lūkaḥ 11
1 anantaraṁ sa kasmiṁścit sthāne prārthayata tatsamāptau satyāṁ tasyaikaḥ śiṣyastaṁ jagāda he prabho yohan yathā svaśiṣyān prārthayitum upadiṣṭavān tathā bhavānapyasmān upadiśatu|
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yochanan also taught his disciples.”
2 tasmāt sa kathayāmāsa, prārthanakāle yūyam itthaṁ kathayadhvaṁ, he asmākaṁ svargasthapitastava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu; tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; svarge yathā tathā pṛthivyāmapi tavecchayā sarvvaṁ bhavatu|
He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 pratyaham asmākaṁ prayojanīyaṁ bhojyaṁ dehi|
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 yathā vayaṁ sarvvān aparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahe tathā tvamapi pāpānyasmākaṁ kṣamasva| asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya kintu pāpātmano rakṣa|
Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
5 paścāt soparamapi kathitavān yadi yuṣmākaṁ kasyacid bandhustiṣṭhati niśīthe ca tasya samīpaṁ sa gatvā vadati,
He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 he bandho pathika eko bandhu rmama niveśanam āyātaḥ kintu tasyātithyaṁ karttuṁ mamāntike kimapi nāsti, ataeva pūpatrayaṁ mahyam ṛṇaṁ dehi;
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’
7 tadā sa yadi gṛhamadhyāt prativadati māṁ mā kliśāna, idānīṁ dvāraṁ ruddhaṁ śayane mayā saha bālakāśca tiṣṭhanti tubhyaṁ dātum utthātuṁ na śaknomi,
and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?
8 tarhi yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, sa yadi mitratayā tasmai kimapi dātuṁ nottiṣṭhati tathāpi vāraṁ vāraṁ prārthanāta utthāpitaḥ san yasmin tasya prayojanaṁ tadeva dāsyati|
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 ataḥ kāraṇāt kathayāmi, yācadhvaṁ tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyate, mṛgayadhvaṁ tata uddeśaṁ prāpsyatha, dvāram āhata tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dvāraṁ mokṣyate|
“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
10 yo yācate sa prāpnoti, yo mṛgayate sa evoddeśaṁ prāpnoti, yo dvāram āhanti tadarthaṁ dvāraṁ mocyate|
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 putreṇa pūpe yācite tasmai pāṣāṇaṁ dadāti vā matsye yācite tasmai sarpaṁ dadāti
“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 vā aṇḍe yācite tasmai vṛścikaṁ dadāti yuṣmākaṁ madhye ka etādṛśaḥ pitāste?
Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?
13 tasmādeva yūyamabhadrā api yadi svasvabālakebhya uttamāni dravyāṇi dātuṁ jānītha tarhyasmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā nijayācakebhyaḥ kiṁ pavitram ātmānaṁ na dāsyati?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
14 anantaraṁ yīśunā kasmāccid ekasmin mūkabhūte tyājite sati sa bhūtatyakto mānuṣo vākyaṁ vaktum ārebhe; tato lokāḥ sakalā āścaryyaṁ menire|
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled.
15 kintu teṣāṁ kecidūcu rjanoyaṁ bālasibūbā arthād bhūtarājena bhūtān tyājayati|
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16 taṁ parīkṣituṁ kecid ākāśīyam ekaṁ cihnaṁ darśayituṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrire|
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 tadā sa teṣāṁ manaḥkalpanāṁ jñātvā kathayāmāsa, kasyacid rājyasya lokā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tad rājyam naśyati; kecid gṛhasthā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tepi naśyanti|
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 tathaiva śaitānapi svalokān yadi viruṇaddhi tadā tasya rājyaṁ kathaṁ sthāsyati? bālasibūbāhaṁ bhūtān tyājayāmi yūyamiti vadatha|
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
19 yadyahaṁ bālasibūbā bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ santānāḥ kena tyājayanti? tasmāt taeva kathāyā etasyā vicārayitāro bhaviṣyanti|
But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 kintu yadyaham īśvarasya parākrameṇa bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭam īśvarasya rājyamavaśyam upatiṣṭhati|
But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.
21 balavān pumān susajjamāno yatikālaṁ nijāṭṭālikāṁ rakṣati tatikālaṁ tasya dravyaṁ nirupadravaṁ tiṣṭhati|
“When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 kintu tasmād adhikabalaḥ kaścidāgatya yadi taṁ jayati tarhi yeṣu śastrāstreṣu tasya viśvāsa āsīt tāni sarvvāṇi hṛtvā tasya dravyāṇi gṛhlāti|
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armour in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.
23 ataḥ kāraṇād yo mama sapakṣo na sa vipakṣaḥ, yo mayā saha na saṁgṛhlāti sa vikirati|
“He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 aparañca amedhyabhūto mānuṣasyāntarnirgatya śuṣkasthāne bhrāntvā viśrāmaṁ mṛgayate kintu na prāpya vadati mama yasmād gṛhād āgatohaṁ punastad gṛhaṁ parāvṛtya yāmi|
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’
25 tato gatvā tad gṛhaṁ mārjitaṁ śobhitañca dṛṣṭvā
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 tatkṣaṇam apagatya svasmādapi durmmatīn aparān saptabhūtān sahānayati te ca tadgṛhaṁ paviśya nivasanti| tasmāt tasya manuṣyasya prathamadaśātaḥ śeṣadaśā duḥkhatarā bhavati|
Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 asyāḥ kathāyāḥ kathanakāle janatāmadhyasthā kācinnārī tamuccaiḥsvaraṁ provāca, yā yoṣit tvāṁ garbbhe'dhārayat stanyamapāyayacca saiva dhanyā|
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
28 kintu sokathayat ye parameśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpam ācaranti taeva dhanyāḥ|
But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”
29 tataḥ paraṁ tasyāntike bahulokānāṁ samāgame jāte sa vaktumārebhe, ādhunikā duṣṭalokāścihnaṁ draṣṭumicchanti kintu yūnasbhaviṣyadvādinaścihnaṁ vinānyat kiñciccihnaṁ tān na darśayiṣyate|
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 yūnas tu yathā nīnivīyalokānāṁ samīpe cihnarūpobhavat tathā vidyamānalokānām eṣāṁ samīpe manuṣyaputropi cihnarūpo bhaviṣyati|
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
31 vicārasamaye idānīntanalokānāṁ prātikūlyena dakṣiṇadeśīyā rājñī protthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyati, yataḥ sā rājñī sulemāna upadeśakathāṁ śrotuṁ pṛthivyāḥ sīmāta āgacchat kintu paśyata sulemānopi gurutara eko jano'smin sthāne vidyate|
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgement with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
32 aparañca vicārasamaye nīnivīyalokā api varttamānakālikānāṁ lokānāṁ vaiparītyena protthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyanti, yato hetoste yūnaso vākyāt cittāni parivarttayāmāsuḥ kintu paśyata yūnasotigurutara eko jano'smin sthāne vidyate|
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgement with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the proclaiming of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
33 pradīpaṁ prajvālya droṇasyādhaḥ kutrāpi guptasthāne vā kopi na sthāpayati kintu gṛhapraveśibhyo dīptiṁ dātaṁ dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayati|
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 dehasya pradīpaścakṣustasmādeva cakṣu ryadi prasannaṁ bhavati tarhi tava sarvvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati kintu cakṣu ryadi malīmasaṁ tiṣṭhati tarhi sarvvaśarīraṁ sāndhakāraṁ sthāsyati|
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
35 asmāt kāraṇāt tavāntaḥsthaṁ jyoti ryathāndhakāramayaṁ na bhavati tadarthe sāvadhāno bhava|
Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
36 yataḥ śarīrasya kutrāpyaṁśe sāndhakāre na jāte sarvvaṁ yadi dīptimat tiṣṭhati tarhi tubhyaṁ dīptidāyiprojjvalan pradīpa iva tava savarvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati|
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”
37 etatkathāyāḥ kathanakāle phiruśyeko bhejanāya taṁ nimantrayāmāsa, tataḥ sa gatvā bhoktum upaviveśa|
Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.
38 kintu bhojanāt pūrvvaṁ nāmāṅkṣīt etad dṛṣṭvā sa phiruśyāścaryyaṁ mene|
When the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 tadā prabhustaṁ provāca yūyaṁ phirūśilokāḥ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha kintu yuṣmākamanta rdaurātmyai rduṣkriyābhiśca paripūrṇaṁ tiṣṭhati|
The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 he sarvve nirbodhā yo bahiḥ sasarja sa eva kimanta rna sasarja?
You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 tata eva yuṣmābhirantaḥkaraṇaṁ (īśvarāya) nivedyatāṁ tasmin kṛte yuṣmākaṁ sarvvāṇi śucitāṁ yāsyanti|
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.
42 kintu hanta phirūśigaṇā yūyaṁ nyāyam īśvare prema ca parityajya podināyā arudādīnāṁ sarvveṣāṁ śākānāñca daśamāṁśān dattha kintu prathamaṁ pālayitvā śeṣasyālaṅghanaṁ yuṣmākam ucitamāsīt|
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 hā hā phirūśino yūyaṁ bhajanagehe proccāsane āpaṇeṣu ca namaskāreṣu prīyadhve|
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 vata kapaṭino'dhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca lokāyat śmaśānam anupalabhya tadupari gacchanti yūyam tādṛgaprakāśitaśmaśānavād bhavatha|
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45 tadānīṁ vyavasthāpakānām ekā yīśumavadat, he upadeśaka vākyenedṛśenāsmāsvapi doṣam āropayasi|
One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”
46 tataḥ sa uvāca, hā hā vyavasthāpakā yūyam mānuṣāṇām upari duḥsahyān bhārān nyasyatha kintu svayam ekāṅgulyāpi tān bhārān na spṛśatha|
He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 hanta yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā yān bhaviṣyadvādino'vadhiṣusteṣāṁ śmaśānāni yūyaṁ nirmmātha|
Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 tenaiva yūyaṁ svapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ karmmāṇi saṁmanyadhve tadeva sapramāṇaṁ kurutha ca, yataste tānavadhiṣuḥ yūyaṁ teṣāṁ śmaśānāni nirmmātha|
So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 ataeva īśvarasya śāstre proktamasti teṣāmantike bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ preritāṁśca preṣayiṣyāmi tataste teṣāṁ kāṁścana haniṣyanti kāṁścana tāḍaśṣyinti|
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and emissaries; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 etasmāt kāraṇāt hābilaḥ śoṇitapātamārabhya mandirayajñavedyo rmadhye hatasya sikhariyasya raktapātaparyyantaṁ
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 jagataḥ sṛṣṭimārabhya pṛthivyāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ yatiraktapātā jātāstatīnām aparādhadaṇḍā eṣāṁ varttamānalokānāṁ bhaviṣyanti, yuṣmānahaṁ niścitaṁ vadāmi sarvve daṇḍā vaṁśasyāsya bhaviṣyanti|
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 hā hā vyavasthapakā yūyaṁ jñānasya kuñcikāṁ hṛtvā svayaṁ na praviṣṭā ye praveṣṭuñca prayāsinastānapi praveṣṭuṁ vāritavantaḥ|
Woe to you Torah scholars! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”
53 itthaṁ kathākathanād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca satarkāḥ
As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,
54 santastamapavadituṁ tasya kathāyā doṣaṁ dharttamicchanto nānākhyānakathanāya taṁ pravarttayituṁ kopayituñca prārebhire|
lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
