Lucam 13
1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nuntiantes illi de Galilæis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.
Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Et respondens dixit illis: Putatis quod hi Galilæi præ omnibus Galilæis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?
Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these 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.
I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
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 in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis: sed si pœnitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem: Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quærens fructum in illa, et non invenit.
He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking 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?
He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora,
He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum: sin autem, in futurum succides eam.
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis.
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11 Et ecce mulier, quæ habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo: et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere.
Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
12 Quam cum videret Jesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.
When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.
He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified 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.
The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus, dixit: Hypocritæ, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a præsepio, et ducit adaquare?
Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahæ, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati?
Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 Et cum hæc diceret, erubescebant omnes adversarii ejus: et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quæ gloriose fiebant ab eo.
As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Dicebat ergo: Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile æstimabo illud?
He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? 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 grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
20 Et iterum dixit: Cui simile æstimabo regnum Dei?
Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.
It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
22 Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Jerusalem.
He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam: Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos:
One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam: quia multi, dico vobis, quærent intrare, et non poterunt.
“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
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 has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26 tunc incipietis dicere: Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
Then you will begin to say, ‘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.
He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come 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 and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
29 Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi.
Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who 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 came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for 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 and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare: quia non capit prophetam perire extra Jerusalem.
Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would 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, you 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 own brood under her wings, and you refused!
35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis: Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
