< Lucam 6 >

1 Factum est autem in sabbato secundo primo, cum transiret per sata, vellebant discipuli eius spicas, et manducabant confricantes manibus.
And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, as He is going through the grainfields, that His disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands,
2 Quidam autem Pharisaeorum, dicebant illis: Quid facitis quod non licet in sabbatis?
and certain of the Pharisees said to them, “Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths?”
3 Et respondens Iesus ad eos, dixit: Nec hoc legistis quod fecit David, cum esurisset ipse, et qui cum illo erant?
And Jesus answering said to them, “Did you not read even this that David did when he hungered, himself and those who are with him,
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?
how he went into the house of God, and took the Bread of the Presentation, and ate, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the priests?”
5 Et dicebat illis: Quia Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.
And He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord also 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.
And it came to pass also, on another Sabbath, that He goes into the synagogue, and teaches, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered,
7 Observabant autem Scribae, et Pharisaei si in sabbato curaret: ut invenirent unde accusarent eum.
and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him, if on the Sabbath He will heal, that they might find an accusation against Him.
8 Ipse vero sciebat cogitationes eorum: et ait homini, qui habebat manum aridam: Surge, et sta in medium. Et surgens stetit.
And He Himself had known their reasonings and said to the man having the withered hand, “Rise, and stand in the midst”; and he having risen, stood.
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 will question you something: is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? To save life or to kill?”
10 Et circumspectis omnibus dixit homini: Extende manum tuam. Et extendit: et restituta est manus eius.
And having looked around on them all, He said to the man, “Stretch forth your hand”; and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;
11 Ipsi autem repleti sunt insipientia, et colloquebantur ad invicem, quidnam facerent de Iesu.
and they were filled with madness, and were speaking 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.
And it came to pass in those days, He went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,
13 Et cum dies factus esset, vocavit discipulos suos: et elegit duodecim ex ipsis (quos et Apostolos nominavit)
and when it became day, He called near His disciples, also having chosen twelve from them, whom He also named apostles:
14 Simonem, quem cognominavit Petrum, et Andream fratrem eius, Iacobum, et Ioannem, Philippum, et Bartholomaeum,
Simon, whom He also 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 of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealot,
16 et Iudam Iacobi, et Iudam Iscariotem, qui fuit proditor.
Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer.
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,
And having come down with them, He stood on a level spot; and a crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
18 qui venerant ut audirent eum, et sanarentur a languoribus suis. Et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis, curabantur.
who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, [gathered]. And those harassed by unclean spirits [also gathered] and were healed.
19 Et omnis turba quaerebat eum tangere: quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes.
And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, because power was going forth from Him, and He was healing all.
20 Et ipse elevatis oculis in discipulis suis, dicebat: Beati pauperes: quia vestrum est regnum Dei.
And He, having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, said: “Blessed the poor—because yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 Beati, qui nunc esuritis: quia saturabimini. Beati, qui nunc fletis: quia ridebitis.
Blessed those hungering now—because you will be filled. Blessed those weeping now—because 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 men will hate you, and when they will separate you, and will reproach, and will cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake—
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 behold, your reward [is] great in Heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.
24 Verumtamen vae vobis divitibus, qui habetis consolationem vestram.
But woe to you—the rich, because you have gotten your comfort.
25 Vae vobis, qui saturati estis: quia esurietis. Vae vobis, qui ridetis nunc: quia lugebitis et flebitis.
Woe to you who have been filled—because you will hunger. Woe to you who are laughing now—because 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 will speak well of you—for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
27 Sed vobis dico, qui auditis: Diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his, qui oderunt vos.
But I say to you who are hearing, love your enemies, do good to those hating you,
28 Benedicite maledicentibus vobis, et orate pro calumniantibus vos.
bless those cursing you, pray for those maligning you;
29 Et qui te percutit in maxillam unam, praebe illi et alteram. Et ab eo, qui aufert tibi vestimentum, etiam tunicam noli prohibere.
and to him striking you on the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from you the mantle, also the coat you may not keep back.
30 Omni autem petenti te, tribue: et qui aufert quae tua sunt, ne repetas.
And to everyone who is asking of you, be giving; and from him who is taking away your goods, do not be asking again;
31 Et prout vultis ut faciant vobis homines, et vos facite illis similiter.
and as you wish that men may do to you, do also to them in like manner;
32 Et si diligitis eos, qui vos diligunt, quae vobis est gratia? nam et peccatores diligentes se diligunt.
and—if you love those loving you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful love those loving them;
33 Et si benefeceritis his, qui vobis benefaciunt; quae vobis est gratia? siquidem et peccatores hoc faciunt.
and if you do good to those doing good to you, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful 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] of whom you hope to receive back, what grace is it to you? For also the sinful lend to sinners—that they may receive again as much.
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, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest, because He is kind to the ungracious and evil;
36 Estote ergo misericordes sicut et Pater vester misericors est.
be therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.
37 Nolite iudicare, et non iudicabimini: nolite condemnare, et non condemnabimini. Dimitte, et dimittemini.
And do not judge, and you may not be judged; do not condemn, and you may not be condemned; release, and you will be released.
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; good measure, pressed, and shaken, and running over, they will give into your bosom; for with that measure with which you measure, it will be measured to you again.”
39 Dicebat autem illis et similitudinem: Numquid potest caecus caecum ducere? nonne ambo in foveam cadunt?
And He spoke an allegory to them, “Is blind able to lead blind? 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 perfected will be as his teacher.
41 Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui, trabem autem, quae in oculo tuo est, non consideras?
And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] 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.
Or how are you able to say to your brother, Brother, permit, I may take out the speck that [is] in your eye—yourself not beholding the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye.
43 Non est enim arbor bona, quae facit fructus malos: neque arbor mala, faciens fructum bonum.
For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making 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 from its own fruit, for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they crop a grape from a bramble.
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 out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which [is] evil; for out of the abounding of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 Quid autem vocatis me Domine, Domine: et non facitis quae dico?
And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
47 Omnis, qui venit ad me, et audit sermones meos, et facit eos: ostendam vobis cui similis sit:
Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom he is like:
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 to a man building a house, who dug and deepened, and laid a foundation on the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
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.
And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
