lūkaḥ 18
1 aparañca lōkairaklāntai rnirantaraṁ prārthayitavyam ityāśayēna yīśunā dr̥ṣṭānta ēkaḥ kathitaḥ|
AND he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2 kutracinnagarē kaścit prāḍvivāka āsīt sa īśvarānnābibhēt mānuṣāṁśca nāmanyata|
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3 atha tatpuravāsinī kācidvidhavā tatsamīpamētya vivādinā saha mama vivādaṁ pariṣkurvviti nivēdayāmāsa|
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 tataḥ sa prāḍvivākaḥ kiyaddināni na tadaṅgīkr̥tavān paścāccittē cintayāmāsa, yadyapīśvarānna bibhēmi manuṣyānapi na manyē
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 tathāpyēṣā vidhavā māṁ kliśnāti tasmādasyā vivādaṁ pariṣkariṣyāmi nōcēt sā sadāgatya māṁ vyagraṁ kariṣyati|
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 paścāt prabhuravadad asāvanyāyaprāḍvivākō yadāha tatra manō nidhadhvaṁ|
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 īśvarasya yē 'bhirucitalōkā divāniśaṁ prārthayantē sa bahudināni vilambyāpi tēṣāṁ vivādān kiṁ na pariṣkariṣyati?
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi tvarayā pariṣkariṣyati, kintu yadā manuṣyaputra āgamiṣyati tadā pr̥thivyāṁ kimīdr̥śaṁ viśvāsaṁ prāpsyati?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
9 yē svān dhārmmikān jñātvā parān tucchīkurvvanti ētādr̥gbhyaḥ, kiyadbhya imaṁ dr̥ṣṭāntaṁ kathayāmāsa|
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 ēkaḥ phirūśyaparaḥ karasañcāyī dvāvimau prārthayituṁ mandiraṁ gatau|
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 tatō'sau phirūśyēkapārśvē tiṣṭhan hē īśvara ahamanyalōkavat lōṭhayitānyāyī pāradārikaśca na bhavāmi asya karasañcāyinastulyaśca na, tasmāttvāṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
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 dinēṣu dinadvayamupavasāmi sarvvasampattē rdaśamāṁśaṁ dadāmi ca, ētatkathāṁ kathayan prārthayāmāsa|
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 kintu sa karasañcāyi dūrē tiṣṭhan svargaṁ draṣṭuṁ nēcchan vakṣasi karāghātaṁ kurvvan hē īśvara pāpiṣṭhaṁ māṁ dayasva, itthaṁ prārthayāmāsa|
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 yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, tayōrdvayō rmadhyē kēvalaḥ karasañcāyī puṇyavattvēna gaṇitō nijagr̥haṁ jagāma, yatō yaḥ kaścit svamunnamayati sa nāmayiṣyatē kintu yaḥ kaścit svaṁ namayati sa unnamayiṣyatē|
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 śiśūnāṁ gātrasparśārthaṁ lōkāstān tasya samīpamāninyuḥ śiṣyāstad dr̥ṣṭvānētr̥n tarjayāmāsuḥ,
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 kintu yīśustānāhūya jagāda, mannikaṭam āgantuṁ śiśūn anujānīdhvaṁ tāṁśca mā vārayata; yata īśvararājyādhikāriṇa ēṣāṁ sadr̥śāḥ|
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 ahaṁ yuṣmān yathārthaṁ vadāmi, yō janaḥ śiśōḥ sadr̥śō bhūtvā īśvararājyaṁ na gr̥hlāti sa kēnāpi prakārēṇa tat pravēṣṭuṁ na śaknōti|
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 ēkōdhipatistaṁ papraccha, hē paramagurō, anantāyuṣaḥ prāptayē mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 yīśuruvāca, māṁ kutaḥ paramaṁ vadasi? īśvaraṁ vinā kōpi paramō na bhavati|
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 paradārān mā gaccha, naraṁ mā jahi, mā cōraya, mithyāsākṣyaṁ mā dēhi, mātaraṁ pitarañca saṁmanyasva, ētā yā ājñāḥ santi tāstvaṁ jānāsi|
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 tadā sa uvāca, bālyakālāt sarvvā ētā ācarāmi|
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 iti kathāṁ śrutvā yīśustamavadat, tathāpi tavaikaṁ karmma nyūnamāstē, nijaṁ sarvvasvaṁ vikrīya daridrēbhyō vitara, tasmāt svargē dhanaṁ prāpsyasi; tata āgatya mamānugāmī 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 kintvētāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā sōdhipatiḥ śuśōca, yatastasya bahudhanamāsīt|
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 tadā yīśustamatiśōkānvitaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā jagāda, dhanavatām īśvararājyapravēśaḥ kīdr̥g duṣkaraḥ|
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 īśvararājyē dhaninaḥ pravēśāt sūcēśchidrēṇa mahāṅgasya gamanāgamanē sukarē|
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 śrōtāraḥ papracchustarhi kēna paritrāṇaṁ prāpsyatē?
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 sa uktavān, yan mānuṣēṇāśakyaṁ tad īśvarēṇa śakyaṁ|
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 tadā pitara uvāca, paśya vayaṁ sarvvasvaṁ parityajya tava paścādgāminō'bhavāma|
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 tataḥ sa uvāca, yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, īśvararājyārthaṁ gr̥haṁ pitarau bhrātr̥gaṇaṁ jāyāṁ santānāṁśca tyaktavā
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 anantaraṁ sa dvādaśaśiṣyānāhūya babhāṣē, paśyata vayaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ yāmaḥ, tasmāt manuṣyaputrē bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktaṁ yadasti tadanurūpaṁ taṁ prati ghaṭiṣyatē;
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 sō'nyadēśīyānāṁ hastēṣu samarpayiṣyatē, tē tamupahasiṣyanti, anyāyamācariṣyanti tadvapuṣi niṣṭhīvaṁ nikṣēpsyanti, kaśābhiḥ prahr̥tya taṁ haniṣyanti ca,
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 kintu tr̥tīyadinē sa śmaśānād utthāsyati|
And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 ētasyāḥ kathāyā abhiprāyaṁ kiñcidapi tē bōddhuṁ na śēkuḥ tēṣāṁ nikaṭē'spaṣṭatavāt tasyaitāsāṁ kathānām āśayaṁ tē jñātuṁ na śēkuśca|
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 yirīhōḥ purasyāntikaṁ prāptē kaścidandhaḥ pathaḥ pārśva upaviśya bhikṣām akarōt
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 lōkasamūhasya gamanaśabdaṁ śrutvā tatkāraṇaṁ pr̥ṣṭavān|
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 nāsaratīyayīśuryātīti lōkairuktē sa uccairvaktumārēbhē,
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 hē dāyūdaḥ santāna yīśō māṁ dayasva|
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 tatōgragāminastaṁ maunī tiṣṭhēti tarjayāmāsuḥ kintu sa punāruvan uvāca, hē dāyūdaḥ santāna māṁ 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 tadā yīśuḥ sthagitō bhūtvā svāntikē tamānētum ādidēśa|
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 tataḥ sa tasyāntikam āgamat, tadā sa taṁ papraccha, tvaṁ kimicchasi? tvadarthamahaṁ kiṁ kariṣyāmi? sa uktavān, hē prabhō'haṁ draṣṭuṁ labhai|
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 tadā yīśuruvāca, dr̥ṣṭiśaktiṁ gr̥hāṇa tava pratyayastvāṁ svasthaṁ kr̥tavān|
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 tatastatkṣaṇāt tasya cakṣuṣī prasannē; tasmāt sa īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan tatpaścād yayau, tadālōkya sarvvē lōkā īśvaraṁ praśaṁsitum ārēbhirē|
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
