< Κατα Μαρκον 2 >

1 και εισελθων παλιν εις καφαρναουμ δι ημερων ηκουσθη οτι εν οικω εστιν
Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";
2 και συνηχθησαν πολλοι ωστε μηκετι χωρειν μηδε τα προς την θυραν και ελαλει αυτοις τον λογον
and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.
3 και ερχονται φεροντες προς αυτον παραλυτικον αιρομενον υπο τεσσαρων
While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.
4 και μη δυναμενοι προσενεγκαι αυτω δια τον οχλον απεστεγασαν την στεγην οπου ην και εξορυξαντες χαλωσιν τον κραβαττον οπου ο παραλυτικος κατεκειτο
When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.
5 και ιδων ο ιησους την πιστιν αυτων λεγει τω παραλυτικω τεκνον αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι
Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."
6 ησαν δε τινες των γραμματεων εκει καθημενοι και διαλογιζομενοι εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων
But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.
7 τι ουτος ουτως λαλει βλασφημει τις δυναται αφιεναι αμαρτιας ει μη εις ο θεος
"Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"
8 και ευθυς επιγνους ο ιησους τω πνευματι αυτου οτι {VAR1: [ουτως] } {VAR2: ουτως } διαλογιζονται εν εαυτοις λεγει {VAR1: [αυτοις] } {VAR2: αυτοις } τι ταυτα διαλογιζεσθε εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.
9 τι εστιν ευκοπωτερον ειπειν τω παραλυτικω αφιενται σου αι αμαρτιαι η ειπειν {VAR1: εγειρου [και] } {VAR2: εγειρε και } αρον τον κραβαττον σου και περιπατει
"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your cot and walk’?
10 ινα δε ειδητε οτι εξουσιαν εχει ο υιος του ανθρωπου αφιεναι αμαρτιας επι της γης λεγει τω παραλυτικω
But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-
11 σοι λεγω εγειρε αρον τον κραβαττον σου και υπαγε εις τον οικον σου
"I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."
12 και ηγερθη και ευθυς αρας τον κραβαττον εξηλθεν εμπροσθεν παντων ωστε εξιστασθαι παντας και δοξαζειν τον θεον {VAR1: [λεγοντας] } {VAR2: λεγοντας } οτι ουτως ουδεποτε ειδομεν
The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
13 και εξηλθεν παλιν παρα την θαλασσαν και πας ο οχλος ηρχετο προς αυτον και εδιδασκεν αυτους
Then Jesus went again to the seaside, and the whole crowd kept coming to him, and he taught them.
14 και παραγων ειδεν λευιν τον του αλφαιου καθημενον επι το τελωνιον και λεγει αυτω ακολουθει μοι και αναστας ηκολουθησεν αυτω
As he was passing by he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax-office; and he said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed him.
15 και γινεται κατακεισθαι αυτον εν τη οικια αυτου και πολλοι τελωναι και αμαρτωλοι συνανεκειντο τω ιησου και τοις μαθηταις αυτου ησαν γαρ πολλοι και ηκολουθουν αυτω
Later on Levi was sitting at table in his house, and together with Jesus and his disciples a number of tax-gatherers and sinners were guests, for there were many of them who used to follow him.
16 και οι γραμματεις των φαρισαιων ιδοντες οτι εσθιει μετα των αμαρτωλων και τελωνων ελεγον τοις μαθηταις αυτου οτι μετα των τελωνων και αμαρτωλων εσθιει
But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"
17 και ακουσας ο ιησους λεγει αυτοις [οτι] ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλ οι κακως εχοντες ουκ ηλθον καλεσαι δικαιους αλλα αμαρτωλους
On hearing this Jesus said to them. "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 και ησαν οι μαθηται ιωαννου και οι φαρισαιοι νηστευοντες και ερχονται και λεγουσιν αυτω δια τι οι μαθηται ιωαννου και οι μαθηται των φαρισαιων νηστευουσιν οι δε σοι {VAR1: [μαθηται] } {VAR2: μαθηται } ου νηστευουσιν
Now the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"
19 και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους μη δυνανται οι υιοι του νυμφωνος εν ω ο νυμφιος μετ αυτων εστιν νηστευειν οσον χρονον εχουσιν τον νυμφιον μετ αυτων ου δυνανται νηστευειν
"Can friends of the bridegroom fast while he is still with them?" asked Jesus. "As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 ελευσονται δε ημεραι οταν απαρθη απ αυτων ο νυμφιος και τοτε νηστευσουσιν εν εκεινη τη ημερα
But the days will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, on that day, they will fast.
21 ουδεις επιβλημα ρακους αγναφου επιραπτει επι ιματιον παλαιον ει δε μη αιρει το πληρωμα απ αυτου το καινον του παλαιου και χειρον σχισμα γινεται
No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment, otherwise the patch tears away from it - the new from the old - and a worse tear is made.
22 και ουδεις βαλλει οινον νεον εις ασκους παλαιους ει δε μη ρηξει ο οινος τους ασκους και ο οινος απολλυται και οι ασκοι {VAR1: [αλλα } {VAR2: αλλα } οινον νεον εις ασκους {VAR1: καινους] } {VAR2: καινους }
And no one ever pours new wine into old wine-skins, else the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine is poured into fresh wine-skins.
23 και εγενετο αυτον εν τοις σαββασιν {VAR1: διαπορευεσθαι } {VAR2: παραπορευεσθαι } δια των σποριμων και οι μαθηται αυτου ηρξαντο οδον ποιειν τιλλοντες τους σταχυας
One Sabbath he was walking along through the wheat-fields, and his disciples, as they began to make their way across, were pulling the heads of wheat.
24 και οι φαρισαιοι ελεγον αυτω ιδε τι ποιουσιν τοις σαββασιν ο ουκ εξεστιν
"Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"
25 και λεγει αυτοις ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε τι εποιησεν δαυιδ οτε χρειαν εσχεν και επεινασεν αυτος και οι μετ αυτου
He answered them. "Have you never read what David did when he was needy and hungry, he and his men?
26 {VAR1: [πως] } {VAR2: πως } εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου επι αβιαθαρ αρχιερεως και τους αρτους της προθεσεως εφαγεν ους ουκ εξεστιν φαγειν ει μη τους ιερεις και εδωκεν και τοις συν αυτω ουσιν
How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which none but priests may eat, and gave some to his men?
27 και ελεγεν αυτοις το σαββατον δια τον ανθρωπον εγενετο και ουχ ο ανθρωπος δια το σαββατον
"The Sabbath," he told them, "was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;
28 ωστε κυριος εστιν ο υιος του ανθρωπου και του σαββατου
so the Son of man is Master even of the Sabbath."
