1 apara nca lokairaklaantai rnirantara. m praarthayitavyam ityaa"sayena yii"sunaa d. r.s. taanta eka. h kathita. h|
And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart,
2 kutracinnagare ka"scit praa. dvivaaka aasiit sa ii"svaraannaabibhet maanu. saa. m"sca naamanyata|
saying: “There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man.
3 atha tatpuravaasinii kaacidvidhavaa tatsamiipametya vivaadinaa saha mama vivaada. m pari. skurvviti nivedayaamaasa|
But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’
4 tata. h sa praa. dvivaaka. h kiyaddinaani na tada"ngiik. rtavaan pa"scaaccitte cintayaamaasa, yadyapii"svaraanna bibhemi manu. syaanapi na manye
And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don't fear God nor regard man,
5 tathaapye. saa vidhavaa maa. m kli"snaati tasmaadasyaa vivaada. m pari. skari. syaami nocet saa sadaagatya maa. m vyagra. m kari. syati|
yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn't wear me out!’”
6 pa"scaat prabhuravadad asaavanyaayapraa. dvivaako yadaaha tatra mano nidhadhva. m|
Then the Lord said: “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7 ii"svarasya ye. abhirucitalokaa divaani"sa. m praarthayante sa bahudinaani vilambyaapi te. saa. m vivaadaan ki. m na pari. skari. syati?
And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with them?
8 yu. smaanaha. m vadaami tvarayaa pari. skari. syati, kintu yadaa manu. syaputra aagami. syati tadaa p. rthivyaa. m kimiid. r"sa. m vi"svaasa. m praapsyati?
I tell you that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?”
9 ye svaan dhaarmmikaan j naatvaa paraan tucchiikurvvanti etaad. rgbhya. h, kiyadbhya ima. m d. r.s. taanta. m kathayaamaasa|
Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest:
10 eka. h phiruu"syapara. h karasa ncaayii dvaavimau praarthayitu. m mandira. m gatau|
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 tato. asau phiruu"syekapaar"sve ti. s.than he ii"svara ahamanyalokavat lo. thayitaanyaayii paaradaarika"sca na bhavaami asya karasa ncaayinastulya"sca na, tasmaattvaa. m dhanya. m vadaami|
The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12 saptasu dine. su dinadvayamupavasaami sarvvasampatte rda"samaa. m"sa. m dadaami ca, etatkathaa. m kathayan praarthayaamaasa|
I fast twice a week; I tithe all that I get.’
13 kintu sa karasa ncaayi duure ti. s.than svarga. m dra. s.tu. m necchan vak. sasi karaaghaata. m kurvvan he ii"svara paapi. s.tha. m maa. m dayasva, ittha. m praarthayaamaasa|
The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
14 yu. smaanaha. m vadaami, tayordvayo rmadhye kevala. h karasa ncaayii pu. nyavattvena ga. nito nijag. rha. m jagaama, yato ya. h ka"scit svamunnamayati sa naamayi. syate kintu ya. h ka"scit sva. m namayati sa unnamayi. syate|
I say to you that this one went back home justified rather than that one; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 atha "si"suunaa. m gaatraspar"saartha. m lokaastaan tasya samiipamaaninyu. h "si. syaastad d. r.s. tvaanet. rn tarjayaamaasu. h,
Then they even started bringing their babies to Him, that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 kintu yii"sustaanaahuuya jagaada, mannika. tam aagantu. m "si"suun anujaaniidhva. m taa. m"sca maa vaarayata; yata ii"svararaajyaadhikaari. na e. saa. m sad. r"saa. h|
But Jesus summoned them and said: “Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them; because the Kingdom of God is of such.
17 aha. m yu. smaan yathaartha. m vadaami, yo jana. h "si"so. h sad. r"so bhuutvaa ii"svararaajya. m na g. rhlaati sa kenaapi prakaare. na tat prave. s.tu. m na "saknoti|
I tell you assuredly, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God the way a little child does will by no means enter it.”
18 aparam ekodhipatista. m papraccha, he paramaguro, anantaayu. sa. h praaptaye mayaa ki. m karttavya. m? (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 yii"suruvaaca, maa. m kuta. h parama. m vadasi? ii"svara. m vinaa kopi paramo na bhavati|
So Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
20 paradaaraan maa gaccha, nara. m maa jahi, maa coraya, mithyaasaak. sya. m maa dehi, maatara. m pitara nca sa. mmanyasva, etaa yaa aaj naa. h santi taastva. m jaanaasi|
You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and your mother.’”
21 tadaa sa uvaaca, baalyakaalaat sarvvaa etaa aacaraami|
And he said, “All these I have kept from my youth.”
22 iti kathaa. m "srutvaa yii"sustamavadat, tathaapi tavaika. m karmma nyuunamaaste, nija. m sarvvasva. m vikriiya daridrebhyo vitara, tasmaat svarge dhana. m praapsyasi; tata aagatya mamaanugaamii bhava|
Well upon hearing these things Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
23 kintvetaa. m kathaa. m "srutvaa sodhipati. h "su"soca, yatastasya bahudhanamaasiit|
But when he heard this he became very sad, because he was extremely rich.
24 tadaa yii"sustamati"sokaanvita. m d. r.s. tvaa jagaada, dhanavataam ii"svararaajyaprave"sa. h kiid. rg du. skara. h|
When Jesus saw that he became sad, He said: “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!
25 ii"svararaajye dhanina. h prave"saat suuce"schidre. na mahaa"ngasya gamanaagamane sukare|
It is actually easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!”
26 "srotaara. h papracchustarhi kena paritraa. na. m praapsyate?
So the hearers said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 sa uktavaan, yan maanu. se. naa"sakya. m tad ii"svare. na "sakya. m|
And He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 tadaa pitara uvaaca, pa"sya vaya. m sarvvasva. m parityajya tava pa"scaadgaamino. abhavaama|
Then Peter said, “Notice that we have left all and followed you!”
29 tata. h sa uvaaca, yu. smaanaha. m yathaartha. m vadaami, ii"svararaajyaartha. m g. rha. m pitarau bhraat. rga. na. m jaayaa. m santaanaa. m"sca tyaktavaa
So He said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 anantara. m sa dvaada"sa"si. syaanaahuuya babhaa. se, pa"syata vaya. m yiruu"saalamnagara. m yaama. h, tasmaat manu. syaputre bhavi. syadvaadibhirukta. m yadasti tadanuruupa. m ta. m prati gha. ti. syate;
Then He took the Twelve aside and said to them: “Take note, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of the Man will be fulfilled:
32 vastutastu so. anyade"siiyaanaa. m haste. su samarpayi. syate, te tamupahasi. syanti, anyaayamaacari. syanti tadvapu. si ni. s.thiiva. m nik. sepsyanti, ka"saabhi. h prah. rtya ta. m hani. syanti ca,
He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon,
33 kintu t. rtiiyadine sa "sma"saanaad utthaasyati|
and they will scourge and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
34 etasyaa. h kathaayaa abhipraaya. m ki ncidapi te boddhu. m na "seku. h te. saa. m nika. te. aspa. s.tatavaat tasyaitaasaa. m kathaanaam aa"saya. m te j naatu. m na "seku"sca|
But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know what was being said.
35 atha tasmin yiriiho. h purasyaantika. m praapte ka"scidandha. h patha. h paar"sva upavi"sya bhik. saam akarot
Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging.
36 sa lokasamuuhasya gamana"sabda. m "srutvaa tatkaara. na. m p. r.s. tavaan|
Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was.
37 naasaratiiyayii"suryaatiiti lokairukte sa uccairvaktumaarebhe,
So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by.
38 he daayuuda. h santaana yii"so maa. m dayasva|
Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 tatogragaaminasta. m maunii ti. s.theti tarjayaamaasu. h kintu sa punaaruvan uvaaca, he daayuuda. h santaana maa. m dayasva|
Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 tadaa yii"su. h sthagito bhuutvaa svaantike tamaanetum aadide"sa|
So Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to Him. When he got close He asked him, saying,
41 tata. h sa tasyaantikam aagamat, tadaa sa ta. m papraccha, tva. m kimicchasi? tvadarthamaha. m ki. m kari. syaami? sa uktavaan, he prabho. aha. m dra. s.tu. m labhai|
“What do you want me to do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see again!”
42 tadaa yii"suruvaaca, d. r.s. ti"sakti. m g. rhaa. na tava pratyayastvaa. m svastha. m k. rtavaan|
Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”
43 tatastatk. sa. naat tasya cak. su. sii prasanne; tasmaat sa ii"svara. m dhanya. m vadan tatpa"scaad yayau, tadaalokya sarvve lokaa ii"svara. m pra"sa. msitum aarebhire|
And immediately he did! and he followed Him, glorifying God. And all who witnessed it gave praise to God.
