Luke 8
1 Now it happened after this that He started going around town by town, village by village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God, and the twelve were with Him;
aparañca yīśu rdvādaśabhiḥ śiṣyaiḥ sārddhaṁ nānānagareṣu nānāgrāmeṣu ca gacchan iśvarīyarājatvasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ prārebhe|
2 also certain women who had been healed of malignant spirits and infirmities: Mary (the one called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had gone out;
tadā yasyāḥ sapta bhūtā niragacchan sā magdalīnīti vikhyātā mariyam herodrājasya gṛhādhipateḥ hoṣe rbhāryyā yohanā śūśānā
3 and Joanna the wife of Chuza, an official of Herod; and Susanna, and many others—these were providing for Him from their substance.
prabhṛtayo yā bahvyaḥ striyaḥ duṣṭabhūtebhyo rogebhyaśca muktāḥ satyo nijavibhūtī rvyayitvā tamasevanta, tāḥ sarvvāstena sārddham āsan|
4 Now when a large crowd had gathered, with people coming to Him from town after town, He spoke by a parable:
anantaraṁ nānānagarebhyo bahavo lokā āgatya tasya samīpe'milan, tadā sa tebhya ekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāṁ kathayāmāsa| ekaḥ kṛṣībalo bījāni vaptuṁ bahirjagāma,
5 “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed some fell along the road, and it got trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
tato vapanakāle katipayāni bījāni mārgapārśve petuḥ, tatastāni padatalai rdalitāni pakṣibhi rbhakṣitāni ca|
6 And some fell on the rock ledge, and upon sprouting it withered, because it had no moisture.
katipayāni bījāni pāṣāṇasthale patitāni yadyapi tānyaṅkuritāni tathāpi rasābhāvāt śuśuṣuḥ|
7 And some fell among thorns, and springing up together the thorns choked it.
katipayāni bījāni kaṇṭakivanamadhye patitāni tataḥ kaṇṭakivanāni saṁvṛddhya tāni jagrasuḥ|
8 The rest fell into the good ground, and growing up it produced fruit a hundredfold.” Upon saying these things He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
tadanyāni katipayabījāni ca bhūmyāmuttamāyāṁ petustatastānyaṅkurayitvā śataguṇāni phalāni pheluḥ| sa imā kathāṁ kathayitvā proccaiḥ provāca, yasya śrotuṁ śrotre staḥ sa śṛṇotu|
9 Then His disciples asked Him saying, “What does this parable mean?”
tataḥ paraṁ śiṣyāstaṁ papracchurasya dṛṣṭāntasya kiṁ tātparyyaṁ?
10 So He said: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest only in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
tataḥ sa vyājahāra, īśvarīyarājyasya guhyāni jñātuṁ yuṣmabhyamadhikāro dīyate kintvanye yathā dṛṣṭvāpi na paśyanti śrutvāpi ma budhyante ca tadarthaṁ teṣāṁ purastāt tāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā dṛṣṭāntena kathyante|
11 “Now here is the parable: The seed is the Word of God.
dṛṣṭāntasyāsyābhiprāyaḥ, īśvarīyakathā bījasvarūpā|
12 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, in order that they not be saved, having believed.
ye kathāmātraṁ śṛṇvanti kintu paścād viśvasya yathā paritrāṇaṁ na prāpnuvanti tadāśayena śaitānetya hṛdayātṛ tāṁ kathām apaharati ta eva mārgapārśvasthabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
13 Those on the rock ledge are the ones who, whenever they hear, receive the word with joy; yet these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of testing fall away.
ye kathaṁ śrutvā sānandaṁ gṛhlanti kintvabaddhamūlatvāt svalpakālamātraṁ pratītya parīkṣākāle bhraśyanti taeva pāṣāṇabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
14 Now that which fell into the thorns: these are the ones who heard, yet as they go they are choked by cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
ye kathāṁ śrutvā yānti viṣayacintāyāṁ dhanalobhena ehikasukhe ca majjanta upayuktaphalāni na phalanti ta evoptabījakaṇṭakibhūsvarūpāḥ|
15 But that on the good ground: these are the ones who having heard the word with a noble and good heart, hold on to it and produce fruit with perseverance.”
kintu ye śrutvā saralaiḥ śuddhaiścāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ kathāṁ gṛhlanti dhairyyam avalambya phalānyutpādayanti ca ta evottamamṛtsvarūpāḥ|
16 Upon saying these things He called out: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear! No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but he sets it on a lamp stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
aparañca pradīpaṁ prajvālya kopi pātreṇa nācchādayati tathā khaṭvādhopi na sthāpayati, kintu dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayati, tasmāt praveśakā dīptiṁ paśyanti|
17 Further, there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything concealed that will not be made known and come into the open.
yanna prakāśayiṣyate tādṛg aprakāśitaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti yacca na suvyaktaṁ pracārayiṣyate tādṛg gṛptaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti|
18 So be careful how you hear: Because whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
ato yūyaṁ kena prakāreṇa śṛṇutha tatra sāvadhānā bhavata, yasya samīpe barddhate tasmai punardāsyate kintu yasyāśraye na barddhate tasya yadyadasti tadapi tasmāt neṣyate|
19 Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and they could not get near Him because of the crowd.
aparañca yīśo rmātā bhrātaraśca tasya samīpaṁ jigamiṣavaḥ
20 And it was told Him by some saying, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
kintu janatāsambādhāt tatsannidhiṁ prāptuṁ na śekuḥ| tatpaścāt tava mātā bhrātaraśca tvāṁ sākṣāt cikīrṣanto bahistiṣṭhanatīti vārttāyāṁ tasmai kathitāyāṁ
21 But in answer He said to them, “My mother and my brothers are these, the ones who hear the word of God and do it!”
sa pratyuvāca; ye janā īśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpamācaranti taeva mama mātā bhrātaraśca|
22 Now it happened on one of those days that He got into a boat with His disciples; and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
anantaraṁ ekadā yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sārddhaṁ nāvamāruhya jagāda, āyāta vayaṁ hradasya pāraṁ yāmaḥ, tataste jagmuḥ|
23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. A windstorm descended on the lake, and they were being swamped and were in jeopardy.
teṣu naukāṁ vāhayatsu sa nidadrau;
24 So they came and awakened Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He got up and rebuked the wind and the waves of water—and they stopped, and there was a calm!
athākasmāt prabalajhañbhśagamād hrade naukāyāṁ taraṅgairācchannāyāṁ vipat tān jagrāsa|tasmād yīśorantikaṁ gatvā he guro he guro prāṇā no yāntīti gaditvā taṁ jāgarayāmbabhūvuḥ|tadā sa utthāya vāyuṁ taraṅgāṁśca tarjayāmāsa tasmādubhau nivṛtya sthirau babhūvatuḥ|
25 So He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But being terrified they marveled, saying to each other: “Who can this be? Because He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
sa tān babhāṣe yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsaḥ ka? tasmātte bhītā vismitāśca parasparaṁ jagaduḥ, aho kīdṛgayaṁ manujaḥ pavanaṁ pānīyañcādiśati tadubhayaṁ tadādeśaṁ vahati|
26 Then they sailed to the district of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
tataḥ paraṁ gālīlpradeśasya sammukhasthagiderīyapradeśe naukāyāṁ lagantyāṁ taṭe'varohamāvād
27 Well when He stepped out on the land, a certain man of that town met Him, who had had demons for a long time—he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house, but among the tombs.
bahutithakālaṁ bhūtagrasta eko mānuṣaḥ purādāgatya taṁ sākṣāccakāra| sa manuṣo vāso na paridadhat gṛhe ca na vasan kevalaṁ śmaśānam adhyuvāsa|
28 When he saw Jesus he gave a yell, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torment me!”
sa yīśuṁ dṛṣṭvaiva cīcchabdaṁ cakāra tasya sammukhe patitvā proccairjagāda ca, he sarvvapradhāneśvarasya putra, mayā saha tava kaḥ sambandhaḥ? tvayi vinayaṁ karomi māṁ mā yātaya|
29 because He had commanded the unclean spirit to get out of the man (it had seized him many times—he would be bound with chains and shackles, being kept under guard; then bursting the bonds he would be driven by the demon into deserted places).
yataḥ sa taṁ mānuṣaṁ tyaktvā yātum amedhyabhūtam ādideśa; sa bhūtastaṁ mānuṣam asakṛd dadhāra tasmāllokāḥ śṛṅkhalena nigaḍena ca babandhuḥ; sa tad bhaṁktvā bhūtavaśatvāt madhyeprāntaraṁ yayau|
30 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion” (because many demons had gone into him).
anantaraṁ yīśustaṁ papraccha tava kinnāma? sa uvāca, mama nāma bāhino yato bahavo bhūtāstamāśiśriyuḥ|
atha bhūtā vinayena jagaduḥ, gabhīraṁ garttaṁ gantuṁ mājñāpayāsmān| (Abyssos g12)
32 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding there on the hillside; and they started begging Him that He would allow them to go into those; so He gave them permission.
tadā parvvatopari varāhavrajaścarati tasmād bhūtā vinayena procuḥ, amuṁ varāhavrajam āśrayitum asmān anujānīhi; tataḥ sonujajñau|
33 Then the demons exited the man and entered the pigs—and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned!
tataḥ paraṁ bhūtāstaṁ mānuṣaṁ vihāya varāhavrajam āśiśriyuḥ varāhavrajāśca tatkṣaṇāt kaṭakena dhāvanto hrade prāṇān vijṛhuḥ|
34 Well when the herders saw what had happened they ran away and reported it in the town and in the countryside.
tad dṛṣṭvā śūkararakṣakāḥ palāyamānā nagaraṁ grāmañca gatvā tatsarvvavṛttāntaṁ kathayāmāsuḥ|
35 So they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus; they found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
tataḥ kiṁ vṛttam etaddarśanārthaṁ lokā nirgatya yīśoḥ samīpaṁ yayuḥ, taṁ mānuṣaṁ tyaktabhūtaṁ parihitavastraṁ svasthamānuṣavad yīśoścaraṇasannidhau sūpaviśantaṁ vilokya bibhyuḥ|
36 Also, the eyewitnesses reported to them how the demonized man was healed.
ye lokāstasya bhūtagrastasya svāsthyakaraṇaṁ dadṛśuste tebhyaḥ sarvvavṛttāntaṁ kathayāmāsuḥ|
37 Then the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned.
tadanantaraṁ tasya giderīyapradeśasya caturdiksthā bahavo janā atitrastā vinayena taṁ jagaduḥ, bhavān asmākaṁ nikaṭād vrajatu tasmāt sa nāvamāruhya tato vyāghuṭya jagāma|
38 Now the man from whom the demons had gone out had started begging Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
tadānīṁ tyaktabhūtamanujastena saha sthātuṁ prārthayāñcakre
39 “Return to your house and recount how much God has done for you.” So he went his way and proclaimed all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
kintu tadartham īśvaraḥ kīdṛṅmahākarmma kṛtavān iti niveśanaṁ gatvā vijñāpaya, yīśuḥ kathāmetāṁ kathayitvā taṁ visasarja| tataḥ sa vrajitvā yīśustadarthaṁ yanmahākarmma cakāra tat purasya sarvvatra prakāśayituṁ prārebhe|
40 Now it happened, when Jesus returned, that the crowd welcomed Him, because they were all waiting for Him.
atha yīśau parāvṛtyāgate lokāstaṁ ādareṇa jagṛhu ryasmātte sarvve tamapekṣāñcakrire|
41 And then, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; he fell down at Jesus' feet and started begging Him to come to his house,
tadanantaraṁ yāyīrnāmno bhajanagehasyaikodhipa āgatya yīśoścaraṇayoḥ patitvā svaniveśanāgamanārthaṁ tasmin vinayaṁ cakāra,
42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as He was going, the crowds were pressing against Him.
yatastasya dvādaśavarṣavayaskā kanyaikāsīt sā mṛtakalpābhavat| tatastasya gamanakāle mārge lokānāṁ mahān samāgamo babhūva|
43 And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any—
dvādaśavarṣāṇi pradararogagrastā nānā vaidyaiścikitsitā sarvvasvaṁ vyayitvāpi svāsthyaṁ na prāptā yā yoṣit sā yīśoḥ paścādāgatya tasya vastragranthiṁ pasparśa|
44 approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped!
tasmāt tatkṣaṇāt tasyā raktasrāvo ruddhaḥ|
45 So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
tadānīṁ yīśuravadat kenāhaṁ spṛṣṭaḥ? tato'nekairanaṅgīkṛte pitarastasya saṅginaścāvadan, he guro lokā nikaṭasthāḥ santastava dehe gharṣayanti, tathāpi kenāhaṁ spṛṣṭa̮iti bhavān kutaḥ pṛcchati?
46 But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me.”
yīśuḥ kathayāmāsa, kenāpyahaṁ spṛṣṭo, yato mattaḥ śakti rnirgateti mayā niścitamajñāyi|
47 Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.
tadā sā nārī svayaṁ na gupteti viditvā kampamānā satī tasya sammukhe papāta; yena nimittena taṁ pasparśa sparśamātrācca yena prakāreṇa svasthābhavat tat sarvvaṁ tasya sākṣādācakhyau|
48 So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”
tataḥ sa tāṁ jagāda he kanye susthirā bhava, tava viśvāsastvāṁ svasthām akārṣīt tvaṁ kṣemeṇa yāhi|
49 While He was still speaking, here came someone from the synagogue ruler's house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don't bother the teacher.”
yīśoretadvākyavadanakāle tasyādhipate rniveśanāt kaścilloka āgatya taṁ babhāṣe, tava kanyā mṛtā guruṁ mā kliśāna|
50 But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed.”
kintu yīśustadākarṇyādhipatiṁ vyājahāra, mā bhaiṣīḥ kevalaṁ viśvasihi tasmāt sā jīviṣyati|
51 When He arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
atha tasya niveśane prāpte sa pitaraṁ yohanaṁ yākūbañca kanyāyā mātaraṁ pitarañca vinā, anyaṁ kañcana praveṣṭuṁ vārayāmāsa|
52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.”
aparañca ye rudanti vilapanti ca tān sarvvān janān uvāca, yūyaṁ mā rodiṣṭa kanyā na mṛtā nidrāti|
53 They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died.
kintu sā niścitaṁ mṛteti jñātvā te tamupajahasuḥ|
54 So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”
paścāt sa sarvvān bahiḥ kṛtvā kanyāyāḥ karau dhṛtvājuhuve, he kanye tvamuttiṣṭha,
55 Then her spirit returned, and she got right up! And He directed that she be given something to eat.
tasmāt tasyāḥ prāṇeṣu punarāgateṣu sā tatkṣaṇād uttasyau| tadānīṁ tasyai kiñcid bhakṣyaṁ dātum ādideśa|
56 Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.
tatastasyāḥ pitarau vismayaṁ gatau kintu sa tāvādideśa ghaṭanāyā etasyāḥ kathāṁ kasmaicidapi mā kathayataṁ|
