṁ likhitamāste, ādekṣyati nijān dūtān rakṣituṁ tvāṁ parameśvaraḥ| yathā sarvveṣu mārgeṣu tvadīyacaraṇadvaye| na laget prastarāghātastvāṁ ghariṣyanti te karaiḥ||
“If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down, for scripture says – ‘He will give his angels commands about you, and on their hands they will lift you up, so you do not even strike your foot against a stone.’”
7 tadānīṁ yīśustasmai kathitavān etadapi likhitamāste, "tvaṁ nijaprabhuṁ parameśvaraṁ mā parīkṣasva|"
“Scripture also says,” answered Jesus, “‘You must not tempt the Lord your God.’”
8 anantaraṁ pratārakaḥ punarapi tam atyuñcadharādharopari nītvā jagataḥ sakalarājyāni tadaiśvaryyāṇi ca darśayāścakāra kathayāñcakāra ca,
The third time, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and, showing him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, said to him:
9 yadi tvaṁ daṇḍavad bhavan māṁ praṇamestarhyaham etāni tubhyaṁ pradāsyāmi|
“All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and worship me.”
10 tadānīṁ yīśustamavocat, dūrībhava pratāraka, likhitamidam āste, "tvayā nijaḥ prabhuḥ parameśvaraḥ praṇamyaḥ kevalaḥ sa sevyaśca|"
Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For scripture says – ‘You must worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.’”
11 tataḥ pratārakeṇa sa paryyatyāji, tadā svargīyadūtairāgatya sa siṣeve|
Then the devil left him alone, and angels came and helped him.
12 tadanantaraṁ yohan kārāyāṁ babandhe, tadvārttāṁ niśamya yīśunā gālīl prāsthīyata|
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee.
13 tataḥ paraṁ sa nāsarannagaraṁ vihāya jalaghestaṭe sibūlūnnaptālī etayoruvabhayoḥ pradeśayoḥ sīmnormadhyavarttī ya: kapharnāhūm tannagaram itvā nyavasat|
Afterward, leaving Nazareth, he went and settled at Capernaum, which is by the side of the sea, within the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
14 tasmāt, anyādeśīyagālīli yarddanpāre'bdhirodhasi| naptālisibūlūndeśau yatra sthāne sthitau purā|
in fulfillment of these words in the prophet Isaiah –
15 tatratyā manujā ye ye paryyabhrāmyan tamisrake| tairjanairbṛhadālokaḥ paridarśiṣyate tadā| avasan ye janā deśe mṛtyucchāyāsvarūpake| teṣāmupari lokānāmālokaḥ saṁprakāśitaḥ||
‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the land of the Road by the sea, and beyond the Jordan, with Galilee of the Gentiles –
16 yadetadvacanaṁ yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktaṁ, tat tadā saphalam abhūt|
The people who were living in darkness have seen a great light, and, for those who were living in the shadow-land of death, a light has dawned!’
17 anantaraṁ yīśuḥ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan etāṁ kathāṁ kathayitum ārebhe, manāṁsi parāvarttayata, svargīyarājatvaṁ savidhamabhavat|
At that time Jesus began to proclaim – “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
18 tataḥ paraṁ yīśu rgālīlo jaladhestaṭena gacchan gacchan āndriyastasya bhrātā śimon arthato yaṁ pitaraṁ vadanti etāvubhau jalaghau jālaṁ kṣipantau dadarśa, yatastau mīnadhāriṇāvāstām|
As Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers – Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew – casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
19 tadā sa tāvāhūya vyājahāra, yuvāṁ mama paścād āgacchataṁ, yuvāmahaṁ manujadhāriṇau kariṣyāmi|
“Come and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will teach you to fish for people.”
20 tenaiva tau jālaṁ vihāya tasya paścāt āgacchatām|
The two men left their nets at once and followed him.
21 anantaraṁ tasmāt sthānāt vrajan vrajan sivadiyasya sutau yākūb yohannāmānau dvau sahajau tātena sārddhaṁ naukopari jālasya jīrṇoddhāraṁ kurvvantau vīkṣya tāvāhūtavān|
Going further on, he saw two other men who were also brothers, James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, in their boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
22 tatkṣaṇāt tau nāvaṁ svatātañca vihāya tasya paścādgāminau babhūvatuḥ|
and they at once left their boat and their father, and followed him.
23 anantaraṁ bhajanabhavane samupadiśan rājyasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan manujānāṁ sarvvaprakārān rogān sarvvaprakārapīḍāśca śamayan yīśuḥ kṛtsnaṁ gālīldeśaṁ bhramitum ārabhata|
Jesus went all through Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people;
24 tena kṛtsnasuriyādeśasya madhyaṁ tasya yaśo vyāpnot, aparaṁ bhūtagrastā apasmārargīṇaḥ pakṣādhātiprabhṛtayaśca yāvanto manujā nānāvidhavyādhibhiḥ kliṣṭā āsan, teṣu sarvveṣu tasya samīpam ānīteṣu sa tān svasthān cakāra|
and his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain – any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralyzed; and he cured them.
25 etena gālīl-dikāpani-yirūśālam-yihūdīyadeśebhyo yarddanaḥ pārāñca bahavo manujāstasya paścād āgacchan|
He was followed by large crowds from Galilee, the district of the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
