Luke 19
1 Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
yadā yīśu ryirīhopuraṁ praviśya tanmadhyena gacchaṁstadā
2 There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
sakkeyanāmā karasañcāyināṁ pradhāno dhanavāneko
3 He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
yīśuḥ kīdṛgiti draṣṭuṁ ceṣṭitavān kintu kharvvatvāllokasaṁghamadhye taddarśanamaprāpya
4 So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
yena pathā sa yāsyati tatpathe'gre dhāvitvā taṁ draṣṭum uḍumbaratarumāruroha|
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
paścād yīśustatsthānam itvā ūrddhvaṁ vilokya taṁ dṛṣṭvāvādīt, he sakkeya tvaṁ śīghramavaroha mayādya tvadgehe vastavyaṁ|
6 So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
tataḥ sa śīghramavaruhya sāhlādaṁ taṁ jagrāha|
7 The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
tad dṛṣṭvā sarvve vivadamānā vaktumārebhire, sotithitvena duṣṭalokagṛhaṁ gacchati|
8 Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
kintu sakkeyo daṇḍāyamāno vaktumārebhe, he prabho paśya mama yā sampattirasti tadarddhaṁ daridrebhyo dade, aparam anyāyaṁ kṛtvā kasmādapi yadi kadāpi kiñcit mayā gṛhītaṁ tarhi taccaturguṇaṁ dadāmi|
9 Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
tadā yīśustamuktavān ayamapi ibrāhīmaḥ santāno'taḥ kāraṇād adyāsya gṛhe trāṇamupasthitaṁ|
10 Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
yad hāritaṁ tat mṛgayituṁ rakṣituñca manuṣyaputra āgatavān|
11 They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
atha sa yirūśālamaḥ samīpa upātiṣṭhad īśvararājatvasyānuṣṭhānaṁ tadaiva bhaviṣyatīti lokairanvabhūyata, tasmāt sa śrotṛbhyaḥ punardṛṣṭāntakathām utthāpya kathayāmāsa|
12 [So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
kopi mahālloko nijārthaṁ rājatvapadaṁ gṛhītvā punarāgantuṁ dūradeśaṁ jagāma|
13 [Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
yātrākāle nijān daśadāsān āhūya daśasvarṇamudrā dattvā mamāgamanaparyyantaṁ vāṇijyaṁ kurutetyādideśa|
14 But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
kintu tasya prajāstamavajñāya manuṣyamenam asmākamupari rājatvaṁ na kārayivyāma imāṁ vārttāṁ tannikaṭe prerayāmāsuḥ|
15 But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
atha sa rājatvapadaṁ prāpyāgatavān ekaiko jano bāṇijyena kiṁ labdhavān iti jñātuṁ yeṣu dāseṣu mudrā arpayat tān āhūyānetum ādideśa|
16 The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
tadā prathama āgatya kathitavān, he prabho tava tayaikayā mudrayā daśamudrā labdhāḥ|
17 He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
tataḥ sa uvāca tvamuttamo dāsaḥ svalpena viśvāsyo jāta itaḥ kāraṇāt tvaṁ daśanagarāṇām adhipo bhava|
18 Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
dvitīya āgatya kathitavān, he prabho tavaikayā mudrayā pañcamudrā labdhāḥ|
19 He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
tataḥ sa uvāca, tvaṁ pañcānāṁ nagarāṇāmadhipati rbhava|
20 Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
tatonya āgatya kathayāmāsa, he prabho paśya tava yā mudrā ahaṁ vastre baddhvāsthāpayaṁ seyaṁ|
21 I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
tvaṁ kṛpaṇo yannāsthāpayastadapi gṛhlāsi, yannāvapastadeva ca chinatsi tatohaṁ tvatto bhītaḥ|
22 The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
tadā sa jagāda, re duṣṭadāsa tava vākyena tvāṁ doṣiṇaṁ kariṣyāmi, yadahaṁ nāsthāpayaṁ tadeva gṛhlāmi, yadahaṁ nāvapañca tadeva chinadmi, etādṛśaḥ kṛpaṇohamiti yadi tvaṁ jānāsi,
23 So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
tarhi mama mudrā baṇijāṁ nikaṭe kuto nāsthāpayaḥ? tayā kṛte'ham āgatya kusīdena sārddhaṁ nijamudrā aprāpsyam|
24 Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
paścāt sa samīpasthān janān ājñāpayat asmāt mudrā ānīya yasya daśamudrāḥ santi tasmai datta|
25 They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
te procuḥ prabho'sya daśamudrāḥ santi|
26 [But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi yasyāśraye vaddhate 'dhikaṁ tasmai dāyiṣyate, kintu yasyāśraye na varddhate tasya yadyadasti tadapi tasmān nāyiṣyate|
27 Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
kintu mamādhipatitvasya vaśatve sthātum asammanyamānā ye mama ripavastānānīya mama samakṣaṁ saṁharata|
28 After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
ityupadeśakathāṁ kathayitvā sogragaḥ san yirūśālamapuraṁ yayau|
29 When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
tato baitphagībaithanīyāgrāmayoḥ samīpe jaitunādrerantikam itvā śiṣyadvayam ityuktvā preṣayāmāsa,
30 he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
yuvāmamuṁ sammukhasthagrāmaṁ praviśyaiva yaṁ kopi mānuṣaḥ kadāpi nārohat taṁ garddabhaśāvakaṁ baddhaṁ drakṣyathastaṁ mocayitvānayataṁ|
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
tatra kuto mocayathaḥ? iti cet kopi vakṣyati tarhi vakṣyathaḥ prabheratra prayojanam āste|
32 [So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
tadā tau praritau gatvā tatkathānusāreṇa sarvvaṁ prāptau|
33 As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
gardabhaśāvakamocanakāle tatvāmina ūcuḥ, gardabhaśāvakaṁ kuto mocayathaḥ?
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
tāvūcatuḥ prabhoratra prayojanam āste|
35 The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
paścāt tau taṁ gardabhaśāvakaṁ yīśorantikamānīya tatpṛṣṭhe nijavasanāni pātayitvā tadupari yīśumārohayāmāsatuḥ|
36 Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
atha yātrākāle lokāḥ pathi svavastrāṇi pātayitum ārebhire|
37 As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
aparaṁ jaitunādrerupatyakām itvā śiṣyasaṁghaḥ pūrvvadṛṣṭāni mahākarmmāṇi smṛtvā,
38 They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
yo rājā prabho rnāmnāyāti sa dhanyaḥ svarge kuśalaṁ sarvvocce jayadhvani rbhavatu, kathāmetāṁ kathayitvā sānandam ucairīśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vaktumārebhe|
39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
tadā lokāraṇyamadhyasthāḥ kiyantaḥ phirūśinastat śrutvā yīśuṁ procuḥ, he upadeśaka svaśiṣyān tarjaya|
40 He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
sa uvāca, yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi yadyamī nīravāstiṣṭhanti tarhi pāṣāṇā ucaiḥ kathāḥ kathayiṣyanti|
41 When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
paścāt tatpurāntikametya tadavalokya sāśrupātaṁ jagāda,
42 He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
hā hā cet tvamagre'jñāsyathāḥ, tavāsminneva dine vā yadi svamaṅgalam upālapsyathāḥ, tarhyuttamam abhaviṣyat, kintu kṣaṇesmin tattava dṛṣṭeragocaram bhavati|
43 I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
tvaṁ svatrāṇakāle na mano nyadhatthā iti heto ryatkāle tava ripavastvāṁ caturdikṣu prācīreṇa veṣṭayitvā rotsyanti
44 They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
bālakaiḥ sārddhaṁ bhūmisāt kariṣyanti ca tvanmadhye pāṣāṇaikopi pāṣāṇopari na sthāsyati ca, kāla īdṛśa upasthāsyati|
45 [Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
atha madhyemandiraṁ praviśya tatratyān krayivikrayiṇo bahiṣkurvvan
46 and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
avadat madgṛhaṁ prārthanāgṛhamiti lipirāste kintu yūyaṁ tadeva cairāṇāṁ gahvaraṁ kurutha|
47 Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
paścāt sa pratyahaṁ madhyemandiram upadideśa; tataḥ pradhānayājakā adhyāpakāḥ prācīnāśca taṁ nāśayituṁ ciceṣṭire;
48 But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
kintu tadupadeśe sarvve lokā niviṣṭacittāḥ sthitāstasmāt te tatkarttuṁ nāvakāśaṁ prāpuḥ|
