لُوکَح 14

1 اَنَنْتَرَں وِشْرامَوارے یِیشَو پْرَدھانَسْیَ پھِرُوشِنو گرِہے بھوکْتُں گَتَوَتِ تے تَں وِیکْشِتُمْ آریبھِرے۔

And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly watching him.

2 تَدا جَلودَرِی تَسْیَ سَمُّکھے سْتھِتَح۔

And lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him.

3 تَتَح سَ وْیَوَسْتھاپَکانْ پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ پَپْرَچّھَ، وِشْرامَوارے سْواسْتھْیَں کَرْتَّوْیَں نَ وا؟ تَتَسْتے کِمَپِ نَ پْرَتْیُوچُح۔

And Jesus, answering, spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees, saying—Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to cure, or not? But, they, held their peace.

4 تَدا سَ تَں روگِنَں سْوَسْتھَں کرِتْوا وِسَسَرْجَ؛

And taking hold [of him] he healed and dismissed him, —

5 تانُواچَ چَ یُشْماکَں کَسْیَچِدْ گَرْدَّبھو ورِشَبھو وا چیدْ گَرْتّے پَتَتِ تَرْہِ وِشْرامَوارے تَتْکْشَنَں سَ کِں تَں نوتّھاپَیِشْیَتِ؟

and, unto them, said—Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest?

6 تَتَسْتے کَتھایا ایتَسْیاح کِمَپِ پْرَتِوَکْتُں نَ شیکُح۔

And they could not return an answer unto these things.

7 اَپَرَنْچَ پْرَدھانَسْتھانَمَنونِیتَتْوَکَرَنَں وِلوکْیَ سَ نِمَنْتْرِتانْ ایتَدُپَدیشَکَتھاں جَگادَ،

And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, —observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them—

8 تْوَں وِواہادِبھوجْییشُ نِمَنْتْرِتَح سَنْ پْرَدھانَسْتھانے موپاویکْشِیح۔ تْوَتّو گَورَوانْوِتَنِمَنْتْرِتَجَنَ آیاتی

Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been invited by him,

9 نِمَنْتْرَیِتاگَتْیَ مَنُشْیایَیتَسْمَے سْتھانَں دیہِیتِ واکْیَں چیدْ وَکْشْیَتِ تَرْہِ تْوَں سَنْکُچِتو بھُوتْوا سْتھانَ اِتَرَسْمِنْ اُپَویشْٹُمْ اُدْیَںسْیَسِ۔

and he that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee—Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy.

10 اَسْماتْ کارَنادیوَ تْوَں نِمَنْتْرِتو گَتْواپْرَدھانَسْتھانَ اُپَوِشَ، تَتو نِمَنْتْرَیِتاگَتْیَ وَدِشْیَتِ، ہے بَنْدھو پْروچَّسْتھانَں گَتْووپَوِشَ، تَتھا سَتِ بھوجَنوپَوِشْٹاناں سَکَلاناں ساکْشاتْ تْوَں مانْیو بھَوِشْیَسِ۔

But, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee—Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together with thee.

11 یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمُنَّمَیَتِ سَ نَمَیِشْیَتے، کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَں نَمَیَتِ سَ اُنَّمَیِشْیَتے۔

Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

12 تَدا سَ نِمَنْتْرَیِتارَں جَنَمَپِ جَگادَ، مَدھْیاہْنے راتْرَو وا بھوجْیے کرِتے نِجَبَنْدھُگَنو وا بھْراترِگَنو وا جْناتِگَنو وا دھَنِگَنو وا سَمِیپَواسِگَنو وا ایتانْ نَ نِمَنْتْرَیَ، تَتھا کرِتے چیتْ تے تْواں نِمَنْتْرَیِشْیَنْتِ، تَرْہِ پَرِشودھو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔

Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, —Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, —lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee.

13 کِنْتُ یَدا بھیجْیَں کَروشِ تَدا دَرِدْرَشُشْکَکَرَکھَنْجانْدھانْ نِمَنْتْرَیَ،

But, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind;

14 تَتَ آشِشَں لَپْسْیَسے، تیشُ پَرِشودھَں کَرْتُّمَشَکْنُوَتْسُ شْمَشانادّھارْمِّکانامُتّھانَکالے تْوَں پھَلاں لَپْسْیَسے۔

and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in the resurrection of the righteous.

15 اَنَنْتَرَں تاں کَتھاں نِشَمْیَ بھوجَنوپَوِشْٹَح کَشْچِتْ کَتھَیاماسَ، یو جَنَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیے بھوکْتُں لَپْسْیَتے سَایوَ دھَنْیَح۔

And one of those reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him—Happy, whoever shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!

16 تَتَح سَ اُواچَ، کَشْچِتْ جَنو راتْرَو بھےجْیَں کرِتْوا بَہُونْ نِمَنْتْرَیاماسَ۔

But, he, said unto him—A certain man, was making a great supper, and invited many;

17 تَتو بھوجَنَسَمَیے نِمَنْتْرِتَلوکانْ آہْواتُں داسَدْوارا کَتھَیاماسَ، کھَدْیَدْرَوْیانِ سَرْوّانِ سَماسادِتانِ سَنْتِ، یُویَماگَچّھَتَ۔

and he sent out his servant, at the hour of the supper, to say unto the invited—Be coming! because, even now, is it, ready.

18 کِنْتُ تے سَرْوَّ ایکَیکَں چھَلَں کرِتْوا کْشَماں پْرارْتھَیانْچَکْرِرے۔ پْرَتھَمو جَنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، کْشیتْرَمیکَں کْرِیتَوانَہَں تَدیوَ دْرَشْٹُں مَیا گَنْتَوْیَمْ، اَتَایوَ ماں کْشَنْتُں تَں نِویدَیَ۔

And they all began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him—A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold me excused.

19 اَنْیو جَنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، دَشَورِشانَہَں کْرِیتَوانْ تانْ پَرِیکْشِتُں یامِ تَسْمادیوَ ماں کْشَنْتُں تَں نِویدَیَ۔

And, another, said—Five yoke of oxen, have I bought, and am going my way to prove them; I request thee, hold me excused.

20 اَپَرَح کَتھَیاماسَ، وْیُوڈھَوانَہَں تَسْماتْ کارَنادْ یاتُں نَ شَکْنومِ۔

And, another, said—A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!

21 پَشْچاتْ سَ داسو گَتْوا نِجَپْرَبھوح ساکْشاتْ سَرْوَّورِتّانْتَں نِویدَیاماسَ، تَتوسَو گرِہَپَتِح کُپِتْوا سْوَداسَں وْیاجَہارَ، تْوَں سَتْوَرَں نَگَرَسْیَ سَنِّویشانْ مارْگاںشْچَ گَتْوا دَرِدْرَشُشْکَکَرَکھَنْجانْدھانْ اَتْرانَیَ۔

And, going near, the servant reported unto his lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the master of the house said unto his servant—Go out quickly, into the broadways and streets of the city, —and, the destitute, and tried, and blind, and lame, bring thou in here.

22 تَتو داسووَدَتْ، ہے پْرَبھو بھَوَتَ آجْنانُساریناکْرِیَتَ تَتھاپِ سْتھانَمَسْتِ۔

And the servant said—Lord! what thou didst order, hath been done; and, yet, there is, room.

23 تَدا پْرَبھُح پُنَ رْداسایاکَتھَیَتْ، راجَپَتھانْ ورِکْشَمُولانِ چَ یاتْوا مَدِییَگرِہَپُورَنارْتھَں لوکاناگَنْتُں پْرَوَرْتَّیَ۔

And the lord said unto the servant—Go out among the highways and fences, and compel them to come in; that my house may be filled.

24 اَہَں یُشْمَبھْیَں کَتھَیامِ، پُورْوَّنِمَنْتْرِتانَمیکوپِ مَماسْیَ راتْرِبھوجْیَسْیاسْوادَں نَ پْراپْسْیَتِ۔

For, I say unto you—Not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of my supper.

25 اَنَنْتَرَں بَہُشُ لوکیشُ یِیشوح پَشْچادْ وْرَجِتیشُ سَتْسُ سَ وْیاگھُٹْیَ تیبھْیَح کَتھَیاماسَ،

And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them—

26 یَح کَشْچِنْ مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَتْیَ سْوَسْیَ ماتا پِتا پَتْنِی سَنْتانا بھْراتَرو بھَگِمْیو نِجَپْراناشْچَ، ایتیبھْیَح سَرْوّیبھْیو مَیَّدھِکَں پْریمَ نَ کَروتِ، سَ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔

If anyone cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, further also, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

27 یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَں کْرُشَں وَہَنْ مَمَ پَشْچانَّ گَچّھَتِ، سوپِ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔

Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 دُرْگَنِرْمّانے کَتِوْیَیو بھَوِشْیَتِ، تَتھا تَسْیَ سَماپْتِکَرَنارْتھَں سَمْپَتِّرَسْتِ نَ وا، پْرَتھَمَمُپَوِشْیَ ایتَنَّ گَنَیَتِ، یُشْماکَں مَدھْیَ ایتادرِشَح کوسْتِ؟

For, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, —whether he hath sufficient for completion;

29 نوچیدْ بھِتِّں کرِتْوا شیشے یَدِ سَماپَیِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ،

lest once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should begin to mock at him,

30 تَرْہِ مانُشویَں نِچیتُمْ آرَبھَتَ سَماپَیِتُں ناشَکْنوتْ، اِتِ وْیاہرِتْیَ سَرْوّے تَمُپَہَسِشْیَنْتِ۔

saying—This man, began to build, and was not able to finish!

31 اَپَرَنْچَ بھِنَّبھُوپَتِنا سَہَ یُدّھَں کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَمْیَ دَشَسَہَسْرانِ سَینْیانِ گرِہِیتْوا وِںشَتِسَہَسْریح سَینْیَیح سَہِتَسْیَ سَمِیپَواسِنَح سَمُّکھَں یاتُں شَکْشْیامِ نَ ویتِ پْرَتھَمَں اُپَوِشْیَ نَ وِچارَیَتِ ایتادرِشو بھُومِپَتِح کَح؟

Or, what king, moving on to encounter, another king, in battle, will not sit down first and take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who, with twenty thousand, is coming against him.

32 یَدِ نَ شَکْنوتِ تَرْہِ رِپاوَتِدُورے تِشْٹھَتِ سَتِ نِجَدُوتَں پْریشْیَ سَنْدھِں کَرْتُّں پْرارْتھَییتَ۔

And, if not, by any means, while he is yet afar off, he sendeth, an embassy, and requesteth the conditions of peace.

33 تَدْوَدْ یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے یَح کَشْچِنْ مَدَرْتھَں سَرْوَّسْوَں ہاتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ سَ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔

Thus, therefore, everyone from amongst you, who doth not bid adieu unto all his own possessions, cannot be my disciple.

34 لَوَنَمْ اُتَّمَمْ اِتِ سَتْیَں، کِنْتُ یَدِ لَوَنَسْیَ لَوَنَتْوَمْ اَپَگَچّھَتِ تَرْہِ تَتْ کَتھَں سْوادُیُکْتَں بھَوِشْیَتِ؟

Good, therefore is the salt; but, if, even the salt, become tasteless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35 تَدَ بھُومْیَرْتھَمْ آلَوالَراشْیَرْتھَمَپِ بھَدْرَں نَ بھَوَتِ؛ لوکاسْتَدْ بَہِح کْشِپَنْتِ۔ یَسْیَ شْروتُں شْروتْرے سْتَح سَ شرِنوتُ۔

Neither for land nor for manure, is it, fit: outside, they cast it! He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
