Luke 18
1 And he spoke a parable to them to show that they ought to pray always, and not be faint-hearted:
aparanjca lOkairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAzayEna yIzunA dRSTAnta EkaH kathitaH|
2 saying, There was in a certain city a judge, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
kutracinnagarE kazcit prAPvivAka AsIt sa IzvarAnnAbibhEt mAnuSAMzca nAmanyata|
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary!
atha tatpuravAsinI kAcidvidhavA tatsamIpamEtya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariSkurvviti nivEdayAmAsa|
4 And he would not for some time. But afterward he said within himself, Though I neither fear God, nor regard man,
tataH sa prAPvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tadaggIkRtavAn pazcAccittE cintayAmAsa, yadyapIzvarAnna bibhEmi manuSyAnapi na manyE
5 yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her; lest by coming for ever she weary me out.
tathApyESA vidhavA mAM kliznAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariSkariSyAmi nOcEt sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariSyati|
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
pazcAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprAPvivAkO yadAha tatra manO nidhadhvaM|
7 And will not God avenge his chosen, who cry to him day and night, though he be slow to punish in their behalf?
Izvarasya yE 'bhirucitalOkA divAnizaM prArthayantE sa bahudinAni vilambyApi tESAM vivAdAn kiM na pariSkariSyati?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. But yet, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?
yuSmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariSkariSyati, kintu yadA manuSyaputra AgamiSyati tadA pRthivyAM kimIdRzaM vizvAsaM prApsyati?
9 And to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:
yE svAn dhArmmikAn jnjAtvA parAn tucchIkurvvanti EtAdRgbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dRSTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
EkaH phirUzyaparaH karasanjcAyI dvAvimau prArthayituM mandiraM gatau|
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself thus: O God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
tatO'sau phirUzyEkapArzvE tiSThan hE Izvara ahamanyalOkavat lOThayitAnyAyI pAradArikazca na bhavAmi asya karasanjcAyinastulyazca na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I gain.
saptasu dinESu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampattE rdazamAMzaM dadAmi ca, EtatkathAM kathayan prArthayAmAsa|
13 But the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven; but smote his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner!
kintu sa karasanjcAyi dUrE tiSThan svargaM draSTuM nEcchan vakSasi karAghAtaM kurvvan hE Izvara pApiSThaM mAM dayasva, itthaM prArthayAmAsa|
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; but he that humbleth himself will be exalted.
yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, tayOrdvayO rmadhyE kEvalaH karasanjcAyI puNyavattvEna gaNitO nijagRhaM jagAma, yatO yaH kazcit svamunnamayati sa nAmayiSyatE kintu yaH kazcit svaM namayati sa unnamayiSyatE|
15 And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; and the disciples, on seeing it, rebuked them.
atha zizUnAM gAtrasparzArthaM lOkAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH ziSyAstad dRSTvAnEtRn tarjayAmAsuH,
16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not; for to such belongeth the kingdom of God.
kintu yIzustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM zizUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMzca mA vArayata; yata IzvararAjyAdhikAriNa ESAM sadRzAH|
17 Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will not enter therein.
ahaM yuSmAn yathArthaM vadAmi, yO janaH zizOH sadRzO bhUtvA IzvararAjyaM na gRhlAti sa kEnApi prakArENa tat pravESTuM na zaknOti|
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
aparam EkOdhipatistaM papraccha, hE paramagurO, anantAyuSaH prAptayE mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
19 And Jesus said to him, Why dost thou call me good? None is good but one, that is, God.
yIzuruvAca, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IzvaraM vinA kOpi paramO na bhavati|
20 Thou knowest the commandments: “Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false witness; Honor thy father and thy mother.”
paradArAn mA gaccha, naraM mA jahi, mA cOraya, mithyAsAkSyaM mA dEhi, mAtaraM pitaranjca saMmanyasva, EtA yA AjnjAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth.
tadA sa uvAca, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA EtA AcarAmi|
22 And Jesus hearing this said to him, One thing thou still lackest: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
iti kathAM zrutvA yIzustamavadat, tathApi tavaikaM karmma nyUnamAstE, nijaM sarvvasvaM vikrIya daridrEbhyO vitara, tasmAt svargE dhanaM prApsyasi; tata Agatya mamAnugAmI bhava|
23 But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
kintvEtAM kathAM zrutvA sOdhipatiH zuzOca, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
24 And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly do they that have riches enter the kingdom of God!
tadA yIzustamatizOkAnvitaM dRSTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IzvararAjyapravEzaH kIdRg duSkaraH|
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
IzvararAjyE dhaninaH pravEzAt sUcEzchidrENa mahAggasya gamanAgamanE sukarE|
26 And those who heard this said, Who then can be saved?
zrOtAraH papracchustarhi kEna paritrANaM prApsyatE?
27 But he said, What is impossible with men is possible with God.
sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSENAzakyaM tad IzvarENa zakyaM|
28 Then Peter said, Lo! we left what we had, and followed thee.
tadA pitara uvAca, pazya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pazcAdgAminO'bhavAma|
29 And he said to them, Truly do I say to you, There is no one that hath left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
tataH sa uvAca, yuSmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi, IzvararAjyArthaM gRhaM pitarau bhrAtRgaNaM jAyAM santAnAMzca tyaktavA
31 And taking the twelve aside, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all that hath been written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be accomplished.
anantaraM sa dvAdazaziSyAnAhUya babhASE, pazyata vayaM yirUzAlamnagaraM yAmaH, tasmAt manuSyaputrE bhaviSyadvAdibhiruktaM yadasti tadanurUpaM taM prati ghaTiSyatE;
32 For he will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon;
vastutastu sO'nyadEzIyAnAM hastESu samarpayiSyatE, tE tamupahasiSyanti, anyAyamAcariSyanti tadvapuSi niSThIvaM nikSEpsyanti, kazAbhiH prahRtya taM haniSyanti ca,
33 and they will scourge him, and put him to death; and the third day he will rise again.
kintu tRtIyadinE sa zmazAnAd utthAsyati|
34 And they understood none of these things; and the meaning of these words was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was said.
EtasyAH kathAyA abhiprAyaM kinjcidapi tE bOddhuM na zEkuH tESAM nikaTE'spaSTatavAt tasyaitAsAM kathAnAm AzayaM tE jnjAtuM na zEkuzca|
35 And it came to pass, as he drew near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging.
atha tasmin yirIhOH purasyAntikaM prAptE kazcidandhaH pathaH pArzva upavizya bhikSAm akarOt
36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
sa lOkasamUhasya gamanazabdaM zrutvA tatkAraNaM pRSTavAn|
37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
nAsaratIyayIzuryAtIti lOkairuktE sa uccairvaktumArEbhE,
38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!
hE dAyUdaH santAna yIzO mAM dayasva|
39 And they who went before sharply bade him hold his peace. But he cried out the more, Son of David, have pity on me!
tatOgragAminastaM maunI tiSThEti tarjayAmAsuH kintu sa punAruvan uvAca, hE dAyUdaH santAna mAM dayasva|
40 And Jesus stopped, and ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had come near, he asked him,
tadA yIzuH sthagitO bhUtvA svAntikE tamAnEtum AdidEza|
41 What dost thou wish me to do for thee? And he said, Lord, to restore my sight.
tataH sa tasyAntikam Agamat, tadA sa taM papraccha, tvaM kimicchasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariSyAmi? sa uktavAn, hE prabhO'haM draSTuM labhai|
42 And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee.
tadA yIzuruvAca, dRSTizaktiM gRhANa tava pratyayastvAM svasthaM kRtavAn|
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, giving glory to God; and all the people on seeing it gave praise to God.
tatastatkSaNAt tasya cakSuSI prasannE; tasmAt sa IzvaraM dhanyaM vadan tatpazcAd yayau, tadAlOkya sarvvE lOkA IzvaraM prazaMsitum ArEbhirE|
