< Luke 12 >

1 In the meantime, when many thousands of the people were gathered together, so much that they trampled on each other, he began to say to his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
εν οις επισυναχθεισων των μυριαδων του οχλου ως καταπατειν αλληλους ηρξατο λεγειν προς τους μαθητας αυτου πρωτον προσεχετε εαυτοις απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων ητις εστιν υποκρισις
2 But there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
ουδεν δε συγκεκαλυμμενον εστιν ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
3 So whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
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 I say to you my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that they have no more that they can do.
λεγω δε υμιν τοις φιλοις μου μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτεννοντων το σωμα και μετα ταυτα μη εχοντων περισσοτερον τι ποιησαι
5 But I will warn you about whom to fear. Fear the one who, after he has killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
υποδειξω δε υμιν τινα φοβηθητε φοβηθητε τον μετα το αποκτειναι εχοντα εξουσιαν εμβαλειν εις την γεενναν ναι λεγω υμιν τουτον φοβηθητε (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of 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. Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
αλλα και αι τριχες της κεφαλης υμων πασαι ηριθμηνται μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε
8 I say to you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will 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 who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
ο δε αρνησαμενος με ενωπιον των ανθρωπων απαρνηθησεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will 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 before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you will speak in your defense, or what you will 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 will teach you in that hour what you should say.”
το γαρ αγιον πνευμα διδαξει υμας εν αυτη τη ωρα α δει ειπειν
13 Then someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
ειπεν δε τις αυτω εκ του οχλου διδασκαλε ειπε τω αδελφω μου μερισασθαι την κληρονομιαν μετ εμου
14 Jesus said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or a mediator over you?”
ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε τις με κατεστησεν δικαστην η μεριστην εφ υμας
15 He said to them, “Watch that you keep yourselves from all greedy desires, because a person's life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions.”
ειπεν δε προς αυτους ορατε και φυλασσεσθε απο πασης πλεονεξιας οτι ουκ εν τω περισσευειν τινι η ζωη αυτου εστιν εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου
16 Then Jesus told them a parable, saying, “The field of a rich man yielded abundantly,
ειπεν δε παραβολην προς αυτους λεγων ανθρωπου τινος πλουσιου ευφορησεν η χωρα
17 and he reasoned with himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have a place to store my crops?'
και διελογιζετο εν εαυτω λεγων τι ποιησω οτι ουκ εχω που συναξω τους καρπους μου
18 He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all of my grain and other goods.
και ειπεν τουτο ποιησω καθελω μου τας αποθηκας και μειζονας οικοδομησω και συναξω εκει παντα τα γενηματα μου και τα αγαθα μου
19 I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods stored up for many years. Rest easy, 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, 'Foolish man, tonight your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
ειπεν δε αυτω ο θεος αφρον ταυτη τη νυκτι την ψυχην σου απαιτουσιν απο σου α δε ητοιμασας τινι εσται
21 That is what someone is like who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
ουτως ο θησαυριζων εαυτω και μη εις θεον πλουτων
22 Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat—or about your body, what you will wear.
ειπεν δε προς τους μαθητας αυτου δια τουτο λεγω υμιν μη μεριμνατε τη ψυχη υμων τι φαγητε μηδε τω σωματι υμων τι ενδυσησθε
23 For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
ουχι η ψυχη πλειον εστιν της τροφης και το σωμα του ενδυματος
24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow or reap. They have no storeroom or barn, but God feeds them. How much more valuable you are 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 being anxious can add a cubit to his lifespan?
τις δε εξ υμων μεριμνων δυναται προσθειναι επι την ηλικιαν αυτου πηχυν ενα
26 If then you are not able to do such a very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
ει ουν ουτε ελαχιστον δυνασθε τι περι των λοιπων μεριμνατε
27 Consider the lilies—how they grow. They do not labor, neither do they spin. Yet I say to you, even 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 God so clothes the grass in the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
ει δε τον χορτον του αγρου σημερον οντα και αυριον εις κλιβανον βαλλομενον ο θεος ουτως αμφιεννυσιν ποσω μαλλον υμας ολιγοπιστοι
29 Do not look for what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
και υμεις μη ζητειτε τι φαγητε και τι πιητε και μη μετεωριζεσθε
30 For all the nations of the world look for these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
ταυτα γαρ παντα τα εθνη του κοσμου επιζητει υμων δε ο πατηρ οιδεν οτι χρηζετε τουτων
31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
πλην ζητειτε την βασιλειαν του θεου και ταυτα [ παντα ] προστεθησεται υμιν
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is very pleased to give you the kingdom.
μη φοβου το μικρον ποιμνιον οτι ευδοκησεν ο πατηρ υμων δουναι υμιν την βασιλειαν
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make for yourselves purses which will not wear out—treasure in the heavens that does not run out, where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.
πωλησατε τα υπαρχοντα υμων και δοτε ελεημοσυνην ποιησατε εαυτοις βαλλαντια μη παλαιουμενα θησαυρον ανεκλειπτον εν τοις ουρανοις οπου κλεπτης ουκ εγγιζει ουδε σης διαφθειρει
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
οπου γαρ εστιν ο θησαυρος υμων εκει και η καρδια υμων εσται
35 Let your long clothing be tucked in at your belt, and let your lamps be kept burning,
εστωσαν υμων αι οσφυες περιεζωσμεναι και οι λυχνοι καιομενοι
36 and be like people looking for their master when he returns from the marriage feast, so that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open the door for him.
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 the master will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will tuck in his long clothing at his belt, and have them sit down at the table, and he will come 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 If the master comes in the second watch of the night, or if even in the third watch, and finds them ready, 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 understand this, that if the master of the house had known the hour the thief was coming he would not have let his house be broken into.
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 ready also, because you do not know the hour when the Son of Man comes.”
και υμεις ουν γινεσθε ετοιμοι οτι η ωρα ου δοκειτε ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεται
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable only to us, or also to everyone?”
ειπεν δε αυτω ο πετρος κυριε προς ημας την παραβολην ταυτην λεγεις η και προς παντας
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will set over his other servants to give them their portion of food at the right 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 finds doing that when he comes.
μακαριος ο δουλος εκεινος ον ελθων ο κυριος αυτου ευρησει ουτως ποιουντα
44 Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his property.
αληθως λεγω υμιν οτι επι πασιν τοις υπαρχουσιν αυτου καταστησει αυτον
45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his return,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to become 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 when he does not expect, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and appoint a place for him 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 That servant, having known his lord's will, and not having prepared or done according to his will, will be beaten with many blows.
εκεινος δε ο δουλος ο γνους το θελημα του κυριου εαυτου και μη ετοιμασας μηδε ποιησας προς το θελημα αυτου δαρησεται πολλας
48 But the one who did not know and did what deserved a beating, he will be beaten with a few blows. But everyone who has been given much, from them much will be required, and the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked.
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 came to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it were already kindled.
πυρ ηλθον βαλειν επι την γην και τι θελω ει ηδη ανηφθη
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is completed!
βαπτισμα δε εχω βαπτισθηναι και πως συνεχομαι εως ου τελεσθη
51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
δοκειτε οτι ειρηνην παρεγενομην δουναι εν τη γη ουχι λεγω υμιν αλλ η διαμερισμον
52 For from now on there will be five in one house divided—three people against two, and two people against three.
εσονται γαρ απο του νυν πεντε εν οικω ενι διαμεμερισμενοι τρεις επι δυσιν και δυο επι τρισιν
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
διαμερισθησονται πατηρ επι υιω και υιος επι πατρι μητηρ επι θυγατρι και θυγατηρ επι μητρι πενθερα επι την νυμφην αυτης και νυμφη επι την πενθεραν αυτης
54 Jesus was saying to the crowds also, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
ελεγεν δε και τοις οχλοις οταν ιδητε την νεφελην ανατελλουσαν απο δυσμων ευθεως λεγετε ομβρος ερχεται και γινεται ουτως
55 When a south wind is blowing, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
και οταν νοτον πνεοντα λεγετε οτι καυσων εσται και γινεται
56 Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the heavens, but how is it that you do not know how to interpret the present time?
υποκριται το προσωπον του ουρανου και της γης οιδατε δοκιμαζειν τον δε καιρον τουτον πως ου δοκιμαζετε
57 Why do you not judge what is right for yourselves?
τι δε και αφ εαυτων ου κρινετε το δικαιον
58 For when you go with your adversary before the magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the matter with him so that he does not drag you to the judge, and so that the judge does not deliver you to the officer, and the officer does not 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 βαλει εις φυλακην
59 I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the very last bit of money.”
λεγω σοι ου μη εξελθης εκειθεν εως ου και το εσχατον λεπτον αποδως

< Luke 12 >
