Lucam 13
1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nunciantes illi de Galilæis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.
There were present also at the same time some who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Et respondens dixit illis: Putatis quod hi Galilæi præ omnibus Galilæis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?
And he answering said to them, Do ye think that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered such things?
3 Non, dico vobis: sed nisi pœnitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Siloe, et occidit eos: putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint præter omnes homines habitantes in Ierusalem?
Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis: sed si pœnitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.
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 also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, 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?
Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and have found none; cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora:
And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum: sin autem, in futurum succides eam.
and if it bear fruit hereafter, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum Sabbatis.
And he 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.
And lo! there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent together, and wholly unable to lift herself up.
12 Quam cum videret Iesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.
And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art set free from thy infirmity.
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.
And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she stood upright, and gave glory to God.
14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia Sabbato curasset Iesus: 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 answering, being filled with indignation because Jesus had performed a cure on the sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it is proper to work; on those therefore come and be cured, 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?
But the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away and water him?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahæ, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die Sabbati?
And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo! for eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
17 Et cum hæc diceret, erubescebant omnes adversarii eius: et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quæ gloriose fiebant ab eo.
And on his speaking thus, all his adversaries were ashamed; 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 therefore, To 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 eius.
It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.
20 Et iterum dixit: Cui simile æstimabo regnum Dei?
And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Et ibat per civitates, et castella docens, et iter faciens in Ierusalem.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam: Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos:
And one said to him, Lord, are there few that are to be saved? And he said to them,
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam: quia multi, dico vobis, quærent intrare, et non poterunt.
Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to 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 shall have risen, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I know not whence ye are;
26 tunc incipietis dicere: Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets.
27 Et dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis: discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.
And he will say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 Ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium: cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Iacob, et omnes Prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth there, when ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.
29 Et venient ab Oriente, et Occidente, et Aquilone, et Austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
And from the east and the west and the north and the south will men come, and take their places at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi.
And lo! 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.
In the same hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Depart, and go hence; for Herod designeth to kill thee.
32 Et ait illis: Ite, et dicite vulpi illi: Ecce eiicio dæmonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor.
And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Lo! I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I make an end.
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare: quia non capit prophetam perire extra Ierusalem.
But to-day and to-morrow and the next day I must go on; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.
34 Ierusalem, Ierusalem, 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! that killeth the prophets, and stoneth those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis: Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
Lo! your house is abandoned to you. I declare to you, Ye will not see me until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
