Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ pratārakeṇa parīkṣito bhavitum ātmanā prāntaram ākṛṣṭaḥ
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
san catvāriṁśadahorātrān anāhārastiṣṭhan kṣudhito babhūva|
3 [Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
tadānīṁ parīkṣitā tatsamīpam āgatya vyāhṛtavān, yadi tvamīśvarātmajo bhavestarhyājñayā pāṣāṇānetān pūpān vidhehi|
4 But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
tataḥ sa pratyabravīt, itthaṁ likhitamāste, "manujaḥ kevalapūpena na jīviṣyati, kintvīśvarasya vadanād yāni yāni vacāṁsi niḥsaranti taireva jīviṣyati|"
5 Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
tadā pratārakastaṁ puṇyanagaraṁ nītvā mandirasya cūḍopari nidhāya gaditavān,
6 and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
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||
7 But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
tadānīṁ yīśustasmai kathitavān etadapi likhitamāste, "tvaṁ nijaprabhuṁ parameśvaraṁ mā parīkṣasva|"
8 Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
anantaraṁ pratārakaḥ punarapi tam atyuñcadharādharopari nītvā jagataḥ sakalarājyāni tadaiśvaryyāṇi ca darśayāścakāra kathayāñcakāra ca,
9 And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
yadi tvaṁ daṇḍavad bhavan māṁ praṇamestarhyaham etāni tubhyaṁ pradāsyāmi|
10 But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
tadānīṁ yīśustamavocat, dūrībhava pratāraka, likhitamidam āste, "tvayā nijaḥ prabhuḥ parameśvaraḥ praṇamyaḥ kevalaḥ sa sevyaśca|"
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
tataḥ pratārakeṇa sa paryyatyāji, tadā svargīyadūtairāgatya sa siṣeve|
12 [While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
tadanantaraṁ yohan kārāyāṁ babandhe, tadvārttāṁ niśamya yīśunā gālīl prāsthīyata|
13 Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
tataḥ paraṁ sa nāsarannagaraṁ vihāya jalaghestaṭe sibūlūnnaptālī etayoruvabhayoḥ pradeśayoḥ sīmnormadhyavarttī ya: kapharnāhūm tannagaram itvā nyavasat|
14 [One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
tasmāt, anyādeśīyagālīli yarddanpāre'bdhirodhasi| naptālisibūlūndeśau yatra sthāne sthitau purā|
15 “Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
tatratyā manujā ye ye paryyabhrāmyan tamisrake| tairjanairbṛhadālokaḥ paridarśiṣyate tadā| avasan ye janā deśe mṛtyucchāyāsvarūpake| teṣāmupari lokānāmālokaḥ saṁprakāśitaḥ||
16 [Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
yadetadvacanaṁ yiśayiyabhaviṣyadvādinā proktaṁ, tat tadā saphalam abhūt|
17 From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
anantaraṁ yīśuḥ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan etāṁ kathāṁ kathayitum ārebhe, manāṁsi parāvarttayata, svargīyarājatvaṁ savidhamabhavat|
18 [One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
tataḥ paraṁ yīśu rgālīlo jaladhestaṭena gacchan gacchan āndriyastasya bhrātā śimon arthato yaṁ pitaraṁ vadanti etāvubhau jalaghau jālaṁ kṣipantau dadarśa, yatastau mīnadhāriṇāvāstām|
19 He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
tadā sa tāvāhūya vyājahāra, yuvāṁ mama paścād āgacchataṁ, yuvāmahaṁ manujadhāriṇau kariṣyāmi|
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
tenaiva tau jālaṁ vihāya tasya paścāt āgacchatām|
21 As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
anantaraṁ tasmāt sthānāt vrajan vrajan sivadiyasya sutau yākūb yohannāmānau dvau sahajau tātena sārddhaṁ naukopari jālasya jīrṇoddhāraṁ kurvvantau vīkṣya tāvāhūtavān|
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
tatkṣaṇāt tau nāvaṁ svatātañca vihāya tasya paścādgāminau babhūvatuḥ|
23 Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
anantaraṁ bhajanabhavane samupadiśan rājyasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan manujānāṁ sarvvaprakārān rogān sarvvaprakārapīḍāśca śamayan yīśuḥ kṛtsnaṁ gālīldeśaṁ bhramitum ārabhata|
24 When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
tena kṛtsnasuriyādeśasya madhyaṁ tasya yaśo vyāpnot, aparaṁ bhūtagrastā apasmārargīṇaḥ pakṣādhātiprabhṛtayaśca yāvanto manujā nānāvidhavyādhibhiḥ kliṣṭā āsan, teṣu sarvveṣu tasya samīpam ānīteṣu sa tān svasthān cakāra|
25 Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
etena gālīl-dikāpani-yirūśālam-yihūdīyadeśebhyo yarddanaḥ pārāñca bahavo manujāstasya paścād āgacchan|
