Lucam 6
1 Factum est autem in Sabbato secundo, primo, cum transiret per sata, vellebant discipuli eius spicas, et manducabant confricantes manibus.
Now on the second-first Sabbath while He was passing through the wheatfields, His disciples were plucking the ears and rubbing them with their hands to eat the grain.
2 Quidam autem Pharisæorum, dicebant illis: Quid facitis quod non licet in Sabbatis?
And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"
3 Et respondens Iesus ad eos, dixit: Nec hoc legistis quod fecit David, cum esurisset ipse, et qui cum illo erant?
"Have you never read so much as this," answered Jesus--"what David did when he and his followers were hungry;
4 Quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis sumpsit, et manducavit, et dedit his, qui cum ipso erant: quos non licet manducare nisi tantum sacerdotibus?
how he entered the house of God and took and ate the Presented Loaves and gave some to his followers--loaves which none but the Priests are allowed to eat?"
5 Et dicebat illis: Quia Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam Sabbati.
"The Son of Man," He added, "is Lord of the Sabbath also."
6 Factum est autem in alio Sabbato, ut intraret in synagogam, et doceret. Et erat ibi homo, et manus eius dextra erat arida.
On another Sabbath He had gone to the synagogue and was teaching there; and in the congregation was a man whose right arm was withered.
7 Observabant autem scribæ, et Pharisæi si in Sabbato curaret: ut invenirent unde accusarent eum.
The Scribes and the Pharisees were on the watch to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath that they might be able to bring an accusation against Him.
8 Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum: et ait homini, qui habebat manum aridam: Surge, et sta in medium. Et surgens stetit.
He knew their thoughts, and said to the man with the withered arm, "Rise, and stand there in the middle." And he rose and stood there.
9 Ait autem ad illos Iesus: Interrogo vos si licet Sabbatis benefacere, an male: animam salvam facere, an perdere?
Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you all whether we are allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it."
10 Et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit: et restituta est manus eius.
And looking round upon them all He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He did so, and the arm was restored.
11 Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent Iesu.
But they were filled with madness, and began to discuss with one another what they should do to Jesus.
12 Factum est autem in illis diebus, exiit in montem orare, et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei.
About that time He went out on one occasion into the hill country to pray; and He remained all night in prayer to God.
13 Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos: et elegit duodecim ex ipsis (quos et Apostolos nominavit)
When it was day, He called His disciples; and He selected from among them twelve, whom He also named Apostles.
14 Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem eius, Iacobum, et Ioannem, Philippum, et Bartholomæum,
These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Matthæum, et Thomam, Iacobum Alphæi, et Simonem, qui vocatur Zelotes,
Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16 et Iudam Iacobi, et Iudam Iscariotem, qui fuit proditor.
James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to be a traitor.
17 Et descendens cum illis, stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum eius, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Iudæa, et Ierusalem, et maritima, et Tyri, et Sidonis,
With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
18 qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur.
and those who were tormented by foul spirits were cured.
19 Et omnis turba quærebat eum tangere: quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes.
The whole crowd were eager to touch Him, because power went forth from him and cured every one.
20 Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat: Beati pauperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei.
Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them, "Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
21 Beati, qui nunc esuritis: quia saturabimini. Beati, qui nunc fletis: quia ridebitis.
"Blessed are you who hunger now, because your hunger shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud, because you shall laugh.
22 Beati eritis cum vos oderint homines, et cum separaverint vos, et exprobraverint, et eiicerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis.
"Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.
23 Gaudete in illa die, et exultate: ecce enim merces vestra multa est in cælo: secundum hæc enim faciebant Prophetis patres eorum.
"Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!
24 Verumtamen væ vobis divitibus, quia habetis consolationem vestram.
"But alas for you rich men, because you already have your consolation!
25 Væ vobis, qui saturati estis: quia esurietis. Væ vobis, qui ridetis nunc: quia lugebitis et flebitis.
"Alas for you who now have plenty to eat, because you will be hungry! "Alas for you who laugh now, because you will mourn and weep aloud!
26 Væ cum benedixerint vobis homines: secundum hæc enim faciebant pseudoprophetis patres eorum.
"Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!
27 Sed vobis dico, qui auditis: Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his, qui oderunt vos.
"But to you who are listening to me I say, Love your enemies; seek the welfare of those who hate you;
28 Benedicite maledicentibus vobis, et orate pro calumniantibus vos.
bless those who curse you; pray for those who revile you.
29 Et qui te percutit in maxillam, præbe et alteram. Et ab eo, qui aufert tibi vestimentum, etiam tunicam noli prohibere.
To him who gives you a blow on one side of the face offer the other side also; and to him who is robbing you of your outer garment refuse not the under one also.
30 Omni autem petenti te, tribue: et qui aufert quæ tua sunt, ne repetas.
To every one who asks, give; and from him who takes away your property, do not demand it back.
31 Et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis similiter.
And behave to your fellow men just as you would have them behave to you.
32 Et si diligitis eos, qui vos diligunt, quæ vobis est gratia? Nam et peccatores diligentes se diligunt.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is it to you? Why, even bad men love those who love them.
33 Et si benefeceritis his, qui vobis benefaciunt; quæ vobis est gratia? Siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt.
And if you are kind to those who are kind to you, what credit is it to you? Even bad men act thus.
34 Et si mutuum dederitis his, a quibus speratis recipere; quæ gratia est vobis? Nam et peccatores peccatoribus fœnerantur, ut recipiant æqualia.
And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is it to you? Even bad men lend to their fellows so as to receive back an equal amount.
35 Verumtamen diligite inimicos vestros: benefacite, et mutuum date, nihil inde sperantes: et erit merces vestra multa, et eritis filii Altissimi, quia ipse benignus est super ingratos et malos.
Nevertheless love your enemies, be beneficent; and lend without hoping for any repayment. Then your recompense shall be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Estote ergo misericordes sicut et Pater vester misericors est.
Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
37 Nolite iudicare, et non iudicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini. Dimitte, et dimittemini.
"Judge not, and you shall not be judged; condemn not, and you shall not be condemned; pardon, and you shall be pardoned;
38 Date, et dabitur vobis: mensuram bonam, et confertam, et coagitatam, et supereffluentem dabunt in sinum vestrum. Eadem quippe mensura, qua mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
give, and gifts shall be bestowed on you. Full measure, pressed, shaken down, and running over, shall they pour into your laps; for with the same measure that you use they shall measure to you in return."
39 Dicebat autem illis et similitudinem: Numquid potest cæcus cæcum ducere? Nonne ambo in foveam cadunt?
He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch?
40 Non est discipulus super magistrum: perfectus autem omnis erit, si sit sicut magister eius.
There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.
41 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quæ in oculo tuo est, non consideras?
"And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?
42 Aut quomodo potes dicere fratri tuo: Frater sine eiiciam festucam de oculo tuo: ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns? Hypocrita eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo: et tunc perspicies ut educas festucam de oculo fratris tui.
How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
43 Non est enim arbor bona, quæ facit fructus malos: neque arbor mala, faciens fructum bonum.
"There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit.
44 Unaquæque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur. Neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus: neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.
Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.
45 Bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert malum. Ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
A good man from the good stored up in his heart brings out what is good; and an evil man from the evil stored up brings out what is evil; for from the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.
46 Quid autem vocatis me Domine, Domine: et non facitis quæ dico?
"And why do you all call me 'Master, Master' and yet not do what I tell you?
47 Omnis, qui venit ad me, et audit sermones meos, et facit eos: ostendam vobis cui similis sit:
Every one who comes to me and listens to my words and puts them in practice, I will show you whom he is like.
48 similis est homini ædificanti domum, qui fodit in altum, et posuit fundamentum super petram. Inundatione autem facta, illisum est flumen domui illi, et non potuit eam movere: fundata enim erat super petram.
He is like a man building a house, who digs and goes deep, and lays the foundation on the rock; and when a flood comes, the torrent bursts upon that house, but is unable to shake it, because it is securely built.
49 Qui autem audit, et non facit: similis est homini ædificanti domum suam super terram sine fundamento: in quam illisus est fluvius, et continuo cecidit: et facta est ruina domus illius magna.
But he who has heard and not practised is like a man who has built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation, against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses, and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."
