लूकः 18
1 अपरञ्च लोकैरक्लान्तै र्निरन्तरं प्रार्थयितव्यम् इत्याशयेन यीशुना दृष्टान्त एकः कथितः।
And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
2 कुत्रचिन्नगरे कश्चित् प्राड्विवाक आसीत् स ईश्वरान्नाबिभेत् मानुषांश्च नामन्यत।
saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
3 अथ तत्पुरवासिनी काचिद्विधवा तत्समीपमेत्य विवादिना सह मम विवादं परिष्कुर्व्विति निवेदयामास।
and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
4 ततः स प्राड्विवाकः कियद्दिनानि न तदङ्गीकृतवान् पश्चाच्चित्ते चिन्तयामास, यद्यपीश्वरान्न बिभेमि मनुष्यानपि न मन्ये
And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
5 तथाप्येषा विधवा मां क्लिश्नाति तस्मादस्या विवादं परिष्करिष्यामि नोचेत् सा सदागत्य मां व्यग्रं करिष्यति।
at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
6 पश्चात् प्रभुरवदद् असावन्यायप्राड्विवाको यदाह तत्र मनो निधध्वं।
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7 ईश्वरस्य ये ऽभिरुचितलोका दिवानिशं प्रार्थयन्ते स बहुदिनानि विलम्ब्यापि तेषां विवादान् किं न परिष्करिष्यति?
And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to 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. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?
9 ये स्वान् धार्म्मिकान् ज्ञात्वा परान् तुच्छीकुर्व्वन्ति एतादृग्भ्यः, कियद्भ्य इमं दृष्टान्तं कथयामास।
And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:
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 tax-gatherer.
11 ततोऽसौ फिरूश्येकपार्श्वे तिष्ठन् हे ईश्वर अहमन्यलोकवत् लोठयितान्यायी पारदारिकश्च न भवामि अस्य करसञ्चायिनस्तुल्यश्च न, तस्मात्त्वां धन्यं वदामि।
The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
12 सप्तसु दिनेषु दिनद्वयमुपवसामि सर्व्वसम्पत्ते र्दशमांशं ददामि च, एतत्कथां कथयन् प्रार्थयामास।
I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
13 किन्तु स करसञ्चायि दूरे तिष्ठन् स्वर्गं द्रष्टुं नेच्छन् वक्षसि कराघातं कुर्व्वन् हे ईश्वर पापिष्ठं मां दयस्व, इत्थं प्रार्थयामास।
And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the 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 that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15 अथ शिशूनां गात्रस्पर्शार्थं लोकास्तान् तस्य समीपमानिन्युः शिष्यास्तद् दृष्ट्वानेतृन् तर्जयामासुः,
And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.
16 किन्तु यीशुस्तानाहूय जगाद, मन्निकटम् आगन्तुं शिशून् अनुजानीध्वं तांश्च मा वारयत; यत ईश्वरराज्याधिकारिण एषां सदृशाः।
But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is 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 to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 यीशुरुवाच, मां कुतः परमं वदसि? ईश्वरं विना कोपि परमो न भवति।
But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, 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, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 तदा स उवाच, बाल्यकालात् सर्व्वा एता आचरामि।
And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
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 had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.
23 किन्त्वेतां कथां श्रुत्वा सोधिपतिः शुशोच, यतस्तस्य बहुधनमासीत्।
But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 तदा यीशुस्तमतिशोकान्वितं दृष्ट्वा जगाद, धनवताम् ईश्वरराज्यप्रवेशः कीदृग् दुष्करः।
But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who 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 through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 श्रोतारः पप्रच्छुस्तर्हि केन परित्राणं प्राप्स्यते?
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 स उक्तवान्, यन् मानुषेणाशक्यं तद् ईश्वरेण शक्यं।
But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 तदा पितर उवाच, पश्य वयं सर्व्वस्वं परित्यज्य तव पश्चाद्गामिनोऽभवाम।
And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
29 ततः स उवाच, युष्मानहं यथार्थं वदामि, ईश्वरराज्यार्थं गृहं पितरौ भ्रातृगणं जायां सन्तानांश्च त्यक्तवा
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, 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 the twelve to [him] and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;
32 वस्तुतस्तु सोऽन्यदेशीयानां हस्तेषु समर्पयिष्यते, ते तमुपहसिष्यन्ति, अन्यायमाचरिष्यन्ति तद्वपुषि निष्ठीवं निक्षेप्स्यन्ति, कशाभिः प्रहृत्य तं हनिष्यन्ति च,
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.
33 किन्तु तृतीयदिने स श्मशानाद् उत्थास्यति।
And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
34 एतस्याः कथाया अभिप्रायं किञ्चिदपि ते बोद्धुं न शेकुः तेषां निकटेऽस्पष्टतवात् तस्यैतासां कथानाम् आशयं ते ज्ञातुं न शेकुश्च।
And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.
35 अथ तस्मिन् यिरीहोः पुरस्यान्तिकं प्राप्ते कश्चिदन्धः पथः पार्श्व उपविश्य भिक्षाम् अकरोत्
And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.
36 स लोकसमूहस्य गमनशब्दं श्रुत्वा तत्कारणं पृष्टवान्।
And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.
37 नासरतीययीशुर्यातीति लोकैरुक्ते स उच्चैर्वक्तुमारेभे,
And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.
38 हे दायूदः सन्तान यीशो मां दयस्व।
And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 ततोग्रगामिनस्तं मौनी तिष्ठेति तर्जयामासुः किन्तु स पुनारुवन् उवाच, हे दायूदः सन्तान मां दयस्व।
And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 तदा यीशुः स्थगितो भूत्वा स्वान्तिके तमानेतुम् आदिदेश।
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],
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 shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
42 तदा यीशुरुवाच, दृष्टिशक्तिं गृहाण तव प्रत्ययस्त्वां स्वस्थं कृतवान्।
And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.
43 ततस्तत्क्षणात् तस्य चक्षुषी प्रसन्ने; तस्मात् स ईश्वरं धन्यं वदन् तत्पश्चाद् ययौ, तदालोक्य सर्व्वे लोका ईश्वरं प्रशंसितुम् आरेभिरे।
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.
