Lucam 9
1 Convocatis autem Iesus duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem, et potestatem super omnia daemonia, et ut languores curarent.
[One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
2 Et misit illos praedicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos.
[Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
3 Et ait ad illos: Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis.
he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
4 Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis.
Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
5 Et quicumque non receperint vos: exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos.
[In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
6 Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.
Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
7 Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia, quae fiebant ab eo, et haesitabat eo quod diceretur
Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
8 a quibusdam: Quia Ioannes surrexit a mortuis: a quibusdam vero: Quia Elias apparuit: ab aliis autem: Quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit.
Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
9 Et ait Herodes: Ioannem ego decollavi: Quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio? Et quaerebat videre eum.
But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
10 Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi quaecumque fecerunt: et assumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaidae.
When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Quod cum cognovissent turbae, secutae sunt illum: et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat.
But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
12 Dies autem coeperat declinare. Et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi: Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella, villasque quae circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas: quia hic in loco deserto sumus.
Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
13 Ait autem ad illos: Vos date illis manducare. At illi dixerunt: Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes, et duo pisces: nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas.
But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
14 Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos: Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos.
There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
15 Et ita fecerunt. Et discubuerunt omnes.
After they told the people that, they all sat down.
16 Acceptis autem quinque panibus, et duobus piscibus, respexit in caelum, et benedixit illis: et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas.
Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
17 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim.
All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
18 Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli: et interrogavit illos, dicens: Quem me dicunt esse turbae?
[One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
19 At illi responderunt, et dixerunt: Ioannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero quia unus Propheta de prioribus surrexit.
They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
20 Dixit autem illis: Vos autem quem me esse dicitis? Respondens Simon Petrus dixit: Christum Dei.
He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
21 At ille increpans illos, praecepit ne cui dicerent hoc,
Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
22 dicens: Quia oportet filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et Scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.
Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
23 Dicebat autem ad omnes: Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me.
Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
24 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam: nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam.
You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
25 quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat?
People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
26 Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones: hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in maiestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum.
Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
27 Dico autem vobis vere: sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei.
But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
28 Factum est autem post haec verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret.
About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
29 Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus eius altera: et vestitus eius albus et refulgens.
As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
30 Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses, et Elias,
Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
31 visi in maiestate: et dicebant excessum eius, quem completurus erat in Ierusalem.
32 Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt maiestatem eius, et duos viros, qui stabant cum illo.
Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
33 Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Iesum: Praeceptor, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum Tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eliae: nesciens quid diceret.
As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
34 Haec autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos: et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem.
As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
35 Et vox facta est de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite.
[God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
36 Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Iesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his, quae viderant.
After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
37 Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa.
The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
38 Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens: Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi:
Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
39 et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum:
At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut eiicerent illum, et non potuerunt.
I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
41 Respondens autem Iesus, dixit: O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos? Adduc huc filium tuum.
Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
42 Et cum accederet, elisit illum daemonium, et dissipavit.
While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
43 Et increpavit Iesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri eius.
All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei: omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus, quae faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos: Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos: Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum.
“Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
45 At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud: et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo.
But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
46 Intravit autem cogitatio in eos, quis eorum maior esset.
The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
47 At Iesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se,
But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
48 et ait illis: Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum, qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic maior est.
He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
49 Respondens autem Ioannes dixit: Praeceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo eiicientem daemonia, et prohibuimus eum: quia non sequitur nos.
John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
50 Et ait ad illum Iesus: Nolite prohibere: qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.
But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
51 Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis eius, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Ierusalem.
When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
52 Et misit nuncios ante conspectum suum: et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi.
He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
53 Et non receperunt eum, quia facies eius erat euntis in Ierusalem.
But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
54 Cum vidissent autem discipuli eius Iacobus, et Ioannes, dixerunt: Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de caelo, et consumat illos?
When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
55 Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens: Nescitis cuius spiritus estis.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
56 Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare. Et abierunt in aliud castellum.
So they went to a different village.
57 Factum est autem: ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum: Sequar te quocumque ieris.
As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
58 Dixit illi Iesus: Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres caeli nidos: Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput suum reclinet.
[In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
59 Ait autem ad alterum: Sequere me. ille autem dixit: Domine permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum.
Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
60 Dixitque ei Iesus: Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos: tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei.
But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
61 Et ait alter: Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renunciare his, quae domi sunt.
Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
62 Ait ad illum Iesus: Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei.
Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
