Κατα Λουκαν 12
1 εν οις επισυναχθεισων των μυριαδων του οχλου ωστε καταπατειν αλληλους ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους μαθητας αυτου πρωτον προσεχετε εαυτοις απο της ζυμης ητις εστιν υποκρισις των φαρισαιων
In the mean time great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,
2 ουδεν δε συγκεκαλυμμενον εστιν ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
which shall not be discovered; nor hidden which shall not be known.
3 ανθ ων οσα εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι ακουσθησεται και ο προς το ους ελαλησατε εν τοις ταμειοις κηρυχθησεται επι των δωματων
Therefore whatsoever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in the light: and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.
4 λεγω δε υμιν τοις φιλοις μου μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτεινοντων το σωμα και μετα ταυτα μη εχοντων περισσοτερον τι ποιησαι
Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.
5 υποδειξω δε υμιν τινα φοβηθητε φοβηθητε τον μετα το αποκτειναι εχοντα εξουσιαν εμβαλειν εις την γεενναν ναι λεγω υμιν τουτον φοβηθητε (Geenna g1067)
But I will shew you whom ye should fear, ---Fear Him, who after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 ουχι πεντε στρουθια πωλουνται ασσαριων δυο και εν εξ αυτων ουκ εστιν επιλελησμενον ενωπιον του θεου
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaries, and not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 αλλα και αι τριχες της κεφαλης υμων πασαι ηριθμηνται μη φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε
Nay the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Be not therefore afraid; ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
8 λεγω δε υμιν πας ος αν {VAR1: ομολογησει } {VAR2: ομολογηση } εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων και ο υιος του ανθρωπου ομολογησει εν αυτω εμπροσθεν των αγγελων του θεου
But I say unto you, Whosoever shall own me before men, the Son of man will also own him before the angels of God.
9 ο δε αρνησαμενος με ενωπιον των ανθρωπων απαρνηθησεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου
But he, that disowneth me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 και πας ος ερει λογον εις τον υιον του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω τω δε εις το αγιον πνευμα βλασφημησαντι ουκ αφεθησεται
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but unto him, that blasphemeth the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.
11 οταν δε εισφερωσιν υμας επι τας συναγωγας και τας αρχας και τας εξουσιας μη μεριμνησητε πως {VAR1: [η τι] } {VAR2: η τι } απολογησησθε η τι ειπητε
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what defence to make, or what to say:
12 το γαρ αγιον πνευμα διδαξει υμας εν αυτη τη ωρα α δει ειπειν
for the holy Spirit shall teach you at that very time what ye ought to say.
13 ειπεν δε τις εκ του οχλου αυτω διδασκαλε ειπε τω αδελφω μου μερισασθαι μετ εμου την κληρονομιαν
And one among the multitude said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me: but He said unto him,
14 ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε τις με κατεστησεν κριτην η μεριστην εφ υμας
Man, who set me over you as a judge or divider?
15 ειπεν δε προς αυτους ορατε και φυλασσεσθε απο πασης πλεονεξιας οτι ουκ εν τω περισσευειν τινι η ζωη αυτου εστιν εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτω
And He said unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of his possessions.
16 ειπεν δε παραβολην προς αυτους λεγων ανθρωπου τινος πλουσιου ευφορησεν η χωρα
And He spake a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 και διελογιζετο εν εαυτω λεγων τι ποιησω οτι ουκ εχω που συναξω τους καρπους μου
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not room to lay up my corn.
18 και ειπεν τουτο ποιησω καθελω μου τας αποθηκας και μειζονας οικοδομησω και συναξω εκει παντα τον σιτον και τα αγαθα μου
And he said, This I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will bestow all my products and my goods.
19 και ερω τη ψυχη μου ψυχη εχεις πολλα αγαθα {VAR1: [κειμενα } {VAR2: κειμενα } εις ετη πολλα αναπαυου φαγε {VAR1: πιε] } {VAR2: πιε } ευφραινου
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast plenty of goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 ειπεν δε αυτω ο θεος αφρων ταυτη τη νυκτι την ψυχην σου {VAR1: αιτουσιν } {VAR2: απαιτουσιν } απο σου α δε ητοιμασας τινι εσται
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 {VAR1: [ουτως } {VAR2: ουτως } ο θησαυριζων εαυτω και μη εις θεον {VAR1: πλουτων] } {VAR2: πλουτων }
So is he that heapeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας [αυτου] δια τουτο λεγω υμιν μη μεριμνατε τη ψυχη τι φαγητε μηδε τω σωματι {VAR1: [υμων] } τι ενδυσησθε
And He said to his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on:
23 η γαρ ψυχη πλειον εστιν της τροφης και το σωμα του ενδυματος
the life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
24 κατανοησατε τους κορακας οτι ου σπειρουσιν ουδε θεριζουσιν οις ουκ εστιν ταμειον ουδε αποθηκη και ο θεος τρεφει αυτους ποσω μαλλον υμεις διαφερετε των πετεινων
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap; they have neither store-house nor barn, and yet God feedeth them: how much more worth are ye than the fowls?
25 τις δε εξ υμων μεριμνων δυναται επι την ηλικιαν αυτου προσθειναι πηχυν
And which of you by all his thought can add one moment to his life?
26 ει ουν ουδε ελαχιστον δυνασθε τι περι των λοιπων μεριμνατε
If then ye cannot do even the lest, why are ye so anxious about the rest?
27 κατανοησατε τα κρινα πως αυξανει ου κοπια ουδε νηθει λεγω δε υμιν ουδε σολομων εν παση τη δοξη αυτου περιεβαλετο ως εν τουτων
Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 ει δε εν αγρω τον χορτον οντα σημερον και αυριον εις κλιβανον βαλλομενον ο θεος ουτως αμφιεζει ποσω μαλλον υμας ολιγοπιστοι
Now if God so clothe the grass which is to day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 και υμεις μη ζητειτε τι φαγητε και τι πιητε και μη μετεωριζεσθε
And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; neither be ye in careful suspense:
30 ταυτα γαρ παντα τα εθνη του κοσμου επιζητουσιν υμων δε ο πατηρ οιδεν οτι χρηζετε τουτων
for all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 πλην ζητειτε την βασιλειαν αυτου και ταυτα προστεθησεται υμιν
Seek ye therefore the kingdom of God, and all these shall be super-added unto you.
32 μη φοβου το μικρον ποιμνιον οτι ευδοκησεν ο πατηρ υμων δουναι υμιν την βασιλειαν
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 πωλησατε τα υπαρχοντα υμων και δοτε ελεημοσυνην ποιησατε εαυτοις βαλλαντια μη παλαιουμενα θησαυρον ανεκλειπτον εν τοις ουρανοις οπου κλεπτης ουκ εγγιζει ουδε σης διαφθειρει
Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where no thief approacheth nor moth corrupteth:
34 οπου γαρ εστιν ο θησαυρος υμων εκει και η καρδια υμων εσται
for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 εστωσαν υμων αι οσφυες περιεζωσμεναι και οι λυχνοι καιομενοι
Let your loins be girt, and your lights burning, and
36 και υμεις ομοιοι ανθρωποις προσδεχομενοις τον κυριον εαυτων ποτε αναλυση εκ των γαμων ινα ελθοντος και κρουσαντος ευθεως ανοιξωσιν αυτω
ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.
37 μακαριοι οι δουλοι εκεινοι ους ελθων ο κυριος ευρησει γρηγορουντας αμην λεγω υμιν οτι περιζωσεται και ανακλινει αυτους και παρελθων διακονησει αυτοις
Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will come and serve them.
38 καν εν τη δευτερα καν εν τη τριτη φυλακη ελθη και ευρη ουτως μακαριοι εισιν εκεινοι
And if he come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so, happy indeed are those servants.
39 τουτο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια ωρα ο κλεπτης ερχεται {VAR1: εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ } {VAR2: ουκ αν } αφηκεν διορυχθηναι τον οικον αυτου
And this ye know, that if the master of a house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open:
40 και υμεις γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται
therefore be ye also ready; for the Son of man cometh at a season that ye think not of.
41 ειπεν δε ο πετρος κυριε προς ημας την παραβολην ταυτην λεγεις η και προς παντας
Then said Peter unto Him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us only, or to all others likewise?
42 και ειπεν ο κυριος τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος οικονομος ο φρονιμος ον καταστησει ο κυριος επι της θεραπειας αυτου του διδοναι εν καιρω [το] σιτομετριον
And the Lord said, Who is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure of food in due season?
43 μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτως
Happy is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον
Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
45 εαν δε ειπη ο δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει ο κυριος μου ερχεσθαι και αρξηται τυπτειν τους παιδας και τας παιδισκας εσθιειν τε και πινειν και μεθυσκεσθαι
But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, and drink, and to be drunken:
46 ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μερος αυτου μετα των απιστων θησει
the lord of that servant will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 εκεινος δε ο δουλος ο γνους το θελημα του κυριου αυτου και μη ετοιμασας η ποιησας προς το θελημα αυτου δαρησεται πολλας
And that servant, who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself to do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
48 ο δε μη γνους ποιησας δε αξια πληγων δαρησεται ολιγας παντι δε ω εδοθη πολυ πολυ ζητηθησεται παρ αυτου και ω παρεθεντο πολυ περισσοτερον αιτησουσιν αυτον
but he that knew it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49 πυρ ηλθον βαλειν επι την γην και τι θελω ει ηδη ανηφθη
I am come to send fire on the earth, and how do I desire that it were already kindled?
50 βαπτισμα δε εχω βαπτισθηναι και πως συνεχομαι εως οτου τελεσθη
for I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am straitened till it be accomplished?
51 δοκειτε οτι ειρηνην παρεγενομην δουναι εν τη γη ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ η διαμερισμον
Do ye think that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, nay; but rather division.
52 εσονται γαρ απο του νυν πεντε εν ενι οικω διαμεμερισμενοι τρεις επι δυσιν και δυο επι τρισιν
For from this time there shall be five in one family divided, three against two and two against three:
53 διαμερισθησονται πατηρ επι υιω και υιος επι πατρι μητηρ επι {VAR2: την } θυγατερα και θυγατηρ επι την μητερα πενθερα επι την νυμφην αυτης και νυμφη επι την πενθεραν
the father will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 ελεγεν δε και τοις οχλοις οταν ιδητε {VAR2: [την] } νεφελην ανατελλουσαν επι δυσμων ευθεως λεγετε οτι ομβρος ερχεται και γινεται ουτως
He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves:
55 και οταν νοτον πνεοντα λεγετε οτι καυσων εσται και γινεται
and when ye observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be heat, and it cometh to pass.
56 υποκριται το προσωπον της γης και του ουρανου οιδατε δοκιμαζειν τον καιρον δε τουτον πως ουκ οιδατε δοκιμαζειν
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?
57 τι δε και αφ εαυτων ου κρινετε το δικαιον
and why do ye not even of yourselves judge what is right?
58 ως γαρ υπαγεις μετα του αντιδικου σου επ αρχοντα εν τη οδω δος εργασιαν απηλλαχθαι {VAR1: [απ] } {VAR2: απ } αυτου μηποτε κατασυρη σε προς τον κριτην και ο κριτης σε παραδωσει τω πρακτορι και ο πρακτωρ σε βαλει εις φυλακην
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, endeavour while thou art in the way to be discharged, least he force thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer carry thee to prison.
59 λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως και το εσχατον λεπτον αποδως
I tell thee, thou shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
