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.
Then it happened, when He finished praying in a certain place, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2 Et ait illis: Cum oratis, dicite: Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo, et in terra.
So He said to them: “Whenever you pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, your name must be reverenced. Your Kingdom must come. Your will must 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.
Also, forgive us our sins, because we also forgive everyone indebted to us. And, do not lead us into testing, but deliver us from the malignant one.”
5 Et ait ad illos: Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: Amice, commoda mihi tres panes,
Then He said to them: “Who among you will have a friend and 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,
because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7 et ille deintus respondens dicat: Noli mihi molestus esse, iam ostium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili: non possum surgere, et dare tibi.
and he will answer from within and say, ‘Don't bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you?’
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, even if he will not get up and give 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; quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
“So I say to 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 quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
Because everyone 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 among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
12 Aut si petierit ovum: numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
Or if he asks 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 coelestis de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
14 Et erat eiiciens daemonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecisset daemonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratae sunt turbae.
Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled.
15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe daemoniorum eiicit daemonia.
But some of them said, “It's by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons.”
16 Et alii tentantes, signum de caelo quaerebant ab eo.
While others kept asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing.
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, and a house divided against itself falls.
18 Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum eius? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me eiicere daemonia.
So if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand?—since you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul!
19 Si autem ego in Beelzebub eiicio daemonia: filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
Further, if I am casting out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20 Porro si in digito Dei eiicio daemonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt omnia, quae possidet.
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his possessions are safe.
22 Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma eius auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia eius distribuet.
But when someone stronger than he attacks, he overcomes him, takes away all his armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils.
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, quaerens requiem: et non inveniens dicit: Revertar in domum meam unde exivi.
“Whenever an unclean spirit goes out from a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest; and not finding any it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
25 Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
And coming 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 picks up seven other spirits, more malignant than itself, and they go in and live there; so the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 Factum est autem, cum haec diceret: extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi: Beatus venter, qui te portavit, et ubera, quae suxisti.
And then, as He was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!”
28 At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!”
29 Turbis autem concurrentibus coepit dicere: Generatio haec, generatio nequam est: signum quaerit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae.
Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say: “This is a malignant generation. It keeps wanting a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
30 Nam sicut fuit Ionas signum Ninivitis: ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of the Man be to this generation.
31 Regina Austri surget in iudicio cum viris generationis huius, et condemnabit illos: quia venit a finibus terrae audire sapientiam Salomonis: et ecce plus quam Salomon hic.
The queen of the South will be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.
32 Viri Ninivitae surgent in iudicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam: quia poenitentiam egerunt ad praedicationem Ionae, et ecce plus quam Ionas hic.
The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and indeed 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.
“No one, having lit a lamp, puts it in hiding or under a basket, but on its stand, so 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, whenever your ‘eye’ is good, your whole body is illuminated. But when it is malignant, your body also is darkened.
35 Vide ergo ne lumen, quod in te est, tenebrae sint.
So see to it that the ‘light’ in you 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 then your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, the whole will be illuminated, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
37 Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam Pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se. Iesus autem ingressus recubuit.
Now as He spoke, a certain Pharisee invited Him to eat with him. So He went in and reclined.
38 Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
But the Pharisee, noticing that He did not first wash before the meal, was critical.
39 Et ait Dominus ad illum: Nunc vos Pharisaei quod deforis est calicis, et catini, mundatis: quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina, et iniquitate.
So the Lord said to him: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but your inside is full of greed and malignancy.
40 Stulti nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id, quod deintus est, fecit?
Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
41 Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 Sed vae vobis Pharisaeis, qui decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et praeteritis iudicium, et charitatem Dei: haec autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
“But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.
43 Vae vobis Pharisaeis, qui diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Vae vobis, qui estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 Respondens autem quidam ex Legisperitis, ait illi: Magister, haec dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 At ille ait: Et vobis Legisperitis vae: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quae portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Vae vobis, qui aedificatis monumenta Prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra.
Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you restore their tombs.
49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos Prophetas, et Apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
Also, because of this ‘the wisdom of God’ said: ‘I will send 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 which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariae, qui periit inter altare, et aedem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 Vae vobis Legisperitis, qui tulistis clavem scientiae, ipsi non introistis, et eos, qui introibant, prohibuistis.
Woe to you lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering!”
53 Cum autem haec ad illos diceret, coeperunt Pharisaei, et Legisperiti graviter insistere, et os eius opprimere de multis,
Well when He had said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge Him on vehemently and to cross-examine Him about many things,
54 insidiantes ei, et quaerentes aliquid capere de ore eius, ut accusarent eum.
lying in wait for Him, trying to catch Him in something He might say, so that they might accuse Him.
