< Lucam 11 >

1 Et factum est: cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis eius ad eum: Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Ioannes discipulos suos.
And it came to pass as he was in a certain place praying, that when he ceased, a certain man of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.
2 Et ait illis: Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum.
And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name. May thy kingdom come, may thy will happen on the earth as also in heaven.
3 Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
Give us our bread sufficient for each day.
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 ourselves also forgive every man who is indebted to us. And bring 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,
And he said to them, Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum.
since a friend arrived from the road to me, and I do not have what I would set before him,
7 Et ille de intus respondens dicat: Noli mihi molestus esse, iam ostrium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi.
and that man from inside, having answered, would say, Do not cause toils for me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I am not able, after getting up, to give thee?
8 Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans: dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus eius sit, propter improbitatem tamen eius surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios.
I say to you, though he will not give him, after getting up, because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, having awaken, he will give him as many as he needs.
9 Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quærite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
And I say to you, ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and ye will find. Knock, and it will be opened.
10 Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quærit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and 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?
And which father of you, if the son will ask a loaf, will give him a stone, or also if a fish, in place of a fish will give him a serpent?
12 Aut si petierit ovum: numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
Or if he should ask for an egg, will he 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 ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more the Father from heaven will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
14 Et erat eiiciens dæmonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecisset dæmonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratæ sunt turbæ.
And he was casting out a demon, and it was mute. And it happened when the demon was gone out, the mute man spoke. And the multitudes marveled,
15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum eiicit dæmonia.
but some of them said, He casts out the demons by Beelzebub, ruler of the demons.
16 Et alii tentantes, signum de cælo quærebant ab eo.
And others, challenging, sought from him a sign from the sky.
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 that was divided against itself is made desolate, and a house against a house falls.
18 Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum eius? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me eiicere dæmonia.
And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? Because ye say that I cast out the demons by Beelzebub.
19 Si autem ego in Beelzebub eiicio dæmonia: filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
And if I cast out the demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Because of this they will be your judges.
20 Porro si in digito Dei eiicio dæmonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
But if by a finger of God I cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt ea, quæ possidet.
When the fully armed strong man guards his palace, the things possessed by him are in peace,
22 Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma eius auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia eius distribuet.
but when a stronger than he comes, after defeating him, he takes away his full armor in which he trusted, and divides his booty.
23 Qui non est mecum, contra me est: et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit.
He who is not with me is against me, and 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.
When the unclean spirit departs out of the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest. And not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came out.
25 Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
And when it comes, it 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 peiora prioribus.
Then it goes, and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having enter in, it dwells there. And the last state of that man 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.
And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman, having lifted up her voice out of the crowd, said to him, Blessed is the belly that bore thee, and the breasts that thou suckled.
28 At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.
But he said, Blessed rather, 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 Ionæ prophetæ.
And when the multitudes gathered together he began to say, This generation is evil. They seek a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah, the prophet.
30 Nam sicut fuit Ionas signum Ninivitis: ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of man will be to this generation.
31 Regina Austri surget in iudicio cum viris generationis huius, et condemnabit illos: quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis: et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
The queen of the south will awake in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 Viri Ninivitæ surgent in iudicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam: quia pœnitentiam egerunt ad prædicationem Ionæ, et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio: sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant.
And no man, having lit a lamp, puts it in a concealed place, nor under the bushel, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter 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 thy body is the eye. Therefore, when thine eye is sound, thy whole body is also bright, but when it is bad, thy body is also dark.
35 Vide ergo ne lumen, quod in te est, tenebræ sint.
Watch therefore the light in thee not be 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 thy whole body is bright, not having any part dark, the whole will be bright, as when the lamp illuminates thee by the radiance.
37 Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam Pharisæus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit.
Now as he spoke a certain Pharisee asks him that he might dine with him. And having entered in, he sat down.
38 Pharisæus autem cœpit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
And when the Pharisee saw, he marveled that he did not first wash 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.
And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your interior is full of plundering and wickedness.
40 Stulti! Nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id, quod deintus est, fecit?
Ye foolish men, did not he who made the outside also make the inside?
41 Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
But give compassion, things that are inside, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 Sed væ vobis Pharisæis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et præteritis iudicium, et charitatem Dei: hæc autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
But woe to you Pharisees! Because ye tithe mint and rue and every plant, and pass by justice and the love of God. It is necessary to do these things, and not to neglect those things.
43 Væ vobis Pharisæis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
Woe to you Pharisees! Because ye love the place of honor 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 scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye are like the unseen sepulchers, and the men who walk over them do not know.
45 Respondens autem quidam ex legis peritis, ait illi: Magister, hæc dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
And having answered, a certain man of the lawyers says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou rebuke us also.
46 At ille ait: Et vobis legis peritis væ: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quæ portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
And he said, Woe also to you lawyers! Because ye load men with burdens difficult to bear, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Væ vobis, qui ædificatis monumenta Prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
Woe to you! Because ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48 Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem ædificatis eorum sepulchra.
Consequently, ye testify and approve the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos Prophetas, et Apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
Because of this 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,
so that the blood of all the prophets that 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 Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Væ vobis legis peritis, quia tulistis clavem scientiæ, ipsi non introistis, et eos, qui introibant, prohibuistis.
Woe to you lawyers! Because ye took away the key of knowledge. Ye did not enter in yourselves, and ye hindered those who were entering in.
53 Cum autem hæc ad illos diceret, cœperunt Pharisæi, et Legisperiti graviter insistere, et os eius opprimere de multis,
And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things,
54 insidiantes ei, et quærentes aliquid capere de ore eius, ut accusarent eum.
waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.
