Luke 18
1 Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray and not become discouraged,
apara ncha lokairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAshayena yIshunA dR^iShTAnta ekaH kathitaH|
2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect people.
kutrachinnagare kashchit prADvivAka AsIt sa IshvarAnnAbibhet mAnuShAMshcha 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 kAchidvidhavA tatsamIpametya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariShkurvviti 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 prADvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tada NgIkR^itavAn pashchAchchitte chintayAmAsa, yadyapIshvarAnna bibhemi manuShyAnapi 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.'”
tathApyeShA vidhavA mAM klishnAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariShkariShyAmi nochet sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariShyati|
6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says.
pashchAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprADvivAko 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?
Ishvarasya ye. abhiruchitalokA divAnishaM prArthayante sa bahudinAni vilambyApi teShAM vivAdAn kiM na pariShkariShyati?
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?”
yuShmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariShkariShyati, kintu yadA manuShyaputra AgamiShyati tadA pR^ithivyAM kimIdR^ishaM vishvAsaM 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 j nAtvA parAn tuchChIkurvvanti etAdR^igbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dR^iShTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
ekaH phirUshyaparaH karasa nchAyI 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. asau phirUshyekapArshve tiShThan he Ishvara ahamanyalokavat loThayitAnyAyI pAradArikashcha na bhavAmi asya karasa nchAyinastulyashcha na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
12 I fast two times every week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
saptasu dineShu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampatte rdashamAMshaM dadAmi cha, 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 karasa nchAyi dUre tiShThan svargaM draShTuM nechChan vakShasi karAghAtaM kurvvan he Ishvara pApiShThaM 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 shishUnAM gAtrasparshArthaM lokAstAn tasya samIpamAninyuH shiShyAstad dR^iShTvAnetR^in 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 yIshustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM shishUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMshcha mA vArayata; yata IshvararAjyAdhikAriNa eShAM sadR^ishAH|
17 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter it.”
ahaM yuShmAn yathArthaM vadAmi, yo janaH shishoH sadR^isho bhUtvA IshvararAjyaM na gR^ihlAti sa kenApi prakAreNa tat praveShTuM na shaknoti|
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
aparam ekodhipatistaM paprachCha, he paramaguro, anantAyuShaH prAptaye mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
yIshuruvAcha, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IshvaraM 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 gachCha, naraM mA jahi, mA choraya, mithyAsAkShyaM mA dehi, mAtaraM pitara ncha saMmanyasva, etA yA Aj nAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
21 The ruler said, “All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth.”
tadA sa uvAcha, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA etA AcharAmi|
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.”
iti kathAM shrutvA yIshustamavadat, tathApi tavaikaM karmma nyUnamAste, nijaM sarvvasvaM vikrIya daridrebhyo vitara, tasmAt svarge dhanaM prApsyasi; tata Agatya mamAnugAmI bhava|
23 But when the ruler heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
kintvetAM kathAM shrutvA sodhipatiH shushocha, 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 yIshustamatishokAnvitaM dR^iShTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IshvararAjyapraveshaH kIdR^ig duShkaraH|
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.”
IshvararAjye dhaninaH praveshAt sUcheshChidreNa mahA Ngasya gamanAgamane sukare|
26 Those hearing it said, “Then who can be saved?”
shrotAraH paprachChustarhi kena paritrANaM prApsyate?
27 Jesus answered, “The things which are impossible with people are possible with God.”
sa uktavAn, yan mAnuSheNAshakyaM tad IshvareNa shakyaM|
28 Peter said, “Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you.”
tadA pitara uvAcha, pashya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pashchAdgAmino. abhavAma|
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 uvAcha, yuShmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi, IshvararAjyArthaM gR^ihaM pitarau bhrAtR^igaNaM jAyAM santAnAMshcha 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 kashchidandhaH pathaH pArshva upavishya bhikShAm akarot
36 and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.

37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
nAsaratIyayIshuryAtIti lokairukte sa uchchairvaktumArebhe,
38 So the blind man cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
he dAyUdaH santAna yIsho 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.”
tatogragAminastaM maunI tiShTheti tarjayAmAsuH kintu sa punAruvan uvAcha, he dAyUdaH santAna mAM dayasva|
40 Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus asked him,
tadA yIshuH sthagito bhUtvA svAntike tamAnetum Adidesha|
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 paprachCha, tvaM kimichChasi? tvadarthamahaM kiM kariShyAmi? sa uktavAn, he prabho. ahaM draShTuM labhai|
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.
