Luke 11
1 Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples asked him, “Lord, please 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 Jesus told them, “When you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be honored as holy. May 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 every day the food we need.
pratyaham asmākaṁ prayōjanīyaṁ bhōjyaṁ dēhi|
4 Forgive us our sins, just as we forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from temptation.’”
yathā vayaṁ sarvvān aparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahē tathā tvamapi pāpānyasmākaṁ kṣamasva| asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya kintu pāpātmanō rakṣa|
5 Jesus went on to tell them, “Say you have a friend and you go to him in the middle of the night and ask, ‘My 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 visit me, and I don't have any food to give him.’
hē bandhō pathika ēkō bandhu rmama nivēśanam āyātaḥ kintu tasyātithyaṁ karttuṁ mamāntikē kimapi nāsti, ataēva pūpatrayaṁ mahyam r̥ṇaṁ dēhi;
7 Your friend in the house might reply, ‘Don't bother me—I've already locked the door, and I and my children have gone to bed. I can't get up to give you anything now.’
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 refuses to get up and give you anything, despite you being his friend, if you are persistent, your friend will get up and give you everything you need.
tarhi yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, sa yadi mitratayā tasmai kimapi dātuṁ nōttiṣṭhati tathāpi vāraṁ vāraṁ prārthanāta utthāpitaḥ san yasmin tasya prayōjanaṁ tadēva dāsyati|
9 I tell you: ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall 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; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened.
yō yācatē sa prāpnōti, yō mr̥gayatē sa ēvōddēśaṁ prāpnōti, yō dvāram āhanti tadarthaṁ dvāraṁ mōcyatē|
11 Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, would 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, would you give him a scorpion?
vā aṇḍē yācitē tasmai vr̥ścikaṁ dadāti yuṣmākaṁ madhyē ka ētādr̥śaḥ pitāstē?
13 So if you, even though you are evil, still know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father 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 Jesus was driving out a demon that had made a man dumb. When the demon had left, the man who was dumb spoke, and 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, “He is driving out demons using the power of Beelzebub, the ruler of demons.”
kintu tēṣāṁ kēcidūcu rjanōyaṁ bālasibūbā arthād bhūtarājēna bhūtān tyājayati|
16 Others were trying to test Jesus by demanding a miraculous sign from heaven.
taṁ parīkṣituṁ kēcid ākāśīyam ēkaṁ cihnaṁ darśayituṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrirē|
17 Jesus knew what they were thinking and said, “Any kingdom divided against itself will be destroyed. A family divided against itself 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? You say that I cast out demons using the power of Beelzebub.
tathaiva śaitānapi svalōkān yadi viruṇaddhi tadā tasya rājyaṁ kathaṁ sthāsyati? bālasibūbāhaṁ bhūtān tyājayāmi yūyamiti vadatha|
19 But if I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whose power do your own people drive them out? They themselves will condemn you as wrong!
yadyahaṁ bālasibūbā bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ santānāḥ kēna tyājayanti? tasmāt taēva kathāyā ētasyā vicārayitārō bhaviṣyanti|
20 However, if I am driving out demons by the power of God, then this proves God's kingdom has arrived. It's right here among you!
kintu yadyaham īśvarasya parākramēṇa bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭam īśvarasya rājyamavaśyam upatiṣṭhati|
21 When a strong man who is fully armed guards his house, all he owns is safe.
balavān pumān susajjamānō yatikālaṁ nijāṭṭālikāṁ rakṣati tatikālaṁ tasya dravyaṁ nirupadravaṁ tiṣṭhati|
22 But if a stronger man comes and defeats him, taking from him all his weapons that he depended on, then he can carry off all his possessions.
kintu tasmād adhikabalaḥ kaścidāgatya yadi taṁ jayati tarhi yēṣu śastrāstrēṣu tasya viśvāsa āsīt tāni sarvvāṇi hr̥tvā tasya dravyāṇi gr̥hlāti|
23 Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who doesn't build together with me is breaking it all apart.
ataḥ kāraṇād yō mama sapakṣō na sa vipakṣaḥ, yō mayā saha na saṁgr̥hlāti sa vikirati|
24 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it goes through the desert looking for a place to stay. When it doesn't find anywhere, it says, ‘I'll 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 When it returns, it finds its old home is swept and tidy.
tatō gatvā tad gr̥haṁ mārjitaṁ śōbhitañca dr̥ṣṭvā
26 So it goes and finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there. In the end that man is worse off than before.”
tatkṣaṇam apagatya svasmādapi durmmatīn aparān saptabhūtān sahānayati tē ca tadgr̥haṁ paviśya nivasanti| tasmāt tasya manuṣyasya prathamadaśātaḥ śēṣadaśā duḥkhatarā bhavati|
27 As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the womb from where you came and the breasts that nursed you.”
asyāḥ kathāyāḥ kathanakālē janatāmadhyasthā kācinnārī tamuccaiḥsvaraṁ prōvāca, yā yōṣit tvāṁ garbbhē'dhārayat stanyamapāyayacca saiva dhanyā|
28 But Jesus said, “Even more blessed are those who hear God's word, and follow what it says.”
kintu sōkathayat yē paramēśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpam ācaranti taēva dhanyāḥ|
29 As people crowded around him, Jesus began telling them, “This is an evil generation for it's looking for some miraculous sign, but no sign will be given to 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 In the same way that Jonah was a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man 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 in the judgment together with the people of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon's wisdom, and now there is someone greater than Solomon 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 people of Nineveh rise in the judgment together with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented when they heard Jonah's message, and now there's someone greater than Jonah 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 then hides it or places it under a bowl. No, you put it on a lamp stand so that those who come into the house can see the light.
pradīpaṁ prajvālya drōṇasyādhaḥ kutrāpi guptasthānē vā kōpi na sthāpayati kintu gr̥hapravēśibhyō dīptiṁ dātaṁ dīpādhārōparyyēva sthāpayati|
34 Your eye is the light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body is in the dark.
dēhasya pradīpaścakṣustasmādēva cakṣu ryadi prasannaṁ bhavati tarhi tava sarvvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati kintu cakṣu ryadi malīmasaṁ tiṣṭhati tarhi sarvvaśarīraṁ sāndhakāraṁ sthāsyati|
35 So make sure the light you have in you is not actually darkness.
asmāt kāraṇāt tavāntaḥsthaṁ jyōti ryathāndhakāramayaṁ na bhavati tadarthē sāvadhānō bhava|
36 If your whole body is full of light, with no areas of darkness, then it will be completely illuminated, just as a bright lamp gives you light.”
yataḥ śarīrasya kutrāpyaṁśē sāndhakārē na jātē sarvvaṁ yadi dīptimat tiṣṭhati tarhi tubhyaṁ dīptidāyiprōjjvalan pradīpa iva tava savarvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati|
37 After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to come and eat with him. So Jesus went and sat down to a meal.
ētatkathāyāḥ kathanakālē phiruśyēkō bhējanāya taṁ nimantrayāmāsa, tataḥ sa gatvā bhōktum upavivēśa|
38 The Pharisee was surprised that Jesus didn't wash his hands before eating as ceremonially required.
kintu bhōjanāt pūrvvaṁ nāmāṅkṣīt ētad dr̥ṣṭvā sa phiruśyāścaryyaṁ mēnē|
39 So the Lord told him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you're full of greed and wickedness.
tadā prabhustaṁ prōvāca yūyaṁ phirūśilōkāḥ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhōjanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha kintu yuṣmākamanta rdaurātmyai rduṣkriyābhiśca paripūrṇaṁ tiṣṭhati|
40 You're so foolish! Don't you think the one who made the outside made the inside as well?
hē sarvvē nirbōdhā yō bahiḥ sasarja sa ēva kimanta rna sasarja?
41 If, acting from within, you do acts of kindness to others, then everything will be clean to you.
tata ēva yuṣmābhirantaḥkaraṇaṁ (īśvarāya) nivēdyatāṁ tasmin kr̥tē yuṣmākaṁ sarvvāṇi śucitāṁ yāsyanti|
42 Shame on you Pharisees! You pay tithe on herbs and plants, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You need to pay attention to the latter, while not leaving the former things undone.
kintu hanta phirūśigaṇā yūyaṁ nyāyam īśvarē prēma ca parityajya pōdināyā arudādīnāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ śākānāñca daśamāṁśān dattha kintu prathamaṁ pālayitvā śēṣasyālaṅghanaṁ yuṣmākam ucitamāsīt|
43 Shame on you Pharisees! You love to have the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect when you go to the markets.
hā hā phirūśinō yūyaṁ bhajanagēhē prōccāsanē āpaṇēṣu ca namaskārēṣu prīyadhvē|
44 Shame on you! You are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing.”
vata kapaṭinō'dhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca lōkāyat śmaśānam anupalabhya tadupari gacchanti yūyam tādr̥gaprakāśitaśmaśānavād bhavatha|
45 One of the experts in religious law reacted, saying, “Teacher, when you talk like this, you're insulting us too!”
tadānīṁ vyavasthāpakānām ēkā yīśumavadat, hē upadēśaka vākyēnēdr̥śēnāsmāsvapi dōṣam ārōpayasi|
46 Jesus replied, “Shame on you lawyers too! You place burdens on people that are too hard to carry, but you don't lift a finger to help them.
tataḥ sa uvāca, hā hā vyavasthāpakā yūyam mānuṣāṇām upari duḥsahyān bhārān nyasyatha kintu svayam ēkāṅgulyāpi tān bhārān na spr̥śatha|
47 Shame on you! You build memorial tombs to honor the prophets, but it was your own fathers who killed them in the first place!
hanta yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā yān bhaviṣyadvādinō'vadhiṣustēṣāṁ śmaśānāni yūyaṁ nirmmātha|
48 By doing this you are witnesses showing that you agree with what your fathers did. 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 This is why God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some they will kill, and others they will persecute.’
ataēva īśvarasya śāstrē prōktamasti tēṣāmantikē bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ prēritāṁśca prēṣayiṣyāmi tatastē tēṣāṁ kāṁścana haniṣyanti kāṁścana tāḍaśṣyinti|
50 Consequently, this generation will be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets shed from the beginning of the world,
ētasmāt kāraṇāt hābilaḥ śōṇitapātamārabhya mandirayajñavēdyō rmadhyē hatasya sikhariyasya raktapātaparyyantaṁ
51 from the blood of Abel right up to the blood of Zachariah who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable for all of it.
jagataḥ sr̥ṣṭimārabhya pr̥thivyāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ yatiraktapātā jātāstatīnām aparādhadaṇḍā ēṣāṁ varttamānalōkānāṁ bhaviṣyanti, yuṣmānahaṁ niścitaṁ vadāmi sarvvē daṇḍā vaṁśasyāsya bhaviṣyanti|
52 Shame on you lawyers! You have removed the key of knowledge. You didn't go in yourselves, and you prevented others from going in too.”
hā hā vyavasthapakā yūyaṁ jñānasya kuñcikāṁ hr̥tvā svayaṁ na praviṣṭā yē pravēṣṭuñca prayāsinastānapi pravēṣṭuṁ vāritavantaḥ|
53 As Jesus was leaving, the religious teachers and the Pharisees began to attack him aggressively, asking questions to provoke him.
itthaṁ kathākathanād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca satarkāḥ
54 They were hoping to catch him out, trying to get him to say something they could use against him.
santastamapavadituṁ tasya kathāyā dōṣaṁ dharttamicchantō nānākhyānakathanāya taṁ pravarttayituṁ kōpayituñca prārēbhirē|
