Luc 6
1 C'hoarvezout a reas, e-pad an eil-kentañ sabad, ma tremene Jezuz dre barkeier ed; e ziskibien a ziframme tañvouezennoù, hag, o vezañ o gwasket en o daouarn, e tebrent anezho.
One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
2 Hiniennoù eus ar farizianed a lavaras dezhañ: Perak e rit ar pezh n'eo ket aotreet ober deizioù ar sabad?
Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
3 Neuze Jezuz, o kemer ar gomz, a lavaras dezho: N'hoc'h eus ket lennet ar pezh a reas David hag ar re a oa gantañ, p'o devoa naon?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
4 Penaos ez eas e ti Doue, e kemeras hag e tebras ar baraoù a ginnig, hag o roas memes d'ar re a oa gantañ, petra bennak ne c'helle o debriñ nemet ar veleien hepken?
David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
5 Hag e lavaras dezho: Mab an den a zo mestr memes war ar sabad.
Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
6 C'hoarvezout a reas ivez, un deiz sabad all, ma'z eas er sinagogenn, ha ma kelenne enni; hag e oa eno un den, ma oa disec'het e zorn dehou.
Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
7 Ar skribed hag ar farizianed a selle outañ, evit gwelout hag eñ a yac'hafe deiz ar sabad, evit kaout peadra d'e damall.
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
8 Met evel ma'c'h anaveze o soñjezonoù, e lavaras d'an den en devoa an dorn disec'het: Sav hag en em zalc'h aze er c'hreiz. Eñ, o vezañ savet, en em zalc'has en e sav.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
9 Jezuz a lavaras dezho eta: Un dra a c'houlennin ouzhoc'h: hag aotreet eo, e deizioù ar sabad, ober vad pe droug, saveteiñ un den pe e lezel da goll?
Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
10 Neuze, o sellout ouzh an holl re a oa en-dro dezhañ, e lavaras d'an den: Astenn da zorn. Ober a reas, hag e zorn a zeuas yac'h [evel egile].
[They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
11 Int a voe leuniet a fulor, hag en em guzulient war ar pezh a c'helljent ober da Jezuz.
But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
12 En amzer-se, Jezuz a yeas war ar menez evit pediñ, hag e tremenas an noz holl o pediñ Doue.
About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
13 Pa voe deuet ar beure, e c'halvas e ziskibien, hag e tibabas daouzek anezho a c'halvas ebestel:
The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
14 Simon, ma roas an anv a Bêr dezhañ; Andrev e vreur; Jakez ha Yann; Filip ha Bartolome;
They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Mazhev ha Tomaz; Jakez mab Alfe, ha Simon anvet Gredus;
Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
16 Jud kar da Jakez; ha Judaz Iskariod, a oa an hini en gwerzhas.
Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
17 O vezañ neuze diskennet ganto, e chomas en ur blaenenn gant e vandenn diskibien, hag ul lod bras a dud eus Judea, eus Jeruzalem, hag eus ar vro arvorek Tir ha Sidon. Deuet e oant evit e glevout hag evit bezañ yac'haet eus o c'hleñvedoù.
[Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
18 Ar re a oa dalc'het gant speredoù hudur a oa ivez yac'haet.
They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
19 Hag an holl bobl a glaske stekiñ outañ, abalamour ma teue anezhañ un nerzh a yac'hae holl.
Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
20 Neuze Jezuz a savas e zaoulagad war e ziskibien, o lavarout: Eürus oc'h, c'hwi a zo paour, rak rouantelezh Doue a zo deoc'h!
He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
21 Eürus oc'h, c'hwi hoc'h eus naon bremañ, rak leuniet e viot! Eürus oc'h, c'hwi a ouel bremañ, rak karget e viot gant levenez!
[God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
22 Eürus e viot, pa gasaio an dud ac'hanoc'h, pa gasint kuit ac'hanoc'h eus o zouez, pa lavarint dismegañs deoc'h ha pa daolint hoc'h anv evel fall, abalamour de Vab an den!
[God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
23 En em laouenait en amzer-se, ha tridit gant ar joa, rak ho kopr a vo bras en neñv, rak evel-se o deus graet o zadoù d'ar brofeded.
When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
24 Met gwalleur deoc'h-hu, tud pinvidik, rak c'hwi hoc'h eus bet ho kopr!
But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
25 Gwalleur deoc'h-hu, tud leuniet, rak c'hwi ho po naon! Gwalleur deoc'h-hu, ar re a c'hoarzh bremañ, rak c'hwi en em c'hlac'haro hag a ouelo!
There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
26 Gwalleur deoc'h-hu pa lavaro an holl dud vad ac'hanoc'h, rak o zadoù o deus graet evel-se e-keñver ar fals-profeded!
When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
27 Met me a lavar deoc'h-hu, c'hwi hag am selaou: Karit hoc'h enebourien, grit vad d'ar re a gasa ac'hanoc'h,
“But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
28 bennigit ar re a villig ac'hanoc'h, ha pedit evit ar re a wallgomz ouzhoc'h.
[Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
29 D'an hini a sko ac'hanout war ur jod, tro eben outañ. D'an hini a zilam da vantell diganit, laosk ivez gantañ da doneg.
If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
30 Ro da biv bennak a c'houlenn diganit, ha mar fell da unan bennak dilemel diganit ar pezh a zo dit, n'en adc'houlenn ket.
Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
31 Ar pezh a fell deoc'h e rafe an dud deoc'h, grit ivez anezhañ dezho.
In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
32 Ma ne garit nemet ar re ho kar, peseurt trugarez a dleer deoc'h? An dud a vuhez fall a gar ivez ar re o c'har.
If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
33 Ma ne rit vad nemet d'ar re a ra vad deoc'h, peseurt trugarez a dleer deoc'h? An dud a vuhez fall a ra ar memes tra.
If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
34 Ma ne brestit nemet d'ar re digant e c'hortozit kaout diganto, peseurt trugarez a dleer deoc'h? An dud a vuhez fall a brest ivez d'an dud a vuhez fall, evit kaout kement all.
If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
35 Met karit hoc'h enebourien, grit vad, ha prestit hep gortoz netra, hag ho kopr a vo bras, ha c'hwi a vo bugale an Uhelañ-Meurbet, abalamour ma'z eo mat e-keñver ar re dizanaoudek hag ar re fall.
Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
36 Bezit eta trugarezus, evel ma'z eo ivez ho Tad trugarezus.
Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
37 Na varnit ket, ha ne viot ket barnet; na gondaonit ket, ha ne viot ket kondaonet; pardonit, hag e viot pardonet;
“Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
38 roit, hag e vo roet deoc'h; roet e vo deoc'h en ho kerc'henn ur muzul mat, stardet hag hejet, a zeuio dreist ar barr; rak muzuliet e vo deoc'h gant an hevelep muzul ma vuzuilhit d'ar re all.
Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
39 Lavarout a reas ivez dezho ur barabolenn: Daoust hag un den dall a c'hell ren un den dall? Ha ne gouezhint ket o daou er poull?
He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
40 An diskibl n'eo ket uheloc'h eget e vestr; met pep diskibl mat a vo evel e vestr.
A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
41 Perak e sellez ouzh ar blouzenn a zo e lagad da vreur, ha ne welez ket an treust a zo ez lagad da-unan?
(Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
42 Pe, penaos e c'hellez lavarout da'z preur: Va breur, va lez da zilemel ar blouzenn a zo e-barzh da lagad, te na welez ket an treust ez hini? Pilpous, lam da gentañ an treust eus da lagad, ha neuze e weli penaos e lami ar blouzenn a zo e lagad da vreur.
(You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
43 N'eus gwezenn vat ebet hag a zougfe frouezh fall, na wezenn fall ebet hag a zougfe frouezh mat.
“[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
44 Rak pep gwezenn a anavezer diouzh he frouezh hec'h-unan. Ne zastumer ket a fiez diwar ar spern, nag a rezin diwar an drez.
[Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
45 An den mat a denn traoù mat eus teñzor mat e galon, hag an den fall a denn traoù fall eus teñzor fall e galon; rak eus leunder ar galon eo e komz ar genou.
[Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
46 Perak eta e c'halvit ac'hanon Aotrou, Aotrou, ha ne rit ket ar pezh a lavaran?
“[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
47 Me a ziskouezo deoc'h ouzh piv eo heñvel pep den hag a zeu da'm c'havout, a selaou va c'homzoù hag a sent outo.
Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
48 Heñvel eo ouzh un den a sav un ti, hag o vezañ kleuzet ha toullet don, en deus lakaet an diazez war ar roc'h; an doureier o vezañ deuet, ha skoet gant nerzh a-enep an ti-se, n'o deus ket gellet e ziskar, dre ma'z eo diazezet war ar roc'h.
They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
49 Met an hini a selaou ha ne sent ket, a zo heñvel ouzh un den a sav e di war an douar, hep diazez; an doureier o vezañ skoet gant nerzh a-enep dezhañ, kouezhet eo kerkent, ha diskar an ti-se a zo bet bras.
But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
