Lucam 18
1 dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:
2 dicens iudex quidam erat in quadam civitate qui Deum non timebat et hominem non verebatur
saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.
3 vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa et veniebat ad eum dicens vindica me de adversario meo
And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.
4 et nolebat per multum tempus post haec autem dixit intra se et si Deum non timeo nec hominem revereor
And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
5 tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua vindicabo illam ne in novissimo veniens suggillet me
nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.
6 ait autem Dominus audite quid iudex iniquitatis dicit
And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith:
7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte et patientiam habebit in illis
and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.
8 dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum verumtamen Filius hominis veniens putas inveniet fidem in terra
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
9 dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam iusti et aspernabantur ceteros parabolam istam
And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
10 duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent unus Pharisaeus et alter publicanus
Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a pharisee and the other a publican.
11 Pharisaeus stans haec apud se orabat Deus gratias ago tibi quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum raptores iniusti adulteri vel ut etiam hic publicanus
The pharisee standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican.
12 ieiuno bis in sabbato decimas do omnium quae possideo
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 et publicanus a longe stans nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare sed percutiebat pectus suum dicens Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori
But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 dico vobis descendit hic iustificatus in domum suam ab illo quia omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur et qui se humiliat exaltabitur
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 adferebant autem ad illum et infantes ut eos tangeret quod cum viderent discipuli increpabant illos
And they brought to Him infants also, that He might touch them: and his disciples seeing it rebuked them.
16 Iesus autem convocans illos dixit sinite pueros venire ad me et nolite eos vetare talium est enim regnum Dei
But Jesus called them to Him and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 amen dico vobis quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer non intrabit in illud
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter into it.
18 et interrogavit eum quidam princeps dicens magister bone quid faciens vitam aeternam possidebo (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 dixit autem ei Iesus quid me dicis bonum nemo bonus nisi solus Deus
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God.
20 mandata nosti non occides non moechaberis non furtum facies non falsum testimonium dices honora patrem tuum et matrem
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 qui ait haec omnia custodivi a iuventute mea
And he said, all these have I kept from my youth.
22 quo audito Iesus ait ei adhuc unum tibi deest omnia quaecumque habes vende et da pauperibus et habebis thesaurum in caelo et veni sequere me
But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 his ille auditis contristatus est quia dives erat valde
But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 videns autem illum Iesus tristem factum dixit quam difficile qui pecunias habent in regnum Dei intrabunt
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?
25 facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 et dixerunt qui audiebant et quis potest salvus fieri
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 ait illis quae inpossibilia sunt apud homines possibilia sunt apud Deum
But He answered, Things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 ait autem Petrus ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te
Then said Peter, Behold, we have quitted all, and followed Thee.
29 qui dixit eis amen dico vobis nemo est qui reliquit domum aut parentes aut fratres aut uxorem aut filios propter regnum Dei
And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 adsumpsit autem Iesus duodecim et ait illis ecce ascendimus Hierosolyma et consummabuntur omnia quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis
And He took the twelve with Him and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 tradetur enim gentibus et inludetur et flagellabitur et conspuetur
For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and insulted, and abused, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and put Him to death:
33 et postquam flagellaverint occident eum et die tertia resurget
and the third day He shall rise again.
34 et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis et non intellegebant quae dicebantur
But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.
35 factum est autem cum adpropinquaret Hiericho caecus quidam sedebat secus viam mendicans
And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.
36 et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem interrogabat quid hoc esset
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 dixerunt autem ei quod Iesus Nazarenus transiret
And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.
38 et clamavit dicens Iesu Fili David miserere mei
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have compassion on me.
39 et qui praeibant increpabant eum ut taceret ipse vero multo magis clamabat Fili David miserere mei
And they, that went before, rebuked him, that he might hold his peace, but he cried out the more, O Son of David, have pity on me.
40 stans autem Iesus iussit illum adduci ad se et cum adpropinquasset interrogavit illum
So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,
41 dicens quid tibi vis faciam at ille dixit Domine ut videam
He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
42 et Iesus dixit illi respice fides tua te salvum fecit
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 et confestim vidit et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum et omnis plebs ut vidit dedit laudem Deo
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
