< لُوکَح 7 >

تَتَح پَرَں سَ لوکاناں کَرْنَگوچَرے تانْ سَرْوّانْ اُپَدیشانْ سَماپْیَ یَدا کَپھَرْناہُومْپُرَں پْرَوِشَتِ 1
When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
تَدا شَتَسیناپَتیح پْرِیَداسَ ایکو مرِتَکَلْپَح پِیڈِتَ آسِیتْ۔ 2
A centurion in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill – almost at the point of death.
اَتَح سیناپَتِ رْیِیشو رْوارْتّاں نِشَمْیَ داسَسْیاروگْیَکَرَنایَ تَسْیاگَمَنارْتھَں وِنَیَکَرَنایَ یِہُودِییانْ کِیَتَح پْراچَح پْریشَیاماسَ۔ 3
And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
تے یِیشورَنْتِکَں گَتْوا وِنَیاتِشَیَں وَکْتُماریبھِرے، سَ سیناپَتِ رْبھَوَتونُگْرَہَں پْراپْتُمْ اَرْہَتِ۔ 4
When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He deserves the favor from you,” they said,
یَتَح سوسْمَجّاتِیییشُ لوکیشُ پْرِییَتے تَتھاسْمَتْکرِتے بھَجَنَگیہَں نِرْمِّتَوانْ۔ 5
“For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our synagogue for us.”
تَسْمادْ یِیشُسْتَیح سَہَ گَتْوا نِویشَنَسْیَ سَمِیپَں پْراپَ، تَدا سَ شَتَسیناپَتِ رْوَکْشْیَمانَواکْیَں تَں وَکْتُں بَنْدھُونْ پْراہِنوتْ۔ ہے پْرَبھو سْوَیَں شْرَمو نَ کَرْتَّوْیو یَدْ بھَوَتا مَدْگیہَمَدھْیے پادارْپَنَں کْرِییتَ تَدَپْیَہَں نارْہامِ، 6
So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the centurion sent some friends with the message – “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
کِنْچاہَں بھَوَتْسَمِیپَں یاتُمَپِ ناتْمانَں یوگْیَں بُدّھَوانْ، تَتو بھَوانْ واکْیَماتْرَں وَدَتُ تینَیوَ مَمَ داسَح سْوَسْتھو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ 7
That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
یَسْمادْ اَہَں پَرادھِینوپِ مَمادھِینا یاح سیناح سَنْتِ تاسامْ ایکَجَنَں پْرَتِ یاہِیتِ مَیا پْروکْتے سَ یاتِ؛ تَدَنْیَں پْرَتِ آیاہِیتِ پْروکْتے سَ آیاتِ؛ تَتھا نِجَداسَں پْرَتِ ایتَتْ کُرْوِّتِ پْروکْتے سَ تَدیوَ کَروتِ۔ 8
For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
یِیشُرِدَں واکْیَں شْرُتْوا وِسْمَیَں یَیَو، مُکھَں پَراوَرْتْیَ پَشْچادْوَرْتِّنو لوکانْ بَبھاشے چَ، یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ اِسْراییلو وَںشَمَدھْییپِ وِشْواسَمِیدرِشَں نَ پْراپْنَوَں۔ 9
Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said, “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
تَتَسْتے پْریشِتا گرِہَں گَتْوا تَں پِیڈِتَں داسَں سْوَسْتھَں دَدرِشُح۔ 10
And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
پَرےہَنِ سَ نایِیناکھْیَں نَگَرَں جَگامَ تَسْیانیکے شِشْیا اَنْیے چَ لوکاسْتینَ سارْدّھَں یَیُح۔ 11
Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
تیشُ تَنَّگَرَسْیَ دْوارَسَنِّدھِں پْراپْتیشُ کِیَنْتو لوکا ایکَں مرِتَمَنُجَں وَہَنْتو نَگَرَسْیَ بَہِرْیانْتِ، سَ تَنْماتُریکَپُتْرَسْتَنْماتا چَ وِدھَوا؛ تَیا سارْدّھَں تَنَّگَرِییا بَہَوو لوکا آسَنْ۔ 12
Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial – an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
پْرَبھُسْتاں وِلوکْیَ سانُکَمْپَح کَتھَیاماسَ، ما رودِیح۔ سَ سَمِیپَمِتْوا کھَٹْواں پَسْپَرْشَ تَسْمادْ واہَکاح سْتھَگِتاسْتَمْیُح؛ 13
When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her, “Do not weep.”
تَدا سَ اُواچَ ہے یُوَمَنُشْیَ تْوَمُتِّشْٹھَ، تْوامَہَمْ آجْناپَیامِ۔ 14
Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said, “Young man, I am speaking to you – Rise!”
تَسْماتْ سَ مرِتو جَنَسْتَتْکْشَنَمُتّھایَ کَتھاں پْرَکَتھِتَح؛ تَتو یِیشُسْتَسْیَ ماتَرِ تَں سَمَرْپَیاماسَ۔ 15
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
تَسْماتْ سَرْوّے لوکاح شَشَنْکِرے؛ ایکو مَہابھَوِشْیَدْوادِی مَدھْیےسْماکَمْ سَمُدَیتْ، اِیشْوَرَشْچَ سْوَلوکانَنْوَگرِہْلاتْ کَتھامِماں کَتھَیِتْوا اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں جَگَدُح۔ 16
Everyone was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great prophet has arisen among us,” they said. “God has visited his people.”
تَتَح پَرَں سَمَسْتَں یِہُودادیشَں تَسْیَ چَتُرْدِکْسْتھَدیشَنْچَ تَسْیَیتَتْکِیرْتِّ رْوْیانَشے۔ 17
And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
تَتَح پَرَں یوہَنَح شِشْییشُ تَں تَدْورِتّانْتَں جْناپِتَوَتْسُ 18
All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
سَ سْوَشِشْیاناں دْوَو جَناواہُویَ یِیشُں پْرَتِ وَکْشْیَمانَں واکْیَں وَکْتُں پْریشَیاماسَ، یَسْیاگَمَنَمْ اَپیکْشْیَ تِشْٹھامو وَیَں کِں سَ ایوَ جَنَسْتْوَں؟ کِں وَیَمَنْیَمَپیکْشْیَ سْتھاسْیامَح؟ 19
So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask – “Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
پَشْچاتَّو مانَوَو گَتْوا کَتھَیاماسَتُح، یَسْیاگَمَنَمْ اَپیکْشْیَ تِشْٹھامو وَیَں، کِں سَایوَ جَنَسْتْوَں؟ کِں وَیَمَنْیَمَپیکْشْیَ سْتھاسْیامَح؟ کَتھامِماں تُبھْیَں کَتھَیِتُں یوہَنْ مَجَّکَ آواں پْریشِتَوانْ۔ 20
When these men found Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask – Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for somebody else?”
تَسْمِنْ دَنْڈے یِیشُوروگِنو مَہاوْیادھِمَتو دُشْٹَبھُوتَگْرَسْتاںشْچَ بَہُونْ سْوَسْتھانْ کرِتْوا، اَنیکانْدھیبھْیَشْچَکْشُںشِ دَتّوا پْرَتْیُواچَ، 21
At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
یُواں وْرَجَتَمْ اَنْدھا نیتْرانِ کھَنْجاشْچَرَنانِ چَ پْراپْنُوَنْتِ، کُشْٹھِنَح پَرِشْکْرِیَنْتے، بَدھِراح شْرَوَنانِ مرِتاشْچَ جِیوَنانِ پْراپْنُوَنْتِ، دَرِدْراناں سَمِیپیشُ سُسَںوادَح پْرَچارْیَّتے، یَں پْرَتِ وِگھْنَسْوَرُوپوہَں نَ بھَوامِ سَ دھَنْیَح، 22
So his answer to the question was, “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard – the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is told to the poor.
ایتانِ یانِ پَشْیَتھَح شرِنُتھَشْچَ تانِ یوہَنَں جْناپَیَتَمْ۔ 23
And blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.”
تَیو رْدُوتَیو رْگَتَیوح سَتو رْیوہَنِ سَ لوکانْ وَکْتُمُپَچَکْرَمے، یُویَں مَدھْییپْرانْتَرَں کِں دْرَشْٹُں نِرَگَمَتَ؟ کِں وایُنا کَمْپِتَں نَڈَں؟ 24
When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John,
یُویَں کِں دْرَشْٹُں نِرَگَمَتَ؟ کِں سُوکْشْمَوَسْتْرَپَرِدھایِنَں کَمَپِ نَرَں؟ کِنْتُ یے سُوکْشْمَمرِدُوَسْتْرانِ پَرِدَدھَتِ سُوتَّمانِ دْرَوْیانِ بھُنْجَتے چَ تے راجَدھانِیشُ تِشْٹھَنْتِ۔ 25
“What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
تَرْہِ یُویَں کِں دْرَشْٹُں نِرَگَمَتَ؟ کِمیکَں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَں؟ تَدیوَ سَتْیَں کِنْتُ سَ پُمانْ بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنوپِ شْریشْٹھَ اِتْیَہَں یُشْمانْ وَدامِ؛ 26
What then did you go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
پَشْیَ سْوَکِییَدُوتَنْتُ تَواگْرَ پْریشَیامْیَہَں۔ گَتْوا تْوَدِییَمارْگَنْتُ سَ ہِ پَرِشْکَرِشْیَتِ۔ یَدَرْتھے لِپِرِیَمْ آسْتے سَ ایوَ یوہَنْ۔ 27
This is the man of whom scripture says – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’
اَتو یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ سْتْرِیا گَرْبّھَجاتاناں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِناں مَدھْیے یوہَنو مَجَّکاتْ شْریشْٹھَح کوپِ ناسْتِ، تَتْراپِ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیے یَح سَرْوَّسْماتْ کْشُدْرَح سَ یوہَنوپِ شْریشْٹھَح۔ 28
There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
اَپَرَنْچَ سَرْوّے لوکاح کَرَمَنْچایِنَشْچَ تَسْیَ واکْیانِ شْرُتْوا یوہَنا مَجَّنینَ مَجِّتاح پَرَمیشْوَرَں نِرْدوشَں مینِرے۔ 29
(All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax collectors, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
کِنْتُ پھِرُوشِنو وْیَوَسْتھاپَکاشْچَ تینَ نَ مَجِّتاح سْوانْ پْرَتِیشْوَرَسْیوپَدیشَں نِشْپھَلَمْ اَکُرْوَّنْ۔ 30
But the Pharisees and the students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
اَتھَ پْرَبھُح کَتھَیاماسَ، اِدانِینْتَنَجَنانْ کینوپَمامِ؟ تے کَسْیَ سَدرِشاح؟ 31
“To what then,” Jesus continued, “should I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
یے بالَکا وِپَنْیامْ اُپَوِشْیَ پَرَسْپَرَمْ آہُویَ واکْیَمِدَں وَدَنْتِ، وَیَں یُشْماکَں نِکَٹے وَںشِیرَوادِشْمَ، کِنْتُ یُویَں نانَرْتِّشْٹَ، وَیَں یُشْماکَں نِکَٹَ اَرودِشْمَ، کِنْتُ یُیَں نَ وْیَلَپِشْٹَ، بالَکَیریتادرِشَیسْتیشامْ اُپَما بھَوَتِ۔ 32
They are like some little children who are sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another – ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
یَتو یوہَنْ مَجَّکَ آگَتْیَ پُوپَں ناکھادَتْ دْراکْشارَسَنْچَ ناپِوَتْ تَسْمادْ یُویَں وَدَتھَ، بھُوتَگْرَسْتویَمْ۔ 33
For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
تَتَح پَرَں مانَوَسُتَ آگَتْیاکھادَدَپِوَنْچَ تَسْمادْ یُویَں وَدَتھَ، کھادَکَح سُراپَشْچانْڈالَپاپِناں بَنْدھُریکو جَنو درِشْیَتامْ۔ 34
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts.’
کِنْتُ جْنانِنو جْنانَں نِرْدوشَں وِدُح۔ 35
And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
پَشْچادیکَح پھِرُوشِی یِیشُں بھوجَنایَ نْیَمَنْتْرَیَتْ تَتَح سَ تَسْیَ گرِہَں گَتْوا بھوکْتُمُپَوِشْٹَح۔ 36
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at the table.
ایتَرْہِ تَتْپھِرُوشِنو گرِہے یِیشُ رْبھیکْتُمْ اُپاویکْشِیتْ تَچّھرُتْوا تَنَّگَرَواسِنِی کاپِ دُشْٹا نارِی پانْڈَرَپْرَسْتَرَسْیَ سَمْپُٹَکے سُگَنْدھِتَیلَمْ آنِییَ 37
Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
تَسْیَ پَشْچاتْ پادَیوح سَنِّدھَو تَسْیَو رُدَتِی چَ نیتْرامْبُبھِسْتَسْیَ چَرَنَو پْرَکْشالْیَ نِجَکَچَیرَمارْکْشِیتْ، تَتَسْتَسْیَ چَرَنَو چُمْبِتْوا تینَ سُگَنْدھِتَیلینَ مَمَرْدَ۔ 38
and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
تَسْماتْ سَ نِمَنْتْرَیِتا پھِرُوشِی مَنَسا چِنْتَیاماسَ، یَدْیَیَں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِی بھَویتْ تَرْہِ اینَں سْپرِشَتِ یا سْتْرِی سا کا کِیدرِشِی چیتِ جْناتُں شَکْنُیاتْ یَتَح سا دُشْٹا۔ 39
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “Had this man been ‘the prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
تَدا یاشُسْتَں جَگادَ، ہے شِمونْ تْواں پْرَتِ مَمَ کِنْچِدْ وَکْتَوْیَمَسْتِ؛ تَسْماتْ سَ بَبھاشے، ہے گُرو تَدْ وَدَتُ۔ 40
But, addressing him, Jesus said, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began,
ایکوتَّمَرْنَسْیَ دْواوَدھَمَرْناواسْتاں، تَیوریکَح پَنْچَشَتانِ مُدْراپادانْ اَپَرَشْچَ پَنْچاشَتْ مُدْراپادانْ دھارَیاماسَ۔ 41
“There were two people who were in debt to a moneylender; one owed five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.
تَدَنَنْتَرَں تَیوح شودھْیابھاواتْ سَ اُتَّمَرْنَسْتَیو ررِنے چَکْشَمے؛ تَسْماتْ تَیورْدْوَیوح کَسْتَسْمِنْ پْریشْیَتے بَہُ؟ تَدْ بْرُوہِ۔ 42
As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
شِمونْ پْرَتْیُواچَ، مَیا بُدھْیَتے یَسْیادھِکَمْ رِنَں چَکْشَمے سَ اِتِ؛ تَتو یِیشُسْتَں وْیاجَہارَ، تْوَں یَتھارْتھَں وْیَچارَیَح۔ 43
“I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
اَتھَ تاں نارِیں پْرَتِ وْیاگھُٹھْیَ شِمونَمَووچَتْ، سْتْرِیمِماں پَشْیَسِ؟ تَوَ گرِہے مَیّاگَتے تْوَں پادَپْرَکْشالَنارْتھَں جَلَں ناداح کِنْتُ یوشِدیشا نَیَنَجَلَے رْمَمَ پادَو پْرَکْشالْیَ کیشَیرَمارْکْشِیتْ۔ 44
and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house – you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
تْوَں ماں ناچُمْبِیح کِنْتُ یوشِدیشا سْوِییاگَمَنادارَبھْیَ مَدِییَپادَو چُمْبِتُں نَ وْیَرَںسْتَ۔ 45
You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
تْوَنْچَ مَدِییوتَّمانْگے کِنْچِدَپِ تَیلَں نامَرْدِیح کِنْتُ یوشِدیشا مَمَ چَرَنَو سُگَنْدھِتَیلینامَرْدِّیتْ۔ 46
You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
اَتَسْتْواں وْیاہَرامِ، ایتَسْیا بَہُ پاپَمَکْشَمْیَتَ تَتو بَہُ پْرِییَتے کِنْتُ یَسْیالْپَپاپَں کْشَمْیَتے سولْپَں پْرِییَتے۔ 47
So I tell you, her great love shows that her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned. One who is pardoned little loves little.”
تَتَح پَرَں سَ تاں بَبھاشے، تْوَدِییَں پاپَمَکْشَمْیَتَ۔ 48
Then he said to the woman, “Your sins have been pardoned.”
تَدا تینَ سارْدّھَں یے بھوکْتُمْ اُپَوِوِشُسْتے پَرَسْپَرَں وَکْتُماریبھِرے، اَیَں پاپَں کْشَمَتے کَ ایشَح؟ 49
The other guests began to say to one another, “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
کِنْتُ سَ تاں نارِیں جَگادَ، تَوَ وِشْواسَسْتْواں پَرْیَّتْراسْتَ تْوَں کْشیمینَ وْرَجَ۔ 50
But Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
