< Luke 11 >

1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
AND it was that while he was praying in a certain place, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Our Lord, teach us to pray as also Juchanon taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Jeshu said to them, When you pray, thus be saying, Our Father who (art) in the heavens, be sanctified thy name. Come thy kingdom. Be done thy will as in the heavens also upon earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
Give to us the bread of our need every day,
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who are indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
And he said to them, Who of you that has a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him, My friend, lend me three loaves,
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
because a friend has come to me from the way, and I have nothing to set to him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
and that friend from within shall answer and say unto him, Disturb me not, for the door is shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give to you.
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
I tell you if for friendship's sake he will not give him, (yet) because of importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
For what father (is there) among you who, if his son shall ask bread, will reach to him a stone? or should he ask a fish, how instead of a fish will he reach to him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
or if an egg he shall ask, will he a scorpion reach to him?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
And if you, who are evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from the heavens give the Spirit of Holiness to those who ask him!
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
AND he was casting out a demon which was dumb; and when he had cast out the demon, the dumb spake, and the multitudes wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
But some from them said, By Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, he casteth out devils;
16 And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.
while others, tempting him, the sign from heaven demanded of him.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
But Jeshu, who knew their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom which is divided against itself will be desolated; and a house that against its own self is divided falleth;
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
and if Satana against himself be divided, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, your sons, by what do they cast (them) out? On account of this they shall be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
But if by the finger of Aloha I cast out devils, there hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
When the strong one armed keepeth his court, his possession is in peace;
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
but if a stronger than he shall come, he shall overcome him; all his armour he taketh on which he depended, and he divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not collect with me, by scattering he scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
The unclean spirit, when he hath gone out from a son of man, goeth about through regions which have no waters in them, because he seeketh to him rest. And when he cannot find it he saith, I will return to my house from whence I went out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.
And when he cometh he findeth it swept and ornamented.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first.
Then he goeth, taketh seven other spirits who are more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last of that man is worse than his first.
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
AND while he spake these words, a certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked!
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
He said to her, Blessed are they who hear the word of Aloha and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
And when the assemblies had gathered together, he began to say, This evil generation requireth a sign; but no sign shall be given to it save the sign of Jaunon the prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
For as was Jaunon a sign to the Ninvoyee, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; for she came from the confines of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelemun, and, lo, a greater than Shelemun is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jaunon, and, lo, a greater than Jaunon is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
No man lighteth a lamp and setteth it in a secret (place) or under a measure, but upon a candlestick, that they who enter may see the light of it.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
The lamp of thy body is thine eye; when therefore thine eye is simple, thy whole body also will be illuminated; but if it be evil, thy body also will be darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Beware, therefore, lest the light that is in thee become darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
But if thy whole body be illuminated, and no part whatever in it be darkness, the whole will be light, as when a lamp with its flame enlighteneth thee.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
AND as he was speaking, a certain Pharisha requested of him to dine with him, and he went in to recline.
38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
But he, the Pharisha, when he saw him, wondered that he had not first washed before his dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
But Jeshu said to him, Now you Pharishee cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but within you are full of rapine and wickedness.
40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
Wanting in understanding! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
But of whatever there is, give in alms, and, behold, every thing is clean to you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
But woe to you, Pharishee! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of Aloha. These hath it behoved you to do, and those not to have omitted.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Woe to you, Pharishee! for you love the chief seats in the assemblies, and the salutation in the public places.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them.]
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! for you are like tombs that are not known, and men walk upon them, and do not know.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
And one of the Sophree answered and said to him, Doctor, while you say these things, you vilify us also!
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
But he said, Also unto you, Sophree, woe! because you lade men with heavy burdens, and you with one of your fingers will not touch those burdens.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed:
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
thus you bear witness that you consent in the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute:
ON this account also Wisdom saith, Behold, I will send to them prophets and apostles; and of them they will persecute and kill;
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
that the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the creation of the world may be required from this generation.
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
From the blood of Habil unto the blood of Zakaria who was killed between the temple and the altar: yes, I tell you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Woe to you, Sophree; for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you enter not in (yourselves), and they who are entering you prohibit.
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
And while he spoke these (words) to them, the Sophree and Pharishee began to be displeased, and they were wrathful, and controverted his words, and enticed him on many (points),
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
seeking to lay hold on something from his mouth that they might be able to accuse him.
