Lucam 8
1 et factum est deinceps et ipse iter faciebat per civitatem et castellum praedicans et evangelizans regnum Dei et duodecim cum illo
Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
2 et mulieres aliquae quae erant curatae ab spiritibus malignis et infirmitatibus Maria quae vocatur Magdalene de qua daemonia septem exierant
Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
3 et Iohanna uxor Chuza procuratoris Herodis et Susanna et aliae multae quae ministrabant eis de facultatibus suis
Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
4 cum autem turba plurima conveniret et de civitatibus properarent ad eum dixit per similitudinem
A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
5 exiit qui seminat seminare semen suum et dum seminat aliud cecidit secus viam et conculcatum est et volucres caeli comederunt illud
“A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
6 et aliud cecidit supra petram et natum aruit quia non habebat humorem
Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
7 et aliud cecidit inter spinas et simul exortae spinae suffocaverunt illud
Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
8 et aliud cecidit in terram bonam et ortum fecit fructum centuplum haec dicens clamabat qui habet aures audiendi audiat
But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
9 interrogabant autem eum discipuli eius quae esset haec parabola
Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
10 quibus ipse dixit vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei ceteris autem in parabolis ut videntes non videant et audientes non intellegant
He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
11 est autem haec parabola semen est verbum Dei
So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
12 qui autem secus viam sunt qui audiunt deinde venit diabolus et tollit verbum de corde eorum ne credentes salvi fiant
[Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
13 nam qui supra petram qui cum audierint cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum et hii radices non habent qui ad tempus credunt et in tempore temptationis recedunt
[Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
14 quod autem in spinis cecidit hii sunt qui audierunt et a sollicitudinibus et divitiis et voluptatibus vitae euntes suffocantur et non referunt fructum
[Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
15 quod autem in bonam terram hii sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent et fructum adferunt in patientia
But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
16 nemo autem lucernam accendens operit eam vaso aut subtus lectum ponit sed supra candelabrum ponit ut intrantes videant lumen
“After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
17 non enim est occultum quod non manifestetur nec absconditum quod non cognoscatur et in palam veniat
[God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
18 videte ergo quomodo auditis qui enim habet dabitur illi et quicumque non habet etiam quod putat se habere auferetur ab illo
So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
19 venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres eius et non poterant adire ad eum prae turba
[One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
20 et nuntiatum est illi mater tua et fratres tui stant foris volentes te videre
Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 qui respondens dixit ad eos mater mea et fratres mei hii sunt qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt
He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
22 factum est autem in una dierum et ipse ascendit in naviculam et discipuli eius et ait ad illos transfretemus trans stagnum et ascenderunt
One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
23 navigantibus autem illis obdormiit et descendit procella venti in stagnum et conplebantur et periclitabantur
As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
24 accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum dicentes praeceptor perimus at ille surgens increpavit ventum et tempestatem aquae et cessavit et facta est tranquillitas
Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
25 dixit autem illis ubi est fides vestra qui timentes mirati sunt dicentes ad invicem quis putas hic est quia et ventis imperat et mari et oboediunt ei
He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
26 enavigaverunt autem ad regionem Gerasenorum quae est contra Galilaeam
Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
27 et cum egressus esset ad terram occurrit illi vir quidam qui habebat daemonium iam temporibus multis et vestimento non induebatur neque in domo manebat sed in monumentis
[There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
28 is ut vidit Iesum procidit ante illum et exclamans voce magna dixit quid mihi et tibi est Iesu Fili Dei altissimi obsecro te ne me torqueas
Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
29 praecipiebat enim spiritui inmundo ut exiret ab homine multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum et vinciebatur catenis et conpedibus custoditus et ruptis vinculis agebatur a daemonio in deserta
30 interrogavit autem illum Iesus dicens quod tibi nomen est at ille dixit Legio quia intraverunt daemonia multa in eum
[In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
[The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
32 erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte et rogabant eum ut permitteret eos in illos ingredi et permisit illos
There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
33 exierunt ergo daemonia ab homine et intraverunt in porcos et impetu abiit grex per praeceps in stagnum et suffocatus est
The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
34 quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant fugerunt et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas
When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
35 exierunt autem videre quod factum est et venerunt ad Iesum et invenerunt hominem sedentem a quo daemonia exierant vestitum ac sana mente ad pedes eius et timuerunt
So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
36 nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant quomodo sanus factus esset a Legione
The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
37 et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis quia timore magno tenebantur ipse autem ascendens navem reversus est
Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
38 et rogabat illum vir a quo daemonia exierant ut cum eo esset dimisit autem eum Iesus dicens
The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
39 redi domum tuam et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus et abiit per universam civitatem praedicans quanta illi fecisset Iesus
“[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 factum est autem cum redisset Iesus excepit illum turba erant enim omnes expectantes eum
When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
41 et ecce venit vir cui nomen Iairus et ipse princeps synagogae erat et cecidit ad pedes Iesu rogans eum ut intraret in domum eius
Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
42 quia filia unica erat illi fere annorum duodecim et haec moriebatur et contigit dum iret a turbis conprimebatur
my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
43 et mulier quaedam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim quae in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam nec ab ullo potuit curari
Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
44 accessit retro et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti eius et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis eius
She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
45 et ait Iesus quis est qui me tetigit negantibus autem omnibus dixit Petrus et qui cum illo erant praeceptor turbae te conprimunt et adfligunt et dicis quis me tetigit
Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
46 et dixit Iesus tetigit me aliquis nam ego novi virtutem de me exisse
But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
47 videns autem mulier quia non latuit tremens venit et procidit ante pedes illius et ob quam causam tetigerit eum indicavit coram omni populo et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit
When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
48 at ipse dixit illi filia fides tua te salvam fecit vade in pace
[Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
49 adhuc illo loquente venit a principe synagogae dicens ei quia mortua est filia tua noli vexare illum
While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
50 Iesus autem audito hoc verbo respondit patri puellae noli timere crede tantum et salva erit
But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
51 et cum venisset domum non permisit intrare secum quemquam nisi Petrum et Iohannem et Iacobum et patrem et matrem puellae
When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
52 flebant autem omnes et plangebant illam at ille dixit nolite flere non est mortua sed dormit
All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
53 et deridebant eum scientes quia mortua esset
The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
54 ipse autem tenens manum eius clamavit dicens puella surge
But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
55 et reversus est spiritus eius et surrexit continuo et iussit illi dari manducare
At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
56 et stupuerunt parentes eius quibus praecepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat
Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
