lUkaH 18
1 aparaJca lokairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAzayena yIzunA dRSTAnta ekaH kathitaH|
And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 kutracinnagare kazcit prADvivAka AsIt sa IzvarAnnAbibhet mAnuSAMzca nAmanyata|
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 atha tatpuravAsinI kAcidvidhavA tatsamIpametya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariSkurvviti nivedayAmAsa|
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 tataH sa prADvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tadaGgIkRtavAn pazcAccitte cintayAmAsa, yadyapIzvarAnna bibhemi manuSyAnapi na manye
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 tathApyeSA vidhavA mAM kliznAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariSkariSyAmi nocet sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariSyati|
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 pazcAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprADvivAko yadAha tatra mano nidhadhvaM|
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 Izvarasya ye 'bhirucitalokA divAnizaM prArthayante sa bahudinAni vilambyApi teSAM vivAdAn kiM na pariSkariSyati?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 yuSmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariSkariSyati, kintu yadA manuSyaputra AgamiSyati tadA pRthivyAM kimIdRzaM vizvAsaM prApsyati?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 ye svAn dhArmmikAn jJAtvA parAn tucchIkurvvanti etAdRgbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dRSTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 ekaH phirUzyaparaH karasaJcAyI dvAvimau prArthayituM mandiraM gatau|
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 tato'sau phirUzyekapArzve tiSThan he Izvara ahamanyalokavat loThayitAnyAyI pAradArikazca na bhavAmi asya karasaJcAyinastulyazca na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 saptasu dineSu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampatte rdazamAMzaM dadAmi ca, etatkathAM kathayan prArthayAmAsa|
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 kintu sa karasaJcAyi dUre tiSThan svargaM draSTuM necchan vakSasi karAghAtaM kurvvan he Izvara pApiSThaM mAM dayasva, itthaM prArthayAmAsa|
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, tayordvayo rmadhye kevalaH karasaJcAyI puNyavattvena gaNito nijagRhaM jagAma, yato yaH kazcit svamunnamayati sa nAmayiSyate kintu yaH kazcit svaM namayati sa unnamayiSyate|
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 atha zizUnAM gAtrasparzArthaM lokAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH ziSyAstad dRSTvAnetRn tarjayAmAsuH,
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
16 kintu yIzustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM zizUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMzca mA vArayata; yata IzvararAjyAdhikAriNa eSAM sadRzAH|
But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 ahaM yuSmAn yathArthaM vadAmi, yo janaH zizoH sadRzo bhUtvA IzvararAjyaM na gRhlAti sa kenApi prakAreNa tat praveSTuM na zaknoti|
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 aparam ekodhipatistaM papraccha, he paramaguro, anantAyuSaH prAptaye mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 yIzuruvAca, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IzvaraM vinA kopi paramo na bhavati|
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.
20 paradArAn mA gaccha, naraM mA jahi, mA coraya, mithyAsAkSyaM mA dehi, mAtaraM pitaraJca saMmanyasva, etA yA AjJAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
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 tadA sa uvAca, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA etA AcarAmi|
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 iti kathAM zrutvA yIzustamavadat, tathApi tavaikaM karmma nyUnamAste, nijaM sarvvasvaM vikrIya daridrebhyo vitara, tasmAt svarge dhanaM prApsyasi; tata Agatya mamAnugAmI bhava|
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 kintvetAM kathAM zrutvA sodhipatiH zuzoca, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 tadA yIzustamatizokAnvitaM dRSTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IzvararAjyapravezaH kIdRg duSkaraH|
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 IzvararAjye dhaninaH pravezAt sUcezchidreNa mahAGgasya gamanAgamane sukare|
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 zrotAraH papracchustarhi kena paritrANaM prApsyate?
And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?
27 sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSeNAzakyaM tad IzvareNa zakyaM|
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 tadA pitara uvAca, pazya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pazcAdgAmino'bhavAma|
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 tataH sa uvAca, yuSmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi, IzvararAjyArthaM gRhaM pitarau bhrAtRgaNaM jAyAM santAnAMzca tyaktavA
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
31 anantaraM sa dvAdazaziSyAnAhUya babhASe, pazyata vayaM yirUzAlamnagaraM yAmaH, tasmAt manuSyaputre bhaviSyadvAdibhiruktaM yadasti tadanurUpaM taM prati ghaTiSyate;
Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 vastutastu so'nyadezIyAnAM hasteSu samarpayiSyate, te tamupahasiSyanti, anyAyamAcariSyanti tadvapuSi niSThIvaM nikSepsyanti, kazAbhiH prahRtya taM haniSyanti ca,
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 kintu tRtIyadine sa zmazAnAd utthAsyati|
And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 etasyAH kathAyA abhiprAyaM kiJcidapi te boddhuM na zekuH teSAM nikaTe'spaSTatavAt tasyaitAsAM kathAnAm AzayaM te jJAtuM na zekuzca|
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 atha tasmin yirIhoH purasyAntikaM prApte kazcidandhaH pathaH pArzva upavizya bhikSAm akarot
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 sa lokasamUhasya gamanazabdaM zrutvA tatkAraNaM pRSTavAn|
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 nAsaratIyayIzuryAtIti lokairukte sa uccairvaktumArebhe,
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 he dAyUdaH santAna yIzo mAM dayasva|
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 tatogragAminastaM maunI tiSTheti tarjayAmAsuH kintu sa punAruvan uvAca, he dAyUdaH santAna mAM dayasva|
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 tadA yIzuH sthagito bhUtvA svAntike tamAnetum Adideza|
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 tataH sa tasyAntikam Agamat, tadA sa taM papraccha, tvaM kimicchasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariSyAmi? sa uktavAn, he prabho'haM draSTuM labhai|
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 tadA yIzuruvAca, dRSTizaktiM gRhANa tava pratyayastvAM svasthaM kRtavAn|
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 tatastatkSaNAt tasya cakSuSI prasanne; tasmAt sa IzvaraM dhanyaM vadan tatpazcAd yayau, tadAlokya sarvve lokA IzvaraM prazaMsitum Arebhire|
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto God.
