Lucam 22
1 Appropinquabat autem dies festus Azymorum, qui dicitur Pascha:
It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
2 et quaerebant principes sacerdotum, et Scribae, quomodo Iesum interficerent: timebant vero plebem.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
3 Intravit autem satanas in Iudam, qui cognominabatur Iscariotes, unum de duodecim.
Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
4 et abiit, et locutus est cum principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, quemadmodum illum traderet eis.
Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
5 Et gavisi sunt, et pacti sunt pecuniam illi dare.
They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
6 Et spopondit. Et quaerebat opportunitatem ut traderet illum sine turbis.
So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
7 Venit autem dies Azymorum, in qua necesse erat occidi pascha.
Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
8 Et misit Petrum, et Ioannem, dicens: Euntes parate nobis pascha, ut manducemus.
So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
9 At illi dixerunt: Ubi vis paremus?
They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
10 Et dixit ad eos: Ecce introeuntibus vobis in civitatem, occurret vobis homo quidam amphoram aquae portans: sequimini eum in domum, in quam intrat,
He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
11 et dicetis patrifamilias domus: Dicit tibi Magister: Ubi est diversorium, ubi pascha cum discipulis meis manducem?
tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
12 Et ipse ostendet vobis coenaculum magnum stratum, et ibi parate.
He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
13 Euntes autem invenerunt sicut dixit illis, et paraverunt pascha.
So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
14 Et cum facta esset hora, discubuit, et duodecim Apostoli cum eo.
When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
15 et ait illis: Desiderio desideravi hoc pascha manducare vobiscum, antequam patiar.
He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
16 Dico enim vobis, quia ex hoc non manducabo illud, donec impleatur in regno Dei.
I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
17 Et accepto calice gratias egit, et dixit: Accipite, et dividite inter vos.
Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
18 dico enim vobis quod non bibam de generatione vitis, donec regnum Dei veniat.
I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
19 Et accepto pane gratias egit, et fregit, et dedit eis, dicens: Hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis datur: hoc facite in meam commemorationem.
Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
20 Similiter et calicem, postquam coenavit, dicens: Hic est calix novum testamentum in sanguine meo, qui pro vobis fundetur.
Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
21 Verumtamen ecce manus tradentis me, mecum est in mensa.
But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
22 Et quidem Filius hominis, secundum quod definitum est, vadit: verumtamen vae homini illi, per quem tradetur.
[It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
23 Et ipsi coeperunt quaerere inter se, quis esset ex eis, qui hoc facturus esset.
Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
24 Facta est autem et contentio inter eos, quis eorum videretur esse maior.
[The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
25 Dixit autem eis: Reges Gentium dominantur eorum: et qui potestatem habent super eos, benefici vocantur.
So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
26 Vos autem non sic: sed qui maior est in vobis, fiat sicut minor: et qui praecessor est, sicut ministrator.
But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
27 Nam quis maior est, qui recumbit, an qui ministrat? nonne qui recumbit? Ego autem in medio vestrum sum, sicut qui ministrat:
Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
28 vos autem estis, qui permansistis mecum in tentationibus meis:
You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
29 Et ego dispono vobis sicut disposuit mihi Pater meus regnum,
So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
30 ut edatis, et bibatis super mensam meam in regno meo: et sedeatis super thronos iudicantes duodecim tribus Israel.
so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 Ait autem Dominus Simoni: Simon, ecce satanas expetivit vos ut cribraret sicut triticum:
“Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
32 ego autem rogavi pro te ut non deficiat fides tua: et tu aliquando conversus confirma fratres tuos.
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
33 Qui dixit ei: Domine, tecum paratus sum et in carcerem, et in mortem ire.
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
34 At ille dixit: Dico tibi Petre, non cantabit hodie gallus, donec ter abneges nosse me. Et dixit eis:
Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
35 Quando misi vos sine sacculo, et pera, et calceamentis, numquid aliquid defuit vobis?
Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
36 At illi dixerunt: Nihil. Dixit ergo eis: Sed nunc qui habet sacculum, tollat similiter et peram: et qui non habet, vendat tunicam suam, et emat gladium.
Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
37 Dico enim vobis, quoniam adhuc hoc, quod scriptum est, oportet impleri in me: Et cum iniquis deputatus est. Etenim ea, quae sunt de me, finem habent.
Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
38 At illi dixerunt: Domine, ecce duo gladii hic. At ille dixit eis: Satis est.
[One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
39 Et egressus ibat secundum consuetudinem in Monte olivarum. Secuti sunt autem illum et discipuli.
As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
40 Et cum pervenisset ad locum, dixit illis: Orate ne intretis in tentationem.
When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
41 Et ipse avulsus est ab eis quantum iactus est lapidis: et positis genibus orabat,
Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
42 dicens: Pater si vis, transfer calicem istum a me: Verumtamen non mea voluntas, sed tua fiat.
“[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
43 Apparuit autem illi Angelus de caelo, confortans eum. Et factus in agonia, prolixius orabat.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
44 Et factus est sudor eius, sicut guttae sanguinis decurrentis in terram.
He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
45 Et cum surrexisset ab oratione, et venisset ad discipulos suos, invenit eos dormientes prae tristitia.
When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
46 Et ait illis: Quid dormitis? surgite, orate, ne intretis in tentationem.
He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
47 Adhuc eo loquente ecce turba: et qui vocabatur Iudas, unus de duodecim, antecedebat eos: et appropinquavit Iesu ut oscularetur eum.
While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
48 Iesus autem dixit illi: Iuda, osculo Filium hominis tradis?
Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
49 Videntes autem hi, qui circa ipsum erant, quod futurum erat, dixerunt ei: Domine, si percutimus in gladio?
When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
50 Et percussit unus ex illis servum principis sacerdotum, et amputavit auriculam eius dexteram.
One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
51 Respondens autem Iesus, ait: Sinite usque huc. Et cum tetigisset auriculam eius, sanavit eum.
But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
52 Dixit autem Iesus ad eos, qui venerant ad se, principes sacerdotum, et magistratus templi, et seniores: Quasi ad latronem existis cum gladiis, et fustibus?
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
53 Cum quotidie vobiscum fuerim in templo, non extendistis manus in me: sed haec est hora vestra, et potestas tenebrarum.
54 Comprehendentes autem eum, duxerunt ad domum principis sacerdotum: Petrus vero sequebatur eum a longe.
They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
55 Accenso autem igne in medio atrii, et circumsedentibus illis, erat Petrus in medio eorum.
They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
56 Quem cum vidisset ancilla quaedam sedentem ad lumen, et eum fuisset intuita, dixit: Et hic cum illo erat.
As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
57 At ille negavit eum, dicens: Mulier, non novi illum.
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 Et post pusillum alius videns eum, dixit: Et tu de illis es. Petrus vero ait: O homo, non sum.
A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
59 Et intervallo facto quasi horae unius, alius quidam affirmabat, dicens: Vere et hic cum illo erat: nam et Galilaeus est.
About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
60 Et ait Petrus: Homo, nescio quid dicis. Et continuo adhuc illo loquente cantavit gallus.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 Et conversus Dominus respexit Petrum. Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Domini, sicut dixerat: Quia prius quam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.
The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
62 Et egressus foras Petrus flevit amare.
And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
63 Et viri, qui tenebant illum, illudebant ei, caedentes.
The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
64 Et velaverunt eum, et percutiebant faciem eius: et interrogabant eum, dicentes: Prophetiza, quis est, qui te percussit?
They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
65 Et alia multa blasphemantes dicebant in eum.
They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
66 Et ut factus est dies, convenerunt seniores plebis, et principes sacerdotum, et Scribae, et duxerunt illum in concilium suum, dicentes: Si tu es Christus, dic nobis.
At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
67 Et ait illis: Si vobis dixero, non credetis mihi:
“If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
68 si autem et interrogavero, non respondebitis mihi, neque dimittetis.
If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
69 Ex hoc autem erit Filius hominis sedens a dextris virtutis Dei.
But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
70 Dixerunt autem omnes: Tu ergo es Filius Dei? Qui ait: Vos dicitis, quia ego sum.
Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
71 At illi dixerunt: Quid adhuc desideramus testimonium? ipsi enim audivimus de ore eius.
Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
