Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοισ προσ το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 λεγων κριτησ τισ ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενοσ και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενοσ
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προσ αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εισ τελοσ ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριοσ ακουσατε τι ο κριτησ τησ αδικιασ λεγει
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 ο δε θεοσ ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προσ αυτον ημερασ και νυκτοσ και μακροθυμων επ αυτοισ
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι τησ γησ
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 ειπεν δε προσ τινασ τουσ πεποιθοτασ εφ εαυτοισ οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντασ τουσ λοιπουσ την παραβολην ταυτην
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εισ το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εισ φαρισαιοσ και ο ετεροσ τελωνησ
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 ο φαρισαιοσ σταθεισ προσ εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο ο θεοσ ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγεσ αδικοι μοιχοι η και ωσ ουτοσ ο τελωνησ
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 νηστευω δισ του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 και ο τελωνησ μακροθεν εστωσ ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τουσ οφθαλμουσ εισ τον ουρανον επαραι αλλ ετυπτεν εισ το στηθοσ αυτου λεγων ο θεοσ ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτοσ δεδικαιωμενοσ εισ τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινοσ οτι πασ ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντεσ δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοισ
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 ο δε ιησουσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προσ με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 αμην λεγω υμιν οσ εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ωσ παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εισ αυτην
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 και επηρωτησεν τισ αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησασ ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησουσ τι με λεγεισ αγαθον ουδεισ αγαθοσ ει μη εισ ο θεοσ
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 τασ εντολασ οιδασ μη μοιχευσησ μη φονευσησ μη κλεψησ μη ψευδομαρτυρησησ τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητοσ μου
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 ακουσασ δε ταυτα ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεισ πωλησον και διαδοσ πτωχοισ και εξεισ θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 ο δε ακουσασ ταυτα περιλυποσ εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιοσ σφοδρα
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησουσ περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πωσ δυσκολωσ οι τα χρηματα εχοντεσ εισελευσονται εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιασ ραφιδοσ εισελθειν η πλουσιον εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντεσ και τισ δυναται σωθηναι
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποισ δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 ειπεν δε πετροσ ιδου ημεισ αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 ο δε ειπεν αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεισ εστιν οσ αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεισ η αδελφουσ η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν τησ βασιλειασ του θεου
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
31 παραλαβων δε τουσ δωδεκα ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ιδου αναβαινομεν εισ ιεροσολυμα και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοισ εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 και μαστιγωσαντεσ αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εισ ιεριχω τυφλοσ τισ εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 ακουσασ δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησουσ ο ναζωραιοσ παρερχεται
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 και οι προαγοντεσ επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτοσ δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 σταθεισ δε ο ιησουσ εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προσ αυτον εγγισαντοσ δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 λεγων τι σοι θελεισ ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 και ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστισ σου σεσωκεν σε
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πασ ο λαοσ ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
