Luke 9
1 Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;
tataḥ paraṁ sa dvādaśaśiṣyānāhūya bhūtān tyājayituṁ rogān pratikarttuñca tebhyaḥ śaktimādhipatyañca dadau|
2 and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.
aparañca īśvarīyarājyasya susaṁvādaṁ prakāśayitum rogiṇāmārogyaṁ karttuñca preraṇakāle tān jagāda|
3 And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.
yātrārthaṁ yaṣṭi rvastrapuṭakaṁ bhakṣyaṁ mudrā dvitīyavastram, eṣāṁ kimapi mā gṛhlīta|
4 Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.
yūyañca yanniveśanaṁ praviśatha nagaratyāgaparyyanataṁ tanniveśane tiṣṭhata|
5 Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
tatra yadi kasyacit purasya lokā yuṣmākamātithyaṁ na kurvvanti tarhi tasmānnagarād gamanakāle teṣāṁ viruddhaṁ sākṣyārthaṁ yuṣmākaṁ padadhūlīḥ sampātayata|
6 So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.
atha te prasthāya sarvvatra susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ pīḍitān svasthān karttuñca grāmeṣu bhramituṁ prārebhire|
7 Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,
etarhi herod rājā yīśoḥ sarvvakarmmaṇāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā bhṛśamudvivije
8 by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.
yataḥ kecidūcuryohan śmaśānādudatiṣṭhat| kecidūcuḥ, eliyo darśanaṁ dattavān; evamanyalokā ūcuḥ pūrvvīyaḥ kaścid bhaviṣyadvādī samutthitaḥ|
9 And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.
kintu heroduvāca yohanaḥ śiro'hamachinadam idānīṁ yasyedṛkkarmmaṇāṁ vārttāṁ prāpnomi sa kaḥ? atha sa taṁ draṣṭum aicchat|
10 The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida.
anantaraṁ preritāḥ pratyāgatya yāni yāni karmmāṇi cakrustāni yīśave kathayāmāsuḥ tataḥ sa tān baitsaidānāmakanagarasya vijanaṁ sthānaṁ nītvā guptaṁ jagāma|
11 But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.
paścāl lokāstad viditvā tasya paścād yayuḥ; tataḥ sa tān nayan īśvarīyarājyasya prasaṅgamuktavān, yeṣāṁ cikitsayā prayojanam āsīt tān svasthān cakāra ca|
12 Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."
aparañca divāvasanne sati dvādaśaśiṣyā yīśorantikam etya kathayāmāsuḥ, vayamatra prāntarasthāne tiṣṭhāmaḥ, tato nagarāṇi grāmāṇi gatvā vāsasthānāni prāpya bhakṣyadravyāṇi kretuṁ jananivahaṁ bhavān visṛjatu|
13 "You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."
tadā sa uvāca, yūyameva tān bhejayadhvaṁ; tataste procurasmākaṁ nikaṭe kevalaṁ pañca pūpā dvau matsyau ca vidyante, ataeva sthānāntaram itvā nimittameteṣāṁ bhakṣyadravyeṣu na krīteṣu na bhavati|
14 (For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."
tatra prāyeṇa pañcasahasrāṇi puruṣā āsan|
15 They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.
tadā sa śiṣyān jagāda pañcāśat pañcāśajjanaiḥ paṁktīkṛtya tānupaveśayata, tasmāt te tadanusāreṇa sarvvalokānupaveśayāpāsuḥ|
16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.
tataḥ sa tān pañca pūpān mīnadvayañca gṛhītvā svargaṁ vilokyeśvaraguṇān kīrttayāñcakre bhaṅktā ca lokebhyaḥ pariveṣaṇārthaṁ śiṣyeṣu samarpayāmbabhūva|
17 So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.
tataḥ sarvve bhuktvā tṛptiṁ gatā avaśiṣṭānāñca dvādaśa ḍallakān saṁjagṛhuḥ|
18 One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
athaikadā nirjane śiṣyaiḥ saha prārthanākāle tān papraccha, lokā māṁ kaṁ vadanti?
19 "John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
tataste prācuḥ, tvāṁ yohanmajjakaṁ vadanti; kecit tvām eliyaṁ vadanti, pūrvvakālikaḥ kaścid bhaviṣyadvādī śmaśānād udatiṣṭhad ityapi kecid vadanti|
20 "But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.
tadā sa uvāca, yūyaṁ māṁ kaṁ vadatha? tataḥ pitara uktavān tvam īśvarābhiṣiktaḥ puruṣaḥ|
21 And Jesus strictly forbad them to tell this to any one;
tadā sa tān dṛḍhamādideśa, kathāmetāṁ kasmaicidapi mā kathayata|
22 and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."
sa punaruvāca, manuṣyaputreṇa vahuyātanā bhoktavyāḥ prācīnalokaiḥ pradhānayājakairadhyāpakaiśca sovajñāya hantavyaḥ kintu tṛtīyadivase śmaśānāt tenotthātavyam|
23 And He said to all, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.
aparaṁ sa sarvvānuvāca, kaścid yadi mama paścād gantuṁ vāñchati tarhi sa svaṁ dāmyatu, dine dine kruśaṁ gṛhītvā ca mama paścādāgacchatu|
24 For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
yato yaḥ kaścit svaprāṇān rirakṣiṣati sa tān hārayiṣyati, yaḥ kaścin madarthaṁ prāṇān hārayiṣyati sa tān rakṣiṣyati|
25 Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own self.
kaścid yadi sarvvaṁ jagat prāpnoti kintu svaprāṇān hārayati svayaṁ vinaśyati ca tarhi tasya ko lābhaḥ?
26 For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.
puna ryaḥ kaścin māṁ mama vākyaṁ vā lajjāspadaṁ jānāti manuṣyaputro yadā svasya pituśca pavitrāṇāṁ dūtānāñca tejobhiḥ pariveṣṭita āgamiṣyati tadā sopi taṁ lajjāspadaṁ jñāsyati|
27 I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
kintu yuṣmānahaṁ yathārthaṁ vadāmi, īśvarīyarājatvaṁ na dṛṣṭavā mṛtyuṁ nāsvādiṣyante, etādṛśāḥ kiyanto lokā atra sthane'pi daṇḍāyamānāḥ santi|
28 It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
etadākhyānakathanāt paraṁ prāyeṇāṣṭasu dineṣu gateṣu sa pitaraṁ yohanaṁ yākūbañca gṛhītvā prārthayituṁ parvvatamekaṁ samāruroha|
29 And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
atha tasya prārthanakāle tasya mukhākṛtiranyarūpā jātā, tadīyaṁ vastramujjvalaśuklaṁ jātaṁ|
30 And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
aparañca mūsā eliyaścobhau tejasvinau dṛṣṭau
31 They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.
tau tena yirūśālampure yo mṛtyuḥ sādhiṣyate tadīyāṁ kathāṁ tena sārddhaṁ kathayitum ārebhāte|
32 Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
tadā pitarādayaḥ svasya saṅgino nidrayākṛṣṭā āsan kintu jāgaritvā tasya tejastena sārddham uttiṣṭhantau janau ca dadṛśuḥ|
33 And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.
atha tayorubhayo rgamanakāle pitaro yīśuṁ babhāṣe, he guro'smākaṁ sthāne'smin sthitiḥ śubhā, tata ekā tvadarthā, ekā mūsārthā, ekā eliyārthā, iti tisraḥ kuṭyosmābhi rnirmmīyantāṁ, imāṁ kathāṁ sa na vivicya kathayāmāsa|
34 But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.
aparañca tadvākyavadanakāle payoda eka āgatya teṣāmupari chāyāṁ cakāra, tatastanmadhye tayoḥ praveśāt te śaśaṅkire|
35 Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him."
tadā tasmāt payodād iyamākāśīyā vāṇī nirjagāma, mamāyaṁ priyaḥ putra etasya kathāyāṁ mano nidhatta|
36 After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.
iti śabde jāte te yīśumekākinaṁ dadṛśuḥ kintu te tadānīṁ tasya darśanasya vācamekāmapi noktvā manaḥsu sthāpayāmāsuḥ|
37 On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;
pare'hani teṣu tasmācchailād avarūḍheṣu taṁ sākṣāt karttuṁ bahavo lokā ājagmuḥ|
38 and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child.
teṣāṁ madhyād eko jana uccairuvāca, he guro ahaṁ vinayaṁ karomi mama putraṁ prati kṛpādṛṣṭiṁ karotu, mama sa evaikaḥ putraḥ|
39 At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.
bhūtena dhṛtaḥ san saṁ prasabhaṁ cīcchabdaṁ karoti tanmukhāt pheṇā nirgacchanti ca, bhūta itthaṁ vidāryya kliṣṭvā prāyaśastaṁ na tyajati|
40 I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not."
tasmāt taṁ bhūtaṁ tyājayituṁ tava śiṣyasamīpe nyavedayaṁ kintu te na śekuḥ|
41 "O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me."
tadā yīśuravādīt, re āviśvāsin vipathagāmin vaṁśa katikālān yuṣmābhiḥ saha sthāsyāmyahaṁ yuṣmākam ācaraṇāni ca sahiṣye? tava putramihānaya|
42 Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.
tatastasminnāgatamātre bhūtastaṁ bhūmau pātayitvā vidadāra; tadā yīśustamamedhyaṁ bhūtaṁ tarjayitvā bālakaṁ svasthaṁ kṛtvā tasya pitari samarpayāmāsa|
43 And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,
īśvarasya mahāśaktim imāṁ vilokya sarvve camaccakruḥ; itthaṁ yīśoḥ sarvvābhiḥ kriyābhiḥ sarvvairlokairāścaryye manyamāne sati sa śiṣyān babhāṣe,
44 "As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men."
katheyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ karṇeṣu praviśatu, manuṣyaputro manuṣyāṇāṁ kareṣu samarpayiṣyate|
45 But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
kintu te tāṁ kathāṁ na bubudhire, spaṣṭatvābhāvāt tasyā abhiprāyasteṣāṁ bodhagamyo na babhūva; tasyā āśayaḥ ka ityapi te bhayāt praṣṭuṁ na śekuḥ|
46 Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
tadanantaraṁ teṣāṁ madhye kaḥ śreṣṭhaḥ kathāmetāṁ gṛhītvā te mitho vivādaṁ cakruḥ|
47 And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side
tato yīśusteṣāṁ manobhiprāyaṁ viditvā bālakamekaṁ gṛhītvā svasya nikaṭe sthāpayitvā tān jagāda,
48 and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
yo jano mama nāmnāsya bālāsyātithyaṁ vidadhāti sa mamātithyaṁ vidadhāti, yaśca mamātithyaṁ vidadhāti sa mama prerakasyātithyaṁ vidadhāti, yuṣmākaṁ madhyeyaḥ svaṁ sarvvasmāt kṣudraṁ jānīte sa eva śreṣṭho bhaviṣyati|
49 "Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."
aparañca yohan vyājahāra he prabhe tava nāmnā bhūtān tyājayantaṁ mānuṣam ekaṁ dṛṣṭavanto vayaṁ, kintvasmākam apaścād gāmitvāt taṁ nyaṣedhām| tadānīṁ yīśuruvāca,
50 "Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
taṁ mā niṣedhata, yato yo janosmākaṁ na vipakṣaḥ sa evāsmākaṁ sapakṣo bhavati|
51 Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
anantaraṁ tasyārohaṇasamaya upasthite sa sthiracetā yirūśālamaṁ prati yātrāṁ karttuṁ niścityāgre dūtān preṣayāmāsa|
52 They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
tasmāt te gatvā tasya prayojanīyadravyāṇi saṁgrahītuṁ śomiroṇīyānāṁ grāmaṁ praviviśuḥ|
53 But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to Jerusalem.
kintu sa yirūśālamaṁ nagaraṁ yāti tato heto rlokāstasyātithyaṁ na cakruḥ|
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"
ataeva yākūbyohanau tasya śiṣyau tad dṛṣṭvā jagadatuḥ, he prabho eliyo yathā cakāra tathā vayamapi kiṁ gagaṇād āgantum etān bhasmīkarttuñca vahnimājñāpayāmaḥ? bhavān kimicchati?
55 But He turned and rebuked them.
kintu sa mukhaṁ parāvartya tān tarjayitvā gaditavān yuṣmākaṁ manobhāvaḥ kaḥ, iti yūyaṁ na jānītha|
56 And they went to another village.
manujasuto manujānāṁ prāṇān nāśayituṁ nāgacchat, kintu rakṣitum āgacchat| paścād itaragrāmaṁ te yayuḥ|
57 And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, "I will follow you wherever you go."
tadanantaraṁ pathi gamanakāle jana ekastaṁ babhāṣe, he prabho bhavān yatra yāti bhavatā sahāhamapi tatra yāsyāmi|
58 "The foxes have holes," said Jesus, "and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
tadānīṁ yīśustamuvāca, gomāyūnāṁ garttā āsate, vihāyasīyavihagānāṁ nīḍāni ca santi, kintu mānavatanayasya śiraḥ sthāpayituṁ sthānaṁ nāsti|
59 "Follow me," He said to another. "Master," the man replied, "allow me first to go and bury my father."
tataḥ paraṁ sa itarajanaṁ jagāda, tvaṁ mama paścād ehi; tataḥ sa uvāca, he prabho pūrvvaṁ pitaraṁ śmaśāne sthāpayituṁ māmādiśatu|
60 "Leave the dead," Jesus rejoined, "to bury their own dead; but you must go and announce far and wide the coming of the Kingdom of God."
tadā yīśuruvāca, mṛtā mṛtān śmaśāne sthāpayantu kintu tvaṁ gatveśvarīyarājyasya kathāṁ pracāraya|
61 "Master," said yet another, "I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home."
tatonyaḥ kathayāmāsa, he prabho mayāpi bhavataḥ paścād gaṁsyate, kintu pūrvvaṁ mama niveśanasya parijanānām anumatiṁ grahītum ahamādiśyai bhavatā|
62 Jesus answered him, "No one who has put his hand to the plough, and then looks behind him, is fit for the Kingdom of God.
tadānīṁ yīśustaṁ proktavān, yo jano lāṅgale karamarpayitvā paścāt paśyati sa īśvarīyarājyaṁ nārhati|
