Matthew 8
1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
yadA sa parvvatAd avArohat tadA bahavo mAnavAstatpazcAd vavrajuH|
2 He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
ekaH kuSThavAn Agatya taM praNamya babhASe, he prabho, yadi bhavAn saMmanyate, tarhi mAM nirAmayaM karttuM zaknoti|
3 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
tato yIzuH karaM prasAryya tasyAGgaM spRzan vyAjahAra, sammanye'haM tvaM nirAmayo bhava; tena sa tatkSaNAt kuSThenAmoci|
4 and then Jesus said to him, ‘Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
tato yIzustaM jagAda, avadhehi kathAmetAM kazcidapi mA brUhi, kintu yAjakasya sannidhiM gatvA svAtmAnaM darzaya manujebhyo nijanirAmayatvaM pramANayituM mUsAnirUpitaM dravyam utsRja ca|
5 After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
tadanantaraM yIzunA kapharnAhUmnAmani nagare praviSTe kazcit zatasenApatistatsamIpam Agatya vinIya babhASe,
6 ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.’
he prabho, madIya eko dAsaH pakSAghAtavyAdhinA bhRzaM vyathitaH, satu zayanIya Aste|
7 ‘I will come and cure him,’ answered Jesus.
tadAnIM yIzustasmai kathitavAn, ahaM gatvA taM nirAmayaM kariSyAmi|
8 ‘Sir,’ the centurion went on, ‘I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
tataH sa zatasenApatiH pratyavadat, he prabho, bhavAn yat mama gehamadhyaM yAti tadyogyabhAjanaM nAhamasmi; vAGmAtram Adizatu, tenaiva mama dAso nirAmayo bhaviSyati|
9 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them “Go,” he goes, and to another “Come,” he comes, and to my slave “Do this,” he does it.’
yato mayi paranidhne'pi mama nidezavazyAH kati kati senAH santi, tata ekasmin yAhItyukte sa yAti, tadanyasmin ehItyukte sa AyAti, tathA mama nijadAse karmmaitat kurvvityukte sa tat karoti|
10 Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, ‘Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
tadAnIM yIzustasyaitat vaco nizamya vismayApanno'bhUt; nijapazcAdgAmino mAnavAn avocca, yuSmAn tathyaM vacmi, isrAyelIyalokAnAM madhye'pi naitAdRzo vizvAso mayA prAptaH|
11 Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
anyaccAhaM yuSmAn vadAmi, bahavaH pUrvvasyAH pazcimAyAzca diza Agatya ibrAhImA ishAkA yAkUbA ca sAkam militvA samupavekSyanti;
12 while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
kintu yatra sthAne rodanadantagharSaNe bhavatastasmin bahirbhUtatamisre rAjyasya santAnA nikSesyante|
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go now, and it will be according to your faith.’ And the man was cured that very hour.
tataH paraM yIzustaM zatasenApatiM jagAda, yAhi, tava pratItyanusArato maGgalaM bhUyAt; tadA tasminneva daNDe tadIyadAso nirAmayo babhUva|
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
anantaraM yIzuH pitarasya gehamupasthAya jvareNa pIDitAM zayanIyasthitAM tasya zvazrUM vIkSAJcakre|
15 On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
tatastena tasyAH karasya spRSTatavAt jvarastAM tatyAja, tadA sA samutthAya tAn siSeve|
16 In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
anantaraM sandhyAyAM satyAM bahuzo bhUtagrastamanujAn tasya samIpam AninyuH sa ca vAkyena bhUtAn tyAjayAmAsa, sarvvaprakArapIDitajanAMzca nirAmayAn cakAra;
17 in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.”
tasmAt, sarvvA durbbalatAsmAkaM tenaiva paridhAritA| asmAkaM sakalaM vyAdhiM saeva saMgRhItavAn| yadetadvacanaM yizayiyabhaviSyadvAdinoktamAsIt, tattadA saphalamabhavat|
18 Seeing a crowd round him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
anantaraM yIzuzcaturdikSu jananivahaM vilokya taTinyAH pAraM yAtuM ziSyAn Adideza|
19 A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
tadAnIm eka upAdhyAya Agatya kathitavAn, he guro, bhavAn yatra yAsyati tatrAhamapi bhavataH pazcAd yAsyAmi|
20 ‘Foxes have holes,’ answered Jesus, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
tato yIzu rjagAda, kroSTuH sthAtuM sthAnaM vidyate, vihAyaso vihaGgamAnAM nIDAni ca santi; kintu manuSyaputrasya ziraH sthApayituM sthAnaM na vidyate|
21 ‘Master,’ said another, who was a disciple, ‘let me first go and bury my father.’
anantaram apara ekaH ziSyastaM babhASe, he prabho, prathamato mama pitaraM zmazAne nidhAtuM gamanArthaM mAm anumanyasva|
22 But Jesus answered, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
tato yIzuruktavAn mRtA mRtAn zmazAne nidadhatu, tvaM mama pazcAd Agaccha|
23 Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
anantaraM tasmin nAvamArUDhe tasya ziSyAstatpazcAt jagmuH|
24 Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
pazcAt sAgarasya madhyaM teSu gateSu tAdRzaH prabalo jhaJbhzanila udatiSThat, yena mahAtaraGga utthAya taraNiM chAditavAn, kintu sa nidrita AsIt|
25 and the disciples came and roused him. ‘Master,’ they cried, ‘save us; we are lost!’
tadA ziSyA Agatya tasya nidrAbhaGgaM kRtvA kathayAmAsuH, he prabho, vayaM mriyAmahe, bhavAn asmAkaM prANAn rakSatu|
26 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he said. ‘You of little faith!’ Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
tadA sa tAn uktavAn, he alpavizvAsino yUyaM kuto vibhItha? tataH sa utthAya vAtaM sAgaraJca tarjayAmAsa, tato nirvvAtamabhavat|
27 The men were amazed, and exclaimed, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!’
aparaM manujA vismayaM vilokya kathayAmAsuH, aho vAtasaritpatI asya kimAjJAgrAhiNau? kIdRzo'yaM mAnavaH|
28 On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
anantaraM sa pAraM gatvA giderIyadezam upasthitavAn; tadA dvau bhUtagrastamanujau zmazAnasthAnAd bahi rbhUtvA taM sAkSAt kRtavantau, tAvetAdRzau pracaNDAvAstAM yat tena sthAnena kopi yAtuM nAzaknot|
29 Suddenly they shrieked out, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?’
tAvucaiH kathayAmAsatuH, he Izvarasya sUno yIzo, tvayA sAkam AvayoH kaH sambandhaH? nirUpitakAlAt prAgeva kimAvAbhyAM yAtanAM dAtum atrAgatosi?
30 A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
tadAnIM tAbhyAM kiJcid dUre varAhANAm eko mahAvrajo'carat|
31 and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’
tato bhUtau tau tasyAntike vinIya kathayAmAsatuH, yadyAvAM tyAjayasi, tarhi varAhANAM madhyevrajam AvAM preraya|
32 ‘Go,’ he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
tadA yIzuravadat yAtaM, anantaraM tau yadA manujau vihAya varAhAn Azritavantau, tadA te sarvve varAhA uccasthAnAt mahAjavena dhAvantaH sAgarIyatoye majjanto mamruH|
33 At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
tato varAharakSakAH palAyamAnA madhyenagaraM tau bhUtagrastau prati yadyad aghaTata, tAH sarvvavArttA avadan|
34 At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
tato nAgarikAH sarvve manujA yIzuM sAkSAt karttuM bahirAyAtAH taJca vilokya prArthayAJcakrire bhavAn asmAkaM sImAto yAtu|
