Luke 5
1 Once, when the people were pressing around Jesus as they listened to God’s message, he happened to be standing by the shore of the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats close to the shore.
Factum est autem, cum turbæ irruerunt in eum ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genesareth.
2 The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing the nets.
Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatores autem descenderant, et lavabant retia.
3 So, getting into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, Jesus asked him to push off a little way from the shore, and then sat down and taught the people from the boat.
Ascendens autem in unam navim, quæ erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.
4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Push off into deep water, and throw out your nets for a haul.”
Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: Duc in altum, et laxate retia vestra in capturam.
5 “We have been hard at work all night, Sir,” answered Simon, “and have not caught anything, but, at your bidding, I will throw out the nets.”
Et respondens Simon, dixit illi: Præceptor, per totam noctem laborantes nihil cepimus: in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete.
6 They did so, and enclosed such a great shoal of fish that their nets began to break.
Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam: rumpebatur autem rete eorum.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats so full of fish that they were almost sinking.
Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi, ut venirent, et adjuvarent eos. Et venerunt, et impleverunt ambas naviculas, ita ut pene mergerentur.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he threw himself down at Jesus’ knees, exclaiming, “Master, leave me, for I am a sinful man!”
Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Jesu, dicens: Exi a me, quia homo peccator sum, Domine.
9 For he and all who were with him were lost in amazement at the haul of fish which they had made;
Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnes qui cum illo erant, in captura piscium, quam ceperant:
10 and so, too, were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon, “from today you will catch people.”
similiter autem Jacobum et Joannem, filios Zebedæi, qui erant socii Simonis. Et ait ad Simonem Jesus: Noli timere: ex hoc jam homines eris capiens.
11 And, when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything, and followed him.
Et subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus, secuti sunt eum.
12 On one occasion Jesus was staying in a town, when he saw a man who was covered with leprosy. When the leper saw Jesus, he threw himself on his face and implored his help, “Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
Et factum est, cum esset in una civitatum, et ecce vir plenus lepra, et videns Jesum, et procidens in faciem, rogavit eum, dicens: Domine, si vis, potes me mundare.
13 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, “I am willing; become clean.” Instantly the leprosy left the man;
Et extendens manum, tetigit eum dicens: Volo: mundare. Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.
14 and then Jesus impressed on him that he was not to say a word to anyone, “but,” he added, “set out and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing, in the manner directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.”
Et ipse præcepit illi ut nemini diceret: sed, Vade, ostende te sacerdoti, et offer pro emundatione tua, sicut præcepit Moyses, in testimonium illis.
15 However, the story about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came together to listen to him, and to be cured of their illnesses;
Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo: et conveniebant turbæ multæ ut audirent, et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.
16 but Jesus used to withdraw to lonely places and pray.
Ipse autem secedebat in desertum, et orabat.
17 On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was on Jesus, so that he could work cures.)
Et factum est in una dierum, et ipse sedebat docens. Et erant pharisæi sedentes, et legis doctores, qui venerant ex omni castello Galilææ, et Judææ, et Jerusalem: et virtus Domini erat ad sanandum eos.
18 And there some men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed. They tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus;
Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus: et quærebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.
19 but, finding no way of getting him in owing to the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him through the tiles, with his pallet, into the middle of the people and in front of Jesus.
Et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent præ turba, ascenderunt supra tectum, et per tegulas summiserunt eum cum lecto in medium ante Jesum.
20 When he saw their faith, Jesus said, “Friend, your sins have been forgiven you.”
Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: Homo, remittuntur tibi peccata tua.
21 The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began debating about this. “Who is this man who speaks so blasphemously?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins except God?”
Et cœperunt cogitare scribæ et pharisæi, dicentes: Quis est hic, qui loquitur blasphemias? quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus?
22 When Jesus became aware of the way in which they were debating, he turned to them and exclaimed, “What are you debating with yourselves?
Ut cognovit autem Jesus cogitationes eorum, respondens, dixit ad illos: Quid cogitatis in cordibus vestris?
23 Which is the easier? – to say ‘Your sins have been forgiven you’? Or to say ‘Get up, and walk’?
Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?
24 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” – he spoke to the paralyzed man – “To you I say, Get up, and take up your pallet, and go to your home.”
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.
25 Instantly the man stood up before their eyes, took up what he had been lying on, and went to his home, praising God.
Et confestim consurgens coram illis, tulit lectum in quo jacebat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificans Deum.
26 The people, one and all, were lost in amazement, and praised God; and in great awe they said, “We have seen marvelous things today!”
Et stupor apprehendit omnes, et magnificabant Deum. Et repleti sunt timore, dicentes: Quia vidimus mirabilia hodie.
27 After this, Jesus went out; and he noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me.”
Et post hæc exiit, et vidit publicanum nomine Levi, sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me.
28 Levi left everything and got up and followed him.
Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.
29 And Levi gave a great banquet at his house, in honor of Jesus; and a large number of tax collectors and others were having dinner with them.
Et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua: et erat turba multa publicanorum, et aliorum qui cum illis erant discumbentes.
30 The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law belonging to their party complained of this to the disciples of Jesus.
Et murmurabant pharisæi et scribæ eorum, dicentes ad discipulos ejus: Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducatis et bibitis?
31 In answer Jesus said, “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illos: Non egent qui sani sunt medico, sed qui male habent.
32 I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent.”
Non veni vocare justos, sed peccatores ad pœnitentiam.
33 “John’s disciples,” they said to Jesus, “Often fast and say prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, while yours are eating and drinking!”
At illi dixerunt ad eum: Quare discipuli Joannis jejunant frequenter, et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et pharisæorum: tui autem edunt et bibunt?
34 But Jesus answered them, “Can you make the groom’s friends fast while the groom is with them?
Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere jejunare?
35 But the days will come – a time when the groom will be taken away from them; and they will fast then, when those days come.”
Venient autem dies, cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus: tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.
36 Then, as an illustration, Jesus said to them, “No one ever tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old one; for, if they do, they will not only tear the new garment, but the piece from the new one will not match the old.
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.
37 And no one puts new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine itself will run out, and the skins be lost.
Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres, et ipsum effundetur, et utres peribunt:
38 But new wine must be put into fresh skins.
sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est, et utraque conservantur.
39 No one after drinking old wine wishes for new. ‘No,’ they say, ‘the old is excellent.’”
Et nemo bibens vetus, statim vult novum: dicit enim: Vetus melius est.
