Κατα Λουκαν 11
1 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τοπω τινι προσευχομενον ωσ επαυσατο ειπεν τισ των μαθητων αυτου προσ αυτον κυριε διδαξον ημασ προσευχεσθαι καθωσ και ιωαννησ εδιδαξεν τουσ μαθητασ αυτου
Then it happened, when He finished praying in a certain place, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2 ειπεν δε αυτοισ οταν προσευχησθε λεγετε πατερ ημων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ αγιασθητω το ονομα σου ελθετω η βασιλεια σου γενηθητω το θελημα σου ωσ εν ουρανω και επι τησ γησ
So He said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, your name must be reverenced. Your Kingdom must come. Your will must be done on earth as it is in heaven.
3 τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον διδου ημιν το καθ ημεραν
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 και αφεσ ημιν τασ αμαρτιασ ημων και γαρ αυτοι αφιεμεν παντι οφειλοντι ημιν και μη εισενεγκησ ημασ εισ πειρασμον αλλα ρυσαι ημασ απο του πονηρου
Also, forgive us our sins, because we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And, do not lead us into testing, but deliver us from the malignant one.”
5 και ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τισ εξ υμων εξει φιλον και πορευσεται προσ αυτον μεσονυκτιου και ειπη αυτω φιλε χρησον μοι τρεισ αρτουσ
Then He said to them: “Who among you will have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 επειδη φιλοσ παρεγενετο εξ οδου προσ με και ουκ εχω ο παραθησω αυτω
because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 κακεινοσ εσωθεν αποκριθεισ ειπη μη μοι κοπουσ παρεχε ηδη η θυρα κεκλεισται και τα παιδια μου μετ εμου εισ την κοιτην εισιν ου δυναμαι αναστασ δουναι σοι
and he will answer from within and say, ‘Don't bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you?’
8 λεγω υμιν ει και ου δωσει αυτω αναστασ δια το ειναι αυτου φιλον δια γε την αναιδειαν αυτου εγερθεισ δωσει αυτω οσον χρηζει
I say to you, even if he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
9 καγω υμιν λεγω αιτειτε και δοθησεται υμιν ζητειτε και ευρησετε κρουετε και ανοιγησεται υμιν
“So I say to you: ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 πασ γαρ ο αιτων λαμβανει και ο ζητων ευρισκει και τω κρουοντι ανοιγησεται
Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 τινα δε υμων τον πατερα αιτησει ο υιοσ αρτον μη λιθον επιδωσει αυτω η και ιχθυν μη αντι ιχθυοσ οφιν επιδωσει αυτω
And which father among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
12 η και εαν αιτηση ωον μη επιδωσει αυτω σκορπιον
Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 ει ουν υμεισ πονηροι υπαρχοντεσ οιδατε δοματα αγαθα διδοναι τοισ τεκνοισ υμων ποσω μαλλον ο πατηρ ο εξ ουρανου δωσει πνευμα αγιον τοισ αιτουσιν αυτον
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
14 και ην εκβαλλων δαιμονιον και αυτο ην κωφον εγενετο δε του δαιμονιου εξελθοντοσ ελαλησεν ο κωφοσ και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι
Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled.
15 τινεσ δε εξ αυτων ειπον εν βεελζεβουλ αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16 ετεροι δε πειραζοντεσ σημειον παρ αυτου εζητουν εξ ουρανου
While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
17 αυτοσ δε ειδωσ αυτων τα διανοηματα ειπεν αυτοισ πασα βασιλεια εφ εαυτην διαμερισθεισα ερημουται και οικοσ επι οικον πιπτει
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 ει δε και ο σατανασ εφ εαυτον διεμερισθη πωσ σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου οτι λεγετε εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλειν με τα δαιμονια
So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19 ει δε εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλλουσιν δια τουτο κριται υμων αυτοι εσονται
Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 ει δε εν δακτυλω θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμασ η βασιλεια του θεου
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 οταν ο ισχυροσ καθωπλισμενοσ φυλασση την εαυτου αυλην εν ειρηνη εστιν τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22 επαν δε ο ισχυροτεροσ αυτου επελθων νικηση αυτον την πανοπλιαν αυτου αιρει εφ η επεποιθει και τα σκυλα αυτου διαδιδωσιν
But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
23 ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
24 οταν το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και μη ευρισκον λεγει υποστρεψω εισ τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον
“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding any it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
25 και ελθον ευρισκει σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
And coming it finds it swept and put in order.
26 τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου και ελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων
Then it goes and picks up seven other spirits, more malignant than itself, and they go in and live there; so the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 εγενετο δε εν τω λεγειν αυτον ταυτα επαρασα τισ γυνη φωνην εκ του οχλου ειπεν αυτω μακαρια η κοιλια η βαστασασα σε και μαστοι ουσ εθηλασασ
And then, as He was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!”
28 αυτοσ δε ειπεν μενουνγε μακαριοι οι ακουοντεσ τον λογον του θεου και φυλασσοντεσ αυτον
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
29 των δε οχλων επαθροιζομενων ηρξατο λεγειν η γενεα αυτη πονηρα εστιν σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου
Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say: “This is a malignant generation. It keeps wanting a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
30 καθωσ γαρ εγενετο ιωνασ σημειον τοισ νινευιταισ ουτωσ εσται και ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου τη γενεα ταυτη
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of the Man be to this generation.
31 βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα των ανδρων τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και κατακρινει αυτουσ οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων τησ γησ ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωνοσ και ιδου πλειον σολομωνοσ ωδε
The queen of the South will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
32 ανδρεσ νινευι αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα τησ γενεασ ταυτησ και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εισ το κηρυγμα ιωνα και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
33 ουδεισ δε λυχνον αψασ εισ κρυπτην τιθησιν ουδε υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν ινα οι εισπορευομενοι το φεγγοσ βλεπωσιν
“No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in hiding or under a basket, but on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 ο λυχνοσ του σωματοσ εστιν ο οφθαλμοσ οταν ουν ο οφθαλμοσ σου απλουσ η και ολον το σωμα σου φωτεινον εστιν επαν δε πονηροσ η και το σωμα σου σκοτεινον
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, whenever your ‘eye’ is good, your whole body is illuminated. But when it is malignant, your body also is darkened.
35 σκοπει ουν μη το φωσ το εν σοι σκοτοσ εστιν
So see to it that the ‘light’ in you not be darkness.
36 ει ουν το σωμα σου ολον φωτεινον μη εχον τι μεροσ σκοτεινον εσται φωτεινον ολον ωσ οταν ο λυχνοσ τη αστραπη φωτιζη σε
If then your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, the whole will be illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
37 εν δε τω λαλησαι ηρωτα αυτον φαρισαιοσ τισ οπωσ αριστηση παρ αυτω εισελθων δε ανεπεσεν
Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.
38 ο δε φαρισαιοσ ιδων εθαυμασεν οτι ου πρωτον εβαπτισθη προ του αριστου
But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.
39 ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ προσ αυτον νυν υμεισ οι φαρισαιοι το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και του πινακοσ καθαριζετε το δε εσωθεν υμων γεμει αρπαγησ και πονηριασ
So the Lord said to him: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but your inside is full of greed and malignancy.
40 αφρονεσ ουχ ο ποιησασ το εξωθεν και το εσωθεν εποιησεν
Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
41 πλην τα ενοντα δοτε ελεημοσυνην και ιδου παντα καθαρα υμιν εστιν
Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 αλλ ουαι υμιν τοισ φαρισαιοισ οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το πηγανον και παν λαχανον και παρερχεσθε την κρισιν και την αγαπην του θεου ταυτα εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη αφιεναι
“But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.
43 ουαι υμιν τοισ φαρισαιοισ οτι αγαπατε την πρωτοκαθεδριαν εν ταισ συναγωγαισ και τουσ ασπασμουσ εν ταισ αγοραισ
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 ουαι υμιν γραμματεισ και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι εστε ωσ τα μνημεια τα αδηλα και οι ανθρωποι περιπατουντεσ επανω ουκ οιδασιν
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 αποκριθεισ δε τισ των νομικων λεγει αυτω διδασκαλε ταυτα λεγων και ημασ υβριζεισ
Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 ο δε ειπεν και υμιν τοισ νομικοισ ουαι οτι φορτιζετε τουσ ανθρωπουσ φορτια δυσβαστακτα και αυτοι ενι των δακτυλων υμων ου προσψαυετε τοισ φορτιοισ
So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 ουαι υμιν οτι οικοδομειτε τα μνημεια των προφητων οι δε πατερεσ υμων απεκτειναν αυτουσ
Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 αρα μαρτυρειτε και συνευδοκειτε τοισ εργοισ των πατερων υμων οτι αυτοι μεν απεκτειναν αυτουσ υμεισ δε οικοδομειτε αυτων τα μνημεια
Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you restore their tombs.
49 δια τουτο και η σοφια του θεου ειπεν αποστελω εισ αυτουσ προφητασ και αποστολουσ και εξ αυτων αποκτενουσιν και εκδιωξουσιν
Also, because of this ‘the wisdom of God’ said: ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
50 ινα εκζητηθη το αιμα παντων των προφητων το εκχυνομενον απο καταβολησ κοσμου απο τησ γενεασ ταυτησ
so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 απο του αιματοσ αβελ εωσ του αιματοσ ζαχαριου του απολομενου μεταξυ του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου ναι λεγω υμιν εκζητηθησεται απο τησ γενεασ ταυτησ
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 ουαι υμιν τοισ νομικοισ οτι ηρατε την κλειδα τησ γνωσεωσ αυτοι ουκ εισηλθετε και τουσ εισερχομενουσ εκωλυσατε
Woe to you lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering!”
53 λεγοντοσ δε αυτου ταυτα προσ αυτουσ ηρξαντο οι γραμματεισ και οι φαρισαιοι δεινωσ ενεχειν και αποστοματιζειν αυτον περι πλειονων
Well when He had said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him on vehemently and to cross-examine Him about many things,
54 ενεδρευοντεσ αυτον ζητουντεσ θηρευσαι τι εκ του στοματοσ αυτου ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου
lying in wait for Him, trying to catch Him in something He might say, so that they might accuse Him.
