< Lucam 7 >

1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;
2 Centurionis autem cuiusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,
3 Et cum audisset de Iesu, misit ad eum seniores Iudæorum, rogans eum ut veniret, et salvaret servum eius.
and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.
4 At illi cum venissent ad Iesum, rogabant eum solicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes.
And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying — 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,
5 diligit enim gentem nostram: et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to 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.
And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;
7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;
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 placed under authority, having under myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth [it].'
9 Quo audito Iesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israel tantam fidem inveni.
And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'
10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health.
11 Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem, quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli eius, et turba copiosa.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude,
12 Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, 'Be not weeping;'
14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem, qui portabant, steterunt) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing [it] stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to thee I say, Arise;'
15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
and the 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 fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying — 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and — 'God did look upon His people.'
17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Iudæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.
18 Et nunciaverunt Ioanni discipuli eius de omnibus his.
And the disciples of John told him about 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 John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Ioannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es, qui venturus es, an alium expectamus?
And having come near to him, the men said, 'John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'
21 (in ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted 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:
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.'
24 Et cum discessissent nuncii Ioannis, cœpit de Ioanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: 'What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken?
25 Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings!
26 Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plusquam Prophetam:
'But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet:
27 hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send my 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.
for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.'
29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, iustificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Ioannis.
And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been 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 the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis huius? et cui similes sunt?
And the Lord said, 'To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus adinvicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
they are like to children, to those sitting in a market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not weep!
33 Venit enim Ioannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
'For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath 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 came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;
35 Et iustificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'
36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de Pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum Pharisæi discubuit.
And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),
37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo Pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,
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 having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.
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.
And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'
40 Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
And Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
'Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty;
42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'
43 Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is, cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte iudicasti.
And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst judge.'
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.
And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe;
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet;
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;
47 Propter quod dico tibi: Remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'
48 Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
And he said to her, 'Thy sins have been forgiven;'
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic, qui etiam peccata dimittit?
and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?'
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'
