Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
aparanjca lOkairaklAntai rnirantaraM prArthayitavyam ityAzayEna yIzunA dRSTAnta EkaH kathitaH|
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
kutracinnagarE kazcit prAPvivAka AsIt sa IzvarAnnAbibhEt mAnuSAMzca nAmanyata|
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
atha tatpuravAsinI kAcidvidhavA tatsamIpamEtya vivAdinA saha mama vivAdaM pariSkurvviti nivEdayAmAsa|
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
tataH sa prAPvivAkaH kiyaddinAni na tadaggIkRtavAn pazcAccittE cintayAmAsa, yadyapIzvarAnna bibhEmi manuSyAnapi na manyE
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
tathApyESA vidhavA mAM kliznAti tasmAdasyA vivAdaM pariSkariSyAmi nOcEt sA sadAgatya mAM vyagraM kariSyati|
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
pazcAt prabhuravadad asAvanyAyaprAPvivAkO yadAha tatra manO nidhadhvaM|
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Izvarasya yE 'bhirucitalOkA divAnizaM prArthayantE sa bahudinAni vilambyApi tESAM vivAdAn kiM na pariSkariSyati?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
yuSmAnahaM vadAmi tvarayA pariSkariSyati, kintu yadA manuSyaputra AgamiSyati tadA pRthivyAM kimIdRzaM vizvAsaM prApsyati?
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
yE svAn dhArmmikAn jnjAtvA parAn tucchIkurvvanti EtAdRgbhyaH, kiyadbhya imaM dRSTAntaM kathayAmAsa|
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
EkaH phirUzyaparaH karasanjcAyI dvAvimau prArthayituM mandiraM gatau|
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
tatO'sau phirUzyEkapArzvE tiSThan hE Izvara ahamanyalOkavat lOThayitAnyAyI pAradArikazca na bhavAmi asya karasanjcAyinastulyazca na, tasmAttvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
saptasu dinESu dinadvayamupavasAmi sarvvasampattE rdazamAMzaM dadAmi ca, EtatkathAM kathayan prArthayAmAsa|
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
kintu sa karasanjcAyi dUrE tiSThan svargaM draSTuM nEcchan vakSasi karAghAtaM kurvvan hE Izvara pApiSThaM mAM dayasva, itthaM prArthayAmAsa|
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

16 Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
kintu yIzustAnAhUya jagAda, mannikaTam AgantuM zizUn anujAnIdhvaM tAMzca mA vArayata; yata IzvararAjyAdhikAriNa ESAM sadRzAH|
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
aparam EkOdhipatistaM papraccha, hE paramagurO, anantAyuSaH prAptayE mayA kiM karttavyaM? (aiōnios g166)
19 Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
yIzuruvAca, mAM kutaH paramaM vadasi? IzvaraM vinA kOpi paramO na bhavati|
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
paradArAn mA gaccha, naraM mA jahi, mA cOraya, mithyAsAkSyaM mA dEhi, mAtaraM pitaranjca saMmanyasva, EtA yA AjnjAH santi tAstvaM jAnAsi|
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
tadA sa uvAca, bAlyakAlAt sarvvA EtA AcarAmi|
22 When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
kintvEtAM kathAM zrutvA sOdhipatiH zuzOca, yatastasya bahudhanamAsIt|
24 Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
tadA yIzustamatizOkAnvitaM dRSTvA jagAda, dhanavatAm IzvararAjyapravEzaH kIdRg duSkaraH|
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
IzvararAjyE dhaninaH pravEzAt sUcEzchidrENa mahAggasya gamanAgamanE sukarE|
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
zrOtAraH papracchustarhi kEna paritrANaM prApsyatE?
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”

28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
tadA pitara uvAca, pazya vayaM sarvvasvaM parityajya tava pazcAdgAminO'bhavAma|
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,

31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.

32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.

33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”

34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.

36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.

37 They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
nAsaratIyayIzuryAtIti lOkairuktE sa uccairvaktumArEbhE,
38 He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
hE dAyUdaH santAna yIzO mAM dayasva|
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

40 Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
tadA yIzuH sthagitO bhUtvA svAntikE tamAnEtum AdidEza|
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”

42 Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”

43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
