Luke 11
1 One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
anantaraṁ sa kasmiṁścit sthānē prārthayata tatsamāptau satyāṁ tasyaikaḥ śiṣyastaṁ jagāda hē prabhō yōhan yathā svaśiṣyān prārthayitum upadiṣṭavān tathā bhavānapyasmān upadiśatu|
2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
tasmāt sa kathayāmāsa, prārthanakālē yūyam itthaṁ kathayadhvaṁ, hē asmākaṁ svargasthapitastava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu; tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; svargē yathā tathā pr̥thivyāmapi tavēcchayā sarvvaṁ bhavatu|
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
pratyaham asmākaṁ prayōjanīyaṁ bhōjyaṁ dēhi|
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
yathā vayaṁ sarvvān aparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahē tathā tvamapi pāpānyasmākaṁ kṣamasva| asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya kintu pāpātmanō rakṣa|
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
paścāt sōparamapi kathitavān yadi yuṣmākaṁ kasyacid bandhustiṣṭhati niśīthē ca tasya samīpaṁ sa gatvā vadati,
6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
hē bandhō pathika ēkō bandhu rmama nivēśanam āyātaḥ kintu tasyātithyaṁ karttuṁ mamāntikē kimapi nāsti, ataēva pūpatrayaṁ mahyam r̥ṇaṁ dēhi;
7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’
tadā sa yadi gr̥hamadhyāt prativadati māṁ mā kliśāna, idānīṁ dvāraṁ ruddhaṁ śayanē mayā saha bālakāśca tiṣṭhanti tubhyaṁ dātum utthātuṁ na śaknōmi,
8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
tarhi yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, sa yadi mitratayā tasmai kimapi dātuṁ nōttiṣṭhati tathāpi vāraṁ vāraṁ prārthanāta utthāpitaḥ san yasmin tasya prayōjanaṁ tadēva dāsyati|
9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
ataḥ kāraṇāt kathayāmi, yācadhvaṁ tatō yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyatē, mr̥gayadhvaṁ tata uddēśaṁ prāpsyatha, dvāram āhata tatō yuṣmabhyaṁ dvāraṁ mōkṣyatē|
10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
yō yācatē sa prāpnōti, yō mr̥gayatē sa ēvōddēśaṁ prāpnōti, yō dvāram āhanti tadarthaṁ dvāraṁ mōcyatē|
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
putrēṇa pūpē yācitē tasmai pāṣāṇaṁ dadāti vā matsyē yācitē tasmai sarpaṁ dadāti
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
vā aṇḍē yācitē tasmai vr̥ścikaṁ dadāti yuṣmākaṁ madhyē ka ētādr̥śaḥ pitāstē?
13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
tasmādēva yūyamabhadrā api yadi svasvabālakēbhya uttamāni dravyāṇi dātuṁ jānītha tarhyasmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā nijayācakēbhyaḥ kiṁ pavitram ātmānaṁ na dāsyati?
14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,
anantaraṁ yīśunā kasmāccid ēkasmin mūkabhūtē tyājitē sati sa bhūtatyaktō mānuṣō vākyaṁ vaktum ārēbhē; tatō lōkāḥ sakalā āścaryyaṁ mēnirē|
15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”
kintu tēṣāṁ kēcidūcu rjanōyaṁ bālasibūbā arthād bhūtarājēna bhūtān tyājayati|
16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.
taṁ parīkṣituṁ kēcid ākāśīyam ēkaṁ cihnaṁ darśayituṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrirē|
17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.
tadā sa tēṣāṁ manaḥkalpanāṁ jñātvā kathayāmāsa, kasyacid rājyasya lōkā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tad rājyam naśyati; kēcid gr̥hasthā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tēpi naśyanti|
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
tathaiva śaitānapi svalōkān yadi viruṇaddhi tadā tasya rājyaṁ kathaṁ sthāsyati? bālasibūbāhaṁ bhūtān tyājayāmi yūyamiti vadatha|
19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
yadyahaṁ bālasibūbā bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ santānāḥ kēna tyājayanti? tasmāt taēva kathāyā ētasyā vicārayitārō bhaviṣyanti|
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
kintu yadyaham īśvarasya parākramēṇa bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭam īśvarasya rājyamavaśyam upatiṣṭhati|
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.
balavān pumān susajjamānō yatikālaṁ nijāṭṭālikāṁ rakṣati tatikālaṁ tasya dravyaṁ nirupadravaṁ tiṣṭhati|
22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.
kintu tasmād adhikabalaḥ kaścidāgatya yadi taṁ jayati tarhi yēṣu śastrāstrēṣu tasya viśvāsa āsīt tāni sarvvāṇi hr̥tvā tasya dravyāṇi gr̥hlāti|
23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
ataḥ kāraṇād yō mama sapakṣō na sa vipakṣaḥ, yō mayā saha na saṁgr̥hlāti sa vikirati|
24 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
aparañca amēdhyabhūtō mānuṣasyāntarnirgatya śuṣkasthānē bhrāntvā viśrāmaṁ mr̥gayatē kintu na prāpya vadati mama yasmād gr̥hād āgatōhaṁ punastad gr̥haṁ parāvr̥tya yāmi|
25 On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
tatō gatvā tad gr̥haṁ mārjitaṁ śōbhitañca dr̥ṣṭvā
26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”
tatkṣaṇam apagatya svasmādapi durmmatīn aparān saptabhūtān sahānayati tē ca tadgr̥haṁ paviśya nivasanti| tasmāt tasya manuṣyasya prathamadaśātaḥ śēṣadaśā duḥkhatarā bhavati|
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”
asyāḥ kathāyāḥ kathanakālē janatāmadhyasthā kācinnārī tamuccaiḥsvaraṁ prōvāca, yā yōṣit tvāṁ garbbhē'dhārayat stanyamapāyayacca saiva dhanyā|
28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
kintu sōkathayat yē paramēśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpam ācaranti taēva dhanyāḥ|
29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
tataḥ paraṁ tasyāntikē bahulōkānāṁ samāgamē jātē sa vaktumārēbhē, ādhunikā duṣṭalōkāścihnaṁ draṣṭumicchanti kintu yūnasbhaviṣyadvādinaścihnaṁ vinānyat kiñciccihnaṁ tān na darśayiṣyatē|
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
yūnas tu yathā nīnivīyalōkānāṁ samīpē cihnarūpōbhavat tathā vidyamānalōkānām ēṣāṁ samīpē manuṣyaputrōpi cihnarūpō bhaviṣyati|
31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.
vicārasamayē idānīntanalōkānāṁ prātikūlyēna dakṣiṇadēśīyā rājñī prōtthāya tān dōṣiṇaḥ kariṣyati, yataḥ sā rājñī sulēmāna upadēśakathāṁ śrōtuṁ pr̥thivyāḥ sīmāta āgacchat kintu paśyata sulēmānōpi gurutara ēkō janō'smin sthānē vidyatē|
32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
aparañca vicārasamayē nīnivīyalōkā api varttamānakālikānāṁ lōkānāṁ vaiparītyēna prōtthāya tān dōṣiṇaḥ kariṣyanti, yatō hētōstē yūnasō vākyāt cittāni parivarttayāmāsuḥ kintu paśyata yūnasōtigurutara ēkō janō'smin sthānē vidyatē|
33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
pradīpaṁ prajvālya drōṇasyādhaḥ kutrāpi guptasthānē vā kōpi na sthāpayati kintu gr̥hapravēśibhyō dīptiṁ dātaṁ dīpādhārōparyyēva sthāpayati|
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.
dēhasya pradīpaścakṣustasmādēva cakṣu ryadi prasannaṁ bhavati tarhi tava sarvvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati kintu cakṣu ryadi malīmasaṁ tiṣṭhati tarhi sarvvaśarīraṁ sāndhakāraṁ sthāsyati|
35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
asmāt kāraṇāt tavāntaḥsthaṁ jyōti ryathāndhakāramayaṁ na bhavati tadarthē sāvadhānō bhava|
36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”
yataḥ śarīrasya kutrāpyaṁśē sāndhakārē na jātē sarvvaṁ yadi dīptimat tiṣṭhati tarhi tubhyaṁ dīptidāyiprōjjvalan pradīpa iva tava savarvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati|
37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.
ētatkathāyāḥ kathanakālē phiruśyēkō bhējanāya taṁ nimantrayāmāsa, tataḥ sa gatvā bhōktum upavivēśa|
38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
kintu bhōjanāt pūrvvaṁ nāmāṅkṣīt ētad dr̥ṣṭvā sa phiruśyāścaryyaṁ mēnē|
39 “Now then,” said the Lord, “you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
tadā prabhustaṁ prōvāca yūyaṁ phirūśilōkāḥ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhōjanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha kintu yuṣmākamanta rdaurātmyai rduṣkriyābhiśca paripūrṇaṁ tiṣṭhati|
40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?
hē sarvvē nirbōdhā yō bahiḥ sasarja sa ēva kimanta rna sasarja?
41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
tata ēva yuṣmābhirantaḥkaraṇaṁ (īśvarāya) nivēdyatāṁ tasmin kr̥tē yuṣmākaṁ sarvvāṇi śucitāṁ yāsyanti|
42 Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
kintu hanta phirūśigaṇā yūyaṁ nyāyam īśvarē prēma ca parityajya pōdināyā arudādīnāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ śākānāñca daśamāṁśān dattha kintu prathamaṁ pālayitvā śēṣasyālaṅghanaṁ yuṣmākam ucitamāsīt|
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
hā hā phirūśinō yūyaṁ bhajanagēhē prōccāsanē āpaṇēṣu ca namaskārēṣu prīyadhvē|
44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
vata kapaṭinō'dhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca lōkāyat śmaśānam anupalabhya tadupari gacchanti yūyam tādr̥gaprakāśitaśmaśānavād bhavatha|
45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
tadānīṁ vyavasthāpakānām ēkā yīśumavadat, hē upadēśaka vākyēnēdr̥śēnāsmāsvapi dōṣam ārōpayasi|
46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
tataḥ sa uvāca, hā hā vyavasthāpakā yūyam mānuṣāṇām upari duḥsahyān bhārān nyasyatha kintu svayam ēkāṅgulyāpi tān bhārān na spr̥śatha|
47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
hanta yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā yān bhaviṣyadvādinō'vadhiṣustēṣāṁ śmaśānāni yūyaṁ nirmmātha|
48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
tēnaiva yūyaṁ svapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ karmmāṇi saṁmanyadhvē tadēva sapramāṇaṁ kurutha ca, yatastē tānavadhiṣuḥ yūyaṁ tēṣāṁ śmaśānāni nirmmātha|
49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
ataēva īśvarasya śāstrē prōktamasti tēṣāmantikē bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ prēritāṁśca prēṣayiṣyāmi tatastē tēṣāṁ kāṁścana haniṣyanti kāṁścana tāḍaśṣyinti|
50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,
ētasmāt kāraṇāt hābilaḥ śōṇitapātamārabhya mandirayajñavēdyō rmadhyē hatasya sikhariyasya raktapātaparyyantaṁ
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭimārabhya pr̥thivyāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ yatiraktapātā jātāstatīnām aparādhadaṇḍā ēṣāṁ varttamānalōkānāṁ bhaviṣyanti, yuṣmānahaṁ niścitaṁ vadāmi sarvvē daṇḍā vaṁśasyāsya bhaviṣyanti|
52 Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
hā hā vyavasthapakā yūyaṁ jñānasya kuñcikāṁ hr̥tvā svayaṁ na praviṣṭā yē pravēṣṭuñca prayāsinastānapi pravēṣṭuṁ vāritavantaḥ|
53 As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,
itthaṁ kathākathanād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca satarkāḥ
54 waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
santastamapavadituṁ tasya kathāyā dōṣaṁ dharttamicchantō nānākhyānakathanāya taṁ pravarttayituṁ kōpayituñca prārēbhirē|
