< Lucam 7 >
1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.
And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
4 At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes:
And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him:
5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
6 Jesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum jam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centurio amicos, dicens: Domine, noli vexari: non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres:
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:
7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8 Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites: et dico huic, Vade, et vadit: et alii, Veni, et venit: et servo meo, Fac hoc, et facit.
For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9 Quo audito Jesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.
And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
11 Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.
And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
12 Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.
And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about.
18 Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.
And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
21 (In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight.
22 Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis: quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
And he answered and said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me.
24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
25 Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
26 Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Dico enim vobis: major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.
I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.
And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
31 Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus? et cui similes sunt?
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; which say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
33 Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
And wisdom is justified of all her children.
36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
And behold, a woman which was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,
38 et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.
and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Videns autem pharisæus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens: Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier, quæ tangit eum: quia peccatrix est.
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is which touched him, that she is a sinner.
40 Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
When they had not [wherewith] to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
43 Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte judicasti.
Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Propter quod dico tibi: remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.
48 Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
