Luke 7
1 After He had finished teaching all these things in the hearing of the people, He went into Capernaum.
tataḥ paraṁ sa lōkānāṁ karṇagōcarē tān sarvvān upadēśān 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 śatasēnāpatēḥ priyadāsa ēkō mr̥takalpaḥ 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 sēnāpati ryīśō rvārttāṁ niśamya dāsasyārōgyakaraṇāya tasyāgamanārthaṁ vinayakaraṇāya yihūdīyān kiyataḥ prācaḥ prēṣayāmāsa|
4 And they, when they came to Jesus, earnestly entreated Him, pleading, "He deserves to have this favour granted him,
tē yīśōrantikaṁ gatvā vinayātiśayaṁ vaktumārēbhirē, sa sēnāpati rbhavatōnugrahaṁ prāptum arhati|
5 for he loves our nation, and at his own expense he built our synagogue for us."
yataḥ sōsmajjātīyēṣu lōkēṣu prīyatē tathāsmatkr̥tē bhajanagēhaṁ 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 nivēśanasya samīpaṁ prāpa, tadā sa śatasēnāpati rvakṣyamāṇavākyaṁ taṁ vaktuṁ bandhūn prāhiṇōt| hē prabhō svayaṁ śramō na karttavyō yad bhavatā madgēhamadhyē pādārpaṇaṁ kriyēta 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 yōgyaṁ buddhavān, tatō bhavān vākyamātraṁ vadatu tēnaiva mama dāsaḥ svasthō 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 parādhīnōpi mamādhīnā yāḥ sēnāḥ santi tāsām ēkajanaṁ prati yāhīti mayā prōktē sa yāti; tadanyaṁ prati āyāhīti prōktē sa āyāti; tathā nijadāsaṁ prati ētat kurvviti prōktē sa tadēva karōti|
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 paścādvarttinō lōkān babhāṣē ca, yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi isrāyēlō vaṁśamadhyēpi viśvāsamīdr̥śaṁ na prāpnavaṁ|
10 And the friends who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the servant in perfect health.
tatastē prēṣitā gr̥haṁ gatvā taṁ pīḍitaṁ dāsaṁ svasthaṁ dadr̥śuḥ|
11 Shortly afterwards He went to a town called Nain, attended by His disciples and a great crowd of people.
parē'hani sa nāyīnākhyaṁ nagaraṁ jagāma tasyānēkē śiṣyā anyē ca lōkāstēna 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.
tēṣu tannagarasya dvārasannidhiṁ prāptēṣu kiyantō lōkā ēkaṁ mr̥tamanujaṁ vahantō nagarasya bahiryānti, sa tanmāturēkaputrastanmātā ca vidhavā; tayā sārddhaṁ tannagarīyā bahavō lōkā āsan|
13 The Lord saw her, was moved with pity for her, and said to her, "Do not weep."
prabhustāṁ vilōkya sānukampaḥ kathayāmāsa, mā rōdīḥ| 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 hē yuvamanuṣya tvamuttiṣṭha, tvāmaham ājñāpayāmi|
15 The dead man sat up and began to speak; and He restored him to his mother.
tasmāt sa mr̥tō janastatkṣaṇamutthāya kathāṁ prakathitaḥ; tatō 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 sarvvē lōkāḥ śaśaṅkirē; ēkō mahābhaviṣyadvādī madhyē'smākam samudait, īśvaraśca svalōkānanvagr̥hlāt 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 yihūdādēśaṁ tasya caturdiksthadēśañca tasyaitatkīrtti rvyānaśē|
18 John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;
tataḥ paraṁ yōhanaḥ śiṣyēṣu taṁ tadvr̥ttāntaṁ 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 prēṣayāmāsa, yasyāgamanam apēkṣya tiṣṭhāmō vayaṁ kiṁ sa ēva janastvaṁ? kiṁ vayamanyamapēkṣya 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 apēkṣya tiṣṭhāmō vayaṁ, kiṁ saēva janastvaṁ? kiṁ vayamanyamapēkṣya sthāsyāmaḥ? kathāmimāṁ tubhyaṁ kathayituṁ yōhan majjaka āvāṁ prēṣitavān|
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 daṇḍē yīśūrōgiṇō mahāvyādhimatō duṣṭabhūtagrastāṁśca bahūn svasthān kr̥tvā, anēkāndhēbhyaścakṣuṁṣi 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 nētrāṇi khañjāścaraṇāni ca prāpnuvanti, kuṣṭhinaḥ pariṣkriyantē, badhirāḥ śravaṇāni mr̥tāśca jīvanāni prāpnuvanti, daridrāṇāṁ samīpēṣu susaṁvādaḥ pracāryyatē, yaṁ prati vighnasvarūpōhaṁ na bhavāmi sa dhanyaḥ,
23 And blessed is every one who does not stumble and fall because of my claims."
ētāni yāni paśyathaḥ śr̥ṇuthaśca tāni yōhanaṁ 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?
tayō rdūtayō rgatayōḥ satō ryōhani sa lōkān vaktumupacakramē, yūyaṁ madhyēprāntaraṁ 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 yē sūkṣmamr̥duvastrāṇi paridadhati sūttamāni dravyāṇi bhuñjatē ca tē 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? kimēkaṁ bhaviṣyadvādinaṁ? tadēva satyaṁ kintu sa pumān bhaviṣyadvādinōpi śrēṣṭha 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 prēṣayāmyahaṁ| gatvā tvadīyamārgantu sa hi pariṣkariṣyati| yadarthē lipiriyam āstē sa ēva yōhan|
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.
atō yuṣmānahaṁ vadāmi striyā garbbhajātānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādināṁ madhyē yōhanō majjakāt śrēṣṭhaḥ kōpi nāsti, tatrāpi īśvarasya rājyē yaḥ sarvvasmāt kṣudraḥ sa yōhanōpi śrēṣṭhaḥ|
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 sarvvē lōkāḥ karamañcāyinaśca tasya vākyāni śrutvā yōhanā majjanēna majjitāḥ paramēśvaraṁ nirdōṣaṁ mēnirē|
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 phirūśinō vyavasthāpakāśca tēna na majjitāḥ svān pratīśvarasyōpadēśaṁ niṣphalam akurvvan|
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of the present generation, and what do they resemble?
atha prabhuḥ kathayāmāsa, idānīntanajanān kēnōpamāmi? tē kasya sadr̥śāḥ?
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.'
yē bālakā vipaṇyām upaviśya parasparam āhūya vākyamidaṁ vadanti, vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭē vaṁśīravādiṣma, kintu yūyaṁ nānarttiṣṭa, vayaṁ yuṣmākaṁ nikaṭa arōdiṣma, kintu yuyaṁ na vyalapiṣṭa, bālakairētādr̥śaistēṣām upamā bhavati|
33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
yatō yōhan majjaka āgatya pūpaṁ nākhādat drākṣārasañca nāpivat tasmād yūyaṁ vadatha, bhūtagrastōyam|
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 bandhurēkō janō dr̥śyatām|
35 But wisdom is justified by all who are truly wise."
kintu jñāninō jñānaṁ nirdōṣaṁ 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.
paścādēkaḥ phirūśī yīśuṁ bhōjanāya nyamantrayat tataḥ sa tasya gr̥haṁ gatvā bhōktumupaviṣṭaḥ|
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,
ētarhi tatphirūśinō gr̥hē yīśu rbhēktum upāvēkṣīt tacchrutvā tannagaravāsinī kāpi duṣṭā nārī pāṇḍaraprastarasya sampuṭakē 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 pādayōḥ sannidhau tasyau rudatī ca nētrāmbubhistasya caraṇau prakṣālya nijakacairamārkṣīt, tatastasya caraṇau cumbitvā tēna sugandhitailēna 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 bhavēt tarhi ēnaṁ spr̥śati yā strī sā kā kīdr̥śī cēti 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, hē śimōn tvāṁ prati mama kiñcid vaktavyamasti; tasmāt sa babhāṣē, hē gurō 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.
ēkōttamarṇasya dvāvadhamarṇāvāstāṁ, tayōrēkaḥ 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 tayōḥ śōdhyābhāvāt sa uttamarṇastayō rr̥ṇē cakṣamē; tasmāt tayōrdvayōḥ kastasmin prēṣyatē bahu? tad brūhi|
43 "I suppose," replied Simon, "the one to whom he forgave most." "You have judged rightly," Jesus rejoined.
śimōn pratyuvāca, mayā budhyatē yasyādhikam r̥ṇaṁ cakṣamē sa iti; tatō 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 śimōnamavōcat, strīmimāṁ paśyasi? tava gr̥hē mayyāgatē tvaṁ pādaprakṣālanārthaṁ jalaṁ nādāḥ kintu yōṣidēṣā nayanajalai rmama pādau prakṣālya kēśairamārkṣīt|
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 yōṣidēṣā svīyāgamanādārabhya madīyapādau cumbituṁ na vyaraṁsta|
46 No oil did you pour even on my head; but she has poured perfume upon my feet.
tvañca madīyōttamāṅgē kiñcidapi tailaṁ nāmardīḥ kintu yōṣidēṣā mama caraṇau sugandhitailēnāmarddīt|
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, ētasyā bahu pāpamakṣamyata tatō bahu prīyatē kintu yasyālpapāpaṁ kṣamyatē sōlpaṁ prīyatē|
48 And He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
tataḥ paraṁ sa tāṁ babhāṣē, tvadīyaṁ pāpamakṣamyata|
49 Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"
tadā tēna sārddhaṁ yē bhōktum upaviviśustē parasparaṁ vaktumārēbhirē, ayaṁ pāpaṁ kṣamatē ka ēṣaḥ?
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 kṣēmēṇa vraja|
