Κατα Λουκαν 8
1 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ καθεξῆς, καὶ αὐτὸς διώδευεν κατὰ πόλιν καὶ κώμην, κηρύσσων καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενος τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ δώδεκα σὺν αὐτῷ,
It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
2 καὶ γυναῖκές τινες αἳ ἦσαν τεθεραπευμέναι ἀπὸ πνευμάτων πονηρῶν καὶ ἀσθενειῶν: Μαρία ἡ καλουμένη Μαγδαληνή, ἀφʼ ἧς δαιμόνια ἑπτὰ ἐξεληλύθει,
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 καὶ Ἰωάννα γυνὴ Χουζᾶ ἐπιτρόπου Ἡρῴδου, καὶ Σουσάννα, καὶ ἕτεραι πολλαί, αἵτινες διηκόνουν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐταῖς.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.
4 Συνιόντος δὲ ὄχλου πολλοῦ καὶ τῶν κατὰ πόλιν ἐπιπορευομένων πρὸς αὐτὸν, εἶπεν διὰ παραβολῆς:
When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
5 “Ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπεῖραι τὸν σπόρον αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν, ὃ μὲν ἔπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ κατεπατήθη καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατέφαγεν αὐτό.
"The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Καὶ ἕτερον κατέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν, καὶ φυὲν ἐξηράνθη διὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν ἰκμάδα.
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀκανθῶν, καὶ συμφυεῖσαι αἱ ἄκανθαι ἀπέπνιξαν αὐτό.
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
8 Καὶ ἕτερον ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀγαθήν, καὶ φυὲν ἐποίησεν καρπὸν ἑκατονταπλασίονα.” Ταῦτα λέγων, ἐφώνει, “Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω.”
Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
9 Ἐπηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, “Τίς αὕτη εἴη ἡ παραβολή;”
Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
10 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς, ἵνα ‘βλέποντες μὴ βλέπωσιν, καὶ ἀκούοντες μὴ συνιῶσιν’.
He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
11 Ἔστιν δὲ αὕτη ἡ παραβολή: ὁ σπόρος ἐστὶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Οἱ δὲ παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, εἶτα ἔρχεται ὁ διάβολος καὶ αἴρει τὸν λόγον ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ πιστεύσαντες σωθῶσιν.
Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Οἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας, οἳ ὅταν ἀκούσωσιν μετὰ χαρᾶς δέχονται τὸν λόγον, καὶ οὗτοι ῥίζαν οὐκ ἔχουσιν, οἳ πρὸς καιρὸν πιστεύουσιν, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ πειρασμοῦ ἀφίστανται.
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14 Τὸ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας πεσόν, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκούσαντες, καὶ ὑπὸ μεριμνῶν, καὶ πλούτου, καὶ ἡδονῶν τοῦ βίου, πορευόμενοι συμπνίγονται καὶ οὐ τελεσφοροῦσιν.
That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
15 Τὸ δὲ ἐν τῇ καλῇ γῇ, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἵτινες ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ, ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον κατέχουσιν, καὶ καρποφοροῦσιν ἐν ὑπομονῇ.
That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 Οὐδεὶς δὲ λύχνον ἅψας, καλύπτει αὐτὸν σκεύει ἢ ὑποκάτω κλίνης τίθησιν, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ λυχνίας τίθησιν, ἵνα οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι βλέπωσιν τὸ φῶς.
"No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17 Οὐ γάρ ἐστιν κρυπτὸν ὃ οὐ φανερὸν γενήσεται, οὐδὲ ἀπόκρυφον ὃ οὐ μὴ γνωσθῇ καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἔλθῃ.
For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
18 Βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε· ὃς ἂν γὰρ ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ, καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.”
So consider carefully how you listen. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
19 Παρεγένετο δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ μήτηρ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο συντυχεῖν αὐτῷ διὰ τὸν ὄχλον.
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 Ἀπηγγέλη δὲ αὐτῷ, “Ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου, ἑστήκασιν ἔξω ἰδεῖν θέλοντές σε.”
It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
21 Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Μήτηρ μου καὶ ἀδελφοί μου, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀκούοντες καὶ ποιοῦντες.”
But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
22 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν μιᾷ τῶν ἡμερῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐνέβη εἰς πλοῖον καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, “Διέλθωμεν εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς λίμνης”. Καὶ ἀνήχθησαν.
Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.
23 Πλεόντων δὲ αὐτῶν, ἀφύπνωσεν. Καὶ κατέβη λαῖλαψ ἀνέμου εἰς τὴν λίμνην, καὶ συνεπληροῦντο καὶ ἐκινδύνευον.
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24 Προσελθόντες δὲ, διήγειραν αὐτὸν λέγοντες, “Ἐπιστάτα, Ἐπιστάτα, ἀπολλύμεθα!” Ὁ δὲ διεγερθεὶς, ἐπετίμησεν τῷ ἀνέμῳ, καὶ τῷ κλύδωνι, τοῦ ὕδατος, καὶ ἐπαύσαντο καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη.
So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
25 Εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς, “Ποῦ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν;” Φοβηθέντες δὲ, ἐθαύμασαν λέγοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους, “Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν, ὅτι καὶ τοῖς ἀνέμοις ἐπιτάσσει καὶ τῷ ὕδατι;” καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;”
He said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were terrified and astonished, saying to one another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
26 Καὶ κατέπλευσαν εἰς τὴν χώραν τῶν Γερασηνῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶν ἀντιπέρα τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Ἐξελθόντι δὲ αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ὑπήντησεν ἀνήρ τις ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἔχων δαιμόνια, καὶ χρόνῳ ἱκανῷ οὐκ ἐνεδύσατο ἱμάτιον, καὶ ἐν οἰκίᾳ οὐκ ἔμενεν, ἀλλʼ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν.
And when he came out onto the land he was met by a certain man from the town who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Ἰδὼν δὲ τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀνακράξας προσέπεσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ εἶπεν, “Τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, ˚Ἰησοῦ, Υἱὲ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ τοῦ Ὑψίστου; Δέομαί σου, μή με βασανίσῃς!”
When he saw Jesus, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
29 Παρήγγειλεν γὰρ τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. Πολλοῖς γὰρ χρόνοις συνηρπάκει αὐτόν, καὶ ἐδεσμεύετο ἁλύσεσιν καὶ πέδαις, φυλασσόμενος, καὶ διαρρήσσων τὰ δεσμὰ, ἠλαύνετο ὑπὸ τοῦ δαιμονίου εἰς τὰς ἐρήμους.
For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 Ἐπηρώτησεν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τί σοι ὄνομά ἐστιν;” Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Λεγεών”, ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν δαιμόνια πολλὰ εἰς αὐτόν.
Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.
They pleaded with him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἀγέλη χοίρων ἱκανῶν βοσκομένη ἐν τῷ ὄρει, καὶ παρεκάλεσαν αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιτρέψῃ αὐτοῖς εἰς ἐκείνους εἰσελθεῖν. Καὶ ἐπέτρεψεν αὐτοῖς.
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
33 Ἐξελθόντα δὲ τὰ δαιμόνια ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, εἰσῆλθον εἰς τοὺς χοίρους, καὶ ὥρμησεν ἡ ἀγέλη κατὰ τοῦ κρημνοῦ εἰς τὴν λίμνην, καὶ ἀπεπνίγη.
The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
34 Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ βόσκοντες, τὸ γεγονὸς, ἔφυγον καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀγρούς.
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Ἐξῆλθον δὲ ἰδεῖν τὸ γεγονὸς, καὶ ἦλθαν πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, καὶ εὗραν καθήμενον τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀφʼ οὗ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐξῆλθεν, ἱματισμένον καὶ σωφρονοῦντα παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν.
Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Ἀπήγγειλαν δὲ αὐτοῖς οἱ ἰδόντες, πῶς ἐσώθη ὁ δαιμονισθείς.
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37 Καὶ ἠρώτησεν αὐτὸν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῆς περιχώρου τῶν Γερασηνῶν, ἀπελθεῖν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, ὅτι φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο. Αὐτὸς δὲ ἐμβὰς, εἰς πλοῖον, ὑπέστρεψεν.
All the people of the surrounding region of the Geresenes asked him to leave them, for they were very much afraid; and he entered into the boat and returned.
38 Ἐδεῖτο δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀφʼ οὗ ἐξεληλύθει τὰ δαιμόνια, εἶναι σὺν αὐτῷ. Ἀπέλυσεν δὲ αὐτὸν λέγων,
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Ὑπόστρεφε εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, καὶ διηγοῦ ὅσα σοι ἐποίησεν ὁ ˚Θεός.” Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καθʼ ὅλην τὴν πόλιν, κηρύσσων ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς.
"Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Ἐν δὲ τῷ ὑποστρέφειν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, ἀπεδέξατο αὐτὸν ὁ ὄχλος, ἦσαν γὰρ πάντες προσδοκῶντες αὐτόν.
When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἦλθεν ἀνὴρ ᾧ ὄνομα Ἰάειρος, καὶ οὗτος ἄρχων τῆς συναγωγῆς ὑπῆρχεν, καὶ πεσὼν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας ˚Ἰησοῦ, παρεκάλει αὐτὸν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ,
And look, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet, and pleaded with him to come into his house,
42 ὅτι θυγάτηρ μονογενὴς ἦν αὐτῷ, ὡς ἐτῶν δώδεκα, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέθνῃσκεν. Ἐν δὲ τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτὸν, οἱ ὄχλοι συνέπνιγον αὐτόν.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the crowds pressed against him.
43 Καὶ γυνὴ οὖσα ἐν ῥύσει αἵματος ἀπὸ ἐτῶν δώδεκα, ἥτις οὐκ ἴσχυσεν ἀπʼ οὐδενὸς θεραπευθῆναι,
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years (who had spent all her living on physicians) and could not be healed by any,
44 προσελθοῦσα ὄπισθεν, ἥψατο τοῦ κρασπέδου τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ παραχρῆμα ἔστη ἡ ῥύσις τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς.
came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, “Τίς ὁ ἁψάμενός μου;” Ἀρνουμένων δὲ πάντων, εἶπεν ὁ Πέτρος, “Ἐπιστάτα, οἱ ὄχλοι συνέχουσίν σε καὶ ἀποθλίβουσιν.”
Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."
46 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν, “Ἥψατό μού τις, ἐγὼ γὰρ ἔγνων δύναμιν ἐξεληλυθυῖαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.”
But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."
47 Ἰδοῦσα δὲ ἡ γυνὴ ὅτι οὐκ ἔλαθεν, τρέμουσα ἦλθεν καὶ προσπεσοῦσα αὐτῷ, διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν ἥψατο αὐτοῦ, ἀπήγγειλεν ἐνώπιον παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ὡς ἰάθη παραχρῆμα.
When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “Θύγατερ, ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέν σε· πορεύου εἰς εἰρήνην.”
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
49 Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος, ἔρχεταί τις παρὰ τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου λέγων, ὅτι “Τέθνηκεν ἡ θυγάτηρ σου, μηκέτι σκύλλε τὸν διδάσκαλον.”
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."
50 Ὁ δὲ ˚Ἰησοῦς ἀκούσας, ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ, “Μὴ φοβοῦ, μόνον πίστευε, καὶ σωθήσεται.”
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
51 Ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, οὐκ ἀφῆκεν εἰσελθεῖν τινα σὺν αὐτῷ, εἰ μὴ Πέτρον, καὶ Ἰωάννην, καὶ Ἰάκωβον, καὶ τὸν πατέρα τῆς παιδὸς, καὶ τὴν μητέρα.
When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 Ἔκλαιον δὲ πάντες καὶ ἐκόπτοντο αὐτήν. Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, “Μὴ κλαίετε, οὐ γὰρ ἀπέθανεν, ἀλλὰ καθεύδει.”
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."
53 Καὶ κατεγέλων αὐτοῦ, εἰδότες ὅτι ἀπέθανεν.
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Αὐτὸς δὲ κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, ἐφώνησεν λέγων, “Ἡ παῖς, ἔγειρε!”
But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Child, arise."
55 Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀνέστη παραχρῆμα, καὶ διέταξεν αὐτῇ δοθῆναι φαγεῖν.
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 Καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτῆς· ὁ δὲ παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς μηδενὶ εἰπεῖν τὸ γεγονός.
Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
