128:1
LUC. XVIII, 1-8. Dicebat autem et parabolam adillos, quoniam oportet semper orare, et non deficere, dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non revercbatur. Vidua autem quædam erat in illa civitate, et veniebat ad illum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo. Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post hæc autcm dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timco, ncc hominem rerereor, tamen quia molesta est mihi hæc vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens, suggillet me. Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid judex iniquitatis dicit: Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientium habebit in illis?
耶穌又對他們講一個比喻，是要人常常禱告，不可灰心，說：「某城裡有一個官，不懼怕神，也不尊重世人。那城裡有一個寡婦，常到他那裡，說：『我有一個對頭，求你給我伸冤。』他多日不准。後來他心裡說：『我雖不懼怕神，也不尊重世人，只因這寡婦煩擾我，我就給她伸冤吧，免得她終久來纏磨我。』」主說：「你們聽這不義之官所說的話。神的選民晝夜呼籲他，難道他不給他們伸冤，反倒對他們忍着不管嗎？」
He also spoke a parable to them, that they ought always to pray and not to faint, saying: 'There was a certain judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man. And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: "Avenge me of my adversary." And for a long time he would not. But afterward he said within himself: "Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest at the last she come and assault me."' And the Lord said: 'Hear what the unjust judge says. And shall not God do justice for his elect, who cry to him day and night, and will he have patience with regard to them?'
128:2
Dico vobis, quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas inveniet fidem in terra?
我告訴你們，他必快快地給他們伸冤了。然而，人子來的時候，你想得到在地上的信心嗎？
I say to you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, do you think he will find faith on the earth?
