18:1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,

18:1 And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint,

18:2 dicens : Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.

18:2 Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man.

18:3 Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens : Vindica me de adversario meo.

18:3 And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.

18:4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autem dixit intra se : Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor :

18:4 And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man,

18:5 tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens sugillet me.

18:5 Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.

18:6 Ait autem Dominus : Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit :

18:6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.

18:7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis ?

18:7 And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard?

18:8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra ?

18:8 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?

18:9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam :

18:9 And to some who trusted in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable:

18:10 Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent : unus pharisæus et alter publicanus.

18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee and the other a publican.

18:11 Pharisæus stans, hæc apud se orabat : Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum : raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus :

18:11 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.

18:12 jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quæ possideo.

18:12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.

18:13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad cælum levare : sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens : Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

18:13 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.

18:14 Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo : quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.

18:14 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.

18:15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.

18:15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.

18:16 Jesus autem convocans illos, dixit : Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos : talium est enim regnum Dei.

18:16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

18:17 Amen dico vobis, quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.

18:17 Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child shall not enter into it.

18:18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens : Magister bone, quid faciens vitam æternam possidebo ?

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

18:19 Dixit autem ei Jesus : Quid me dicis bonum ? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.

18:19 And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.

18:20 Mandata nosti : non occides ; non mœchaberis ; non furtum facies ; non falsum testimonium dices ; honora patrem tuum et matrem.

18:20 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.

18:21 Qui ait : Hæc omnia custodivi a juventute mea.

18:21 Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.

18:22 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.

18:22 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.

18:23 His ille auditis, contristatus est : quia dives erat valde.

18:23 He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich.

18:24 Videns autem Jesus illum tristem factum, dixit : Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt !

18:24 And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.

18:25 facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.

18:25 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.

18:26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant : Et quis potest salvus fieri ?

18:26 And they that heard it said: Who then can be saved?

18:27 Ait illis : Quæ impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.

18:27 He said to them: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

18:28 Ait autem Petrus : Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.

18:28 Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee.

18:29 Qui dixit eis : Amen dico vobis, nemo est qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,

18:29 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,

18:30 et non recipiat multo plura in hoc tempore, et in sæculo venturo vitam æternam.

18:30 Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

18:31 Assumpsit autem Jesus duodecim, et ait illis : Ecce ascendimus Jerosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia quæ scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis :

18:31 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.

18:32 tradetur enim gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur :

18:32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon.

18:33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.

18:33 And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death. And the third day he shall rise again.

18:34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quæ dicebantur.

18:34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them: and they understood not the things that were said.

18:35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Jericho, cæcus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.

18:35 Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.

18:36 Et cum audiret turbam prætereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.

18:36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.

18:37 Dixerunt autem ei quod Jesus Nazarenus transiret.

18:37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

18:38 Et clamavit, dicens : Jesu, fili David, miserere mei.

18:38 And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

18:39 Et qui præibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat : Fili David, miserere mei.

18:39 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.

18:40 Stans autem Jesus jussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,

18:40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,

18:41 dicens : Quid tibi vis faciam ? At ille dixit : Domine, ut videam.

18:41 Saying; What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.

18:42 Et Jesus dixit illi : Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.

18:42 And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.

18:43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.

18:43 And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
