< Lucam 8 >

1 Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella prædicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei: et duodecim cum illo,
And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve [are] with him,
2 et mulieres aliquæ, quæ erant curatæ a spiritibus malignis et infirmantibus: Maria, quæ vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem dæmonia exierant,
and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,
3 et Joanna uxor Chusæ procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliæ multæ, quæ ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.
and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to him from their substance.
4 Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:
And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile:
5 Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres cæli comederunt illud.
'The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.
6 Et aliud cecidit supra petram: et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.
'And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture.
7 Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortæ spinæ suffocaverunt illud.
'And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.
8 Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam: et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Hæc dicens clamabat: Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
'And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, 'He having ears to hear — let him hear.'
9 Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quæ esset hæc parabola.
And his disciples were questioning him, saying, 'What may this simile be?'
10 Quibus ipse dixit: Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis: ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.
And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 Est autem hæc parabola: Semen est verbum Dei.
'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God,
12 Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt: deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.
and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.
13 Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum: et hi radices non habent: qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.
'And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Quod autem in spinas cecidit: hi sunt qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitæ euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum.
'And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.
15 Quod autem in bonam terram: hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.
'And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it], and bear fruit in continuance.
16 Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit: sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.
'And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light,
17 Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur: nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.
for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest.
18 Videte ergo quomodo audiatis? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi: et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo.
'See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.'
19 Venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres ejus, et non poterant adire eum præ turba.
And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude,
20 Et nuntiatum est illi: Mater tua et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre.
and it was told him, saying, 'Thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, wishing to see thee;'
21 Qui respondens, dixit ad eos: Mater mea et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt.
and he answering said unto them, 'My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.'
22 Factum est autem in una dierum: et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli ejus, et ait ad illos: Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,
23 Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur.
and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.
24 Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes: Præceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquæ, et cessavit: et facta est tranquillitas.
And having come near, they awoke him, saying, 'Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm,
25 Dixit autem illis: Ubi est fides vestra? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes: Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei?
and he said to them, 'Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'
26 Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quæ est contra Galilæam.
And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee,
27 Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat dæmonium jam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis.
and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,
28 Is, ut vidit Jesum, procidit ante illum: et exclamans voce magna, dixit: Quid mihi et tibi est, Jesu Fili Dei Altissimi? obsecro te, ne me torqueas.
and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What — to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'
29 Præcipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. Et ruptis vinculis agebatur a dæmonio in deserta.
For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters — guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts.
30 Interrogavit autem illum Jesus, dicens: Quod tibi nomen est? At ille dixit: Legio: quia intraverant dæmonia multa in eum.
And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is thy name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him, )
31 Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent. (Abyssos g12)
and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, (Abyssos g12)
32 Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte: et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.
and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,
33 Exierunt ergo dæmonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos: et impetu abiit grex per præceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.
and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.
34 Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas.
And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the fields;
35 Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Jesum, et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo dæmonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente, ad pedes ejus, et timuerunt.
and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;
36 Nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione:
and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac was saved.
37 et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis: quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.
And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.
38 Et rogabat illum vir, a quo dæmonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Jesus, dicens:
And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, prædicans quanta illi fecisset Jesus.
'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.
40 Factum est autem cum rediisset Jesus, excepit illum turba: erunt enim omnes exspectantes eum.
And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,
41 Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Jairus, et ipse princeps synagogæ erat: et cecidit ad pedes Jesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum ejus,
and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;
42 quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et hæc moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.
because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him,
43 Et mulier quædam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quæ in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari:
and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,
44 accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus: et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis ejus.
having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood.
45 Et ait Jesus: Quis est, qui me tetigit? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant: Præceptor, turbæ te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis: Quis me tetigit?
And Jesus said, 'Who [is] it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it that touched me!'
46 Et dicit Jesus: Tetigit me aliquis: nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse.
And Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'
47 Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes ejus: et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo: et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.
And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;
48 At ipse dixit ei: Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit: vade in pace.
and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'
49 Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogæ, dicens ei: Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum.
While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's [house], saying to him — 'Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'
50 Jesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellæ: Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit.
and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, 'Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'
51 Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et patrem, et matrem puellæ.
And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;
52 Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit: Nolite flere: non est mortua puella, sed dormit.
and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;
53 Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.
and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;
54 Ipse autem tenens manum ejus clamavit, dicens: Puella, surge.
and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, 'Child, arise;'
55 Et reversus est spiritus ejus, et surrexit continuo. Et jussit illi dari manducare.
and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he directed that there be given to her to eat;
56 Et stupuerunt parentes ejus, quibus præcepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.
and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to no one what was come to pass.
