Luke 17
1 Then He said to the disciples: “Things that cause people to fall are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come!
itaḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyān uvāca, vighnairavaśyam āgantavyaṁ kintu vighnā yena ghaṭiṣyante tasya durgati rbhaviṣyati|
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall.
eteṣāṁ kṣudraprāṇinām ekasyāpi vighnajananāt kaṇṭhabaddhapeṣaṇīkasya tasya sāgarāgādhajale majjanaṁ bhadraṁ|
3 Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
yūyaṁ sveṣu sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata; tava bhrātā yadi tava kiñcid aparādhyati tarhi taṁ tarjaya, tena yadi manaḥ parivarttayati tarhi taṁ kṣamasva|
4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in that day returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”
punarekadinamadhye yadi sa tava saptakṛtvo'parādhyati kintu saptakṛtva āgatya manaḥ parivartya mayāparāddham iti vadati tarhi taṁ kṣamasva|
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
tadā preritāḥ prabhum avadan asmākaṁ viśvāsaṁ varddhaya|
6 So the Lord said: “If you had faith like a mustard seed has, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
prabhuruvāca, yadi yuṣmākaṁ sarṣapaikapramāṇo viśvāsosti tarhi tvaṁ samūlamutpāṭito bhūtvā samudre ropito bhava kathāyām etasyām etaduḍumbarāya kathitāyāṁ sa yuṣmākamājñāvaho bhaviṣyati|
7 “And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?
aparaṁ svadāse halaṁ vāhayitvā vā paśūn cārayitvā kṣetrād āgate sati taṁ vadati, ehi bhoktumupaviśa, yuṣmākam etādṛśaḥ kosti?
8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
varañca pūrvvaṁ mama khādyamāsādya yāvad bhuñje pivāmi ca tāvad baddhakaṭiḥ paricara paścāt tvamapi bhokṣyase pāsyasi ca kathāmīdṛśīṁ kiṁ na vakṣyati?
9 Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!
tena dāsena prabhorājñānurūpe karmmaṇi kṛte prabhuḥ kiṁ tasmin bādhito jātaḥ? netthaṁ budhyate mayā|
10 So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’”
itthaṁ nirūpiteṣu sarvvakarmmasu kṛteṣu satmu yūyamapīdaṁ vākyaṁ vadatha, vayam anupakāriṇo dāsā asmābhiryadyatkarttavyaṁ tanmātrameva kṛtaṁ|
11 Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.
sa yirūśālami yātrāṁ kurvvan śomiroṇgālīlpradeśamadhyena gacchati,
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.
etarhi kutracid grāme praveśamātre daśakuṣṭhinastaṁ sākṣāt kṛtvā
13 They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
dūre tiṣṭhanata uccai rvaktumārebhire, he prabho yīśo dayasvāsmān|
14 And paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went they were cleansed!
tataḥ sa tān dṛṣṭvā jagāda, yūyaṁ yājakānāṁ samīpe svān darśayata, tataste gacchanto rogāt pariṣkṛtāḥ|
15 Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;
tadā teṣāmekaḥ svaṁ svasthaṁ dṛṣṭvā proccairīśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan vyāghuṭyāyāto yīśo rguṇānanuvadan taccaraṇādhobhūmau papāta;
16 then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!
sa cāsīt śomiroṇī|
17 So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?
tadā yīśuravadat, daśajanāḥ kiṁ na pariṣkṛtāḥ? tahyanye navajanāḥ kutra?
18 None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”
īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadantam enaṁ videśinaṁ vinā kopyanyo na prāpyata|
19 Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
tadā sa tamuvāca, tvamutthāya yāhi viśvāsaste tvāṁ svasthaṁ kṛtavān|
20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said: “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
atha kadeśvarasya rājatvaṁ bhaviṣyatīti phirūśibhiḥ pṛṣṭe sa pratyuvāca, īśvarasya rājatvam aiśvaryyadarśanena na bhaviṣyati|
21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.”
ata etasmin paśya tasmin vā paśya, iti vākyaṁ lokā vaktuṁ na śakṣyanti, īśvarasya rājatvaṁ yuṣmākam antarevāste|
22 Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of the Man, and you will not see it.
tataḥ sa śiṣyān jagāda, yadā yuṣmābhi rmanujasutasya dinamekaṁ draṣṭum vāñchiṣyate kintu na darśiṣyate, īdṛkkāla āyāti|
23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.
tadātra paśya vā tatra paśyeti vākyaṁ lokā vakṣyanti, kintu teṣāṁ paścāt mā yāta, mānugacchata ca|
24 Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of the Man be in His day.
yatastaḍid yathākāśaikadiśyudiya tadanyāmapi diśaṁ vyāpya prakāśate tadvat nijadine manujasūnuḥ prakāśiṣyate|
25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
kintu tatpūrvvaṁ tenānekāni duḥkhāni bhoktavyānyetadvarttamānalokaiśca so'vajñātavyaḥ|
26 Also, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of the Man.
nohasya vidyamānakāle yathābhavat manuṣyasūnoḥ kālepi tathā bhaviṣyati|
27 They were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
yāvatkālaṁ noho mahāpotaṁ nārohad āplāvivāryyetya sarvvaṁ nānāśayacca tāvatkālaṁ yathā lokā abhuñjatāpivan vyavahan vyavāhayaṁśca;
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—
itthaṁ loṭo varttamānakālepi yathā lokā bhojanapānakrayavikrayaropaṇagṛhanirmmāṇakarmmasu prāvarttanta,
29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
kintu yadā loṭ sidomo nirjagāma tadā nabhasaḥ sagandhakāgnivṛṣṭi rbhūtvā sarvvaṁ vyanāśayat
30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.
tadvan mānavaputraprakāśadinepi bhaviṣyati|
31 “In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to get them; and likewise he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
tadā yadi kaścid gṛhopari tiṣṭhati tarhi sa gṛhamadhyāt kimapi dravyamānetum avaruhya naitu; yaśca kṣetre tiṣṭhati sopi vyāghuṭya nāyātu|
32 Remember Lot's wife!
loṭaḥ patnīṁ smarata|
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.
yaḥ prāṇān rakṣituṁ ceṣṭiṣyate sa prāṇān hārayiṣyati yastu prāṇān hārayiṣyati saeva prāṇān rakṣiṣyati|
34 I tell you: on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
yuṣmānahaṁ vacmi tasyāṁ rātrau śayyaikagatayo rlokayoreko dhāriṣyate parastyakṣyate|
35 Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”
striyau yugapat peṣaṇīṁ vyāvarttayiṣyatastayorekā dhāriṣyate parātyakṣyate|
puruṣau kṣetre sthāsyatastayoreko dhāriṣyate parastyakṣyate|
37 They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”
tadā te papracchuḥ, he prabho kutretthaṁ bhaviṣyati? tataḥ sa uvāca, yatra śavastiṣṭhati tatra gṛdhrā milanti|
