लूका 14
1 १ फिर वह सब्त के दिन फरीसियों के सरदारों में से किसी के घर में रोटी खाने गया: और वे उसकी घात में थे।
When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 ५ और उनसे कहा, “तुम में से ऐसा कौन है, जिसका पुत्र या बैल कुएँ में गिर जाए और वह सब्त के दिन उसे तुरन्त बाहर न निकाल ले?”
He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
They could not answer him regarding these things.
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 ८ “जब कोई तुझे विवाह में बुलाए, तो मुख्य जगह में न बैठना, कहीं ऐसा न हो, कि उसने तुझ से भी किसी बड़े को नेवता दिया हो।
“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
9 ९ और जिसने तुझे और उसे दोनों को नेवता दिया है, आकर तुझ से कहे, ‘इसको जगह दे,’ और तब तुझे लज्जित होकर सबसे नीची जगह में बैठना पड़े।
and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
10 १० पर जब तू बुलाया जाए, तो सबसे नीची जगह जा बैठ, कि जब वह, जिसने तुझे नेवता दिया है आए, तो तुझ से कहे ‘हे मित्र, आगे बढ़कर बैठ,’ तब तेरे साथ बैठनेवालों के सामने तेरी बड़ाई होगी।
But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
11 ११ क्योंकि जो कोई अपने आपको बड़ा बनाएगा, वह छोटा किया जाएगा; और जो कोई अपने आपको छोटा बनाएगा, वह बड़ा किया जाएगा।”
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 १२ तब उसने अपने नेवता देनेवाले से भी कहा, “जब तू दिन का या रात का भोज करे, तो अपने मित्रों या भाइयों या कुटुम्बियों या धनवान पड़ोसियों को न बुला, कहीं ऐसा न हो, कि वे भी तुझे नेवता दें, और तेरा बदला हो जाए।
He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 १४ तब तू धन्य होगा, क्योंकि उनके पास तुझे बदला देने को कुछ नहीं, परन्तु तुझे धर्मियों के जी उठनेपर इसका प्रतिफल मिलेगा।”
and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 १५ उसके साथ भोजन करनेवालों में से एक ने ये बातें सुनकर उससे कहा, “धन्य है वह, जो परमेश्वर के राज्य में रोटी खाएगा।”
When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 १७ जब भोजन तैयार हो गया, तो उसने अपने दास के हाथ आमन्त्रित लोगों को कहला भेजा, ‘आओ; अब भोजन तैयार है।’
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 १८ पर वे सब के सब क्षमा माँगने लगे, पहले ने उससे कहा, ‘मैंने खेत मोल लिया है, और अवश्य है कि उसे देखूँ; मैं तुझ से विनती करता हूँ, मुझे क्षमा कर दे।’
They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
19 १९ दूसरे ने कहा, ‘मैंने पाँच जोड़े बैल मोल लिए हैं, और उन्हें परखने जा रहा हूँ; मैं तुझ से विनती करता हूँ, मुझे क्षमा कर दे।’
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
21 २१ उस दास ने आकर अपने स्वामी को ये बातें कह सुनाईं। तब घर के स्वामी ने क्रोध में आकर अपने दास से कहा, ‘नगर के बाजारों और गलियों में तुरन्त जाकर कंगालों, टुण्डों, लँगड़ों और अंधों को यहाँ ले आओ।’
“That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 २३ स्वामी ने दास से कहा, ‘सड़कों पर और बाड़ों की ओर जाकर लोगों को बरबस ले ही आ ताकि मेरा घर भर जाए।
“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 २६ “यदि कोई मेरे पास आए, और अपने पिता और माता और पत्नी और बच्चों और भाइयों और बहनों वरन् अपने प्राण को भी अप्रिय न जाने, तो वह मेरा चेला नहीं हो सकता;
“If anyone comes to me, and does not disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 २८ “तुम में से कौन है कि गढ़ बनाना चाहता हो, और पहले बैठकर खर्च न जोड़े, कि पूरा करने की सामर्थ्य मेरे पास है कि नहीं?
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
31 ३१ या कौन ऐसा राजा है, कि दूसरे राजा से युद्ध करने जाता हो, और पहले बैठकर विचार न कर ले कि जो बीस हजार लेकर मुझ पर चढ़ा आता है, क्या मैं दस हजार लेकर उसका सामना कर सकता हूँ, कि नहीं?
Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
So therefore, whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 ३५ वह न तो भूमि के और न खाद के लिये काम में आता है: उसे तो लोग बाहर फेंक देते हैं। जिसके सुनने के कान हों वह सुन ले।”
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
