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;
tadAnIM lokAH sahasraM sahasram Agatya samupasthitAstata ekaiko. anyeShAmupari patitum upachakrame; tadA yIshuH shiShyAn babhAShe, yUyaM phirUshinAM kiNvarUpakApaTye visheSheNa sAvadhAnAstiShThata|
2 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
yato yanna prakAshayiShyate tadAchChannaM vastu kimapi nAsti; tathA yanna j nAsyate tad guptaM vastu kimapi nAsti|
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.
andhakAre tiShThanato yAH kathA akathayata tAH sarvvAH kathA dIptau shroShyante nirjane karNe cha yadakathayata gR^ihapR^iShThAt tat prachArayiShyate|
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;
he bandhavo yuShmAnahaM vadAmi, ye sharIrasya nAshaM vinA kimapyaparaM karttuM na shakruvanti tebhyo mA bhaiShTa|
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 kasmAd bhetavyam ityahaM vadAmi, yaH sharIraM nAshayitvA narakaM nikSheptuM shaknoti tasmAdeva bhayaM kuruta, punarapi vadAmi tasmAdeva bhayaM kuruta| (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
pa ncha chaTakapakShiNaH kiM dvAbhyAM tAmrakhaNDAbhyAM na vikrIyante? tathApIshvarasteShAm ekamapi 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.
yuShmAkaM shiraHkeshA api gaNitAH santi tasmAt mA vibhIta bahuchaTakapakShibhyopi yUyaM bahumUlyAH|
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,
aparaM yuShmabhyaM kathayAmi yaH kashchin mAnuShANAM sAkShAn mAM svIkaroti manuShyaputra IshvaradUtAnAM sAkShAt taM svIkariShyati|
9 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
kintu yaH kashchinmAnuShANAM sAkShAnmAm asvIkaroti tam Ishvarasya dUtAnAM sAkShAd aham asvIkariShyAmi|
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.
anyachcha yaH kashchin manujasutasya nindAbhAvena kA nchit kathAM kathayati tasya tatpApasya mochanaM bhaviShyati kintu yadi kashchit pavitram AtmAnaM nindati tarhi tasya tatpApasya mochanaM na bhaviShyati|
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,
yadA lokA yuShmAn bhajanagehaM vichArakartR^irAjyakartR^iNAM sammukha ncha neShyanti tadA kena prakAreNa kimuttaraM vadiShyatha kiM kathayiShyatha chetyatra mA chintayata;
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
yato yuShmAbhiryad yad vaktavyaM tat tasmin samayaeva pavitra AtmA yuShmAn shikShayiShyati|
13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
tataH paraM janatAmadhyasthaH kashchijjanastaM jagAda he guro mayA saha paitR^ikaM dhanaM vibhaktuM mama bhrAtaramAj nApayatu bhavAn|
14 And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
kintu sa tamavadat he manuShya yuvayo rvichAraM vibhAga ncha karttuM mAM ko niyuktavAn?
15 And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
anantaraM sa lokAnavadat lobhe sAvadhAnAH satarkAshcha tiShThata, yato bahusampattiprAptyA manuShyasyAyu rna bhavati|
16 And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
pashchAd dR^iShTAntakathAmutthApya kathayAmAsa, ekasya dhanino bhUmau bahUni shasyAni jAtAni|
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
tataH sa manasA chintayitvA kathayAmbabhUva mamaitAni samutpannAni dravyANi sthApayituM sthAnaM nAsti kiM kariShyAmi?
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,
tatovadad itthaM kariShyAmi, mama sarvvabhANDAgArANi bha NktvA bR^ihadbhANDAgArANi nirmmAya tanmadhye sarvvaphalAni dravyANi cha sthApayiShyAmi|
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.
aparaM nijamano vadiShyAmi, he mano bahuvatsarArthaM nAnAdravyANi sa nchitAni santi vishrAmaM kuru bhuktvA pItvA kautuka ncha kuru| kintvIshvarastam 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]?
re nirbodha adya rAtrau tava prANAstvatto neShyante tata etAni yAni dravyANi tvayAsAditAni tAni kasya bhaviShyanti?
21 So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
ataeva yaH kashchid Ishvarasya samIpe dhanasa nchayamakR^itvA kevalaM svanikaTe sa nchayaM karoti sopi tAdR^ishaH|
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 shiShyebhyaH kathayAmAsa, yuShmAnahaM vadAmi, kiM khAdiShyAmaH? kiM paridhAsyAmaH? ityuktvA jIvanasya sharIrasya chArthaM chintAM mA kArShTa|
23 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
bhakShyAjjIvanaM bhUShaNAchCharIra ncha shreShThaM 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?
kAkapakShiNAM kAryyaM vichArayata, te na vapanti shasyAni cha na Chindanti, teShAM bhANDAgArANi na santi koShAshcha na santi, tathApIshvarastebhyo bhakShyANi dadAti, yUyaM pakShibhyaH shreShThatarA na kiM?
25 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
apara ncha bhAvayitvA nijAyuShaH kShaNamAtraM varddhayituM shaknoti, etAdR^isho lAko yuShmAkaM madhye kosti?
26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
ataeva kShudraM kAryyaM sAdhayitum asamarthA yUyam anyasmin kAryye kuto bhAvayatha?
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;
anyachcha kAmpilapuShpaM kathaM varddhate tadApi vichArayata, tat ka nchana shramaM na karoti tantUMshcha na janayati kintu yuShmabhyaM yathArthaM kathayAmi sulemAn bahvaishvaryyAnvitopi puShpasyAsya sadR^isho vibhUShito nAsIt|
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 kShetre varttamAnaM shvashchUllyAM kShepsyamAnaM yat tR^iNaM, tasmai yadIshvara itthaM bhUShayati tarhi he alpapratyayino yuShmAna kiM na paridhApayiShyati?
29 And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
ataeva kiM khAdiShyAmaH? kiM paridhAsyAmaH? etadarthaM mA cheShTadhvaM mA saMdigdhva ncha|
30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
jagato devArchchakA etAni sarvvANi cheShTanate; eShu vastuShu yuShmAkaM prayojanamAste iti yuShmAkaM pitA jAnAti|
31 but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.

32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
he kShudrameShavraja yUyaM mA bhaiShTa yuShmabhyaM rAjyaM dAtuM yuShmAkaM pituH 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;

34 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
yato yatra yuShmAkaM dhanaM varttate tatreva yuShmAkaM manaH|
35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
apara ncha yUyaM pradIpaM jvAlayitvA baddhakaTayastiShThata;
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 rvivAhAdAgatya yadaiva dvAramAhanti tadaiva dvAraM mochayituM yathA bhR^ityA apekShya tiShThanti tathA yUyamapi tiShThata|
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;
yataH prabhurAgatya yAn dAsAn sachetanAn tiShThato drakShyati taeva dhanyAH; ahaM yuShmAn yathArthaM vadAmi prabhustAn bhojanArtham upaveshya svayaM baddhakaTiH samIpametya pariveShayiShyati|
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 dvitIye tR^itIye vA prahare samAgatya tathaiva pashyati, tarhi taeva dAsA dhanyAH|
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;
apara ncha kasmin kShaNe chaurA AgamiShyanti iti yadi gR^ihapati rj nAtuM shaknoti tadAvashyaM jAgran nijagR^ihe sandhiM karttayituM vArayati yUyametad vitta|
40 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”

41 And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
tadA pitaraH paprachCha, he prabho bhavAn kimasmAn uddishya kiM sarvvAn uddishya dR^iShTAntakathAmimAM 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?
tataH prabhuH provAcha, prabhuH samuchitakAle nijaparivArArthaM bhojyapariveShaNAya yaM tatpade niyokShyati tAdR^isho vishvAsyo boddhA karmmAdhIshaH kosti?
43 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
prabhurAgatya yam etAdR^ishe karmmaNi pravR^ittaM drakShyati saeva dAso dhanyaH|
44 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
ahaM yuShmAn yathArthaM vadAmi sa taM nijasarvvasvasyAdhipatiM kariShyati|
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 prabhurvilambenAgamiShyati, iti vichintya sa dAso yadi tadanyadAsIdAsAn praharttum bhoktuM pAtuM maditu ncha prArabhate,
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 yadA prabhuM nApekShiShyate yasmin kShaNe so. achetanashcha sthAsyati tasminneva kShaNe tasya prabhurAgatya taM padabhraShTaM kR^itvA vishvAsahInaiH saha tasya aMshaM nirUpayiShyati|
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,
yo dAsaH prabherAj nAM j nAtvApi sajjito na tiShThati tadAj nAnusAreNa cha kAryyaM na karoti sonekAn prahArAn prApsyati;
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 yo jano. aj nAtvA prahArArhaM karmma karoti solpaprahArAn prApsyati| yato yasmai bAhulyena dattaM tasmAdeva bAhulyena grahIShyate, mAnuShA yasya nikaTe bahu samarpayanti tasmAd bahu yAchante|
49 I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!

50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!

51 Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
melanaM karttuM jagad Agatosmi yUyaM kimitthaM bodhadhve? yuShmAn vadAmi na tathA, kintvahaM melanAbhAvaM karttuMm Agatosmi|
52 for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;

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.”

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 lokebhyoparamapi kathayAmAsa, pashchimadishi meghodgamaM dR^iShTvA yUyaM haThAd vadatha vR^iShTi rbhaviShyati tatastathaiva jAyate|
55 and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;

56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
re re kapaTina AkAshasya bhUmyAshcha lakShaNaM boddhuM shaknutha,
57 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
kintu kAlasyAsya lakShaNaM kuto boddhuM na shaknutha? yUya ncha svayaM kuto na nyAShyaM vichArayatha?
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;
apara ncha vivAdinA sArddhaM vichArayituH samIpaM gachChan pathi tasmAduddhAraM prAptuM yatasva nochet sa tvAM dhR^itvA vichArayituH samIpaM nayati| vichArayitA yadi tvAM praharttuH samIpaM samarpayati praharttA tvAM kArAyAM badhnAti
59 I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
