Lc 12:1Multīs autem turbīs circumstantibus, ita ut sē invicem conculcārent, coepit dīcere ad discipulōs suōs: Attendite ā fermentō pharisaeōrum, quod est hypocrisis.But, many crowds standing around, so that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples: "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Lc 12:2Nihil autem opertum est, quod nōn revēlētur: neque absconditum, quod nōn sciātur.But nothing is covered which will not be revealed: nor hidden which will not be known. Lc 12:3Quoniam quae in tenebrīs dīxistis, in lūmine dīcentur: et quod in aurem locūtī estis in cubiculīs, praedicābitur in tēctīs.For the things which you have said in the darkness will be said in the light: and what you have spoken into the ear in the bedrooms will be proclaimed on the roofs. Lc 12:4Dīcō autem vōbīs amīcīs meīs: Nē terreāminī ab hīs quī occīdunt corpus, et post haec nōn habent amplius quid faciant.But I say to you, my friends: Do not be terrified by those who kill the body, and after these things do not have anything more which they may do. Lc 12:5Ostendam autem vōbīs quem timeātis: timēte eum quī, postquam occīderit, habet potestātem mittere in gehennam: ita dīcō vōbīs, hunc timēte.But I will show you whom you should fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has power to send into Gehenna: so I say to you, fear this one.
Lc 12:6Nōnne quīnque passerēs vēneunt dipondiō, et ūnus ex illīs nōn est in oblīviōne cōram Deō?Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies, and not one of them is in forgetfulness before God? Lc 12:7Sed et capillī capitis vestrī omnēs numerātī sunt.But even the hairs of your head have all been numbered. Lc 12:7Nōlīte ergō timēre: multīs passeribus plūris estis vōs.Do not therefore fear: you are of more worth than many sparrows. Lc 12:8Dīcō autem vōbīs: Omnis quīcumque cōnfessus fuerit mē cōram hominibus, et Fīlius hominis cōnfitēbitur illum cōram angelīs Deī: quī autem negāverit mē cōram hominibus, negābitur cōram angelīs Deī.But I say to you: Everyone whoever has confessed me before people, the Son of Man too will confess him before the angels of God: but whoever has denied me before people will be denied before the angels of God. Lc 12:10Et omnis quī dīcit verbum in Fīlium hominis, remittētur illī: eī autem quī in Spīritum Sānctum blasphēmāverit, nōn remittētur.And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be let go for him: but for him who has blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be let go.
Lc 12:11Cum autem indūcent vōs in synagōgās, et ad magistrātūs, et potestātēs, nōlīte sollicitī esse quāliter, aut quid respondeātis, aut quid dīcātis.But when they lead you into synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not be anxious how, or what you should answer, or what you should say. Lc 12:12Spīritus enim Sānctus docēbit vōs in ipsā hōrā quid oporteat vōs dīcere.For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." Lc 12:13Ait autem eī quīdam dē turbā: Magister, dīc frātrī meō ut dīvidat mēcum haereditātem.And a certain one from the crowd said to him: "Master, tell my brother that he divide the inheritance with me." Lc 12:14At ille dīxit illī: Homō, quis mē cōnstituit jūdicem, aut dīvīsōrem super vōs?But he said to him: "Man, who appointed me judge or divider over you?" Lc 12:15Dīxitque ad illōs: Vidēte, et cavēte ab omnī avāritiā: quia nōn in abundantiā cujusquam vīta ejus est ex hīs quae possidet.And he said to them: "See, and beware of all greed: because not in anyone's abundance is his life, from the things which he possesses." Lc 12:16Dīxit autem similitūdinem ad illōs, dīcēns: Hominis cujusdam dīvitis ūberēs frūctūs ager attulit: et cōgitābat intrā sē dīcēns: Quid faciam, quia nōn habeō quō congregem frūctūs meōs?And he spoke a likeness to them, saying: "The field of a certain rich man brought forth plentiful fruits: and he was thinking within himself, saying: 'What shall I do, because I do not have where to gather my fruits?' Lc 12:18Et dīxit: Hoc faciam: dēstruam horrea mea, et mājōra faciam: et illūc congregābō omnia quae nāta sunt mihi, et bona mea, et dīcam animae meae: Anima, habēs multa bona posita in annōs plūrimōs: requiēsce, comede, bibe, epulāre.And he said: 'This I will do: I will pull down my barns, and make bigger ones: and there I will gather all the things which have grown for me, and my goods, and I will say to my soul: "Soul, you have many goods laid up for very many years: rest, eat, drink, feast."' Lc 12:20Dīxit autem illī Deus: Stulte, hāc nocte animam tuam repetunt ā tē: quae autem parāstī, cujus erunt?But God said to him: 'Fool, this night they demand your soul back from you: and the things which you have prepared, whose will they be?' Lc 12:21Sīc est quī sibi thēsaurizat, et nōn est in Deum dīves.So is he who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God."
Lc 12:22Dīxitque ad discipulōs suōs: Ideō dīcō vōbīs, nōlīte sollicitī esse animae vestrae quid mandūcētis, neque corporī quid induāminī.And he said to his disciples: "Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you are to eat, nor for your body, what you are to put on. Lc 12:23Anima plūs est quam ēsca, et corpus plūs quam vestīmentum.The life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Lc 12:24Cōnsīderāte corvōs, quia nōn sēminant, neque metunt, quibus nōn est cellārium, neque horreum, et Deus pāscit illōs.Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, who have no storeroom, nor barn, and God feeds them. Lc 12:24Quantō magis vōs plūris estis illīs?How much more are you of more worth than they? Lc 12:25Quis autem vestrum cōgitandō potest adjicere ad statūram suam cubitum ūnum?But which of you by thinking can add one cubit to his stature? Lc 12:26Sī ergō neque quod minimum est potestis, quid dē cēterīs sollicitī estis?If therefore you cannot do even what is least, why are you anxious about the rest? Lc 12:27Cōnsīderātē līlia quōmodo crēscunt: nōn labōrant, neque nent: dīcō autem vōbīs, nec Salomōn in omnī glōriā suā vestiēbātur sīcut ūnum ex istīs.Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not labour, nor spin: but I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
Lc 12:28Sī autem foenum, quod hodiē est in agrō, et crās in clībanum mittitur, Deus sīc vestit: quantō magis vōs pusillae fideī?But if the grass, which today is in the field, and tomorrow is sent into the oven, God so clothes: how much more you, of little faith? Lc 12:29Et vōs nōlīte quaerere quid mandūcētis, aut quid bibātis: et nōlīte in sublīme tollī: haec enim omnia gentēs mundī quaerunt.And you, do not seek what you are to eat, or what you are to drink: and do not be lifted up on high: for all these things the nations of the world seek. Lc 12:30Pater autem vester scit quoniam hīs indigētis.But your Father knows that you need these things. Lc 12:31Vērumtamen quaerite prīmum regnum Deī, et jūstitiam ejus: et haec omnia adjicientur vōbīs.But yet seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice: and all these things will be added to you. Lc 12:32Nōlīte timēre pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patrī vestrō dare vōbīs regnum.Do not fear, little flock, because it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom. Lc 12:33Vēndite quae possidētis, et date eleēmosynam.Sell the things which you possess, and give alms.
Lc 12:33Facite vōbīs sacculōs, quī nōn veterāscunt, thēsaurum nōn dēficientem in caelīs: quō fūr nōn appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit.Make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure not failing in the heavens: where a thief does not come near, nor a moth corrupts. Lc 12:34Ubi enim thēsaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.For where your treasure is, there your heart too will be. Lc 12:35Sint lumbī vestrī praecīnctī, et lucernae ārdentēs in manibus vestrīs, et vōs similēs hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quandō revertātur ā nūptiīs: ut, cum vēnerit et pulsāverit, cōnfestim aperiant eī.Let your loins be girded, and lamps burning in your hands, and you like people awaiting their lord, when he returns from the wedding: so that, when he has come and knocked, they may at once open to him. Lc 12:37Beātī servī illī quōs, cum vēnerit dominus, invēnerit vigilantēs: āmēn dīcō vōbīs, quod praecinget sē, et faciet illōs discumbere, et trānsiēns ministrābit illīs.Blessed are those servants whom, when the lord comes, he finds keeping watch: amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will make them recline, and passing by he will serve them.
Lc 12:38Et sī vēnerit in secundā vigiliā, et sī in tertiā vigiliā vēnerit, et ita invēnerit, beātī sunt servī illī.And if he comes in the second watch, and if he comes in the third watch, and finds them so, blessed are those servants. Lc 12:39Hoc autem scītōte, quoniam sī scīret paterfamiliās, quā hōrā fūr venīret, vigilāret utique, et nōn sineret perfodī domum suam.But know this, that if the father of the household knew at what hour the thief would come, he would surely keep watch, and would not allow his house to be dug through. Lc 12:40Et vōs estōte parātī: quia quā hōrā nōn putātis, Fīlius hominis veniet.And you, be ready: because at an hour you do not think, the Son of Man will come." Lc 12:41Ait autem eī Petrus: Domine, ad nōs dīcis hanc parabolam, an et ad omnēs?And Peter said to him: "Lord, do you say this parable to us, or also to all?" Lc 12:42Dīxit autem Dominus: Quis, putās, est fidēlis dispēnsātor, et prūdēns, quem cōnstituit dominus suprā familiam suam, ut det illīs in tempore trīticī mēnsūram?And the Lord said: "Who, do you think, is the faithful and prudent steward, whom the lord appoints over his household, to give them in season their measure of wheat?
Lc 12:43Beātus ille servus quem, cum vēnerit dominus, invēnerit ita facientem.Blessed is that servant whom, when the lord comes, he finds doing so. Lc 12:44Vērē dīcō vōbīs, quoniam suprā omnia quae possidet, cōnstituet illum.Truly I say to you, that over all the things which he possesses he will appoint him. Lc 12:45Quod sī dīxerit servus ille in corde suō: Moram facit dominus meus venīre: et coeperit percutere servōs, et ancillās, et ēdere, et bibere, et inēbriārī: veniet dominus servī illīus in diē quā nōn spērat, et hōrā quā nescit, et dīvidet eum, partemque ejus cum īnfidēlibus pōnet.But if that servant says in his heart: 'My lord is making a delay in coming': and begins to strike the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat, and drink, and be drunk: the lord of that servant will come on a day on which he does not expect, and at an hour which he does not know, and will cut him apart, and will put his portion with the unfaithful. Lc 12:47Ille autem servus quī cognōvit voluntātem dominī suī, et nōn praeparāvit, et nōn facit secundum voluntātem ejus, vāpulābit multīs: quī autem nōn cognōvit, et fēcit digna plagīs, vāpulābit paucīs.But that servant who knew the will of his lord, and did not prepare, and did not act according to his will, will be beaten with many blows: but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten with few.
Lc 12:48Omnī autem cui multum datum est, multum quaerētur ab eō: et cui commendāvērunt multum, plūs petent ab eō.But from everyone to whom much has been given, much will be sought: and from him to whom they have entrusted much, they will ask more. Lc 12:49Ignem vēnī mittere in terram, et quid volō nisi ut accendātur?Fire I have come to send onto the earth, and what do I wish but that it be kindled? Lc 12:50Baptismō autem habeō baptizārī: et quōmodo coarctor ūsque dum perficiātur?But with a baptism I have to be baptized: and how am I constrained until it is accomplished? Lc 12:51Putātis quia pācem vēnī dare in terram?Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? Lc 12:51Nōn, dīcō vōbīs, sed sēparātiōnem: erunt enim ex hōc quīnque in domō ūnā dīvīsī, trēs in duōs, et duo in trēs dīvidentur: pater in fīlium, et fīlius in patrem suum, māter in fīliam, et fīlia in mātrem, socrus in nurum suam, et nurus in socrum suam.No, I say to you, but division: for from this time there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three will be divided: father against son, and son against his father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
Lc 12:54Dīcēbat autem et ad turbās: Cum vīderitis nūbem orientem ab occāsū, statim dīcitis: Nimbus venit: et ita fit.And he was saying also to the crowds: "When you see a cloud rising from the west, at once you say: 'A rainstorm is coming': and so it happens. Lc 12:55Et cum austrum flantem, dīcitis: Quia aestus erit: et fit.And when you see the south wind blowing, you say: 'There will be heat': and it happens. Lc 12:56Hypocritae!Hypocrites! Lc 12:56Faciem caelī et terrae nōstis probāre: hoc autem tempus quōmodo nōn probātis?The face of the sky and of the earth you know how to test: but how do you not test this time? Lc 12:57Quid autem et ā vōbīs ipsīs nōn jūdicātis quod jūstum est?And why do you not, even of yourselves, judge what is just? Lc 12:58Cum autem vādis cum adversāriō tuō ad prīncipem, in viā dā operam līberārī ab illō, nē forte trahat tē ad jūdicem, et jūdex trādat tē exāctōrī, et exāctor mittat tē in carcerem.And when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, on the way give effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer send you into prison.
Lc 12:59Dīcō tibi, nōn exiēs inde, dōnec etiam novissimum minūtum reddās.I say to you, you will not go out from there until you pay back even the last mite."
