Luke 18

And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint,

Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,

Ἔλεγεν δὲ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐγκακεῖν,

Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man.

dicens : Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.

λέγων: κριτής τις ἦν ἔν τινι πόλει τὸν θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος.

And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.

Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens : Vindica me de adversario meo.

χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα: ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου.

And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man,

Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se : Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:

καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν ἐπὶ χρόνον: μετὰ ταῦτα δὲ εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ: εἰ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐντρέπομαι,

Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.

διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην, ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με.

And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.

Ait autem Dominus : Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit:

εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος, ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει:

And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard?

Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?

ὁ δὲ θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων αὐτῷ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπ' αὐτοῖς;

I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?

Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?

λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς;

And to some who trusted in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:

Εἶπεν δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφ' ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶν δίκαιοι καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιποὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην:

Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee and the other a publican.

Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent : unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.

Ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, εἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.

The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.

Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat : Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum : raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus:

ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς ταῦτα πρὸς ἑαυτὸν προσηύχετο: ὁ θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης:

I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.

jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.

νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατεύω πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare : sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens : Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

ὁ δὲ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἀλλ' ἔτυπτεν τὸ στῆθος ἑαυτοῦ λέγων: ὁ θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.

I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo : quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.

λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ παρ' ἐκεῖνον: ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.

And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.

Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.

Προσέφερον δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ τὰ βρέφη ἵνα αὐτῶν ἅπτηται: ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἐπετίμων αὐτοῖς.

But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit : Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos : talium est enim regnum Dei.

ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς προσεκαλέσατο [αὐτὰ] λέγων: ἄφετε τὰ παιδία ἔρχεσθαι πρός με καὶ μὴ κωλύετε αὐτά: τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.

Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter into it.

Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.

ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὃς ἂν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν.

And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?

Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens : Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo?

Καὶ ἐπηρώτησέν τις αὐτὸν ἄρχων λέγων: διδάσκαλε ἀγαθέ, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω;

And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.

Dixit autem ei Jesus : Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς: τί με λέγεις ἀγαθόν; οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς [ὁ] θεός.

Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.

Mandata nosti : non occides; non mœchaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem.

τὰς ἐντολὰς οἶδας: μὴ μοιχεύσῃς, μὴ φονεύσῃς, μὴ κλέψῃς, μὴ ψευδομαρτυρήσῃς, τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα.

Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.

Qui ait : Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: ταῦτα πάντα ἐφύλαξα ἐκ νεότητος.

Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee. Sell all whatever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.

Quo audito, Jesus ait ei : Adhuc unum tibi deest : omnia quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo : et veni, sequere me.

ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ: ἔτι ἕν σοι λείπει: πάντα ὅσα ἔχεις πώλησον καὶ διάδος πτωχοῖς, καὶ ἕξεις θησαυρὸν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, καὶ δεῦρο ἀκολούθει μοι.

He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich.

His ille auditis, contristatus est : quia dives erat valde.

ὁ δὲ ἀκούσας ταῦτα περίλυπος ἐγενήθη, ἦν γὰρ πλούσιος σφόδρα.

And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God:

Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit : Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!

ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν [ὁ] Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν: πῶς δυσκόλως οἱ τὰ χρήματα ἔχοντες εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσπορεύονται:

For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.

εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστιν κάμηλον διὰ τρήματος βελόνης εἰσελθεῖν ἢ πλούσιον εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσελθεῖν.

And they that heard it said: Who then can be saved?

Et dixerunt qui audiebant : Et quis potest salvus fieri?

εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἀκούσαντες: καὶ τίς δύναται σωθῆναι;

He said to them: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

Ait illis : Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: τὰ ἀδύνατα παρὰ ἀνθρώποις δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ θεῷ ἐστιν.

Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.

Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.

Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Πέτρος: ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ἀφέντες τὰ ἴδια ἠκολουθήσαμέν σοι.

Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left home or parents or brethren or wife or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,

Qui dixit eis : Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,

ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς: ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅτι οὐδείς ἐστιν ὃς ἀφῆκεν οἰκίαν ἢ γυναῖκα ἢ ἀδελφοὺς ἢ γονεῖς ἢ τέκνα ἕνεκεν τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ,

Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam.

ὃς οὐχὶ μὴ λάβῃ πολλαπλασίονα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ, καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

Then Jesus took unto him the twelve and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.

Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis : Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:

Παραλαβὼν δὲ τοὺς δώδεκα εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς: ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνομεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ τελεσθήσεται πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου:

For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon.

tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:

παραδοθήσεται γὰρ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ ἐμπαιχθήσεται καὶ ὑβρισθήσεται καὶ ἐμπτυσθήσεται,

And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death. And the third day he shall rise again.

et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.

καὶ μαστιγώσαντες ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναστήσεται.

And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them: and they understood not the things that were said.

Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur.

καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν, καὶ ἦν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο κεκρυμμένον ἀπ' αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγίνωσκον τὰ λεγόμενα.

Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.

Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.

Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰεριχὼ τυφλός τις ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐπαιτῶν.

And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.

Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.

ἀκούσας δὲ ὄχλου διαπορευομένου ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη τοῦτο:

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.

ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος παρέρχεται.

And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

Et clamavit, dicens : Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.

καὶ ἐβόησεν λέγων: Ἰησοῦ υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.

Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat : Fili David, miserere mei.

καὶ οἱ προάγοντες ἐπετίμων αὐτῷ ἵνα σιγήσῃ: αὐτὸς δὲ πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἔκραζεν: υἱὲ Δαυίδ, ἐλέησόν με.

And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,

Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,

σταθεὶς δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ἀχθῆναι πρὸς αὐτόν. ἐγγίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν:

Saying; What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.

dicens : Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit : Domine, ut videam.

τί σοι θέλεις ποιήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν: κύριε, ἵνα ἀναβλέψω.

And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Et Jesus dixit illi : Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.

καὶ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ: ἀνάβλεψον: ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε.

And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.

καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψεν, καὶ ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ δοξάζων τὸν θεόν. καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἰδὼν ἔδωκεν αἶνον τῷ θεῷ.
