lUkaH 18
1 apara ncha lokairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAshayena yIshunA dR^iShTAnta ekaH kathitaH|
And he spoke also a parable to them to the purport that they should always pray and not faint,
2 kutrachinnagare kashchit prADvivAka AsIt sa IshvarAnnAbibhet mAnuShAMshcha nAmanyata|
saying, There was a judge in a city, not fearing God and not respecting man:
3 atha tatpuravAsinI kAchidvidhavA tatsamIpametya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariShkurvviti nivedayAmAsa|
and there was a widow in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adverse party.
4 tataH sa prADvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tada NgIkR^itavAn pashchAchchitte chintayAmAsa, yadyapIshvarAnna bibhemi manuShyAnapi na manye
And he would not for a time; but afterwards he said within himself, If even I fear not God and respect not man,
5 tathApyeShA vidhavA mAM klishnAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariShkariShyAmi nochet sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariShyati|
at any rate because this widow annoys me I will avenge her, that she may not by perpetually coming completely harass me.
6 pashchAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprADvivAko yadAha tatra mano nidhadhvaM|
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says.
7 Ishvarasya ye. abhiruchitalokA divAnishaM prArthayante sa bahudinAni vilambyApi teShAM vivAdAn kiM na pariShkariShyati?
And shall not God at all avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and he bears long as to them?
8 yuShmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariShkariShyati, kintu yadA manuShyaputra AgamiShyati tadA pR^ithivyAM kimIdR^ishaM vishvAsaM prApsyati?
I say unto you that he will avenge them speedily. But when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?
9 ye svAn dhArmmikAn j nAtvA parAn tuchChIkurvvanti etAdR^igbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dR^iShTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
And he spoke also to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest [of men], this parable:
10 ekaH phirUshyaparaH karasa nchAyI dvAvimau prArthayituM mandiraM gatau|
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.
11 tato. asau phirUshyekapArshve tiShThan he Ishvara ahamanyalokavat loThayitAnyAyI pAradArikashcha na bhavAmi asya karasa nchAyinastulyashcha na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
12 saptasu dineShu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampatte rdashamAMshaM dadAmi cha, etatkathAM kathayan prArthayAmAsa|
I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.
13 kintu sa karasa nchAyi dUre tiShThan svargaM draShTuM nechChan vakShasi karAghAtaM kurvvan he Ishvara pApiShThaM mAM dayasva, itthaM prArthayAmAsa|
And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.
14 yuShmAnahaM vadAmi, tayordvayo rmadhye kevalaH karasa nchAyI puNyavattvena gaNito nijagR^ihaM jagAma, yato yaH kashchit svamunnamayati sa nAmayiShyate kintu yaH kashchit svaM namayati sa unnamayiShyate|
I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other]. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
15 atha shishUnAM gAtrasparshArthaM lokAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH shiShyAstad dR^iShTvAnetR^in tarjayAmAsuH,
And they brought to him also infants that he might touch them, but the disciples when they saw [it] rebuked them.
16 kintu yIshustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM shishUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMshcha mA vArayata; yata IshvararAjyAdhikAriNa eShAM sadR^ishAH|
But Jesus calling them to [him] said, Suffer little children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 ahaM yuShmAn yathArthaM vadAmi, yo janaH shishoH sadR^isho bhUtvA IshvararAjyaM na gR^ihlAti sa kenApi prakAreNa tat praveShTuM na shaknoti|
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 aparam ekodhipatistaM paprachCha, he paramaguro, anantAyuShaH prAptaye mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 yIshuruvAcha, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IshvaraM vinA kopi paramo na bhavati|
But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.
20 paradArAn mA gachCha, naraM mA jahi, mA choraya, mithyAsAkShyaM mA dehi, mAtaraM pitara ncha saMmanyasva, etA yA Aj nAH 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 uvAcha, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA etA AcharAmi|
And he said, All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 iti kathAM shrutvA yIshustamavadat, tathApi tavaikaM karmma nyUnamAste, nijaM sarvvasvaM vikrIya daridrebhyo vitara, tasmAt svarge dhanaM prApsyasi; tata Agatya mamAnugAmI bhava|
And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.
23 kintvetAM kathAM shrutvA sodhipatiH shushocha, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 tadA yIshustamatishokAnvitaM dR^iShTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IshvararAjyapraveshaH kIdR^ig duShkaraH|
But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;
25 IshvararAjye dhaninaH praveshAt sUcheshChidreNa mahA Ngasya gamanAgamane sukare|
for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 shrotAraH paprachChustarhi kena paritrANaM prApsyate?
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSheNAshakyaM tad IshvareNa shakyaM|
But he said, The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
28 tadA pitara uvAcha, pashya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pashchAdgAmino. abhavAma|
And Peter said, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.
29 tataH sa uvAcha, yuShmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi, IshvararAjyArthaM gR^ihaM pitarau bhrAtR^igaNaM jAyAM santAnAMshcha tyaktavA
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left home, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
31 anantaraM sa dvAdashashiShyAnAhUya babhAShe, pashyata vayaM yirUshAlamnagaraM yAmaH, tasmAt manuShyaputre bhaviShyadvAdibhiruktaM yadasti tadanurUpaM taM prati ghaTiShyate;
And he took the twelve to [him] and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written of the Son of man by the prophets shall be accomplished;
32 vastutastu so. anyadeshIyAnAM hasteShu samarpayiShyate, te tamupahasiShyanti, anyAyamAchariShyanti tadvapuShi niShThIvaM nikShepsyanti, kashAbhiH prahR^itya taM haniShyanti cha,
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon.
33 kintu tR^itIyadine sa shmashAnAd utthAsyati|
And when they have scourged [him] they will kill him; and on the third day he will rise again.
34 etasyAH kathAyA abhiprAyaM ki nchidapi te boddhuM na shekuH teShAM nikaTe. aspaShTatavAt tasyaitAsAM kathAnAm AshayaM te j nAtuM na shekushcha|
And they understood nothing of these things. And this word was hidden from them, and they did not know what was said.
35 atha tasmin yirIhoH purasyAntikaM prApte kashchidandhaH pathaH pArshva upavishya bhikShAm akarot
And it came to pass when he came into the neighbourhood of Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.
36 sa lokasamUhasya gamanashabdaM shrutvA tatkAraNaM pR^iShTavAn|
And when he heard the crowd passing, he inquired what this might be.
37 nAsaratIyayIshuryAtIti lokairukte sa uchchairvaktumArebhe,
And they told him that Jesus the Nazaraean was passing by.
38 he dAyUdaH santAna yIsho mAM dayasva|
And he called out saying, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 tatogragAminastaM maunI tiShTheti tarjayAmAsuH kintu sa punAruvan uvAcha, he dAyUdaH santAna mAM dayasva|
And those [who were] going before rebuked him that he might be silent; but he cried out so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 tadA yIshuH sthagito bhUtvA svAntike tamAnetum Adidesha|
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be led to him. And when he drew nigh he asked him [saying],
41 tataH sa tasyAntikam Agamat, tadA sa taM paprachCha, tvaM kimichChasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariShyAmi? sa uktavAn, he prabho. ahaM draShTuM labhai|
What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may see.
42 tadA yIshuruvAcha, dR^iShTishaktiM gR^ihANa tava pratyayastvAM svasthaM kR^itavAn|
And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee.
43 tatastatkShaNAt tasya chakShuShI prasanne; tasmAt sa IshvaraM dhanyaM vadan tatpashchAd yayau, tadAlokya sarvve lokA IshvaraM prashaMsitum Arebhire|
And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people when they saw [it] gave praise to God.
