Mark 3
1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
anantaraṁ yīśuḥ puna rbhajanagṛhaṁ praviṣṭastasmin sthāne śuṣkahasta eko mānava āsīt|
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
sa viśrāmavāre tamarogiṇaṁ kariṣyati navetyatra bahavastam apavadituṁ chidramapekṣitavantaḥ|
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
tadā sa taṁ śuṣkahastaṁ manuṣyaṁ jagāda madhyasthāne tvamuttiṣṭha|
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
tataḥ paraṁ sa tān papraccha viśrāmavāre hitamahitaṁ tathā hi prāṇarakṣā vā prāṇanāśa eṣāṁ madhye kiṁ karaṇīyaṁ? kintu te niḥśabdāstasthuḥ|
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
tadā sa teṣāmantaḥkaraṇānāṁ kāṭhinyāddheto rduḥkhitaḥ krodhāt cartudaśo dṛṣṭavān taṁ mānuṣaṁ gaditavān taṁ hastaṁ vistāraya, tatastena haste vistṛte taddhasto'nyahastavad arogo jātaḥ|
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
atha phirūśinaḥ prasthāya taṁ nāśayituṁ herodīyaiḥ saha mantrayitumārebhire|
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
ataeva yīśustatsthānaṁ parityajya śiṣyaiḥ saha punaḥ sāgarasamīpaṁ gataḥ;
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
tato gālīlyihūdā-yirūśālam-idom-yardannadīpārasthānebhyo lokasamūhastasya paścād gataḥ; tadanyaḥ sorasīdanoḥ samīpavāsilokasamūhaśca tasya mahākarmmaṇāṁ vārttaṁ śrutvā tasya sannidhimāgataḥ|
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
tadā lokasamūhaścet tasyopari patati ityāśaṅkya sa nāvamekāṁ nikaṭe sthāpayituṁ śiṣyānādiṣṭavān|
yato'nekamanuṣyāṇāmārogyakaraṇād vyādhigrastāḥ sarvve taṁ spraṣṭuṁ parasparaṁ balena yatnavantaḥ|
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
aparañca apavitrabhūtāstaṁ dṛṣṭvā taccaraṇayoḥ patitvā procaiḥ procuḥ, tvamīśvarasya putraḥ|
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
kintu sa tān dṛḍham ājñāpya svaṁ paricāyituṁ niṣiddhavān|
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
anantaraṁ sa parvvatamāruhya yaṁ yaṁ praticchā taṁ tamāhūtavān tataste tatsamīpamāgatāḥ|
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
tadā sa dvādaśajanān svena saha sthātuṁ susaṁvādapracārāya preritā bhavituṁ
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
sarvvaprakāravyādhīnāṁ śamanakaraṇāya prabhāvaṁ prāptuṁ bhūtān tyājayituñca niyuktavān|
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
teṣāṁ nāmānīmāni, śimon sivadiputro
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
yākūb tasya bhrātā yohan ca āndriyaḥ philipo barthalamayaḥ,
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
mathī thomā ca ālphīyaputro yākūb thaddīyaḥ kinānīyaḥ śimon yastaṁ parahasteṣvarpayiṣyati sa īṣkariyotīyayihūdāśca|
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
sa śimone pitara ityupanāma dadau yākūbyohanbhyāṁ ca binerigiś arthato meghanādaputrāvityupanāma dadau|
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
anantaraṁ te niveśanaṁ gatāḥ, kintu tatrāpi punarmahān janasamāgamo 'bhavat tasmātte bhoktumapyavakāśaṁ na prāptāḥ|
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
tatastasya suhṛllokā imāṁ vārttāṁ prāpya sa hatajñānobhūd iti kathāṁ kathayitvā taṁ dhṛtvānetuṁ gatāḥ|
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
aparañca yirūśālama āgatā ye ye'dhyāpakāste jagadurayaṁ puruṣo bhūtapatyābiṣṭastena bhūtapatinā bhūtān tyājayati|
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
tatastānāhūya yīśu rdṛṣṭāntaiḥ kathāṁ kathitavān śaitān kathaṁ śaitānaṁ tyājayituṁ śaknoti?
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
kiñcana rājyaṁ yadi svavirodhena pṛthag bhavati tarhi tad rājyaṁ sthiraṁ sthātuṁ na śaknoti|
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
tathā kasyāpi parivāro yadi parasparaṁ virodhī bhavati tarhi sopi parivāraḥ sthiraṁ sthātuṁ na śaknoti|
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
tadvat śaitān yadi svavipakṣatayā uttiṣṭhan bhinno bhavati tarhi sopi sthiraṁ sthātuṁ na śaknoti kintūcchinno bhavati|
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
aparañca prabalaṁ janaṁ prathamaṁ na baddhā kopi tasya gṛhaṁ praviśya dravyāṇi luṇṭhayituṁ na śaknoti, taṁ badvvaiva tasya gṛhasya dravyāṇi luṇṭhayituṁ śaknoti|
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
atoheto ryuṣmabhyamahaṁ satyaṁ kathayāmi manuṣyāṇāṁ santānā yāni yāni pāpānīśvaranindāñca kurvvanti teṣāṁ tatsarvveṣāmaparādhānāṁ kṣamā bhavituṁ śaknoti,
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
tasyāpavitrabhūto'sti teṣāmetatkathāhetoḥ sa itthaṁ kathitavān|
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
atha tasya mātā bhrātṛgaṇaścāgatya bahistiṣṭhanato lokān preṣya tamāhūtavantaḥ|
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
tatastatsannidhau samupaviṣṭā lokāstaṁ babhāṣire paśya bahistava mātā bhrātaraśca tvām anvicchanti|
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
tadā sa tān pratyuvāca mama mātā kā bhrātaro vā ke? tataḥ paraṁ sa svamīpopaviṣṭān śiṣyān prati avalokanaṁ kṛtvā kathayāmāsa
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
paśyataite mama mātā bhrātaraśca|
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
yaḥ kaścid īśvarasyeṣṭāṁ kriyāṁ karoti sa eva mama bhrātā bhaginī mātā ca|
