Luke 12
1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
tadānīṁ lōkāḥ sahasraṁ sahasram āgatya samupasthitāstata ēkaikō 'nyēṣāmupari patitum upacakramē; tadā yīśuḥ śiṣyān babhāṣē, yūyaṁ phirūśināṁ kiṇvarūpakāpaṭyē viśēṣēṇa sāvadhānāstiṣṭhata|
2 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
yatō yanna prakāśayiṣyatē tadācchannaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti; tathā yanna jñāsyatē tad guptaṁ vastu kimapi nāsti|
3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
andhakārē tiṣṭhanatō yāḥ kathā akathayata tāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā dīptau śrōṣyantē nirjanē karṇē ca yadakathayata gr̥hapr̥ṣṭhāt tat pracārayiṣyatē|
4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
hē bandhavō yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, yē śarīrasya nāśaṁ vinā kimapyaparaṁ karttuṁ na śakruvanti tēbhyō mā bhaiṣṭa|
5 but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
tarhi kasmād bhētavyam ityahaṁ vadāmi, yaḥ śarīraṁ nāśayitvā narakaṁ nikṣēptuṁ śaknōti tasmādēva bhayaṁ kuruta, punarapi vadāmi tasmādēva bhayaṁ kuruta| (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
pañca caṭakapakṣiṇaḥ kiṁ dvābhyāṁ tāmrakhaṇḍābhyāṁ na vikrīyantē? tathāpīśvarastēṣām ēkamapi na vismarati|
7 but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
yuṣmākaṁ śiraḥkēśā api gaṇitāḥ santi tasmāt mā vibhīta bahucaṭakapakṣibhyōpi yūyaṁ bahumūlyāḥ|
8 And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
aparaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kathayāmi yaḥ kaścin mānuṣāṇāṁ sākṣān māṁ svīkarōti manuṣyaputra īśvaradūtānāṁ sākṣāt taṁ svīkariṣyati|
9 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
kintu yaḥ kaścinmānuṣāṇāṁ sākṣānmām asvīkarōti tam īśvarasya dūtānāṁ sākṣād aham asvīkariṣyāmi|
10 and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
anyacca yaḥ kaścin manujasutasya nindābhāvēna kāñcit kathāṁ kathayati tasya tatpāpasya mōcanaṁ bhaviṣyati kintu yadi kaścit pavitram ātmānaṁ nindati tarhi tasya tatpāpasya mōcanaṁ na bhaviṣyati|
11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
yadā lōkā yuṣmān bhajanagēhaṁ vicārakartr̥rājyakartr̥ṇāṁ sammukhañca nēṣyanti tadā kēna prakārēṇa kimuttaraṁ vadiṣyatha kiṁ kathayiṣyatha cētyatra mā cintayata;
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
yatō yuṣmābhiryad yad vaktavyaṁ tat tasmin samayaēva pavitra ātmā yuṣmān śikṣayiṣyati|
13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
tataḥ paraṁ janatāmadhyasthaḥ kaścijjanastaṁ jagāda hē gurō mayā saha paitr̥kaṁ dhanaṁ vibhaktuṁ mama bhrātaramājñāpayatu bhavān|
14 And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
kintu sa tamavadat hē manuṣya yuvayō rvicāraṁ vibhāgañca karttuṁ māṁ kō niyuktavān?
15 And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
anantaraṁ sa lōkānavadat lōbhē sāvadhānāḥ satarkāśca tiṣṭhata, yatō bahusampattiprāptyā manuṣyasyāyu rna bhavati|
16 And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
paścād dr̥ṣṭāntakathāmutthāpya kathayāmāsa, ēkasya dhaninō bhūmau bahūni śasyāni jātāni|
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
tataḥ sa manasā cintayitvā kathayāmbabhūva mamaitāni samutpannāni dravyāṇi sthāpayituṁ sthānaṁ nāsti kiṁ kariṣyāmi?
18 And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
tatōvadad itthaṁ kariṣyāmi, mama sarvvabhāṇḍāgārāṇi bhaṅktvā br̥hadbhāṇḍāgārāṇi nirmmāya tanmadhyē sarvvaphalāni dravyāṇi ca sthāpayiṣyāmi|
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
aparaṁ nijamanō vadiṣyāmi, hē manō bahuvatsarārthaṁ nānādravyāṇi sañcitāni santi viśrāmaṁ kuru bhuktvā pītvā kautukañca kuru| kintvīśvarastam avadat,
20 And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
rē nirbōdha adya rātrau tava prāṇāstvattō nēṣyantē tata ētāni yāni dravyāṇi tvayāsāditāni tāni kasya bhaviṣyanti?
21 So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
ataēva yaḥ kaścid īśvarasya samīpē dhanasañcayamakr̥tvā kēvalaṁ svanikaṭē sañcayaṁ karōti sōpi tādr̥śaḥ|
22 And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on;
atha sa śiṣyēbhyaḥ kathayāmāsa, yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, kiṁ khādiṣyāmaḥ? kiṁ paridhāsyāmaḥ? ityuktvā jīvanasya śarīrasya cārthaṁ cintāṁ mā kārṣṭa|
23 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
bhakṣyājjīvanaṁ bhūṣaṇāccharīrañca śrēṣṭhaṁ bhavati|
24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
kākapakṣiṇāṁ kāryyaṁ vicārayata, tē na vapanti śasyāni ca na chindanti, tēṣāṁ bhāṇḍāgārāṇi na santi kōṣāśca na santi, tathāpīśvarastēbhyō bhakṣyāṇi dadāti, yūyaṁ pakṣibhyaḥ śrēṣṭhatarā na kiṁ?
25 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
aparañca bhāvayitvā nijāyuṣaḥ kṣaṇamātraṁ varddhayituṁ śaknōti, ētādr̥śō lākō yuṣmākaṁ madhyē kōsti?
26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
ataēva kṣudraṁ kāryyaṁ sādhayitum asamarthā yūyam anyasmin kāryyē kutō bhāvayatha?
27 Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these;
anyacca kāmpilapuṣpaṁ kathaṁ varddhatē tadāpi vicārayata, tat kañcana śramaṁ na karōti tantūṁśca na janayati kintu yuṣmabhyaṁ yathārthaṁ kathayāmi sulēmān bahvaiśvaryyānvitōpi puṣpasyāsya sadr̥śō vibhūṣitō nāsīt|
28 and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith?
adya kṣētrē varttamānaṁ śvaścūllyāṁ kṣēpsyamānaṁ yat tr̥ṇaṁ, tasmai yadīśvara itthaṁ bhūṣayati tarhi hē alpapratyayinō yuṣmāna kiṁ na paridhāpayiṣyati?
29 And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
ataēva kiṁ khādiṣyāmaḥ? kiṁ paridhāsyāmaḥ? ētadarthaṁ mā cēṣṭadhvaṁ mā saṁdigdhvañca|
30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
jagatō dēvārccakā ētāni sarvvāṇi cēṣṭanatē; ēṣu vastuṣu yuṣmākaṁ prayōjanamāstē iti yuṣmākaṁ pitā jānāti|
31 but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
ataēvēśvarasya rājyārthaṁ sacēṣṭā bhavata tathā kr̥tē sarvvāṇyētāni dravyāṇi yuṣmabhyaṁ pradāyiṣyantē|
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
hē kṣudramēṣavraja yūyaṁ mā bhaiṣṭa yuṣmabhyaṁ rājyaṁ dātuṁ yuṣmākaṁ pituḥ sammatirasti|
33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
ataēva yuṣmākaṁ yā yā sampattirasti tāṁ tāṁ vikrīya vitarata, yat sthānaṁ caurā nāgacchanti, kīṭāśca na kṣāyayanti tādr̥śē svargē nijārtham ajarē sampuṭakē 'kṣayaṁ dhanaṁ sañcinuta ca;
34 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
yatō yatra yuṣmākaṁ dhanaṁ varttatē tatrēva yuṣmākaṁ manaḥ|
35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
aparañca yūyaṁ pradīpaṁ jvālayitvā baddhakaṭayastiṣṭhata;
36 and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
prabhu rvivāhādāgatya yadaiva dvāramāhanti tadaiva dvāraṁ mōcayituṁ yathā bhr̥tyā apēkṣya tiṣṭhanti tathā yūyamapi tiṣṭhata|
37 Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them;
yataḥ prabhurāgatya yān dāsān sacētanān tiṣṭhatō drakṣyati taēva dhanyāḥ; ahaṁ yuṣmān yathārthaṁ vadāmi prabhustān bhōjanārtham upavēśya svayaṁ baddhakaṭiḥ samīpamētya parivēṣayiṣyati|
38 and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
yadi dvitīyē tr̥tīyē vā praharē samāgatya tathaiva paśyati, tarhi taēva dāsā dhanyāḥ|
39 And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through;
aparañca kasmin kṣaṇē caurā āgamiṣyanti iti yadi gr̥hapati rjñātuṁ śaknōti tadāvaśyaṁ jāgran nijagr̥hē sandhiṁ karttayituṁ vārayati yūyamētad vitta|
40 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
ataēva yūyamapi sajjamānāstiṣṭhata yatō yasmin kṣaṇē taṁ nāprēkṣadhvē tasminnēva kṣaṇē manuṣyaputra āgamiṣyati|
41 And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
tadā pitaraḥ papraccha, hē prabhō bhavān kimasmān uddiśya kiṁ sarvvān uddiśya dr̥ṣṭāntakathāmimāṁ vadati?
42 And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
tataḥ prabhuḥ prōvāca, prabhuḥ samucitakālē nijaparivārārthaṁ bhōjyaparivēṣaṇāya yaṁ tatpadē niyōkṣyati tādr̥śō viśvāsyō bōddhā karmmādhīśaḥ kōsti?
43 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
prabhurāgatya yam ētādr̥śē karmmaṇi pravr̥ttaṁ drakṣyati saēva dāsō dhanyaḥ|
44 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
ahaṁ yuṣmān yathārthaṁ vadāmi sa taṁ nijasarvvasvasyādhipatiṁ kariṣyati|
45 And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken,
kintu prabhurvilambēnāgamiṣyati, iti vicintya sa dāsō yadi tadanyadāsīdāsān praharttum bhōktuṁ pātuṁ madituñca prārabhatē,
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
tarhi yadā prabhuṁ nāpēkṣiṣyatē yasmin kṣaṇē sō'cētanaśca sthāsyati tasminnēva kṣaṇē tasya prabhurāgatya taṁ padabhraṣṭaṁ kr̥tvā viśvāsahīnaiḥ saha tasya aṁśaṁ nirūpayiṣyati|
47 And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes,
yō dāsaḥ prabhērājñāṁ jñātvāpi sajjitō na tiṣṭhati tadājñānusārēṇa ca kāryyaṁ na karōti sōnēkān prahārān prāpsyati;
48 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
kintu yō janō'jñātvā prahārārhaṁ karmma karōti sōlpaprahārān prāpsyati| yatō yasmai bāhulyēna dattaṁ tasmādēva bāhulyēna grahīṣyatē, mānuṣā yasya nikaṭē bahu samarpayanti tasmād bahu yācantē|
49 I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
ahaṁ pr̥thivyām anaikyarūpaṁ vahni nikṣēptum āgatōsmi, sa cēd idānīmēva prajvalati tatra mama kā cintā?
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
kintu yēna majjanēnāhaṁ magnō bhaviṣyāmi yāvatkālaṁ tasya siddhi rna bhaviṣyati tāvadahaṁ katikaṣṭaṁ prāpsyāmi|
51 Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
mēlanaṁ karttuṁ jagad āgatōsmi yūyaṁ kimitthaṁ bōdhadhvē? yuṣmān vadāmi na tathā, kintvahaṁ mēlanābhāvaṁ karttuṁm āgatōsmi|
52 for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
yasmādētatkālamārabhya ēkatrasthaparijanānāṁ madhyē pañcajanāḥ pr̥thag bhūtvā trayō janā dvayōrjanayōḥ pratikūlā dvau janau ca trayāṇāṁ janānāṁ pratikūlau bhaviṣyanti|
53 a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
pitā putrasya vipakṣaḥ putraśca pitu rvipakṣō bhaviṣyati mātā kanyāyā vipakṣā kanyā ca mātu rvipakṣā bhaviṣyati, tathā śvaśrūrbadhvā vipakṣā badhūśca śvaśrvā vipakṣā bhaviṣyati|
54 And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
sa lōkēbhyōparamapi kathayāmāsa, paścimadiśi mēghōdgamaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā yūyaṁ haṭhād vadatha vr̥ṣṭi rbhaviṣyati tatastathaiva jāyatē|
55 and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
aparaṁ dakṣiṇatō vāyau vāti sati vadatha nidāghō bhaviṣyati tataḥ sōpi jāyatē|
56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
rē rē kapaṭina ākāśasya bhūmyāśca lakṣaṇaṁ bōddhuṁ śaknutha,
57 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
kintu kālasyāsya lakṣaṇaṁ kutō bōddhuṁ na śaknutha? yūyañca svayaṁ kutō na nyāṣyaṁ vicārayatha?
58 For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison;
aparañca vivādinā sārddhaṁ vicārayituḥ samīpaṁ gacchan pathi tasmāduddhāraṁ prāptuṁ yatasva nōcēt sa tvāṁ dhr̥tvā vicārayituḥ samīpaṁ nayati| vicārayitā yadi tvāṁ praharttuḥ samīpaṁ samarpayati praharttā tvāṁ kārāyāṁ badhnāti
59 I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
tarhi tvāmahaṁ vadāmi tvayā niḥśēṣaṁ kapardakēṣu na pariśōdhitēṣu tvaṁ tatō muktiṁ prāptuṁ na śakṣyasi|
