Luke 7
1 And when he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.
Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
3 But when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying: He is worthy for whom thou shouldst do this;
At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes:
5 for he loves our nation, and of his own accord has built us a synagogue.
diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, and said to him: Lord, give thyself no trouble; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof.
Jesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum jam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centurio amicos, dicens: Domine, noli vexari: non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres:
7 For which reason, neither did I count myself worthy to go to thee; but command in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
8 For I am a man placed under authority, and have soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites: et dico huic, Vade, et vadit: et alii, Veni, et venit: et servo meo, Fac hoc, et facit.
9 And when Jesus heard these things, he was filled with admiration for him; and, turning to the multitude that followed, he said: I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
Quo audito Jesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.
10 And they that had been sent, returned to the house, and found the servant that had been sick restored to health.
Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
11 And it came to pass, the next day, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples and a great multitude followed him.
Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.
12 And when he came near the gate of tho city, behold, they were carrying out a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.
Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
14 And he went and touched the bier; and those who were carrying it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to you, Arise.
Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
15 And he that had been dead, sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
16 And fear seized on all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet has arisen among us; and, God has visited his people.
Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.
17 And this report concerning him went abroad into all Judea and all the neighboring region.
Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
18 And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.
19 And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
20 And the men came to him and said: John the Immerser has sent us to thee, and says, Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
21 And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and bestowed sight on many that were blind.
(In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
22 And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you have seen and heard; that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them;
Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis: quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
23 and blessed is he who shall find no cause of offense in me.
et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear splendid apparel, and live in luxury, are in kings houses.
Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
28 For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Dico enim vobis: major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.
29 And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John;
Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.
30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.
Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
31 To what, then, shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus? et cui similes sunt?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, who call to one another, and say, We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs for you, and you have not lamented.
Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
33 For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon.
Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
34 The Son of man has come, eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.
35 Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.
Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
36 And one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and reclined at table.
Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.
37 And, behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that he reclined at table in the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
38 and stood behind at his feet, weeping; and she began to wash his feet with her tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.
et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.
39 But when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he said within himself: This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner.
Videns autem pharisæus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens: Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier, quæ tangit eum: quia peccatrix est.
40 And Jesus answered and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to you. He replied: Teacher, say on.
Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
41 A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed him five hundred denarii, the other, fifty.
Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
42 But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more?
Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
43 Simon answered and said: I suppose he to whom he forgave the more. He said to him: You have decided correctly.
Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte judicasti.
44 And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.
45 You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
47 Wherefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little.
Propter quod dico tibi: remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
48 And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven.
Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
49 And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins?
Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?
50 But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
