Luke 13
1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
اَپَرَنْچَ پِیلاتو ییشاں گالِیلِییاناں رَکْتانِ بَلِیناں رَکْتَیح سَہامِشْرَیَتْ تیشاں گالِیلِییاناں ورِتّانْتَں کَتِپَیَجَنا اُپَسْتھاپْیَ یِیشَوے کَتھَیاماسُح۔
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
تَتَح سَ پْرَتْیُواچَ تیشاں لوکانامْ ایتادرِشِی دُرْگَتِ رْگھَٹِتا تَتْکارَنادْ یُویَں کِمَنْییبھْیو گالِیلِیییبھْیوپْیَدھِکَپاپِنَسْتانْ بودھَدھْوے؟
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ تَتھا نَ کِنْتُ مَنَحسُ نَ پَراوَرْتِّتیشُ یُویَمَپِ تَتھا نَںکْشْیَتھَ۔
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
اَپَرَنْچَ شِیلوہَنامْنَ اُچَّگرِہَسْیَ پَتَنادْ یےشْٹادَشَجَنا مرِتاسْتے یِرُوشالَمِ نِواسِسَرْوَّلوکیبھْیودھِکاپَرادھِنَح کِں یُویَمِتْیَں بودھَدھْوے؟
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ تَتھا نَ کِنْتُ مَنَحسُ نَ پَرِوَرْتِّتیشُ یُویَمَپِ تَتھا نَںکْشْیَتھَ۔
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
اَنَنْتَرَں سَ اِماں درِشْٹانْتَکَتھامَکَتھَیَدْ ایکو جَنو دْراکْشاکْشیتْرَمَدھْیَ ایکَمُڈُمْبَرَورِکْشَں روپِتَوانْ۔ پَشْچاتْ سَ آگَتْیَ تَسْمِنْ پھَلانِ گَویشَیاماسَ،
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
کِنْتُ پھَلاپْراپْتیح کارَنادْ اُدْیانَکارَں بھرِتْیَں جَگادَ، پَشْیَ وَتْسَرَتْرَیَں یاوَداگَتْیَ ایتَسْمِنُّڈُمْبَرَتَرَو کْشَلانْیَنْوِچّھامِ، کِنْتُ نَیکَمَپِ پْرَپْنومِ تَرُرَیَں کُتو ورِتھا سْتھانَں وْیاپْیَ تِشْٹھَتِ؟ اینَں چھِنْدھِ۔
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
تَتو بھرِتْیَح پْرَتْیُواچَ، ہے پْرَبھو پُنَرْوَرْشَمیکَں سْتھاتُمْ آدِشَ؛ ایتَسْیَ مُولَسْیَ چَتُرْدِکْشُ کھَنِتْواہَمْ آلَوالَں سْتھاپَیامِ۔
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
تَتَح پھَلِتُں شَکْنوتِ یَدِ نَ پھَلَتِ تَرْہِ پَشْچاتْ چھیتْسْیَسِ۔
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
اَتھَ وِشْرامَوارے بھَجَنَگیہے یِیشُرُپَدِشَتِ
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
تَسْمِتْ سَمَیے بھُوتَگْرَسْتَتْواتْ کُبْجِیبھُویاشْٹادَشَوَرْشانِ یاوَتْ کیناپْیُپایینَ رِجُ رْبھَوِتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ یا دُرْبَّلا سْتْرِی،
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
تاں تَتْروپَسْتھِتاں وِلوکْیَ یِیشُسْتاماہُویَ کَتھِتَوانْ ہے نارِ تَوَ دَورْبَّلْیاتْ تْوَں مُکْتا بھَوَ۔
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
تَتَح پَرَں تَسْیا گاتْرے ہَسْتارْپَنَماتْراتْ سا رِجُرْبھُوتْویشْوَرَسْیَ دھَنْیَوادَں کَرْتُّماریبھے۔
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
کِنْتُ وِشْرامَوارے یِیشُنا تَسْیاح سْواسْتھْیَکَرَنادْ بھَجَنَگیہَسْیادھِپَتِح پْرَکُپْیَ لوکانْ اُواچَ، شَٹْسُ دِنیشُ لوکَیح کَرْمَّ کَرْتَّوْیَں تَسْمادّھیتوح سْواسْتھْیارْتھَں تیشُ دِنیشُ آگَچّھَتَ، وِشْرامَوارے ماگَچّھَتَ۔
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
تَدا پَبھُح پْرَتْیُواچَ رے کَپَٹِنو یُشْماکَمْ ایکَیکو جَنو وِشْرامَوارے سْوِییَں سْوِییَں ورِشَبھَں گَرْدَبھَں وا بَنْدھَنانْموچَیِتْوا جَلَں پایَیِتُں کِں نَ نَیَتِ؟
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”

17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
ایشُ واکْییشُ کَتھِتیشُ تَسْیَ وِپَکْشاح سَلَجّا جاتاح کِنْتُ تینَ کرِتَسَرْوَّمَہاکَرْمَّکارَناتْ لوکَنِوَہَح سانَنْدوبھَوَتْ۔
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
اَنَنْتَرَں سووَدَدْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں کَسْیَ سَدرِشَں؟ کینَ تَدُپَماسْیامِ؟
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
یَتْ سَرْشَپَبِیجَں گرِہِیتْوا کَشْچِجَّنَ اُدْیانَ اُپْتَوانْ تَدْ بِیجَمَنْکُرِتَں سَتْ مَہاورِکْشوجایَتَ، تَتَسْتَسْیَ شاکھاسُ وِہایَسِییَوِہَگا آگَتْیَ نْیُوشُح، تَدْراجْیَں تادرِشینَ سَرْشَپَبِیجینَ تُلْیَں۔
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
پُنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں کَسْیَ سَدرِشَں وَدِشْیامِ؟ یَتْ کِنْوَں کاچِتْ سْتْرِی گرِہِیتْوا دْرونَتْرَیَپَرِمِتَگودھُومَچُورْنیشُ سْتھاپَیاماسَ،
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
تَتَح کْرَمینَ تَتْ سَرْوَّگودھُومَچُورْنَں وْیاپْنوتِ، تَسْیَ کِنْوَسْیَ تُلْیَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَں۔
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
تَتَح سَ یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں پْرَتِ یاتْراں کرِتْوا نَگَرے نَگَرے گْرامے گْرامے سَمُپَدِشَنْ جَگامَ۔
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
تَدا کَشْچِجَّنَسْتَں پَپْرَچّھَ، ہے پْرَبھو کِں کیوَلَمْ اَلْپے لوکاح پَرِتْراسْیَنْتے؟
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.

25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
گرِہَپَتِنوتّھایَ دْوارے رُدّھے سَتِ یَدِ یُویَں بَہِح سْتھِتْوا دْوارَماہَتْیَ وَدَتھَ، ہے پْرَبھو ہے پْرَبھو اَسْمَتْکارَنادْ دْوارَں موچَیَتُ، تَتَح سَ اِتِ پْرَتِوَکْشْیَتِ، یُویَں کُتْرَتْیا لوکا اِتْیَہَں نَ جانامِ۔
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
تَدا یُویَں وَدِشْیَتھَ، تَوَ ساکْشادْ وَیَں بھےجَنَں پانَنْچَ کرِتَوَنْتَح، تْوَنْچاسْماکَں نَگَرَسْیَ پَتھِ سَمُپَدِشْٹَوانْ۔
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
کِنْتُ سَ وَکْشْیَتِ، یُشْمانَہَں وَدامِ، یُویَں کُتْرَتْیا لوکا اِتْیَہَں نَ جانامِ؛ ہے دُراچارِنو یُویَں مَتّو دُورِیبھَوَتَ۔
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!

29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).

30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”

31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
اَپَرَنْچَ تَسْمِنْ دِنے کِیَنْتَح پھِرُوشِنَ آگَتْیَ یِیشُں پْروچُح، بَہِرْگَچّھَ، سْتھانادَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھانَں کُرُ، ہیرودْ تْواں جِگھاںسَتِ۔
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.

33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”

34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].

35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
