Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη εκκακειν
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
2 λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
3 χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
4 και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7 ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8 λεγω υμιν οτι ποιησει την εκδικησιν αυτων εν ταχει πλην ο υιος του ανθρωπου ελθων αρα ευρησει την πιστιν επι της γης
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
10 ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
“Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
11 ο φαρισαιος σταθεις προς εαυτον ταυτα προσηυχετο ο θεος ευχαριστω σοι οτι ουκ ειμι ωσπερ οι λοιποι των ανθρωπων αρπαγες αδικοι μοιχοι η και ως ουτος ο τελωνης
The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 και ο τελωνης μακροθεν εστως ουκ ηθελεν ουδε τους οφθαλμους εις τον ουρανον επαραι αλλ ετυπτεν εις το στηθος αυτου λεγων ο θεος ιλασθητι μοι τω αμαρτωλω
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 λεγω υμιν κατεβη ουτος δεδικαιωμενος εις τον οικον αυτου η γαρ εκεινος οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται ο δε ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται και ιδοντες οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 ο δε ιησους προσκαλεσαμενος αυτα ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια ερχεσθαι προς με και μη κωλυετε αυτα των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια του θεου
Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
18 και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
20 τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
22 ακουσας δε ταυτα ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω ετι εν σοι λειπει παντα οσα εχεις πωλησον και διαδος πτωχοις και εξεις θησαυρον εν ουρανω και δευρο ακολουθει μοι
When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
23 ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
24 ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
25 ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω θεω εστιν
But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
28 ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
29 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ουδεις εστιν ος αφηκεν οικιαν η γονεις η αδελφους η γυναικα η τεκνα ενεκεν της βασιλειας του θεου
He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
31 παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελειωθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
33 και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
34 και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
36 ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
41 λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
“What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
42 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
