< Lucam 5 >

1 Factum est autem, cum turbæ irruerunt in eum ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genesareth.
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word (logos) of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatores autem descenderant, et lavabant retia.
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Ascendens autem in unam navim, quæ erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.
And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: Duc in altum, et laxate retia vestra in capturam.
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Et respondens Simon, dixit illi: Præceptor, per totam noctem laborantes nihil cepimus: in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete.
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at your word (rhema) I will let down the net.
6 Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam: rumpebatur autem rete eorum.
And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi, ut venirent, et adjuvarent eos. Et venerunt, et impleverunt ambas naviculas, ita ut pene mergerentur.
And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Jesu, dicens: Exi a me, quia homo peccator sum, Domine.
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnes qui cum illo erant, in captura piscium, quam ceperant:
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 similiter autem Jacobum et Joannem, filios Zebedæi, qui erant socii Simonis. Et ait ad Simonem Jesus: Noli timere: ex hoc jam homines eris capiens.
And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth you shall catch men.
11 Et subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus, secuti sunt eum.
And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 Et factum est, cum esset in una civitatum, et ecce vir plenus lepra, et videns Jesum, et procidens in faciem, rogavit eum, dicens: Domine, si vis, potes me mundare.
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.
13 Et extendens manum, tetigit eum dicens: Volo: mundare. Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.
And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be you clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14 Et ipse præcepit illi ut nemini diceret: sed, Vade, ostende te sacerdoti, et offer pro emundatione tua, sicut præcepit Moyses, in testimonium illis.
And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
15 Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo: et conveniebant turbæ multæ ut audirent, et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.
But so much the more went there a fame (logos) abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16 Ipse autem secedebat in desertum, et orabat.
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 Et factum est in una dierum, et ipse sedebat docens. Et erant pharisæi sedentes, et legis doctores, qui venerant ex omni castello Galilææ, et Judææ, et Jerusalem: et virtus Domini erat ad sanandum eos.
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus: et quærebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.
And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
19 Et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent præ turba, ascenderunt supra tectum, et per tegulas summiserunt eum cum lecto in medium ante Jesum.
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
20 Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: Homo, remittuntur tibi peccata tua.
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, your sins are forgiven you.
21 Et cœperunt cogitare scribæ et pharisæi, dicentes: Quis est hic, qui loquitur blasphemias? quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus?
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
22 Ut cognovit autem Jesus cogitationes eorum, respondens, dixit ad illos: Quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris?
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason all of you in your hearts?
23 Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?
Whether is easier, to say, Your sins be forgiven you; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, (ait paralytico) tibi dico, surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.
But that all of you may know that the Son of man has power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy, ) I say unto you, Arise, and take up your couch, and go into your house.
25 Et confestim consurgens coram illis, tulit lectum in quo jacebat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificans Deum.
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
26 Et stupor apprehendit omnes, et magnificabant Deum. Et repleti sunt timore, dicentes: Quia vidimus mirabilia hodie.
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
27 Et post hæc exiit, et vidit publicanum nomine Levi, sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me.
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
28 Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.
And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
29 Et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua: et erat turba multa publicanorum, et aliorum qui cum illis erant discumbentes.
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
30 Et murmurabant pharisæi et scribæ eorum, dicentes ad discipulos ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducatis et bibitis?
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do all of you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illos: Non egent qui sani sunt medico, sed qui male habent.
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 Non veni vocare justos, sed peccatores ad pœnitentiam.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
33 At illi dixerunt ad eum: Quare discipuli Joannis jejunant frequenter, et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et pharisæorum: tui autem edunt et bibunt?
And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but your eat and drink?
34 Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere jejunare?
And he said unto them, Can all of you make the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Venient autem dies, cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus: tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
36 Dicebat autem et similitudinem ad illos: Quia nemo commissuram a novo vestimento immittit in vestimentum vetus: alioquin et novum rumpit, et veteri non convenit commissura a novo.
And he spoke also a parable unto them; No man puts a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new makes a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agrees not with the old.
37 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres, et ipsum effundetur, et utres peribunt:
And no man puts new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est, et utraque conservantur.
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
39 Et nemo bibens vetus, statim vult novum: dicit enim: Vetus melius est.
No man also having drunk old wine immediately desires new: for he says, The old is better.
