Luke 11
1 At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
anantaraṁ sa kasmiṁścit sthāne prārthayata tatsamāptau satyāṁ tasyaikaḥ śiṣyastaṁ jagāda he prabho yohan yathā svaśiṣyān prārthayitum upadiṣṭavān tathā bhavānapyasmān upadiśatu|
2 So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
tasmāt sa kathayāmāsa, prārthanakāle yūyam itthaṁ kathayadhvaṁ, he asmākaṁ svargasthapitastava nāma pūjyaṁ bhavatu; tava rājatvaṁ bhavatu; svarge yathā tathā pṛthivyāmapi tavecchayā sarvvaṁ bhavatu|
3 give us day after day our bread for the day;
pratyaham asmākaṁ prayojanīyaṁ bhojyaṁ dehi|
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
yathā vayaṁ sarvvān aparādhinaḥ kṣamāmahe tathā tvamapi pāpānyasmākaṁ kṣamasva| asmān parīkṣāṁ mānaya kintu pāpātmano rakṣa|
5 And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say, "'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
paścāt soparamapi kathitavān yadi yuṣmākaṁ kasyacid bandhustiṣṭhati niśīthe ca tasya samīpaṁ sa gatvā vadati,
6 for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?
he bandho pathika eko bandhu rmama niveśanam āyātaḥ kintu tasyātithyaṁ karttuṁ mamāntike kimapi nāsti, ataeva pūpatrayaṁ mahyam ṛṇaṁ dehi;
7 "And he from indoors shall answer, "'Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'
tadā sa yadi gṛhamadhyāt prativadati māṁ mā kliśāna, idānīṁ dvāraṁ ruddhaṁ śayane mayā saha bālakāśca tiṣṭhanti tubhyaṁ dātum utthātuṁ na śaknomi,
8 "I tell you that even if he will not rise and give him the loaves because he is his friend, at any rate because of his persistency he will rouse himself and give him as many as he requires.
tarhi yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi, sa yadi mitratayā tasmai kimapi dātuṁ nottiṣṭhati tathāpi vāraṁ vāraṁ prārthanāta utthāpitaḥ san yasmin tasya prayojanaṁ tadeva dāsyati|
9 "So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
ataḥ kāraṇāt kathayāmi, yācadhvaṁ tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dāsyate, mṛgayadhvaṁ tata uddeśaṁ prāpsyatha, dvāram āhata tato yuṣmabhyaṁ dvāraṁ mokṣyate|
10 For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
yo yācate sa prāpnoti, yo mṛgayate sa evoddeśaṁ prāpnoti, yo dvāram āhanti tadarthaṁ dvāraṁ mocyate|
11 And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
putreṇa pūpe yācite tasmai pāṣāṇaṁ dadāti vā matsye yācite tasmai sarpaṁ dadāti
12 or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
vā aṇḍe yācite tasmai vṛścikaṁ dadāti yuṣmākaṁ madhye ka etādṛśaḥ pitāste?
13 If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
tasmādeva yūyamabhadrā api yadi svasvabālakebhya uttamāni dravyāṇi dātuṁ jānītha tarhyasmākaṁ svargasthaḥ pitā nijayācakebhyaḥ kiṁ pavitram ātmānaṁ na dāsyati?
14 On once occasion He was expelling a dumb demon; and when the demon was gone out the dumb man could speak, and the people were astonished.
anantaraṁ yīśunā kasmāccid ekasmin mūkabhūte tyājite sati sa bhūtatyakto mānuṣo vākyaṁ vaktum ārebhe; tato lokāḥ sakalā āścaryyaṁ menire|
15 But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."
kintu teṣāṁ kecidūcu rjanoyaṁ bālasibūbā arthād bhūtarājena bhūtān tyājayati|
16 Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.
taṁ parīkṣituṁ kecid ākāśīyam ekaṁ cihnaṁ darśayituṁ taṁ prārthayāñcakrire|
17 And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war rages goes to ruin: family attacks family and is overthrown.
tadā sa teṣāṁ manaḥkalpanāṁ jñātvā kathayāmāsa, kasyacid rājyasya lokā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tad rājyam naśyati; kecid gṛhasthā yadi parasparaṁ virundhanti tarhi tepi naśyanti|
18 And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
tathaiva śaitānapi svalokān yadi viruṇaddhi tadā tasya rājyaṁ kathaṁ sthāsyati? bālasibūbāhaṁ bhūtān tyājayāmi yūyamiti vadatha|
19 And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
yadyahaṁ bālasibūbā bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ santānāḥ kena tyājayanti? tasmāt taeva kathāyā etasyā vicārayitāro bhaviṣyanti|
20 But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
kintu yadyaham īśvarasya parākrameṇa bhūtān tyājayāmi tarhi yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭam īśvarasya rājyamavaśyam upatiṣṭhati|
21 "Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
balavān pumān susajjamāno yatikālaṁ nijāṭṭālikāṁ rakṣati tatikālaṁ tasya dravyaṁ nirupadravaṁ tiṣṭhati|
22 but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
kintu tasmād adhikabalaḥ kaścidāgatya yadi taṁ jayati tarhi yeṣu śastrāstreṣu tasya viśvāsa āsīt tāni sarvvāṇi hṛtvā tasya dravyāṇi gṛhlāti|
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
ataḥ kāraṇād yo mama sapakṣo na sa vipakṣaḥ, yo mayā saha na saṁgṛhlāti sa vikirati|
24 "When a foul spirit has left a man, it roams about in the Desert, seeking a resting-place; but, unable to find any, it says, 'I will return to the house I have left;"
aparañca amedhyabhūto mānuṣasyāntarnirgatya śuṣkasthāne bhrāntvā viśrāmaṁ mṛgayate kintu na prāpya vadati mama yasmād gṛhād āgatohaṁ punastad gṛhaṁ parāvṛtya yāmi|
25 and when it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in good order.
tato gatvā tad gṛhaṁ mārjitaṁ śobhitañca dṛṣṭvā
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.
tatkṣaṇam apagatya svasmādapi durmmatīn aparān saptabhūtān sahānayati te ca tadgṛhaṁ paviśya nivasanti| tasmāt tasya manuṣyasya prathamadaśātaḥ śeṣadaśā duḥkhatarā bhavati|
27 As He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, "Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked."
asyāḥ kathāyāḥ kathanakāle janatāmadhyasthā kācinnārī tamuccaiḥsvaraṁ provāca, yā yoṣit tvāṁ garbbhe'dhārayat stanyamapāyayacca saiva dhanyā|
28 "Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."
kintu sokathayat ye parameśvarasya kathāṁ śrutvā tadanurūpam ācaranti taeva dhanyāḥ|
29 Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that of Jonah.
tataḥ paraṁ tasyāntike bahulokānāṁ samāgame jāte sa vaktumārebhe, ādhunikā duṣṭalokāścihnaṁ draṣṭumicchanti kintu yūnasbhaviṣyadvādinaścihnaṁ vinānyat kiñciccihnaṁ tān na darśayiṣyate|
30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a token to the present generation.
yūnas tu yathā nīnivīyalokānāṁ samīpe cihnarūpobhavat tathā vidyamānalokānām eṣāṁ samīpe manuṣyaputropi cihnarūpo bhaviṣyati|
31 The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.
vicārasamaye idānīntanalokānāṁ prātikūlyena dakṣiṇadeśīyā rājñī protthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyati, yataḥ sā rājñī sulemāna upadeśakathāṁ śrotuṁ pṛthivyāḥ sīmāta āgacchat kintu paśyata sulemānopi gurutara eko jano'smin sthāne vidyate|
32 There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.
aparañca vicārasamaye nīnivīyalokā api varttamānakālikānāṁ lokānāṁ vaiparītyena protthāya tān doṣiṇaḥ kariṣyanti, yato hetoste yūnaso vākyāt cittāni parivarttayāmāsuḥ kintu paśyata yūnasotigurutara eko jano'smin sthāne vidyate|
33 "When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come in may see the light.
pradīpaṁ prajvālya droṇasyādhaḥ kutrāpi guptasthāne vā kopi na sthāpayati kintu gṛhapraveśibhyo dīptiṁ dātaṁ dīpādhāroparyyeva sthāpayati|
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eyesight is good, your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective, your body is darkened.
dehasya pradīpaścakṣustasmādeva cakṣu ryadi prasannaṁ bhavati tarhi tava sarvvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati kintu cakṣu ryadi malīmasaṁ tiṣṭhati tarhi sarvvaśarīraṁ sāndhakāraṁ sthāsyati|
35 Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.
asmāt kāraṇāt tavāntaḥsthaṁ jyoti ryathāndhakāramayaṁ na bhavati tadarthe sāvadhāno bhava|
36 If, however, your whole body is penetrated with light, and has no part dark, it will be so lighted, all of it, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
yataḥ śarīrasya kutrāpyaṁśe sāndhakāre na jāte sarvvaṁ yadi dīptimat tiṣṭhati tarhi tubhyaṁ dīptidāyiprojjvalan pradīpa iva tava savarvaśarīraṁ dīptimad bhaviṣyati|
37 When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.
etatkathāyāḥ kathanakāle phiruśyeko bhejanāya taṁ nimantrayāmāsa, tataḥ sa gatvā bhoktum upaviveśa|
38 Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.
kintu bhojanāt pūrvvaṁ nāmāṅkṣīt etad dṛṣṭvā sa phiruśyāścaryyaṁ mene|
39 The Master however said to him, "Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.
tadā prabhustaṁ provāca yūyaṁ phirūśilokāḥ pānapātrāṇāṁ bhojanapātrāṇāñca bahiḥ pariṣkurutha kintu yuṣmākamanta rdaurātmyai rduṣkriyābhiśca paripūrṇaṁ tiṣṭhati|
40 Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
he sarvve nirbodhā yo bahiḥ sasarja sa eva kimanta rna sasarja?
41 But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you.
tata eva yuṣmābhirantaḥkaraṇaṁ (īśvarāya) nivedyatāṁ tasmin kṛte yuṣmākaṁ sarvvāṇi śucitāṁ yāsyanti|
42 "But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.
kintu hanta phirūśigaṇā yūyaṁ nyāyam īśvare prema ca parityajya podināyā arudādīnāṁ sarvveṣāṁ śākānāñca daśamāṁśān dattha kintu prathamaṁ pālayitvā śeṣasyālaṅghanaṁ yuṣmākam ucitamāsīt|
43 Alas for you Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and you like to be bowed to in places of public resort.
hā hā phirūśino yūyaṁ bhajanagehe proccāsane āpaṇeṣu ca namaskāreṣu prīyadhve|
44 Alas for you! for you are like the tombs which lie hidden, and the people who walk over them are not aware of their existence."
vata kapaṭino'dhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca lokāyat śmaśānam anupalabhya tadupari gacchanti yūyam tādṛgaprakāśitaśmaśānavād bhavatha|
45 Hereupon one of the expounders of the Law exclaimed, "Rabbi, in saying such things you reproach us also."
tadānīṁ vyavasthāpakānām ekā yīśumavadat, he upadeśaka vākyenedṛśenāsmāsvapi doṣam āropayasi|
46 "Alas too for you expounders of the Law!" replied Jesus, "for you load men with cumbrous burdens which you yourselves will not touch with one of your fingers.
tataḥ sa uvāca, hā hā vyavasthāpakā yūyam mānuṣāṇām upari duḥsahyān bhārān nyasyatha kintu svayam ekāṅgulyāpi tān bhārān na spṛśatha|
47 Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.
hanta yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā yān bhaviṣyadvādino'vadhiṣusteṣāṁ śmaśānāni yūyaṁ nirmmātha|
48 It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
tenaiva yūyaṁ svapūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ karmmāṇi saṁmanyadhve tadeva sapramāṇaṁ kurutha ca, yataste tānavadhiṣuḥ yūyaṁ teṣāṁ śmaśānāni nirmmātha|
49 "For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'
ataeva īśvarasya śāstre proktamasti teṣāmantike bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ preritāṁśca preṣayiṣyāmi tataste teṣāṁ kāṁścana haniṣyanti kāṁścana tāḍaśṣyinti|
50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.
etasmāt kāraṇāt hābilaḥ śoṇitapātamārabhya mandirayajñavedyo rmadhye hatasya sikhariyasya raktapātaparyyantaṁ
51 Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House, it shall all be required from the present generation.
jagataḥ sṛṣṭimārabhya pṛthivyāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ yatiraktapātā jātāstatīnām aparādhadaṇḍā eṣāṁ varttamānalokānāṁ bhaviṣyanti, yuṣmānahaṁ niścitaṁ vadāmi sarvve daṇḍā vaṁśasyāsya bhaviṣyanti|
52 "Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered."
hā hā vyavasthapakā yūyaṁ jñānasya kuñcikāṁ hṛtvā svayaṁ na praviṣṭā ye praveṣṭuñca prayāsinastānapi praveṣṭuṁ vāritavantaḥ|
53 After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,
itthaṁ kathākathanād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca satarkāḥ
54 lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.
santastamapavadituṁ tasya kathāyā doṣaṁ dharttamicchanto nānākhyānakathanāya taṁ pravarttayituṁ kopayituñca prārebhire|
