Luke 11

1Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.'

και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τοπω τινι προσευχομενον, ως επαυσατο, ειπεν τις των μαθητων αυτου προς αυτον· κυριε, διδαξον ημας προσευχεσθαι, καθως και ιωαννης εδιδαξεν τους μαθητας αυτου.

2So He said to them, 'When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

ειπεν δε αυτοις· οταν προσευχησθε, λεγετε· πατερ ημων ο εν τοις ουρανοις· αγιασθητω το ονομα σου· ελθετω η βασιλεια σου· γενηθητω το θελημα σου, ως εν ουρανω, και επι της γης·

3Give us day by day our daily bread.

τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον διδου ημιν το καθ ημεραν·

4And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.'

και αφες ημιν τας αμαρτιας ημων· και γαρ αυτοι αφιεμεν παντι τω οφειλοντι ημιν· και μη εισενεγκης ημας εις πειρασμον, αλλα ρυσαι ημας απο του πονηρου.

5And He said to them, 'Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;

και ειπεν προς αυτους· τις εξ υμων εξει φιλον, και πορευσεται προς αυτον μεσονυκτιου και ερει αυτω· φιλε, χρησον μοι τρεις αρτους,

6for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

επειδη φιλος μου παρεγενετο εξ οδου προς με και ουκ εχω ο παραθησω αυτω·

7and he will answer from within and say, 'Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you'?

κακεινος εσωθεν αποκριθεις ειπη· μη μοι κοπους παρεχε· ηδη η θυρα κεκλεισται και τα παιδια μου μετ εμου εις την κοιτην εισιν· ου δυναμαι αναστας δουναι σοι;

8I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

λεγω υμιν, ει και ου δωσει αυτω αναστας δια το ειναι αυτου φιλον, δια γε την αναιδειαν αυτου εγερθεις δωσει αυτω οσων χρηζει.

9'So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

καγω υμιν λεγω, αιτειτε, και δοθησεται υμιν, ζητειτε, και ευρησετε, κρουετε, και ανοιγησεται υμιν·

10For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

πας γαρ ο αιτων λαμβανει και ο ζητων ευρισκει και τω κρουοντι ανοιχθησεται.

11If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

τινα δε εξ υμων τον πατερα αιτησει ο υιος αρτον, μη λιθον επιδωσει αυτω; η και ιχθυν, μη αντι ιχθυος οφιν επιδωσει αυτω;

12Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

η και εαν αιτηση ωον, μη επιδωσει αυτω σκορπιον;

13If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!'

ει ουν υμεις, υπαρχοντες πονηροι, οιδατε δοματα αγαθα διδοναι τοις τεκνοις υμων, ποσω μαλλον ο πατηρ ο εξ ουρανου δωσει πνευμα αγαθον τοις αιτουσιν αυτον;

14And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

και ην εκβαλλων δαιμονιον, και αυτο ην κωφον· εγενετο δε του δαιμονιου εξελθοντος ελαλησεν ο κωφος, και εθαυμαζον οι οχλοι·

15But some of them said, 'He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.'

τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον· εν βεελζεβουλ τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια.

16Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.

ετεροι δε πειραζοντες σημειον παρ αυτου εζητουν εξ ουρανου.

17But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: 'Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.

αυτος δε ειδως αυτων τα διανοηματα ειπεν αυτοις· πασα βασιλεια εφ εαυτην διαμερισθεισα, ερημουται, και οικος επι οικον, πιπτει.

18If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

ει δε και ο σατανας εφ εαυτον διεμερισθη, πως σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου, οτι λεγετε εν βεελζεβουλ με εκβαλλειν τα δαιμονια;

19And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

ει δε εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλουσιν; δια τουτο αυτοι κριται υμων εσονται.

20But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

ει δε εν δακτυλω θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια, αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του θεου.

21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.

οταν ο ισχυρος καθωπλισμενος φυλασση την εαυτου αυλην, εν ειρηνη εστιν τα υπαρχοντα αυτου·

22But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

επαν δε ο ισχυροτερος αυτου επελθων νικηση αυτον, την πανοπλιαν αυτου αιρει, εφ η επεποιθει, και τα σκυλα αυτου διαδιδωσιν.

23He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν, και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει.

24'When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'

οταν το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου, διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν, και μη ευρισκον λεγει· υποστρεψω εις τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον·

25And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order.

και ελθον ευρισκει σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον.

26Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.'

τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου, και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει, και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων.

27And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, 'Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!'

εγενετο δε εν τω λεγειν αυτον ταυτα επαρασα τις γυνη φωνην εκ του οχλου ειπεν αυτω· μακαρια η κοιλια η βαστασασα σε και μαστοι ους εθηλασας.

28But He said, 'More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!'

αυτος δε ειπεν· μενουνγε μακαριοι οι ακουοντες τον λογον του θεου και φυλασσοντες αυτον.

29And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, 'This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

των δε οχλων επαθροιζομενων ηρξατο λεγειν· η γενεα αυτη γενεα πονηρα εστιν· σημειον ζητει, και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου.

30For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

καθως γαρ εγενετο ιωνας σημειον τοις νινευιταις, ουτως εσται και ο υιος του ανθρωπου τη γενεα ταυτη σημειον.

31The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.

βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα των ανδρων της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτους, οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωντος, και ιδου πλειον σολομωντος ωδε.

32The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

ανδρες νινευι αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην, οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα ιωνα, και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε.

33'No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

ουδεις δε λυχνον αψας εις κρυπτην τιθησιν ουδε υπο τον μοδιον, αλλ επι την λυχνιαν, ινα οι εισπορευομενοι το φεγγος βλεπωσιν.

34The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

ο λυχνος του σωματος εστιν ο οφθαλμος· οταν ουν ο οφθαλμος σου απλους η, και ολον το σωμα σου φωτεινον εστιν· επαν δε πονηρος η, και το σωμα σου σκοτεινον.

35Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.

σκοπει ουν μη το φως το εν σοι σκοτος εστιν.

36If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.'

ει ουν το σωμα σου ολον φωτεινον, μη εχον τι μερος σκοτεινον, εσται φωτεινον ολον ως οταν ο λυχνος τη αστραπη φωτιζη σε.

37And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

εν δε τω λαλησαι αυτον ταυτα ηρωτα αυτον φαρισαιος τις οπως αριστηση παρ αυτω· εισελθων δε ανεπεσεν.

38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

ο δε φαρισαιος ιδων εθαυμασεν οτι ου πρωτον εβαπτισθη προ του αριστου.

39Then the Lord said to him, 'Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.

ειπεν δε ο κυριος προς αυτον· νυν υμεις οι φαρισαιοι το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και του πινακος καθαριζετε, το δε εσωθεν υμων γεμει αρπαγης και πονηριας.

40Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

αφρονες! ουχ ο ποιησας το εξωθεν και το εσωθεν εποιησεν;

41But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

πλην τα ενοντα δοτε ελεημοσυνην, και ιδου απαντα καθαρα υμιν εσται.

42'But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

αλλ ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις, οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το πηγανον και παν λαχανον, και παρερχεσθε την κρισιν και την αγαπην του θεου· ταυτα δε εδει ποιησαι, κακεινα μη αφιεναι.

43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις, οτι αγαπατε την πρωτοκαθεδριαν εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις.

44Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.'

ουαι υμιν, γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται, οτι εστε ως τα μνημεια τα αδηλα, και οι ανθρωποι περιπατουντες επανω ουκ οιδασιν.

45Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, 'Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.'

αποκριθεις δε τις των νομικων λεγει αυτω· διδασκαλε, ταυτα λεγων και ημας υβριζεις.

46And He said, 'Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

ο δε ειπεν· και υμιν τοις νομικοις ουαι, οτι φορτιζετε τους ανθρωπους φορτια δυσβαστακτα, και αυτοι ενι των δακτυλων υμων ου προσψαυετε τοις φορτιοις.

47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

ουαι υμιν, οτι οικοδομειτε τα μνημεια των προφητων, οι δε πατερες υμων απεκτειναν αυτους.

48In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.

αρα μαρτυρειτε και συνευδοκειτε τοις εργοις των πατερων υμων, οτι αυτοι μεν απεκτειναν αυτους, υμεις δε οικοδομειτε αυτων τα μνημεια.

49Therefore the wisdom of God also said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,'

δια τουτο και η σοφια του θεου ειπεν· αποστελω εις αυτους προφητας και αποστολους, και εξ αυτων αποκτενουσιν και εκδιωξουσιν,

50that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,

ινα εκζητηθη το αιμα παντων των προφητων το εκχυνομενον απο καταβολης κοσμου απο της γενεας ταυτης,

51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

απο του αιματος αβελ εως του αιματος ζαχαριου του απολομενου μεταξυ του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου· ναι, λεγω υμιν, εκζητηθησεται απο της γενεας ταυτης.

52'Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.'

ουαι υμιν τοις νομικοις, οτι ηρατε την κλειδα της γνωσεως· αυτοι ουκ εισηλθετε, και τους εισερχομενους εκωλυσατε.

53And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,

λεγοντος δε αυτου προς αυτους ταυτα ηρξαντο οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι δεινως ενεχειν και αποστοματιζειν αυτον περι πλειονων,

54lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.

ενεδρευοντες αυτον, ζητουντες θηρευσαι τι εκ του στοματος αυτου, ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου.
