Lucam 5
1 Factum est autem, cum turbæ irruerunt in eum, ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genesareth.
Now it happened, as he stood by the lake Gennesareth, the multitude pressing upon him to hear the word of God;
2 Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatores autem descenderant, et lavabant retia.
that seeing two barks aground, near the shore, the fishermen having landed to wash their nets,
3 Ascendens autem in unam navim, quæ erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.
he went aboard one of them, which was Simon's; and desiring him to put off a little from the land, sat down, and taught the people out of the bark.
4 Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: Duc in altum, et laxate retia vestra in capturam.
When he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Launch out into deep water, 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.
Simon answered, Master, we have toiled all night, and have caught nothing; nevertheless, at your word, I will let down the net.
6 Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam, rumpebatur autem rete eorum.
Having done this, they inclosed such a multitude of fishes, that the net began to break.
7 Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi ut venirent, et adiuvarent eos. Et venerunt, et impleverunt ambas naviculas, ita ut pene mergerentur.
And they beckoned to their companions, in the other bark, to come and help them. And they came, and loaded both their barks, so that they were near sinking.
8 Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Iesu, dicens: Exi a me, quia homo peccator sum, Domine.
When Simon Peter saw this, he threw himself at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
9 Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnes, qui cum illo erant, in captura piscium, quam ceperant:
For the draught of fishes which they had taken had filled him and all his companions with terror,
10 Similiter autem Iacobum, et Ioannem, filios Zebedæi, qui erunt socii Simonis. Et ait ad Simonem Iesus: Noli timere: ex hoc iam homines eris capiens.
particularly James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not, henceforth you shall catch men.
11 Et subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus secuti sunt eum.
And having brought their barks to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
12 Et factum est, cum esset in una civitatum, et ecce vir plenus lepra, et videns Iesum, et procidens in faciem, rogavit eum, dicens: Domine, si vis, potes me mundare.
When he was in one of the neighboring cities, a man covered with leprosy, happened to see him, threw himself on his face, and besought him, saying, Master, if you will, you can cleanse me.
13 Et extendens manum, tetigit eum dicens: Volo: Mundare. Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.
Jesus stretching out his hand, and touching him, said, I will; be you cleansed. That instant his 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 commanded him to tell no person. But go, said he, show yourself to the priest, and present the offered appointed by Moses, for notifying the people that you are cleansed.
15 Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo: et conveniebant turbæ multæ ut audirent, et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.
Yet so much the more was Jesus everywhere talked of, that vast multitudes flocked to hear him, and to be cured by him of their maladies.
16 Ipse autem secedebat in desertum, et orabat.
And he withdrew into solitary places, and prayed.
17 Et factum est in una dierum, et ipse sedebat docens. Et erant Pharisæi sedentes, et legis doctores, qui venerunt ex omni castello Galilææ, et Iudææ, et Ierusalem: et virtus Domini erat ad sanandum eos.
One day, as he was teaching, and Pharisees, and doctors of law, who had come from Jerusalem, and from every town of Galilee and Judea, were sitting by, the power of the Lord was exerted in the sure of the sick.
18 Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus: et quærebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.
And, behold, some men carrying on a bed a man afflicted with a palsy, endeavored to bring him in, and place him before Jesus;
19 Et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent præ turba, ascenderunt supra tectum, et per tegulas summiserunt eum cum lecto in medium ante Iesum.
but finding it impracticable, by reason of the crowd, they got upon the roof, and let him down through the tiling, with the little bed, in the midst before him.
20 Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: Homo remittuntur tibi peccata tua.
Jesus perceiving their faith, said, 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?
On which the Scribes and the Pharisees reasoned thus, Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Can any one forgive sins except God?
22 Ut cognovit autem Iesus cogitationes eorum, respondens, dixit ad illos: Quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris?
Jesus knowing their thoughts, addressed himself to them, and said, What are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?
Which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise, 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 you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, Arise, said he to the palsied man, take up your bed, and return to your house.
25 Et confestim consurgens coram illis, tulit lectum, in quo iacebat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificans Deum.
That instant he rose in their presence, took up his bed, and returned home, glorifying God.
26 Et stupor apprehendit omnes, et magnificabant Deum. Et repleti sunt timore, dicentes: Quia vidimus mirabilia hodie.
Seeing this, they were all struck with amazement and reverence, and glorified God, saying, We have seen wonderful things to-day.
27 Et post hæc exiit, et vidit publicanum nomine Levi, sedentem ad Telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me.
After this, he went out, and observing a publican, named Levi, sitting at the toll-office, said to him, Follow me.
28 Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.
And he arose, left all, 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 entertainment in his own house, where there was a great company of publicans and others, at table with them.
30 Et murmurabant Pharisæi, et Scribæ eorum dicentes ad discipulos eius: Quare cum publicanis, et peccatoribus manducatis, et bibitis?
But the Scribes and the Pharisees of the place murmured, saying to his disciples, Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illos: Non egent qui sani sunt medico, sed qui male habent.
Jesus answering, said to them, It is not the healthy, but the sick, who need a physician.
32 Non veni vocare iustos, sed peccatores ad pœnitentiam.
I am come to call, not the righteous, but sinners, to reformation.
33 At illi dixerunt ad eum: Quare discipuli Ioannis ieiunant frequenter, et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et Pharisæorum: tui autem edunt, et bibunt?
Then they asked him, How is it that the disciples of John, and likewise those of the Pharisees, frequently fast and pray, but yours eat and drink?
34 Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere ieiunare?
He answered, Would you have the bridemen fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Venient autem dies: cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus, tunc ieiunabunt in illis diebus.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them: in those days they will fast.
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.
He added this similitude, No man mends an old mantle with new cloth; otherwise the new will rend the old; besides, the old and new will never suit each other.
37 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres, et ipsum effundetur, et utres peribunt.
No person puts new wine into old leather bottles; otherwise, the new wine will burst the bottles, and thus the wine will be spoiled, and the bottles rendered useless.
38 sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est, et utraque conservantur.
But if new wine be put into new bottles, both will be preserved.
39 Et nemo bibens vetus, statim vult novum, dicit enim: Vetus melius est.
Besides, a man, after drinking old wine, calls not immediately for new; for he says, The old is milder.
