1Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,
1And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
2dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.
2Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
3Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.
3And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:
4And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
5tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.
5Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit:
6And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?
7And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
8Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?
8I 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?
9Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam:
9And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent: unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.
10Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat: Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus:
11The 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.
12jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.
12I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
13Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.
13And 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.
14Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo: quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
14I 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.
15Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.
15And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
16Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos: talium est enim regnum Dei.
16But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.
17Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
18Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo?
18And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?
19Dixit autem ei Jesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.
19And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
20Mandata nosti: non occides; non mœchaberis; non furtum facies; non falsum testimonium dices; honora patrem tuum et matrem.
20Thou 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.
21Qui ait: Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea.
21Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
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.
22Which 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.
23His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.
23He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt !
24And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
25facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.
25For 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.
26Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?
26And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
27Ait illis: Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.
27He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.
28Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,
29Who 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,
30et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam.
30Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis:
31Then 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.
32tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:
32For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.
33And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
34Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur.
34And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
35Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.
35Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.
36And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.
37And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38Et clamavit, dicens: Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.
38And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David, miserere mei.
39And 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.
40Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,
40And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine, ut videam.
41Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42Et Jesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.
42And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
43And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
