< Lucam 6 >

1 Factum est autem in sabbato secundo primo, cum transiret per sata, vellebant discipuli eius spicas, et manducabant confricantes manibus.
One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.
2 Quidam autem Pharisaeorum, dicebant illis: Quid facitis quod non licet in sabbatis?
But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3 Et respondens Iesus ad eos, dixit: Nec hoc legistis quod fecit David, cum esurisset ipse, et qui cum illo erant?
Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4 quomodo intravit in domum Dei, et panes propositionis sumpsit, et manducavit, et dedit his, qui cum ipso erant: quos non licet manducare nisi tantum sacerdotibus?
He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
5 Et dicebat illis: Quia Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.
Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Factum est autem in alio sabbato, ut intraret in synagogam, et doceret. Et erat ibi homo, et manus eius dextra erat arida.
On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7 Observabant autem Scribae, et Pharisaei si in sabbato curaret: ut invenirent unde accusarent eum.
Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
8 Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum: et ait homini, qui habebat manum aridam: Surge, et sta in medium. Et surgens stetit.
But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
9 Ait autem ad illos Iesus: Interrogo vos si licet sabbatis benefacere, an male: animam salvam facere, an perdere?
Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
10 Et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit: et restituta est manus eius.
And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.
11 Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent de Iesu.
But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12 Factum est autem in illis diebus, exiit in montem orare, et erat pernoctans in oratione Dei.
In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
13 Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos: et elegit duodecim ex ipsis (quos et Apostolos nominavit)
When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
14 Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem eius, Iacobum, et Ioannem, Philippum, et Bartholomaeum,
Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15 Matthaeum, et Thomam, Iacobum Alphaei, et Simonem, qui vocatur zelotes,
Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16 et Iudam Iacobi, et Iudam Iscariotem, qui fuit proditor.
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 Et descendens cum illis, stetit in loco campestri, et turba discipulorum eius, et multitudo copiosa plebis ab omni Iudaea, et Ierusalem, et maritima, et Tyri, et Sidonis,
Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18 qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur.
They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
19 Et omnis turba quaerebat eum tangere: quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes.
The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20 Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat: Beati pauperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei.
Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Beati, qui nunc esuritis: quia saturabimini. Beati, qui nunc fletis: quia ridebitis.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Beati eritis cum vos oderint homines, et cum separaverint vos, et exprobraverint, et eiicerint nomen vestrum tamquam malum propter Filium hominis.
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23 Gaudete in illa die, et exultate: ecce enim merces vestra multa est in caelo: secundum haec enim faciebant Prophetis patres eorum.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24 Verumtamen vae vobis divitibus, qui habetis consolationem vestram.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
25 Vae vobis, qui saturati estis: quia esurietis. Vae vobis, qui ridetis nunc: quia lugebitis et flebitis.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Vae cum benedixerint vobis omnes homines: secundum haec enim faciebant pseudoprophetis patres eorum.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
27 Sed vobis dico, qui auditis: Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his, qui oderunt vos.
But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 Benedicite maledicentibus vobis, et orate pro calumniantibus vos.
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Et qui te percutit in maxillam unam, praebe illi et alteram. Et ab eo, qui aufert tibi vestimentum, etiam tunicam noli prohibere.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
30 Omni autem petenti te, tribue: et qui aufert quae tua sunt, ne repetas.
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
31 Et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis similiter.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 Et si diligitis eos, qui vos diligunt, quae vobis est gratia? nam et peccatores diligentes se diligunt.
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Et si benefeceritis his, qui vobis benefaciunt; quae vobis est gratia? siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
34 Et si mutuum dederitis his, a quibus speratis recipere; quae gratia est vobis? nam et peccatores peccatoribus foenerantur, ut recipiant aequalia.
And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35 Verumtamen diligite inimicos vestros: benefacite, et mutuum date, nihil inde sperantes: et erit merces vestra multa, et eritis filii Altissimi, quia ipse benignus est super ingratos et malos.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36 Estote ergo misericordes sicut et Pater vester misericors est.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37 Nolite iudicare, et non iudicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini. Dimitte, et dimittemini.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 Date, et dabitur vobis: mensuram bonam, et confertam, et coagitatam, et supereffluentem dabunt in sinum vestrum. Eadem quippe mensura, qua mensi fueritis, remetietur vobis.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
39 Dicebat autem illis et similitudinem: Numquid potest caecus caecum ducere? nonne ambo in foveam cadunt?
Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40 Non est discipulus super magistrum: perfectus autem omnis erit, si sit sicut magister eius.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quae in oculo tuo est, non consideras?
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
42 Aut quomodo potes dicere fratri tuo: Frater sine eiiciam festucam de oculo tuo: ipse in oculo tuo trabem non videns? Hypocrita eiice primum trabem de oculo tuo: et tunc perspicies ut educas festucam de oculo fratris tui.
How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
43 Non est enim arbor bona, quae facit fructus malos: neque arbor mala, faciens fructum bonum.
No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44 Unaquaeque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur. Neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus: neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
45 Bonus homo de bono thesauro cordis sui profert bonum: et malus homo de malo thesauro profert malum. Ex abundantia enim cordis os loquitur.
The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
46 Quid autem vocatis me Domine, Domine: et non facitis quae dico?
Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
47 Omnis, qui venit ad me, et audit sermones meos, et facit eos: ostendam vobis cui similis sit:
I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
48 similis est homini aedificanti domum, qui fodit in altum, et posuit fundamentum supra petram. inundatione autem facta, illisum est flumen domui illi, et non potuit eam movere: fundata enim erat supra petram.
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 Qui autem audit, et non facit: similis est homini aedificanti domum suam supra terram sine fundamento: in quam illisus est fluvius, et continuo cecidit: et facta est ruina domus illius magna.
But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
