Luke 8
1 Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella praedicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei: et duodecim cum illo,
2 along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
et mulieres aliquae, quae erant curatae a spiritibus malignis, et infirmatibus: Maria, quae vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem daemonia exierant,
3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
et Ioanna uxor Chusae procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliae multae, quae ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.
4 Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum: et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres caeli comederunt illud.
6 Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
Et aliud cecidit supra petram: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.
7 Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortae spinae suffocaverunt illud.
8 Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Haec dicens clamabat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
9 But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
Interrogabant autem eum discipuli eius, quae esset haec parabola.
10 Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
Quibus ipse dixit: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis: ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.
11 This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
Est autem haec parabola: Semen est verbum Dei.
12 The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt: deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.
13 The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
Nam qui supra petram: qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum: et hi radices non habent: quia ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.
14 The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
Quod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt, qui audierunt, et a solicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitae euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum.
15 The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt, qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.
16 You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit: sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.
17 For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur: nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.
18 So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
Videte ergo quomodo audiatis? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo.
19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
Venerunt autem ad illum mater, et fratres eius, et non poterant adire eum prae turba.
20 Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
Et nunciatum est illi: Mater tua, et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre.
21 “My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
Qui respondens, dixit ad eos: Mater mea, et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt, et faciunt.
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
Factum est autem in una dierum: et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli eius, et ait ad illos: Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt.
23 As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et compellebantur, et periclitabantur.
24 They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: Praeceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquae, et cessavit: et facta est tranquillitas.
25 “Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
Dixit autem illis: Ubi est fides vestra? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes: Quis putas hic est, quia ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei?
26 They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quae est contra Galilaeam.
27 When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
Et cum de navi 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.
28 When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
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.
29 For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
Praecipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. et ruptis vinculis agebatur a daemonio in deserta.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
Interrogavit autem illum Iesus, dicens: Quod tibi nomen est? At ille dixit: Legio: quia intraverant daemonia multa in eum.
Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte: et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.
33 so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
Exierunt ergo daemonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos: et impetu abiit grex per praeceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.
34 When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nunciaverunt in civitatem, et in villas.
35 The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
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.
36 Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Nunciaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione:
37 Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis: quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.
38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
Et rogabat illum vir, a quo daemonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Iesus, dicens:
39 “Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, praedicans quanta illi fecisset Iesus.
40 A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
Factum est autem cum rediisset Iesus, excepit illum turba. erunt enim omnes expectantes eum.
41 One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Iairus, et ipse princeps synagogae erat: et cecidit ad pedes Iesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum eius,
42 because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et haec moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.
43 In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
Et mulier quaedam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quae in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari:
44 She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti eius: et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis eius.
45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
Et ait Iesus: Quis est, qui me tetigit? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant: Praeceptor, turbae te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis: Quis me tetigit?
46 “Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
Et dicit Iesus: Tetigit me aliquis. nam et ego novi virtutem de me exiisse.
47 When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes eius: et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo: et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.
48 Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
At ipse dixit ei: Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit: vade in pace.
49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogae, dicens ei: Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum.
50 But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
Iesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellae: Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit.
51 When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Iacobum, et Ioannem, et patrem, et matrem puellae.
52 All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit: Nolite flere, non est mortua puella, sed dormit.
53 They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
Ipse autem tenens manum eius clamavit, dicens: Puella, surge.
55 She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
Et reversus est spiritus eius, et surrexit continuo. Et iussit illi dari manducare.
56 Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
Et stupuerunt parentes eius, quibus praecepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.
