Luke 18
1 Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray and not become discouraged,
aparanjca lOkairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAzayEna yIzunA dRSTAnta EkaH kathitaH|
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect people.
kutracinnagarE kazcit prAPvivAka AsIt sa IzvarAnnAbibhEt mAnuSAMzca nAmanyata|
3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she came often to him, saying, 'Help me get justice against my opponent.'
atha tatpuravAsinI kAcidvidhavA tatsamIpamEtya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariSkurvviti nivEdayAmAsa|
4 For a long time he was not willing to help her, but after a while he said to himself, 'Though I do not fear God or respect man,
tataH sa prAPvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tadaggIkRtavAn pazcAccittE cintayAmAsa, yadyapIzvarAnna bibhEmi manuSyAnapi na manyE
5 yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will help her get justice, so that she does not wear me out by her constant coming.'”
tathApyESA vidhavA mAM kliznAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariSkariSyAmi nOcEt sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariSyati|
6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
pazcAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprAPvivAkO yadAha tatra manO nidhadhvaM|
7 Now will not God also bring justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
Izvarasya yE 'bhirucitalOkA divAnizaM prArthayantE sa bahudinAni vilambyApi tESAM vivAdAn kiM na pariSkariSyati?
8 I say to you that he will bring justice to them speedily. Even so, when the Son of Man comes, will he indeed find faith on the earth?”
yuSmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariSkariSyati, kintu yadA manuSyaputra AgamiSyati tadA pRthivyAM kimIdRzaM vizvAsaM prApsyati?
9 Then he also spoke this parable to some who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous and who despised other people,
yE svAn dhArmmikAn jnjAtvA parAn tucchIkurvvanti EtAdRgbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dRSTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
EkaH phirUzyaparaH karasanjcAyI dvAvimau prArthayituM mandiraM gatau|
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things about himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, unrighteous people, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
tatO'sau phirUzyEkapArzvE tiSThan hE Izvara ahamanyalOkavat lOThayitAnyAyI pAradArikazca na bhavAmi asya karasanjcAyinastulyazca na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
12 I fast two times every week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
saptasu dinESu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampattE rdazamAMzaM dadAmi ca, EtatkathAM kathayan prArthayAmAsa|
13 But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
kintu sa karasanjcAyi dUrE tiSThan svargaM draSTuM nEcchan vakSasi karAghAtaM kurvvan hE Izvara pApiSThaM mAM dayasva, itthaM prArthayAmAsa|
14 I say to you, this man went back down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15 The people were also bringing to him their infants so that he might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
atha zizUnAM gAtrasparzArthaM lOkAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH ziSyAstad dRSTvAnEtRn tarjayAmAsuH,
16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
kintu yIzustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM zizUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMzca mA vArayata; yata IzvararAjyAdhikAriNa ESAM sadRzAH|
17 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter it.”

18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
aparam EkOdhipatistaM papraccha, hE paramagurO, anantAyuSaH prAptayE mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
yIzuruvAca, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IzvaraM vinA kOpi paramO na bhavati|
20 You know the commandments—do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and mother.”
paradArAn mA gaccha, naraM mA jahi, mA cOraya, mithyAsAkSyaM mA dEhi, mAtaraM pitaranjca saMmanyasva, EtA yA AjnjAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
21 The ruler said, “All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth.”
tadA sa uvAca, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA EtA AcarAmi|
22 When Jesus heard that, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. You must sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”

23 But when the ruler heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
kintvEtAM kathAM zrutvA sOdhipatiH zuzOca, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
24 Then Jesus, seeing him, became very sad and said, “How difficult it is for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God!
tadA yIzustamatizOkAnvitaM dRSTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IzvararAjyapravEzaH kIdRg duSkaraH|
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
IzvararAjyE dhaninaH pravEzAt sUcEzchidrENa mahAggasya gamanAgamanE sukarE|
26 Those hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”
zrOtAraH papracchustarhi kEna paritrANaM prApsyatE?
27 Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”
sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSENAzakyaM tad IzvarENa zakyaM|
28 Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”
tadA pitara uvAca, pazya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pazcAdgAminO'bhavAma|
29 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, I say to you that there is no one who has 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 After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

32 For he will be given over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon.

33 After whipping him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”

34 They understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.

35 It came about that, as Jesus approached Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,
atha tasmin yirIhOH purasyAntikaM prAptE kazcidandhaH pathaH pArzva upavizya bhikSAm akarOt
36 and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
nAsaratIyayIzuryAtIti lOkairuktE sa uccairvaktumArEbhE,
38 So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
hE dAyUdaH santAna yIzO mAM dayasva|
39 The ones who were walking ahead rebuked the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”

40 Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus asked him,
tadA yIzuH sthagitO bhUtvA svAntikE tamAnEtum AdidEza|
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
tataH sa tasyAntikam Agamat, tadA sa taM papraccha, tvaM kimicchasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariSyAmi? sa uktavAn, hE prabhO'haM draSTuM labhai|
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
tadA yIzuruvAca, dRSTizaktiM gRhANa tava pratyayastvAM svasthaM kRtavAn|
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
