Lucam 13
1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nuntiantes illi de Galilæis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.
Now at that time there were some present who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Herod had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Et respondens dixit illis: Putatis quod hi Galilæi præ omnibus Galilæis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Do you suppose that those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3 Non, dico vobis: sed nisi pœnitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!
4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Siloë, et occidit eos: putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint præter omnes homines habitantes in Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them; do you suppose they were worse offenders than all others living in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis: sed si pœnitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
Not at all, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all likewise perish!”
6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem: Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quærens fructum in illa, et non invenit.
Then He told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
7 Dixit autem ad cultorem vineæ: Ecce anni tres sunt ex quo venio quærens fructum in ficulnea hac, et non invenio: succide ergo illam: ut quid etiam terram occupat?
So he said to the gardener: ‘Look, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have not found any. Cut it down; just why must it waste the soil?’
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora,
But in answer he said to him, ‘Sir, let it be this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer,
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum: sin autem, in futurum succides eam.
in case it produces fruit—but if not, then cut it down.’”
10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis.
Now as Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
11 Et ecce mulier, quæ habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo: et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere.
He saw a woman there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years—she was bent over and could not straighten up.
12 Quam cum videret Jesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.
So He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity!”
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.
He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.
14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia sabbato curasset Jesus, dicebat turbæ: Sex dies sunt in quibus oportet operari: in his ergo venite, et curamini, et non in die sabbati.
But the ruler of the synagogue reacted with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd, “There are six days in which one should work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath.”
15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus, dixit: Hypocritæ, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a præsepio, et ducit adaquare?
So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahæ, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati?
So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan kept bound during eighteen long years, be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
17 Et cum hæc diceret, erubescebant omnes adversarii ejus: et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quæ gloriose fiebant ab eo.
When He said these things all His adversaries were put to shame, while all the crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
18 Dicebat ergo: Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile æstimabo illud?
Then He said: “What is the Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
19 Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam: et volucres cæli requieverunt in ramis ejus.
It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden; and it grew and became a sizable tree, and the birds of the air perched on its branches.”
20 Et iterum dixit: Cui simile æstimabo regnum Dei?
Again He said: “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Jerusalem.
He was traveling through various towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam: Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos:
Then someone said to Him, “Lord, are the ones being saved few?” So He said to them:
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam: quia multi, dico vobis, quærent intrare, et non poterunt.
“Exert yourselves to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, will try to enter and not manage it.
25 Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes: Domine, aperi nobis: et respondens dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis:
When once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ and in answer he will say to you, ‘I do not know you; where are you from?’
26 tunc incipietis dicere: Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
then you will begin by saying, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 Et dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis: discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.
But he will say: ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
28 Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium: cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et omnes prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.
“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves being thrown out.
29 Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
They will even come from the east, the west, the north and the south, and recline in the Kingdom of God.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi.
Yes indeed, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam pharisæorum, dicentes illi: Exi, et vade hinc: quia Herodes vult te occidere.
On that same day some Pharisees approached saying to Him, “Get out of here and go away, because Herod wants to kill you.”
32 Et ait illis: Ite, et dicite vulpi illi: Ecce ejicio dæmonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor.
He said to them: “Go tell that ‘fox’, ‘Take note, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third I will be perfected.’
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare: quia non capit prophetam perire extra Jerusalem.
Nevertheless I must keep going today and tomorrow and the day following, because it is not credible that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem!
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quæ occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te, quoties volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti?
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, she who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis: Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
So then, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you that you will definitely not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
