Κατα Λουκαν 5
1 εγενετο δε εν τω τον οχλον επικεισθαι αυτω του ακουειν τον λογον του θεου και αυτοσ ην εστωσ παρα την λιμνην γεννησαρετ
On one occasion the crowd was pressing on Him and listening to God's Message, while He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
2 και ειδεν δυο πλοια εστωτα παρα την λιμνην οι δε αλιεισ αποβαντεσ απ αυτων απεπλυναν τα δικτυα
He, however, saw two fishing-boats drawn up on the beach (for the men had gone away from them and were washing the nets),
3 εμβασ δε εισ εν των πλοιων ο ην του σιμωνοσ ηρωτησεν αυτον απο τησ γησ επαναγαγειν ολιγον και καθισασ εδιδασκεν εκ του πλοιου τουσ οχλουσ
and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.
4 ωσ δε επαυσατο λαλων ειπεν προσ τον σιμωνα επαναγαγε εισ το βαθοσ και χαλασατε τα δικτυα υμων εισ αγραν
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
5 και αποκριθεισ ο σιμων ειπεν αυτω επιστατα δι ολησ τησ νυκτοσ κοπιασαντεσ ουδεν ελαβομεν επι δε τω ρηματι σου χαλασω το δικτυον
"Rabbi," replied Peter, "all night long we have worked hard and caught nothing; but at your command I will let down the nets."
6 και τουτο ποιησαντεσ συνεκλεισαν πληθοσ ιχθυων πολυ διερρηγνυτο δε το δικτυον αυτων
This they did, and enclosed a vast number of fish; and their nets began to break.
7 και κατενευσαν τοισ μετοχοισ τοισ εν τω ετερω πλοιω του ελθοντασ συλλαβεσθαι αυτοισ και ηλθον και επλησαν αμφοτερα τα πλοια ωστε βυθιζεσθαι αυτα
So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came, and they filled both the boats so that they almost sank.
8 ιδων δε σιμων πετροσ προσεπεσεν τοισ γονασιν ιησου λεγων εξελθε απ εμου οτι ανηρ αμαρτωλοσ ειμι κυριε
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and exclaimed, "Master, leave my boat, for I am a sinful man."
9 θαμβοσ γαρ περιεσχεν αυτον και παντασ τουσ συν αυτω επι τη αγρα των ιχθυων η συνελαβον
(For he was astonished and terrified--he and all his companions--at the haul of fish which they had taken;
10 ομοιωσ δε και ιακωβον και ιωαννην υιουσ ζεβεδαιου οι ησαν κοινωνοι τω σιμωνι και ειπεν προσ τον σιμωνα ο ιησουσ μη φοβου απο του νυν ανθρωπουσ εση ζωγρων
and so were Simon's partners James and John, the sons of Zabdi.) But Jesus replied to Simon, "Fear not: from this time you shall be a catcher of men."
11 και καταγαγοντεσ τα πλοια επι την γην αφεντεσ απαντα ηκολουθησαν αυτω
Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.
12 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν μια των πολεων και ιδου ανηρ πληρησ λεπρασ και ιδων τον ιησουν πεσων επι προσωπον εδεηθη αυτου λεγων κυριε εαν θελησ δυνασαι με καθαρισαι
On another occasion, when He was in one of the towns, there was a man there covered with leprosy, who, seeing Jesus, threw himself at His feet and implored Him, saying, "Sir, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean."
13 και εκτεινασ την χειρα ηψατο αυτου ειπων θελω καθαρισθητι και ευθεωσ η λεπρα απηλθεν απ αυτου
Reaching out His hand and touching him, Jesus said, "I am willing; be cleansed!" And instantly the leprosy left him.
14 και αυτοσ παρηγγειλεν αυτω μηδενι ειπειν αλλα απελθων δειξον σεαυτον τω ιερει και προσενεγκε περι του καθαρισμου σου καθωσ προσεταξεν μωσησ εισ μαρτυριον αυτοισ
He ordered him to tell no one. "But go," He said, "show yourself to the Priest, and make the offering for your purification which Moses appointed, as evidence for them."
15 διηρχετο δε μαλλον ο λογοσ περι αυτου και συνηρχοντο οχλοι πολλοι ακουειν και θεραπευεσθαι υπ αυτου απο των ασθενειων αυτων
But all the more the report about Him spread abroad, and great multitudes crowded to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
16 αυτοσ δε ην υποχωρων εν ταισ ερημοισ και προσευχομενοσ
but Jesus Himself constantly withdrew into the Desert and there prayed.
17 και εγενετο εν μια των ημερων και αυτοσ ην διδασκων και ησαν καθημενοι φαρισαιοι και νομοδιδασκαλοι οι ησαν εληλυθοτεσ εκ πασησ κωμησ τησ γαλιλαιασ και ιουδαιασ και ιερουσαλημ και δυναμισ κυριου ην εισ το ιασθαι αυτουσ
One day He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting there who had come from every village in Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present for Him to cure people.
18 και ιδου ανδρεσ φεροντεσ επι κλινησ ανθρωπον οσ ην παραλελυμενοσ και εζητουν αυτον εισενεγκειν και θειναι ενωπιον αυτου
And a party of men came carrying a palsied man on a bed, and they endeavoured to bring him in and lay him before Jesus.
19 και μη ευροντεσ ποιασ εισενεγκωσιν αυτον δια τον οχλον αναβαντεσ επι το δωμα δια των κεραμων καθηκαν αυτον συν τω κλινιδιω εισ το μεσον εμπροσθεν του ιησου
But when they could find no way of doing so because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiling--bed and all--into the midst, in front of Jesus.
20 και ιδων την πιστιν αυτων ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου
He saw their faith and said to him, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."
21 και ηρξαντο διαλογιζεσθαι οι γραμματεισ και οι φαρισαιοι λεγοντεσ τισ εστιν ουτοσ οσ λαλει βλασφημιασ τισ δυναται αφιεναι αμαρτιασ ει μη μονοσ ο θεοσ
Then the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil, asking, "Who is this, uttering blasphemies? Who but God alone can forgive sins?"
22 επιγνουσ δε ο ιησουσ τουσ διαλογισμουσ αυτων αποκριθεισ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ τι διαλογιζεσθε εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων
Well aware of their reasonings, Jesus answered their questions by asking in turn, "What is this that you are debating in your hearts?
23 τι εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν αφεωνται σοι αι αμαρτιαι σου η ειπειν εγειραι και περιπατει
Which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?
24 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιοσ του ανθρωπου επι τησ γησ αφιεναι αμαρτιασ ειπεν τω παραλελυμενω σοι λεγω εγειραι και αρασ το κλινιδιον σου πορευου εισ τον οικον σου
But to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" --Turning to the paralytic He said, "I bid you, Rise, take up your bed, and go home."
25 και παραχρημα αναστασ ενωπιον αυτων αρασ εφ ο κατεκειτο απηλθεν εισ τον οικον αυτου δοξαζων τον θεον
Instantly he stood up in their presence, took up the mattress on which he had been lying, and went away to his home, giving glory to God.
26 και εκστασισ ελαβεν απαντασ και εδοξαζον τον θεον και επλησθησαν φοβου λεγοντεσ οτι ειδομεν παραδοξα σημερον
Amazement seized them all. "Glory to God!" was the abiding feeling. Yet fear flashed through their minds and they said, "We have seen strange things to-day."
27 και μετα ταυτα εξηλθεν και εθεασατο τελωνην ονοματι λευιν καθημενον επι το τελωνιον και ειπεν αυτω ακολουθει μοι
After this He went out and noticed a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the Toll office; and He said to him, "Follow me."
28 και καταλιπων απαντα αναστασ ηκολουθησεν αυτω
He rose, left everything, and followed Him.
29 και εποιησεν δοχην μεγαλην λευισ αυτω εν τη οικια αυτου και ην οχλοσ τελωνων πολυσ και αλλων οι ησαν μετ αυτων κατακειμενοι
Levi also gave a great entertainment at his house in honour of Jesus, and there was a large party of tax-gatherers and others at table with them.
30 και εγογγυζον οι γραμματεισ αυτων και οι φαρισαιοι προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου λεγοντεσ δια τι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιετε και πινετε
This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, "Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
31 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι υγιαινοντεσ ιατρου αλλ οι κακωσ εχοντεσ
But Jesus replied to them, "It is not men in good health who require a physician, but the sick.
32 ουκ εληλυθα καλεσαι δικαιουσ αλλα αμαρτωλουσ εισ μετανοιαν
I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners."
33 οι δε ειπον προσ αυτον δια τι οι μαθηται ιωαννου νηστευουσιν πυκνα και δεησεισ ποιουνται ομοιωσ και οι των φαρισαιων οι δε σοι εσθιουσιν και πινουσιν
Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."
34 ο δε ειπεν προσ αυτουσ μη δυνασθε τουσ υιουσ του νυμφωνοσ εν ω ο νυμφιοσ μετ αυτων εστιν ποιησαι νηστευειν
"Can you compel the bridal party to fast," replied Jesus, "so long as they have the bridegroom among them?
35 ελευσονται δε ημεραι και οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιοσ τοτε νηστευσουσιν εν εκειναισ ταισ ημεραισ
But a time for this will come, when the Bridegroom has been taken away from them: then, at that time, they will fast."
36 ελεγεν δε και παραβολην προσ αυτουσ οτι ουδεισ επιβλημα ιματιου καινου επιβαλλει επι ιματιον παλαιον ει δε μηγε και το καινον σχιζει και τω παλαιω ου συμφωνει το απο του καινου
He also spoke in figurative language to them. "No one," He said, "tears a piece from a new garment to mend an old one. Otherwise he would not only spoil the new, but the patch from the new would not match the old.
37 και ουδεισ βαλλει οινον νεον εισ ασκουσ παλαιουσ ει δε μηγε ρηξει ο νεοσ οινοσ τουσ ασκουσ και αυτοσ εκχυθησεται και οι ασκοι απολουνται
Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins. Otherwise the new wine would burst the skins, the wine itself would be spilt, and the skins be destroyed.
38 αλλα οινον νεον εισ ασκουσ καινουσ βλητεον και αμφοτεροι συντηρουνται
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 και ουδεισ πιων παλαιον ευθεωσ θελει νεον λεγει γαρ ο παλαιοσ χρηστοτεροσ εστιν
Nor does any one after drinking old wine wish for new; for he says, 'The old is better.'"
