Vangelo secondo Luca 12

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Interea multis turbis cir cumstantibus, ita ut se invi cem conculcarent,coepit dicere ad discipulos suos primum: “ Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum,quod est hypocrisis.	1 Then, as great crowds were standing so close that they were stepping on one another, he began to say to his disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur, nequeabsconditum, quod non sciatur.	2 For there is nothing covered, which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden, which will not be known.
3 Quoniam, quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumineaudientur; et, quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis.	3 For the things that you have spoken in darkness will be declared in the light. And what you have said in the ear in bedrooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 Dico autem vobis amicis meis: Ne terreamini ab his, qui occidunt corpus etpost haec non habent amplius, quod faciant.	4 So I say to you, my friends: Do not be fearful of those who kill the body, and afterwards have no more that they can do.
5 Ostendam autem vobis quemtimeatis: Timete eum, qui postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere ingehennam. Ita dico vobis: Hunc timete.	5 But I will reveal to you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he will have killed, has the power to cast into Hell. So I say to you: Fear him.
6 Nonne quinque passeres veneuntdipundio? Et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo.	6 Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? And yet not one of these is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Sed et capillicapitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite timere; multis passeribus plurisestis.	7 But even the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
8 Dico autem vobis: Omnis, quicumque confessus fuerit in me coram hominibus, etFilius hominis confitebitur in illo coram angelis Dei;	8 But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the Angels of God.
9 qui autem negaverit mecoram hominibus, denegabitur coram angelis Dei.	9 But everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God.
10 Et omnis, qui dicet verbum in Filium hominis, remittetur illi; ei autem, quiin Spiritum Sanctum blasphemaverit, non remittetur.	10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 Cum autem inducent vos in synagogas et ad magistratus et potestates, nolitesolliciti esse qualiter aut quid respondeatis aut quid dicatis:	11 And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say.
12 Spiritus enimSanctus docebit vos in ipsa hora, quae oporteat dicere ”.	12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.”
13 Ait autem quidam ei de turba: “ Magister, dic fratri meo, ut dividat mecumhereditatem ”.	13 And someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”
14 At ille dixit ei: “ Homo, quis me constituit iudicem autdivisorem super vos? ”.	14 But he said to him, “Man, who has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?”
15 Dixitque ad illos: “ Videte et cavete ab omniavaritia, quia si cui res abundant, vita eius non est ex his, quae possidet ”.	15 So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that he possesses.”
16 Dixit autem similitudinem ad illos dicens: “ Hominis cuiusdam divitisuberes fructus ager attulit.	16 Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.
17 Et cogitabat intra se dicens: “Quid faciam,quod non habeo, quo congregem fructus meos?”.	17 And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’
18 Et dixit: “Hoc faciam:destruam horrea mea et maiora aedificabo et illuc congregabo omne triticum etbona mea;	18 And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods.
19 et dicam animae meae: Anima, habes multa bona posita in annosplurimos; requiesce, comede, bibe, epulare”.	19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’
20 Dixit autem illi Deus: “Stulte!Hac nocte animam tuam repetunt a te; quae autem parasti, cuius erunt?”.	20 But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’
21 Sicest qui sibi thesaurizat et non fit in Deum dives ”.	21 So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God.”
22 Dixitque ad discipulos suos: “ Ideo dico vobis: nolite solliciti esseanimae quid manducetis, neque corpori quid vestiamini.	22 And he said to his disciples: “And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear.
23 Anima enim plus est quam esca, et corpus quam vestimentum.	23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
24 Consideratecorvos, quia non seminant neque metunt, quibus non est cellarium neque horreum,et Deus pascit illos; quanto magis vos pluris estis volucribus.	24 Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?
25 Quis autemvestrum cogitando potest adicere ad aetatem suam cubitum?	25 But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
26 Si ergo neque, quodminimum est, potestis, quid de ceteris solliciti estis?	26 Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be anxious about the rest?
27 Considerate liliaquomodo crescunt: non laborant neque nent; dico autem vobis: Nec Salomon in omnigloria sua vestiebatur sicut unum ex istis.	27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.
28 Si autem fenum, quod hodie inagro est et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos,pusillae fidei.	28 Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith?
29 Et vos nolite quaerere quid manducetis aut quid bibatis etnolite solliciti esse.	29 And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.
30 Haec enim omnia gentes mundi quaerunt; Pater autemvester scit quoniam his indigetis.	30 For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Verumtamen quaerite regnum eius; et haecadicientur vobis.	31 Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you.
32 Noli timere, pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum.	32 Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.
33 Vendite, quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui nonveterescunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis, quo fur non appropiat, nequetinea corrumpit;	33 Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts.
34 ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.	34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Sint lumbi vestri praecincti et lucernae ardentes,	35 Let your waists be girded, and let lamps be burning in your hands.
36 et vos simileshominibus exspectantibus dominum suum, quando revertatur a nuptiis, ut, cumvenerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei.	36 And let you yourselves be like men awaiting their lord, when he will return from the wedding; so that, when he arrives and knocks, they may open to him promptly.
37 Beati, servi illi, quos, cumvenerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes. Amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se etfaciet illos discumbere et transiens ministrabit illis.	37 Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to them.
38 Et si venerit insecunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati suntilli.	38 And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants.
39 Hoc autem scitote, quia, si sciret pater familias, qua hora furveniret, non sineret perfodi domum suam.	39 But know this: that if the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly stand watch, and he would not permit his house to be broken into.
40 Et vos estote parati, quia, qua horanon putatis, Filius hominis venit ”.	40 You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize.”
41 Ait autem Petrus: “ Domine, ad nos dicis hanc parabolam an et ad omnes? ”.	41 Then Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or also to everyone?”
42 Et dixit Dominus: “ Quis putas est fidelis dispensator et prudens, quemconstituet dominus super familiam suam, ut det illis in tempore triticimensuram?	42 So the Lord said: “Who do you think is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his Lord has appointed over his family, in order to give them their measure of wheat in due time?
43 Beatus ille servus, quem, cum venerit dominus eius, invenerit itafacientem.	43 Blessed is that servant if, when his Lord will return, he will find him acting in this manner.
44 Vere dico vobis: Supra omnia, quae possidet, constituet illum.	44 Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all that he possesses.
45 Quod si dixerit servus ille in corde suo: “Moram facit dominus meus venire”,et coeperit percutere pueros et ancillas et edere et bibere et inebriari,	45 But if that servant will have said in his heart, ‘My Lord has made a delay in his return,’ and if he has begun to strike the men and women servants, and to eat and drink, and to be inebriated,
46 veniet dominus servi illius in die, qua non sperat, et hora, qua nescit, etdividet eum partemque eius cum infidelibus ponet.	46 then the Lord of that servant will return on a day which he hoped not, and at an hour which he knew not. And he will separate him, and he will place his portion with that of the unfaithful.
47 Ille autem servus, quicognovit voluntatem domini sui et non praeparavit vel non fecit secundumvoluntatem eius, vapulabit multis;	47 And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.
48 qui autem non cognovit et fecit dignaplagis, vapulabit paucis. Omni autem, cui multum datum est, multum quaeretur abeo; et cui commendaverunt multum, plus petent ab eo.	48 Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. So then, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be asked.
49 Ignem veni mittere in terram et quid volo? Si iam accensus esset!	49 I have come to cast a fire upon the earth. And what should I desire, except that it may be kindled?
50 Baptismaautem habeo baptizari et quomodo coartor, usque dum perficiatur!	50 And I have a baptism, with which I am to be baptized. And how I am constrained, even until it may be accomplished!
51 Putatis quiapacem veni dare in terram? Non, dico vobis, sed separationem.	51 Do you think that I have come to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 Erunt enim exhoc quinque in domo una divisi: tres in duo, et duo in tres;	52 For from this time on, there will be five in one house: divided as three against two, and as two against three.
53 dividentur paterin filium et filius in patrem, mater in filiam et filia in matrem, socrus innurum suam et nurus in socrum ”.	53 A father will be divided against a son, and a son against his father; a mother against a daughter and a daughter against a mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Dicebat autem et ad turbas: “ Cum videritis nubem orientem ab occasu,statim dicitis: “Nimbus venit”, et ita fit;	54 And he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising from the setting of the sun, immediately you say, ‘A rain cloud is coming.’ And so it does.
55 et cum austrum flantem,dicitis: “Aestus erit”, et fit.	55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘It will be hot.’ And so it is.
56 Hypocritae, faciem terrae et caeli nostisprobare, hoc autem tempus quomodo nescitis probare?	56 You hypocrites! You discern the face of the heavens, and of the earth, yet how is it that you do not discern this time?
57 Quid autem et a vobisipsis non iudicatis, quod iustum est?	57 And why do you not, even among yourselves, judge what is just?
58 Cum autem vadis cum adversario tuo ad principem, in via da operam liberari abillo, ne forte trahat te apud iudicem, et iudex tradat te exactori, et exactormittat te in carcerem.	58 So, when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make an effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he may lead you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison.
59 Dico tibi: Non exies inde, donec etiam novissimumminutum reddas ”.	59 I tell you, you will not depart from there, until you have paid the very last coin.”
