< Luke 7 >

1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
tataḥ paraṁ sa lokānāṁ karṇagocare tān sarvvān upadeśān samāpya yadā kapharnāhūmpuraṁ praviśati
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
tadā śatasenāpateḥ priyadāsa eko mṛtakalpaḥ pīḍita āsīt|
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
ataḥ senāpati ryīśo rvārttāṁ niśamya dāsasyārogyakaraṇāya tasyāgamanārthaṁ vinayakaraṇāya yihūdīyān kiyataḥ prācaḥ preṣayāmāsa|
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
te yīśorantikaṁ gatvā vinayātiśayaṁ vaktumārebhire, sa senāpati rbhavatonugrahaṁ prāptum arhati|
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
yataḥ sosmajjātīyeṣu lokeṣu prīyate tathāsmatkṛte bhajanagehaṁ nirmmitavān|
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
tasmād yīśustaiḥ saha gatvā niveśanasya samīpaṁ prāpa, tadā sa śatasenāpati rvakṣyamāṇavākyaṁ taṁ vaktuṁ bandhūn prāhiṇot| he prabho svayaṁ śramo na karttavyo yad bhavatā madgehamadhye pādārpaṇaṁ kriyeta tadapyahaṁ nārhāmi,
7 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant be healed.
kiñcāhaṁ bhavatsamīpaṁ yātumapi nātmānaṁ yogyaṁ buddhavān, tato bhavān vākyamātraṁ vadatu tenaiva mama dāsaḥ svastho bhaviṣyati|
8 For even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
yasmād ahaṁ parādhīnopi mamādhīnā yāḥ senāḥ santi tāsām ekajanaṁ prati yāhīti mayā prokte sa yāti; tadanyaṁ prati āyāhīti prokte sa āyāti; tathā nijadāsaṁ prati etat kurvviti prokte sa tadeva karoti|
9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
yīśuridaṁ vākyaṁ śrutvā vismayaṁ yayau, mukhaṁ parāvartya paścādvarttino lokān babhāṣe ca, yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi isrāyelo vaṁśamadhyepi viśvāsamīdṛśaṁ na prāpnavaṁ|
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
tataste preṣitā gṛhaṁ gatvā taṁ pīḍitaṁ dāsaṁ svasthaṁ dadṛśuḥ|
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
pare'hani sa nāyīnākhyaṁ nagaraṁ jagāma tasyāneke śiṣyā anye ca lokāstena sārddhaṁ yayuḥ|
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
teṣu tannagarasya dvārasannidhiṁ prāpteṣu kiyanto lokā ekaṁ mṛtamanujaṁ vahanto nagarasya bahiryānti, sa tanmāturekaputrastanmātā ca vidhavā; tayā sārddhaṁ tannagarīyā bahavo lokā āsan|
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
prabhustāṁ vilokya sānukampaḥ kathayāmāsa, mā rodīḥ| sa samīpamitvā khaṭvāṁ pasparśa tasmād vāhakāḥ sthagitāstamyuḥ;
14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
tadā sa uvāca he yuvamanuṣya tvamuttiṣṭha, tvāmaham ājñāpayāmi|
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
tasmāt sa mṛto janastatkṣaṇamutthāya kathāṁ prakathitaḥ; tato yīśustasya mātari taṁ samarpayāmāsa|
16 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
tasmāt sarvve lokāḥ śaśaṅkire; eko mahābhaviṣyadvādī madhye'smākam samudait, īśvaraśca svalokānanvagṛhlāt kathāmimāṁ kathayitvā īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ jagaduḥ|
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
tataḥ paraṁ samastaṁ yihūdādeśaṁ tasya caturdiksthadeśañca tasyaitatkīrtti rvyānaśe|
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
tataḥ paraṁ yohanaḥ śiṣyeṣu taṁ tadvṛttāntaṁ jñāpitavatsu
19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
sa svaśiṣyāṇāṁ dvau janāvāhūya yīśuṁ prati vakṣyamāṇaṁ vākyaṁ vaktuṁ preṣayāmāsa, yasyāgamanam apekṣya tiṣṭhāmo vayaṁ kiṁ sa eva janastvaṁ? kiṁ vayamanyamapekṣya sthāsyāmaḥ?
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
paścāttau mānavau gatvā kathayāmāsatuḥ, yasyāgamanam apekṣya tiṣṭhāmo vayaṁ, kiṁ saeva janastvaṁ? kiṁ vayamanyamapekṣya sthāsyāmaḥ? kathāmimāṁ tubhyaṁ kathayituṁ yohan majjaka āvāṁ preṣitavān|
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
tasmin daṇḍe yīśūrogiṇo mahāvyādhimato duṣṭabhūtagrastāṁśca bahūn svasthān kṛtvā, anekāndhebhyaścakṣuṁṣi dattvā pratyuvāca,
22 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
yuvāṁ vrajatam andhā netrāṇi khañjāścaraṇāni ca prāpnuvanti, kuṣṭhinaḥ pariṣkriyante, badhirāḥ śravaṇāni mṛtāśca jīvanāni prāpnuvanti, daridrāṇāṁ samīpeṣu susaṁvādaḥ pracāryyate, yaṁ prati vighnasvarūpohaṁ na bhavāmi sa dhanyaḥ,
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
etāni yāni paśyathaḥ śṛṇuthaśca tāni yohanaṁ jñāpayatam|
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
tayo rdūtayo rgatayoḥ sato ryohani sa lokān vaktumupacakrame, yūyaṁ madhyeprāntaraṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ niragamata? kiṁ vāyunā kampitaṁ naḍaṁ?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
yūyaṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ niragamata? kiṁ sūkṣmavastraparidhāyinaṁ kamapi naraṁ? kintu ye sūkṣmamṛduvastrāṇi paridadhati sūttamāni dravyāṇi bhuñjate ca te rājadhānīṣu tiṣṭhanti|
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
tarhi yūyaṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ niragamata? kimekaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaṁ? tadeva satyaṁ kintu sa pumān bhaviṣyadvādinopi śreṣṭha ityahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi;
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
paśya svakīyadūtantu tavāgra preṣayāmyahaṁ| gatvā tvadīyamārgantu sa hi pariṣkariṣyati| yadarthe lipiriyam āste sa eva yohan|
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
ato yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi striyā garbbhajātānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ madhye yohano majjakāt śreṣṭhaḥ kopi nāsti, tatrāpi īśvarasya rājye yaḥ sarvvasmāt kṣudraḥ sa yohanopi śreṣṭhaḥ|
29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.
aparañca sarvve lokāḥ karamañcāyinaśca tasya vākyāni śrutvā yohanā majjanena majjitāḥ parameśvaraṁ nirdoṣaṁ menire|
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
kintu phirūśino vyavasthāpakāśca tena na majjitāḥ svān pratīśvarasyopadeśaṁ niṣphalam akurvvan|
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
atha prabhuḥ kathayāmāsa, idānīntanajanān kenopamāmi? te kasya sadṛśāḥ?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
ye bālakā vipaṇyām upaviśya parasparam āhūya vākyamidaṁ vadanti, vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭe vaṁśīravādiṣma, kintu yūyaṁ nānarttiṣṭa, vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭa arodiṣma, kintu yuyaṁ na vyalapiṣṭa, bālakairetādṛśaisteṣām upamā bhavati|
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
yato yohan majjaka āgatya pūpaṁ nākhādat drākṣārasañca nāpivat tasmād yūyaṁ vadatha, bhūtagrastoyam|
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
tataḥ paraṁ mānavasuta āgatyākhādadapivañca tasmād yūyaṁ vadatha, khādakaḥ surāpaścāṇḍālapāpināṁ bandhureko jano dṛśyatām|
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
kintu jñānino jñānaṁ nirdoṣaṁ viduḥ|
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
paścādekaḥ phirūśī yīśuṁ bhojanāya nyamantrayat tataḥ sa tasya gṛhaṁ gatvā bhoktumupaviṣṭaḥ|
37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
etarhi tatphirūśino gṛhe yīśu rbhektum upāvekṣīt tacchrutvā tannagaravāsinī kāpi duṣṭā nārī pāṇḍaraprastarasya sampuṭake sugandhitailam ānīya
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
tasya paścāt pādayoḥ sannidhau tasyau rudatī ca netrāmbubhistasya caraṇau prakṣālya nijakacairamārkṣīt, tatastasya caraṇau cumbitvā tena sugandhitailena mamarda|
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
tasmāt sa nimantrayitā phirūśī manasā cintayāmāsa, yadyayaṁ bhaviṣyadvādī bhavet tarhi enaṁ spṛśati yā strī sā kā kīdṛśī ceti jñātuṁ śaknuyāt yataḥ sā duṣṭā|
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
tadā yāśustaṁ jagāda, he śimon tvāṁ prati mama kiñcid vaktavyamasti; tasmāt sa babhāṣe, he guro tad vadatu|
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
ekottamarṇasya dvāvadhamarṇāvāstāṁ, tayorekaḥ pañcaśatāni mudrāpādān aparaśca pañcāśat mudrāpādān dhārayāmāsa|
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
tadanantaraṁ tayoḥ śodhyābhāvāt sa uttamarṇastayo rṛṇe cakṣame; tasmāt tayordvayoḥ kastasmin preṣyate bahu? tad brūhi|
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
śimon pratyuvāca, mayā budhyate yasyādhikam ṛṇaṁ cakṣame sa iti; tato yīśustaṁ vyājahāra, tvaṁ yathārthaṁ vyacārayaḥ|
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
atha tāṁ nārīṁ prati vyāghuṭhya śimonamavocat, strīmimāṁ paśyasi? tava gṛhe mayyāgate tvaṁ pādaprakṣālanārthaṁ jalaṁ nādāḥ kintu yoṣideṣā nayanajalai rmama pādau prakṣālya keśairamārkṣīt|
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
tvaṁ māṁ nācumbīḥ kintu yoṣideṣā svīyāgamanādārabhya madīyapādau cumbituṁ na vyaraṁsta|
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
tvañca madīyottamāṅge kiñcidapi tailaṁ nāmardīḥ kintu yoṣideṣā mama caraṇau sugandhitailenāmarddīt|
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
atastvāṁ vyāharāmi, etasyā bahu pāpamakṣamyata tato bahu prīyate kintu yasyālpapāpaṁ kṣamyate solpaṁ prīyate|
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
tataḥ paraṁ sa tāṁ babhāṣe, tvadīyaṁ pāpamakṣamyata|
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
tadā tena sārddhaṁ ye bhoktum upaviviśuste parasparaṁ vaktumārebhire, ayaṁ pāpaṁ kṣamate ka eṣaḥ?
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
kintu sa tāṁ nārīṁ jagāda, tava viśvāsastvāṁ paryyatrāsta tvaṁ kṣemeṇa vraja|
