Lucam 18
1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,
And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint-hearted;
2 dicens: Iudex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.
saying—A certain judge, there was in a certain city, —having, for God, no reverence, and, for man, no respect.
3 Vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.
And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying—Vindicate me from mine adversary!
4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post haec autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:
And he was unwilling for a time; but, after these things, he said within himself—Although, neither God, I reverence, nor man, I respect,
5 tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens suggilet me.
Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, —lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.
6 Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid iudex iniquitatis dicit:
And the Lord said—Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; —
7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?
And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?
8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?
I tell you—He will execute their vindication, quickly! nevertheless, though, the Son of Man, do come, will he, after all, find the faith on the earth?
9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam, qui in se confidebant tamquam iusti, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam dicens:
And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: —
10 Duo homines ascendebant in templum ut orarent: unus Pharisaeus, et alter publicanus.
Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax-collector.
11 Pharisaeus stans, haec apud se orabat: Deus gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, iniusti, adulteri: velut etiam hic publicanus.
The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, —extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;
12 ieiuno bis in sabbato: decimas do omnium, quae possideo.
I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain!
13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.
But, the tax-collector, afar off, standing, —would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying—O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner!
14 Dico vobis, descendit hic iustificatus in domum suam ab illo, quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
I tell you—This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.
And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.
16 Iesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos. talium est enim regnum Dei.
But, Jesus, called them near, saying—Suffer, the children, to be coming unto me, and do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.
17 Amen dico vobis: Quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.
Verily I say unto you—Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.
18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam aeternam possidebo? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying—Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding? (aiōnios g166)
19 Dixit autem ei Iesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.
But Jesus said to him—Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one—God.
20 Mandata nosti: Non occides: Non moechaberis: Non furtum facies: Non falsum testimonium dices: Honora patrem tuum, et matrem.
The commandments, thou knowest: —Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, —Honour thy father and mother,
21 Qui ait: Haec omnia custodivi a iuventute mea.
And, he, said—All these things, have I kept from my youth.
22 Quo audito, Iesus ait ei: Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quaecumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
And Jesus, hearing, said unto him—Yet one thing, unto thee, is lacking: Whatsoever thou hast, sell, and distribute unto the destitute, —and thou shalt have treasure in [the] heavens; and come! be following me.
23 His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.
But, he, hearing these things, became, encompassed with grief; for he was rich exceedingly.
24 Videns autem Iesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!
And Jesus, beholding him, said—With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.
25 Facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.
For it is, easier, for a camel, to enter, through the eye of a needle, than for, a rich man, to enter, into the kingdom of God.
26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?
And they who heard said—Who, then, can be saved?
27 Ait illis: Quae impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.
And, he, said—The things impossible with men, are, possible with God.
28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.
And Peter said—Lo! we, have left our own possessions, and followed thee!
29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est, qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,
And, he, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you—No one, is there, who hath left—house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, —for the sake of the kingdom of God;
31 Assumpsit autem Iesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Ierosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia, quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis.
And, taking aside the twelve, he said unto them—Lo! we are going up unto Jerusalem, and all the things will be finished, which have been written through means of the prophets, respecting the Son of Man;
32 tradetur enim Gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:
For he will be delivered up unto the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, —
33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.
and, having scourged him, they will slay him, and, on the third day, will, he, arise.
34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quae dicebantur.
And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.
35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Iericho, caecus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.
And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.
36 Et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.
And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.
37 Dixerunt autem ei, quod Iesus Nazarenus transiret.
And they told him—Jesus of Nazareth, is passing by!
38 Et clamavit, dicens: Iesu fili David miserere mei.
And he cried aloud, saying—Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!
39 Et qui praeibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David miserere mei.
And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out—O Son of David! have mercy upon me!
40 Stans autem Iesus iussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,
And, standing still, Jesus commanded him to be led unto him; and, when he had drawn near, he questioned him—
41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine ut videam.
What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said—Lord! …that I may recover sight!
42 Et Iesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.
And, Jesus, said unto him—Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.
43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
And, instantly, he recovered sight, and began to follow him, glorifying God. And, all the people, beholding, gave praise unto God.
