< Luke 6 >

1 Now on the second-first Sabbath while He was passing through the wheatfields, His disciples were plucking the ears and rubbing them with their hands to eat the grain.
acarañca parvvaṇo dvitīyadināt paraṁ prathamaviśrāmavāre śasyakṣetreṇa yīśorgamanakāle tasya śiṣyāḥ kaṇiśaṁ chittvā kareṣu marddayitvā khāditumārebhire|
2 And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"
tasmāt kiyantaḥ phirūśinastānavadan viśrāmavāre yat karmma na karttavyaṁ tat kutaḥ kurutha?
3 "Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus--"what David did when he and his followers were hungry;
yīśuḥ pratyuvāca dāyūd tasya saṅginaśca kṣudhārttāḥ kiṁ cakruḥ sa katham īśvarasya mandiraṁ praviśya
4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"
ye darśanīyāḥ pūpā yājakān vinānyasya kasyāpyabhojanīyāstānānīya svayaṁ bubhaje saṅgibhyopi dadau tat kiṁ yuṣmābhiḥ kadāpi nāpāṭhi?
5 "The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
paścāt sa tānavadat manujasuto viśrāmavārasyāpi prabhu rbhavati|
6 On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered.
anantaram anyaviśrāmavāre sa bhajanagehaṁ praviśya samupadiśati| tadā tatsthāne śuṣkadakṣiṇakara ekaḥ pumān upatasthivān|
7 The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.
tasmād adhyāpakāḥ phirūśinaśca tasmin doṣamāropayituṁ sa viśrāmavāre tasya svāsthyaṁ karoti naveti pratīkṣitumārebhire|
8 He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle." And he rose and stood there.
tadā yīśusteṣāṁ cintāṁ viditvā taṁ śuṣkakaraṁ pumāṁsaṁ provāca, tvamutthāya madhyasthāne tiṣṭha|
9 Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it."
tasmāt tasmin utthitavati yīśustān vyājahāra, yuṣmān imāṁ kathāṁ pṛcchāmi, viśrāmavāre hitam ahitaṁ vā, prāṇarakṣaṇaṁ prāṇanāśanaṁ vā, eteṣāṁ kiṁ karmmakaraṇīyam?
10 And looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored.
paścāt caturdikṣu sarvvān vilokya taṁ mānavaṁ babhāṣe, nijakaraṁ prasāraya; tatastena tathā kṛta itarakaravat tasya hastaḥ svasthobhavat|
11 But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.
tasmāt te pracaṇḍakopānvitā yīśuṁ kiṁ kariṣyantīti parasparaṁ pramantritāḥ|
12 About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.
tataḥ paraṁ sa parvvatamāruhyeśvaramuddiśya prārthayamānaḥ kṛtsnāṁ rātriṁ yāpitavān|
13 When it was day, He called His disciples; and He selected from among them twelve, whom He also named Apostles.
atha dine sati sa sarvvān śiṣyān āhūtavān teṣāṁ madhye
14 These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
pitaranāmnā khyātaḥ śimon tasya bhrātā āndriyaśca yākūb yohan ca philip barthalamayaśca
15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
mathiḥ thomā ālphīyasya putro yākūb jvalantanāmnā khyātaḥ śimon
16 James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to be a traitor.
ca yākūbo bhrātā yihūdāśca taṁ yaḥ parakareṣu samarpayiṣyati sa īṣkarīyotīyayihūdāścaitān dvādaśa janān manonītān kṛtvā sa jagrāha tathā prerita iti teṣāṁ nāma cakāra|
17 With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
tataḥ paraṁ sa taiḥ saha parvvatādavaruhya upatyakāyāṁ tasthau tatastasya śiṣyasaṅgho yihūdādeśād yirūśālamaśca soraḥ sīdonaśca jaladhe rodhaso jananihāśca etya tasya kathāśravaṇārthaṁ rogamuktyarthañca tasya samīpe tasthuḥ|
18 and those who were tormented by foul spirits were cured.
amedhyabhūtagrastāśca tannikaṭamāgatya svāsthyaṁ prāpuḥ|
19 The whole crowd were eager to touch Him, because power went forth from him and cured every one.
sarvveṣāṁ svāsthyakaraṇaprabhāvasya prakāśitatvāt sarvve lokā etya taṁ spraṣṭuṁ yetire|
20 Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them, "Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
paścāt sa śiṣyān prati dṛṣṭiṁ kutvā jagāda, he daridrā yūyaṁ dhanyā yata īśvarīye rājye vo'dhikārosti|
21 "Blessed are you who hunger now, because your hunger shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud, because you shall laugh.
he adhunā kṣudhitalokā yūyaṁ dhanyā yato yūyaṁ tarpsyatha; he iha rodino janā yūyaṁ dhanyā yato yūyaṁ hasiṣyatha|
22 "Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.
yadā lokā manuṣyasūno rnāmaheto ryuṣmān ṛtīyiṣyante pṛthak kṛtvā nindiṣyanti, adhamāniva yuṣmān svasamīpād dūrīkariṣyanti ca tadā yūyaṁ dhanyāḥ|
23 "Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!
svarge yuṣmākaṁ yatheṣṭaṁ phalaṁ bhaviṣyati, etadarthaṁ tasmin dine prollasata ānandena nṛtyata ca, teṣāṁ pūrvvapuruṣāśca bhaviṣyadvādinaḥ prati tathaiva vyavāharan|
24 "But alas for you rich men, because you already have your consolation!
kintu hā hā dhanavanto yūyaṁ sukhaṁ prāpnuta| hanta paritṛptā yūyaṁ kṣudhitā bhaviṣyatha;
25 "Alas for you who now have plenty to eat, because you will be hungry! "Alas for you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep aloud!
iha hasanto yūyaṁ vata yuṣmābhiḥ śocitavyaṁ roditavyañca|
26 "Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!
sarvvailākai ryuṣmākaṁ sukhyātau kṛtāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ durgati rbhaviṣyati yuṣmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā mṛṣābhaviṣyadvādinaḥ prati tadvat kṛtavantaḥ|
27 "But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;
he śrotāro yuṣmabhyamahaṁ kathayāmi, yūyaṁ śatruṣu prīyadhvaṁ ye ca yuṣmān dviṣanti teṣāmapi hitaṁ kuruta|
28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.
ye ca yuṣmān śapanti tebhya āśiṣaṁ datta ye ca yuṣmān avamanyante teṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ prārthayadhvaṁ|
29 To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.
yadi kaścit tava kapole capeṭāghātaṁ karoti tarhi taṁ prati kapolam anyaṁ parāvarttya sammukhīkuru punaśca yadi kaścit tava gātrīyavastraṁ harati tarhi taṁ paridheyavastram api grahītuṁ mā vāraya|
30 To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back.
yastvāṁ yācate tasmai dehi, yaśca tava sampattiṁ harati taṁ mā yācasva|
31 And behave to your fellow men just as you would have them behave to you.
parebhyaḥ svān prati yathācaraṇam apekṣadhve parān prati yūyamapi tathācarata|
32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is it to you? Why, even bad men love those who love them.
ye janā yuṣmāsu prīyante kevalaṁ teṣu prīyamāṇeṣu yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ? pāpilokā api sveṣu prīyamāṇeṣu prīyante|
33 And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even bad men act thus.
yadi hitakāriṇa eva hitaṁ kurutha tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ? pāpilokā api tathā kurvvanti|
34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? Even bad men lend to their fellows so as to receive back an equal amount.
yebhya ṛṇapariśodhasya prāptipratyāśāste kevalaṁ teṣu ṛṇe samarpite yuṣmākaṁ kiṁ phalaṁ? punaḥ prāptyāśayā pāpīlokā api pāpijaneṣu ṛṇam arpayanti|
35 Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
ato yūyaṁ ripuṣvapi prīyadhvaṁ, parahitaṁ kuruta ca; punaḥ prāptyāśāṁ tyaktvā ṛṇamarpayata, tathā kṛte yuṣmākaṁ mahāphalaṁ bhaviṣyati, yūyañca sarvvapradhānasya santānā iti khyātiṁ prāpsyatha, yato yuṣmākaṁ pitā kṛtaghnānāṁ durvṭattānāñca hitamācarati|
36 Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
ata eva sa yathā dayālu ryūyamapi tādṛśā dayālavo bhavata|
37 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; pardon, and you shall be pardoned;
aparañca parān doṣiṇo mā kuruta tasmād yūyaṁ doṣīkṛtā na bhaviṣyatha; adaṇḍyān mā daṇḍayata tasmād yūyamapi daṇḍaṁ na prāpsyatha; pareṣāṁ doṣān kṣamadhvaṁ tasmād yuṣmākamapi doṣāḥ kṣamiṣyante|
38 give, and gifts shall be bestowed on you. Full measure, pressed, shaken down, and running over, shall they pour into your laps; for with the same measure that you use they shall measure to you in return."
dānānidatta tasmād yūyaṁ dānāni prāpsyatha, varañca lokāḥ parimāṇapātraṁ pradalayya sañcālya proñcālya paripūryya yuṣmākaṁ kroḍeṣu samarpayiṣyanti; yūyaṁ yena parimāṇena parimātha tenaiva parimāṇena yuṣmatkṛte parimāsyate|
39 He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch?
atha sa tebhyo dṛṣṭāntakathāmakathayat, andho janaḥ kimandhaṁ panthānaṁ darśayituṁ śaknoti? tasmād ubhāvapi kiṁ gartte na patiṣyataḥ?
40 There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.
guroḥ śiṣyo na śreṣṭhaḥ kintu śiṣye siddhe sati sa gurutulyo bhavituṁ śaknoti|
41 "And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?
aparañca tvaṁ svacakṣuṣi nāsām adṛṣṭvā tava bhrātuścakṣuṣi yattṛṇamasti tadeva kutaḥ paśyami?
42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
svacakṣuṣi yā nāsā vidyate tām ajñātvā, bhrātastava netrāt tṛṇaṁ bahiḥ karomīti vākyaṁ bhrātaraṁ kathaṁ vaktuṁ śaknoṣi? he kapaṭin pūrvvaṁ svanayanāt nāsāṁ bahiḥ kuru tato bhrātuścakṣuṣastṛṇaṁ bahiḥ karttuṁ sudṛṣṭiṁ prāpsyasi|
43 "There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.
anyañca uttamastaruḥ kadāpi phalamanuttamaṁ na phalati, anuttamataruśca phalamuttamaṁ na phalati kāraṇādataḥ phalaistaravo jñāyante|
44 Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.
kaṇṭakipādapāt kopi uḍumbaraphalāni na pātayati tathā śṛgālakolivṛkṣādapi kopi drākṣāphalaṁ na pātayati|
45 A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
tadvat sādhuloko'ntaḥkaraṇarūpāt subhāṇḍāgārād uttamāni dravyāṇi bahiḥ karoti, duṣṭo lokaścāntaḥkaraṇarūpāt kubhāṇḍāgārāt kutsitāni dravyāṇi nirgamayati yato'ntaḥkaraṇānāṁ pūrṇabhāvānurūpāṇi vacāṁsi mukhānnirgacchanti|
46 "And why do you all call me 'Master, Master' and yet not do what I tell you?
aparañca mamājñānurūpaṁ nācaritvā kuto māṁ prabho prabho iti vadatha?
47 Every one who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them in practice, I will show you whom he is like.
yaḥ kaścin mama nikaṭam āgatya mama kathā niśamya tadanurūpaṁ karmma karoti sa kasya sadṛśo bhavati tadahaṁ yuṣmān jñāpayāmi|
48 He is like a man building a house, who digs and goes deep, and lays the foundation on the rock; and when a flood comes, the torrent bursts upon that house, but is unable to shake it, because it is securely built.
yo jano gabhīraṁ khanitvā pāṣāṇasthale bhittiṁ nirmmāya svagṛhaṁ racayati tena saha tasyopamā bhavati; yata āplāvijalametya tasya mūle vegena vahadapi tadgehaṁ lāḍayituṁ na śaknoti yatastasya bhittiḥ pāṣāṇopari tiṣṭhati|
49 But he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation, against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses, and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."
kintu yaḥ kaścin mama kathāḥ śrutvā tadanurūpaṁ nācarati sa bhittiṁ vinā mṛdupari gṛhanirmmātrā samāno bhavati; yata āplāvijalamāgatya vegena yadā vahati tadā tadgṛhaṁ patati tasya mahat patanaṁ jāyate|
