Luke 18
1 And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint-hearted;
aparanjca lOkairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAzayEna yIzunA dRSTAnta EkaH kathitaH|
2 saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
kutracinnagarE kazcit prAPvivAka AsIt sa IzvarAnnAbibhEt mAnuSAMzca nAmanyata|
3 And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
atha tatpuravAsinI kAcidvidhavA tatsamIpamEtya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariSkurvviti nivEdayAmAsa|
4 And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself—Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,
tataH sa prAPvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tadaggIkRtavAn pazcAccittE cintayAmAsa, yadyapIzvarAnna bibhEmi manuSyAnapi na manyE
5 Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
tathApyESA vidhavA mAM kliznAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariSkariSyAmi nOcEt sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariSyati|
6 And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
pazcAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprAPvivAkO yadAha tatra manO nidhadhvaM|
7 And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?
Izvarasya yE 'bhirucitalOkA divAnizaM prArthayantE sa bahudinAni vilambyApi tESAM vivAdAn kiM na pariSkariSyati?
8 I tell you—He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?
yuSmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariSkariSyati, kintu yadA manuSyaputra AgamiSyati tadA pRthivyAM kimIdRzaM vizvAsaM prApsyati?
9 And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
yE svAn dhArmmikAn jnjAtvA parAn tucchIkurvvanti EtAdRgbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dRSTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
10 Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
EkaH phirUzyaparaH karasanjcAyI dvAvimau prArthayituM mandiraM gatau|
11 The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, —extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;
tatO'sau phirUzyEkapArzvE tiSThan hE Izvara ahamanyalOkavat lOThayitAnyAyI pAradArikazca na bhavAmi asya karasanjcAyinastulyazca na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
12 I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
saptasu dinESu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampattE rdazamAMzaM dadAmi ca, EtatkathAM kathayan prArthayAmAsa|
13 But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, —would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying—O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner!
kintu sa karasanjcAyi dUrE tiSThan svargaM draSTuM nEcchan vakSasi karAghAtaM kurvvan hE Izvara pApiSThaM mAM dayasva, itthaM prArthayAmAsa|
14 I tell you—This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, tayOrdvayO rmadhyE kEvalaH karasanjcAyI puNyavattvEna gaNitO nijagRhaM jagAma, yatO yaH kazcit svamunnamayati sa nAmayiSyatE kintu yaH kazcit svaM namayati sa unnamayiSyatE|
15 And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
atha zizUnAM gAtrasparzArthaM lOkAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH ziSyAstad dRSTvAnEtRn tarjayAmAsuH,
16 But, Jesus, called them near, saying—Suffer, the children, to be coming unto me, and do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
kintu yIzustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM zizUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMzca mA vArayata; yata IzvararAjyAdhikAriNa ESAM sadRzAH|
17 Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
ahaM yuSmAn yathArthaM vadAmi, yO janaH zizOH sadRzO bhUtvA IzvararAjyaM na gRhlAti sa kEnApi prakArENa tat pravESTuM na zaknOti|
18 And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
aparam EkOdhipatistaM papraccha, hE paramagurO, anantAyuSaH prAptayE mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
19 But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
yIzuruvAca, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IzvaraM vinA kOpi paramO na bhavati|
20 The commandments, thou knowest: —Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, —Honour thy father and mother,
paradArAn mA gaccha, naraM mA jahi, mA cOraya, mithyAsAkSyaM mA dEhi, mAtaraM pitaranjca saMmanyasva, EtA yA AjnjAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
21 And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
tadA sa uvAca, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA EtA AcarAmi|
22 And Jesus, hearing, said unto him—Yet one thing, unto thee, is lacking: Whatsoever thou hast, sell, and distribute unto the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in [the] heavens; and come! be following me.
iti kathAM zrutvA yIzustamavadat, tathApi tavaikaM karmma nyUnamAstE, nijaM sarvvasvaM vikrIya daridrEbhyO vitara, tasmAt svargE dhanaM prApsyasi; tata Agatya mamAnugAmI bhava|
23 But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
kintvEtAM kathAM zrutvA sOdhipatiH zuzOca, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
24 And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
tadA yIzustamatizOkAnvitaM dRSTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IzvararAjyapravEzaH kIdRg duSkaraH|
25 For it is, easier, for a camel, to enter, through the eye of a needle, than for, a rich man, to enter, into the kingdom of God.
IzvararAjyE dhaninaH pravEzAt sUcEzchidrENa mahAggasya gamanAgamanE sukarE|
26 And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
zrOtAraH papracchustarhi kEna paritrANaM prApsyatE?
27 And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSENAzakyaM tad IzvarENa zakyaM|
28 And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
tadA pitara uvAca, pazya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pazcAdgAminO'bhavAma|
29 And, he, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you—No one, is there, who hath left—house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, —for the sake of the kingdom of God;
tataH sa uvAca, yuSmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi, IzvararAjyArthaM gRhaM pitarau bhrAtRgaNaM jAyAM santAnAMzca tyaktavA
31 And, taking aside the twelve, he said unto them—Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem, and all the things will be finished, which have been written through means of the prophets, respecting the Son of Man;
anantaraM sa dvAdazaziSyAnAhUya babhASE, pazyata vayaM yirUzAlamnagaraM yAmaH, tasmAt manuSyaputrE bhaviSyadvAdibhiruktaM yadasti tadanurUpaM taM prati ghaTiSyatE;
32 For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
vastutastu sO'nyadEzIyAnAM hastESu samarpayiSyatE, tE tamupahasiSyanti, anyAyamAcariSyanti tadvapuSi niSThIvaM nikSEpsyanti, kazAbhiH prahRtya taM haniSyanti ca,
33 and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
kintu tRtIyadinE sa zmazAnAd utthAsyati|
34 And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
EtasyAH kathAyA abhiprAyaM kinjcidapi tE bOddhuM na zEkuH tESAM nikaTE'spaSTatavAt tasyaitAsAM kathAnAm AzayaM tE jnjAtuM na zEkuzca|
35 And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
atha tasmin yirIhOH purasyAntikaM prAptE kazcidandhaH pathaH pArzva upavizya bhikSAm akarOt
36 And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
sa lOkasamUhasya gamanazabdaM zrutvA tatkAraNaM pRSTavAn|
37 And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
nAsaratIyayIzuryAtIti lOkairuktE sa uccairvaktumArEbhE,
38 And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
hE dAyUdaH santAna yIzO mAM dayasva|
39 And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out—O Son of David! have mercy upon me!
tatOgragAminastaM maunI tiSThEti tarjayAmAsuH kintu sa punAruvan uvAca, hE dAyUdaH santAna mAM dayasva|
40 And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
tadA yIzuH sthagitO bhUtvA svAntikE tamAnEtum AdidEza|
41 What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
tataH sa tasyAntikam Agamat, tadA sa taM papraccha, tvaM kimicchasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariSyAmi? sa uktavAn, hE prabhO'haM draSTuM labhai|
42 And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
tadA yIzuruvAca, dRSTizaktiM gRhANa tava pratyayastvAM svasthaM kRtavAn|
43 And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
