Luke 12 (SANDEV)

1तदानीं लोकाः सहस्रं सहस्रम् आगत्य समुपस्थितास्तत एकैको ऽन्येषामुपरि पतितुम् उपचक्रमे; तदा यीशुः शिष्यान् बभाषे, यूयं फिरूशिनां किण्वरूपकापट्ये विशेषेण सावधानास्तिष्ठत।In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2यतो यन्न प्रकाशयिष्यते तदाच्छन्नं वस्तु किमपि नास्ति; तथा यन्न ज्ञास्यते तद् गुप्तं वस्तु किमपि नास्ति।There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3अन्धकारे तिष्ठनतो याः कथा अकथयत ताः सर्व्वाः कथा दीप्तौ श्रोष्यन्ते निर्जने कर्णे च यदकथयत गृहपृष्ठात् तत् प्रचारयिष्यते।What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4हे बन्धवो युष्मानहं वदामि, ये शरीरस्य नाशं विना किमप्यपरं कर्त्तुं न शक्रुवन्ति तेभ्यो मा भैष्ट।I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5तर्हि कस्माद् भेतव्यम् इत्यहं वदामि, यः शरीरं नाशयित्वा नरकं निक्षेप्तुं शक्नोति तस्मादेव भयं कुरुत, पुनरपि वदामि तस्मादेव भयं कुरुत।But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6पञ्च चटकपक्षिणः किं द्वाभ्यां ताम्रखण्डाभ्यां न विक्रीयन्ते? तथापीश्वरस्तेषाम् एकमपि न विस्मरति।Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7युष्माकं शिरःकेशा अपि गणिताः सन्ति तस्मात् मा विभीत बहुचटकपक्षिभ्योपि यूयं बहुमूल्याः।And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8अपरं युष्मभ्यं कथयामि यः कश्चिन् मानुषाणां साक्षान् मां स्वीकरोति मनुष्यपुत्र ईश्वरदूतानां साक्षात् तं स्वीकरिष्यति।I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

9किन्तु यः कश्चिन्मानुषाणां साक्षान्माम् अस्वीकरोति तम् ईश्वरस्य दूतानां साक्षाद् अहम् अस्वीकरिष्यामि।But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10अन्यच्च यः कश्चिन् मनुजसुतस्य निन्दाभावेन काञ्चित् कथां कथयति तस्य तत्पापस्य मोचनं भविष्यति किन्तु यदि कश्चित् पवित्रम् आत्मानं निन्दति तर्हि तस्य तत्पापस्य मोचनं न भविष्यति।And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11यदा लोका युष्मान् भजनगेहं विचारकर्तृराज्यकर्तृणां सम्मुखञ्च नेष्यन्ति तदा केन प्रकारेण किमुत्तरं वदिष्यथ किं कथयिष्यथ चेत्यत्र मा चिन्तयत;When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.

12यतो युष्माभिर्यद् यद् वक्तव्यं तत् तस्मिन् समयएव पवित्र आत्मा युष्मान् शिक्षयिष्यति।For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”

13ततः परं जनतामध्यस्थः कश्चिज्जनस्तं जगाद हे गुरो मया सह पैतृकं धनं विभक्तुं मम भ्रातरमाज्ञापयतु भवान्।Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14किन्तु स तमवदत् हे मनुष्य युवयो र्विचारं विभागञ्च कर्त्तुं मां को नियुक्तवान्?But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”

15अनन्तरं स लोकानवदत् लोभे सावधानाः सतर्काश्च तिष्ठत, यतो बहुसम्पत्तिप्राप्त्या मनुष्यस्यायु र्न भवति।And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

16पश्चाद् दृष्टान्तकथामुत्थाप्य कथयामास, एकस्य धनिनो भूमौ बहूनि शस्यानि जातानि।Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.

17ततः स मनसा चिन्तयित्वा कथयाम्बभूव ममैतानि समुत्पन्नानि द्रव्याणि स्थापयितुं स्थानं नास्ति किं करिष्यामि?So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’

18ततोवदद् इत्थं करिष्यामि, मम सर्व्वभाण्डागाराणि भङ्क्त्वा बृहद्भाण्डागाराणि निर्म्माय तन्मध्ये सर्व्वफलानि द्रव्याणि च स्थापयिष्यामि।Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.

19अपरं निजमनो वदिष्यामि, हे मनो बहुवत्सरार्थं नानाद्रव्याणि सञ्चितानि सन्ति विश्रामं कुरु भुक्त्वा पीत्वा कौतुकञ्च कुरु। किन्त्वीश्वरस्तम् अवदत्,Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’

20रे निर्बोध अद्य रात्रौ तव प्राणास्त्वत्तो नेष्यन्ते तत एतानि यानि द्रव्याणि त्वयासादितानि तानि कस्य भविष्यन्ति?But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’

21अतएव यः कश्चिद् ईश्वरस्य समीपे धनसञ्चयमकृत्वा केवलं स्वनिकटे सञ्चयं करोति सोपि तादृशः।This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”

22अथ स शिष्येभ्यः कथयामास, युष्मानहं वदामि, किं खादिष्यामः? किं परिधास्यामः? इत्युक्त्वा जीवनस्य शरीरस्य चार्थं चिन्तां मा कार्ष्ट।Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.

23भक्ष्याज्जीवनं भूषणाच्छरीरञ्च श्रेष्ठं भवति।For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

24काकपक्षिणां कार्य्यं विचारयत, ते न वपन्ति शस्यानि च न छिन्दन्ति, तेषां भाण्डागाराणि न सन्ति कोषाश्च न सन्ति, तथापीश्वरस्तेभ्यो भक्ष्याणि ददाति, यूयं पक्षिभ्यः श्रेष्ठतरा न किं?Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!

25अपरञ्च भावयित्वा निजायुषः क्षणमात्रं वर्द्धयितुं शक्नोति, एतादृशो लाको युष्माकं मध्ये कोस्ति?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

26अतएव क्षुद्रं कार्य्यं साधयितुम् असमर्था यूयम् अन्यस्मिन् कार्य्ये कुतो भावयथ?So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27अन्यच्च काम्पिलपुष्पं कथं वर्द्धते तदापि विचारयत, तत् कञ्चन श्रमं न करोति तन्तूंश्च न जनयति किन्तु युष्मभ्यं यथार्थं कथयामि सुलेमान् बह्वैश्वर्य्यान्वितोपि पुष्पस्यास्य सदृशो विभूषितो नासीत्।Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.

28अद्य क्षेत्रे वर्त्तमानं श्वश्चूल्ल्यां क्षेप्स्यमानं यत् तृणं, तस्मै यदीश्वर इत्थं भूषयति तर्हि हे अल्पप्रत्ययिनो युष्मान किं न परिधापयिष्यति?If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29अतएव किं खादिष्यामः? किं परिधास्यामः? एतदर्थं मा चेष्टध्वं मा संदिग्ध्वञ्च।And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.

30जगतो देवार्च्चका एतानि सर्व्वाणि चेष्टनते; एषु वस्तुषु युष्माकं प्रयोजनमास्ते इति युष्माकं पिता जानाति।For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

31अतएवेश्वरस्य राज्यार्थं सचेष्टा भवत तथा कृते सर्व्वाण्येतानि द्रव्याणि युष्मभ्यं प्रदायिष्यन्ते।But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

32हे क्षुद्रमेषव्रज यूयं मा भैष्ट युष्मभ्यं राज्यं दातुं युष्माकं पितुः सम्मतिरस्ति।Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

33अतएव युष्माकं या या सम्पत्तिरस्ति तां तां विक्रीय वितरत, यत् स्थानं चौरा नागच्छन्ति, कीटाश्च न क्षाययन्ति तादृशे स्वर्गे निजार्थम् अजरे सम्पुटके ऽक्षयं धनं सञ्चिनुत च;Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

34यतो यत्र युष्माकं धनं वर्त्तते तत्रेव युष्माकं मनः।For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

35अपरञ्च यूयं प्रदीपं ज्वालयित्वा बद्धकटयस्तिष्ठत;Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.

36प्रभु र्विवाहादागत्य यदैव द्वारमाहन्ति तदैव द्वारं मोचयितुं यथा भृत्या अपेक्ष्य तिष्ठन्ति तथा यूयमपि तिष्ठत।Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.

37यतः प्रभुरागत्य यान् दासान् सचेतनान् तिष्ठतो द्रक्ष्यति तएव धन्याः; अहं युष्मान् यथार्थं वदामि प्रभुस्तान् भोजनार्थम् उपवेश्य स्वयं बद्धकटिः समीपमेत्य परिवेषयिष्यति।Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

38यदि द्वितीये तृतीये वा प्रहरे समागत्य तथैव पश्यति, तर्हि तएव दासा धन्याः।Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.

39अपरञ्च कस्मिन् क्षणे चौरा आगमिष्यन्ति इति यदि गृहपति र्ज्ञातुं शक्नोति तदावश्यं जाग्रन् निजगृहे सन्धिं कर्त्तयितुं वारयति यूयमेतद् वित्त।But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.

40अतएव यूयमपि सज्जमानास्तिष्ठत यतो यस्मिन् क्षणे तं नाप्रेक्षध्वे तस्मिन्नेव क्षणे मनुष्यपुत्र आगमिष्यति।You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”

41तदा पितरः पप्रच्छ, हे प्रभो भवान् किमस्मान् उद्दिश्य किं सर्व्वान् उद्दिश्य दृष्टान्तकथामिमां वदति?“Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”

42ततः प्रभुः प्रोवाच, प्रभुः समुचितकाले निजपरिवारार्थं भोज्यपरिवेषणाय यं तत्पदे नियोक्ष्यति तादृशो विश्वास्यो बोद्धा कर्म्माधीशः कोस्ति?And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?

43प्रभुरागत्य यम् एतादृशे कर्म्मणि प्रवृत्तं द्रक्ष्यति सएव दासो धन्यः।Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.

44अहं युष्मान् यथार्थं वदामि स तं निजसर्व्वस्वस्याधिपतिं करिष्यति।Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

45किन्तु प्रभुर्विलम्बेनागमिष्यति, इति विचिन्त्य स दासो यदि तदन्यदासीदासान् प्रहर्त्तुम् भोक्तुं पातुं मदितुञ्च प्रारभते,But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.

46तर्हि यदा प्रभुं नापेक्षिष्यते यस्मिन् क्षणे सोऽचेतनश्च स्थास्यति तस्मिन्नेव क्षणे तस्य प्रभुरागत्य तं पदभ्रष्टं कृत्वा विश्वासहीनैः सह तस्य अंशं निरूपयिष्यति।The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47यो दासः प्रभेाराज्ञां ज्ञात्वापि सज्जितो न तिष्ठति तदाज्ञानुसारेण च कार्य्यं न करोति सोनेकान् प्रहारान् प्राप्स्यति;That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.

48किन्तु यो जनोऽज्ञात्वा प्रहारार्हं कर्म्म करोति सोल्पप्रहारान् प्राप्स्यति। यतो यस्मै बाहुल्येन दत्तं तस्मादेव बाहुल्येन ग्रहीष्यते, मानुषा यस्य निकटे बहु समर्पयन्ति तस्माद् बहु याचन्ते।But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

49अहं पृथिव्याम् अनैक्यरूपं वह्नि निक्षेप्तुम् आगतोस्मि, स चेद् इदानीमेव प्रज्वलति तत्र मम का चिन्ता?I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50किन्तु येन मज्जनेनाहं मग्नो भविष्यामि यावत्कालं तस्य सिद्धि र्न भविष्यति तावदहं कतिकष्टं प्राप्स्यामि।But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

51मेलनं कर्त्तुं जगद् आगतोस्मि यूयं किमित्थं बोधध्वे? युष्मान् वदामि न तथा, किन्त्वहं मेलनाभावं कर्त्तुंम् आगतोस्मि।Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52यस्मादेतत्कालमारभ्य एकत्रस्थपरिजनानां मध्ये पञ्चजनाः पृथग् भूत्वा त्रयो जना द्वयोर्जनयोः प्रतिकूला द्वौ जनौ च त्रयाणां जनानां प्रतिकूलौ भविष्यन्ति।From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

53पिता पुत्रस्य विपक्षः पुत्रश्च पितु र्विपक्षो भविष्यति माता कन्याया विपक्षा कन्या च मातु र्विपक्षा भविष्यति, तथा श्वश्रूर्बध्वा विपक्षा बधूश्च श्वश्र्वा विपक्षा भविष्यति।They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

54स लोकेभ्योपरमपि कथयामास, पश्चिमदिशि मेघोद्गमं दृष्ट्वा यूयं हठाद् वदथ वृष्टि र्भविष्यति ततस्तथैव जायते।Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.

55अपरं दक्षिणतो वायौ वाति सति वदथ निदाघो भविष्यति ततः सोपि जायते।And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.

56रे रे कपटिन आकाशस्य भूम्याश्च लक्षणं बोद्धुं शक्नुथ,You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?

57किन्तु कालस्यास्य लक्षणं कुतो बोद्धुं न शक्नुथ? यूयञ्च स्वयं कुतो न न्याष्यं विचारयथ?And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

58अपरञ्च विवादिना सार्द्धं विचारयितुः समीपं गच्छन् पथि तस्मादुद्धारं प्राप्तुं यतस्व नोचेत् स त्वां धृत्वा विचारयितुः समीपं नयति। विचारयिता यदि त्वां प्रहर्त्तुः समीपं समर्पयति प्रहर्त्ता त्वां कारायां बध्नातिMake every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.

59तर्हि त्वामहं वदामि त्वया निःशेषं कपर्दकेषु न परिशोधितेषु त्वं ततो मुक्तिं प्राप्तुं न शक्ष्यसि।I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
