mathiḥ 22
1 anantaraṁ yīśuḥ punarapi dṛṣṭāntena tān avādīt,
And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,
2 svargīyarājyam etādṛśasya nṛpateḥ samaṁ, yo nija putraṁ vivāhayan sarvvān nimantritān ānetuṁ dāseyān prahitavān,
The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,
3 kintu te samāgantuṁ neṣṭavantaḥ|
and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.
4 tato rājā punarapi dāsānanyān ityuktvā preṣayāmāsa, nimantritān vadata, paśyata, mama bhejyamāsāditamāste, nijavṭaṣādipuṣṭajantūn mārayitvā sarvvaṁ khādyadravyamāsāditavān, yūyaṁ vivāhamāgacchata|
Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.
5 tathapi te tucchīkṛtya kecit nijakṣetraṁ kecid vāṇijyaṁ prati svasvamārgeṇa calitavantaḥ|
But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.
6 anye lokāstasya dāseyān dhṛtvā daurātmyaṁ vyavahṛtya tānavadhiṣuḥ|
And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].
7 anantaraṁ sa nṛpatistāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā krudhyan sainyāni prahitya tān ghātakān hatvā teṣāṁ nagaraṁ dāhayāmāsa|
And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8 tataḥ sa nijadāseyān babhāṣe, vivāhīyaṁ bhojyamāsāditamāste, kintu nimantritā janā ayogyāḥ|
Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;
9 tasmād yūyaṁ rājamārgaṁ gatvā yāvato manujān paśyata, tāvataeva vivāhīyabhojyāya nimantrayata|
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.
10 tadā te dāseyā rājamārgaṁ gatvā bhadrān abhadrān vā yāvato janān dadṛśuḥ, tāvataeva saṁgṛhyānayan; tato'bhyāgatamanujai rvivāhagṛham apūryyata|
And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
11 tadānīṁ sa rājā sarvvānabhyāgatān draṣṭum abhyantaramāgatavān; tadā tatra vivāhīyavasanahīnamekaṁ janaṁ vīkṣya taṁ jagād,
And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.
12 he mitra, tvaṁ vivāhīyavasanaṁ vinā kathamatra praviṣṭavān? tena sa niruttaro babhūva|
And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
13 tadā rājā nijānucarān avadat, etasya karacaraṇān baddhā yatra rodanaṁ dantairdantagharṣaṇañca bhavati, tatra vahirbhūtatamisre taṁ nikṣipata|
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
14 itthaṁ bahava āhūtā alpe manobhimatāḥ|
For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.
15 anantaraṁ phirūśinaḥ pragatya yathā saṁlāpena tam unmāthe pātayeyustathā mantrayitvā
Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.
16 herodīyamanujaiḥ sākaṁ nijaśiṣyagaṇena taṁ prati kathayāmāsuḥ, he guro, bhavān satyaḥ satyamīśvarīyamārgamupadiśati, kamapi mānuṣaṁ nānurudhyate, kamapi nāpekṣate ca, tad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;
17 ataḥ kaisarabhūpāya karo'smākaṁ dātavyo na vā? atra bhavatā kiṁ budhyate? tad asmān vadatu|
tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 tato yīśusteṣāṁ khalatāṁ vijñāya kathitavān, re kapaṭinaḥ yuyaṁ kuto māṁ parikṣadhve?
But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?
19 tatkaradānasya mudrāṁ māṁ darśayata| tadānīṁ taistasya samīpaṁ mudrācaturthabhāga ānīte
Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.
20 sa tān papraccha, atra kasyeyaṁ mūrtti rnāma cāste? te jagaduḥ, kaisarabhūpasya|
And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
21 tataḥ sa uktavāna, kaisarasya yat tat kaisarāya datta, īśvarasya yat tad īśvarāya datta|
They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
22 iti vākyaṁ niśamya te vismayaṁ vijñāya taṁ vihāya calitavantaḥ|
And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.
23 tasminnahani sidūkino'rthāt śmaśānāt notthāsyantīti vākyaṁ ye vadanti, te yīśerantikam āgatya papracchuḥ,
On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,
24 he guro, kaścinmanujaścet niḥsantānaḥ san prāṇān tyajati, tarhi tasya bhrātā tasya jāyāṁ vyuhya bhrātuḥ santānam utpādayiṣyatīti mūsā ādiṣṭavān|
saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.
25 kintvasmākamatra ke'pi janāḥ saptasahodarā āsan, teṣāṁ jyeṣṭha ekāṁ kanyāṁ vyavahāt, aparaṁ prāṇatyāgakāle svayaṁ niḥsantānaḥ san tāṁ striyaṁ svabhrātari samarpitavān,
Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.
26 tato dvitīyādisaptamāntāśca tathaiva cakruḥ|
In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.
27 śeṣe sāpī nārī mamāra|
And last of all the woman also died.
28 mṛtānām utthānasamaye teṣāṁ saptānāṁ madhye sā nārī kasya bhāryyā bhaviṣyati? yasmāt sarvvaeva tāṁ vyavahan|
In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?
29 tato yīśuḥ pratyavādīt, yūyaṁ dharmmapustakam īśvarīyāṁ śaktiñca na vijñāya bhrāntimantaḥ|
And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.
30 utthānaprāptā lokā na vivahanti, na ca vācā dīyante, kintvīśvarasya svargasthadūtānāṁ sadṛśā bhavanti|
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.
31 aparaṁ mṛtānāmutthānamadhi yuṣmān pratīyamīśvaroktiḥ,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 "ahamibrāhīma īśvara ishāka īśvaro yākūba īśvara" iti kiṁ yuṣmābhi rnāpāṭhi? kintvīśvaro jīvatām īśvara:, sa mṛtānāmīśvaro nahi|
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.
33 iti śrutvā sarvve lokāstasyopadeśād vismayaṁ gatāḥ|
And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 anantaraṁ sidūkinām niruttaratvavārtāṁ niśamya phirūśina ekatra militavantaḥ,
But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.
35 teṣāmeko vyavasthāpako yīśuṁ parīkṣituṁ papaccha,
And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,
36 he guro vyavasthāśāstramadhye kājñā śreṣṭhā?
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 tato yīśuruvāca, tvaṁ sarvvāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ sarvvaprāṇaiḥ sarvvacittaiśca sākaṁ prabhau parameśvare prīyasva,
And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.
38 eṣā prathamamahājñā| tasyāḥ sadṛśī dvitīyājñaiṣā,
This is [the] great and first commandment.
39 tava samīpavāsini svātmanīva prema kuru|
And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 anayo rdvayorājñayoḥ kṛtsnavyavasthāyā bhaviṣyadvaktṛgranthasya ca bhārastiṣṭhati|
On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.
41 anantaraṁ phirūśinām ekatra sthitikāle yīśustān papraccha,
And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,
42 khrīṣṭamadhi yuṣmākaṁ kīdṛgbodho jāyate? sa kasya santānaḥ? tataste pratyavadan, dāyūdaḥ santānaḥ|
saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.
43 tadā sa uktavān, tarhi dāyūd katham ātmādhiṣṭhānena taṁ prabhuṁ vadati?
He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 yathā mama prabhumidaṁ vākyamavadat parameśvaraḥ| tavārīn pādapīṭhaṁ te yāvannahi karomyahaṁ| tāvat kālaṁ madīye tvaṁ dakṣapārśva upāviśa| ato yadi dāyūd taṁ prabhuṁ vadati, rtiha sa kathaṁ tasya santāno bhavati?
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?
45 tadānīṁ teṣāṁ kopi tadvākyasya kimapyuttaraṁ dātuṁ nāśaknot;
If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 taddinamārabhya taṁ kimapi vākyaṁ praṣṭuṁ kasyāpi sāhaso nābhavat|
And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
