लूका 18
He also taught them by a parable how they ought always to pray and never to lose heart.
"There was a certain town," he said, "a judge who had neither reverence for God, nor respect for man.
3 ३ और उसी नगर में एक विधवा भी रहती थी: जो उसके पास आ आकर कहा करती थी, ‘मेरा न्याय चुकाकर मुझे मुद्दई से बचा।’
"In that same town there was a widow who came again and again before him, saying, "‘Do for me the justice of my adversary.’
4 ४ उसने कितने समय तक तो न माना परन्तु अन्त में मन में विचार कर कहा, ‘यद्यपि मैं न परमेश्वर से डरता, और न मनुष्यों की कुछ परवाह करता हूँ;
"For a while he would not, but afterwards he said to himself, ‘Though I have neither reverence for God nor regard for man,
5 ५ फिर भी यह विधवा मुझे सताती रहती है, इसलिए मैं उसका न्याय चुकाऊँगा, कहीं ऐसा न हो कि घड़ी-घड़ी आकर अन्त को मेरी नाक में दम करे।’”
"‘yet because this woman annoys me I will give her justice, lest by her continual coming she wear me out.’
"Listen" said the Lord, "to what this unjust judge says.
7 ७ अतः क्या परमेश्वर अपने चुने हुओं का न्याय न चुकाएगा, जो रात-दिन उसकी दुहाई देते रहते; और क्या वह उनके विषय में देर करेगा?
"And will not God see justice done to his elect who are crying unto him day and night, even if he seems to delay helping them?
8 ८ मैं तुम से कहता हूँ; वह तुरन्त उनका न्याय चुकाएगा; पर मनुष्य का पुत्र जब आएगा, तो क्या वह पृथ्वी पर विश्वास पाएगा?”
"I tell you that he will quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon the earth?"
9 ९ और उसने उनसे जो अपने ऊपर भरोसा रखते थे, कि हम धर्मी हैं, और दूसरों को तुच्छ जानते थे, यह दृष्टान्त कहा:
Moreover he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves because they were righteous, and looked down upon the rest.
"Two men are going up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-gatherer.
11 ११ फरीसी खड़ा होकर अपने मन में यह प्रार्थना करने लगा, ‘हे परमेश्वर, मैं तेरा धन्यवाद करता हूँ, कि मैं और मनुष्यों के समान दुष्टता करनेवाला, अन्यायी और व्यभिचारी नहीं, और न इस चुंगी लेनेवाले के समान हूँ।
"The Pharisee stood apart and thus began to pray by himself. "‘O God, I thank thee that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax gatherer;
"‘I fast twice a week, I pay tithes of all my possessions.’
13 १३ “परन्तु चुंगी लेनेवाले ने दूर खड़े होकर, स्वर्ग की ओर आँख उठाना भी न चाहा, वरन् अपनीछाती पीट-पीट करकहा, ‘हे परमेश्वर मुझ पापी पर दया कर!’
"But the tax-gatherer, standing far back, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but kept beating his breast and saying, "‘O God be merciful to me, the sinner!’
14 १४ मैं तुम से कहता हूँ, कि वह दूसरा नहीं; परन्तु यही मनुष्यधर्मी ठहराऔर अपने घर गया; क्योंकि जो कोई अपने आपको बड़ा बनाएगा, वह छोटा किया जाएगा; और जो अपने आपको छोटा बनाएगा, वह बड़ा किया जाएगा।”
"I tell you that this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
15 १५ फिर लोग अपने बच्चों को भी उसके पास लाने लगे, कि वह उन पर हाथ रखे; और चेलों ने देखकर उन्हें डाँटा।
And they kept bringing their babies for him to touch them; but when his disciples saw it they began to rebuke them.
16 १६ यीशु ने बच्चों को पास बुलाकर कहा, “बालकों को मेरे पास आने दो, और उन्हें मना न करो: क्योंकि परमेश्वर का राज्य ऐसों ही का है।
But Jesus called for the babies. "Let the little children come to me," he said, "do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 १७ मैं तुम से सच कहता हूँ, कि जो कोई परमेश्वर के राज्य को बालक के समान ग्रहण न करेगा वह उसमें कभी प्रवेश करने न पाएगा।”
"I tell you in solemn truth that whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, he will never get into it."
18 १८ किसी सरदार ने उससे पूछा, “हे उत्तम गुरु, अनन्त जीवन का अधिकारी होने के लिये मैं क्या करूँ?” (aiōnios g166)
A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
"Why are you calling me ‘good’?"said Jesus to him; "no one is good but God.
20 २० तू आज्ञाओं को तो जानता है: ‘व्यभिचार न करना, हत्या न करना, चोरी न करना, झूठी गवाही न देना, अपने पिता और अपनी माता का आदर करना।’”
"You know the commandments. "Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother."
"All of these," he replied, "I have kept from my youth up."
22 २२ यह सुन, “यीशु ने उससे कहा, तुझ में अब भी एक बात की घटी है, अपना सब कुछ बेचकर कंगालों को बाँट दे; और तुझे स्वर्ग में धन मिलेगा, और आकर मेरे पीछे हो ले।”
And receiving this reply, Jesus said to him. "One thing you are still lacking. Sell all that you have and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me."
But when he heard these words he became deeply grieved, for he was exceedingly rich.
Jesus looked at him and said. "How hard it is for those who have money to enter into the kingdom of God!
Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"Who then can be saved?" exclaimed his hearers.
"Things that are impossible with men," he answered them, "are possible with God."
Then Peter said, "Look! we have left our homes and followed you."
29 २९ उसने उनसे कहा, “मैं तुम से सच कहता हूँ, कि ऐसा कोई नहीं जिसने परमेश्वर के राज्य के लिये घर, या पत्नी, या भाइयों, या माता-पिता, या बाल-बच्चों को छोड़ दिया हो।
And he said to them, "In Solemn truth I tell you that there is no one who, for the sake of the kingdom of God, has left houses, or wife, or brother, or parents, or children,
31 ३१ फिर उसने बारहों को साथ लेकर उनसे कहा, “हम यरूशलेम को जाते हैं, औरजितनी बातें मनुष्य के पुत्र के लिये भविष्यद्वक्ताओं के द्वारा लिखी गई हैंवे सब पूरी होंगी।
Then he took the twelve aside and told them. "See, we are on our way to Jerusalem, and all prophets regarding the son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 ३२ क्योंकि वह अन्यजातियों के हाथ में सौंपा जाएगा, और वे उसका उपहास करेंगे; और उसका अपमान करेंगे, और उस पर थूकेंगे।
"He will be betrayed to the Gentiles, and be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon;
"and they will scourge and kill him; and the third day he will rise again."
34 ३४ और उन्होंने इन बातों में से कोई बात न समझी और यह बात उनसे छिपी रही, और जो कहा गया था वह उनकी समझ में न आया।
But they understood none of these sayings. His words were a mystery to them, and they did not know what he meant.
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging.
He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was.
They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!"
39 ३९ जो आगे-आगे जा रहे थे, वे उसे डाँटने लगे कि चुप रहे परन्तु वह और भी चिल्लाने लगा, “हे दाऊद की सन्तान, मुझ पर दया कर!”
Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me!"
So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him he asked him
"What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."
"Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."
43 ४३ और वह तुरन्त देखने लगा; और परमेश्वर की बड़ाई करता हुआ, उसके पीछे हो लिया, और सब लोगों ने देखकर परमेश्वर की स्तुति की।
Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.
