Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι αυτους και μη εκκακειν
And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us] always to pray, and not to faint,
2 λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city — God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding —
3 χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,
4 και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.'
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
And the Lord said, 'Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith:
7 ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night — bearing long in regard to 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 say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'
9 ειπεν δε και προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile:
10 ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer;
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 having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;
12 νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things — as many as I possess.
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
'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me — the 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 say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται και ιδοντες οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke 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
and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;
17 αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'
18 και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done — shall I inherit life age-during?' (aiōnios g166)
19 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους τι με λεγεις αγαθον ουδεις αγαθος ει μη εις ο θεος
And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call 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
the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'
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
and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things — as many as thou hast — sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'
23 ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich.
24 ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!
25 ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?'
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα παρα τω θεω εστιν
and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
28 ειπεν δε ο πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'
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
and he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,
31 παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελειωθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed — that have been written through the prophets — to the Son of Man,
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,
33 και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.'
34 και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,
36 ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be,
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'
39 και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'
40 σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,
41 λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
saying, 'What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.'
42 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
