Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
aparañca lokairaklāntai rnirantaraṁ prārthayitavyam ityāśayena yīśunā dṛṣṭānta ekaḥ kathitaḥ|
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
kutracinnagare kaścit prāḍvivāka āsīt sa īśvarānnābibhet mānuṣāṁśca nāmanyata|
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
atha tatpuravāsinī kācidvidhavā tatsamīpametya vivādinā saha mama vivādaṁ pariṣkurvviti nivedayāmāsa|
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
tataḥ sa prāḍvivākaḥ kiyaddināni na tadaṅgīkṛtavān paścāccitte cintayāmāsa, yadyapīśvarānna bibhemi manuṣyānapi na manye
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
tathāpyeṣā vidhavā māṁ kliśnāti tasmādasyā vivādaṁ pariṣkariṣyāmi nocet sā sadāgatya māṁ vyagraṁ kariṣyati|
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
paścāt prabhuravadad asāvanyāyaprāḍvivāko yadāha tatra mano nidhadhvaṁ|
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
īśvarasya ye 'bhirucitalokā divāniśaṁ prārthayante sa bahudināni vilambyāpi teṣāṁ vivādān kiṁ na pariṣkariṣyati?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi tvarayā pariṣkariṣyati, kintu yadā manuṣyaputra āgamiṣyati tadā pṛthivyāṁ kimīdṛśaṁ viśvāsaṁ prāpsyati?
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
ye svān dhārmmikān jñātvā parān tucchīkurvvanti etādṛgbhyaḥ, kiyadbhya imaṁ dṛṣṭāntaṁ kathayāmāsa|
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
ekaḥ phirūśyaparaḥ karasañcāyī dvāvimau prārthayituṁ mandiraṁ gatau|
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
tato'sau phirūśyekapārśve tiṣṭhan he īśvara ahamanyalokavat loṭhayitānyāyī pāradārikaśca na bhavāmi asya karasañcāyinastulyaśca na, tasmāttvāṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
saptasu dineṣu dinadvayamupavasāmi sarvvasampatte rdaśamāṁśaṁ dadāmi ca, etatkathāṁ kathayan prārthayāmāsa|
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
kintu sa karasañcāyi dūre tiṣṭhan svargaṁ draṣṭuṁ necchan vakṣasi karāghātaṁ kurvvan he īśvara pāpiṣṭhaṁ māṁ dayasva, itthaṁ prārthayāmāsa|
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, tayordvayo rmadhye kevalaḥ karasañcāyī puṇyavattvena gaṇito nijagṛhaṁ jagāma, yato yaḥ kaścit svamunnamayati sa nāmayiṣyate kintu yaḥ kaścit svaṁ namayati sa unnamayiṣyate|
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
atha śiśūnāṁ gātrasparśārthaṁ lokāstān tasya samīpamāninyuḥ śiṣyāstad dṛṣṭvānetṛn tarjayāmāsuḥ,
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
kintu yīśustānāhūya jagāda, mannikaṭam āgantuṁ śiśūn anujānīdhvaṁ tāṁśca mā vārayata; yata īśvararājyādhikāriṇa eṣāṁ sadṛśāḥ|
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
ahaṁ yuṣmān yathārthaṁ vadāmi, yo janaḥ śiśoḥ sadṛśo bhūtvā īśvararājyaṁ na gṛhlāti sa kenāpi prakāreṇa tat praveṣṭuṁ na śaknoti|
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
aparam ekodhipatistaṁ papraccha, he paramaguro, anantāyuṣaḥ prāptaye mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
yīśuruvāca, māṁ kutaḥ paramaṁ vadasi? īśvaraṁ vinā kopi paramo na bhavati|
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
paradārān mā gaccha, naraṁ mā jahi, mā coraya, mithyāsākṣyaṁ mā dehi, mātaraṁ pitarañca saṁmanyasva, etā yā ājñāḥ santi tāstvaṁ jānāsi|
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
tadā sa uvāca, bālyakālāt sarvvā etā ācarāmi|
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
iti kathāṁ śrutvā yīśustamavadat, tathāpi tavaikaṁ karmma nyūnamāste, nijaṁ sarvvasvaṁ vikrīya daridrebhyo vitara, tasmāt svarge dhanaṁ prāpsyasi; tata āgatya mamānugāmī bhava|
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
kintvetāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā sodhipatiḥ śuśoca, yatastasya bahudhanamāsīt|
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
tadā yīśustamatiśokānvitaṁ dṛṣṭvā jagāda, dhanavatām īśvararājyapraveśaḥ kīdṛg duṣkaraḥ|
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
īśvararājye dhaninaḥ praveśāt sūceśchidreṇa mahāṅgasya gamanāgamane sukare|
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
śrotāraḥ papracchustarhi kena paritrāṇaṁ prāpsyate?
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
sa uktavān, yan mānuṣeṇāśakyaṁ tad īśvareṇa śakyaṁ|
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
tadā pitara uvāca, paśya vayaṁ sarvvasvaṁ parityajya tava paścādgāmino'bhavāma|
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
tataḥ sa uvāca, yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, īśvararājyārthaṁ gṛhaṁ pitarau bhrātṛgaṇaṁ jāyāṁ santānāṁśca tyaktavā
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
anantaraṁ sa dvādaśaśiṣyānāhūya babhāṣe, paśyata vayaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ yāmaḥ, tasmāt manuṣyaputre bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktaṁ yadasti tadanurūpaṁ taṁ prati ghaṭiṣyate;
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
vastutastu so'nyadeśīyānāṁ hasteṣu samarpayiṣyate, te tamupahasiṣyanti, anyāyamācariṣyanti tadvapuṣi niṣṭhīvaṁ nikṣepsyanti, kaśābhiḥ prahṛtya taṁ haniṣyanti ca,
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
kintu tṛtīyadine sa śmaśānād utthāsyati|
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
etasyāḥ kathāyā abhiprāyaṁ kiñcidapi te boddhuṁ na śekuḥ teṣāṁ nikaṭe'spaṣṭatavāt tasyaitāsāṁ kathānām āśayaṁ te jñātuṁ na śekuśca|
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
atha tasmin yirīhoḥ purasyāntikaṁ prāpte kaścidandhaḥ pathaḥ pārśva upaviśya bhikṣām akarot
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
sa lokasamūhasya gamanaśabdaṁ śrutvā tatkāraṇaṁ pṛṣṭavān|
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
nāsaratīyayīśuryātīti lokairukte sa uccairvaktumārebhe,
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
he dāyūdaḥ santāna yīśo māṁ dayasva|
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
tatogragāminastaṁ maunī tiṣṭheti tarjayāmāsuḥ kintu sa punāruvan uvāca, he dāyūdaḥ santāna māṁ dayasva|
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
tadā yīśuḥ sthagito bhūtvā svāntike tamānetum ādideśa|
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
tataḥ sa tasyāntikam āgamat, tadā sa taṁ papraccha, tvaṁ kimicchasi? tvadarthamahaṁ kiṁ kariṣyāmi? sa uktavān, he prabho'haṁ draṣṭuṁ labhai|
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
tadā yīśuruvāca, dṛṣṭiśaktiṁ gṛhāṇa tava pratyayastvāṁ svasthaṁ kṛtavān|
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
tatastatkṣaṇāt tasya cakṣuṣī prasanne; tasmāt sa īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan tatpaścād yayau, tadālokya sarvve lokā īśvaraṁ praśaṁsitum ārebhire|
