Lucam 7
1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
3 Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.
But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
4 At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes:
And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
6 Jesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum jam 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 journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant 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 too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth it.
9 Quo audito Jesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.
And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
11 Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.
And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, 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.
Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over 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, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers 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 man 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 seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath visited his people!
17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
18 Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.
And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
21 (In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)
In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
22 Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis: quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a 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 went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.
26 Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:
But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly 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 is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28 Dico enim vobis: major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.
I say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.
And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
30 Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
31 Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus? et cui similes sunt?
Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?
32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
33 Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.
The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.
35 Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
And yet wisdom hath been justified by 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 requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
And, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
38 et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.
and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
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.
But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.
40 Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.
42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
43 Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte judicasti.
Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni: Vides hanc mulierem? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti: hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.
And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
47 Propter quod dico tibi: remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
48 Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?
And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
