Lucas 13

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nuntiantes illi de Galilæis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum.	1 At that time some people who were present there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
2 Et respondens dixit illis : Putatis quod hi Galilæi præ omnibus Galilæis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt ?	2 He said to them in reply, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
3 Non, dico vobis : sed nisi pœnitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis.	3 By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!
4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Siloë, et occidit eos : putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint præter omnes homines habitantes in Jerusalem ?	4 Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them --do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
5 Non, dico vobis : sed si pœnitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis.	5 By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!"
6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem : Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quærens fructum in illa, et non invenit.	6 And he told them this parable: "There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
7 Dixit autem ad cultorem vineæ : Ecce anni tres sunt ex quo venio quærens fructum in ficulnea hac, et non invenio : succide ergo illam : ut quid etiam terram occupat ?	7 he said to the gardener, 'For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. (So) cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?'
8 At ille respondens, dicit illi : Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora,	8 He said to him in reply, 'Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
9 et siquidem fecerit fructum : sin autem, in futurum succides eam.	9 it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.'"
10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis.	10 He was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath.
11 Et ecce mulier, quæ habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo : et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere.	11 And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect.
12 Quam cum videret Jesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi : Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua.	12 When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you are set free of your infirmity."
13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum.	13 He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God.
14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia sabbato curasset Jesus, dicebat turbæ : Sex dies sunt in quibus oportet operari : in his ergo venite, et curamini, et non in die sabbati.	14 But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, "There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day."
15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus, dixit : Hypocritæ, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a præsepio, et ducit adaquare ?	15 The Lord said to him in reply, "Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering?
16 Hanc autem filiam Abrahæ, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati ?	16 This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?"
17 Et cum hæc diceret, erubescebant omnes adversarii ejus : et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, quæ gloriose fiebant ab eo.	17 When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.
18 Dicebat ergo : Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile æstimabo illud ?	18 Then he said, "What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
19 Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam : et volucres cæli requieverunt in ramis ejus.	19 It is like a mustard seed that a person took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown, it became a large bush and 'the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.'"
20 Et iterum dixit : Cui simile æstimabo regnum Dei ?	20 Again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinæ sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.	21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed (in) with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was leavened."
22 Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Jerusalem.	22 He passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.
23 Ait autem illi quidam : Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur ? Ipse autem dixit ad illos :	23 Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" He answered them,
24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam : quia multi, dico vobis, quærent intrare, et non poterunt.	24 "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.
25 Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes : Domine, aperi nobis : et respondens dicet vobis : Nescio vos unde sitis :	25 After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, 'Lord, open the door for us.' He will say to you in reply, 'I do not know where you are from.'
26 tunc incipietis dicere : Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti.	26 And you will say, 'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.'
27 Et dicet vobis : Nescio vos unde sitis : discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis.	27 Then he will say to you, 'I do not know where (you) are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!'
28 Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium : cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et omnes prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras.	28 And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out.
29 Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei.	29 And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi.	30 For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."
31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam pharisæorum, dicentes illi : Exi, et vade hinc : quia Herodes vult te occidere.	31 At that time some Pharisees came to him and said, "Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you."
32 Et ait illis : Ite, et dicite vulpi illi : Ecce ejicio dæmonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor.	32 He replied, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.
33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare : quia non capit prophetam perire extra Jerusalem.	33 Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day, for it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.'
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, quæ occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te, quoties volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti ?	34 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!
35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis : Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.	35 Behold, your house will be abandoned. (But) I tell you, you will not see me until (the time comes when) you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
