The man who laid up treasure

Saint Luke - Chapter 12

The man who laid up treasure. J-J Tissot

[16] Dixit autem similitudinem ad illos, dicens : Hominis cujusdam divitis uberes fructus ager attulit :
And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.

[17] et cogitabat intra se dicens : Quid faciam, quia non habeo quo congregam fructus meos?
And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

[18] Et dixit : Hoc faciam : destruam horrea mea, et majora faciam : et illuc congregabo omnia quae nata sunt mihi, et bona mea,
And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.

[19] et dicam animae meae : Anima, habes multa bona posita in annos plurimos : requiesce, comede, bibe, epulare.
And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.

[20] Dixit autem illi Deus : Stulte, hac nocte animam tuam repetunt a te : quae autem parasti, cujus erunt?
But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?

[21] Sic est qui sibi thesaurizat, et non est in Deum dives.
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
