Luke 11
1 One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
anantaraṁ sa kasmiṁścit sthāne prārthayata tatsamāptau satyāṁ tasyaikaḥ śiṣyastaṁ jagāda he prabho yohan yathā svaśiṣyān prārthayitum upadiṣṭavān tathā bhavānapyasmān upadiśatu|
2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
tasmāt sa kathayāmāsa, prārthanakāle yūyam itthaṁ kathayadhvaṁ, he asmākaṁ svargasthapitastava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu; tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; svarge yathā tathā pṛthivyāmapi tavecchayā sarvvaṁ bhavatu|
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
pratyaham asmākaṁ prayojanīyaṁ bhojyaṁ dehi|
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
yathā vayaṁ sarvvān aparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahe tathā tvamapi pāpānyasmākaṁ kṣamasva| asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya kintu pāpātmano rakṣa|
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
paścāt soparamapi kathitavān yadi yuṣmākaṁ kasyacid bandhustiṣṭhati niśīthe ca tasya samīpaṁ sa gatvā vadati,
6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
he bandho pathika eko bandhu rmama niveśanam āyātaḥ kintu tasyātithyaṁ karttuṁ mamāntike kimapi nāsti, ataeva pūpatrayaṁ mahyam ṛṇaṁ dehi;
7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’
tadā sa yadi gṛhamadhyāt prativadati māṁ mā kliśāna, idānīṁ dvāraṁ ruddhaṁ śayane mayā saha bālakāśca tiṣṭhanti tubhyaṁ dātum utthātuṁ na śaknomi,
8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
tarhi yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, sa yadi mitratayā tasmai kimapi dātuṁ nottiṣṭhati tathāpi vāraṁ vāraṁ prārthanāta utthāpitaḥ san yasmin tasya prayojanaṁ tadeva dāsyati|
9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
ataḥ kāraṇāt kathayāmi, yācadhvaṁ tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyate, mṛgayadhvaṁ tata uddeśaṁ prāpsyatha, dvāram āhata tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dvāraṁ mokṣyate|
10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
yo yācate sa prāpnoti, yo mṛgayate sa evoddeśaṁ prāpnoti, yo dvāram āhanti tadarthaṁ dvāraṁ mocyate|
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
putreṇa pūpe yācite tasmai pāṣāṇaṁ dadāti vā matsye yācite tasmai sarpaṁ dadāti
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
vā aṇḍe yācite tasmai vṛścikaṁ dadāti yuṣmākaṁ madhye ka etādṛśaḥ pitāste?
13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
tasmādeva yūyamabhadrā api yadi svasvabālakebhya uttamāni dravyāṇi dātuṁ jānītha tarhyasmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā nijayācakebhyaḥ kiṁ pavitram ātmānaṁ na dāsyati?
14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,
anantaraṁ yīśunā kasmāccid ekasmin mūkabhūte tyājite sati sa bhūtatyakto mānuṣo vākyaṁ vaktum ārebhe; tato lokāḥ sakalā āścaryyaṁ menire|
15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”
kintu teṣāṁ kecidūcu rjanoyaṁ bālasibūbā arthād bhūtarājena bhūtān tyājayati|
16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.
taṁ parīkṣituṁ kecid ākāśīyam ekaṁ cihnaṁ darśayituṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrire|
17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.
tadā sa teṣāṁ manaḥkalpanāṁ jñātvā kathayāmāsa, kasyacid rājyasya lokā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tad rājyam naśyati; kecid gṛhasthā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tepi naśyanti|
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
tathaiva śaitānapi svalokān yadi viruṇaddhi tadā tasya rājyaṁ kathaṁ sthāsyati? bālasibūbāhaṁ bhūtān tyājayāmi yūyamiti vadatha|
19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
yadyahaṁ bālasibūbā bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ santānāḥ kena tyājayanti? tasmāt taeva kathāyā etasyā vicārayitāro bhaviṣyanti|
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
kintu yadyaham īśvarasya parākrameṇa bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭam īśvarasya rājyamavaśyam upatiṣṭhati|
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.
balavān pumān susajjamāno yatikālaṁ nijāṭṭālikāṁ rakṣati tatikālaṁ tasya dravyaṁ nirupadravaṁ tiṣṭhati|
22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.
kintu tasmād adhikabalaḥ kaścidāgatya yadi taṁ jayati tarhi yeṣu śastrāstreṣu tasya viśvāsa āsīt tāni sarvvāṇi hṛtvā tasya dravyāṇi gṛhlāti|
23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
ataḥ kāraṇād yo mama sapakṣo na sa vipakṣaḥ, yo mayā saha na saṁgṛhlāti sa vikirati|
24 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
aparañca amedhyabhūto mānuṣasyāntarnirgatya śuṣkasthāne bhrāntvā viśrāmaṁ mṛgayate kintu na prāpya vadati mama yasmād gṛhād āgatohaṁ punastad gṛhaṁ parāvṛtya yāmi|
25 On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
tato gatvā tad gṛhaṁ mārjitaṁ śobhitañca dṛṣṭvā
26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”
tatkṣaṇam apagatya svasmādapi durmmatīn aparān saptabhūtān sahānayati te ca tadgṛhaṁ paviśya nivasanti| tasmāt tasya manuṣyasya prathamadaśātaḥ śeṣadaśā duḥkhatarā bhavati|
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”
asyāḥ kathāyāḥ kathanakāle janatāmadhyasthā kācinnārī tamuccaiḥsvaraṁ provāca, yā yoṣit tvāṁ garbbhe'dhārayat stanyamapāyayacca saiva dhanyā|
28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
kintu sokathayat ye parameśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpam ācaranti taeva dhanyāḥ|
29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
tataḥ paraṁ tasyāntike bahulokānāṁ samāgame jāte sa vaktumārebhe, ādhunikā duṣṭalokāścihnaṁ draṣṭumicchanti kintu yūnasbhaviṣyadvādinaścihnaṁ vinānyat kiñciccihnaṁ tān na darśayiṣyate|
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
yūnas tu yathā nīnivīyalokānāṁ samīpe cihnarūpobhavat tathā vidyamānalokānām eṣāṁ samīpe manuṣyaputropi cihnarūpo bhaviṣyati|
31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.
vicārasamaye idānīntanalokānāṁ prātikūlyena dakṣiṇadeśīyā rājñī protthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyati, yataḥ sā rājñī sulemāna upadeśakathāṁ śrotuṁ pṛthivyāḥ sīmāta āgacchat kintu paśyata sulemānopi gurutara eko jano'smin sthāne vidyate|
32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
aparañca vicārasamaye nīnivīyalokā api varttamānakālikānāṁ lokānāṁ vaiparītyena protthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyanti, yato hetoste yūnaso vākyāt cittāni parivarttayāmāsuḥ kintu paśyata yūnasotigurutara eko jano'smin sthāne vidyate|
33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
pradīpaṁ prajvālya droṇasyādhaḥ kutrāpi guptasthāne vā kopi na sthāpayati kintu gṛhapraveśibhyo dīptiṁ dātaṁ dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayati|
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.
dehasya pradīpaścakṣustasmādeva cakṣu ryadi prasannaṁ bhavati tarhi tava sarvvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati kintu cakṣu ryadi malīmasaṁ tiṣṭhati tarhi sarvvaśarīraṁ sāndhakāraṁ sthāsyati|
35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
asmāt kāraṇāt tavāntaḥsthaṁ jyoti ryathāndhakāramayaṁ na bhavati tadarthe sāvadhāno bhava|
36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”
yataḥ śarīrasya kutrāpyaṁśe sāndhakāre na jāte sarvvaṁ yadi dīptimat tiṣṭhati tarhi tubhyaṁ dīptidāyiprojjvalan pradīpa iva tava savarvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati|
37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.
etatkathāyāḥ kathanakāle phiruśyeko bhejanāya taṁ nimantrayāmāsa, tataḥ sa gatvā bhoktum upaviveśa|
38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
kintu bhojanāt pūrvvaṁ nāmāṅkṣīt etad dṛṣṭvā sa phiruśyāścaryyaṁ mene|
39 “Now then,” said the Lord, “you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
tadā prabhustaṁ provāca yūyaṁ phirūśilokāḥ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha kintu yuṣmākamanta rdaurātmyai rduṣkriyābhiśca paripūrṇaṁ tiṣṭhati|
40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?
he sarvve nirbodhā yo bahiḥ sasarja sa eva kimanta rna sasarja?
41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
tata eva yuṣmābhirantaḥkaraṇaṁ (īśvarāya) nivedyatāṁ tasmin kṛte yuṣmākaṁ sarvvāṇi śucitāṁ yāsyanti|
42 Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
kintu hanta phirūśigaṇā yūyaṁ nyāyam īśvare prema ca parityajya podināyā arudādīnāṁ sarvveṣāṁ śākānāñca daśamāṁśān dattha kintu prathamaṁ pālayitvā śeṣasyālaṅghanaṁ yuṣmākam ucitamāsīt|
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
hā hā phirūśino yūyaṁ bhajanagehe proccāsane āpaṇeṣu ca namaskāreṣu prīyadhve|
44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
vata kapaṭino'dhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca lokāyat śmaśānam anupalabhya tadupari gacchanti yūyam tādṛgaprakāśitaśmaśānavād bhavatha|
45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
tadānīṁ vyavasthāpakānām ekā yīśumavadat, he upadeśaka vākyenedṛśenāsmāsvapi doṣam āropayasi|
46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
tataḥ sa uvāca, hā hā vyavasthāpakā yūyam mānuṣāṇām upari duḥsahyān bhārān nyasyatha kintu svayam ekāṅgulyāpi tān bhārān na spṛśatha|
47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
hanta yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā yān bhaviṣyadvādino'vadhiṣusteṣāṁ śmaśānāni yūyaṁ nirmmātha|
48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
tenaiva yūyaṁ svapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ karmmāṇi saṁmanyadhve tadeva sapramāṇaṁ kurutha ca, yataste tānavadhiṣuḥ yūyaṁ teṣāṁ śmaśānāni nirmmātha|
49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
ataeva īśvarasya śāstre proktamasti teṣāmantike bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ preritāṁśca preṣayiṣyāmi tataste teṣāṁ kāṁścana haniṣyanti kāṁścana tāḍaśṣyinti|
50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,
etasmāt kāraṇāt hābilaḥ śoṇitapātamārabhya mandirayajñavedyo rmadhye hatasya sikhariyasya raktapātaparyyantaṁ
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
jagataḥ sṛṣṭimārabhya pṛthivyāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ yatiraktapātā jātāstatīnām aparādhadaṇḍā eṣāṁ varttamānalokānāṁ bhaviṣyanti, yuṣmānahaṁ niścitaṁ vadāmi sarvve daṇḍā vaṁśasyāsya bhaviṣyanti|
52 Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
hā hā vyavasthapakā yūyaṁ jñānasya kuñcikāṁ hṛtvā svayaṁ na praviṣṭā ye praveṣṭuñca prayāsinastānapi praveṣṭuṁ vāritavantaḥ|
53 As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,
itthaṁ kathākathanād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca satarkāḥ
54 waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
santastamapavadituṁ tasya kathāyā doṣaṁ dharttamicchanto nānākhyānakathanāya taṁ pravarttayituṁ kopayituñca prārebhire|
