लूकः 18
1 अपरञ्च लोकैरक्लान्तै र्निरन्तरं प्रार्थयितव्यम् इत्याशयेन यीशुना दृष्टान्त एकः कथितः।
And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 कुत्रचिन्नगरे कश्चित् प्राड्विवाक आसीत् स ईश्वरान्नाबिभेत् मानुषांश्च नामन्यत।
saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:
3 अथ तत्पुरवासिनी काचिद्विधवा तत्समीपमेत्य विवादिना सह मम विवादं परिष्कुर्व्विति निवेदयामास।
and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 ततः स प्राड्विवाकः कियद्दिनानि न तदङ्गीकृतवान् पश्चाच्चित्ते चिन्तयामास, यद्यपीश्वरान्न बिभेमि मनुष्यानपि न मन्ये
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 तथाप्येषा विधवा मां क्लिश्नाति तस्मादस्या विवादं परिष्करिष्यामि नोचेत् सा सदागत्य मां व्यग्रं करिष्यति।
yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
6 पश्चात् प्रभुरवदद् असावन्यायप्राड्विवाको यदाह तत्र मनो निधध्वं।
And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith.
7 ईश्वरस्य ये ऽभिरुचितलोका दिवानिशं प्रार्थयन्ते स बहुदिनानि विलम्ब्यापि तेषां विवादान् किं न परिष्करिष्यति?
And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and [yet] he is longsuffering over them?
8 युष्मानहं वदामि त्वरया परिष्करिष्यति, किन्तु यदा मनुष्यपुत्र आगमिष्यति तदा पृथिव्यां किमीदृशं विश्वासं प्राप्स्यति?
I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 ये स्वान् धार्म्मिकान् ज्ञात्वा परान् तुच्छीकुर्व्वन्ति एतादृग्भ्यः, कियद्भ्य इमं दृष्टान्तं कथयामास।
And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:
10 एकः फिरूश्यपरः करसञ्चायी द्वाविमौ प्रार्थयितुं मन्दिरं गतौ।
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 ततोऽसौ फिरूश्येकपार्श्वे तिष्ठन् हे ईश्वर अहमन्यलोकवत् लोठयितान्यायी पारदारिकश्च न भवामि अस्य करसञ्चायिनस्तुल्यश्च न, तस्मात्त्वां धन्यं वदामि।
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 सप्तसु दिनेषु दिनद्वयमुपवसामि सर्व्वसम्पत्ते र्दशमांशं ददामि च, एतत्कथां कथयन् प्रार्थयामास।
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
13 किन्तु स करसञ्चायि दूरे तिष्ठन् स्वर्गं द्रष्टुं नेच्छन् वक्षसि कराघातं कुर्व्वन् हे ईश्वर पापिष्ठं मां दयस्व, इत्थं प्रार्थयामास।
But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.
14 युष्मानहं वदामि, तयोर्द्वयो र्मध्ये केवलः करसञ्चायी पुण्यवत्त्वेन गणितो निजगृहं जगाम, यतो यः कश्चित् स्वमुन्नमयति स नामयिष्यते किन्तु यः कश्चित् स्वं नमयति स उन्नमयिष्यते।
I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 अथ शिशूनां गात्रस्पर्शार्थं लोकास्तान् तस्य समीपमानिन्युः शिष्यास्तद् दृष्ट्वानेतृन् तर्जयामासुः,
And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 किन्तु यीशुस्तानाहूय जगाद, मन्निकटम् आगन्तुं शिशून् अनुजानीध्वं तांश्च मा वारयत; यत ईश्वरराज्याधिकारिण एषां सदृशाः।
But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
17 अहं युष्मान् यथार्थं वदामि, यो जनः शिशोः सदृशो भूत्वा ईश्वरराज्यं न गृह्लाति स केनापि प्रकारेण तत् प्रवेष्टुं न शक्नोति।
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein.
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 यीशुरुवाच, मां कुतः परमं वदसि? ईश्वरं विना कोपि परमो न भवति।
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, [even] God.
20 परदारान् मा गच्छ, नरं मा जहि, मा चोरय, मिथ्यासाक्ष्यं मा देहि, मातरं पितरञ्च संमन्यस्व, एता या आज्ञाः सन्ति तास्त्वं जानासि।
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother.
21 तदा स उवाच, बाल्यकालात् सर्व्वा एता आचरामि।
And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up.
22 इति कथां श्रुत्वा यीशुस्तमवदत्, तथापि तवैकं कर्म्म न्यूनमास्ते, निजं सर्व्वस्वं विक्रीय दरिद्रेभ्यो वितर, तस्मात् स्वर्गे धनं प्राप्स्यसि; तत आगत्य ममानुगामी भव।
And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 किन्त्वेतां कथां श्रुत्वा सोधिपतिः शुशोच, यतस्तस्य बहुधनमासीत्।
But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 तदा यीशुस्तमतिशोकान्वितं दृष्ट्वा जगाद, धनवताम् ईश्वरराज्यप्रवेशः कीदृग् दुष्करः।
And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 ईश्वरराज्ये धनिनः प्रवेशात् सूचेश्छिद्रेण महाङ्गस्य गमनागमने सुकरे।
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 श्रोतारः पप्रच्छुस्तर्हि केन परित्राणं प्राप्स्यते?
And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?
27 स उक्तवान्, यन् मानुषेणाशक्यं तद् ईश्वरेण शक्यं।
But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 तदा पितर उवाच, पश्य वयं सर्व्वस्वं परित्यज्य तव पश्चाद्गामिनोऽभवाम।
And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.
29 ततः स उवाच, युष्मानहं यथार्थं वदामि, ईश्वरराज्यार्थं गृहं पितरौ भ्रातृगणं जायां सन्तानांश्च त्यक्तवा
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 अनन्तरं स द्वादशशिष्यानाहूय बभाषे, पश्यत वयं यिरूशालम्नगरं यामः, तस्मात् मनुष्यपुत्रे भविष्यद्वादिभिरुक्तं यदस्ति तदनुरूपं तं प्रति घटिष्यते;
And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.
32 वस्तुतस्तु सोऽन्यदेशीयानां हस्तेषु समर्पयिष्यते, ते तमुपहसिष्यन्ति, अन्यायमाचरिष्यन्ति तद्वपुषि निष्ठीवं निक्षेप्स्यन्ति, कशाभिः प्रहृत्य तं हनिष्यन्ति च,
For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:
33 किन्तु तृतीयदिने स श्मशानाद् उत्थास्यति।
and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 एतस्याः कथाया अभिप्रायं किञ्चिदपि ते बोद्धुं न शेकुः तेषां निकटेऽस्पष्टतवात् तस्यैतासां कथानाम् आशयं ते ज्ञातुं न शेकुश्च।
And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.
35 अथ तस्मिन् यिरीहोः पुरस्यान्तिकं प्राप्ते कश्चिदन्धः पथः पार्श्व उपविश्य भिक्षाम् अकरोत्
And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 स लोकसमूहस्य गमनशब्दं श्रुत्वा तत्कारणं पृष्टवान्।
and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
37 नासरतीययीशुर्यातीति लोकैरुक्ते स उच्चैर्वक्तुमारेभे,
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 हे दायूदः सन्तान यीशो मां दयस्व।
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 ततोग्रगामिनस्तं मौनी तिष्ठेति तर्जयामासुः किन्तु स पुनारुवन् उवाच, हे दायूदः सन्तान मां दयस्व।
And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 तदा यीशुः स्थगितो भूत्वा स्वान्तिके तमानेतुम् आदिदेश।
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 ततः स तस्यान्तिकम् आगमत्, तदा स तं पप्रच्छ, त्वं किमिच्छसि? त्वदर्थमहं किं करिष्यामि? स उक्तवान्, हे प्रभोऽहं द्रष्टुं लभै।
What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 तदा यीशुरुवाच, दृष्टिशक्तिं गृहाण तव प्रत्ययस्त्वां स्वस्थं कृतवान्।
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 ततस्तत्क्षणात् तस्य चक्षुषी प्रसन्ने; तस्मात् स ईश्वरं धन्यं वदन् तत्पश्चाद् ययौ, तदालोक्य सर्व्वे लोका ईश्वरं प्रशंसितुम् आरेभिरे।
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
