< Κατα Ματθαιον 9 >
1 και εμβας εις πλοιον διεπερασεν και ηλθεν εις την ιδιαν πολιν
And he entered the ship, and passed over and came to his own city.
2 και ιδου προσεφερον αυτω παραλυτικον επι κλινης βεβλημενον και ιδων ο ιησους την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν τω παραλυτικω θαρσει τεκνον αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου
And they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus saw their faith, and said to the paralytic: Take courage, my son; thy sins are forgiven thee.
3 και ιδου τινες των γραμματεων ειπον εν εαυτοις ουτος βλασφημει
And some of the Scribes said in their minds, This man blasphemeth.
4 και ιδων ο ιησους τας ενθυμησεις αυτων ειπεν ινα τι υμεις ενθυμεισθε πονηρα εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
But Jesus knew their thoughts: and he said to them, Why do ye think evil things in your heart?
5 τι γαρ εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφεωνται σου αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν εγειρε και περιπατει
For, which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?
6 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι της γης αφιεναι αμαρτιας τοτε λεγει τω παραλυτικω εγερθεις αρον σου την κλινην και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic: Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy home.
7 και εγερθεις απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου
And he arose and went to his home.
8 ιδοντες δε οι οχλοι εθαυμασαν και εδοξασαν τον θεον τον δοντα εξουσιαν τοιαυτην τοις ανθρωποις
And when the multitudes saw it, they were struck with awe; and they praised God, who had given authority like this to men.
9 και παραγων ο ιησους εκειθεν ειδεν ανθρωπον καθημενον επι το τελωνιον ματθαιον λεγομενον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω
And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the custom-house, whose name was Matthew. And he said to him, Follow me: and he arose and followed him.
10 και εγενετο αυτου ανακειμενου εν τη οικια και ιδου πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι ελθοντες συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου
And as they were reclining in a house, many publicans an sinners came and reclined with Jesus and his disciples.
11 και ιδοντες οι φαρισαιοι ειπον τοις μαθηταις αυτου διατι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει ο διδασκαλος υμων
And when the Pharisees saw it they said to his disciples, Why doth your Rabbi eat with publicans and sinners?
12 ο δε ιησους ακουσας ειπεν αυτοις ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλ οι κακως εχοντες
And as Jesus heard it, he said to them: They who are in health have no need of a physician, but they that are very sick.
13 πορευθεντες δε μαθετε τι εστιν ελεον θελω και ου θυσιαν ου γαρ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους εις μετανοιαν
Go and learn what that is: I require compassion, and not a sacrifice! For I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinful.
14 τοτε προσερχονται αυτω οι μαθηται ιωαννου λεγοντες διατι ημεις και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευομεν πολλα οι δε μαθηται σου ου νηστευουσιν
Then came to him the disciples of John, and said: Why do we and the Pharisees fast much and thy disciples fast not?
15 και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος πενθειν εφ οσον [ χρονον ] μετ αυτων εστιν ο νυμφιος ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος και τοτε νηστευσουσιν
Jesus said to them: Can the children of the nuptial chamber fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.
16 ουδεις δε επιβαλλει επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επι ιματιω παλαιω αιρει γαρ το πληρωμα αυτου απο του ιματιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
No one inserteth a piece of new cloth on an old garment; lest that which filleth up, tear from that garment, and the rent become greater.
17 ουδε βαλλουσιν οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μηγε ρηγνυνται οι ασκοι και ο οινος εκχειται και οι ασκοι απολουνται αλλα οινον νεον εις ασκους βαλλουσιν καινους και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνται
And they do not put new wine into old sacks; lest the sacks burst, and the wine run out, and the sacks perish. But they put new wine into new sacks and they are both preserved.
18 ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος αυτοις ιδου αρχων [ εις ] προσελθων προσεκυνει αυτω λεγων οτι η θυγατηρ μου αρτι ετελευτησεν αλλα ελθων επιθες την χειρα σου επ αυτην και ζησεται
And while he was thus discoursing with them a certain ruler came, drew near, worshipped him and said: My daughter is already dead, but come lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.
19 και εγερθεις ο ιησους ηκολουθησεν αυτω και οι μαθηται αυτου
And Jesus rose up, and his disciples; and they followed him.
20 και ιδου γυνη αιμορροουσα δωδεκα ετη προσελθουσα οπισθεν ηψατο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου
And behold, a woman whose blood had flowed fourteen years, came up behind him, and touched the extremity of his robe:
21 ελεγεν γαρ εν εαυτη εαν μονον αψωμαι του ιματιου αυτου σωθησομαι
for she had said in her mind, If I but touch his garment I shall be cured.
22 ο δε ιησους επιστραφεις και ιδων αυτην ειπεν θαρσει θυγατερ η πιστις σου σεσωκεν σε και εσωθη η γυνη απο της ωρας εκεινης
And Jesus turned himself, looked at her, and said to her: Take courage, my daughter; thy faith hath given thee life. And the woman was cured from that very hour.
23 και ελθων ο ιησους εις την οικιαν του αρχοντος και ιδων τους αυλητας και τον οχλον θορυβουμενον
And Jesus came to the house of the ruler: and he saw there pipers, and multitudes making outcry.
24 λεγει αυτοις αναχωρειτε ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον αλλα καθευδει και κατεγελων αυτου
And he said to them: Retire; for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they scoffed at him.
25 οτε δε εξεβληθη ο οχλος εισελθων εκρατησεν της χειρος αυτης και ηγερθη το κορασιον
And when he had ejected the throngs, he entered in, and took her by the hand, and the maid rose up.
26 και εξηλθεν η φημη αυτη εις ολην την γην εκεινην
And the fame of this thing spread in all that land.
27 και παραγοντι εκειθεν τω ιησου ηκολουθησαν αυτω δυο τυφλοι κραζοντες και λεγοντες ελεησον ημας υιε δαυιδ
And when Jesus had passed from there, two blind men followed after him, and said: Have mercy on us, Thou Son of David!
28 ελθοντι δε εις την οικιαν προσηλθον αυτω οι τυφλοι και λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους πιστευετε οτι δυναμαι τουτο ποιησαι λεγουσιν αυτω ναι κυριε
And when he had entered a house, those blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them: Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, our Lord.
29 τοτε ηψατο των οφθαλμων αυτων λεγων κατα την πιστιν υμων γενηθητω υμιν
Then he touched their eyes, and said: As ye have believed, so shall it be to you.
30 και ανεωχθησαν αυτων οι οφθαλμοι και ενεβριμησατο αυτοις ο ιησους λεγων ορατε μηδεις γινωσκετω
And forthwith their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them and said: See, that no man know of it.
31 οι δε εξελθοντες διεφημισαν αυτον εν ολη τη γη εκεινη
But they went out and spread the fame of it in all that land.
32 αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον
And as Jesus went out, they brought to him a dumb man in whom was a demon.
33 και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες οτι ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ
And when the demon had gone out, the dumb man conversed. And the multitudes admired, and said: Never was it so seen in Israel!
34 οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
But the Pharisees said: It is by the Prince of demons, he casteth out demons.
35 και περιηγεν ο ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν εν τω λαω
And Jesus traveled over all the cities and the villages: and he taught in their synagogues, and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom, and healed all diseases and all pains.
36 ιδων δε τους οχλους εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων οτι ησαν εκλελυμενοι και ερριμμενοι ως προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα
And when Jesus looked on the multitudes, he pitied them; because they were wearied and dispersed, like sheep that have no shepherd.
37 τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι
And he said to his disciples, The harvest is great, and the laborers few.
38 δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου
Entreat, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, that he would send laborers into his harvest.
