Luca 22
1 OR la festa degli azzimi, detta la pasqua, si avvicinava.
It was now almost time to celebrate the festival of Unleavened Bread, which [began with] the Passover festival.
2 E i principali sacerdoti, e gli Scribi, cercavano come lo farebbero morire, perciocchè temevano il popolo.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were seeking a way to kill Jesus. [But they wanted to do it secretly], because they were afraid that if [they did not do] it secretly, the people [might riot].
3 Or Satana entrò in Giuda, detto per soprannome Iscariot, il quale era del numero de' dodici.
Then [even though] Judas, who was called [the man from] Kerioth [village], was one of the twelve [disciples], Satan entered him.
4 Ed egli andò, e ragionò co' principali sacerdoti, e co' capitani, come egli lo metterebbe loro nelle mani.
Judas went and conferred with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guards. He discussed with them how he could enable them to seize [Jesus].
5 Ed essi se ne rallegrarono, e patteggiarono con lui di dargli danari.
They were pleased [that he wanted to do that]. They offered to give him money [for doing it].
6 Ed egli promise di darglielo nelle mani; e cercava opportunità di farlo senza tumulto.
So he agreed, [and they gave him the money]. Then he tried to find an opportunity to enable them to seize [Jesus] when there was no crowd around him.
7 OR venne il giorno degli azzimi, nel qual conveniva sacrificar la pasqua.
Then the day during the [first part of the week-long festival] of Unleavened Bread came, [the day] when [the] lambs [for the] Passover [celebration] had to be killed.
8 E [Gesù] mandò Pietro e Giovanni, dicendo: Andate, apparecchiateci la pasqua, acciocchè [la] mangiamo.
So Jesus said to Peter and John, “Go and prepare the meal for the Passover [celebration].”
9 Ed essi gli dissero: Ove vuoi che [l]'apparecchiamo?
They replied to him, “Where do you [(sg)] want us to prepare it?”
10 Ed egli disse loro: Ecco, quando sarete entrati nella città, voi scontrerete un uomo, portando un testo [pien] d'acqua; seguitatelo nella casa ov'egli entrerà.
He said to the [two of] them, “Listen carefully. When you [two] enter the city, a man who is carrying a [large] jar of water will meet you. Follow him. [When] he enters [a house],
11 E dite al padron della casa: Il Maestro ti manda a dire: Ov'è la stanza, nella quale io mangerò la pasqua co' miei discepoli?
tell the owner of the house, ‘[Our] teacher says [that we(exc) should] ask [you(sg) to please] show [us] the room that [he arranged with you] where he can eat the Passover [meal] with [us], his disciples [RHQ].’
12 Ed esso vi mostrerà una gran sala acconcia; quivi apparecchiate [la pasqua].
He will show you a large room that is on the upper [floor of the house]. It will be all set up [for a meal]. Prepare the meal for us there.”
13 Essi dunque, andati, trovaron come egli avea lor detto, ed apparecchiaron la pasqua.
So [the two disciples] went [into the city]. They found everything to be just like [Jesus] had told them. So they prepared [the meal for] the Passover [celebration there].
14 E quando l'ora fu venuta, egli si mise a tavola, co' dodici apostoli.
When it was time [MTY] [to eat the Passover meal], Jesus [came and] sat down with the [twelve] apostles.
15 Ed egli disse loro: Io ho grandemente desiderato di mangiar questa pasqua con voi, innanzi che io soffra.
He said to them, “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover [meal] with you before I suffer [and die].
16 Perciocchè io vi dico che non ne mangerò più, finchè [tutto] sia compiuto nel regno di Dio.
I want you to know that I will not eat [the Passover meal] again until all those whose lives God rules completely realize [what it represents].”
17 Ed avendo preso il calice, rendè grazie, e disse: Prendete questo [calice], e distribuite[lo] tra voi;
Then he took a cup [of wine] and thanked [God for it]. Then he said, “Take this, and each of you drink some of it.
18 perciocchè, io vi dico che non berrò più del frutto della vigna, finchè il regno di Dio sia venuto.
I want you to know that [from now on] I will not drink wine until God makes me king.”
19 Poi, avendo preso il pane, rendè grazie, e [lo] ruppe, e lo diede loro, dicendo: Quest'è il mio corpo, il quale è dato per voi; fate questo in rammemorazione di me.
Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke it [into pieces] and gave it to them [to eat]. He said, “This [bread represents] my body, which [I] am about to sacrifice for you. Keep on [eating bread] this way [regularly] to remember what I [have done for you].”
20 Parimente ancora, dopo aver cenato, [diede loro] il calice, dicendo: Questo calice [è] il nuovo patto nel mio sangue, il quale è sparso per voi.
Similarly, after [they had eaten] the meal, he took [another] cup [of wine]. He said, “[The wine in] [MTY] this cup [represents] my blood, which will soon flow [from my body when I die]. [With] this blood [I will sign] the new agreement [that God is making with] you.
21 Nel rimanente, ecco, la mano di colui che mi tradisce [è] meco a tavola.
But [note that] the one [SYN] who will enable my enemies to seize me is eating right here with me!
22 E il Figliuol dell'uomo certo se ne va, secondo ch'è determinato; ma, guai a quell'uomo per cui egli è tradito!
[It is certain that I], the one who came from heaven, will die, because that is what [God] has planned. But there will be terrible punishment for the man who will (betray me/enable my enemies to seize me)!”
23 Ed essi cominciarono a domandarsi gli uni gli altri, chi fosse pur quel di loro che farebbe ciò.
Then they began to ask one another, “Which of us would do such a thing?”
24 OR nacque ancora fra loro una contesa, chi di loro paresse che fosse il maggiore.
[The apostles] began to argue among themselves, saying, “Which one of us [will be] the greatest [when Jesus becomes king]?”
25 Ma egli disse loro: I re delle genti le signoreggiano, e coloro che hanno podestà sopra esse son chiamati benefattori.
So Jesus said to them, “The kings of the non-Jews [enjoy] showing that they are powerful. [Yet] they give [themselves] the title, ‘ones who help the people.’
26 Ma non già così voi; anzi, il maggiore fra voi sia come il minore, e quel che regge come quel che ministra.
But you should not be like them! Instead, those who [want God to consider them] the greatest should [act as though they] were the youngest, [since the youngest are expected to serve the older ones]. Whoever is a leader should be one who serves [the others].
27 Perciocchè, quale è il maggiore, colui ch'è a tavola, o pur colui che serve? non [è] egli colui ch'è a tavola? or io sono in mezzo di voi come colui che serve.
Keep in mind who is the most important one [RHQ]. It is certainly the one who [just sits] at the table, not [RHQ] those who serve [the meal]. But I, [your leader], have been [an example for you] by serving you [while I have been] among you.
28 Or voi siete quelli che siete perseverati meco nelle mie tentazioni.
You are the ones who have stayed with me during all my troubles.
29 Ed io altresì vi dispongo il regno, siccome il Padre mio me l'ha disposto;
So now, just like my Father has appointed me to rule as a king, I am appointing you
30 acciocchè voi mangiate, e beviate, alla mia tavola, nel mio regno; e sediate sopra de' troni, giudicando le dodici tribù d'Israele.
so that you can sit and eat [and rule] [MET] with me when I become king. You will sit on thrones to judge the people of the twelve tribes of Israel.”
31 IL Signore disse ancora: Simone, Simone, ecco, Satana ha richiesto di vagliarvi, come [si vaglia] il grano.
“Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has asked [God to let him test you, and God has permitted him to do it. Satan wants to cause you to suffer distress] (OR, [distress you]) [so that you will not believe/trust in me any more/longer. He wants to shake you, just like a man shakes wheat in a sieve to sift it] [MET].
32 Ma io ho pregato per te, acciocchè la tua fede non venga meno; e tu, quando un giorno sarai convertito, conferma i tuoi fratelli.
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that you will not completely stop believing in me. So when you [(sg)] restore your relationship with me, help your fellow apostles [to trust in me more]!”
33 Ma egli disse: Signore, io son presto ad andar teco, e in prigione, ed alla morte.
Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you [(sg)] if they put you in prison, or even to die with you!”
34 Ma Gesù disse: Pietro, io ti dico che il gallo non canterà oggi, prima che tu non abbi negato tre volte di conoscermi.
Jesus replied, “Peter, I want you [(sg)] to know that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will say three times that you do not know me!”
35 POI disse loro: Quando io vi ho mandati senza borsa, e [senza] tasca, e [senza] scarpe, avete voi avuto mancamento di cosa alcuna? Ed essi dissero: Di niuna.
Then [Jesus] asked all of them, “After I sent you out [to other villages, and you went] without taking any money or a [traveling] bag or [extra] sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They replied, “[That’s right], [we(exc) did] not [lack] anything.”
36 Disse loro adunque: Ma ora, chi ha una borsa tolgala; parimente ancora una tasca; e chi non ne ha venda la sua vesta, e comperi una spada.
Then, [to show them that now many people would oppose them], (OR, [to show them that they needed to be prepared to protect themselves], ) he said to them, “Now [things will be different. So] whoever among you has some money should take it with him. Likewise, he should take a carrying bag. Whoever does not have a sword should sell his coat and buy a sword.
37 Perciocchè, io vi dico che conviene che eziandio questo ch'è scritto sia adempiuto in me: Ed egli è stato annoverato fra i malfattori. Perciocchè le cose, che [sono scritte] di me, hanno [il lor] compimento.
Because, I now tell you, [something must happen to me to fulfill these words that a prophet] wrote: ‘He was treated {They treated him} as [though he were] a criminal.’ Do not forget that everything that is {that they have} written about me [in the Scriptures] must be fulfilled.”
38 Ed essi dissero: Signore, ecco qui due spade. Ed egli disse loro: Basta.
[One of] the disciples said, “Lord, look! We [(exc)] have two swords!” [Realizing that they did not understand the meaning of what he said], he replied to them, “That is enough [talk about swords]”!
39 POI, essendo uscito, andò, secondo la [sua] usanza, al monte degli Ulivi; e i suoi discepoli lo seguitavano anch'essi.
As [Jesus] left [the city], he went, as he usually did, to Olive [Tree] Hill. His disciples went with him.
40 E giunto al luogo, disse loro: Orate, che non entriate in tentazione.
When he came to the place [where he often spent the night], he said to them, “Pray that [God will help you] whenever something tempts you.”
41 Allora egli fu divelto da loro, quasi per una gettata di pietra;
Then he went from them a distance of about 30 meters/yards. (OR, as far as someone can throw a stone.) He knelt and prayed,
42 e postosi in ginocchioni, orava, dicendo: Padre, oh! volessi tu trasportar da me questo calice! ma pure, non la mia volontà, me la tua sia fatta.
“[My] Father, if you are willing [to do it], force me [to have to undergo] these terrible things that [are about to happen to me] [MTY]. But do not do what I want. Instead, do what you want.”
43 Ed un angelo gli apparve dal cielo confortandolo.
Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.
44 Ed egli, essendo in agonia, orava vie più intentamente; e il suo sudore divenne simile a grumoli di sangue, che cadevano in terra.
He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.
45 Poi, levatosi dall'orazione, venne ai suoi discepoli, e trovò che dormivano di tristizia.
When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.
46 E disse loro: Perchè dormite? levatevi, ed orate, che non entriate in tentazione.
He [woke them and] said to them, “(I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?) [RHQ] Get up! Pray that [God will help you] whenever you are tempted {when something [like this] tempts you}!”
47 ORA, mentre egli parlava ancora, ecco una turba; e colui che si chiamava Giuda, uno de' dodici, andava davanti a loro, e si accostò a Gesù per baciarlo; perciocchè egli avea loro dato questo segno: Colui chi io bacerò è desso.
While [Jesus] was still speaking, a crowd [came to him]. Judas, [even though he was] one of the twelve [disciples], was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him [on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus].
48 E Gesù gli disse: Giuda, tradisci tu il Figliuol dell'uomo con un bacio?
Jesus said to him, “Judas, (I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me [as though you loved me] that you are enabling [my enemies] to seize [me], the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ]”
49 E coloro [ch'erano] della compagnia di Gesù, veggendo che cosa era per avvenire, dissero: Signore, percoteremo noi con la spada?
When the [disciples] who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we [(exc)] strike [them] with our swords?”
50 Ed un certo di loro percosse il servitore del sommo sacerdote, e gli spiccò l'orecchio destro.
One of his [drew his sword and] struck the servant of the high priest [to kill him, but only] cut off his right ear.
51 Ma Gesù fece [lor] motto, e disse: Lasciate, basta! E, toccato l'orecchio di colui, lo guarì.
But Jesus said, “Do not [do] any more of that!” He touched the [servant’s] ear and healed him.
52 E Gesù disse a' principali sacerdoti, ed a' capi del tempio, ed agli anziani, che eran venuti contro a lui: Voi siete usciti contro a me con ispade, e con aste, come contro ad un ladrone.
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the Temple guards, and the [Jewish] elders who had come to [seize] him, “(It is ridiculous that you have come [here] with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as [if I were] a bandit!/Why have you come here with swords and clubs to capture [MTY] me, as if I were a bandit?) [RHQ] Day after day [I was with you] in the Temple [courtyard], [and] you did not seize me! But this is the time [MTY] when [God is allowing] you [to do what you want]. It is also the time [MTY] when God is allowing [Satan, who rules] [MTY] [in] the darkness, [to do what he wants].”
53 Mentre io era con voi tuttodì nel tempio, voi non metteste mai le mani sopra me; ma quest'è l'ora vostra, e la podestà delle tenebre.
54 ED essi lo presero, e lo menarono, e lo condussero dentro alla casa del sommo sacerdote; e Pietro [lo] seguitava da lungi.
They seized [Jesus] and led him away. They brought him to the high priest’s house. Peter followed [them] at a distance.
55 Ed avendo essi acceso del fuoco in mezzo della corte, ed essendosi posti a sedere insieme, Pietro si sedette nel mezzo di loro.
They kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together. Peter sat among them.
56 Or una certa fanticella, vedutolo seder presso del fuoco, e guardatolo fiso, disse: Anche costui era con lui.
As the light [from the fire] shone [on his face, a] female servant saw him and looked intently at him. She said, “This man was also with [the man whom they have arrested]!”
57 Ma egli lo rinnegò, dicendo: Donna, io nol conosco.
But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him!”
58 E, poco appresso, un altro, vedutolo, gli disse: Anche tu sei di quelli. Ma Pietro disse: O uomo, non sono.
A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You [(sg)] also are one of those who [were with] the man [they arrested]!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not [one of them]!”
59 E, infraposto lo spazio quasi d'un'ora, un certo altro affermava [lo stesso], dicendo: In verità, anche costui era con lui; perciocchè egli è Galileo.
About an hour later someone else said emphatically [about Peter], “[The way] that this man [speaks shows that he] is from Galilee [district]. Certainly this man was also with the man whom [they arrested, who is from Galilee]!”
60 Ma Pietro disse: O uomo, io non so quel che tu dici. E subito, parlando egli ancora, il gallo cantò.
But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you [(sg)] are talking about!” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
61 E il Signore, rivoltosi, riguardò Pietro. E Pietro si rammentò la parola del Signore, come egli gli avea detto: Avanti che il gallo canti, tu mi rinnegherai tre volte.
The Lord [Jesus] turned around and looked right at Peter. Then Peter remembered what the Lord had said to him, “This night, before the rooster crows, you [(sg)] will deny three times [that you know] me.”
62 E Pietro se ne uscì, e pianse amaramente.
And Peter went out [of the courtyard] and cried very sorrowfully.
63 E COLORO che tenevano Gesù lo schernivano, percotendo[lo].
The men who were guarding Jesus made fun of him and beat him.
64 E velatigli [gli occhi], lo percotevano in su la faccia; e lo domandavano, dicendo: Indovina chi è colui che ti ha percosso.
They put a blindfold on him and [beat him again. Then] they said to him, “[Because you(sg) say] [IRO] that you are a prophet, [prove it by] telling us who it was that struck you!”
65 Molte altre cose ancora dicevano contro a lui, bestemmiando.
They said many other evil things about him, insulting him.
66 Poi, come fu giorno, gli anziani del popolo, i principali sacerdoti, e gli Scribi, si raunarono, e lo menarono nel lor concistoro.
At dawn [the next morning], many of the [Jewish] leaders gathered together. The group included the chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They took Jesus to the Jewish Council. There the men of the Council said to him,
67 E gli dissero: Sei tu il Cristo? diccelo. Ed egli disse loro: Benchè io vel dica, voi nol crederete.
“If you [(sg)] are the Messiah, tell us!” But he replied, “If I tell you that, you will not believe me.
68 E se altresì io [vi] fo qualche domanda, voi non mi risponderete, e non [mi] lascerete andare.
If I ask you [what you think about the Messiah], you will not answer me.
69 Da ora innanzi il Figliuol dell'uomo sederà alla destra della potenza di Dio.
But some day you will see [me], the one who came from heaven, sitting next to almighty God and ruling [MTY]!”
70 E tutti dissero: Sei tu adunque il Figliuol di Dio? Ed egli disse loro: Voi [lo] dite, perciocchè io [lo] sono.
Then they all said, “If that is so, are [you(sg) saying that] you are (the Son of God/the Man who is also God)?” He said to them, “[Yes], it is just like you say [MTY].”
71 Ed essi dissero: Che abbiam più bisogno di testimonianza? poichè noi stessi [l]'abbiamo udito dalla sua propria bocca.
Then they said [to each other], “(We [(inc)] certainly do not need anyone else to testify [against him]!/Why should we ask for any more people to testify [against him]?) [RHQ]” We ourselves have heard him say [MTY] [that he is equal with God]!
