Lucam 5
1 Factum est autem, cum turbæ irruerunt in eum, ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genesareth.
Now it happened, while the people were crowding around Jesus and listening to the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatores autem descenderant, et lavabant retia.
He saw two boats pulled up by the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3 Ascendens autem in unam navim, quæ erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.
Jesus got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put it out in the water a short distance from the land. Then he sat down and taught the people out of the boat.
4 Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: Duc in altum, et laxate retia vestra in capturam.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Take the boat out into the deeper water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Et respondens Simon, dixit illi: Præceptor, per totam noctem laborantes, nihil cepimus: in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete.
Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked all night, and caught nothing, but at your word, I will let down the nets.”
6 Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam, rumpebatur autem rete eorum.
When they had done this, they gathered a very large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
7 Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi ut venirent, et adiuvarent eos. Et venerunt, et impleverunt ambas naviculas, ita ut pene mergerentur.
So they motioned to their partners in the other boat that they should come and help them. They came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Iesu, dicens: Exi a me, quia homo peccator sum, Domine.
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9 Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnes, qui cum illo erant, in captura piscium, quam ceperant:
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken.
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.
This included James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid, because from now on you will catch men.”
11 Et subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus secuti sunt eum.
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything 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.
It came about that while he was in one of the cities, a man full of leprosy was there. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
13 Et extendens manum, tetigit eum dicens: Volo: Mundare. Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.
Then Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean.” Immediately the leprosy left 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.
He instructed him to tell no one, but told him, “Go on your way, and show yourself to the priest and offer a sacrifice for your cleansing, according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
15 Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo: et conveniebant turbæ multæ ut audirent, et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.
But the report about him spread even farther, and large crowds of people came together to hear him teach and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16 Ipse autem secedebat in desertum, et orabat.
But he often withdrew into the deserted 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.
It came about on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there who had come from many different villages in the regions of Galilee and Judea, and also from the town of Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus: et quærebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.
Now some men came, carrying on a mat a man that was paralyzed, and they looked for a way to bring him inside in order to lay him down in front of 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.
They could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, so they went up to the housetop and let the man down through the tiles, on his mat, into the midst of the people, right in front of Jesus.
20 Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: Homo remittuntur tibi peccata tua.
Seeing their faith, Jesus 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?
The scribes and the Pharisees began to question this, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22 Ut cognovit autem Iesus cogitationes eorum, respondens, dixit ad illos: Quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris?
But Jesus, perceiving what they were thinking, answered and said to them, “Why are you questioning this 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 'Get up 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 authority on earth to forgive sins,”—he said to the paralysed man—”I tell you, get up, pick up your mat and go to your house.”
25 Et confestim consurgens coram illis, tulit lectum, in quo iacebat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificans Deum.
Immediately he got up in front of them and picked up the mat on which he was lying. Then he went away to his house, glorifying God.
26 Et stupor apprehendit omnes, et magnificabant Deum. Et repleti sunt timore, dicentes: Quia vidimus mirabilia hodie.
Everyone was amazed and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”
27 Et post hæc exiit, et vidit publicanum nomine Levi, sedentem ad Telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me.
After these things happened, Jesus went out from there and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax collector's tent. He said to him, “Follow me.”
28 Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.
So Levi got up and followed him, leaving everything behind.
29 et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua: et erat turba multa publicanorum, et aliorum, qui cum illis erant discumbentes.
Then Levi gave a big banquet in his house for Jesus. There were many tax collectors there and other people who were reclining at the table and eating with them.
30 Et murmurabant Pharisæi, et Scribæ eorum dicentes ad discipulos eius: Quare cum publicanis, et peccatoribus manducatis, et bibitis?
But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and other sinful people?”
31 Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illos: Non egent qui sani sunt medico, sed qui male habent.
Jesus answered them, “People who are well do not need a physician; only those who are sick.
32 Non veni vocare iustos, sed peccatores ad pœnitentiam.
I did not come to call righteous people to repentance, but to call sinners to repentance.”
33 At illi dixerunt ad eum: Quare discipuli Ioannis ieiunant frequenter, et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et Pharisæorum: tui autem edunt, et bibunt?
They said to him, “The disciples of John often fast and pray, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink.”
34 Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere ieiunare?
Jesus said to them, “Can anyone make the wedding attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is still 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 will be taken away from them, then 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.
Then Jesus also spoke a parable to them. “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to mend an old garment. If he did that, he would tear the new garment, and the piece of cloth from the new garment would not fit with the cloth of the old garment.
37 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres, et ipsum effundetur, et utres peribunt.
No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does that, the new wine would burst the skins, and the wine would be spilled, and the wineskins would be destroyed.
38 sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est, et utraque conservantur.
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 Et nemo bibens vetus, statim vult novum, dicit enim: Vetus melius est.
No one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, 'The old is better.'”
