Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 Έλεγε δε και παραβολήν προς αυτούς περί του ότι πρέπει πάντοτε να προσεύχωνται και να μη αποκάμνωσι,
And He also spoke an allegory to them, that it is always necessary to pray and not to faint,
2 λέγων· Κριτής τις ήτο εν τινί πόλει, όστις τον Θεόν δεν εφοβείτο και άνθρωπον δεν εντρέπετο.
saying, “A certain judge was in a certain city—he is not fearing God, and he is not regarding man—
3 Ήτο δε χήρα τις εν εκείνη τη πόλει και ήρχετο προς αυτόν, λέγουσα· Εκδίκησόν με από του αντιδίκου μου.
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 Και μέχρι τινός δεν ηθέλησε· μετά δε ταύτα είπε καθ' εαυτόν· Αν και τον Θεόν δεν φοβώμαι και άνθρωπον δεν εντρέπωμαι,
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if I do not fear God, and do not regard man,
5 τουλάχιστον επειδή με ενοχλεί η χήρα αύτη, ας εκδικήσω αυτήν, διά να μη έρχηται πάντοτε και με βασανίζη.
yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, continuously coming, she may bruise me.”
6 Και είπεν ο Κύριος· Ακούσατε τι λέγει ο άδικος κριτής·
And the LORD said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says:
7 ο δε Θεός δεν θέλει κάμει την εκδίκησιν των εκλεκτών αυτού των βοώντων προς αυτόν ημέραν και νύκτα, αν και μακροθυμή δι' αυτούς;
and will God not execute justice to His chosen ones, who are crying to Him day and night—bearing long in regard to them?
8 σας λέγω ότι θέλει κάμει την εκδίκησιν αυτών ταχέως. Πλην ο Υιός του ανθρώπου, όταν έλθη, άρα γε θέλει ευρεί την πίστιν επί της γης;
I say to you that He will execute justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”
9 Είπε δε και προς τινάς, τους θαρρούντας εις εαυτούς ότι είναι δίκαιοι και καταφρονούντας τους λοιπούς, την παραβολήν ταύτην·
And He also spoke to some who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this allegory:
10 Άνθρωποι δύο ανέβησαν εις το ιερόν διά να προσευχηθώσιν, ο εις Φαρισαίος και ο άλλος τελώνης.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector;
11 Ο Φαρισαίος σταθείς προσηύχετο καθ' εαυτόν ταύτα· Ευχαριστώ σοι, Θεέ, ότι δεν είμαι καθώς οι λοιποί άνθρωποι, άρπαγες, άδικοι, μοιχοί, ή και καθώς ούτος ο τελώνης·
the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector;
12 νηστεύω δις της εβδομάδος, αποδεκατίζω πάντα όσα έχω.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.
13 Και ο τελώνης μακρόθεν ιστάμενος, δεν ήθελεν ουδέ τους οφθαλμούς να υψώση εις τον ουρανόν, αλλ' έτυπτεν εις το στήθος αυτού, λέγων· Ο Θεός, ιλάσθητί μοι τω αμαρτωλώ.
And the tax collector, having stood far off, would not even lift up the eyes to the sky, but was striking on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me—the sinner!
14 Σας λέγω, Κατέβη ούτος εις τον οίκον αυτού δεδικαιωμένος μάλλον παρά εκείνος· διότι πας ο υψών εαυτόν θέλει ταπεινωθή, ο δε ταπεινών εαυτόν θέλει υψωθή.
I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
15 Έφερον δε προς αυτόν και τα βρέφη, διά να εγγίζη αυτά· ιδόντες δε οι μαθηταί, επέπληξαν αυτούς.
And they were also bringing the babies near, that He may touch them, and the disciples having seen, rebuked them,
16 Ο Ιησούς όμως προσκαλέσας αυτά, είπεν· Αφήσατε τα παιδία να έρχωνται προς εμέ, και μη εμποδίζετε αυτά· διότι των τοιούτων είναι η βασιλεία του Θεού.
and Jesus having called them near, said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
17 Αληθώς σας λέγω, Όστις δεν δεχθή την βασιλείαν του Θεού ως παιδίον, δεν θέλει εισέλθει εις αυτήν.
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, may not enter into it.”
18 Και άρχων τις ηρώτησεν αυτόν λέγων· Διδάσκαλε αγαθέ, τι να πράξω διά να κληρονομήσω ζωήν αιώνιον; (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what having done—will I inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Και ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν· Τι με λέγεις αγαθόν; ουδείς αγαθός ειμή εις ο Θεός.
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good, except one—God;
20 Τας εντολάς εξεύρεις· Μη μοιχεύσης, Μη φονεύσης, Μη κλέψης, Μη ψευδομαρτυρήσης, Τίμα τον πατέρα σου και την μητέρα σου.
you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honor your father and your mother.”
21 Ο δε είπε· Ταύτα πάντα εφύλαξα εκ νεότητός μου.
And he said, “All these I kept from my youth”;
22 Ακούσας δε ταύτα ο Ιησούς, είπε προς αυτόν· Έτι εν σοι λείπει· πάντα όσα έχεις πώλησον και διαμοίρασον εις πτωχούς, και θέλεις έχει θησαυρόν εν ουρανώ, και ελθέ, ακολούθει μοι.
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, “Yet one thing to you is lacking: all things—as many as you have—sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me”;
23 Ο δε ακούσας ταύτα έγεινε περίλυπος διότι ήτο πλούσιος σφόδρα.
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceedingly rich.
24 Ιδών δε αυτόν ο Ιησούς περίλυπον γενόμενον, είπε· Πως δυσκόλως θέλουσιν εισέλθει εις την βασιλείαν του Θεού οι έχοντες τα χρήματα·
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, “How hardly will those having riches enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 διότι ευκολώτερον είναι να περάση κάμηλος διά τρύπης βελόνης, παρά πλούσιος να εισέλθη εις την βασιλείαν του Θεού.
For it is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 Είπον δε οι ακούσαντες· Και τις δύναται να σωθή;
And those who heard, said, “And who is able to be saved?”
27 Ο δε είπε· Τα αδύνατα παρά ανθρώποις είναι δυνατά παρά τω Θεώ.
And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 Είπε δε ο Πέτρος· Ιδού, ημείς αφήκαμεν πάντα και σε ηκολουθήσαμεν.
And Peter said, “Behold, we left all, and followed You”;
29 Ο δε είπε προς αυτούς· Αληθώς σας λέγω ότι δεν είναι ουδείς, όστις αφήκεν οικίαν ή γονείς ή αδελφούς ή γυναίκα ή τέκνα ένεκεν της βασιλείας του Θεού,
and He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God,
31 Παραλαβών δε τους δώδεκα, είπε προς αυτούς· Ιδού, αναβαίνομεν εις Ιεροσόλυμα, και θέλουσιν εκτελεσθή πάντα τα γεγραμμένα διά των προφητών εις τον Υιόν του ανθρώπου.
And having taken the Twelve aside, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things will be accomplished that have been written through the prophets to the Son of Man,
32 Διότι θέλει παραδοθή εις τα έθνη και θέλει εμπαιχθή και υβρισθή και εμπτυσθή,
for He will be delivered up to the nations, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit on,
33 και μαστιγώσαντες θέλουσι θανατώσει αυτόν, και τη τρίτη ημέρα θέλει αναστηθή.
and having scourged they will put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise again.”
34 Και αυτοί δεν ενόησαν ουδέν εκ τούτων, και ήτο ο λόγος ούτος κεκρυμμένος απ' αυτών, και δεν ενόουν τα λεγόμενα.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 Ότε δε επλησίαζεν εις την Ιεριχώ, τυφλός τις εκάθητο παρά την οδόν ζητών·
And it came to pass, in His coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 ακούσας δε όχλον διαβαίνοντα, ηρώτα τι είναι τούτο.
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 Απήγγειλαν δε προς αυτόν ότι Ιησούς ο Ναζωραίος διαβαίνει.
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene passes by,
38 Και εφώναξε λέγων· Ιησού, υιέ του Δαβίδ, ελέησόν με.
and he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me”;
39 Και οι προπορευόμενοι επέπληττον αυτόν διά να σιωπήση· αλλ' αυτός πολλώ μάλλον έκραζεν· Υιέ του Δαβίδ, ελέησόν με.
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was crying out much more, “Son of David, deal kindly with me!”
40 Σταθείς δε ο Ιησούς, προσέταξε να φερθή προς αυτόν. Και αφού επλησίασεν, ηρώτησεν αυτόν
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to Him, and he having come near, He questioned him,
41 λέγων· Τι θέλεις να σοι κάμω; Ο δε είπε· Κύριε, να αναβλέψω.
saying, “What do you will I will do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
42 Και ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν· Ανάβλεψον· η πίστις σου σε έσωσε.
And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you”;
43 Και παρευθύς ανέβλεψε και ηκολούθει αυτόν δοξάζων τον Θεόν· και πας ο λαός ιδών ήνεσε τον Θεόν.
and instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, gave praise to God.
