Lucam 7
1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he went to Capernaum.
2 Centurionis autem cuiusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
Here the slave of a certain Roman captain, a man dear to his master, was ill, and at the point of death.
3 Et cum audisset de Iesu, misit ad eum seniores Iudæorum, rogans eum ut veniret, et salvaret servum eius.
So when the captain heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to ask him to come and save his slave.
4 At illi cum venissent ad Iesum, rogabant eum solicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes.
And they, when they reached Jesus, asked him earnestly to do this. "He deserves that you should do this," they said,
5 diligit enim gentem nostram: et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
"for he loves our nation, and himself has built a synagogue for us."
6 Iesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum iam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum Centurio amicos, dicens: Domine noli vexari: Non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres.
So Jesus started to go with them, but while he was not far from the house, the captain sent friends to him with a message. "Lord do not trouble yourself, for I am not fit that you should come under my roof,
7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
"and so I did not think myself worthy to come to you; but speak the word, and let my man be cured.
8 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.
"For I also am a man obedient to authority, and have soldiers under me. And I say to one ‘come,’ and he comes, and to my slave ‘do this or that,’ and he does it."
9 Quo audito Iesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israel tantam fidem inveni.
But when Jesus heard this he was astonished and he turned and said to the crowd that was following him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."
10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
And those who had been sent, on returning to the house, found the slave well.
11 Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem, quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli eius, et turba copiosa.
Soon afterward he went to a city called Nain, accompanied by his disciples, and a great crowd of people.
12 Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
Now when he drew near the gate of the city, behold, they were there carrying out one who was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
A great crowd accompanied her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem, qui portabant, steterunt) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
And he came near and touched the bier; the bearer stopped and he said, "Young man, I bid you to rise."
15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
And he who was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
16 Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.
And awe took hold on them all, and they began to glorify God saying. "A great prophet has risen among us;" and, "God has visited his people."
17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Iudæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
And the report of what Jesus had done went forth throughout Judea and the surrounding regions.
18 Et nunciaverunt Ioanni discipuli eius de omnibus his.
John’s disciples brought him word of all these things
19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Ioannes, et misit ad Iesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium expectamus?
and, calling a certain two disciples to him, he sent them to Jesus, to say, "Are you ‘the coming one,’ or if we are to expect another?"
20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Ioannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es, qui venturus es, an alium expectamus?
So the men came to Jesus and said, "Johnthe Baptist has sent us to ask you if you are the coming one, or if we are to expect another."
21 (in ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
At that moment Jesus was healing many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and to many that were blind he was freely giving their sight.
22 Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renunciate Ioanni quæ audistis, et vidistis: Quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
So he answered them. "Go your way, tell Johnwhat you have seen and heard. How the blind are seeing, the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed, the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised, and the poor are hearing the proclamations of glad tidings.
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
"And blessed is he who finds no cause of stumbling in me."
24 Et cum discessissent nuncii Ioannis, cœpit de Ioanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
When John’s messengers were gone he began to speak to the crowds about John, saying, "What went out you out to the desert to behold? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
"But what you went out to behold? A man clothed in soft robes? Behold, men who are gorgeously dressed and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces.
26 Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plusquam Prophetam:
"But what went you to see? A prophet?
27 hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
"Yes, I tell you and more than a prophet. This is he who it is written. "Behold I send a messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Dico enim vobis: Maior inter natos mulierum propheta Ioanne Baptista nemo est. qui autem minor est in regno Dei, maior est illo.
"I tell you that among all that are born of women not one is greater than John; yet he that is little in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, iustificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Ioannis.
On hearing this all the people and the tax-gatherers acknowledged the justice of God by being baptized with the baptism of John;
30 Pharisæi autem, et legis periti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
but the Pharisees and lawyers who had refused his baptism, frustrated God’s purpose for themselves.
31 Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis huius? et cui similes sunt?
"To what then shall I compare the men of this generation?
32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus adinvicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
"To What are they like, they are like children sitting in the market- place and calling to one another. "‘We have piped to you,’ they say, ‘and you have not danced; we have wailed, and you did not cry.’
33 Venit enim Ioannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
"For Johnthe Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum, et peccatorum.
"The son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!’
35 Et iustificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
"Nevertheless, wisdom is justified by all her children."
36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de Pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum Pharisæi discubuit.
One of the Pharisees kept urging him to dine, so he entered the house and reclined at table.
37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo Pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
Now there was a woman who was in the city, a sinner and when she knew that that Jesus was reclining at meat in the Pharisees house, she brought an alabaster vase of perfume,
38 et stans retro secus pedes eius, lacrymis cœpit rigare pedes eius, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes eius, et unguento ungebat.
and standing behind, at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with her hair, while she tenderly kissed his feet, and poured the perfume over them.
39 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.
When he noticed this the Pharisee, who had invited him, said to himself, "If this man were really a prophet he would have perceived who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, and would know that she is a sinner."
40 Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
Jesus then spoke to him. "Simon, I have a word to say to you." "Rabbi, say on," he replied.
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
"There were once to men," said Jesus, "in debt to one money- lender. One owed him fifty pounds; the other five.
42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
"When they had nothing pay he forgave them with such charm. "Tell me, then, which of these will love him most?"
43 Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is, cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte iudicasti.
"I take it," said Simon, "the one he forgave the most."
44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrymis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.
"You have rightly judged." answered Jesus, and turning to the woman, he said to Simon. "Do you see this woman? When I came into your house you gave me no water for my feet; but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
"You gave me no kiss; but she, since she came in, has never ceased tenderly kissing my feet;
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
"you never anointed my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with my feet with perfume.
47 Propter quod dico tibi: Remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
"This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.
48 Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
"Your sins are forgiven," he said to her.
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic, qui etiam peccata dimittit?
Then the other guest began to say among themselves, "Who is this even to forgive sins?"
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
But he said to the woman. "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
