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.
And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to 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.
And he said to them, When you say your prayers, say, Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come.
3 Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie.
Give us every day bread for our needs.
4 Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.
May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us. And let us not be put to the test.
5 Et ait ad illos: Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi: Amice, commoda mihi tres panes,
And he said to them, Which of you, having a friend, would go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, Friend, let me have three cakes of bread;
6 quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum,
Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put 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, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to 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, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.
9 Et ego dico vobis: Petite, et dabitur vobis; quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis.
And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.
10 Omnis enim qui petit, accipit: et qui quaerit, invenit: et pulsanti aperietur.
For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
11 Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi? Aut piscem: numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi?
And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?
12 Aut si petierit ovum: numquid porriget illi scorpionem?
Or for an egg, will 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, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?
14 Et erat eiiciens daemonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum eiecisset daemonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratae sunt turbae.
And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.
15 Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt: In Beelzebub principe daemoniorum eiicit daemonia.
But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.
16 Et alii tentantes, signum de caelo quaerebant ab eo.
And others, testing him, were looking for a sign from heaven from him.
17 Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis: Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet.
But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.
18 Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum eius? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me eiicere daemonia.
If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.
19 Si autem ego in Beelzebub eiicio daemonia: filii vestri in quo eiiciunt? Ideo ipsi iudices vestri erunt.
And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges.
20 Porro si in digito Dei eiicio daemonia: profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei.
But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
21 Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt omnia, quae possidet.
When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe:
22 Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma eius auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia eius distribuet.
But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.
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 will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.
24 Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quaerens requiem: et non inveniens dicit: Revertar in domum meam unde exivi.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.
25 Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam.
And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.
26 Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius peiora prioribus.
Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is 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 it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.
28 At ille dixit: Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei, et custodiunt illud.
But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.
29 Turbis autem concurrentibus coepit dicere: Generatio haec, generatio nequam est: signum quaerit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Ionae prophetae.
And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
30 Nam sicut fuit Ionas signum Ninivitis: ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of 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 come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something 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 come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something 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 man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, 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 light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark.
35 Vide ergo ne lumen, quod in te est, tenebrae sint.
So take care that the light which is in you is not dark.
36 Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te.
If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.
37 Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam Pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se. Iesus autem ingressus recubuit.
Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal.
38 Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.
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.
And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil.
40 Stulti nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id, quod deintus est, fecit?
O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside?
41 Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam: et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then 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 a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.
43 Vae vobis Pharisaeis, qui diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place.
44 Vae vobis, qui estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.
45 Respondens autem quidam ex Legisperitis, ait illi: Magister, haec dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis.
And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.
46 At ille ait: Et vobis Legisperitis vae: quia oneratis homines oneribus, quae portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas.
And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.
47 Vae vobis, qui aedificatis monumenta Prophetarum: patres autem vestri occiderunt illos.
A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death.
48 Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum: quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem aedificatis eorum sepulchra.
So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.
49 Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit: Mittam ad illos Prophetas, et Apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur:
For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;
50 ut inquiratur sanguis omnium Prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista,
So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days;
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 Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.
52 Vae vobis Legisperitis, qui tulistis clavem scientiae, ipsi non introistis, et eos, qui introibant, prohibuistis.
A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.
53 Cum autem haec ad illos diceret, coeperunt Pharisaei, et Legisperiti graviter insistere, et os eius opprimere de multis,
And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;
54 insidiantes ei, et quaerentes aliquid capere de ore eius, ut accusarent eum.
And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.
