Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
2 λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
3 χηρα δε ην εν τη πολει εκεινη και ηρχετο προς αυτον λεγουσα εκδικησον με απο του αντιδικου μου
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
4 και ουκ ηθελησεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υποπιαζη με
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
7 ο δε θεος ου μη ποιηση την εκδικησιν των εκλεκτων αυτου των βοωντων προς αυτον ημερας και νυκτος και μακροθυμων επ αυτοις
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
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 quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 ειπεν δε προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:
10 ανθρωποι δυο ανεβησαν εις το ιερον προσευξασθαι ο εις φαρισαιος και ο ετερος τελωνης
Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
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, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
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
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on 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 say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to 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
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 αμην λεγω υμιν ος εαν μη δεξηται την βασιλειαν του θεου ως παιδιον ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (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 do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.
20 τας εντολας οιδας μη μοιχευσης μη φονευσης μη κλεψης μη ψευδομαρτυρησης τιμα τον πατερα σου και την μητερα σου
You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
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 Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 ιδων δε αυτον ο ιησους περιλυπον γενομενον ειπεν πως δυσκολως οι τα χρηματα εχοντες εισελευσονται εις την βασιλειαν του θεου
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
25 ευκοπωτερον γαρ εστιν καμηλον δια τρυμαλιας ραφιδος εισελθειν η πλουσιον εις την βασιλειαν του θεου εισελθειν
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 ειπεν δε πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after 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
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
31 παραλαβων δε τους δωδεκα ειπεν προς αυτους ιδου αναβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα και τελεσθησεται παντα τα γεγραμμενα δια των προφητων τω υιω του ανθρωπου
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
34 και αυτοι ουδεν τουτων συνηκαν και ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων και ουκ εγινωσκον τα λεγομενα
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 και οι προαγοντες επετιμων αυτω ινα σιωπηση αυτος δε πολλω μαλλον εκραζεν υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 λεγων τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
