Luke 14
1 And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.
anantaraṁ viśrāmavārē yīśau pradhānasya phirūśinō gr̥hē bhōktuṁ gatavati tē taṁ vīkṣitum ārēbhirē|
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
tadā jalōdarī tasya sammukhē sthitaḥ|
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
tataḥ sa vyavasthāpakān phirūśinaśca papraccha, viśrāmavārē svāsthyaṁ karttavyaṁ na vā? tatastē kimapi na pratyūcuḥ|
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
tadā sa taṁ rōgiṇaṁ svasthaṁ kr̥tvā visasarja;
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
tānuvāca ca yuṣmākaṁ kasyacid garddabhō vr̥ṣabhō vā cēd garttē patati tarhi viśrāmavārē tatkṣaṇaṁ sa kiṁ taṁ nōtthāpayiṣyati?
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
tatastē kathāyā ētasyāḥ kimapi prativaktuṁ na śēkuḥ|
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
aparañca pradhānasthānamanōnītatvakaraṇaṁ vilōkya sa nimantritān ētadupadēśakathāṁ jagāda,
8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,
tvaṁ vivāhādibhōjyēṣu nimantritaḥ san pradhānasthānē mōpāvēkṣīḥ| tvattō gauravānvitanimantritajana āyātē
9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.
nimantrayitāgatya manuṣyāyaitasmai sthānaṁ dēhīti vākyaṁ cēd vakṣyati tarhi tvaṁ saṅkucitō bhūtvā sthāna itarasmin upavēṣṭum udyaṁsyasi|
10 But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
asmāt kāraṇādēva tvaṁ nimantritō gatvā'pradhānasthāna upaviśa, tatō nimantrayitāgatya vadiṣyati, hē bandhō prōccasthānaṁ gatvōpaviśa, tathā sati bhōjanōpaviṣṭānāṁ sakalānāṁ sākṣāt tvaṁ mānyō bhaviṣyasi|
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
yaḥ kaścit svamunnamayati sa namayiṣyatē, kintu yaḥ kaścit svaṁ namayati sa unnamayiṣyatē|
12 Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
tadā sa nimantrayitāraṁ janamapi jagāda, madhyāhnē rātrau vā bhōjyē kr̥tē nijabandhugaṇō vā bhrātr̥gaṇō vā jñātigaṇō vā dhanigaṇō vā samīpavāsigaṇō vā ētān na nimantraya, tathā kr̥tē cēt tē tvāṁ nimantrayiṣyanti, tarhi pariśōdhō bhaviṣyati|
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
kintu yadā bhējyaṁ karōṣi tadā daridraśuṣkakarakhañjāndhān nimantraya,
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
tata āśiṣaṁ lapsyasē, tēṣu pariśōdhaṁ karttumaśaknuvatsu śmaśānāddhārmmikānāmutthānakālē tvaṁ phalāṁ lapsyasē|
15 Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.
anantaraṁ tāṁ kathāṁ niśamya bhōjanōpaviṣṭaḥ kaścit kathayāmāsa, yō jana īśvarasya rājyē bhōktuṁ lapsyatē saēva dhanyaḥ|
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
tataḥ sa uvāca, kaścit janō rātrau bhējyaṁ kr̥tvā bahūn nimantrayāmāsa|
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
tatō bhōjanasamayē nimantritalōkān āhvātuṁ dāsadvārā kathayāmāsa, khadyadravyāṇi sarvvāṇi samāsāditāni santi, yūyamāgacchata|
18 But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.
kintu tē sarvva ēkaikaṁ chalaṁ kr̥tvā kṣamāṁ prārthayāñcakrirē| prathamō janaḥ kathayāmāsa, kṣētramēkaṁ krītavānahaṁ tadēva draṣṭuṁ mayā gantavyam, ataēva māṁ kṣantuṁ taṁ nivēdaya|
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
anyō janaḥ kathayāmāsa, daśavr̥ṣānahaṁ krītavān tān parīkṣituṁ yāmi tasmādēva māṁ kṣantuṁ taṁ nivēdaya|
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
aparaḥ kathayāmāsa, vyūḍhavānahaṁ tasmāt kāraṇād yātuṁ na śaknōmi|
21 So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
paścāt sa dāsō gatvā nijaprabhōḥ sākṣāt sarvvavr̥ttāntaṁ nivēdayāmāsa, tatōsau gr̥hapatiḥ kupitvā svadāsaṁ vyājahāra, tvaṁ satvaraṁ nagarasya sannivēśān mārgāṁśca gatvā daridraśuṣkakarakhañjāndhān atrānaya|
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
tatō dāsō'vadat, hē prabhō bhavata ājñānusārēṇākriyata tathāpi sthānamasti|
23 Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.
tadā prabhuḥ puna rdāsāyākathayat, rājapathān vr̥kṣamūlāni ca yātvā madīyagr̥hapūraṇārthaṁ lōkānāgantuṁ pravarttaya|
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
ahaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathayāmi, pūrvvanimantritānamēkōpi mamāsya rātribhōjyasyāsvādaṁ na prāpsyati|
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
anantaraṁ bahuṣu lōkēṣu yīśōḥ paścād vrajitēṣu satsu sa vyāghuṭya tēbhyaḥ kathayāmāsa,
26 If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.
yaḥ kaścin mama samīpam āgatya svasya mātā pitā patnī santānā bhrātarō bhagimyō nijaprāṇāśca, ētēbhyaḥ sarvvēbhyō mayyadhikaṁ prēma na karōti, sa mama śiṣyō bhavituṁ na śakṣyati|
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
yaḥ kaścit svīyaṁ kruśaṁ vahan mama paścānna gacchati, sōpi mama śiṣyō bhavituṁ na śakṣyati|
28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
durganirmmāṇē kativyayō bhaviṣyati, tathā tasya samāptikaraṇārthaṁ sampattirasti na vā, prathamamupaviśya ētanna gaṇayati, yuṣmākaṁ madhya ētādr̥śaḥ kōsti?
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
nōcēd bhittiṁ kr̥tvā śēṣē yadi samāpayituṁ na śakṣyati,
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
tarhi mānuṣōyaṁ nicētum ārabhata samāpayituṁ nāśaknōt, iti vyāhr̥tya sarvvē tamupahasiṣyanti|
31 Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
aparañca bhinnabhūpatinā saha yuddhaṁ karttum udyamya daśasahasrāṇi sainyāni gr̥hītvā viṁśatisahasrēḥ sainyaiḥ sahitasya samīpavāsinaḥ sammukhaṁ yātuṁ śakṣyāmi na vēti prathamaṁ upaviśya na vicārayati ētādr̥śō bhūmipatiḥ kaḥ?
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
yadi na śaknōti tarhi ripāvatidūrē tiṣṭhati sati nijadūtaṁ prēṣya sandhiṁ karttuṁ prārthayēta|
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
tadvad yuṣmākaṁ madhyē yaḥ kaścin madarthaṁ sarvvasvaṁ hātuṁ na śaknōti sa mama śiṣyō bhavituṁ na śakṣyati|
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
lavaṇam uttamam iti satyaṁ, kintu yadi lavaṇasya lavaṇatvam apagacchati tarhi tat kathaṁ svāduyuktaṁ bhaviṣyati?
35 It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
tada bhūmyartham ālavālarāśyarthamapi bhadraṁ na bhavati; lōkāstad bahiḥ kṣipanti|yasya śrōtuṁ śrōtrē staḥ sa śr̥ṇōtu|
