Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:
1Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,
2“In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected men.
2dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.
3And there was a widow in that town who kept appealing to him, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
3Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.
4For a while he refused, but later he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect men,
4Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:
5yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice. Then she will stop wearing me out with her perpetual requests.’”
5tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.
6And the Lord said, “Listen to the words of the unjust judge.
6Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit:
7Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He continue to defer their help?
7Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?
8I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”
8Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?
9To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable:
9Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
10Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.
11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
11Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat: Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus:
12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’
12jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.
13But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
13Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.
14I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
14Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
15Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. And when the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who brought them.
15Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.
16But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
16Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos: talium est enim regnum Dei.
17Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
17Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.
18Then a certain ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo?
19“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19Dixit autem ei Jesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.
20You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
20Mandata nosti: non occides; non mœchaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem.
21“All these I have kept from my youth,” he said.
21Qui ait: Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea.
22On hearing this, Jesus told him, “You still lack one thing: Sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22Quo audito, Jesus ait ei: Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quæcumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in cælo: et veni, sequere me.
23But when the ruler heard this, he became very sad, because he was extremely wealthy.
23His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.
24Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
24Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt !
25Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.
26Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?
27But Jesus said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
27Ait illis: Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.
28“Look,” said Peter, “we have left all we had to follow You.”
28Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.
29“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
29Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,
30will fail to receive many times more in this age—and in the age to come, eternal life.”
30et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam.
31Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
31Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:
32He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:
33They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”
33et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.
34But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
34Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur.
35As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.
35Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.
36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
36Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.
37“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.
37Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.
38So he called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
38Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.
39Those who led the way admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei.
40Jesus stopped and directed that the man be brought to Him. When he had been brought near, Jesus asked him,
40Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,
41“What do you want Me to do for you?” “Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”
41dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam.
42“Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.”
42Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.
43Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.
43Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
