< Lucam 13 >

1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nunciantes illi de Galilaeis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.
And there were certain ones at that time announcing to him concerning the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Et respondens dixit illis: Putatis quod hi Galilaei prae omnibus Galilaeis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?
And responding to them He said, Do you think that those Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered these things?
3 Non, dico vobis: sed nisi poenitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
T say unto you, Nay: but unless you may repent, you shall all likewise perish.
4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Siloe, et occidit eos: putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint praeter omnes homines habitantes in Ierusalem?
Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Saloam fell, and killed them, do you think that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis: sed si poenitentiam non habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
I say unto you, Nay: but unless you may repent, you will all likewise perish.
6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem: Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quaerens fructum in illa, et non invenit.
And He spoke this parable, A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and came seeking fruit on it and found none;
7 Dixit autem ad cultorem vineae: Ecce anni tres sunt ex quo venio quaerens fructum in ficulnea hac, et non invenio: succide ergo illam: ut quid etiam terram occupat?
and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years from which I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and I find none: cut it down; why indeed does it cumber the ground?
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora:
And responding he says to him, Lord, let it alone also this year, until I shall dig about it, and cast manures:
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum: sin autem, in futurum succides eam.
and if it may bear fruit in the future; and if not you shall cut it down.
10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis.
And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11 Et ecce mulier, quae habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo: et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere.
And behold, a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and not at all able to straighten up.
12 Quam cum videret Iesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.
And Jesus seeing her, called to her, and said, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity:
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.
and He placed His hands on her: and immediately she straightened up, and continued to glorify God.
14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia sabbato curasset Iesus: dicebat turbae: Sex dies sunt, in quibus oportet operari: in his ergo venite, et curamini, et non in die sabbati.
And the chief ruler of the synagogue, responding, being grieved because Jesus healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it behooveth us to work: therefore during these, coming, be healed, and not on the Sabbath-day.
15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus dixit: Hypocritae, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a praesepio, et ducit adaquare?
And the Lord responded to him, and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each one of you loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and leading him away, give him water on the Sabbath?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahae, quam alligavit satanas, ecce decem et octo annis non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati?
Did it not behoove this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bondage on the Sabbath-day?
17 Et cum haec diceret, erubescebant omnes adversarii eius: et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quae gloriose fiebant ab eo.
And He speaking these things, all opposing Him became ashamed: and the whole multitude rejoiced over all the illustrious works wrought by Him.
18 Dicebat ergo: Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile aestimabo illud?
Then He said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?
19 Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam: et volucres caeli requieverunt in ramis eius.
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man having taken, cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.
20 Et iterum dixit: Cui simile aestimabo regnum Dei?
And again He said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinae sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.
It is like leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
22 Et ibat per civitates, et castella docens, et iter faciens in Ierusalem.
And He was journeying through cities and villages, teaching, and making His journey towards Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam: Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos:
And one said to Him, Lord, are the saved few? And He said to them,
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam: quia multi, dico vobis, quaerent intrare, et non poterunt.
Agonize to enter in through the narrow gate: because many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
25 Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes: Domine, aperi nobis: et respondens dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis:
When the landlord may rise up, and close the door, and you may begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, open unto us; and responding he will say unto you, I know not whence you are.
26 tunc incipietis dicere: Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in thy presence, and thou didst preach in our streets.
27 Et dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis: discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.
And he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence you are; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
28 Ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium: cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Iacob, et omnes Prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.
And there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast out.
29 Et venient ab Oriente, et Occidente, et Aquilone, et Austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
And they will come from the east and west, and the north and south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erant primi, et sunt primi qui erant novissimi.
And behold, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.
31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam Pharisaeorum, dicentes illi: Exi, et vade hinc: quia Herodes vult te occidere.
At that hour certain Pharisees came to Him, saying; Depart, and go hence: because Herod wishes to slay thee.
32 Et ait illis: Ite, et dicite vulpi illi: Ecce eiicio daemonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor.
And He said to them, Having gone, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perfect healings to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I am made perfect.
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare: quia non capit prophetam perire extra Ierusalem.
Moreover it behooves Me to travel to-day and to-morrow and the day following: because it does not behoove a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 Ierusalem, Ierusalem, quae occidis Prophetas, et lapidas eos, qui mittuntur ad te, quoties volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that have been sent unto thee! how frequently did I wish to gather thy children, in the manner in which a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye were not willing!
35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis: Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. I say unto you, that you can see me no more, until it shall come to pass that you may say, Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord.
