Luke 17
1 Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!
itaH paraM yIzuH ziSyAn uvAca, vighnairavazyam AgantavyaM kintu vighnA yena ghaTiSyante tasya durgati rbhaviSyati|
2 It would be well for him if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.
eteSAM kSudraprANinAm ekasyApi vighnajananAt kaNThabaddhapeSaNIkasya tasya sAgarAgAdhajale majjanaM bhadraM|
3 Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;
yUyaM sveSu sAvadhAnAstiSThata; tava bhrAtA yadi tava kiJcid aparAdhyati tarhi taM tarjaya, tena yadi manaH parivarttayati tarhi taM kSamasva|
4 and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."
punarekadinamadhye yadi sa tava saptakRtvo'parAdhyati kintu saptakRtva Agatya manaH parivartya mayAparAddham iti vadati tarhi taM kSamasva|
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
tadA preritAH prabhum avadan asmAkaM vizvAsaM varddhaya|
6 "If your faith," replied the Lord, "is like a mustard seed, you might command this black-mulberry-tree, 'Tear up your roots and plant yourself in the sea,' and instantly it would obey you.
prabhuruvAca, yadi yuSmAkaM sarSapaikapramANo vizvAsosti tarhi tvaM samUlamutpATito bhUtvA samudre ropito bhava kathAyAm etasyAm etaduDumbarAya kathitAyAM sa yuSmAkamAjJAvaho bhaviSyati|
7 But which of you who has a servant ploughing, or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the farm, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'
aparaM svadAse halaM vAhayitvA vA pazUn cArayitvA kSetrAd Agate sati taM vadati, ehi bhoktumupaviza, yuSmAkam etAdRzaH kosti?
8 and will not rather say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, make yourself tidy, and wait upon me till I have finished my dinner, and then you shall have yours'?
varaJca pUrvvaM mama khAdyamAsAdya yAvad bhuJje pivAmi ca tAvad baddhakaTiH paricara pazcAt tvamapi bhokSyase pAsyasi ca kathAmIdRzIM kiM na vakSyati?
9 Does he thank the servant for obeying his orders?
tena dAsena prabhorAjJAnurUpe karmmaNi kRte prabhuH kiM tasmin bAdhito jAtaH? netthaM budhyate mayA|
10 So you also, when you have obeyed all the orders given you, must say, "'There is no merit in our service: what we have done is only what we were in duty bound to do.'"

11 As they pursued their journey to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
sa yirUzAlami yAtrAM kurvvan zomiroNgAlIlpradezamadhyena gacchati,
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were lepers and stood at a distance.
etarhi kutracid grAme pravezamAtre dazakuSThinastaM sAkSAt kRtvA
13 In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity on us."
dUre tiSThanata uccai rvaktumArebhire, he prabho yIzo dayasvAsmAn|
14 Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they were made clean.
tataH sa tAn dRSTvA jagAda, yUyaM yAjakAnAM samIpe svAn darzayata, tataste gacchanto rogAt pariSkRtAH|
15 One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and praising God in a loud voice,
tadA teSAmekaH svaM svasthaM dRSTvA proccairIzvaraM dhanyaM vadan vyAghuTyAyAto yIzo rguNAnanuvadan taccaraNAdhobhUmau papAta;
16 and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him. He was a Samaritan.

17 "Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but where are the nine?
tadA yIzuravadat, dazajanAH kiM na pariSkRtAH? tahyanye navajanAH kutra?
18 Have none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
IzvaraM dhanyaM vadantam enaM videzinaM vinA kopyanyo na prApyata|
19 And He said to him, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
tadA sa tamuvAca, tvamutthAya yAhi vizvAsaste tvAM svasthaM kRtavAn|
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.
atha kadezvarasya rAjatvaM bhaviSyatIti phirUzibhiH pRSTe sa pratyuvAca, Izvarasya rAjatvam aizvaryyadarzanena na bhaviSyati|
21 Nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' --for the Kingdom of God is within you."
ata etasmin pazya tasmin vA pazya, iti vAkyaM lokA vaktuM na zakSyanti, Izvarasya rAjatvaM yuSmAkam antarevAste|
22 Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
tataH sa ziSyAn jagAda, yadA yuSmAbhi rmanujasutasya dinamekaM draSTum vAJchiSyate kintu na darziSyate, IdRkkAla AyAti|
23 And they will say to you, 'See there!' 'See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.

24 For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.
yatastaDid yathAkAzaikadizyudiya tadanyAmapi dizaM vyApya prakAzate tadvat nijadine manujasUnuH prakAziSyate|
25 But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the present generation.

26 "And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time of the Son of Man.
nohasya vidyamAnakAle yathAbhavat manuSyasUnoH kAlepi tathA bhaviSyati|
27 Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.
yAvatkAlaM noho mahApotaM nArohad AplAvivAryyetya sarvvaM nAnAzayacca tAvatkAlaM yathA lokA abhuJjatApivan vyavahan vyavAhayaMzca;
28 The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
itthaM loTo varttamAnakAlepi yathA lokA bhojanapAnakrayavikrayaropaNagRhanirmmANakarmmasu prAvarttanta,
29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all.

30 Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from the Son of Man.
tadvan mAnavaputraprakAzadinepi bhaviSyati|
31 "On that day, if a man is on the roof and his property indoors, let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way, he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
tadA yadi kazcid gRhopari tiSThati tarhi sa gRhamadhyAt kimapi dravyamAnetum avaruhya naitu; yazca kSetre tiSThati sopi vyAghuTya nAyAtu|
32 Remember Lot's wife.
loTaH patnIM smarata|
33 Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34 On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken away and the other left behind.
yuSmAnahaM vacmi tasyAM rAtrau zayyaikagatayo rlokayoreko dhAriSyate parastyakSyate|
35 There will be two women turning the mill together: one will be taken away and the other left behind."

37 "Where, Master?" they inquired. "Where the dead body is," He replied, "there also will the vultures flock together."
