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 did not fear God, and did not respect people.
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, 'Give me justice against 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 would not for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect people,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υπωπιαζη με
yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her justice, 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 ποιησει 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 και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
He spoke also 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 to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like other people, extortioners, 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, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
14 λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η 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
Now 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
Jesus summoned them, saying, "Allow the little children to come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
Truly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God 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 Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
19 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
Jesus 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: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not give false testimony,' 'Honor your father and your mother.'"
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
And he said, "I have kept 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 Jesus heard it, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. 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
And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God.
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 person to enter into the Kingdom of God."
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 man are possible with God."
28 ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
And Peter said, "Look, we have left our own things 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, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the Kingdom of God'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, "Look, 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 non-Jews, 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 did not understand the things that were said.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
It happened, 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 crowd going by, he asked what this meant.
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαβιδ ελεησον με
He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
39 και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαβιδ ελεησον με
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
40 σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
Standing still, Jesus 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
Jesus 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
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
