Luke 7
1 After He had finished teaching all these things in the hearing of the people, He went into Capernaum.
tataḥ paraṁ sa lokānāṁ karṇagocare tān sarvvān upadeśān samāpya yadā kapharnāhūmpuraṁ praviśati
2 Here the servant of a certain Captain, a man dear to his master, was ill and at the point of death;
tadā śatasenāpateḥ priyadāsa eko mṛtakalpaḥ pīḍita āsīt|
3 and the Captain, hearing about Jesus, sent to Him some of the Jewish Elders, begging Him to come and restore his servant to health.
ataḥ senāpati ryīśo rvārttāṁ niśamya dāsasyārogyakaraṇāya tasyāgamanārthaṁ vinayakaraṇāya yihūdīyān kiyataḥ prācaḥ preṣayāmāsa|
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, earnestly entreated Him, pleading, "He deserves to have this favour granted him,
te yīśorantikaṁ gatvā vinayātiśayaṁ vaktumārebhire, sa senāpati rbhavatonugrahaṁ prāptum arhati|
5 for he loves our nation, and at his own expense he built our synagogue for us."
yataḥ sosmajjātīyeṣu lokeṣu prīyate tathāsmatkṛte bhajanagehaṁ nirmmitavān|
6 Then Jesus went with them. But when He was not far from the house, the Captain sent friends to Him with the message: "Sir, do not trouble to come. I am not worthy of having you come under my roof;
tasmād yīśustaiḥ saha gatvā niveśanasya samīpaṁ prāpa, tadā sa śatasenāpati rvakṣyamāṇavākyaṁ taṁ vaktuṁ bandhūn prāhiṇot| he prabho svayaṁ śramo na karttavyo yad bhavatā madgehamadhye pādārpaṇaṁ kriyeta tadapyahaṁ nārhāmi,
7 and therefore I did not deem myself worthy to come to you. Only speak the word, and let my young man be cured.
kiñcāhaṁ bhavatsamīpaṁ yātumapi nātmānaṁ yogyaṁ buddhavān, tato bhavān vākyamātraṁ vadatu tenaiva mama dāsaḥ svastho bhaviṣyati|
8 For I too am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this or that,' and he does it."
yasmād ahaṁ parādhīnopi mamādhīnā yāḥ senāḥ santi tāsām ekajanaṁ prati yāhīti mayā prokte sa yāti; tadanyaṁ prati āyāhīti prokte sa āyāti; tathā nijadāsaṁ prati etat kurvviti prokte sa tadeva karoti|
9 Jesus listened to the Captain's message and was astonished at him, and He turned and said to the crowd that followed Him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."
yīśuridaṁ vākyaṁ śrutvā vismayaṁ yayau, mukhaṁ parāvartya paścādvarttino lokān babhāṣe ca, yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi isrāyelo vaṁśamadhyepi viśvāsamīdṛśaṁ na prāpnavaṁ|
10 And the friends who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the servant in perfect health.
tataste preṣitā gṛhaṁ gatvā taṁ pīḍitaṁ dāsaṁ svasthaṁ dadṛśuḥ|
11 Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.
pare'hani sa nāyīnākhyaṁ nagaraṁ jagāma tasyāneke śiṣyā anye ca lokāstena sārddhaṁ yayuḥ|
12 And just as He reached the gate of the town, they happened to be bringing out for burial a dead man who was his mother's only son; and she was a widow; and a great number of the townspeople were with her.
teṣu tannagarasya dvārasannidhiṁ prāpteṣu kiyanto lokā ekaṁ mṛtamanujaṁ vahanto nagarasya bahiryānti, sa tanmāturekaputrastanmātā ca vidhavā; tayā sārddhaṁ tannagarīyā bahavo lokā āsan|
13 The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
prabhustāṁ vilokya sānukampaḥ kathayāmāsa, mā rodīḥ| sa samīpamitvā khaṭvāṁ pasparśa tasmād vāhakāḥ sthagitāstamyuḥ;
14 Then He went close and touched the bier, and the bearers halted. "Young man," He said, "I command you, wake!"
tadā sa uvāca he yuvamanuṣya tvamuttiṣṭha, tvāmaham ājñāpayāmi|
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him to his mother.
tasmāt sa mṛto janastatkṣaṇamutthāya kathāṁ prakathitaḥ; tato yīśustasya mātari taṁ samarpayāmāsa|
16 All were awe-struck, and they gave glory to God--some saying, "A Prophet, a great Prophet, has risen up among us." Others said, "God has not forgotten His People."
tasmāt sarvve lokāḥ śaśaṅkire; eko mahābhaviṣyadvādī madhye'smākam samudait, īśvaraśca svalokānanvagṛhlāt kathāmimāṁ kathayitvā īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ jagaduḥ|
17 And the report of what Jesus had done spread through the whole of Judaea and in all the surrounding districts.
tataḥ paraṁ samastaṁ yihūdādeśaṁ tasya caturdiksthadeśañca tasyaitatkīrtti rvyānaśe|
18 John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;
tataḥ paraṁ yohanaḥ śiṣyeṣu taṁ tadvṛttāntaṁ jñāpitavatsu
19 so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. "Are you the Coming One?" he asked, "or is there another that we are to expect?"
sa svaśiṣyāṇāṁ dvau janāvāhūya yīśuṁ prati vakṣyamāṇaṁ vākyaṁ vaktuṁ preṣayāmāsa, yasyāgamanam apekṣya tiṣṭhāmo vayaṁ kiṁ sa eva janastvaṁ? kiṁ vayamanyamapekṣya sthāsyāmaḥ?
20 The men came to Jesus and said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you with this question: 'Are you the Coming One, or is there another that we are to expect?'"
paścāttau mānavau gatvā kathayāmāsatuḥ, yasyāgamanam apekṣya tiṣṭhāmo vayaṁ, kiṁ saeva janastvaṁ? kiṁ vayamanyamapekṣya sthāsyāmaḥ? kathāmimāṁ tubhyaṁ kathayituṁ yohan majjaka āvāṁ preṣitavān|
21 He immediately cured many of diseases, severe pain, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind He gave the gift of sight.
tasmin daṇḍe yīśūrogiṇo mahāvyādhimato duṣṭabhūtagrastāṁśca bahūn svasthān kṛtvā, anekāndhebhyaścakṣuṁṣi dattvā pratyuvāca,
22 Then He answered the messengers, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind men receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are purified, deaf persons hear, the dead are raised to life, the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them.
yuvāṁ vrajatam andhā netrāṇi khañjāścaraṇāni ca prāpnuvanti, kuṣṭhinaḥ pariṣkriyante, badhirāḥ śravaṇāni mṛtāśca jīvanāni prāpnuvanti, daridrāṇāṁ samīpeṣu susaṁvādaḥ pracāryyate, yaṁ prati vighnasvarūpohaṁ na bhavāmi sa dhanyaḥ,
23 And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
etāni yāni paśyathaḥ śṛṇuthaśca tāni yohanaṁ jñāpayatam|
24 When John's messengers were gone, He proceeded to say to the multitude concerning John, "What did you go out into the Desert to gaze at? A reed waving in the wind?
tayo rdūtayo rgatayoḥ sato ryohani sa lokān vaktumupacakrame, yūyaṁ madhyeprāntaraṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ niragamata? kiṁ vāyunā kampitaṁ naḍaṁ?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man wearing luxurious clothes? People who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are found in palaces.
yūyaṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ niragamata? kiṁ sūkṣmavastraparidhāyinaṁ kamapi naraṁ? kintu ye sūkṣmamṛduvastrāṇi paridadhati sūttamāni dravyāṇi bhuñjate ca te rājadhānīṣu tiṣṭhanti|
26 But what did you go out to see? A Prophet? Aye, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.
tarhi yūyaṁ kiṁ draṣṭuṁ niragamata? kimekaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaṁ? tadeva satyaṁ kintu sa pumān bhaviṣyadvādinopi śreṣṭha ityahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi;
27 John is the man about whom it is written, 'See, I am sending My messenger before thy face, and he shall make ready thy way before thee.'
paśya svakīyadūtantu tavāgra preṣayāmyahaṁ| gatvā tvadīyamārgantu sa hi pariṣkariṣyati| yadarthe lipiriyam āste sa eva yohan|
28 "I tell you that among all of women born there is not one greater than John. Yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.
ato yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi striyā garbbhajātānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ madhye yohano majjakāt śreṣṭhaḥ kopi nāsti, tatrāpi īśvarasya rājye yaḥ sarvvasmāt kṣudraḥ sa yohanopi śreṣṭhaḥ|
29 And all the people, including the tax-gatherers, when they listened to him upheld the righteousness of God, by being baptized with John's baptism.
aparañca sarvve lokāḥ karamañcāyinaśca tasya vākyāni śrutvā yohanā majjanena majjitāḥ parameśvaraṁ nirdoṣaṁ menire|
30 But the Pharisees and expounders of the Law have frustrated God's purpose as to their own lives, by refusing to be baptized.
kintu phirūśino vyavasthāpakāśca tena na majjitāḥ svān pratīśvarasyopadeśaṁ niṣphalam akurvvan|
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?
atha prabhuḥ kathayāmāsa, idānīntanajanān kenopamāmi? te kasya sadṛśāḥ?
32 They are like children sitting in the public square and calling out to one another, 'We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not shown sorrow.'
ye bālakā vipaṇyām upaviśya parasparam āhūya vākyamidaṁ vadanti, vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭe vaṁśīravādiṣma, kintu yūyaṁ nānarttiṣṭa, vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭa arodiṣma, kintu yuyaṁ na vyalapiṣṭa, bālakairetādṛśaisteṣām upamā bhavati|
33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
yato yohan majjaka āgatya pūpaṁ nākhādat drākṣārasañca nāpivat tasmād yūyaṁ vadatha, bhūtagrastoyam|
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, there is a man who is overfond of eating and drinking--he is a friend of tax-gatherers and notorious sinners!'
tataḥ paraṁ mānavasuta āgatyākhādadapivañca tasmād yūyaṁ vadatha, khādakaḥ surāpaścāṇḍālapāpināṁ bandhureko jano dṛśyatām|
35 But wisdom is justified by all who are truly wise."
kintu jñānino jñānaṁ nirdoṣaṁ viduḥ|
36 Now one of the Pharisees repeatedly invited Him to a meal at his house; so He entered the house and reclined at the table.
paścādekaḥ phirūśī yīśuṁ bhojanāya nyamantrayat tataḥ sa tasya gṛhaṁ gatvā bhoktumupaviṣṭaḥ|
37 And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,
etarhi tatphirūśino gṛhe yīśu rbhektum upāvekṣīt tacchrutvā tannagaravāsinī kāpi duṣṭā nārī pāṇḍaraprastarasya sampuṭake sugandhitailam ānīya
38 and, standing behind close to His feet, weeping, began to wet His feet with her tears; and with her hair she wiped the tears away again, while she lovingly kissed His feet and poured the perfume over them.
tasya paścāt pādayoḥ sannidhau tasyau rudatī ca netrāmbubhistasya caraṇau prakṣālya nijakacairamārkṣīt, tatastasya caraṇau cumbitvā tena sugandhitailena mamarda|
39 Noticing this, the Pharisee, His host, said to himself, "This man, if he were really a Prophet, would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching him--and would know that she is an immoral woman."
tasmāt sa nimantrayitā phirūśī manasā cintayāmāsa, yadyayaṁ bhaviṣyadvādī bhavet tarhi enaṁ spṛśati yā strī sā kā kīdṛśī ceti jñātuṁ śaknuyāt yataḥ sā duṣṭā|
40 In answer to his thoughts Jesus said to him, "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.
tadā yāśustaṁ jagāda, he śimon tvāṁ prati mama kiñcid vaktavyamasti; tasmāt sa babhāṣe, he guro tad vadatu|
41 "There were once two men in debt to one money-lender," said Jesus; "one owed him five hundred shillings and the other fifty.
ekottamarṇasya dvāvadhamarṇāvāstāṁ, tayorekaḥ pañcaśatāni mudrāpādān aparaśca pañcāśat mudrāpādān dhārayāmāsa|
42 But neither of them could pay anything; so he freely forgave them both. Tell me, then, which of them will love him most?"
tadanantaraṁ tayoḥ śodhyābhāvāt sa uttamarṇastayo rṛṇe cakṣame; tasmāt tayordvayoḥ kastasmin preṣyate bahu? tad brūhi|
43 "I suppose," replied Simon, "the one to whom he forgave most." "You have judged rightly," Jesus rejoined.
śimon pratyuvāca, mayā budhyate yasyādhikam ṛṇaṁ cakṣame sa iti; tato yīśustaṁ vyājahāra, tvaṁ yathārthaṁ vyacārayaḥ|
44 Then turning towards the woman He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into your house: you gave me no water for my feet; but she has made my feet wet with her tears, and then wiped the tears away with her hair.
atha tāṁ nārīṁ prati vyāghuṭhya śimonamavocat, strīmimāṁ paśyasi? tava gṛhe mayyāgate tvaṁ pādaprakṣālanārthaṁ jalaṁ nādāḥ kintu yoṣideṣā nayanajalai rmama pādau prakṣālya keśairamārkṣīt|
45 No kiss did you give me; but she from the moment I came in has not left off tenderly kissing my feet.
tvaṁ māṁ nācumbīḥ kintu yoṣideṣā svīyāgamanādārabhya madīyapādau cumbituṁ na vyaraṁsta|
46 No oil did you pour even on my head; but she has poured perfume upon my feet.
tvañca madīyottamāṅge kiñcidapi tailaṁ nāmardīḥ kintu yoṣideṣā mama caraṇau sugandhitailenāmarddīt|
47 This is the reason why I tell you that her sins, her many sins, are forgiven--because she has loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."
atastvāṁ vyāharāmi, etasyā bahu pāpamakṣamyata tato bahu prīyate kintu yasyālpapāpaṁ kṣamyate solpaṁ prīyate|
48 And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
tataḥ paraṁ sa tāṁ babhāṣe, tvadīyaṁ pāpamakṣamyata|
49 Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"
tadā tena sārddhaṁ ye bhoktum upaviviśuste parasparaṁ vaktumārebhire, ayaṁ pāpaṁ kṣamate ka eṣaḥ?
50 But He said to the woman, "Your faith has cured you: go, and be at peace."
kintu sa tāṁ nārīṁ jagāda, tava viśvāsastvāṁ paryyatrāsta tvaṁ kṣemeṇa vraja|
