Luke 13
1 Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
aparañca pīlāto yeṣāṁ gālīlīyānāṁ raktāni balīnāṁ raktaiḥ sahāmiśrayat teṣāṁ gālīlīyānāṁ vṛttāntaṁ katipayajanā upasthāpya yīśave kathayāmāsuḥ|
2 “Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
tataḥ sa pratyuvāca teṣāṁ lokānām etādṛśī durgati rghaṭitā tatkāraṇād yūyaṁ kimanyebhyo gālīlīyebhyopyadhikapāpinastān bodhadhve?
3 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi tathā na kintu manaḥsu na parāvarttiteṣu yūyamapi tathā naṁkṣyatha|
4 Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
aparañca śīlohanāmna uccagṛhasya patanād ye'ṣṭādaśajanā mṛtāste yirūśālami nivāsisarvvalokebhyo'dhikāparādhinaḥ kiṁ yūyamityaṁ bodhadhve?
5 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi tathā na kintu manaḥsu na parivarttiteṣu yūyamapi tathā naṁkṣyatha|
6 And Jesus told them this parable – “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
anantaraṁ sa imāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāmakathayad eko jano drākṣākṣetramadhya ekamuḍumbaravṛkṣaṁ ropitavān| paścāt sa āgatya tasmin phalāni gaveṣayāmāsa,
7 So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
kintu phalāprāpteḥ kāraṇād udyānakāraṁ bhṛtyaṁ jagāda, paśya vatsaratrayaṁ yāvadāgatya etasminnuḍumbaratarau kṣalānyanvicchāmi, kintu naikamapi prapnomi tarurayaṁ kuto vṛthā sthānaṁ vyāpya tiṣṭhati? enaṁ chindhi|
8 ‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘until I have dug around it and manured it.
tato bhṛtyaḥ pratyuvāca, he prabho punarvarṣamekaṁ sthātum ādiśa; etasya mūlasya caturdikṣu khanitvāham ālavālaṁ sthāpayāmi|
9 Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
tataḥ phalituṁ śaknoti yadi na phalati tarhi paścāt chetsyasi|
10 Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the synagogues,
atha viśrāmavāre bhajanagehe yīśurupadiśati
11 and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
tasmit samaye bhūtagrastatvāt kubjībhūyāṣṭādaśavarṣāṇi yāvat kenāpyupāyena ṛju rbhavituṁ na śaknoti yā durbbalā strī,
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said, “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
tāṁ tatropasthitāṁ vilokya yīśustāmāhūya kathitavān he nāri tava daurbbalyāt tvaṁ muktā bhava|
13 He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
tataḥ paraṁ tasyā gātre hastārpaṇamātrāt sā ṛjurbhūtveśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ karttumārebhe|
14 But the synagogue leader, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, intervened and said to the people, “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
kintu viśrāmavāre yīśunā tasyāḥ svāsthyakaraṇād bhajanagehasyādhipatiḥ prakupya lokān uvāca, ṣaṭsu dineṣu lokaiḥ karmma karttavyaṁ tasmāddhetoḥ svāsthyārthaṁ teṣu dineṣu āgacchata, viśrāmavāre māgacchata|
15 “You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not everyone of you let your ox or your donkey loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
tadā pabhuḥ pratyuvāca re kapaṭino yuṣmākam ekaiko jano viśrāmavāre svīyaṁ svīyaṁ vṛṣabhaṁ gardabhaṁ vā bandhanānmocayitvā jalaṁ pāyayituṁ kiṁ na nayati?
16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
tarhyāṣṭādaśavatsarān yāvat śaitānā baddhā ibrāhīmaḥ santatiriyaṁ nārī kiṁ viśrāmavāre na mocayitavyā?
17 As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
eṣu vākyeṣu kathiteṣu tasya vipakṣāḥ salajjā jātāḥ kintu tena kṛtasarvvamahākarmmakāraṇāt lokanivahaḥ sānando'bhavat|
18 So Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what can I liken it?
anantaraṁ sovadad īśvarasya rājyaṁ kasya sadṛśaṁ? kena tadupamāsyāmi?
19 It is like a mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches.”
yat sarṣapabījaṁ gṛhītvā kaścijjana udyāna uptavān tad bījamaṅkuritaṁ sat mahāvṛkṣo'jāyata, tatastasya śākhāsu vihāyasīyavihagā āgatya nyūṣuḥ, tadrājyaṁ tādṛśena sarṣapabījena tulyaṁ|
20 And again Jesus said, “To what can I liken the kingdom of God?
punaḥ kathayāmāsa, īśvarasya rājyaṁ kasya sadṛśaṁ vadiṣyāmi? yat kiṇvaṁ kācit strī gṛhītvā droṇatrayaparimitagodhūmacūrṇeṣu sthāpayāmāsa,
21 It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
tataḥ krameṇa tat sarvvagodhūmacūrṇaṁ vyāpnoti, tasya kiṇvasya tulyam īśvarasya rājyaṁ|
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
tataḥ sa yirūśālamnagaraṁ prati yātrāṁ kṛtvā nagare nagare grāme grāme samupadiśan jagāma|
23 “Master,” someone asked, “are there but few in the path of salvation?” And Jesus answered,
tadā kaścijjanastaṁ papraccha, he prabho kiṁ kevalam alpe lokāḥ paritrāsyante?
24 “Strive to go in by the narrow door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
tataḥ sa lokān uvāca, saṁkīrṇadvāreṇa praveṣṭuṁ yataghvaṁ, yatohaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, bahavaḥ praveṣṭuṁ ceṣṭiṣyante kintu na śakṣyanti|
25 when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be – ‘I do not know where you come from.’
gṛhapatinotthāya dvāre ruddhe sati yadi yūyaṁ bahiḥ sthitvā dvāramāhatya vadatha, he prabho he prabho asmatkāraṇād dvāraṁ mocayatu, tataḥ sa iti prativakṣyati, yūyaṁ kutratyā lokā ityahaṁ na jānāmi|
26 Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be –
tadā yūyaṁ vadiṣyatha, tava sākṣād vayaṁ bhejanaṁ pānañca kṛtavantaḥ, tvañcāsmākaṁ nagarasya pathi samupadiṣṭavān|
27 ‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
kintu sa vakṣyati, yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, yūyaṁ kutratyā lokā ityahaṁ na jānāmi; he durācāriṇo yūyaṁ matto dūrībhavata|
28 There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
tadā ibrāhīmaṁ ishākaṁ yākūbañca sarvvabhaviṣyadvādinaśca īśvarasya rājyaṁ prāptān svāṁśca bahiṣkṛtān dṛṣṭvā yūyaṁ rodanaṁ dantairdantagharṣaṇañca kariṣyatha|
29 People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God.
aparañca pūrvvapaścimadakṣiṇottaradigbhyo lokā āgatya īśvarasya rājye nivatsyanti|
30 There are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
paśyatetthaṁ śeṣīyā lokā agrā bhaviṣyanti, agrīyā lokāśca śeṣā bhaviṣyanti|
31 Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said, “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
aparañca tasmin dine kiyantaḥ phirūśina āgatya yīśuṁ procuḥ, bahirgaccha, sthānādasmāt prasthānaṁ kuru, herod tvāṁ jighāṁsati|
32 But Jesus answered, “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and will be completing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will have done.’
tataḥ sa pratyavocat paśyatādya śvaśca bhūtān vihāpya rogiṇo'rogiṇaḥ kṛtvā tṛtīyehni setsyāmi, kathāmetāṁ yūyamitvā taṁ bhūrimāyaṁ vadata|
33 But today and tomorrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
tatrāpyadya śvaḥ paraśvaśca mayā gamanāgamane karttavye, yato heto ryirūśālamo bahiḥ kutrāpi kopi bhaviṣyadvādī na ghāniṣyate|
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! You who slays the prophets and stones the messengers sent to you – Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children around me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
he yirūśālam he yirūśālam tvaṁ bhaviṣyadvādino haṁsi tavāntike preritān prastarairmārayasi ca, yathā kukkuṭī nijapakṣādhaḥ svaśāvakān saṁgṛhlāti, tathāhamapi tava śiśūn saṁgrahītuṁ kativārān aicchaṁ kintu tvaṁ naicchaḥ|
35 Verily your house is left to you desolate! And never, I tell you, will you see me, until you say – ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
paśyata yuṣmākaṁ vāsasthānāni procchidyamānāni parityaktāni ca bhaviṣyanti; yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, yaḥ prabho rnāmnāgacchati sa dhanya iti vācaṁ yāvatkālaṁ na vadiṣyatha, tāvatkālaṁ yūyaṁ māṁ na drakṣyatha|
