Luke 19

1 वह यरीहो में प्रवेश करके जा रहा था।

2 और देखो, ज़क्कई नाम एक मनुष्य था जो चुंगी लेने वालों का सरदार और धनी था।

3 वह यीशु को देखना चाहता था कि वह कौन सा है परन्तु भीड़ के कारण देख न सकता था। क्योंकि वह नाटा था।

4 तब उस को देखने के लिये वह आगे दौड़कर एक गूलर के पेड़ पर चढ़ गया, क्योंकि वह उसी मार्ग से जाने वाला था।

5 जब यीशु उस जगह पहुंचा, तो ऊपर दृष्टि कर के उस से कहा; हे ज़क्कई झट उतर आ; क्योंकि आज मुझे तेरे घर में रहना अवश्य है।

6 वह तुरन्त उतर कर आनन्द से उसे अपने घर को ले गया।

7 यह देख कर सब लोगे कुड़कुड़ा कर कहने लगे, वह तो एक पापी मनुष्य के यहां जा उतरा है।

8 ज़क्कई ने खड़े होकर प्रभु से कहा; हे प्रभु, देख मैं अपनी आधी सम्पत्ति कंगालों को देता हूं, और यदि किसी का कुछ भी अन्याय करके ले लिया है तो उसे चौगुना फेर देता हूं।

9 तब यीशु ने उस से कहा; आज इस घर में उद्धार आया है, इसलिये कि यह भी इब्राहीम का एक पुत्र है।

10 क्योंकि मनुष्य का पुत्र खोए हुओं को ढूंढ़ने और उन का उद्धार करने आया है॥

11 जब वे ये बातें सुन रहे थे, तो उस ने एक दृष्टान्त कहा, इसलिये कि वह यरूशलेम के निकट था, और वे समझते थे, कि परमेश्वर का राज्य अभी प्रगट हुआ चाहता है।

12 सो उस ने कहा, एक धनी मनुष्य दूर देश को चला ताकि राजपद पाकर फिर आए।

13 और उस ने अपने दासों में से दस को बुलाकर उन्हें दस मुहरें दीं, और उन से कहा, मेरे लौट आने तक लेन-देन करना।

14 परन्तु उसके नगर के रहने वाले उस से बैर रखते थे, और उसके पीछे दूतों के द्वारा कहला भेजा, कि हम नहीं चाहते, कि यह हम पर राज्य करे।

15 जब वह राजपद पाकर लौट आया, तो ऐसा हुआ कि उस ने अपने दासों को जिन्हें रोकड़ दी थी, अपने पास बुलवाया ताकि मालूम करे कि उन्होंने लेन-देन से क्या क्या कमाया।

16 तब पहिले ने आकर कहा, हे स्वामी तेरे मोहर से दस और मोहरें कमाई हैं।

17 उस ने उस से कहा; धन्य हे उत्तम दास, तुझे धन्य है, तू बहुत ही थोड़े में विश्वासी निकला अब दस नगरों पर अधिकार रख।

18 दूसरे ने आकर कहा; हे स्वामी तेरी मोहर से पांच और मोहरें कमाई हैं।

19 उस ने कहा, कि तू भी पांच नगरों पर हाकिम हो जा।

20 तीसरे ने आकर कहा; हे स्वामी देख, तेरी मोहर यह है, जिसे मैं ने अंगोछे में बान्ध रखी।

21 क्योंकि मैं तुझ से डरता था, इसलिये कि तू कठोर मनुष्य है: जो तू ने नहीं रखा उसे उठा लेता है, और जो तू ने नहीं बोया, उसे काटता है।

22 उस ने उस से कहा; हे दुष्ट दास, मैं तेरे ही मुंह से तुझे दोषी ठहराता हूं: तू मुझे जानता था कि कठोर मनुष्य हूं, जो मैं ने नहीं रखा उसे उठा लेता, और जो मैं ने नहीं बोया, उसे काटता हूं।

23 तो तू ने मेरे रूपये कोठी में क्यों नहीं रख दिए, कि मैं आकर ब्याज समेत ले लेता?

24 और जो लोग निकट खड़े थे, उस ने उन से कहा, वह मोहर उस से ले लो, और जिस के पास दस मोहरें हैं उसे दे दो।

25 (उन्होंने उस से कहा; हे स्वामी, उसके पास दस मोहरें तो हैं)।

26 मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि जिस के पास है, उसे दिया जाएगा; और जिस के पास नहीं, उस से वह भी जो उसके पास है ले लिया जाएगा।

27 परन्तु मेरे उन बैरियों को जो नहीं चाहते थे कि मैं उन पर राज्य करूं, उन को यहां लाकर मेरे सामने घात करो॥

28 ये बातें कहकर वह यरूशलेम की ओर उन के आगे आगे चला॥

29 और जब वह जैतून नाम पहाड़ पर बैतफगे और बैतनियाह के पास पहुंचा, तो उस ने अपने चेलों में से दो को यह कहके भेजा।

30 कि साम्हने के गांव में जाओ, और उस में पहुंचते ही एक गदही का बच्चा जिस पर कभी कोई सवार नहीं हुआ, बन्धा हुआ तुम्हें मिलेगा, उसे खोल कर लाओ।

31 और यदि कोई तुम से पूछे, कि क्यों खोलते हो, तो यह कह देना, कि प्रभु को इस का प्रयोजन है।

32 जो भेजे गए थे; उन्होंने जाकर जैसा उस ने उन से कहा था, वैसा ही पाया।

33 जब वे गदहे के बच्चे को खोल रहे थे, तो उसके मालिकों ने उन से पूछा; इस बच्चे को क्यों खोलते हो?

34 उन्होंने कहा, प्रभु को इस का प्रयोजन है।

35 वे उस को यीशु के पास ले आए और अपने कपड़े उस बच्चे पर डालकर यीशु को उस पर सवार किया।

36 जब वह जा रहा था, तो वे अपने कपड़े मार्ग में बिछाते जाते थे।

37 और निकट आते हुए जब वह जैतून पहाड़ की ढलान पर पहुंचा, तो चेलों की सारी मण्डली उन सब सामर्थ के कामों के कारण जो उन्होंने देखे थे, आनन्दित होकर बड़े शब्द से परमेश्वर की स्तुति करने लगी।

38 कि धन्य है वह राजा, जो प्रभु के नाम से आता है; स्वर्ग में शान्ति और आकाश मण्डल में महिमा हो।

39 तब भीड़ में से कितने फरीसी उस से कहने लगे, हे गुरू अपने चेलों को डांट।

40 उस ने उत्तर दिया, कि तुम से कहता हूं, यदि ये चुप रहें, तो पत्थर चिल्ला उठेंगे॥

41 जब वह निकट आया तो नगर को देखकर उस पर रोया।

42 और कहा, क्या ही भला होता, कि तू; हां, तू ही, इसी दिन में कुशल की बातें जानता, परन्तु अब वे तेरी आंखों से छिप गई हैं।

43 क्योंकि वे दिन तुझ पर आएंगे कि तेरे बैरी मोर्चा बान्धकर तुझे घेर लेंगे, और चारों ओर से तुझे दबाएंगे।

44 और तुझे और तेरे बालकों को जो तुझ में हैं, मिट्टी में मिलाएंगे, और तुझ में पत्थर पर पत्थर भी न छोड़ेंगे; क्योंकि तू ने वह अवसर जब तुझ पर कृपा दृष्टि की गई न पहिचाना॥

45 तब वह मन्दिर में जाकर बेचने वालों को बाहर निकालने लगा।

46 और उन से कहा, लिखा है; कि मेरा घर प्रार्थना का घर होगा: परन्तु तुम ने उसे डाकुओं की खोह बना दिया है॥

47 और वह प्रति दिन मन्दिर में उपदेश करता था: और महायाजक और शास्त्री और लोगों के रईस उसे नाश करने का अवसर ढूंढ़ते थे।

48 परन्तु कोई उपाय न निकाल सके; कि यह किस प्रकार करें क्योंकि सब लोग बड़ी चाह से उस की सुनते थे।

1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.

6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.

13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.

14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
