Luke 20
1 Once when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple, telling them the good news, some of the chief priests and religious teachers came with the elders.
athaikadā yīśu rmanidarē susaṁvādaṁ pracārayan lōkānupadiśati, ētarhi pradhānayājakā adhyāpakāḥ prāñcaśca tannikaṭamāgatya papracchuḥ
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by whose authority are you doing what you do? Who gave you the right to do this?”
kayājñayā tvaṁ karmmāṇyētāni karōṣi? kō vā tvāmājñāpayat? tadasmān vada|
3 “Let me ask you a question too,” Jesus replied. “Tell me:
sa pratyuvāca, tarhi yuṣmānapi kathāmēkāṁ pr̥cchāmi tasyōttaraṁ vadata|
4 the baptism of John—was it from heaven, or was it just human?”
yōhanō majjanam īśvarasya mānuṣāṇāṁ vājñātō jātaṁ?
5 They talked about it among themselves: “If we say it was from heaven, he'll ask, ‘Then why didn't you believe him?’
tatastē mithō vivicya jagaduḥ, yadīśvarasya vadāmastarhi taṁ kutō na pratyaita sa iti vakṣyati|
6 And if we say it was just human, everybody will stone us for they're sure John was a prophet.”
yadi manuṣyasyēti vadāmastarhi sarvvē lōkā asmān pāṣāṇai rhaniṣyanti yatō yōhan bhaviṣyadvādīti sarvvē dr̥ḍhaṁ jānanti|
7 So they answered, “We don't know where it came from.”
ataēva tē pratyūcuḥ kasyājñayā jātam iti vaktuṁ na śaknumaḥ|
8 Jesus replied, “Then I won't tell you by whose authority I do what I do.”
tadā yīśuravadat tarhi kayājñayā karmmāṇyētāti karōmīti ca yuṣmān na vakṣyāmi|
9 Then he began to tell the people a story: “Once there was a man who planted a vineyard, leased it to some farmers, and went to live in another country for a long while.
atha lōkānāṁ sākṣāt sa imāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntakathāṁ vaktumārēbhē, kaścid drākṣākṣētraṁ kr̥tvā tat kṣētraṁ kr̥ṣīvalānāṁ hastēṣu samarpya bahukālārthaṁ dūradēśaṁ jagāma|
10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenant farmers to collect his share of the crop, but the farmers beat the servant and sent him away with nothing.
atha phalakālē phalāni grahītu kr̥ṣīvalānāṁ samīpē dāsaṁ prāhiṇōt kintu kr̥ṣīvalāstaṁ prahr̥tya riktahastaṁ visasarjuḥ|
11 So the owner sent another servant, but they beat him too and treated him shamefully, and sent him away with nothing.
tataḥ sōdhipatiḥ punaranyaṁ dāsaṁ prēṣayāmāsa, tē tamapi prahr̥tya kuvyavahr̥tya riktahastaṁ visasr̥juḥ|
12 So he sent a third servant, but they wounded him and threw him out.
tataḥ sa tr̥tīyavāram anyaṁ prāhiṇōt tē tamapi kṣatāṅgaṁ kr̥tvā bahi rnicikṣipuḥ|
13 The owner of the vineyard asked himself, ‘What shall I do? I know, I'll send my son whom I love. Perhaps they will respect him.’
tadā kṣētrapati rvicārayāmāsa, mamēdānīṁ kiṁ karttavyaṁ? mama priyē putrē prahitē tē tamavaśyaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā samādariṣyantē|
14 But when they saw him coming, the farmers said to themselves, ‘This is the owner's heir. Let's kill him! That way we can take his inheritance.’
kintu kr̥ṣīvalāstaṁ nirīkṣya parasparaṁ vivicya prōcuḥ, ayamuttarādhikārī āgacchatainaṁ hanmastatōdhikārōsmākaṁ bhaviṣyati|
15 They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
tatastē taṁ kṣētrād bahi rnipātya jaghnustasmāt sa kṣētrapatistān prati kiṁ kariṣyati?
16 He will come and kill these farmers and let others have the vineyard.” When they heard the story, they said, “May this never happen!”
sa āgatya tān kr̥ṣīvalān hatvā parēṣāṁ hastēṣu tatkṣētraṁ samarpayiṣyati; iti kathāṁ śrutvā tē 'vadan ētādr̥śī ghaṭanā na bhavatu|
17 But Jesus looked at them and said, “Then why is it written in the Scriptures, ‘The stone the builders rejected has now become the chief cornerstone’?
kintu yīśustānavalōkya jagāda, tarhi, sthapatayaḥ kariṣyanti grāvāṇaṁ yantu tucchakaṁ| pradhānaprastaraḥ kōṇē sa ēva hi bhaviṣyati| ētasya śāstrīyavacanasya kiṁ tātparyyaṁ?
18 Anyone who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; anyone it falls upon will be crushed.”
aparaṁ tatpāṣāṇōpari yaḥ patiṣyati sa bhaṁkṣyatē kintu yasyōpari sa pāṣāṇaḥ patiṣyati sa tēna dhūlivac cūrṇībhaviṣyati|
19 Immediately the religious teachers and the chief priests wanted to arrest him because they realized that the story Jesus told was aimed at them, but they were afraid of what the people would do.
sōsmākaṁ viruddhaṁ dr̥ṣṭāntamimaṁ kathitavān iti jñātvā pradhānayājakā adhyāpakāśca tadaiva taṁ dhartuṁ vavāñchuḥ kintu lōkēbhyō bibhyuḥ|
20 Watching for an opportunity they sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They tried to catch Jesus out in something he said so they could hand him over to the power and authority of the governor.
ataēva taṁ prati satarkāḥ santaḥ kathaṁ tadvākyadōṣaṁ dhr̥tvā taṁ dēśādhipasya sādhuvēśadhāriṇaścarān tasya samīpē prēṣayāmāsuḥ|
21 They said, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is good and right, and that you're not swayed by the opinions of others. You truly teach the way of God.
tadā tē taṁ papracchuḥ, hē upadēśaka bhavān yathārthaṁ kathayan upadiśati, kamapyanapēkṣya satyatvēnaiśvaraṁ mārgamupadiśati, vayamētajjānīmaḥ|
22 So should we pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
kaisararājāya karōsmābhi rdēyō na vā?
23 But Jesus saw through their trickery, and said to them,
sa tēṣāṁ vañcanaṁ jñātvāvadat kutō māṁ parīkṣadhvē? māṁ mudrāmēkaṁ darśayata|
24 “Show me a coin—a denarius. Whose image and inscription is on it?” “Caesar's,” they answered.
iha likhitā mūrtiriyaṁ nāma ca kasya? tē'vadan kaisarasya|
25 “Then give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give back to God what belongs to God,” he told them.
tadā sa uvāca, tarhi kaisarasya dravyaṁ kaisarāya datta; īśvarasya tu dravyamīśvarāya datta|
26 They weren't able to trap him by what he told the people. They were stunned at his reply, and fell silent.
tasmāllōkānāṁ sākṣāt tatkathāyāḥ kamapi dōṣaṁ dhartumaprāpya tē tasyōttarād āścaryyaṁ manyamānā mauninastasthuḥ|
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, came to Jesus with this question:
aparañca śmaśānādutthānānaṅgīkāriṇāṁ sidūkināṁ kiyantō janā āgatya taṁ papracchuḥ,
28 “Teacher,” they began, “Moses gave us a law that if a married man dies leaving a wife without children, then his brother should marry the widow and have children for his dead brother.
hē upadēśaka śāstrē mūsā asmān pratīti lilēkha yasya bhrātā bhāryyāyāṁ satyāṁ niḥsantānō mriyatē sa tajjāyāṁ vivahya tadvaṁśam utpādayiṣyati|
29 Once there were seven brothers. The first had a wife, and died without having children.
tathāca kēcit sapta bhrātara āsan tēṣāṁ jyēṣṭhō bhrātā vivahya nirapatyaḥ prāṇān jahau|
30 The second
atha dvitīyastasya jāyāṁ vivahya nirapatyaḥ san mamāra| tr̥tīyaśca tāmēva vyuvāha;
31 and then the third brother also married her. In the end all seven brothers married her, and then died without having children.
itthaṁ sapta bhrātarastāmēva vivahya nirapatyāḥ santō mamruḥ|
32 Finally the wife died too.
śēṣē sā strī ca mamāra|
33 Now whose wife will she be in the resurrection, since all seven brothers had married her?”
ataēva śmaśānādutthānakālē tēṣāṁ saptajanānāṁ kasya sā bhāryyā bhaviṣyati? yataḥ sā tēṣāṁ saptānāmēva bhāryyāsīt|
tadā yīśuḥ pratyuvāca, ētasya jagatō lōkā vivahanti vāgdattāśca bhavanti (aiōn g165)
35 “But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and the resurrection from the dead don't marry or are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
kintu yē tajjagatprāptiyōgyatvēna gaṇitāṁ bhaviṣyanti śmaśānāccōtthāsyanti tē na vivahanti vāgdattāśca na bhavanti, (aiōn g165)
36 They can't die any longer; they're like the angels and are children of God since they're children of the resurrection.
tē puna rna mriyantē kintu śmaśānādutthāpitāḥ santa īśvarasya santānāḥ svargīyadūtānāṁ sadr̥śāśca bhavanti|
37 But on the question of whether the dead are raised, even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush, when he calls the Lord, ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
adhikantu mūsāḥ stambōpākhyānē paramēśvara ībrāhīma īśvara ishāka īśvarō yākūbaścēśvara ityuktvā mr̥tānāṁ śmaśānād utthānasya pramāṇaṁ lilēkha|
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him they all are alive.”
ataēva ya īśvaraḥ sa mr̥tānāṁ prabhu rna kintu jīvatāmēva prabhuḥ, tannikaṭē sarvvē jīvantaḥ santi|
39 Some of the religious teachers responded, “That was a good answer, Teacher.”
iti śrutvā kiyantōdhyāpakā ūcuḥ, hē upadēśaka bhavān bhadraṁ pratyuktavān|
40 After this no one dared to ask him any more questions.
itaḥ paraṁ taṁ kimapi praṣṭaṁ tēṣāṁ pragalbhatā nābhūt|
41 Then Jesus asked them, “Why is it said that Christ is the son of David?
paścāt sa tān uvāca, yaḥ khrīṣṭaḥ sa dāyūdaḥ santāna ētāṁ kathāṁ lōkāḥ kathaṁ kathayanti?
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand
yataḥ mama prabhumidaṁ vākyamavadat paramēśvaraḥ| tava śatrūnahaṁ yāvat pādapīṭhaṁ karōmi na| tāvat kālaṁ madīyē tvaṁ dakṣapārśva upāviśa|
43 until I make all your enemies a footstool for your feet.’
iti kathāṁ dāyūd svayaṁ gītagranthē'vadat|
44 David calls him ‘Lord,’ so how can he be David's son?”
ataēva yadi dāyūd taṁ prabhuṁ vadati, tarhi sa kathaṁ tasya santānō bhavati?
45 While everyone was paying attention, he said to his disciples,
paścād yīśuḥ sarvvajanānāṁ karṇagōcarē śiṣyānuvāca,
46 “Watch out for religious leaders who like to go around in long robes, and love to be greeted with respect in the markets, and to have the best seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets.
yē'dhyāpakā dīrghaparicchadaṁ paridhāya bhramanti, haṭṭāpaṇayō rnamaskārē bhajanagēhasya prōccāsanē bhōjanagr̥hasya pradhānasthānē ca prīyantē
47 They cheat widows out of what they own, and cover up the kind of people they really are with long-winded prayers. They will receive severe condemnation in the judgment.”
vidhavānāṁ sarvvasvaṁ grasitvā chalēna dīrghakālaṁ prārthayantē ca tēṣu sāvadhānā bhavata, tēṣāmugradaṇḍō bhaviṣyati|
