Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when myriads of the people had come together, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
εν οις επισυναχθεισων των μυριαδων του οχλου ωστε καταπατειν αλληλους ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους μαθητας αυτου πρωτον προσεχετε εαυτοις απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων ητις εστιν υποκρισις
2 For there is nothing covered, which shall not be revealed, and hid, which shall not be made known.
ουδεν δε συγκεκαλυμμενον εστιν ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
3 Wherefore, what you have spoken in the darkness, shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
ανθ ων οσα εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι ακουσθησεται και ο προς το ους ελαλησατε εν τοις ταμειοις κηρυχθησεται επι των δωματων
4 But I say to you, my friends, Fear not them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
λεγω δε υμιν τοις φιλοις μου μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτεινοντων το σωμα και μετα ταυτα μη εχοντων περισσοτερον τι ποιησαι
5 But I will show you whom you shall fear: Fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
υποδειξω δε υμιν τινα φοβηθητε φοβηθητε τον μετα το αποκτειναι εξουσιαν εχοντα εμβαλειν εις την γεενναν ναι λεγω υμιν τουτον φοβηθητε (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? yet not one of them is forgotten before God.
ουχι πεντε στρουθια πωλειται ασσαριων δυο και εν εξ αυτων ουκ εστιν επιλελησμενον ενωπιον του θεου
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
αλλα και αι τριχες της κεφαλης υμων πασαι ηριθμηνται μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε
8 And I further say to you, Whoever confesses me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
λεγω δε υμιν πας ος αν ομολογηση εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων και ο υιος του ανθρωπου ομολογησει εν αυτω εμπροσθεν των αγγελων του θεου
9 But he that denies me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
ο δε αρνησαμενος με ενωπιον των ανθρωπων απαρνηθησεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου
10 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but he that speaks impiously against the Holy Spirit, shall not be forgiven.
και πας ος ερει λογον εις τον υιον του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω τω δε εις το αγιον πνευμα βλασφημησαντι ουκ αφεθησεται
11 When they bring you to the synagogues, and to rulers and authorities, be not anxious how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
οταν δε προσφερωσιν υμας επι τας συναγωγας και τας αρχας και τας εξουσιας μη μεριμνατε πως η τι απολογησησθε η τι ειπητε
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what you ought to say.
το γαρ αγιον πνευμα διδαξει υμας εν αυτη τη ωρα α δει ειπειν
13 And a certain one of the multitude said to him: Teacher, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
ειπεν δε τις αυτω εκ του οχλου διδασκαλε ειπε τω αδελφω μου μερισασθαι μετ εμου την κληρονομιαν
14 But he said to him: Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε τις με κατεστησεν δικαστην η μεριστην εφ υμας
15 And he said to them: Take heed and beware of covetousness; for a man’s life depends not on the abundance of his possessions.
ειπεν δε προς αυτους ορατε και φυλασσεσθε απο της πλεονεξιας οτι ουκ εν τω περισσευειν τινι η ζωη αυτου εστιν εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying: The farm of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
ειπεν δε παραβολην προς αυτους λεγων ανθρωπου τινος πλουσιου ευφορησεν η χωρα
17 And he reasoned within himself, saying: What shall I do? for I have no place in which I can store my fruits.
και διελογιζετο εν εαυτω λεγων τι ποιησω οτι ουκ εχω που συναξω τους καρπους μου
18 And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and I will build larger ones; and there I will store ail my produce, and my good things;
και ειπεν τουτο ποιησω καθελω μου τας αποθηκας και μειζονας οικοδομησω και συναξω εκει παντα τα γεννηματα μου και τα αγαθα μου
19 and I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.
και ερω τη ψυχη μου ψυχη εχεις πολλα αγαθα κειμενα εις ετη πολλα αναπαυου φαγε πιε ευφραινου
20 But God said to him: Senseless man, this night shall your soul be required of you; and who shall have the things which you have provided?
ειπεν δε αυτω ο θεος αφρων ταυτη τη νυκτι την ψυχην σου απαιτουσιν απο σου α δε ητοιμασας τινι εσται
21 So is he that lays up treasure for him self, and is not rich toward God.
ουτως ο θησαυριζων εαυτω και μη εις θεον πλουτων
22 And he said to his disciples: For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας αυτου δια τουτο υμιν λεγω μη μεριμνατε τη ψυχη υμων τι φαγητε μηδε τω σωματι τι ενδυσησθε
23 Life is a greater gift than food, and the body, than clothing.
η ψυχη πλειον εστιν της τροφης και το σωμα του ενδυματος
24 Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; yet God feeds them: you are of far more value than the birds.
κατανοησατε τους κορακας οτι ου σπειρουσιν ουδε θεριζουσιν οις ουκ εστιν ταμειον ουδε αποθηκη και ο θεος τρεφει αυτους ποσω μαλλον υμεις διαφερετε των πετεινων
25 Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life?
τις δε εξ υμων μεριμνων δυναται προσθειναι επι την ηλικιαν αυτου πηχυν ενα
26 If, therefore, you can not do that which is the least, why are you anxious about the rest?
ει ουν ουτε ελαχιστον δυνασθε τι περι των λοιπων μεριμνατε
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, they spin not; yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
κατανοησατε τα κρινα πως αυξανει ου κοπια ουδε νηθει λεγω δε υμιν ουδε σολομων εν παση τη δοξη αυτου περιεβαλετο ως εν τουτων
28 If, then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
ει δε τον χορτον εν τω αγρω σημερον οντα και αυριον εις κλιβανον βαλλομενον ο θεος ουτως αμφιεννυσιν ποσω μαλλον υμας ολιγοπιστοι
29 And seek not what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, and be not in anxious suspense.
και υμεις μη ζητειτε τι φαγητε η τι πιητε και μη μετεωριζεσθε
30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
ταυτα γαρ παντα τα εθνη του κοσμου επιζητει υμων δε ο πατηρ οιδεν οτι χρηζετε τουτων
31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be given you in addition.
πλην ζητειτε την βασιλειαν του θεου και ταυτα παντα προστεθησεται υμιν
32 Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
μη φοβου το μικρον ποιμνιον οτι ευδοκησεν ο πατηρ υμων δουναι υμιν την βασιλειαν
33 Sell what you have, and be charitable. Make for yourselves purses that do not become old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near, and no moth corrupts.
πωλησατε τα υπαρχοντα υμων και δοτε ελεημοσυνην ποιησατε εαυτοις βαλαντια μη παλαιουμενα θησαυρον ανεκλειπτον εν τοις ουρανοις οπου κλεπτης ουκ εγγιζει ουδε σης διαφθειρει
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
οπου γαρ εστιν ο θησαυρος υμων εκει και η καρδια υμων εσται
35 Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning;
εστωσαν υμων αι οσφυες περιεζωσμεναι και οι λυχνοι καιομενοι
36 and be like men that are waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that, when he comes and knocks, they may open for him immediately.
και υμεις ομοιοι ανθρωποις προσδεχομενοις τον κυριον εαυτων ποτε αναλυσει εκ των γαμων ινα ελθοντος και κρουσαντος ευθεως ανοιξωσιν αυτω
37 Blessed are those servants whom their lord, when he comes, shall find watching. Verily I say to you, That he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and will come forth and serve them.
μακαριοι οι δουλοι εκεινοι ους ελθων ο κυριος ευρησει γρηγορουντας αμην λεγω υμιν οτι περιζωσεται και ανακλινει αυτους και παρελθων διακονησει αυτοις
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, and if he shall come in the third watch, and find them thus, blessed are those servants.
και εαν ελθη εν τη δευτερα φυλακη και εν τη τριτη φυλακη ελθη και ευρη ουτως μακαριοι εισιν οι δουλοι εκεινοι
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
τουτο δε γινωσκετε οτι ει ηδει ο οικοδεσποτης ποια ωρα ο κλεπτης ερχεται εγρηγορησεν αν και ουκ αν αφηκεν διορυγηναι τον οικον αυτου
40 Be you, therefore, ready also; for at an hour when you think not, the Son of man comes.
και υμεις ουν γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται
41 Then Peter said to him: Lord, dost them speak this parable to us, or also to all?
ειπεν δε αυτω ο πετρος κυριε προς ημας την παραβολην ταυτην λεγεις η και προς παντας
42 And the Lord said: Who, then, is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
ειπεν δε ο κυριος τις αρα εστιν ο πιστος οικονομος και φρονιμος ον καταστησει ο κυριος επι της θεραπειας αυτου του διδοναι εν καιρω το σιτομετριον
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord, when he comes, shall find so doing.
μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ποιουντα ουτως
44 Of a truth, I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον
45 But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to strike the men-servants and the maid-servants, and to eat and to drink, and to be drunk;
εαν δε ειπη ο δουλος εκεινος εν τη καρδια αυτου χρονιζει ο κυριος μου ερχεσθαι και αρξηται τυπτειν τους παιδας και τας παιδισκας εσθιειν τε και πινειν και μεθυσκεσθαι
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
ηξει ο κυριος του δουλου εκεινου εν ημερα η ου προσδοκα και εν ωρα η ου γινωσκει και διχοτομησει αυτον και το μερος αυτου μετα των απιστων θησει
47 And that servant who knew his lord’s will, but made no preparation, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
εκεινος δε ο δουλος ο γνους το θελημα του κυριου εαυτου και μη ετοιμασας μηδε ποιησας προς το θελημα αυτου δαρησεται πολλας
48 but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. To whomever much has been given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have intrusted much, of him will they ask the more.
ο δε μη γνους ποιησας δε αξια πληγων δαρησεται ολιγας παντι δε ω εδοθη πολυ πολυ ζητηθησεται παρ αυτου και ω παρεθεντο πολυ περισσοτερον αιτησουσιν αυτον
49 I have come to send fire on the earth; and how greatly do I wish that it were already kindled!
πυρ ηλθον βαλειν εις την γην και τι θελω ει ηδη ανηφθη
50 I have an immersion with which to be immersed, and how distressed I am till it be accomplished!
βαπτισμα δε εχω βαπτισθηναι και πως συνεχομαι εως ου τελεσθη
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I toll you, No; but rather dissension.
δοκειτε οτι ειρηνην παρεγενομην δουναι εν τη γη ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ η διαμερισμον
52 For from this time forth there shall be five in one house at variance, three with two, and two with three.
εσονται γαρ απο του νυν πεντε εν οικω ενι διαμεμερισμενοι τρεις επι δυσιν και δυο επι τρισιν
53 The father shall be at variance with the son, and the son with the father; the mother with the daughter, and the daughter with the mother; the mother-in-law with her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law.
διαμερισθησεται πατηρ εφ υιω και υιος επι πατρι μητηρ επι θυγατρι και θυγατηρ επι μητρι πενθερα επι την νυμφην αυτης και νυμφη επι την πενθεραν αυτης
54 And he said also to the multitudes: When you see the cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, There comes a shower: and so it is.
ελεγεν δε και τοις οχλοις οταν ιδητε την νεφελην ανατελλουσαν απο δυσμων ευθεως λεγετε ομβρος ερχεται και γινεται ουτως
55 And when the south wind blows, you say, There will be heat: and it comes to pass.
και οταν νοτον πνεοντα λεγετε οτι καυσων εσται και γινεται
56 Hypocrites, you know how to judge of the face of the earth, and of the heavens; but how is it that you do not judge of this time?
υποκριται το προσωπον της γης και του ουρανου οιδατε δοκιμαζειν τον δε καιρον τουτον πως ου δοκιμαζετε
57 And why even of yourselves do you not judge what is right?
τι δε και αφ εαυτων ου κρινετε το δικαιον
58 For when you are going with your opponent at law to the ruler, while you are on the way, endeavor to be delivered from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the collector, and the collector throw you into prison.
ως γαρ υπαγεις μετα του αντιδικου σου επ αρχοντα εν τη οδω δος εργασιαν απηλλαχθαι απ αυτου μηποτε κατασυρη σε προς τον κριτην και ο κριτης σε παραδω τω πρακτορι και ο πρακτωρ σε βαλλη εις φυλακην
59 I say to you, You shall not come out thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως ου και το εσχατον λεπτον αποδως
