Luke 11
1 At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
Et factum est: cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis eius ad eum: Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Ioannes discipulos suos.
2 So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
Et ait illis: Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo, et in terra.
3 give us day after day our bread for the day;
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
5 And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say, "'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
Et ait ad illos: Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: Amice, commoda mihi tres panes,
6 for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?
quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum,
7 "And he from indoors shall answer, "'Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'
et ille deintus respondens dicat: Noli mihi molestus esse, iam ostium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi.
8 "I tell you that even if he will not rise and give him the loaves because he is his friend, at any rate because of his persistency he will rouse himself and give him as many as he requires.
Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus eius sit, propter improbitatem tamen eius surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios.
9 "So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
10 For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
11 And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi? Aut piscem: numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi?
12 or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
Aut si petierit ovum: numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
13 If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
Si ergo vos cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester coelestis de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se?
14 On once occasion He was expelling a dumb demon; and when the demon was gone out the dumb man could speak, and the people were astonished.
Et erat eiiciens daemonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecisset daemonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratae sunt turbae.
15 But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."
Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe daemoniorum eiicit daemonia.
16 Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.
Et alii tentantes, signum de caelo quaerebant ab eo.
17 And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war rages goes to ruin: family attacks family and is overthrown.
Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet.
18 And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum eius? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me eiicere daemonia.
19 And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
Si autem ego in Beelzebub eiicio daemonia: filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
20 But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
Porro si in digito Dei eiicio daemonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
21 "Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt omnia, quae possidet.
22 but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma eius auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia eius distribuet.
23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit.
24 "When a foul spirit has left a man, it roams about in the Desert, seeking a resting-place; but, unable to find any, it says, 'I will return to the house I have left;"
Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quaerens requiem: et non inveniens dicit: Revertar in domum meam unde exivi.
25 and when it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in good order.
Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
26 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.
Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus.
27 As He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, "Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked."
Factum est autem, cum haec diceret: extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi: Beatus venter, qui te portavit, et ubera, quae suxisti.
28 "Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."
At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.
29 Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that of Jonah.
Turbis autem concurrentibus coepit dicere: Generatio haec, generatio nequam est: signum quaerit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae.
30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a token to the present generation.
Nam sicut fuit Ionas signum Ninivitis: ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
31 The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.
Regina Austri surget in iudicio cum viris generationis huius, et condemnabit illos: quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis: et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
32 There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.
Viri Ninivitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam: quia poenitentiam egerunt ad praedicationem Ionae, et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
33 "When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come in may see the light.
Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio: sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant.
34 The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eyesight is good, your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective, your body is darkened.
Lucerna corporis tui, est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit: si autem nequam fuerit, etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit.
35 Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.
Vide ergo ne lumen, quod in te est, tenebrae sint.
36 If, however, your whole body is penetrated with light, and has no part dark, it will be so lighted, all of it, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te.
37 When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.
Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam Pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se. Iesus autem ingressus recubuit.
38 Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.
Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
39 The Master however said to him, "Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.
Et ait Dominus ad illum: Nunc vos Pharisaei quod deforis est calicis, et catini, mundatis: quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina, et iniquitate.
40 Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
Stulti nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id, quod deintus est, fecit?
41 But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you.
Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
42 "But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.
Sed vae vobis Pharisaeis, qui decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et praeteritis iudicium, et charitatem Dei: haec autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
43 Alas for you Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and you like to be bowed to in places of public resort.
Vae vobis Pharisaeis, qui diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
44 Alas for you! for you are like the tombs which lie hidden, and the people who walk over them are not aware of their existence."
Vae vobis, qui estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
45 Hereupon one of the expounders of the Law exclaimed, "Rabbi, in saying such things you reproach us also."
Respondens autem quidam ex Legisperitis, ait illi: Magister, haec dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
46 "Alas too for you expounders of the Law!" replied Jesus, "for you load men with cumbrous burdens which you yourselves will not touch with one of your fingers.
At ille ait: Et vobis Legisperitis vae: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quae portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
47 Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.
Vae vobis, qui aedificatis monumenta Prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
48 It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra.
49 "For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'
Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos Prophetas, et Apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
50 so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.
ut inquiratur sanguis omnium Prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista,
51 Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House, it shall all be required from the present generation.
a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, qui periit inter altare, et aedem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione.
52 "Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered."
Vae vobis Legisperitis, qui tulistis clavem scientiae, ipsi non introistis, et eos, qui introibant, prohibuistis.
53 After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,
Cum autem haec ad illos diceret, coeperunt Pharisaei, et Legisperiti graviter insistere, et os eius opprimere de multis,
54 lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.
insidiantes ei, et quaerentes aliquid capere de ore eius, ut accusarent eum.
