< Lucam 6 >

1 Factum est autem in sabbato secundo primo, cum transiret per sata, vellebant discipuli eius spicas, et manducabant confricantes manibus.
Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Quidam autem Pharisaeorum, dicebant illis: Quid facitis quod non licet in sabbatis?
But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”
3 Et respondens Iesus ad eos, dixit: Nec hoc legistis quod fecit David, cum esurisset ipse, et qui cum illo erant?
Jesus, answering them, said, “Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,
4 quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis sumpsit, et manducavit, et dedit his, qui cum ipso erant: quos non licet manducare nisi tantum sacerdotibus?
how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”
5 Et dicebat illis: Quia Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.
He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Factum est autem in alio sabbato, ut intraret in synagogam, et doceret. Et erat ibi homo, et manus eius dextra erat arida.
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
7 Observabant autem Scribae, et Pharisaei si in sabbato curaret: ut invenirent unde accusarent eum.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him.
8 Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum: et ait homini, qui habebat manum aridam: Surge, et sta in medium. Et surgens stetit.
But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Rise up and stand in the middle.” He arose and stood.
9 Ait autem ad illos Iesus: Interrogo vos si licet sabbatis benefacere, an male: animam salvam facere, an perdere?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?”
10 Et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit: et restituta est manus eius.
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.
11 Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent de Iesu.
But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
12 Factum est autem in illis diebus, exiit in montem orare, et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei.
In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13 Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos: et elegit duodecim ex ipsis (quos et Apostolos nominavit)
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14 Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem eius, Iacobum, et Ioannem, Philippum, et Bartholomaeum,
Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Matthaeum, et Thomam, Iacobum Alphaei, et Simonem, qui vocatur zelotes,
Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;
16 et Iudam Iacobi, et Iudam Iscariotem, qui fuit proditor.
Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
17 Et descendens cum illis, stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum eius, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Iudaea, et Ierusalem, et maritima, et Tyri, et Sidonis,
He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur.
as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
19 Et omnis turba quaerebat eum tangere: quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes.
All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
20 Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat: Beati pauperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei.
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
21 Beati, qui nunc esuritis: quia saturabimini. Beati, qui nunc fletis: quia ridebitis.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Beati eritis cum vos oderint homines, et cum separaverint vos, et exprobraverint, et eiicerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis.
Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
23 Gaudete in illa die, et exultate: ecce enim merces vestra multa est in caelo: secundum haec enim faciebant Prophetis patres eorum.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
24 Verumtamen vae vobis divitibus, qui habetis consolationem vestram.
“But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
25 Vae vobis, qui saturati estis: quia esurietis. Vae vobis, qui ridetis nunc: quia lugebitis et flebitis.
Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Vae cum benedixerint vobis omnes homines: secundum haec enim faciebant pseudoprophetis patres eorum.
Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27 Sed vobis dico, qui auditis: Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his, qui oderunt vos.
“But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Benedicite maledicentibus vobis, et orate pro calumniantibus vos.
bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Et qui te percutit in maxillam unam, praebe illi et alteram. Et ab eo, qui aufert tibi vestimentum, etiam tunicam noli prohibere.
To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also.
30 Omni autem petenti te, tribue: et qui aufert quae tua sunt, ne repetas.
Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 Et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis similiter.
“As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
32 Et si diligitis eos, qui vos diligunt, quae vobis est gratia? nam et peccatores diligentes se diligunt.
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 Et si benefeceritis his, qui vobis benefaciunt; quae vobis est gratia? siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34 Et si mutuum dederitis his, a quibus speratis recipere; quae gratia est vobis? nam et peccatores peccatoribus foenerantur, ut recipiant aequalia.
If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
35 Verumtamen diligite inimicos vestros: benefacite, et mutuum date, nihil inde sperantes: et erit merces vestra multa, et eritis filii Altissimi, quia ipse benignus est super ingratos et malos.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
36 Estote ergo misericordes sicut et Pater vester misericors est.
“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
37 Nolite iudicare, et non iudicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini. Dimitte, et dimittemini.
Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
38 Date, et dabitur vobis: mensuram bonam, et confertam, et coagitatam, et supereffluentem dabunt in sinum vestrum. Eadem quippe mensura, qua mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you.”
39 Dicebat autem illis et similitudinem: Numquid potest caecus caecum ducere? nonne ambo in foveam cadunt?
He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit?
40 Non est discipulus super magistrum: perfectus autem omnis erit, si sit sicut magister eius.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quae in oculo tuo est, non consideras?
Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
42 Aut quomodo potes dicere fratri tuo: Frater sine eiiciam festucam de oculo tuo: ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns? Hypocrita eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo: et tunc perspicies ut educas festucam de oculo fratris tui.
Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.
43 Non est enim arbor bona, quae facit fructus malos: neque arbor mala, faciens fructum bonum.
“For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
44 Unaquaeque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur. Neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus: neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
45 Bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert malum. Ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46 Quid autem vocatis me Domine, Domine: et non facitis quae dico?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say?
47 Omnis, qui venit ad me, et audit sermones meos, et facit eos: ostendam vobis cui similis sit:
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like.
48 similis est homini aedificanti domum, qui fodit in altum, et posuit fundamentum supra petram. inundatione autem facta, illisum est flumen domui illi, et non potuit eam movere: fundata enim erat supra petram.
He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.
49 Qui autem audit, et non facit: similis est homini aedificanti domum suam supra terram sine fundamento: in quam illisus est fluvius, et continuo cecidit: et facta est ruina domus illius magna.
But he who hears and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
