Luke 6
1 And it was don in the secounde firste sabat, whanne he passid bi cornes, hise disciplis pluckiden eeris of corn; and thei frotynge with her hondis, eeten.
And on a sabbath it occurred, as Jesus walked among the tilled grounds, that his disciples plucked ears, and rubbed them in their hands and ate.
2 And summe of the Farisees seiden to hem, What doon ye that, that is not leeueful in the sabotis?
And some of the Pharisees said to them: Why do ye that, which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
3 And Jhesus answeride, and seide to hem, Han ye not redde, what Dauith dide, whanne he hungride, and thei that weren with hym;
Jesus replied, and said to them: Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, he and those with him?
4 hou he entride in to the hous of God, and took looues of proposicioun, and eet, and yaf to hem that weren with hem; whiche looues it was not leeueful to eete, but oonli to prestis.
How he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Lord's table, and gave it to those that were with him; which it was not lawful, except for the priests only, to eat?
5 And he seide to hem, For mannus sone is lord, yhe, of the sabat.
And he said to them: The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
6 And it was don in another sabat, that he entride in to a synagoge, and tauyte. And a man was there, and his riyt hoond was drie.
And on another sabbath, he entered a synagogue and taught. And a man was there, whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribis and Farisees aspieden hym, if he wolde heele hym in the sabat, that thei schulden fynde cause, whereof thei schulden accuse hym.
And the Scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might be able to accuse him.
8 And he wiste the thouytis of hem, and he seide to the man that hadde a drie hoond, Rise vp, and stonde in to the myddil. And he roos, and stood.
And as he knew their thoughts, he said to the man with a withered hand: Rise and come into the midst of the congregation. And when he came and stood there,
9 And Jhesus seide to hem, Y axe you, if it is leueful to do wel in the sabat, or yuel? to make a soule saaf, or to leese?
Jesus said to them: I ask you, What is it lawful to do on the sabbath? that which is good? or that which is evil? to save life or to destroy it?
10 And whanne he hadde biholde alle men aboute, he seide to the man, Hold forth thin hoond. And he held forth, and his hond was restorid to helthe.
And he looked upon them all; and then said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched out his hand, and it was restored like the other.
11 And thei weren fulfillid with vnwisdom, and spaken togidir, what thei schulden do of Jhesu.
And they were filled with envy; and they conferred one with another, what they should do to Jesus.
12 And it was don in tho daies, he wente out in to an hil to preye; and he was al nyyt dwellynge in the preier of God.
And in those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray; and he passed the night there, in prayer to God.
13 And whanne the day was come, he clepide hise disciplis, and chees twelue of hem, whiche he clepide also apostlis;
And when the day dawned, he called his disciples, and selected from them twelve, whom he named Legates:
14 Symount, whom he clepide Petir, and Andrew, his brothir, James and Joon,
Simon whom he named Cephas, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
15 Filip and Bartholomew, Matheu and Thomas, James Alphei, and Symount, that is clepid Zelotes,
and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who was called Zelotes,
16 Judas of James, and Judas Scarioth, that was traytoure.
and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 And Jhesus cam doun fro the hil with hem, and stood in a feeldi place; and the cumpeny of hise disciplis, and a greet multitude of puple, of al Judee, and Jerusalem, and of the see coostis, and of Tyre and Sidon,
And Jesus descended with them, and stood in the plain; and a great company of his disciples, and a multitude of assembled people, from all Judaea, and from Jerusalem and from the seashore of Tyre and Sidon; who came to hear his discourse, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 that camen to here hym, and to be heelid of her siknessis; and thei that weren trauelid of vncleene spiritis, weren heelid.
and they who were afflicted by unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19 And al puple souyte to touche hym, for vertu wente out of hym, and heelide alle.
And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went a virtue out of him and healed them all.
20 And whanne hise iyen weren cast vp in to hise disciplis, he seide, Blessid be ye, `pore men, for the kyngdom of God is youre.
And he lifted his eyes upon his disciples, and said: Blessed are ye poor; for the kingdom of God is yours.
21 Blessid be ye, that now hungren, for ye schulen be fulfillid. Blessid be ye, that now wepen, for ye schulen leiye.
Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye will be satisfied. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will laugh.
22 Ye schulen be blessid, whanne men schulen hate you, and departe you awei, and putte schenschip to you, and cast out youre name as yuel, for mannus sone.
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and repel you, and revile you, and cast out your names as base, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Joye ye in that dai, and be ye glad; for lo! youre meede is myche in heuene; for aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to prophetis.
Rejoice in that day and exult, for your reward is great in heaven; for so did their fathers to the prophets.
24 Netheles wo to you, riche men, that han youre coumfort.
But, woe to you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.
25 Wo to you that ben fulfillid, for ye schulen hungre. Wo to you that now leiyen, for ye schulen morne, and wepe.
Woe to you that are full; for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for ye will weep and mourn.
26 Wo to you, whanne alle men schulen blesse you; aftir these thingis the fadris of hem diden to profetis.
Woe to you, when men shall speak your praise; for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But Y seie to you that heren, loue ye youre enemyes, do ye wel to hem that hatiden you;
And to you who hear, I say: Love your enemies; and do favors to them that hate you;
28 blesse ye men that cursen you, preye ye for men that defamen you.
and bless them that curse you; and pray for them that drag you with violence.
29 And to him that smytith thee on o cheeke, schewe also the tothir; and fro hym that takith awei fro thee a cloth, nyle thou forbede the coote.
To him that smiteth thee on thy cheek, offer the other: and from him that taketh away thy cloak, keep not back thy tunic.
30 And yyue to eche that axith thee, and if a man takith awei tho thingis that ben thine, axe thou not ayen.
To every one that asketh of thee, give thou: and from him that taketh thy property, demand it not.
31 And as ye wolen that men do to you, do ye also to hem in lijk maner.
And as ye would that men should do to you, so do ye also to them.
32 And if ye louen hem that louen you, what thanke is to you? for synful men louen men that louen hem.
For, if ye love them that love you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners love those that love them.
33 And if ye don wel to hem that don wel to you, what grace is to you? synful men don this thing.
And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what goodness is it in you? For even sinners do the same.
34 And if ye leenen to hem of whiche ye hopen to take ayen, what thanke is to you? for synful men leenen to synful men, to take ayen as myche.
And if ye lend to one from whom ye expect recompense, what goodness is it in you? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive adequate recompense.
35 Netheles loue ye youre enemyes, and do ye wel, and leene ye, hopinge no thing therof, and youre mede schal be myche, and ye schulen be the sones of the Heyest, for he is benygne on vnkynde men and yuele men.
But love ye your enemies, and do them good; and lend ye, and disappoint the hopes of no one: and great will be your reward, and ye will be children of the Highest; for he is kind to the evil, and to the unthankful.
36 Therfor be ye merciful, as youre fadir is merciful.
Be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
37 Nyle ye deme, and ye schulen not be demed. Nyle ye condempne, and ye schulen not be condempned; foryyue ye, and it schal be foryouun to you.
Judge not, and ye will not be judged: condemn not, and ye will not be condemned: release, and ye will be released.
38 Yyue ye, and it schal be youun to you. Thei schulen yyue in to youre bosum a good mesure, and wel fillid, and schakun togidir, and ouerflowynge; for bi the same mesure, bi whiche ye meeten, it schal be metun `ayen to you.
Give ye, and it will be given to you; in good measure, pressed down, and running over, will they cast into your lap. For, with what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you.
39 And he seide to hem a liknesse, Whether the blynde may leede the blynde? ne fallen thei not bothe `in to the diche?
And he spake a similitude to them: Can a blind man lead a blind? Will not both fall into the ditch?
40 A disciple is not aboue the maistir; but eche schal be perfite, if he be as his maister.
No disciple is better than his teacher; for whoever is perfect, will be like his teacher.
41 And what seest thou in thi brotheris iye a moot, but thou biholdist not a beem, that is in thin owne iye?
And why observest thou the straw that is in thy brother's eye, but regardest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
42 Or hou maist thou seie to thi brother, Brothir, suffre, Y schal caste out the moot of thin iye, and thou biholdist not a beem in thin owne iye? Ipocrite, first take out the beem of thin iye, and thanne thou schalt se to take the moot of thi brotheris iye.
Or how canst thou say to thy brothers, My brother, allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; when, lo, the beam that is in thy own eye, thou regardest not. Hypocrite! first cast the beam out thy eye, and then thy vision will be clear to pluck the straw from thy brother's eye.
43 It is not a good tree, that makith yuel fruytis, nether an yuel tree, that makith good fruytis;
There is no good tree, that beareth bad fruits; nor a bad tree, that beareth good fruits.
44 for euery tre is knowun of his fruyt. And men gaderen not figus of thornes, nethir men gaderen a grape of a buysche of breris.
For every tree is known by its fruits. Do men gather figs from thorn-bushes? So, neither do they pluck grapes from brambles.
45 A good man of the good tresoure of his herte bryngith forth good thingis, and an yuel man of the yuel tresoure bryngith forth yuel thingis; for of the plente of the herte the mouth spekith.
A good man, from the good treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out good things: and a bad man, from the bad treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out bad things. For, from the abundance of the heart, the lips speak.
46 And what clepen ye me, Lord, Lord, and doon not tho thingis that Y seie.
And why call ye me, My Lord, my Lord; while ye do not that which I command you?
47 Eche that cometh to me, and herith my wordis, and doith hem, Y schal schewe to you, to whom he is lijk.
Every one that cometh to me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show to whom he is like:
48 He is lijk to a man that bildith an hous, that diggide deepe, and sette the foundement on a stoon. And whanne greet flood was maad, the flood was hurtlid to that hous, and it miyte not moue it, for it was foundid on a sad stoon.
He is like a man that built a house; and he dug and went deep, and laid the foundations on a rock: and when a flood occurred, the flood rushed upon that house, and could not move it, for its foundation rested on a rock.
49 But he that herith, and doith not, is lijk to a man bildynge his hous on erthe with outen foundement; in to which the flood was hurlid, and anoon it felle doun; and the fallyng doun of that hous was maad greet.
But he that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built his house upon the earth, without a foundation; and when the torrent rushed upon it, it fell immediately, and the ruin of that house was great.
