Lucam 12
1 Multis autem turbis concurrentibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos: Attendite a fermento Pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis.
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware all of you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Nihil enim opertum est, quod non reveletur: neque absconditum, quod non sciatur.
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur: et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis.
Therefore whatsoever all of you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which all of you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Dico autem vobis amicis meis: Ne terreamini ab his, qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant.
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis: timete eum, qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam. ita dico vobis, hunc timete. (Geenna g1067)
But I will forewarn you whom all of you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Nonne quinque passeres vaeneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo?
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 Sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere: multis passeribus pluris estis vos:
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Dico autem vobis: Omnis, quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram Angelis Dei:
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabitur coram Angelis Dei.
But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 Et omnis qui dicit verbum in Filium hominis, remittetur illi: ei autem, qui in Spiritum sanctum blasphemaverit, non remittetur.
And whosoever shall speak a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven.
11 Cum autem inducent vos in synagogas, et ad magistratus, et potestates, nolite soliciti esse qualiter, aut quid respondeatis, aut quid dicatis.
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take all of you no thought how or what thing all of you shall answer, or what all of you shall say:
12 Spiritus enim sanctus docebit vos in ipsa hora quid oporteat vos dicere.
For the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall teach you in the same hour what all of you ought to say.
13 Ait autem ei quidam de turba: Magister, dic fratri meo ut dividat mecum hereditatem.
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 At ille dixit ei: Homo, quis me constituit iudicem, aut divisorem super vos?
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 Dixitque ad illos: Videte, et cavete ab omni avaritia: quia non in abundantia cuiusquam vita eius est ex his quae possidet.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
16 Dixit autem similitudinem ad illos, dicens: Hominis cuiusdam divitis uberes fructus ager attulit:
And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 et cogitabat intra se dicens: Quid faciam, quia non habeo quo congregem fructus meos?
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 Et dixit: Hoc faciam: Destruam horrea mea, et maiora faciam: et illuc congregabo omnia, quae nata sunt mihi, et bona mea,
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 et dicam animae meae: Anima, habes multa bona posita in annos plurimos: requiesce, comede, bibe, epulare.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Dixit autem illi Deus: Stulte, hac nocte animam tuam repetunt a te: quae autem parasti, cuius erunt?
But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
21 Sic est qui sibi thesaurizat, et non est in Deum dives.
So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 Dixitque ad discipulos suos: Ideo dico vobis: Nolite soliciti esse animae vestrae quid manducetis: neque corpori quid induamini.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat; neither for the body, what all of you shall put on.
23 Anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum.
The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Considerate corvos quia non seminant, neque metunt, quibus non est cellarium, neque horreum, et Deus pascit illos. Quanto magis vos pluris estis illis?
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are all of you better than the fowls?
25 Quis autem vestrum cogitando potest adiicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Si ergo neque quod minimum est potestis, quid de ceteris soliciti estis?
If all of you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take all of you thought for the rest?
27 Considerate lilia quomodo crescunt: non laborant, neque nent: dico autem vobis, nec Salomon in omni gloria sua vestiebatur sicut unum ex istis.
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Si autem foenum, quod hodie est in agro, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit: quanto magis vos pusillae fidei?
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O all of you of little faith?
29 Et vos nolite quaerere quid manducetis, aut quid bibatis: et nolite in sublime tolli:
And seek not all of you what all of you shall eat, or what all of you shall drink, neither be all of you of doubtful mind.
30 haec enim omnia gentes mundi quaerunt. Pater autem vester scit quoniam his indigetis.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that all of you have need of these things.
31 Verumtamen quaerite primum regnum Dei, et iustitiam eius: et haec omnia adiicientur vobis.
But rather seek all of you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit patri vestro dare vobis regnum.
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis: quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit.
Sell that all of you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
34 Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris,
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 et vos similes hominibus expectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis: ut, cum venerit, et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei.
And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Beati servi illi, quos cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes: amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth and serve them.
38 Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi.
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam.
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Et vos estote parati: quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.
Be all of you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when all of you think not.
41 Ait autem et Petrus: Domine, ad nos dicis hanc parabolam: an et ad omnes?
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 Dixit autem Dominus: Quis, putas, est fidelis dispensator, et prudens, quem constituit Dominus supra familiam suam, ut det illis in tempore tritici mensuram?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 Beatus ille servus, quem cum venerit dominus, invenerit ita facientem.
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
44 Vere dico vobis, quoniam supra omnia, quae possidet, constituet illum.
Truthfully I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
45 Quod si dixerit servus ille in corde suo: Moram facit dominus meus venire: et coeperit percutere servos, et ancillas, et edere, et bibere, et inebriari:
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the male servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 veniet dominus servi illius in die, qua non sperat, et hora, qua nescit, et dividet eum, partemque eius cum infidelibus ponet.
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 Ille autem servus, qui cognovit voluntatem domini sui, et non se praeparavit, et non facit secundum voluntatem eius, vapulabit multis:
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 qui autem non cognovit, et fecit digna, plagis vapulabit paucis. Omni autem, cui multum datum est, multum quaeretur ab eo: et cui commendaverunt multum, plus petent ab eo.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 Ignem veni mittere in terram, et quid volo nisi ut accendatur?
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 Baptismo autem habeo baptizari: et quomodo coarctor usquedum perficiatur?
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Putatis quia pacem veni dare in terram? Non, dico vobis, sed separationem:
Suppose all of you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 erunt enim ex hoc quinque in domo una divisi, tres in duos, et duo in tres
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 dividentur: pater in filium, et filius in patrem suum, mater in filiam, et filia in matrem, socrus in nurum suam, et nurus in socrum suam.
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 Dicebat autem et ad turbas: Cum videritis nubem orientem ab occasu, statim dicitis: Nimbus venit: et ita fit.
And he said also to the people, When all of you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately all of you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
55 Et cum austrum flantem, dicitis: Quia aestus erit: et fit.
And when all of you see the south wind blow, all of you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
56 Hypocritae faciem caeli, et terrae nostis probare: hoc autem tempus quomodo non probatis?
All of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that all of you do not discern this time?
57 Quid autem et a vobis ipsis non iudicatis quod iustum est?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge all of you not what is right?
58 Cum autem vadis cum adversario tuo ad principem, in via da operam liberari ab illo, ne forte trahat te ad iudicem, et iudex tradat te exactori, et exactor mittat te in carcerem.
When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
59 Dico tibi, non exies inde, donec etiam novissimum minutum reddas.
I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
