Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware all of you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
tadAnIM lOkAH sahasraM sahasram Agatya samupasthitAstata EkaikO 'nyESAmupari patitum upacakramE; tadA yIzuH ziSyAn babhASE, yUyaM phirUzinAM kiNvarUpakApaTyE vizESENa sAvadhAnAstiSThata|
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
yatO yanna prakAzayiSyatE tadAcchannaM vastu kimapi nAsti; tathA yanna jnjAsyatE tad guptaM vastu kimapi nAsti|
3 Therefore whatsoever all of you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which all of you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
andhakArE tiSThanatO yAH kathA akathayata tAH sarvvAH kathA dIptau zrOSyantE nirjanE karNE ca yadakathayata gRhapRSThAt tat pracArayiSyatE|
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
hE bandhavO yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, yE zarIrasya nAzaM vinA kimapyaparaM karttuM na zakruvanti tEbhyO mA bhaiSTa|
5 But I will forewarn you whom all of you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
tarhi kasmAd bhEtavyam ityahaM vadAmi, yaH zarIraM nAzayitvA narakaM nikSEptuM zaknOti tasmAdEva bhayaM kuruta, punarapi vadAmi tasmAdEva bhayaM kuruta| (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
panjca caTakapakSiNaH kiM dvAbhyAM tAmrakhaNPAbhyAM na vikrIyantE? tathApIzvarastESAm Ekamapi na vismarati|
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
yuSmAkaM ziraHkEzA api gaNitAH santi tasmAt mA vibhIta bahucaTakapakSibhyOpi yUyaM bahumUlyAH|
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
aparaM yuSmabhyaM kathayAmi yaH kazcin mAnuSANAM sAkSAn mAM svIkarOti manuSyaputra IzvaradUtAnAM sAkSAt taM svIkariSyati|
9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
kintu yaH kazcinmAnuSANAM sAkSAnmAm asvIkarOti tam Izvarasya dUtAnAM sAkSAd aham asvIkariSyAmi|
10 And whosoever shall speak a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven.
anyacca yaH kazcin manujasutasya nindAbhAvEna kAnjcit kathAM kathayati tasya tatpApasya mOcanaM bhaviSyati kintu yadi kazcit pavitram AtmAnaM nindati tarhi tasya tatpApasya mOcanaM na bhaviSyati|
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take all of you no thought how or what thing all of you shall answer, or what all of you shall say:
yadA lOkA yuSmAn bhajanagEhaM vicArakartRrAjyakartRNAM sammukhanjca nESyanti tadA kEna prakArENa kimuttaraM vadiSyatha kiM kathayiSyatha cEtyatra mA cintayata;
12 For the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall teach you in the same hour what all of you ought to say.
yatO yuSmAbhiryad yad vaktavyaM tat tasmin samayaEva pavitra AtmA yuSmAn zikSayiSyati|
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
tataH paraM janatAmadhyasthaH kazcijjanastaM jagAda hE gurO mayA saha paitRkaM dhanaM vibhaktuM mama bhrAtaramAjnjApayatu bhavAn|
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
kintu sa tamavadat hE manuSya yuvayO rvicAraM vibhAganjca karttuM mAM kO niyuktavAn?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
anantaraM sa lOkAnavadat lObhE sAvadhAnAH satarkAzca tiSThata, yatO bahusampattiprAptyA manuSyasyAyu rna bhavati|
16 And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
pazcAd dRSTAntakathAmutthApya kathayAmAsa, Ekasya dhaninO bhUmau bahUni zasyAni jAtAni|
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
tataH sa manasA cintayitvA kathayAmbabhUva mamaitAni samutpannAni dravyANi sthApayituM sthAnaM nAsti kiM kariSyAmi?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
tatOvadad itthaM kariSyAmi, mama sarvvabhANPAgArANi bhagktvA bRhadbhANPAgArANi nirmmAya tanmadhyE sarvvaphalAni dravyANi ca sthApayiSyAmi|
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
aparaM nijamanO vadiSyAmi, hE manO bahuvatsarArthaM nAnAdravyANi sanjcitAni santi vizrAmaM kuru bhuktvA pItvA kautukanjca kuru| kintvIzvarastam avadat,
20 But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
rE nirbOdha adya rAtrau tava prANAstvattO nESyantE tata EtAni yAni dravyANi tvayAsAditAni tAni kasya bhaviSyanti?
21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
ataEva yaH kazcid Izvarasya samIpE dhanasanjcayamakRtvA kEvalaM svanikaTE sanjcayaM karOti sOpi tAdRzaH|
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat; neither for the body, what all of you shall put on.
atha sa ziSyEbhyaH kathayAmAsa, yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, kiM khAdiSyAmaH? kiM paridhAsyAmaH? ityuktvA jIvanasya zarIrasya cArthaM cintAM mA kArSTa|
23 The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
bhakSyAjjIvanaM bhUSaNAccharIranjca zrESThaM bhavati|
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are all of you better than the fowls?
kAkapakSiNAM kAryyaM vicArayata, tE na vapanti zasyAni ca na chindanti, tESAM bhANPAgArANi na santi kOSAzca na santi, tathApIzvarastEbhyO bhakSyANi dadAti, yUyaM pakSibhyaH zrESThatarA na kiM?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
aparanjca bhAvayitvA nijAyuSaH kSaNamAtraM varddhayituM zaknOti, EtAdRzO lAkO yuSmAkaM madhyE kOsti?
26 If all of you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take all of you thought for the rest?
ataEva kSudraM kAryyaM sAdhayitum asamarthA yUyam anyasmin kAryyE kutO bhAvayatha?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
anyacca kAmpilapuSpaM kathaM varddhatE tadApi vicArayata, tat kanjcana zramaM na karOti tantUMzca na janayati kintu yuSmabhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi sulEmAn bahvaizvaryyAnvitOpi puSpasyAsya sadRzO vibhUSitO nAsIt|
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O all of you of little faith?
adya kSEtrE varttamAnaM zvazcUllyAM kSEpsyamAnaM yat tRNaM, tasmai yadIzvara itthaM bhUSayati tarhi hE alpapratyayinO yuSmAna kiM na paridhApayiSyati?
29 And seek not all of you what all of you shall eat, or what all of you shall drink, neither be all of you of doubtful mind.
ataEva kiM khAdiSyAmaH? kiM paridhAsyAmaH? EtadarthaM mA cESTadhvaM mA saMdigdhvanjca|
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that all of you have need of these things.
jagatO dEvArccakA EtAni sarvvANi cESTanatE; ESu vastuSu yuSmAkaM prayOjanamAstE iti yuSmAkaM pitA jAnAti|
31 But rather seek all of you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
ataEvEzvarasya rAjyArthaM sacESTA bhavata tathA kRtE sarvvANyEtAni dravyANi yuSmabhyaM pradAyiSyantE|
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
hE kSudramESavraja yUyaM mA bhaiSTa yuSmabhyaM rAjyaM dAtuM yuSmAkaM pituH sammatirasti|
33 Sell that all of you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
ataEva yuSmAkaM yA yA sampattirasti tAM tAM vikrIya vitarata, yat sthAnaM caurA nAgacchanti, kITAzca na kSAyayanti tAdRzE svargE nijArtham ajarE sampuTakE 'kSayaM dhanaM sanjcinuta ca;
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
yatO yatra yuSmAkaM dhanaM varttatE tatrEva yuSmAkaM manaH|
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
aparanjca yUyaM pradIpaM jvAlayitvA baddhakaTayastiSThata;
36 And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
prabhu rvivAhAdAgatya yadaiva dvAramAhanti tadaiva dvAraM mOcayituM yathA bhRtyA apEkSya tiSThanti tathA yUyamapi tiSThata|
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth and serve them.
yataH prabhurAgatya yAn dAsAn sacEtanAn tiSThatO drakSyati taEva dhanyAH; ahaM yuSmAn yathArthaM vadAmi prabhustAn bhOjanArtham upavEzya svayaM baddhakaTiH samIpamEtya parivESayiSyati|
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
yadi dvitIyE tRtIyE vA praharE samAgatya tathaiva pazyati, tarhi taEva dAsA dhanyAH|
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
aparanjca kasmin kSaNE caurA AgamiSyanti iti yadi gRhapati rjnjAtuM zaknOti tadAvazyaM jAgran nijagRhE sandhiM karttayituM vArayati yUyamEtad vitta|
40 Be all of you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when all of you think not.

41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
tadA pitaraH papraccha, hE prabhO bhavAn kimasmAn uddizya kiM sarvvAn uddizya dRSTAntakathAmimAM vadati?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
tataH prabhuH prOvAca, prabhuH samucitakAlE nijaparivArArthaM bhOjyaparivESaNAya yaM tatpadE niyOkSyati tAdRzO vizvAsyO bOddhA karmmAdhIzaH kOsti?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
prabhurAgatya yam EtAdRzE karmmaNi pravRttaM drakSyati saEva dAsO dhanyaH|
44 Truthfully I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
ahaM yuSmAn yathArthaM vadAmi sa taM nijasarvvasvasyAdhipatiM kariSyati|
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the male servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
kintu prabhurvilambEnAgamiSyati, iti vicintya sa dAsO yadi tadanyadAsIdAsAn praharttum bhOktuM pAtuM maditunjca prArabhatE,
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
tarhi yadA prabhuM nApEkSiSyatE yasmin kSaNE sO'cEtanazca sthAsyati tasminnEva kSaNE tasya prabhurAgatya taM padabhraSTaM kRtvA vizvAsahInaiH saha tasya aMzaM nirUpayiSyati|
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
yO dAsaH prabhErAjnjAM jnjAtvApi sajjitO na tiSThati tadAjnjAnusArENa ca kAryyaM na karOti sOnEkAn prahArAn prApsyati;
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
ahaM pRthivyAm anaikyarUpaM vahni nikSEptum AgatOsmi, sa cEd idAnImEva prajvalati tatra mama kA cintA?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

51 Suppose all of you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

54 And he said also to the people, When all of you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately all of you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.

55 And when all of you see the south wind blow, all of you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.

56 All of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that all of you do not discern this time?
rE rE kapaTina AkAzasya bhUmyAzca lakSaNaM bOddhuM zaknutha,
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge all of you not what is right?

58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.

59 I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
