Evangelium secundum Lucam, 18

1. dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere

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

2. dicens judex quidam erat in quadam civitate qui Deum non timebat et hominem non verebatur

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

3. vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa et veniebat ad eum dicens vindica me de adversario meo

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

4. et nolebat per multum tempus post hæc autem dixit intra se et si Deum non timeo nec hominem revereor

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

5. tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua vindicabo illam ne in novissimo veniens suggillet me

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

6. ait autem Dominus audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit

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

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

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

8. dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum verumtamen Filius hominis veniens putas inveniet fidem in terra

8. 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?

9. dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi et aspernabantur ceteros parabolam istam

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

10. duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent unus Pharisæus et alter publicanus

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

11. Pharisæus stans hæc apud se orabat Deus gratias ago tibi quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum raptores iniusti adulteri vel ut etiam hic publicanus

11. 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.

12. jejuno bis in sabbato decimas do omnium quæ possideo

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

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

13. 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.

14. dico vobis descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo quia omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur et qui se humiliat exaltabitur

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

15. adferebant autem ad illum et infantes ut eos tangeret quod cum viderent discipuli increpabant illos

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

16. Jesus autem convocans illos dixit sinite pueros venire ad me et nolite eos vetare talium est enim regnum Dei

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

17. amen dico vobis quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer non intrabit in illud

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

18. et interrogavit eum quidam princeps dicens magister bone quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo

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

19. dixit autem ei Jesus quid me dicis bonum nemo bonus nisi solus Deus

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

20. mandata nosti non occides non mœchaberis non furtum facies non falsum testimonium dices honora patrem tuum et matrem

20. 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.

21. qui ait hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea

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

22. 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

22. 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.

23. his ille auditis contristatus est quia dives erat valde

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

24. videns autem illum Jesus tristem factum dixit quam difficile qui pecunias habent in regnum Dei intrabunt

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

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

25. 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.

26. et dixerunt qui audiebant et quis potest salvus fieri

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

27. ait illis quæ inpossibilia sunt apud homines possibilia sunt apud Deum

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

28. ait autem Petrus ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te

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

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

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

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

31. adsumpsit autem Jesus duodecim et ait illis ecce ascendimus Hierosolyma et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis

31. 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.

32. tradetur enim gentibus et inludetur et flagellabitur et conspuetur

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

33. et postquam flagellaverint occident eum et die tertia resurget

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

34. et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis et non intellegebant quæ dicebantur

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

35. factum est autem cum adpropinquaret Hiericho cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam mendicans

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

36. et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem interrogabat quid hoc esset

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

37. dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret

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

38. et clamavit dicens Jesu Fili David miserere mei

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

39. et qui præibant increpabant eum ut taceret ipse vero multo magis clamabat Fili David miserere mei

39. 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.

40. stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se et cum adpropinquasset interrogavit illum

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

41. dicens quid tibi vis faciam at ille dixit Domine ut videam

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

42. et Jesus dixit illi respice fides tua te salvum fecit

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

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

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