Lucam 20
1 Et factum est in una dierum, docente illo populum in templo, et evangelizante, convenerunt principes sacerdotum, et scribæ cum senioribus,
And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
2 et aiunt dicentes ad illum: Dic nobis, in qua potestate hæc facis? aut: Quis est, qui dedit tibi hanc potestatem?
and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
3 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit ad illos: Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum. Respondete mihi:
And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
4 Baptismus Ioannis de cælo erat, an ex hominibus?
The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
5 At illi cogitabant intra se, dicentes: Quia si dixerimus, de cælo, dicet: Quare ergo non credidistis illi?
And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
6 Si autem dixerimus, Ex hominibus, plebs universa lapidabit nos: certi sunt enim, Ioannem prophetam esse.
But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
7 Et responderunt se nescire unde esset.
And they answered, that they knew not whence.
8 Et Iesus ait illis: Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
9 Cœpit autem dicere ad plebem parabolam hanc: Homo plantavit vineam, et locavit eam colonis: et ipse peregre fuit multis temporibus.
And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time.
10 Et in tempore misit ad cultores servum, ut de fructu vineæ darent illi. Qui cæsum dimiserunt eum inanem.
And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.
11 Et addidit alterum servum mittere. Illi autem hunc quoque cædentes, et afficientes contumelia, dimiserunt inanem.
And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
12 Et addidit tertium mittere: qui et illum vulnerantes eiecerunt.
And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
13 Dixit autem dominus vineæ: Quid faciam? Mittam filium meum dilectum: forsitan, cum hunc viderint, verebuntur.
And the lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
14 Quem cum vidissent coloni, cogitaverunt intra se, dicentes: Hic est heres, occidamus illum, ut nostra fiat hereditas.
But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
15 Et eiectum illum extra vineam, occiderunt. Quid ergo faciet illis dominus vineæ?
And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 Veniet, et perdet colonos istos, et dabit vineam aliis. Quo audito, dixerunt illi: Absit.
He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
17 Ille autem aspiciens eos ait: Quid est ergo hoc, quod scriptum est: Lapidem, quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli?
But, he, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?
18 Omnis, qui ceciderit super illum lapidem, conquassabitur: super quem autem ceciderit, comminuet illum.
Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
19 Et quærebant principes sacerdotum, et scribæ mittere in illum manus illa hora: et timuerunt populum: cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem hanc.
And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.
20 Et observantes miserunt insidiatores, qui se iustos simularent, ut caparent eum in sermone, ut traderent illum principatui, et potestati præsidis.
And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
21 Et interrogaverunt eum, dicentes: Magister, scimus quia recte dicis, et doces: et non accipis personam, sed viam Dei in veritate doces:
And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
22 licet nobis tributum dare Cæsari, an non?
Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
23 Considerans autem dolum illorum, dixit ad eos: Quid me tentatis?
But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
24 Ostendite mihi denarium: Cuius habet imaginem, et inscriptionem? Respondentes dixerunt ei: Cæsaris.
Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
25 Et ait illis: Reddite ergo quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo.
And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
26 Et non potuerunt verbum eius reprehendere coram plebe: et mirati in responso eius, tacuerunt.
And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Accesserunt autem quidam Sadducæorum, qui negant esse resurrectionem, et interrogaverunt eum,
But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
28 dicentes: Magister, Moyses scripsit nobis: Si frater alicuius mortuus fuerit habens uxorem, et hic sine liberis fuerit, ut accipiat eam frater eius uxorem, et suscitet semen fratri suo:
saying—Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est sine filiis.
Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
30 Et sequens accepit illam, et ipse mortuus est sine filio.
And, the second,
31 Et tertius accepit illam. Similiter et omnes septem, et non reliquerunt semen, et mortui sunt.
and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
32 Novissime omnium mortua est et mulier.
Later on, the woman also, died.
33 In resurrectione ergo, cuius eorum erit uxor? Siquidem septem habuerunt eam uxorem.
The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them—The sons of this age, marry, and are given in marriage, — (aiōn g165)
35 illi vero qui digni habebuntur sæculo illo, et resurrectione ex mortuis, neque nubent, neque ducent uxores: (aiōn g165)
But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 neque enim ultra mori potuerunt: æquales enim Angelis sunt, et filii sunt Dei: cum sint filii resurrectionis.
For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
37 Quia vero resurgant mortui, et Moyses ostendit secus rubum, sicut dicit Dominum, Deum Abraham, et Deum Isaac, et Deum Iacob.
But, that the dead do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
38 Deus autem non est mortuorum, sed vivorum: omnes enim vivunt ei.
Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
39 Respondentes autem quidam scribarum, dixerunt ei: Magister, bene dixisti.
And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
40 Et amplius non audebant eum quidquam interrogare.
For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
41 Dixit autem ad illos: Quomodo dicunt Christum, filium esse David?
And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
42 Et ipse David dicit in libro Psalmorum: Dixit Dominus Domino meo, sede a dextris meis,
For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 donec ponam inimicos tuos, scabellum pedum tuorum?
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44 David ergo Dominum illum vocat: et quomodo filius eius est?
David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
45 Audiente autem omni populo, dixit discipulis suis:
And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
46 Attendite a scribis, qui volunt ambulare in stolis, et amant salutationes in foro, et primas cathedras in synagogis, et primos discubitus in conviviis:
Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
47 qui devorant domos viduarum, simulantes longam orationem. Hi accipient damnationem maiorem.
Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
