< Lucam 13 >

1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nunciantes illi de Galilaeis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Et respondens dixit illis: Putatis quod hi Galilaei prae omnibus Galilaeis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt?
And Jesus answering said to them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 Non, dico vobis: sed nisi poenitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
I tell you, No: but, except you 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 Siloam fell, and slew them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelled in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis: sed si poenitentiam non habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall 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.
He spoke also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, 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?
Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why encumbers it the ground?
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi: Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora:
And he answering said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum: sin autem, in futurum succides eam.
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that 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, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
12 Quam cum videret Iesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi: Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified 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 ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and 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?
The Lord then answered him, and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahae, quam alligavit satanas, ecce decem et octo annis non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati?
And should not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, see, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond 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 when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Dicebat ergo: Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile aestimabo illud?
Then said he, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I resemble 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 took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 Et iterum dixit: Cui simile aestimabo regnum Dei?
And again he said, Whereunto 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 took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Et ibat per civitates, et castella docens, et iter faciens in Ierusalem.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam: Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur? Ipse autem dixit ad illos:
Then said one to him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said to them,
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam: quia multi, dico vobis, quaerent intrare, et non poterunt.
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall 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 once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not from where you are:
26 tunc incipietis dicere: Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.
Then shall you begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.
27 Et dicet vobis: Nescio vos unde sitis: discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not from where 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.
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 yourselves thrust out.
29 Et venient ab Oriente, et Occidente, et Aquilone, et Austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erant primi, et sunt primi qui erant novissimi.
And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam Pharisaeorum, dicentes illi: Exi, et vade hinc: quia Herodes vult te occidere.
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Get you out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill you.
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, Go you, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare: quia non capit prophetam perire extra Ierusalem.
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out 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, which kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and you would not!
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 to you desolate: and truly I say to you, You shall not see me, until the time come when you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
