lūkaḥ 17

1 itaḥ paraṁ yīśuḥ śiṣyān uvāca, vighnairavaśyam āgantavyaṁ kintu vighnā yena ghaṭiṣyante tasya durgati rbhaviṣyati|

And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.

2 eteṣāṁ kṣudraprāṇinām ekasyāpi vighnajananāt kaṇṭhabaddhapeṣaṇīkasya tasya sāgarāgādhajale majjanaṁ bhadraṁ|

It would be well for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea, before he made trouble for any of these little ones.

3 yūyaṁ sveṣu sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata; tava bhrātā yadi tava kiñcid aparādhyati tarhi taṁ tarjaya, tena yadi manaḥ parivarttayati tarhi taṁ kṣamasva|

Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

4 punarekadinamadhye yadi sa tava saptakṛtvo'parādhyati kintu saptakṛtva āgatya manaḥ parivartya mayāparāddham iti vadati tarhi taṁ kṣamasva|

And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.

5 tadā preritāḥ prabhum avadan asmākaṁ viśvāsaṁ varddhaya|

And the twelve said to the Lord, Make our faith greater.

6 prabhuruvāca, yadi yuṣmākaṁ sarṣapaikapramāṇo viśvāsosti tarhi tvaṁ samūlamutpāṭito bhūtvā samudre ropito bhava kathāyām etasyām etaduḍumbarāya kathitāyāṁ sa yuṣmākamājñāvaho bhaviṣyati|

And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.

7 aparaṁ svadāse halaṁ vāhayitvā vā paśūn cārayitvā kṣetrād āgate sati taṁ vadati, ehi bhoktumupaviśa, yuṣmākam etādṛśaḥ kosti?

But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

8 varañca pūrvvaṁ mama khādyamāsādya yāvad bhuñje pivāmi ca tāvad baddhakaṭiḥ paricara paścāt tvamapi bhokṣyase pāsyasi ca kathāmīdṛśīṁ kiṁ na vakṣyati?

Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?

9 tena dāsena prabhorājñānurūpe karmmaṇi kṛte prabhuḥ kiṁ tasmin bādhito jātaḥ? netthaṁ budhyate mayā|

Does he give praise to the servant because he did what was ordered?

10 itthaṁ nirūpiteṣu sarvvakarmmasu kṛteṣu satmu yūyamapīdaṁ vākyaṁ vadatha, vayam anupakāriṇo dāsā asmābhiryadyatkarttavyaṁ tanmātrameva kṛtaṁ|

In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

11 sa yirūśālami yātrāṁ kurvvan śomiroṇgālīlpradeśamadhyena gacchati,

And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

12 etarhi kutracid grāme praveśamātre daśakuṣṭhinastaṁ sākṣāt kṛtvā

And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,

13 dūre tiṣṭhanata uccai rvaktumārebhire, he prabho yīśo dayasvāsmān|

Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 tataḥ sa tān dṛṣṭvā jagāda, yūyaṁ yājakānāṁ samīpe svān darśayata, tataste gacchanto rogāt pariṣkṛtāḥ|

And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

15 tadā teṣāmekaḥ svaṁ svasthaṁ dṛṣṭvā proccairīśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan vyāghuṭyāyāto yīśo rguṇānanuvadan taccaraṇādhobhūmau papāta;

And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice;

16 sa cāsīt śomiroṇī|

And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria.

17 tadā yīśuravadat, daśajanāḥ kiṁ na pariṣkṛtāḥ? tahyanye navajanāḥ kutra?

And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

18 īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadantam enaṁ videśinaṁ vinā kopyanyo na prāpyata|

Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?

19 tadā sa tamuvāca, tvamutthāya yāhi viśvāsaste tvāṁ svasthaṁ kṛtavān|

And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

20 atha kadeśvarasya rājatvaṁ bhaviṣyatīti phirūśibhiḥ pṛṣṭe sa pratyuvāca, īśvarasya rājatvam aiśvaryyadarśanena na bhaviṣyati|

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

21 ata etasmin paśya tasmin vā paśya, iti vākyaṁ lokā vaktuṁ na śakṣyanti, īśvarasya rājatvaṁ yuṣmākam antarevāste|

And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

22 tataḥ sa śiṣyān jagāda, yadā yuṣmābhi rmanujasutasya dinamekaṁ draṣṭum vāñchiṣyate kintu na darśiṣyate, īdṛkkāla āyāti|

And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

23 tadātra paśya vā tatra paśyeti vākyaṁ lokā vakṣyanti, kintu teṣāṁ paścāt mā yāta, mānugacchata ca|

And if they say to you, See, it is there! or, It is here! do not go away, or go after them.

24 yatastaḍid yathākāśaikadiśyudiya tadanyāmapi diśaṁ vyāpya prakāśate tadvat nijadine manujasūnuḥ prakāśiṣyate|

For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

25 kintu tatpūrvvaṁ tenānekāni duḥkhāni bhoktavyānyetadvarttamānalokaiśca so'vajñātavyaḥ|

But first, he will have to undergo much and be put on one side by this generation.

26 nohasya vidyamānakāle yathābhavat manuṣyasūnoḥ kālepi tathā bhaviṣyati|

And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the day of the Son of man.

27 yāvatkālaṁ noho mahāpotaṁ nārohad āplāvivāryyetya sarvvaṁ nānāśayacca tāvatkālaṁ yathā lokā abhuñjatāpivan vyavahan vyavāhayaṁśca;

They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

28 itthaṁ loṭo varttamānakālepi yathā lokā bhojanapānakrayavikrayaropaṇagṛhanirmmāṇakarmmasu prāvarttanta,

In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

29 kintu yadā loṭ sidomo nirjagāma tadā nabhasaḥ sagandhakāgnivṛṣṭi rbhūtvā sarvvaṁ vyanāśayat

But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

30 tadvan mānavaputraprakāśadinepi bhaviṣyati|

So will it be in the day of the revelation of the Son of man.

31 tadā yadi kaścid gṛhopari tiṣṭhati tarhi sa gṛhamadhyāt kimapi dravyamānetum avaruhya naitu; yaśca kṣetre tiṣṭhati sopi vyāghuṭya nāyātu|

On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

32 loṭaḥ patnīṁ smarata|

Keep in mind Lot's wife.

33 yaḥ prāṇān rakṣituṁ ceṣṭiṣyate sa prāṇān hārayiṣyati yastu prāṇān hārayiṣyati saeva prāṇān rakṣiṣyati|

If anyone makes an attempt to keep his life, it will be taken from him, but if anyone gives up his life, he will keep it.

34 yuṣmānahaṁ vacmi tasyāṁ rātrau śayyaikagatayo rlokayoreko dhāriṣyate parastyakṣyate|

I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.

35 striyau yugapat peṣaṇīṁ vyāvarttayiṣyatastayorekā dhāriṣyate parātyakṣyate|

Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

36 puruṣau kṣetre sthāsyatastayoreko dhāriṣyate parastyakṣyate|

37 tadā te papracchuḥ, he prabho kutretthaṁ bhaviṣyati? tataḥ sa uvāca, yatra śavastiṣṭhati tatra gṛdhrā milanti|

And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.
