lUkaH 17

1 itaH paraM yIzuH ziSyAn uvAca, vighnairavazyam AgantavyaM kintu vighnA yEna ghaTiSyantE tasya durgati rbhaviSyati|

Then He said to the disciples: “Things that cause people to fall are bound to come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

2 EtESAM kSudraprANinAm EkasyApi vighnajananAt kaNThabaddhapESaNIkasya tasya sAgarAgAdhajalE majjanaM bhadraM|

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall.

3 yUyaM svESu sAvadhAnAstiSThata; tava bhrAtA yadi tava kinjcid aparAdhyati tarhi taM tarjaya, tEna yadi manaH parivarttayati tarhi taM kSamasva|

Watch out for yourselves: if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4 punarEkadinamadhyE yadi sa tava saptakRtvO'parAdhyati kintu saptakRtva Agatya manaH parivartya mayAparAddham iti vadati tarhi taM kSamasva|

Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in that day returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

5 tadA prEritAH prabhum avadan asmAkaM vizvAsaM varddhaya|

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

6 prabhuruvAca, yadi yuSmAkaM sarSapaikapramANO vizvAsOsti tarhi tvaM samUlamutpATitO bhUtvA samudrE rOpitO bhava kathAyAm EtasyAm EtaduPumbarAya kathitAyAM sa yuSmAkamAjnjAvahO bhaviSyati|

So the Lord said: “If you had faith like a mustard seed has, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

7 aparaM svadAsE halaM vAhayitvA vA pazUn cArayitvA kSEtrAd AgatE sati taM vadati, Ehi bhOktumupaviza, yuSmAkam EtAdRzaH kOsti?

“And which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline to eat’?

8 varanjca pUrvvaM mama khAdyamAsAdya yAvad bhunjjE pivAmi ca tAvad baddhakaTiH paricara pazcAt tvamapi bhOkSyasE pAsyasi ca kathAmIdRzIM kiM na vakSyati?

Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to eat, and gird yourself and serve me until I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?

9 tEna dAsEna prabhOrAjnjAnurUpE karmmaNi kRtE prabhuH kiM tasmin bAdhitO jAtaH? nEtthaM budhyatE mayA|

Does he thank that slave because he did the things commanded? I guess not!

10 itthaM nirUpitESu sarvvakarmmasu kRtESu satmu yUyamapIdaM vAkyaM vadatha, vayam anupakAriNO dAsA asmAbhiryadyatkarttavyaM tanmAtramEva kRtaM|

So likewise you, whenever you have done everything you were told to do, say, ‘We are unworthy slaves, because we have only done what we were supposed to.’”

11 sa yirUzAlami yAtrAM kurvvan zOmirONgAlIlpradEzamadhyEna gacchati,

Now as He was traveling toward Jerusalem, He went along between Samaria and Galilee.

12 Etarhi kutracid grAmE pravEzamAtrE dazakuSThinastaM sAkSAt kRtvA

And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him—being lepers they stood at a distance.

13 dUrE tiSThanata uccai rvaktumArEbhirE, hE prabhO yIzO dayasvAsmAn|

They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 tataH sa tAn dRSTvA jagAda, yUyaM yAjakAnAM samIpE svAn darzayata, tatastE gacchantO rOgAt pariSkRtAH|

And paying attention He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” It happened that as they went they were cleansed!

15 tadA tESAmEkaH svaM svasthaM dRSTvA prOccairIzvaraM dhanyaM vadan vyAghuTyAyAtO yIzO rguNAnanuvadan taccaraNAdhObhUmau papAta;

Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;

16 sa cAsIt zOmirONI|

then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!

17 tadA yIzuravadat, dazajanAH kiM na pariSkRtAH? tahyanyE navajanAH kutra?

So Jesus reacted by saying: “Were not all ten cleansed? So where are the nine?

18 IzvaraM dhanyaM vadantam EnaM vidEzinaM vinA kOpyanyO na prApyata|

None were found to return and give glory to God except this foreigner!”

19 tadA sa tamuvAca, tvamutthAya yAhi vizvAsastE tvAM svasthaM kRtavAn|

Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”

20 atha kadEzvarasya rAjatvaM bhaviSyatIti phirUzibhiH pRSTE sa pratyuvAca, Izvarasya rAjatvam aizvaryyadarzanEna na bhaviSyati|

Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said: “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;

21 ata Etasmin pazya tasmin vA pazya, iti vAkyaM lOkA vaktuM na zakSyanti, Izvarasya rAjatvaM yuSmAkam antarEvAstE|

nor will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ because indeed the Kingdom of God is within you.”

22 tataH sa ziSyAn jagAda, yadA yuSmAbhi rmanujasutasya dinamEkaM draSTum vAnjchiSyatE kintu na darziSyatE, IdRkkAla AyAti|

Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of the Man, and you will not see it.

23 tadAtra pazya vA tatra pazyEti vAkyaM lOkA vakSyanti, kintu tESAM pazcAt mA yAta, mAnugacchata ca|

And they will say to you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Do not go along or follow.

24 yatastaPid yathAkAzaikadizyudiya tadanyAmapi dizaM vyApya prakAzatE tadvat nijadinE manujasUnuH prakAziSyatE|

Because just like the lightning that lights the whole sky when it flashes, so also will the Son of the Man be in His day.

25 kintu tatpUrvvaM tEnAnEkAni duHkhAni bhOktavyAnyEtadvarttamAnalOkaizca sO'vajnjAtavyaH|

But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

26 nOhasya vidyamAnakAlE yathAbhavat manuSyasUnOH kAlEpi tathA bhaviSyati|

Also, just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of the Man.

27 yAvatkAlaM nOhO mahApOtaM nArOhad AplAvivAryyEtya sarvvaM nAnAzayacca tAvatkAlaM yathA lOkA abhunjjatApivan vyavahan vyavAhayaMzca;

They were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28 itthaM lOTO varttamAnakAlEpi yathA lOkA bhOjanapAnakrayavikrayarOpaNagRhanirmmANakarmmasu prAvarttanta,

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—

29 kintu yadA lOT sidOmO nirjagAma tadA nabhasaH sagandhakAgnivRSTi rbhUtvA sarvvaM vyanAzayat

but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

30 tadvan mAnavaputraprakAzadinEpi bhaviSyati|

Even so will it be in the day when the Son of the Man is revealed.

31 tadA yadi kazcid gRhOpari tiSThati tarhi sa gRhamadhyAt kimapi dravyamAnEtum avaruhya naitu; yazca kSEtrE tiSThati sOpi vyAghuTya nAyAtu|

“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to get them; and likewise he who is in the field, let him not turn back.

32 lOTaH patnIM smarata|

Remember Lot's wife!

33 yaH prANAn rakSituM cESTiSyatE sa prANAn hArayiSyati yastu prANAn hArayiSyati saEva prANAn rakSiSyati|

Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever ‘wastes’ it will preserve it.

34 yuSmAnahaM vacmi tasyAM rAtrau zayyaikagatayO rlOkayOrEkO dhAriSyatE parastyakSyatE|

I tell you: on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.

35 striyau yugapat pESaNIM vyAvarttayiSyatastayOrEkA dhAriSyatE parAtyakSyatE|

Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken and the other left.”

36 puruSau kSEtrE sthAsyatastayOrEkO dhAriSyatE parastyakSyatE|

37 tadA tE papracchuH, hE prabhO kutrEtthaM bhaviSyati? tataH sa uvAca, yatra zavastiSThati tatra gRdhrA milanti|

They reacted by saying to Him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where there is a carcass, there will the vultures also be gathered.”
