Luke 5
1 On one occasion the crowd was pressing on Him and listening to God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
anantaraṁ yīśurekadā gineṣarathdasya tīra uttiṣṭhati, tadā lokā īśvarīyakathāṁ śrotuṁ tadupari prapatitāḥ|
2 He, however, saw two fishing-boats drawn up on the beach (for the men had gone away from them and were washing the nets),
tadānīṁ sa hdasya tīrasamīpe naudvayaṁ dadarśa kiñca matsyopajīvino nāvaṁ vihāya jālaṁ prakṣālayanti|
3 and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.
tatastayordvayo rmadhye śimono nāvamāruhya tīrāt kiñciddūraṁ yātuṁ tasmin vinayaṁ kṛtvā naukāyāmupaviśya lokān propadiṣṭavān|
4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
paścāt taṁ prastāvaṁ samāpya sa śimonaṁ vyājahāra, gabhīraṁ jalaṁ gatvā matsyān dharttuṁ jālaṁ nikṣipa|
5 "Rabbi," replied Peter, "all night long we have worked hard and caught nothing; but at your command I will let down the nets."
tataḥ śimona babhāṣe, he guro yadyapi vayaṁ kṛtsnāṁ yāminīṁ pariśramya matsyaikamapi na prāptāstathāpi bhavato nideśato jālaṁ kṣipāmaḥ|
6 This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.
atha jāle kṣipte bahumatsyapatanād ānāyaḥ pracchinnaḥ|
7 So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.
tasmād upakarttum anyanausthān saṅgina āyātum iṅgitena samāhvayan tatasta āgatya matsyai rnaudvayaṁ prapūrayāmāsu ryai rnaudvayaṁ pramagnam|
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and exclaimed, "Master, leave my boat, for I am a sinful man."
tadā śimonpitarastad vilokya yīśoścaraṇayoḥ patitvā, he prabhohaṁ pāpī naro mama nikaṭād bhavān yātu, iti kathitavān|
9 (For he was astonished and terrified--he and all his companions--at the haul of fish which they had taken;
yato jāle patitānāṁ matsyānāṁ yūthāt śimon tatsaṅginaśca camatkṛtavantaḥ; śimonaḥ sahakāriṇau sivadeḥ putrau yākūb yohan cemau tādṛśau babhūvatuḥ|
10 and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, "Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men."
tadā yīśuḥ śimonaṁ jagāda mā bhaiṣīradyārabhya tvaṁ manuṣyadharo bhaviṣyasi|
11 Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
anantaraṁ sarvvāsu nausu tīram ānītāsu te sarvvān parityajya tasya paścādgāmino babhūvuḥ|
12 On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, "Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."
tataḥ paraṁ yīśau kasmiṁścit pure tiṣṭhati jana ekaḥ sarvvāṅgakuṣṭhastaṁ vilokya tasya samīpe nyubjaḥ patitvā savinayaṁ vaktumārebhe, he prabho yadi bhavānicchati tarhi māṁ pariṣkarttuṁ śaknoti|
13 Reaching out His hand and touching him, Jesus said, "I am willing; be cleansed!" And instantly the leprosy left him.
tadānīṁ sa pāṇiṁ prasāryya tadaṅgaṁ spṛśan babhāṣe tvaṁ pariṣkriyasveti mamecchāsti tatastatkṣaṇaṁ sa kuṣṭhāt muktaḥ|
14 He ordered him to tell no one. "But go," He said, "show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them."
paścāt sa tamājñāpayāmāsa kathāmimāṁ kasmaicid akathayitvā yājakasya samīpañca gatvā svaṁ darśaya, lokebhyo nijapariṣkṛtatvasya pramāṇadānāya mūsājñānusāreṇa dravyamutmṛjasva ca|
15 But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
tathāpi yīśoḥ sukhyāti rbahu vyāptumārebhe kiñca tasya kathāṁ śrotuṁ svīyarogebhyo moktuñca lokā ājagmuḥ|
16 but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.
atha sa prāntaraṁ gatvā prārthayāñcakre|
17 One day He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.
aparañca ekadā yīśurupadiśati, etarhi gālīlyihūdāpradeśayoḥ sarvvanagarebhyo yirūśālamaśca kiyantaḥ phirūśilokā vyavasthāpakāśca samāgatya tadantike samupaviviśuḥ, tasmin kāle lokānāmārogyakāraṇāt prabhoḥ prabhāvaḥ pracakāśe|
18 And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.
paścāt kiyanto lokā ekaṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ khaṭvāyāṁ nidhāya yīśoḥ samīpamānetuṁ sammukhe sthāpayituñca vyāpriyanta|
19 But when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling--bed and all--into the midst, in front of Jesus.
kintu bahujananivahasamvādhāt na śaknuvanto gṛhopari gatvā gṛhapṛṣṭhaṁ khanitvā taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ sakhaṭvaṁ gṛhamadhye yīśoḥ sammukhe 'varohayāmāsuḥ|
20 He saw their faith and said to him, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."
tadā yīśusteṣām īdṛśaṁ viśvāsaṁ vilokya taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ vyājahāra, he mānava tava pāpamakṣamyata|
21 Then the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil, asking, "Who is this, uttering blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?"
tasmād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca cittairitthaṁ pracintitavantaḥ, eṣa jana īśvaraṁ nindati koyaṁ? kevalamīśvaraṁ vinā pāpaṁ kṣantuṁ kaḥ śaknoti?
22 Well aware of their reasonings, Jesus answered their questions by asking in turn, "What is this that you are debating in your hearts?
tadā yīśusteṣām itthaṁ cintanaṁ viditvā tebhyokathayad yūyaṁ manobhiḥ kuto vitarkayatha?
23 Which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?
tava pāpakṣamā jātā yadvā tvamutthāya vraja etayo rmadhye kā kathā sukathyā?
24 But to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --Turning to the paralytic He said, "I bid you, Rise, take up your bed, and go home."
kintu pṛthivyāṁ pāpaṁ kṣantuṁ mānavasutasya sāmarthyamastīti yathā yūyaṁ jñātuṁ śaknutha tadarthaṁ (sa taṁ pakṣāghātinaṁ jagāda) uttiṣṭha svaśayyāṁ gṛhītvā gṛhaṁ yāhīti tvāmādiśāmi|
25 Instantly he stood up in their presence, took up the mattress on which he had been lying, and went away to his home, giving glory to God.
tasmāt sa tatkṣaṇam utthāya sarvveṣāṁ sākṣāt nijaśayanīyaṁ gṛhītvā īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadan nijaniveśanaṁ yayau|
26 Amazement seized them all. "Glory to God!" was the abiding feeling. Yet fear flashed through their minds and they said, "We have seen strange things to-day."
tasmāt sarvve vismaya prāptā manaḥsu bhītāśca vayamadyāsambhavakāryyāṇyadarśāma ityuktvā parameśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ proditāḥ|
27 After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, "Follow me."
tataḥ paraṁ bahirgacchan karasañcayasthāne levināmānaṁ karasañcāyakaṁ dṛṣṭvā yīśustamabhidadhe mama paścādehi|
28 He rose, left everything, and followed Him.
tasmāt sa tatkṣaṇāt sarvvaṁ parityajya tasya paścādiyāya|
29 Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.
anantaraṁ levi rnijagṛhe tadarthaṁ mahābhojyaṁ cakāra, tadā taiḥ sahāneke karasañcāyinastadanyalokāśca bhoktumupaviviśuḥ|
30 This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, "Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
tasmāt kāraṇāt caṇḍālānāṁ pāpilokānāñca saṅge yūyaṁ kuto bhaṁgdhve pivatha ceti kathāṁ kathayitvā phirūśino'dhyāpakāśca tasya śiṣyaiḥ saha vāgyuddhaṁ karttumārebhire|
31 But Jesus replied to them, "It is not men in good health who require a physician, but the sick.
tasmād yīśustān pratyavocad arogalokānāṁ cikitsakena prayojanaṁ nāsti kintu sarogāṇāmeva|
32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners."
ahaṁ dhārmmikān āhvātuṁ nāgatosmi kintu manaḥ parāvarttayituṁ pāpina eva|
33 Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."
tataste procuḥ, yohanaḥ phirūśināñca śiṣyā vāraṁvāram upavasanti prārthayante ca kintu tava śiṣyāḥ kuto bhuñjate pivanti ca?
34 "Can you compel the bridal party to fast," replied Jesus, "so long as they have the bridegroom among them?
tadā sa tānācakhyau vare saṅge tiṣṭhati varasya sakhigaṇaṁ kimupavāsayituṁ śaknutha?
35 But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast."
kintu yadā teṣāṁ nikaṭād varo neṣyate tadā te samupavatsyanti|
36 He also spoke in figurative language to them. "No one," He said, "tears a piece from a new garment to mend an old one. Otherwise he would not only spoil the new, but the patch from the new would not match the old.
soparamapi dṛṣṭāntaṁ kathayāmbabhūva purātanavastre kopi nutanavastraṁ na sīvyati yatastena sevanena jīrṇavastraṁ chidyate, nūtanapurātanavastrayo rmelañca na bhavati|
37 Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins. Otherwise the new wine would burst the skins, the wine itself would be spilt, and the skins be destroyed.
purātanyāṁ kutvāṁ kopi nutanaṁ drākṣārasaṁ na nidadhāti, yato navīnadrākṣārasasya tejasā purātanī kutū rvidīryyate tato drākṣārasaḥ patati kutūśca naśyati|
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
tato heto rnūtanyāṁ kutvāṁ navīnadrākṣārasaḥ nidhātavyastenobhayasya rakṣā bhavati|
39 Nor does any one after drinking old wine wish for new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"
aparañca purātanaṁ drākṣārasaṁ pītvā kopi nūtanaṁ na vāñchati, yataḥ sa vakti nūtanāt purātanam praśastam|
