Lucam 11
1 Et factum est: cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis ejus ad eum: Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Joannes discipulos suos.
It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as Yukhanan also taught his disciples."
2 Et ait illis: Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum.
So he said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, holy be your name. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
3 Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"
5 Et ait ad illos: Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: Amice, commoda mihi tres panes,
He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum,
for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'
7 et ille de intus respondens dicat: Noli mihi molestus esse, jam ostium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi.
and he from within will answer and say, 'Do not bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you'?
8 Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus ejus sit, propter improbitatem tamen ejus surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios.
I tell you, although he will not rise and give it 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 Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quærite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
"I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
11 Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi? aut piscem, numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi?
"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12 aut si petierit ovum, numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris: quanto magis Pater vester de cælo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Rukha d'Qudsha to those who ask him?"
14 Et erat ejiciens dæmonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum ejecisset dæmonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratæ sunt turbæ.
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.
15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum ejicit dæmonia.
But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Baelzebub, the prince of the demons."
16 Et alii tentantes, signum de cælo quærebant ab eo.
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17 Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet.
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.
18 Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum ejus? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me ejicere dæmonia.
If Satana also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Baelzebub.
19 Si autem ego in Beelzebub ejicio dæmonia: filii vestri in quo ejiciunt? ideo ipsi judices vestri erunt.
But if I cast out demons by Baelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges.
20 Porro si in digito Dei ejicio dæmonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you.
21 Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt ea quæ possidet.
"When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.
22 Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma ejus auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia ejus distribuet.
But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides up his plunder.
23 Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit.
"He that is not with me is against me. He who does not gather with me scatters.
24 Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quærens requiem: et non inveniens dicit: Revertar in domum meam unde exivi.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the person, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.'
25 Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.
26 Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius pejora prioribus.
Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that person becomes worse than the first."
27 Factum est autem, cum hæc diceret: extollens vocem quædam mulier de turba dixit illi: Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quæ suxisti.
It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the crowd lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you."
28 At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.
But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."
29 Turbis autem concurrentibus cœpit dicere: Generatio hæc, generatio nequam est: signum quærit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonæ prophetæ.
When the crowds were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Yaunan.
30 Nam sicut fuit Jonas signum Ninivitis, ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
For even as Yaunan became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 Regina austri surget in judicio cum viris generationis hujus, et condemnabit illos: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis: et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the people of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Shelemun; and look, one greater than Shelemun is here.
32 Viri Ninivitæ surgent in judicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt ad prædicationem Jonæ, et ecce plus quam Jonas hic.
The people of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Yaunan, and look, one greater than Yaunan is here.
33 Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio: sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant.
"No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit: si autem nequam fuerit, etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Vide ergo ne lumen quod in te est, tenebræ sint.
Therefore see whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
36 Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
37 Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam pharisæus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit.
Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table.
38 Pharisæus autem cœpit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first washed himself before dinner.
39 Et ait Dominus ad illum: Nunc vos pharisæi, quod deforis est calicis et catini, mundatis: quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina et iniquitate.
The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Stulti! nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id quod deintus est fecit?
You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and see, all things will be clean to you.
42 Sed væ vobis, pharisæis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et præteritis judicium et caritatem Dei: hæc autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
But woe to you Pharisees. For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
43 Væ vobis, pharisæis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
Woe to you Pharisees. For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Væ vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quæ non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
Woe to you. For you are like hidden graves, and the people who walk over them do not know it."
45 Respondens autem quidam ex legisperitis, ait illi: Magister, hæc dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
One of the Law scholars answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."
46 At ille ait: Et vobis legisperitis væ: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quæ portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
He said, "Woe to you Law scholars also. For you load people with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47 Væ vobis, qui ædificatis monumenta prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
Woe to you. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem ædificatis eorum sepulchra.
So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos prophetas, et apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 ut inquiratur sanguis omnium prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista,
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariæ, qui periit inter altare et ædem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione.
from the blood of Habeil to the blood of Zekharya, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Væ vobis, legisperitis, quia tulistis clavem scientiæ: ipsi non introistis, et eos qui introibant, prohibuistis.
Woe to you Law scholars. For you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."
53 Cum autem hæc ad illos diceret, cœperunt pharisæi et legisperiti graviter insistere, et os ejus opprimere de multis,
And when he left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to provoke him to speak about many things;
54 insidiantes ei, et quærentes aliquid capere de ore ejus, ut accusarent eum.
lying in wait for him, seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
