< لُوکَح 18 >
| اَپَرَنْچَ لوکَیرَکْلانْتَے رْنِرَنْتَرَں پْرارْتھَیِتَوْیَمْ اِتْیاشَیینَ یِیشُنا درِشْٹانْتَ ایکَح کَتھِتَح۔ | 1 |
Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
| کُتْرَچِنَّگَرے کَشْچِتْ پْراڈْوِواکَ آسِیتْ سَ اِیشْوَرانّابِبھیتْ مانُشاںشْچَ نامَنْیَتَ۔ | 2 |
“There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
| اَتھَ تَتْپُرَواسِنِی کاچِدْوِدھَوا تَتْسَمِیپَمیتْیَ وِوادِنا سَہَ مَمَ وِوادَں پَرِشْکُرْوِّتِ نِویدَیاماسَ۔ | 3 |
In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
| تَتَح سَ پْراڈْوِواکَح کِیَدِّنانِ نَ تَدَنْگِیکرِتَوانْ پَشْچاچِّتّے چِنْتَیاماسَ، یَدْیَپِیشْوَرانَّ بِبھیمِ مَنُشْیانَپِ نَ مَنْیی | 4 |
For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
| تَتھاپْییشا وِدھَوا ماں کْلِشْناتِ تَسْمادَسْیا وِوادَں پَرِشْکَرِشْیامِ نوچیتْ سا سَداگَتْیَ ماں وْیَگْرَں کَرِشْیَتِ۔ | 5 |
yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
| پَشْچاتْ پْرَبھُرَوَدَدْ اَساوَنْیایَپْراڈْوِواکو یَداہَ تَتْرَ مَنو نِدھَدھْوَں۔ | 6 |
Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
| اِیشْوَرَسْیَ یے بھِرُچِتَلوکا دِوانِشَں پْرارْتھَیَنْتے سَ بَہُدِنانِ وِلَمْبْیاپِ تیشاں وِوادانْ کِں نَ پَرِشْکَرِشْیَتِ؟ | 7 |
And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
| یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ تْوَرَیا پَرِشْکَرِشْیَتِ، کِنْتُ یَدا مَنُشْیَپُتْرَ آگَمِشْیَتِ تَدا پرِتھِوْیاں کِمِیدرِشَں وِشْواسَں پْراپْسْیَتِ؟ | 8 |
He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
| یے سْوانْ دھارْمِّکانْ جْناتْوا پَرانْ تُچّھِیکُرْوَّنْتِ ایتادرِگْبھْیَح، کِیَدْبھْیَ اِمَں درِشْٹانْتَں کَتھَیاماسَ۔ | 9 |
Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
| ایکَح پھِرُوشْیَپَرَح کَرَسَنْچایِی دْواوِمَو پْرارْتھَیِتُں مَنْدِرَں گَتَو۔ | 10 |
“Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
| تَتوسَو پھِرُوشْییکَپارْشْوے تِشْٹھَنْ ہے اِیشْوَرَ اَہَمَنْیَلوکَوَتْ لوٹھَیِتانْیایِی پارَدارِکَشْچَ نَ بھَوامِ اَسْیَ کَرَسَنْچایِنَسْتُلْیَشْچَ نَ، تَسْماتّواں دھَنْیَں وَدامِ۔ | 11 |
The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
| سَپْتَسُ دِنیشُ دِنَدْوَیَمُپَوَسامِ سَرْوَّسَمْپَتّے رْدَشَماںشَں دَدامِ چَ، ایتَتْکَتھاں کَتھَیَنْ پْرارْتھَیاماسَ۔ | 12 |
I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
| کِنْتُ سَ کَرَسَنْچایِ دُورے تِشْٹھَنْ سْوَرْگَں دْرَشْٹُں نیچّھَنْ وَکْشَسِ کَراگھاتَں کُرْوَّنْ ہے اِیشْوَرَ پاپِشْٹھَں ماں دَیَسْوَ، اِتّھَں پْرارْتھَیاماسَ۔ | 13 |
Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even to raise his eyes to heaven, but he kept striking his breast and saying ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
| یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ، تَیورْدْوَیو رْمَدھْیے کیوَلَح کَرَسَنْچایِی پُنْیَوَتّوینَ گَنِتو نِجَگرِہَں جَگامَ، یَتو یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمُنَّمَیَتِ سَ نامَیِشْیَتے کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَں نَمَیَتِ سَ اُنَّمَیِشْیَتے۔ | 14 |
This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
| اَتھَ شِشُوناں گاتْرَسْپَرْشارْتھَں لوکاسْتانْ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَمانِنْیُح شِشْیاسْتَدْ درِشْٹْوانیترِنْ تَرْجَیاماسُح، | 15 |
Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
| کِنْتُ یِیشُسْتاناہُویَ جَگادَ، مَنِّکَٹَمْ آگَنْتُں شِشُونْ اَنُجانِیدھْوَں تاںشْچَ ما وارَیَتَ؛ یَتَ اِیشْوَرَراجْیادھِکارِنَ ایشاں سَدرِشاح۔ | 16 |
Jesus, however, called the little children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said, “and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
| اَہَں یُشْمانْ یَتھارْتھَں وَدامِ، یو جَنَح شِشوح سَدرِشو بھُوتْوا اِیشْوَرَراجْیَں نَ گرِہْلاتِ سَ کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ تَتْ پْرَویشْٹُں نَ شَکْنوتِ۔ | 17 |
I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
| اَپَرَمْ ایکودھِپَتِسْتَں پَپْرَچّھَ، ہے پَرَمَگُرو، اَنَنْتایُشَح پْراپْتَیے مَیا کِں کَرْتَّوْیَں؟ (aiōnios ) | 18 |
And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – “Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios )
| یِیشُرُواچَ، ماں کُتَح پَرَمَں وَدَسِ؟ اِیشْوَرَں وِنا کوپِ پَرَمو نَ بھَوَتِ۔ | 19 |
“Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
| پَرَدارانْ ما گَچّھَ، نَرَں ما جَہِ، ما چورَیَ، مِتھْیاساکْشْیَں ما دیہِ، ماتَرَں پِتَرَنْچَ سَںمَنْیَسْوَ، ایتا یا آجْناح سَنْتِ تاسْتْوَں جاناسِ۔ | 20 |
You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor your father and your mother.”
| تَدا سَ اُواچَ، بالْیَکالاتْ سَرْوّا ایتا آچَرامِ۔ | 21 |
“I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
| اِتِ کَتھاں شْرُتْوا یِیشُسْتَمَوَدَتْ، تَتھاپِ تَوَیکَں کَرْمَّ نْیُونَماسْتے، نِجَں سَرْوَّسْوَں وِکْرِییَ دَرِدْریبھْیو وِتَرَ، تَسْماتْ سْوَرْگے دھَنَں پْراپْسْیَسِ؛ تَتَ آگَتْیَ مَمانُگامِی بھَوَ۔ | 22 |
Hearing this, Jesus said to him, “There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
| کِنْتْویتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا سودھِپَتِح شُشوچَ، یَتَسْتَسْیَ بَہُدھَنَماسِیتْ۔ | 23 |
But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
| تَدا یِیشُسْتَمَتِشوکانْوِتَں درِشْٹْوا جَگادَ، دھَنَوَتامْ اِیشْوَرَراجْیَپْرَویشَح کِیدرِگْ دُشْکَرَح۔ | 24 |
Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
| اِیشْوَرَراجْیے دھَنِنَح پْرَویشاتْ سُوچیشْچھِدْرینَ مَہانْگَسْیَ گَمَناگَمَنے سُکَرے۔ | 25 |
It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!”
| شْروتارَح پَپْرَچّھُسْتَرْہِ کینَ پَرِتْرانَں پْراپْسْیَتے؟ | 26 |
“Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
| سَ اُکْتَوانْ، یَنْ مانُشیناشَکْیَں تَدْ اِیشْوَرینَ شَکْیَں۔ | 27 |
But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
| تَدا پِتَرَ اُواچَ، پَشْیَ وَیَں سَرْوَّسْوَں پَرِتْیَجْیَ تَوَ پَشْچادْگامِنوبھَوامَ۔ | 28 |
“But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
| تَتَح سَ اُواچَ، یُشْمانَہَں یَتھارْتھَں وَدامِ، اِیشْوَرَراجْیارْتھَں گرِہَں پِتَرَو بھْراترِگَنَں جایاں سَنْتاناںشْچَ تْیَکْتَوا | 29 |
“I tell you,” he answered, “that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
| اِہَ کالے تَتودھِکَں پَرَکالے نَنْتایُشْچَ نَ پْراپْسْیَتِ لوکَ اِیدرِشَح کوپِ ناسْتِ۔ (aiōn , aiōnios ) | 30 |
who will not receive many times as much in the present, and in the age that is coming eternal life.” (aiōn , aiōnios )
| اَنَنْتَرَں سَ دْوادَشَشِشْیاناہُویَ بَبھاشے، پَشْیَتَ وَیَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں یامَح، تَسْماتْ مَنُشْیَپُتْرے بھَوِشْیَدْوادِبھِرُکْتَں یَدَسْتِ تَدَنُرُوپَں تَں پْرَتِ گھَٹِشْیَتے؛ | 31 |
Gathering the Twelve around him, Jesus said to them, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
| وَسْتُتَسْتُ سونْیَدیشِییاناں ہَسْتیشُ سَمَرْپَیِشْیَتے، تے تَمُپَہَسِشْیَنْتِ، اَنْیایَماچَرِشْیَنْتِ تَدْوَپُشِ نِشْٹھِیوَں نِکْشیپْسْیَنْتِ، کَشابھِح پْرَہرِتْیَ تَں ہَنِشْیَنْتِ چَ، | 32 |
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
| کِنْتُ ترِتِییَدِنے سَ شْمَشانادْ اُتّھاسْیَتِ۔ | 33 |
they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
| ایتَسْیاح کَتھایا اَبھِپْرایَں کِنْچِدَپِ تے بودّھُں نَ شیکُح تیشاں نِکَٹےسْپَشْٹَتَواتْ تَسْیَیتاساں کَتھانامْ آشَیَں تے جْناتُں نَ شیکُشْچَ۔ | 34 |
The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
| اَتھَ تَسْمِنْ یِرِیہوح پُرَسْیانْتِکَں پْراپْتے کَشْچِدَنْدھَح پَتھَح پارْشْوَ اُپَوِشْیَ بھِکْشامْ اَکَروتْ | 35 |
As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
| سَ لوکَسَمُوہَسْیَ گَمَنَشَبْدَں شْرُتْوا تَتْکارَنَں پرِشْٹَوانْ۔ | 36 |
Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
| ناسَرَتِییَیِیشُرْیاتِیتِ لوکَیرُکْتے سَ اُچَّیرْوَکْتُماریبھے، | 37 |
and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
| ہے دایُودَح سَنْتانَ یِیشو ماں دَیَسْوَ۔ | 38 |
he shouted out, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
| تَتوگْرَگامِنَسْتَں مَونِی تِشْٹھیتِ تَرْجَیاماسُح کِنْتُ سَ پُنارُوَنْ اُواچَ، ہے دایُودَح سَنْتانَ ماں دَیَسْوَ۔ | 39 |
Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
| تَدا یِیشُح سْتھَگِتو بھُوتْوا سْوانْتِکے تَمانیتُمْ آدِدیشَ۔ | 40 |
Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
| تَتَح سَ تَسْیانْتِکَمْ آگَمَتْ، تَدا سَ تَں پَپْرَچّھَ، تْوَں کِمِچّھَسِ؟ تْوَدَرْتھَمَہَں کِں کَرِشْیامِ؟ سَ اُکْتَوانْ، ہے پْرَبھوہَں دْرَشْٹُں لَبھَے۔ | 41 |
“What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
| تَدا یِیشُرُواچَ، درِشْٹِشَکْتِں گرِہانَ تَوَ پْرَتْیَیَسْتْواں سْوَسْتھَں کرِتَوانْ۔ | 42 |
And Jesus said, “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
| تَتَسْتَتْکْشَناتْ تَسْیَ چَکْشُشِی پْرَسَنّے؛ تَسْماتْ سَ اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں وَدَنْ تَتْپَشْچادْ یَیَو، تَدالوکْیَ سَرْوّے لوکا اِیشْوَرَں پْرَشَںسِتُمْ آریبھِرے۔ | 43 |
Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
