mathiH 26
1 yIshuretAn prastAvAn samApya shiShyAnUche,
And it came to pass, when Jesus ended all these words, he said unto his disciples:
2 yuShmAbhi rj nAtaM dinadvayAt paraM nistAramaha upasthAsyati, tatra manujasutaH krushena hantuM parakareShu samarpiShyate|
Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place, —and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.
3 tataH paraM pradhAnayAjakAdhyApakaprA nchaH kiyaphAnAmno mahAyAjakasyATTAlikAyAM militvA
Then, were gathered together, the High-priests and the Elders of the people, into the court of the High-priest who was called Caiaphas;
4 kenopAyena yIshuM dhR^itvA hantuM shaknuyuriti mantrayA nchakruH|
and they took counsel together, in order that, Jesus, by guile, they might secure, and slay.
5 kintu tairuktaM mahakAle na dharttavyaH, dhR^ite prajAnAM kalahena bhavituM shakyate|
They were saying, however: Not during the feast, lest, an uproar, arise among the people.
6 tato baithaniyApure shimonAkhyasya kuShThino veshmani yIshau tiShThati
But, Jesus, happening to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 kAchana yoShA shvetopalabhAjanena mahArghyaM sugandhi tailamAnIya bhojanAyopavishatastasya shirobhyaShechat|
there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.
8 kintu tadAlokya tachChiShyaiH kupitairuktaM, kuta itthamapavyayate?
And the disciples, seeing it, were greatly displeased, saying—To what end, this loss?
9 chedidaM vyakreShyata, tarhi bhUrimUlyaM prApya daridrebhyo vyatAriShyata|
For this could have been sold for much, and given to the destitute.
10 yIshunA tadavagatya te samuditAH, yoShAmenAM kuto duHkhinIM kurutha, sA mAM prati sAdhu karmmAkArShIt|
But Jesus, taking note, said unto them—Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;
11 yuShmAkamaM samIpe daridrAH satatamevAsate, kintu yuShmAkamantikehaM nAse satataM|
For, always, the destitute, have ye with you, —but, me, not always, have ye;
12 sA mama kAyopari sugandhitailaM siktvA mama shmashAnadAnakarmmAkArShIt|
For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.
13 atohaM yuShmAn tathyaM vadAmi sarvvasmin jagati yatra yatraiSha susamAchAraH prachAriShyate, tatra tatraitasyA nAryyAH smaraNArtham karmmedaM prachAriShyate|
Verily, I say unto you—Wheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.
14 tato dvAdashashiShyANAm IShkariyotIyayihUdAnAmaka ekaH shiShyaH pradhAnayAjakAnAmantikaM gatvA kathitavAn,
Then, went one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, unto the High-priests,
15 yadi yuShmAkaM kareShu yIshuM samarpayAmi, tarhi kiM dAsyatha? tadAnIM te tasmai triMshanmudrA dAtuM sthirIkR^itavantaH|
and said—What are ye willing to give unto me? and, I, unto you, will deliver him up. And they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
16 sa tadArabhya taM parakareShu samarpayituM suyogaM cheShTitavAn|
And, from that time, was he seeking a favourable opportunity that he might, deliver him up.
17 anantaraM kiNvashUnyapUpaparvvaNaH prathamehni shiShyA yIshum upagatya paprachChuH bhavatkR^ite kutra vayaM nistAramahabhojyam AyojayiShyAmaH? bhavataH kechChA?
And, on the first of the days of unleavened bread, the disciples came unto Jesus, saying—Where wilt thou, that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?
18 tadA sa gaditavAn, madhyenagaramamukapuMsaH samIpaM vrajitvA vadata, guru rgaditavAn, matkAlaH savidhaH, saha shiShyaistvadAlaye nistAramahabhojyaM bhokShye|
And, he, said—Go your way into the city, unto such-a-one, and say to him, The teacher, saith, My season, is, near, with thee, will I keep the passover, with my disciples.
19 tadA shiShyA yIshostAdR^ishanideshAnurUpakarmma vidhAya tatra nistAramahabhojyamAsAdayAmAsuH|
And the disciples did, as Jesus directed them, and made ready the passover.
20 tataH sandhyAyAM satyAM dvAdashabhiH shiShyaiH sAkaM sa nyavishat|
And, when, evening, came, he was reclining with the twelve [disciples];
21 aparaM bhu njAna uktavAn yuShmAn tathyaM vadAmi, yuShmAkameko mAM parakareShu samarpayiShyati|
and, as they were eating, he said—Verily, I say unto you, One from among you, will deliver me up.
22 tadA te. atIva duHkhitA ekaikasho vaktumArebhire, he prabho, sa kimahaM?
And, being exceedingly grieved, they began to be saying to him, each one—Can it be, I, Lord?
23 tataH sa jagAda, mayA sAkaM yo jano bhojanapAtre karaM saMkShipati, sa eva mAM parakareShu samarpayiShyati|
And, he, answering, said—He who hath dipped with me his hand in the bowl, the same, will deliver me up.
24 manujasutamadhi yAdR^ishaM likhitamAste, tadanurUpA tadgati rbhaviShyati; kintu yena puMsA sa parakareShu samarpayiShyate, hA hA chet sa nAjaniShyata, tadA tasya kShemamabhaviShyat|
The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, —But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!
25 tadA yihUdAnAmA yo janastaM parakareShu samarpayiShyati, sa uktavAn, he guro, sa kimahaM? tataH sa pratyuktavAn, tvayA satyaM gaditam|
And Judas, who was delivering him up, answering, said—Can it be, I, Rabbi? He saith unto him—Thou, hast said.
26 anantaraM teShAmashanakAle yIshuH pUpamAdAyeshvarIyaguNAnanUdya bhaMktvA shiShyebhyaH pradAya jagAda, madvapuHsvarUpamimaM gR^ihItvA khAdata|
And, as they were eating, Jesus, taking a loaf and blessing, brake, —and, giving to his disciples, said—Take, eat! This, is, my body.
27 pashchAt sa kaMsaM gR^ihlan IshvarIyaguNAnanUdya tebhyaH pradAya kathitavAn, sarvvai ryuShmAbhiranena pAtavyaM,
And, taking a cup, and giving thanks, he gave unto them, saying—Drink of it, all of you;
28 yasmAdanekeShAM pApamarShaNAya pAtitaM yanmannUtnaniyamarUpashoNitaM tadetat|
For, this, is my blood of the covenant, which, for many, is to be poured out, for remission of sins.
29 aparamahaM nUtnagostanIrasaM na pAsyAmi, tAvat gostanIphalarasaM punaH kadApi na pAsyAmi|
Moreover, I say unto you—In nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.
30 pashchAt te gItamekaM saMgIya jaitunAkhyagiriM gatavantaH|
And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.
31 tadAnIM yIshustAnavochat, asyAM rajanyAmahaM yuShmAkaM sarvveShAM vighnarUpo bhaviShyAmi, yato likhitamAste, "meShANAM rakShako yastaM prahariShyAmyahaM tataH| meShANAM nivaho nUnaM pravikIrNo bhaviShyati"||
Then, Jesus saith unto them—All ye, will find cause of stumbling in me, during this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and, the sheep of the flock, will be scattered abroad;
32 kintu shmashAnAt samutthAya yuShmAkamagre. ahaM gAlIlaM gamiShyAmi|
But, after my arising, I will go before you into Galilee.
33 pitarastaM provAcha, bhavAMshchet sarvveShAM vighnarUpo bhavati, tathApi mama na bhaviShyati|
Now Peter, answering, said unto him—Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.
34 tato yIshunA sa uktaH, tubhyamahaM tathyaM kathayAmi, yAminyAmasyAM charaNAyudhasya ravAt pUrvvaM tvaM mAM tri rnA NgIkariShyasi|
Jesus saith unto him: Verily, I say unto thee—During this night, before a cock crow, Thrice, wilt thou deny me.
35 tataH pitara uditavAn, yadyapi tvayA samaM marttavyaM, tathApi kadApi tvAM na nA NgIkariShyAmi; tathaiva sarvve shiShyAshchochuH|
Peter saith unto him: Even though it be needful for me, with thee to die, in nowise, will I deny thee. Likewise, all the disciples also, said.
36 anantaraM yIshuH shiShyaiH sAkaM getshimAnInAmakaM sthAnaM prasthAya tebhyaH kathitavAn, adaH sthAnaM gatvA yAvadahaM prArthayiShye tAvad yUyamatropavishata|
Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane, —and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.
37 pashchAt sa pitaraM sivadiyasutau cha sa NginaH kR^itvA gatavAn, shokAkulo. atIva vyathitashcha babhUva|
And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.
38 tAnavAdIchcha mR^itiyAtaneva matprANAnAM yAtanA jAyate, yUyamatra mayA sArddhaM jAgR^ita|
Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.
39 tataH sa ki nchiddUraM gatvAdhomukhaH patan prArthayA nchakre, he matpitaryadi bhavituM shaknoti, tarhi kaMso. ayaM matto dUraM yAtu; kintu madichChAvat na bhavatu, tvadichChAvad bhavatu|
And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying—My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, —Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.
40 tataH sa shiShyAnupetya tAn nidrato nirIkShya pitarAya kathayAmAsa, yUyaM mayA sAkaM daNDamekamapi jAgarituM nAshankuta?
And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter—Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?
41 parIkShAyAM na patituM jAgR^ita prArthayadhva ncha; AtmA samudyatosti, kintu vapu rdurbbalaM|
Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.
42 sa dvitIyavAraM prArthayA nchakre, he mattAta, na pIte yadi kaMsamidaM matto dUraM yAtuM na shaknoti, tarhi tvadichChAvad bhavatu|
Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.
43 sa punaretya tAn nidrato dadarsha, yatasteShAM netrANi nidrayA pUrNAnyAsan|
And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.
44 pashchAt sa tAn vihAya vrajitvA tR^itIyavAraM pUrvvavat kathayan prArthitavAn|
And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.
45 tataH shiShyAnupAgatya gaditavAn, sAmprataM shayAnAH kiM vishrAmyatha? pashyata, samaya upAsthAt, manujasutaH pApinAM kareShu samarpyate|
Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them, —Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.
46 uttiShThata, vayaM yAmaH, yo mAM parakareShu masarpayiShyati, pashyata, sa samIpamAyAti|
Arise! let us be going, —Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.
47 etatkathAkathanakAle dvAdashashiShyANAmeko yihUdAnAmako mukhyayAjakalokaprAchInaiH prahitAn asidhAriyaShTidhAriNo manujAn gR^ihItvA tatsamIpamupatasthau|
And, while, yet, he was speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and, with him, a large multitude, with swords and clubs, from the High-priests and Elders of the people.
48 asau parakareShvarpayitA pUrvvaM tAn itthaM sa NketayAmAsa, yamahaM chumbiShye, so. asau manujaH, saeva yuShmAbhi rdhAryyatAM|
And, he who was delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying—Whomsoever I shall kiss, he, it is, —secure him.
49 tadA sa sapadi yIshumupAgatya he guro, praNamAmItyuktvA taM chuchumbe|
And, straightway, coming unto Jesus, he said—Joy to thee! Rabbi, and eagerly kissed him.
50 tadA yIshustamuvAcha, he mitraM kimarthamAgatosi? tadA tairAgatya yIshurAkramya daghre|
But, Jesus, said unto him—Friend! wherefore art thou here? Then, coming forward, they thrust their hands upon Jesus, and secured him.
51 tato yIshoH sa NginAmekaH karaM prasAryya koShAdasiM bahiShkR^itya mahAyAjakasya dAsamekamAhatya tasya karNaM chichCheda|
And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, grasped his sword, and smiting the servant of the High-priest, cut off his ear.
52 tato yIshustaM jagAda, khaDgaM svasthAne nidhehi yato ye ye janA asiM dhArayanti, taevAsinA vinashyanti|
Then, Jesus saith unto him—Put back thy sword into its place, for, all they who take a sword, by a sword, shall perish.
53 aparaM pitA yathA madantikaM svargIyadUtAnAM dvAdashavAhinIto. adhikaM prahiNuyAt mayA tamuddishyedAnImeva tathA prArthayituM na shakyate, tvayA kimitthaM j nAyate?
Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?
54 tathA satItthaM ghaTiShyate dharmmapustakasya yadidaM vAkyaM tat kathaM sidhyet?
How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?
55 tadAnIM yIshu rjananivahaM jagAda, yUyaM khaDgayaShTIn AdAya mAM kiM chauraM dharttumAyAtAH? ahaM pratyahaM yuShmAbhiH sAkamupavishya samupAdishaM, tadA mAM nAdharata;
In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;
56 kintu bhaviShyadvAdinAM vAkyAnAM saMsiddhaye sarvvametadabhUt|tadA sarvve shiShyAstaM vihAya palAyanta|
But, this, hath, wholly, come to pass, that, the Scriptures of the prophets, may be fulfilled. Then, the disciples, all forsaking him, fled.
57 anantaraM te manujA yIshuM dhR^itvA yatrAdhyApakaprA nchaH pariShadaM kurvvanta upAvishan tatra kiyaphAnAmakamahAyAjakasyAntikaM ninyuH|
And, they who secured Jesus, led him away unto Caiaphas the High-priest, where the Scribes and the Elders gathered themselves together.
58 kintu sheShe kiM bhaviShyatIti vettuM pitaro dUre tatpashchAd vrajitvA mahAyAjakasyATTAlikAM pravishya dAsaiH sahita upAvishat|
Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, —and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.
59 tadAnIM pradhAnayAjakaprAchInamantriNaH sarvve yIshuM hantuM mR^iShAsAkShyam alipsanta,
Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;
60 kintu na lebhire| anekeShu mR^iShAsAkShiShvAgateShvapi tanna prApuH|
and found not any, though many came forward as false-witnesses. At length, however, there came forward, two,
61 sheShe dvau mR^iShAsAkShiNAvAgatya jagadatuH, pumAnayamakathayat, ahamIshvaramandiraM bhaMktvA dinatrayamadhye tannirmmAtuM shaknomi|
and said: This, man said—I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.
62 tadA mahAyAjaka utthAya yIshum avAdIt| tvaM kimapi na prativadasi? tvAmadhi kimete sAkShyaM vadanti?
And the High-priest, arising, said unto him—Nothing, answerest thou? What are these, against thee bearing witness?
63 kintu yIshu rmaunIbhUya tasyau| tato mahAyAjaka uktavAn, tvAm amareshvaranAmnA shapayAmi, tvamIshvarasya putro. abhiShikto bhavasi naveti vada|
But, Jesus, was silent. And, the High-priest, said unto him: I put thee on oath, by the Living God, that, to us, thou say—Whether, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God.
64 yIshuH pratyavadat, tvaM satyamuktavAn; ahaM yuShmAn tathyaM vadAmi, itaHparaM manujasutaM sarvvashaktimato dakShiNapArshve sthAtuM gagaNasthaM jaladharAnAruhyAyAntaM vIkShadhve|
Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you—Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.
65 tadA mahAyAjako nijavasanaM ChittvA jagAda, eSha IshvaraM ninditavAn, asmAkamaparasAkShyeNa kiM prayojanaM? pashyata, yUyamevAsyAsyAd IshvaranindAM shrutavantaH,
Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying—He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!
66 yuShmAbhiH kiM vivichyate? te pratyUchuH, vadhArho. ayaM|
How, to you, doth it seem? And, they, answering, said: Guilty of death, he is.
67 tato lokaistadAsye niShThIvitaM kechit pratalamAhatya kechichcha chapeTamAhatya babhAShire,
Then, spat they into his face, and buffeted him; and, others, struck him smartly,
68 he khrIShTa tvAM kashchapeTamAhatavAn? iti gaNayitvA vadAsmAn|
saying—Prophesy unto us, O Christ! Who is he that struck thee?
69 pitaro bahira Ngana upavishati, tadAnImekA dAsI tamupAgatya babhAShe, tvaM gAlIlIyayIshoH sahacharaekaH|
Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying—Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.
70 kintu sa sarvveShAM samakSham ana NgIkR^ityAvAdIt, tvayA yaduchyate, tadarthamahaM na vedmi|
But, he, denied before all, saying—I know not what thou sayest.
71 tadA tasmin bahirdvAraM gate. anyA dAsI taM nirIkShya tatratyajanAnavadat, ayamapi nAsaratIyayIshunA sArddham AsIt|
And, when he went out into the porch, another female saw him, and said unto them who were there—This, one was with Jesus the Nazarene.
72 tataH sa shapathena punarana NgIkR^itya kathitavAn, taM naraM na parichinomi|
And, again, he denied, with an oath—I know not the man.
73 kShaNAt paraM tiShThanto janA etya pitaram avadan, tvamavashyaM teShAmeka iti tvaduchchAraNameva dyotayati|
And, after a little, the by-standers, coming forward, said unto Peter: Truly, thou also, art, from among them, for, thy very speech, maketh thee, manifest.
74 kintu so. abhishapya kathitavAn, taM janaM nAhaM parichinomi, tadA sapadi kukkuTo rurAva|
Then, began he to be cursing and swearing—I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.
75 kukkuTaravAt prAk tvaM mAM trirapAhnoShyase, yaiShA vAg yIshunAvAdi tAM pitaraH saMsmR^itya bahiritvA khedAd bhR^ishaM chakranda|
And Peter was put in mind of the declaration of Jesus, of his having said—Before a cock crow, thrice, wilt thou utterly deny me; and, going forth outside, he wept bitterly.
