|
| 18 1 | HE SPOKE TO THEM in a parable to show that they should keep on praying and never lose heart: | The Parable of the Widow and the Judge Lk.18.1-8 (borders of Samaria) | Ἔλεγεν δὲ παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς πρὸς τὸ δεῖν πάντοτε προσεύχεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ μὴ ἐγκακεῖν, |
|
| 2 | 'There was once a judge who cared nothing for God or man, | | λέγων, Κριτής τις ἦν ἐν τινι πόλει τὸν θεὸν μὴ φοβούμενος καὶ ἄνθρωπον μὴ ἐντρεπόμενος. |
|
| 3 | and in the same town there was a widow who constantly came before him demanding justice against her opponent. | | χήρα δὲ ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἠρχετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγουσα, Ἐκδίκησόν με ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀντιδίκου μου. |
|
| 4 | For a long time he refused; but in the end he said to himself, "True, I care nothing for God or man; | | καὶ οὐκ ἠθελεν ἐπὶ χρόνον, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ, Εἰ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐ φοβοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐντρέπομαι, |
|
| 5 | but this widow is so great a nuisance that I will see her righted before she wears me out with her persistence." ' | | διά γε τὸ παρέχειν μοι κόπον τὴν χήραν ταύτην ἐκδικήσω αὐτήν, ἵνα μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐρχομένη ὑπωπιάζῃ με. |
|
| 6 | The Lord said, 'You hear what the unjust judge says; | | Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ κύριος, Ἀκούσατε τί ὁ κριτὴς τῆς ἀδικίας λέγει· |
|
| 7 | and will not God vindicate his chosen, who cry out to him day and night, while he listens patiently to them? Or: delays to help them. | | ὁ δὲ θεὸς οὐ μὴ ποιήσῃ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν βοώντων αὐτῷ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός, καὶ μακροθυμεῖ ἐπ' αὐτοῖς; |
|
| 8 | I tell you, he will vindicate them soon enough. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?'
| | λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ποιήσει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αὐτῶν ἐν τάχει. πλὴν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐλθὼν ἆρα εὑρήσει τὴν πίστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς; |
