Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοισ προσ το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι 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 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 ιδοντεσ δε 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 εστιν παρα τω θεω
and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.'
28 ειπεν δε 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 τελεσθησεται 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 τουτο
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.
