Luke 8
1 And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
aparañca yīśu rdvādaśabhiḥ śiṣyaiḥ sārddhaṁ nānānagareṣu nānāgrāmeṣu ca gacchan iśvarīyarājatvasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ prārebhe|
2 along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
tadā yasyāḥ sapta bhūtā niragacchan sā magdalīnīti vikhyātā mariyam herodrājasya gṛhādhipateḥ hoṣe rbhāryyā yohanā śūśānā
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
prabhṛtayo yā bahvyaḥ striyaḥ duṣṭabhūtebhyo rogebhyaśca muktāḥ satyo nijavibhūtī rvyayitvā tamasevanta, tāḥ sarvvāstena sārddham āsan|
4 Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
anantaraṁ nānānagarebhyo bahavo lokā āgatya tasya samīpe'milan, tadā sa tebhya ekāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāṁ kathayāmāsa| ekaḥ kṛṣībalo bījāni vaptuṁ bahirjagāma,
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
tato vapanakāle katipayāni bījāni mārgapārśve petuḥ, tatastāni padatalai rdalitāni pakṣibhi rbhakṣitāni ca|
6 And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
katipayāni bījāni pāṣāṇasthale patitāni yadyapi tānyaṅkuritāni tathāpi rasābhāvāt śuśuṣuḥ|
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
katipayāni bījāni kaṇṭakivanamadhye patitāni tataḥ kaṇṭakivanāni saṁvṛddhya tāni jagrasuḥ|
8 And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
tadanyāni katipayabījāni ca bhūmyāmuttamāyāṁ petustatastānyaṅkurayitvā śataguṇāni phalāni pheluḥ| sa imā kathāṁ kathayitvā proccaiḥ provāca, yasya śrotuṁ śrotre staḥ sa śṛṇotu|
9 Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
tataḥ paraṁ śiṣyāstaṁ papracchurasya dṛṣṭāntasya kiṁ tātparyyaṁ?
10 And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
tataḥ sa vyājahāra, īśvarīyarājyasya guhyāni jñātuṁ yuṣmabhyamadhikāro dīyate kintvanye yathā dṛṣṭvāpi na paśyanti śrutvāpi ma budhyante ca tadarthaṁ teṣāṁ purastāt tāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā dṛṣṭāntena kathyante|
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
dṛṣṭāntasyāsyābhiprāyaḥ, īśvarīyakathā bījasvarūpā|
12 And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
ye kathāmātraṁ śṛṇvanti kintu paścād viśvasya yathā paritrāṇaṁ na prāpnuvanti tadāśayena śaitānetya hṛdayātṛ tāṁ kathām apaharati ta eva mārgapārśvasthabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
13 Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
ye kathaṁ śrutvā sānandaṁ gṛhlanti kintvabaddhamūlatvāt svalpakālamātraṁ pratītya parīkṣākāle bhraśyanti taeva pāṣāṇabhūmisvarūpāḥ|
14 And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
ye kathāṁ śrutvā yānti viṣayacintāyāṁ dhanalobhena ehikasukhe ca majjanta upayuktaphalāni na phalanti ta evoptabījakaṇṭakibhūsvarūpāḥ|
15 But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
kintu ye śrutvā saralaiḥ śuddhaiścāntaḥkaraṇaiḥ kathāṁ gṛhlanti dhairyyam avalambya phalānyutpādayanti ca ta evottamamṛtsvarūpāḥ|
16 Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
aparañca pradīpaṁ prajvālya kopi pātreṇa nācchādayati tathā khaṭvādhopi na sthāpayati, kintu dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayati, tasmāt praveśakā dīptiṁ paśyanti|
17 For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
yanna prakāśayiṣyate tādṛg aprakāśitaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti yacca na suvyaktaṁ pracārayiṣyate tādṛg gṛptaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti|
18 Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
ato yūyaṁ kena prakāreṇa śṛṇutha tatra sāvadhānā bhavata, yasya samīpe barddhate tasmai punardāsyate kintu yasyāśraye na barddhate tasya yadyadasti tadapi tasmāt neṣyate|
19 Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
aparañca yīśo rmātā bhrātaraśca tasya samīpaṁ jigamiṣavaḥ
20 And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
kintu janatāsambādhāt tatsannidhiṁ prāptuṁ na śekuḥ| tatpaścāt tava mātā bhrātaraśca tvāṁ sākṣāt cikīrṣanto bahistiṣṭhanatīti vārttāyāṁ tasmai kathitāyāṁ
21 And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
sa pratyuvāca; ye janā īśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpamācaranti taeva mama mātā bhrātaraśca|
22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
anantaraṁ ekadā yīśuḥ śiṣyaiḥ sārddhaṁ nāvamāruhya jagāda, āyāta vayaṁ hradasya pāraṁ yāmaḥ, tataste jagmuḥ|
23 And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
teṣu naukāṁ vāhayatsu sa nidadrau;
24 Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
athākasmāt prabalajhañbhśagamād hrade naukāyāṁ taraṅgairācchannāyāṁ vipat tān jagrāsa|tasmād yīśorantikaṁ gatvā he guro he guro prāṇā no yāntīti gaditvā taṁ jāgarayāmbabhūvuḥ|tadā sa utthāya vāyuṁ taraṅgāṁśca tarjayāmāsa tasmādubhau nivṛtya sthirau babhūvatuḥ|
25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
sa tān babhāṣe yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsaḥ ka? tasmātte bhītā vismitāśca parasparaṁ jagaduḥ, aho kīdṛgayaṁ manujaḥ pavanaṁ pānīyañcādiśati tadubhayaṁ tadādeśaṁ vahati|
26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
tataḥ paraṁ gālīlpradeśasya sammukhasthagiderīyapradeśe naukāyāṁ lagantyāṁ taṭe'varohamāvād
27 And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
bahutithakālaṁ bhūtagrasta eko mānuṣaḥ purādāgatya taṁ sākṣāccakāra| sa manuṣo vāso na paridadhat gṛhe ca na vasan kevalaṁ śmaśānam adhyuvāsa|
28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
sa yīśuṁ dṛṣṭvaiva cīcchabdaṁ cakāra tasya sammukhe patitvā proccairjagāda ca, he sarvvapradhāneśvarasya putra, mayā saha tava kaḥ sambandhaḥ? tvayi vinayaṁ karomi māṁ mā yātaya|
29 For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
yataḥ sa taṁ mānuṣaṁ tyaktvā yātum amedhyabhūtam ādideśa; sa bhūtastaṁ mānuṣam asakṛd dadhāra tasmāllokāḥ śṛṅkhalena nigaḍena ca babandhuḥ; sa tad bhaṁktvā bhūtavaśatvāt madhyeprāntaraṁ yayau|
30 Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
anantaraṁ yīśustaṁ papraccha tava kinnāma? sa uvāca, mama nāma bāhino yato bahavo bhūtāstamāśiśriyuḥ|
atha bhūtā vinayena jagaduḥ, gabhīraṁ garttaṁ gantuṁ mājñāpayāsmān| (Abyssos g12)
32 And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
tadā parvvatopari varāhavrajaścarati tasmād bhūtā vinayena procuḥ, amuṁ varāhavrajam āśrayitum asmān anujānīhi; tataḥ sonujajñau|
33 Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
tataḥ paraṁ bhūtāstaṁ mānuṣaṁ vihāya varāhavrajam āśiśriyuḥ varāhavrajāśca tatkṣaṇāt kaṭakena dhāvanto hrade prāṇān vijṛhuḥ|
34 And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
tad dṛṣṭvā śūkararakṣakāḥ palāyamānā nagaraṁ grāmañca gatvā tatsarvvavṛttāntaṁ kathayāmāsuḥ|
35 Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
tataḥ kiṁ vṛttam etaddarśanārthaṁ lokā nirgatya yīśoḥ samīpaṁ yayuḥ, taṁ mānuṣaṁ tyaktabhūtaṁ parihitavastraṁ svasthamānuṣavad yīśoścaraṇasannidhau sūpaviśantaṁ vilokya bibhyuḥ|
36 Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
ye lokāstasya bhūtagrastasya svāsthyakaraṇaṁ dadṛśuste tebhyaḥ sarvvavṛttāntaṁ kathayāmāsuḥ|
37 And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
tadanantaraṁ tasya giderīyapradeśasya caturdiksthā bahavo janā atitrastā vinayena taṁ jagaduḥ, bhavān asmākaṁ nikaṭād vrajatu tasmāt sa nāvamāruhya tato vyāghuṭya jagāma|
38 And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
tadānīṁ tyaktabhūtamanujastena saha sthātuṁ prārthayāñcakre
39 “Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
kintu tadartham īśvaraḥ kīdṛṅmahākarmma kṛtavān iti niveśanaṁ gatvā vijñāpaya, yīśuḥ kathāmetāṁ kathayitvā taṁ visasarja| tataḥ sa vrajitvā yīśustadarthaṁ yanmahākarmma cakāra tat purasya sarvvatra prakāśayituṁ prārebhe|
40 Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
atha yīśau parāvṛtyāgate lokāstaṁ ādareṇa jagṛhu ryasmātte sarvve tamapekṣāñcakrire|
41 And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
tadanantaraṁ yāyīrnāmno bhajanagehasyaikodhipa āgatya yīśoścaraṇayoḥ patitvā svaniveśanāgamanārthaṁ tasmin vinayaṁ cakāra,
42 For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
yatastasya dvādaśavarṣavayaskā kanyaikāsīt sā mṛtakalpābhavat| tatastasya gamanakāle mārge lokānāṁ mahān samāgamo babhūva|
43 And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
dvādaśavarṣāṇi pradararogagrastā nānā vaidyaiścikitsitā sarvvasvaṁ vyayitvāpi svāsthyaṁ na prāptā yā yoṣit sā yīśoḥ paścādāgatya tasya vastragranthiṁ pasparśa|
44 She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
tasmāt tatkṣaṇāt tasyā raktasrāvo ruddhaḥ|
45 And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
tadānīṁ yīśuravadat kenāhaṁ spṛṣṭaḥ? tato'nekairanaṅgīkṛte pitarastasya saṅginaścāvadan, he guro lokā nikaṭasthāḥ santastava dehe gharṣayanti, tathāpi kenāhaṁ spṛṣṭa̮iti bhavān kutaḥ pṛcchati?
46 And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
yīśuḥ kathayāmāsa, kenāpyahaṁ spṛṣṭo, yato mattaḥ śakti rnirgateti mayā niścitamajñāyi|
47 Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
tadā sā nārī svayaṁ na gupteti viditvā kampamānā satī tasya sammukhe papāta; yena nimittena taṁ pasparśa sparśamātrācca yena prakāreṇa svasthābhavat tat sarvvaṁ tasya sākṣādācakhyau|
48 But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
tataḥ sa tāṁ jagāda he kanye susthirā bhava, tava viśvāsastvāṁ svasthām akārṣīt tvaṁ kṣemeṇa yāhi|
49 While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
yīśoretadvākyavadanakāle tasyādhipate rniveśanāt kaścilloka āgatya taṁ babhāṣe, tava kanyā mṛtā guruṁ mā kliśāna|
50 Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
kintu yīśustadākarṇyādhipatiṁ vyājahāra, mā bhaiṣīḥ kevalaṁ viśvasihi tasmāt sā jīviṣyati|
51 And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
atha tasya niveśane prāpte sa pitaraṁ yohanaṁ yākūbañca kanyāyā mātaraṁ pitarañca vinā, anyaṁ kañcana praveṣṭuṁ vārayāmāsa|
52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
aparañca ye rudanti vilapanti ca tān sarvvān janān uvāca, yūyaṁ mā rodiṣṭa kanyā na mṛtā nidrāti|
53 And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
kintu sā niścitaṁ mṛteti jñātvā te tamupajahasuḥ|
54 But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
paścāt sa sarvvān bahiḥ kṛtvā kanyāyāḥ karau dhṛtvājuhuve, he kanye tvamuttiṣṭha,
55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
tasmāt tasyāḥ prāṇeṣu punarāgateṣu sā tatkṣaṇād uttasyau| tadānīṁ tasyai kiñcid bhakṣyaṁ dātum ādideśa|
56 And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
tatastasyāḥ pitarau vismayaṁ gatau kintu sa tāvādideśa ghaṭanāyā etasyāḥ kathāṁ kasmaicidapi mā kathayataṁ|
