Luke 18
1 And he spoke a parable to them to show that they ought to pray always, and not be faint-hearted:
apara ncha lokairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAshayena yIshunA dR^iShTAnta ekaH kathitaH|
2 saying, There was in a certain city a judge, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
kutrachinnagare kashchit prADvivAka AsIt sa IshvarAnnAbibhet mAnuShAMshcha nAmanyata|
3 And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary!
atha tatpuravAsinI kAchidvidhavA tatsamIpametya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariShkurvviti 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 prADvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tada NgIkR^itavAn pashchAchchitte chintayAmAsa, yadyapIshvarAnna bibhemi manuShyAnapi na manye
5 yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her; lest by coming for ever she weary me out.
tathApyeShA vidhavA mAM klishnAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariShkariShyAmi nochet sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariShyati|
6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
pashchAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprADvivAko 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?
Ishvarasya ye. abhiruchitalokA divAnishaM prArthayante sa bahudinAni vilambyApi teShAM vivAdAn kiM na pariShkariShyati?
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?
yuShmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariShkariShyati, kintu yadA manuShyaputra AgamiShyati tadA pR^ithivyAM kimIdR^ishaM vishvAsaM prApsyati?
9 And to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised all others, he spoke this parable:
ye svAn dhArmmikAn j nAtvA parAn tuchChIkurvvanti etAdR^igbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dR^iShTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
ekaH phirUshyaparaH karasa nchAyI 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. asau phirUshyekapArshve tiShThan he Ishvara ahamanyalokavat loThayitAnyAyI pAradArikashcha na bhavAmi asya karasa nchAyinastulyashcha na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
12 I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I gain.
saptasu dineShu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampatte rdashamAMshaM dadAmi cha, 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 karasa nchAyi dUre tiShThan svargaM draShTuM nechChan vakShasi karAghAtaM kurvvan he Ishvara pApiShThaM 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.
yuShmAnahaM vadAmi, tayordvayo rmadhye kevalaH karasa nchAyI puNyavattvena gaNito nijagR^ihaM jagAma, yato yaH kashchit svamunnamayati sa nAmayiShyate kintu yaH kashchit svaM namayati sa unnamayiShyate|
15 And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them; and the disciples, on seeing it, rebuked them.
atha shishUnAM gAtrasparshArthaM lokAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH shiShyAstad dR^iShTvAnetR^in 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 yIshustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM shishUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMshcha mA vArayata; yata IshvararAjyAdhikAriNa eShAM sadR^ishAH|
17 Truly do I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will not enter therein.
ahaM yuShmAn yathArthaM vadAmi, yo janaH shishoH sadR^isho bhUtvA IshvararAjyaM na gR^ihlAti sa kenApi prakAreNa tat praveShTuM na shaknoti|
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
aparam ekodhipatistaM paprachCha, he paramaguro, anantAyuShaH 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.
yIshuruvAcha, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IshvaraM 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 gachCha, naraM mA jahi, mA choraya, mithyAsAkShyaM mA dehi, mAtaraM pitara ncha saMmanyasva, etA yA Aj nAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth.
tadA sa uvAcha, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA etA AcharAmi|
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 shrutvA yIshustamavadat, 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 shrutvA sodhipatiH shushocha, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
24 And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly do they that have riches enter the kingdom of God!
tadA yIshustamatishokAnvitaM dR^iShTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IshvararAjyapraveshaH kIdR^ig duShkaraH|
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.
IshvararAjye dhaninaH praveshAt sUcheshChidreNa mahA Ngasya gamanAgamane sukare|
26 And those who heard this said, Who then can be saved?
shrotAraH paprachChustarhi kena paritrANaM prApsyate?
27 But he said, What is impossible with men is possible with God.
sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSheNAshakyaM tad IshvareNa shakyaM|
28 Then Peter said, Lo! we left what we had, and followed thee.
tadA pitara uvAcha, pashya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pashchAdgAmino. abhavAma|
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 uvAcha, yuShmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi, IshvararAjyArthaM gR^ihaM pitarau bhrAtR^igaNaM jAyAM santAnAMshcha 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 dvAdashashiShyAnAhUya babhAShe, pashyata vayaM yirUshAlamnagaraM yAmaH, tasmAt manuShyaputre bhaviShyadvAdibhiruktaM yadasti tadanurUpaM taM prati ghaTiShyate;
32 For he will be delivered up to the gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon;
vastutastu so. anyadeshIyAnAM hasteShu samarpayiShyate, te tamupahasiShyanti, anyAyamAchariShyanti tadvapuShi niShThIvaM nikShepsyanti, kashAbhiH prahR^itya taM haniShyanti cha,
33 and they will scourge him, and put him to death; and the third day he will rise again.
kintu tR^itIyadine sa shmashAnAd 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 ki nchidapi te boddhuM na shekuH teShAM nikaTe. aspaShTatavAt tasyaitAsAM kathAnAm AshayaM te j nAtuM na shekushcha|
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 kashchidandhaH pathaH pArshva upavishya bhikShAm akarot
36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
sa lokasamUhasya gamanashabdaM shrutvA tatkAraNaM pR^iShTavAn|
37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
nAsaratIyayIshuryAtIti lokairukte sa uchchairvaktumArebhe,
38 And he cried out, saying, Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!
he dAyUdaH santAna yIsho 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 tiShTheti tarjayAmAsuH kintu sa punAruvan uvAcha, 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 yIshuH sthagito bhUtvA svAntike tamAnetum Adidesha|
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 paprachCha, tvaM kimichChasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariShyAmi? sa uktavAn, he prabho. ahaM draShTuM labhai|
42 And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee.
tadA yIshuruvAcha, dR^iShTishaktiM gR^ihANa tava pratyayastvAM svasthaM kR^itavAn|
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.
