lūkaḥ 10
1 tataḥ paraṁ prabhuraparān saptatiśiṣyān niyujya svayaṁ yāni nagarāṇi yāni sthānāni ca gamiṣyati tāni nagarāṇi tāni sthānāni ca prati dvau dvau janau prahitavān|
Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2 tebhyaḥ kathayāmāsa ca śasyāni bahūnīti satyaṁ kintu chedakā alpe; tasmāddhetoḥ śasyakṣetre chedakān aparānapi preṣayituṁ kṣetrasvāminaṁ prārthayadhvaṁ|
And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3 yūyaṁ yāta, paśyata, vṛkāṇāṁ madhye meṣaśāvakāniva yuṣmān prahiṇomi|
Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 yūyaṁ kṣudraṁ mahad vā vasanasampuṭakaṁ pādukāśca mā gṛhlīta, mārgamadhye kamapi mā namata ca|
Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5 aparañca yūyaṁ yad yat niveśanaṁ praviśatha tatra niveśanasyāsya maṅgalaṁ bhūyāditi vākyaṁ prathamaṁ vadata|
Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6 tasmāt tasmin niveśane yadi maṅgalapātraṁ sthāsyati tarhi tanmaṅgalaṁ tasya bhaviṣyati, nocet yuṣmān prati parāvarttiṣyate|
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7 aparañca te yatkiñcid dāsyanti tadeva bhuktvā pītvā tasminniveśane sthāsyatha; yataḥ karmmakārī jano bhṛtim arhati; gṛhād gṛhaṁ mā yāsyatha|
And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8 anyacca yuṣmāsu kimapi nagaraṁ praviṣṭeṣu lokā yadi yuṣmākam ātithyaṁ kariṣyanti, tarhi yat khādyam upasthāsyanti tadeva khādiṣyatha|
And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9 tannagarasthān rogiṇaḥ svasthān kariṣyatha, īśvarīyaṁ rājyaṁ yuṣmākam antikam āgamat kathāmetāñca pracārayiṣyatha|
And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10 kintu kimapi puraṁ yuṣmāsu praviṣṭeṣu lokā yadi yuṣmākam ātithyaṁ na kariṣyanti, tarhi tasya nagarasya panthānaṁ gatvā kathāmetāṁ vadiṣyatha,
But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11 yuṣmākaṁ nagarīyā yā dhūlyo'smāsu samalagan tā api yuṣmākaṁ prātikūlyena sākṣyārthaṁ sampātayāmaḥ; tathāpīśvararājyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpam āgatam iti niścitaṁ jānīta|
‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12 ahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi, vicāradine tasya nagarasya daśātaḥ sidomo daśā sahyā bhaviṣyati|
I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
13 hā hā korāsīn nagara, hā hā baitsaidānagara yuvayormadhye yādṛśāni āścaryyāṇi karmmāṇyakriyanta, tāni karmmāṇi yadi sorasīdono rnagarayorakāriṣyanta, tadā ito bahudinapūrvvaṁ tannivāsinaḥ śaṇavastrāṇi paridhāya gātreṣu bhasma vilipya samupaviśya samakhetsyanta|
Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that have been wrought in you, had been wrought in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in haircloth and ashes.
14 ato vicāradivase yuṣmākaṁ daśātaḥ sorasīdonnivāsināṁ daśā sahyā bhaviṣyati|
Yet truly, Tyre and Sidon will be forgiven more in the judgment than you will be.
And as for you, Capernaum, who would be exalted even up to Heaven: you shall be submerged into Hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 yo jano yuṣmākaṁ vākyaṁ gṛhlāti sa mamaiva vākyaṁ gṛhlāti; kiñca yo jano yuṣmākam avajñāṁ karoti sa mamaivāvajñāṁ karoti; yo jano mamāvajñāṁ karoti ca sa matprerakasyaivāvajñāṁ karoti|
Whoever hears you, hears me. And whoever despises you, despises me. And whoever despises me, despises him who sent me.”
17 atha te saptatiśiṣyā ānandena pratyāgatya kathayāmāsuḥ, he prabho bhavato nāmnā bhūtā apyasmākaṁ vaśībhavanti|
Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18 tadānīṁ sa tān jagāda, vidyutamiva svargāt patantaṁ śaitānam adarśam|
And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19 paśyata sarpān vṛścikān ripoḥ sarvvaparākramāṁśca padatalai rdalayituṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ śaktiṁ dadāmi tasmād yuṣmākaṁ kāpi hāni rna bhaviṣyati|
Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20 bhūtā yuṣmākaṁ vaśībhavanti, etannimittat mā samullasata, svarge yuṣmākaṁ nāmāni likhitāni santīti nimittaṁ samullasata|
Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 tadghaṭikāyāṁ yīśu rmanasi jātāhlādaḥ kathayāmāsa he svargapṛthivyorekādhipate pitastvaṁ jñānavatāṁ viduṣāñca lokānāṁ purastāt sarvvametad aprakāśya bālakānāṁ purastāt prākāśaya etasmāddhetostvāṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi, he pitaritthaṁ bhavatu yad etadeva tava gocara uttamam|
In the same hour, he exulted in the Holy Spirit, and he said: “I confess to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. It is so, Father, because this way was pleasing before you.
22 pitrā sarvvāṇi mayi samarpitāni pitaraṁ vinā kopi putraṁ na jānāti kiñca putraṁ vinā yasmai janāya putrastaṁ prakāśitavān tañca vinā kopi pitaraṁ na jānāti|
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son has chosen to reveal him.”
23 tapaḥ paraṁ sa śiṣyān prati parāvṛtya guptaṁ jagāda, yūyametāni sarvvāṇi paśyatha tato yuṣmākaṁ cakṣūṁṣi dhanyāni|
And turning to his disciples, he said: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24 yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, yūyaṁ yāni sarvvāṇi paśyatha tāni bahavo bhaviṣyadvādino bhūpatayaśca draṣṭumicchantopi draṣṭuṁ na prāpnuvan, yuṣmābhi ryā yāḥ kathāśca śrūyante tāḥ śrotumicchantopi śrotuṁ nālabhanta|
For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and they did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and they did not hear them.”
25 anantaram eko vyavasthāpaka utthāya taṁ parīkṣituṁ papraccha, he upadeśaka anantāyuṣaḥ prāptaye mayā kiṁ karaṇīyaṁ? (aiōnios g166)
And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
26 yīśuḥ pratyuvāca, atrārthe vyavasthāyāṁ kiṁ likhitamasti? tvaṁ kīdṛk paṭhasi?
But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27 tataḥ sovadat, tvaṁ sarvvāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ sarvvaprāṇaiḥ sarvvaśaktibhiḥ sarvvacittaiśca prabhau parameśvare prema kuru, samīpavāsini svavat prema kuru ca|
In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28 tadā sa kathayāmāsa, tvaṁ yathārthaṁ pratyavocaḥ, ittham ācara tenaiva jīviṣyasi|
And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29 kintu sa janaḥ svaṁ nirddoṣaṁ jñāpayituṁ yīśuṁ papraccha, mama samīpavāsī kaḥ? tato yīśuḥ pratyuvāca,
But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 eko jano yirūśālampurād yirīhopuraṁ yāti, etarhi dasyūnāṁ kareṣu patite te tasya vastrādikaṁ hṛtavantaḥ tamāhatya mṛtaprāyaṁ kṛtvā tyaktvā yayuḥ|
Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31 akasmād eko yājakastena mārgeṇa gacchan taṁ dṛṣṭvā mārgānyapārśvena jagāma|
And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32 ittham eko levīyastatsthānaṁ prāpya tasyāntikaṁ gatvā taṁ vilokyānyena pārśvena jagāma|
And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33 kintvekaḥ śomiroṇīyo gacchan tatsthānaṁ prāpya taṁ dṛṣṭvādayata|
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34 tasyāntikaṁ gatvā tasya kṣateṣu tailaṁ drākṣārasañca prakṣipya kṣatāni baddhvā nijavāhanopari tamupaveśya pravāsīyagṛham ānīya taṁ siṣeve|
And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35 parasmin divase nijagamanakāle dvau mudrāpādau tadgṛhasvāmine dattvāvadat janamenaṁ sevasva tatra yo'dhiko vyayo bhaviṣyati tamahaṁ punarāgamanakāle pariśotsyāmi|
And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36 eṣāṁ trayāṇāṁ madhye tasya dasyuhastapatitasya janasya samīpavāsī kaḥ? tvayā kiṁ budhyate?
Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37 tataḥ sa vyavasthāpakaḥ kathayāmāsa yastasmin dayāṁ cakāra| tadā yīśuḥ kathayāmāsa tvamapi gatvā tathācara|
Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”
38 tataḥ paraṁ te gacchanta ekaṁ grāmaṁ praviviśuḥ; tadā marthānāmā strī svagṛhe tasyātithyaṁ cakāra|
Now it happened that, while they were traveling, he entered into a certain town. And a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her home.
39 tasmāt mariyam nāmadheyā tasyā bhaginī yīśoḥ padasamīpa uvaviśya tasyopadeśakathāṁ śrotumārebhe|
And she had a sister, named Mary, who, while sitting beside the Lord’s feet, was listening to his word.
40 kintu marthā nānāparicaryyāyāṁ vyagrā babhūva tasmāddhetostasya samīpamāgatya babhāṣe; he prabho mama bhaginī kevalaṁ mamopari sarvvakarmmaṇāṁ bhāram arpitavatī tatra bhavatā kiñcidapi na mano nidhīyate kim? mama sāhāyyaṁ karttuṁ bhavān tāmādiśatu|
Now Martha was continually busying herself with serving. And she stood still and said: “Lord, is it not a concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, speak to her, so that she may help me.”
41 tato yīśuḥ pratyuvāca he marthe he marthe, tvaṁ nānākāryyeṣu cintitavatī vyagrā cāsi,
And the Lord responded by saying to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled over many things.
42 kintu prayojanīyam ekamātram āste| aparañca yamuttamaṁ bhāgaṁ kopi harttuṁ na śaknoti saeva mariyamā vṛtaḥ|
And yet only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best portion, and it shall not be taken away from her.”
