Lucam 6
1 Factum est autem in sabbato secundo, primo, cum transiret per sata, vellebant discipuli ejus spicas, et manducabant confricantes manibus.
One Sabbath while Jesus was walking through grainfields, his disciples began picking some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Quidam autem pharisæorum, dicebant illis: Quid facitis quod non licet in sabbatis?
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 Et respondens Jesus ad eos, dixit: Nec hoc legistis quod fecit David, cum esurisset ipse, et qui cum illo erant?
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men 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 went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”
5 Et dicebat illis: Quia dominus est Filius hominis etiam sabbati.
Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Factum est autem in alio sabbato, ut intraret in synagogam, et doceret. Et erat ibi homo, et manus ejus dextra erat arida.
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 Observabant autem scribæ et pharisæi si in sabbato curaret, ut invenirent unde accusarent eum.
The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.
8 Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum: et ait homini qui habebat manum aridam: Surge, et sta in medium. Et surgens stetit.
But Jesus knew what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man got up and stood there.
9 Ait autem ad illos Jesus: Interrogo vos si licet sabbatis benefacere, an male: animam salvam facere, an perdere?
Then Jesus turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? To save life, or to destroy it?”
10 Et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit: et restituta est manus ejus.
He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.
11 Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent Jesu.
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 Factum est autem in illis diebus, exiit in montem orare, et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei.
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos: et elegit duodecim ex ipsis (quos et apostolos nominavit):
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:
14 Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem ejus, Jacobum, et Joannem, Philippum, et Bartholomæum,
Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Matthæum, et Thomam, Jacobum Alphæi, et Simonem, qui vocatur Zelotes,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 et Judam Jacobi, et Judam Iscariotem, qui fuit proditor.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
17 Et descendens cum illis, stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum ejus, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Judæa, et Jerusalem, et maritima, et Tyri, et Sidonis,
Jesus went back down the mountain with them, and stopped at a place where there was some flat ground. There a crowd made up of his disciples and many other people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, had gathered to listen to him and to be cured from their diseases.
18 qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 Et omnis turba quærebat eum tangere: quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
20 Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat: Beati pauperes, quia vestrum est regnum Dei.
Looking at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 Beati qui nunc esuritis, quia saturabimini. Beati qui nunc fletis, quia ridebitis.
“How happy are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will eat all you need. How happy are you who are weeping now, for you will laugh.
22 Beati eritis cum vos oderint homines, et cum separaverint vos, et exprobraverint, et ejicerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis.
How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, the Son of man.
23 Gaudete in illa die, et exsultate: ecce enim merces vestra multa est in cælo: secundum hæc enim faciebant prophetis patres eorum.
When that day comes, be happy. Jump for joy, for great is your reward in heaven. Don't forget their forefathers mistreated the prophets just like this.
24 Verumtamen væ vobis divitibus, quia habetis consolationem vestram.
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 Væ vobis, qui saturati estis: quia esurietis. Væ vobis, qui ridetis nunc: quia lugebitis et flebitis.
How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.
26 Væ cum benedixerint vobis homines: secundum hæc enim faciebant pseudoprophetis patres eorum.
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 Sed vobis dico, qui auditis: diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his qui oderunt vos.
But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Benedicite maledicentibus vobis, et orate pro calumniantibus vos.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Et qui te percutit in maxillam, præbe et alteram. Et ab eo qui aufert tibi vestimentum, etiam tunicam noli prohibere.
If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 Omni autem petenti te, tribue: et qui aufert quæ tua sunt, ne repetas.
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 Et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis similiter.
Do to others what you want them to do 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, why should you deserve any credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Et si benefeceritis his qui vobis benefaciunt, quæ vobis est gratia? siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt.
If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
34 Et si mutuum dederitis his a quibus speratis recipere, quæ gratia est vobis? nam et peccatores peccatoribus fœnerantur, ut recipiant æqualia.
If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
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.
No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 Estote ergo misericordes sicut et Pater vester misericors est.
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 Nolite judicare, et non judicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini. Dimittite, et dimittemini.
Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven;
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 you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 Dicebat autem illis et similitudinem: Numquid potest cæcus cæcum ducere? nonne ambo in foveam cadunt?
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 Non est discipulus super magistrum: perfectus autem omnis erit, si sit sicut magister ejus.
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quæ in oculo tuo est, non consideras?
Why are you so worried about the speck that's in your brother's eye when you don't even notice the plank that's in your own eye?
42 aut quomodo potes dicere fratri tuo: Frater, sine ejiciam festucam de oculo tuo: ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns? Hypocrita, ejice 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 out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
43 Non est enim arbor bona, quæ facit fructus malos: neque arbor mala, faciens fructum bonum.
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
44 Unaquæque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur. Neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus: neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
45 Bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert malum. Ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
Good people produce what's good from the good things they value that they have stored inside them. Bad people produce what's bad from the bad things they have stored inside them. What fills people's minds spills out in what they say.
46 Quid autem vocatis me Domine, Domine: et non facitis quæ dico?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 Omnis qui venit ad me, et audit sermones meos, et facit eos, ostendam vobis cui similis sit:
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows them.
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.
That person is like a man building a house. He digs down deep and lays the foundations on solid rock. When the river bursts its banks and the floodwater breaks against the house it's not damaged because it's built so well.
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.
The person who hears me but doesn't do what I say is like a man who builds a house without foundations. When the floodwater breaks against the house it collapses immediately, completely destroyed.”
