Κατα Λουκαν 18
1 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην αυτοις προς το δειν παντοτε προσευχεσθαι και μη εκκακειν
And he spoke a parable to them, that they ought always to pray, and not to become weary,
2 λεγων κριτης τις ην εν τινι πολει τον θεον μη φοβουμενος και ανθρωπον μη εντρεπομενος
saying: There was in a certain city a judge, who neither feared God nor regarded 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 city, and she came to him, and said: Avenge me on my opponent at law.
4 και ουκ ηθελεν επι χρονον μετα δε ταυτα ειπεν εν εαυτω ει και τον θεον ου φοβουμαι και ανθρωπον ουκ εντρεπομαι
And for a while he refused. But afterward he said within himself: Though I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 δια γε το παρεχειν μοι κοπον την χηραν ταυτην εκδικησω αυτην ινα μη εις τελος ερχομενη υπωπιαζη με
yet, because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 ειπεν δε ο κυριος ακουσατε τι ο κριτης της αδικιας λεγει
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust 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
and will not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, though he delay long in respect 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 avenge them speedily. Yet, when the Son of man comes, will he find the faith on the earth?
9 ειπεν δε προς τινας τους πεποιθοτας εφ εαυτοις οτι εισιν δικαιοι και εξουθενουντας τους λοιπους την παραβολην ταυτην
And he spoke this parable to some, who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and who despised 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, the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
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 thus with himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 νηστευω δις του σαββατου αποδεκατω παντα οσα κτωμαι
I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that 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 publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, 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 say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself, shall be humbled; but he that humbles himself, shall be exalted.
15 προσεφερον δε αυτω και τα βρεφη ινα αυτων απτηται ιδοντες δε οι μαθηται επετιμησαν αυτοις
And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them. But when his 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
And Jesus called them to him, and said: Let the little children come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom 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 shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, shall in no way enter into it.
18 και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονομησω (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, 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
And Jesus said to him: Why do you call me good? None is good but one, that is 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, Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false testimony; Honor your father and your mother.
21 ο δε ειπεν ταυτα παντα εφυλαξαμην εκ νεοτητος μου
He replied: All these have I kept 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
When Jesus heard this, he said to him: One thing you yet lack; sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 ο δε ακουσας ταυτα περιλυπος εγενετο ην γαρ πλουσιος σφοδρα
And when he heard this, he was 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
When Jesus saw that he was very sad, he said: How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom 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 to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom, of God.
26 ειπον δε οι ακουσαντες και τις δυναται σωθηναι
And those who heard it said: Who, then, can be saved?
27 ο δε ειπεν τα αδυνατα παρα ανθρωποις δυνατα εστιν παρα τω θεω
He replied: Things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 ειπεν δε πετρος ιδου ημεις αφηκαμεν παντα και ηκολουθησαμεν σοι
Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all and followed 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, There is no one that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake 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 the twelve aside, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.:
32 παραδοθησεται γαρ τοις εθνεσιν και εμπαιχθησεται και υβρισθησεται και εμπτυσθησεται
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be derided and insulted and spit upon;
33 και μαστιγωσαντες αποκτενουσιν αυτον και τη ημερα τη τριτη αναστησεται
and they shall scourge him, and 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 understood none of these things; and this saying was concealed from them; and they understood not the things that were spoken.
35 εγενετο δε εν τω εγγιζειν αυτον εις ιεριχω τυφλος τις εκαθητο παρα την οδον προσαιτων
And it came to pass, that, as he came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road begging.
36 ακουσας δε οχλου διαπορευομενου επυνθανετο τι ειη τουτο
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 απηγγειλαν δε αυτω οτι ιησους ο ναζωραιος παρερχεται
And they told him that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.
38 και εβοησεν λεγων ιησου υιε δαυιδ ελεησον με
And he cried out and said: 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 went before rebuked him, that he should be silent. But he cried so much the more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 σταθεις δε ο ιησους εκελευσεν αυτον αχθηναι προς αυτον εγγισαντος δε αυτου επηρωτησεν αυτον λεγων
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him,
41 τι σοι θελεις ποιησω ο δε ειπεν κυριε ινα αναβλεψω
saying: What do you wish me to do for you? he replied: Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 και ο ιησους ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε
And Jesus said to him: Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.
43 και παραχρημα ανεβλεψεν και ηκολουθει αυτω δοξαζων τον θεον και πας ο λαος ιδων εδωκεν αινον τω θεω
And he immediately received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
