lUkaH 20
1 athaikadA yIshu rmanidare susaMvAdaM prachArayan lokAnupadishati, etarhi pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAH prA nchashcha tannikaTamAgatya paprachChuH
And it came to pass, on one of those days, as He is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came on [Him],
2 kayAj nayA tvaM karmmANyetAni karoShi? ko vA tvAmAj nApayat? tadasmAn vada|
and spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority You do these things? Or who is he that gave to You this authority?”
3 sa pratyuvAcha, tarhi yuShmAnapi kathAmekAM pR^ichChAmi tasyottaraM vadata|
And He answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:
4 yohano majjanam Ishvarasya mAnuShANAM vAj nAto jAtaM?
the immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or from men?”
5 tataste mitho vivichya jagaduH, yadIshvarasya vadAmastarhi taM kuto na pratyaita sa iti vakShyati|
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, Why, then, did you not believe him?
6 yadi manuShyasyeti vadAmastarhi sarvve lokA asmAn pAShANai rhaniShyanti yato yohan bhaviShyadvAdIti sarvve dR^iDhaM jAnanti|
And if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.”
7 ataeva te pratyUchuH kasyAj nayA jAtam iti vaktuM na shaknumaH|
And they answered that they did not know from where [it was],
8 tadA yIshuravadat tarhi kayAj nayA karmmANyetAti karomIti cha yuShmAn na vakShyAmi|
and Jesus said to them, “Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.”
9 atha lokAnAM sAkShAt sa imAM dR^iShTAntakathAM vaktumArebhe, kashchid drAkShAkShetraM kR^itvA tat kShetraM kR^iShIvalAnAM hasteShu samarpya bahukAlArthaM dUradeshaM jagAma|
And He began to speak to the people this allegory: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad for a long time,
10 atha phalakAle phalAni grahItu kR^iShIvalAnAM samIpe dAsaM prAhiNot kintu kR^iShIvalAstaM prahR^itya riktahastaM visasarjuH|
and at the season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they may give to him from the fruit of the vineyard, but the farmers having beat him, sent [him] away empty.
11 tataH sodhipatiH punaranyaM dAsaM preShayAmAsa, te tamapi prahR^itya kuvyavahR^itya riktahastaM visasR^ijuH|
And he added to send another servant, and they also having beaten and dishonored that one, sent [him] away empty;
12 tataH sa tR^itIyavAram anyaM prAhiNot te tamapi kShatA NgaM kR^itvA bahi rnichikShipuH|
and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they cast out.
13 tadA kShetrapati rvichArayAmAsa, mamedAnIM kiM karttavyaM? mama priye putre prahite te tamavashyaM dR^iShTvA samAdariShyante|
And the owner of the vineyard said, What will I do? I will send my son, the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will respect [him];
14 kintu kR^iShIvalAstaM nirIkShya parasparaM vivichya prochuH, ayamuttarAdhikArI AgachChatainaM hanmastatodhikArosmAkaM bhaviShyati|
and having seen him, the farmers reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
15 tataste taM kShetrAd bahi rnipAtya jaghnustasmAt sa kShetrapatistAn prati kiM kariShyati?
and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 sa Agatya tAn kR^iShIvalAn hatvA pareShAM hasteShu tatkShetraM samarpayiShyati; iti kathAM shrutvA te. avadan etAdR^ishI ghaTanA na bhavatu|
He will come, and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard, they said, “Let it not be!”
17 kintu yIshustAnavalokya jagAda, tarhi, sthapatayaH kariShyanti grAvANaM yantu tuchChakaM| pradhAnaprastaraH koNe sa eva hi bhaviShyati| etasya shAstrIyavachanasya kiM tAtparyyaM?
And He, having looked on them, said, “What, then, is this that has been written: A stone that the builders rejected—this became head of a corner?
18 aparaM tatpAShANopari yaH patiShyati sa bhaMkShyate kintu yasyopari sa pAShANaH patiShyati sa tena dhUlivach chUrNIbhaviShyati|
Everyone who has fallen on that stone will be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.”
19 sosmAkaM viruddhaM dR^iShTAntamimaM kathitavAn iti j nAtvA pradhAnayAjakA adhyApakAshcha tadaiva taM dhartuM vavA nChuH kintu lokebhyo bibhyuH|
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on Him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that He spoke this allegory against them.
20 ataeva taM prati satarkAH santaH kathaM tadvAkyadoShaM dhR^itvA taM deshAdhipasya sAdhuveshadhAriNashcharAn tasya samIpe preShayAmAsuH|
And having watched [Him], they sent forth ones lying in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of His word, to deliver Him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
21 tadA te taM paprachChuH, he upadeshaka bhavAn yathArthaM kathayan upadishati, kamapyanapekShya satyatvenaishvaraM mArgamupadishati, vayametajjAnImaH|
and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You say and teach correctly, and do not receive a person, but in truth teach the way of God.
22 kaisararAjAya karosmAbhi rdeyo na vA?
Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
23 sa teShAM va nchanaM j nAtvAvadat kuto mAM parIkShadhve? mAM mudrAmekaM darshayata|
And He, having perceived their craftiness, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me?
24 iha likhitA mUrtiriyaM nAma cha kasya? te. avadan kaisarasya|
Show Me a denarius; of whom does it have an image and inscription?” And they answering said, “Of Caesar”:
25 tadA sa uvAcha, tarhi kaisarasya dravyaM kaisarAya datta; Ishvarasya tu dravyamIshvarAya datta|
and He said to them, “Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
26 tasmAllokAnAM sAkShAt tatkathAyAH kamapi doShaM dhartumaprApya te tasyottarAd AshcharyyaM manyamAnA mauninastasthuH|
and they were not able to take hold on His saying before the people, and having wondered at His answer, they were silent.
27 apara ncha shmashAnAdutthAnAna NgIkAriNAM sidUkinAM kiyanto janA Agatya taM paprachChuH,
And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a resurrection, having come near, questioned Him,
28 he upadeshaka shAstre mUsA asmAn pratIti lilekha yasya bhrAtA bhAryyAyAM satyAM niHsantAno mriyate sa tajjAyAM vivahya tadvaMsham utpAdayiShyati|
saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us if anyone’s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless—that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
29 tathAcha kechit sapta bhrAtara Asan teShAM jyeShTho bhrAtA vivahya nirapatyaH prANAn jahau|
There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 atha dvitIyastasya jAyAM vivahya nirapatyaH san mamAra| tR^itIyashcha tAmeva vyuvAha;
and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
31 itthaM sapta bhrAtarastAmeva vivahya nirapatyAH santo mamruH|
and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven—they left no children, and they died;
32 sheShe sA strI cha mamAra|
and last of all the woman also died:
33 ataeva shmashAnAdutthAnakAle teShAM saptajanAnAM kasya sA bhAryyA bhaviShyati? yataH sA teShAM saptAnAmeva bhAryyAsIt|
in the resurrection, then, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.”
And Jesus answering said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 kintu ye tajjagatprAptiyogyatvena gaNitAM bhaviShyanti shmashAnAchchotthAsyanti te na vivahanti vAgdattAshcha na bhavanti, (aiōn g165)
but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 te puna rna mriyante kintu shmashAnAdutthApitAH santa Ishvarasya santAnAH svargIyadUtAnAM sadR^ishAshcha bhavanti|
for neither are they able to die anymore—for they are like messengers—and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 adhikantu mUsAH stambopAkhyAne parameshvara IbrAhIma Ishvara ishAka Ishvaro yAkUbashcheshvara ityuktvA mR^itAnAM shmashAnAd utthAnasya pramANaM lilekha|
And that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush, since he calls the LORD the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
38 ataeva ya IshvaraH sa mR^itAnAM prabhu rna kintu jIvatAmeva prabhuH, tannikaTe sarvve jIvantaH santi|
and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.”
39 iti shrutvA kiyantodhyApakA UchuH, he upadeshaka bhavAn bhadraM pratyuktavAn|
And certain of the scribes answering said, “Teacher, You said well”;
40 itaH paraM taM kimapi praShTaM teShAM pragalbhatA nAbhUt|
and they no longer dared question Him anything.
41 pashchAt sa tAn uvAcha, yaH khrIShTaH sa dAyUdaH santAna etAM kathAM lokAH kathaM kathayanti?
And He said to them, “How do they say the Christ is [the] son of David,
42 yataH mama prabhumidaM vAkyamavadat parameshvaraH| tava shatrUnahaM yAvat pAdapIThaM karomi na| tAvat kAlaM madIye tvaM dakShapArshva upAvisha|
and David himself says in [the] Scroll of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand,
43 iti kathAM dAyUd svayaM gItagranthe. avadat|
Until I will make Your enemies Your footstool;
44 ataeva yadi dAyUd taM prabhuM vadati, tarhi sa kathaM tasya santAno bhavati?
David, then, calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?”
45 pashchAd yIshuH sarvvajanAnAM karNagochare shiShyAnuvAcha,
And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
46 ye. adhyApakA dIrghaparichChadaM paridhAya bhramanti, haTTApaNayo rnamaskAre bhajanagehasya prochchAsane bhojanagR^ihasya pradhAnasthAne cha prIyante
“Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are cherishing salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
47 vidhavAnAM sarvvasvaM grasitvA Chalena dIrghakAlaM prArthayante cha teShu sAvadhAnA bhavata, teShAmugradaNDo bhaviShyati|
who devour the houses of the widows, and make long prayers for a pretense, these will receive more abundant judgment.”
