Lucam 9
1 Convocatis autem duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia dæmonia, et ut languores curarent.
Jesus called the twelve disciples together. He gave them power and authority over all demons, and the ability to heal diseases.
2 Et misit illos prædicare regnum Dei, et sanare infirmos.
Then he sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick.
3 Et ait ad illos: Nihil tuleritis in via, neque virgam, neque peram, neque panem, neque pecuniam, neque duas tunicas habeatis.
“Take nothing with you for the journey,” he told them. “No staff, no bag, no bread, no money, not even any extra clothes.
4 Et in quamcumque domum intraveritis, ibi manete, et inde ne exeatis.
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and when you leave, leave from there.
5 Et quicumque non receperint vos: exeuntes de civitate illa, etiam pulverem pedum vestrorum excutite in testimonium supra illos.
If people refuse to accept you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave town as a warning against them.”
6 Egressi autem circuibant per castella evangelizantes, et curantes ubique.
They left and went around the villages, announcing the good news and healing everywhere they went.
7 Audivit autem Herodes tetrarcha omnia quæ fiebant ab eo, et hæsitabat eo quod diceretur
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was happening, and he was very puzzled. Some were saying that John had been raised from the dead;
8 a quibusdam: Quia Joannes surrexit a mortuis: a quibusdam vero: Quia Elias apparuit: ab aliis autem: Quia propheta unus de antiquis surrexit.
others that Elijah had appeared; still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life.
9 Et ait Herodes: Joannem ego decollavi: quis est autem iste, de quo ego talia audio? Et quærebat videre eum.
Herod said, “There's no question I beheaded John. So who is this man? I'm hearing all these things about him.” And he tried to find a way to meet Jesus.
10 Et reversi Apostoli, narraverunt illi quæcumque fecerunt: et assumptis illis secessit seorsum in locum desertum, qui est Bethsaidæ.
When the apostles returned they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he left with them and went to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Quod cum cognovissent turbæ, secutæ sunt illum: et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat.
However, the crowds found out where he was going and followed him there. He welcomed them and explained the kingdom of God to them, and healed those who needed healing.
12 Dies autem cœperat declinare, et accedentes duodecim dixerunt illi: Dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella villasque quæ circa sunt, divertant, et inveniant escas: quia hic in loco deserto sumus.
Late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “You should send the crowd away now so they can go to the villages and farms nearby and find a place to stay and food to eat—there's nothing here where we are.”
13 Ait autem ad illos: Vos date illis manducare. At illi dixerunt: Non sunt nobis plus quam quinque panes et duo pisces: nisi forte nos eamus, et emamus in omnem hanc turbam escas.
“You give them something to eat!” said Jesus. “All we have here are five loaves and two fish—unless you want us to go and buy food for everyone,” they said.
14 Erant autem fere viri quinque millia. Ait autem ad discipulos suos: Facite illos discumbere per convivia quinquagenos.
There were about five thousand men present. “Sit them down in groups of about fifty,” he told his disciples.
15 Et ita fecerunt: et discumbere fecerunt omnes.
The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
16 Acceptis autem quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, respexit in cælum, et benedixit illis: et fregit, et distribuit discipulis suis, ut ponerent ante turbas.
Jesus picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed the food and broke it into pieces. He kept on giving the food to the disciples to share with the people.
17 Et manducaverunt omnes, et saturati sunt. Et sublatum est quod superfuit illis, fragmentorum cophini duodecim.
Everybody ate until they were full, and then twelve baskets of leftovers were collected.
18 Et factum est cum solus esset orans, erant cum illo et discipuli: et interrogavit illos, dicens: Quem me dicunt esse turbæ?
At another time, when Jesus was praying in private with just his disciples with him, he asked them, “All these crowds of people—who do they say I am?”
19 At illi responderunt, et dixerunt: Joannem Baptistam, alii autem Eliam, alii vero quia unus propheta de prioribus surrexit.
“Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others say one of the ancient prophets risen from the dead,” they replied.
20 Dixit autem illis: Vos autem quem me esse dicitis? Respondens Simon Petrus, dixit: Christum Dei.
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” “God's Messiah,” Peter replied.
21 At ille increpans illos, præcepit ne cui dicerent hoc,
Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell anybody about this.
22 dicens: Quia oportet Filium hominis multa pati, et reprobari a senioribus, et principibus sacerdotum, et scribis, et occidi, et tertia die resurgere.
“The Son of man must experience terrible sufferings,” he said. “He will be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the religious teachers. He will be killed, but on the third day he will rise again.”
23 Dicebat autem ad omnes: Si quis vult post me venire, abneget semetipsum, et tollat crucem suam quotidie, et sequatur me.
“If any one of you wants to follow me, you must deny yourself, pick up your cross daily, and follow me,” Jesus told all of them.
24 Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet illam: nam qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, salvam faciet illam.
“For if you want to save your life, you will lose it; and if you lose your life for my sake, you will save it.
25 Quid enim proficit homo, si lucretur universum mundum, se autem ipsum perdat, et detrimentum sui faciat?
What do you benefit by gaining the whole world if you end up lost or destroyed?
26 Nam qui me erubuerit, et meos sermones: hunc Filius hominis erubescet cum venerit in majestate sua, et Patris, et sanctorum angelorum.
If you are ashamed of me and my message, the Son of man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory, and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
27 Dico autem vobis vere: sunt aliqui hic stantes, qui non gustabunt mortem donec videant regnum Dei.
I tell you the truth, some standing here won't taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Factum est autem post hæc verba fere dies octo, et assumpsit Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et ascendit in montem ut oraret.
About eight days later, after he had told them this, Jesus took Peter, John, and James with him and went up a mountain to pray.
29 Et facta est, dum oraret, species vultus ejus altera: et vestitus ejus albus et refulgens.
While he was praying, his face changed in appearance, and his clothing became a dazzling white.
30 Et ecce duo viri loquebantur cum illo. Erant autem Moyses et Elias,
Two men appeared in brilliant glory. They were Moses and Elijah, and they began to talk with Jesus.
31 visi in majestate: et dicebant excessum ejus, quem completurus erat in Jerusalem.
They spoke about his death, which would soon happen in Jerusalem.
32 Petrus vero, et qui cum illo erant, gravati erant somno. Et evigilantes viderunt majestatem ejus, et duos viros qui stabant cum illo.
Peter and the others were asleep. When they woke up they saw Jesus in his glory, and the two men standing next to him.
33 Et factum est cum discederent ab illo, ait Petrus ad Jesum: Præceptor, bonum est nos hic esse: et faciamus tria tabernacula, unum tibi, et unum Moysi, et unum Eliæ: nesciens quid diceret.
As the two men were about to leave, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it's great to be here. Let's make some shelters: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He really didn't know what he was saying.
34 Hæc autem illo loquente, facta est nubes, et obumbravit eos: et timuerunt, intrantibus illis in nubem.
While he was speaking a cloud came and spread over them. They were terrified as they entered the cloud.
35 Et vox facta est de nube, dicens: Hic est Filius meus dilectus, ipsum audite.
A voice spoke from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him!”
36 Et dum fieret vox, inventus est Jesus solus. Et ipsi tacuerunt, et nemini dixerunt in illis diebus quidquam ex his quæ viderant.
When the voice finished speaking, Jesus was there alone. They kept this to themselves, and didn't tell anyone at that time what they'd seen.
37 Factum est autem in sequenti die, descendentibus illis de monte, occurrit illis turba multa.
The next day, when they had come down the mountain, a huge crowd was waiting to meet Jesus.
38 Et ecce vir de turba exclamavit, dicens: Magister, obsecro te, respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi:
A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.
39 et ecce spiritus apprehendit eum, et subito clamat, et elidit, et dissipat eum cum spuma, et vix discedit dilanians eum:
A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.
40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut ejicerent illum, et non potuerunt.
I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”
41 Respondens autem Jesus, dixit: O generatio infidelis, et perversa, usquequo ero apud vos, et patiar vos? adduc huc filium tuum.
“What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”
42 Et cum accederet, elisit illum dæmonium, et dissipavit.
Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.
43 Et increpavit Jesus spiritum immundum, et sanavit puerum, et reddidit illum patri ejus.
Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,
44 Stupebant autem omnes in magnitudine Dei: omnibusque mirantibus in omnibus quæ faciebat, dixit ad discipulos suos: Ponite vos in cordibus vestris sermones istos: Filius enim hominis futurum est ut tradatur in manus hominum.
“Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
45 At illi ignorabant verbum istud, et erat velatum ante eos ut non sentirent illud: et timebant eum interrogare de hoc verbo.
But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 Intravit autem cogitatio in eos quis eorum major esset.
Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.
47 At Jesus videns cogitationes cordis illorum, apprehendit puerum, et statuit illum secus se,
But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.
48 et ait illis: Quicumque susceperit puerum istum in nomine meo, me recipit: et quicumque me receperit, recipit eum qui me misit. Nam qui minor est inter vos omnes, hic major est.
Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”
49 Respondens autem Joannes dixit: Præceptor, vidimus quemdam in nomine tuo ejicientem dæmonia, et prohibuimus eum: quia non sequitur nobiscum.
John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”
50 Et ait ad illum Jesus: Nolite prohibere: qui enim non est adversum vos, pro vobis est.
“Don't stop him,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who isn't against you is for you.”
51 Factum est autem dum complerentur dies assumptionis ejus, et ipse faciem suam firmavit ut iret in Jerusalem.
As the time approached for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem.
52 Et misit nuntios ante conspectum suum: et euntes intraverunt in civitatem Samaritanorum ut parerent illi.
He sent messengers on ahead to a Samaritan village to get things ready for him.
53 Et non receperunt eum, quia facies ejus erat euntis in Jerusalem.
But the people would not welcome him because he was determined to press on to Jerusalem.
54 Cum vidissent autem discipuli ejus Jacobus et Joannes, dixerunt: Domine, vis dicimus ut ignis descendat de cælo, et consumat illos?
When James and John saw this, they asked Jesus, “Master, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to burn them up?”
55 Et conversus increpavit illos, dicens: Nescitis cujus spiritus estis.
But Jesus turned, and reprimanded them.
56 Filius hominis non venit animas perdere, sed salvare. Et abierunt in aliud castellum.
Then they proceeded to another village.
57 Factum est autem: ambulantibus illis in via, dixit quidam ad illum: Sequar te quocumque ieris.
While they were walking, one man told Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go!”
58 Dixit illi Jesus: Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres cæli nidos: Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet.
Jesus told the man, “Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man doesn't even have a place to rest his head.”
59 Ait autem ad alterum: Sequere me: ille autem dixit: Domine, permitte mihi primum ire, et sepelire patrem meum.
He told another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Master, first let me go home and bury my father.”
60 Dixitque ei Jesus: Sine ut mortui sepeliant mortuos suos: tu autem vade, et annuntia regnum Dei.
“Let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus replied. “You go and proclaim God's kingdom.”
61 Et ait alter: Sequar te Domine, sed permitte mihi primum renuntiare his quæ domi sunt.
Another man said, “Lord, I will follow you! But first let me go home and say goodbye to my family.”
62 Ait ad illum Jesus: Nemo mittens manum suam ad aratrum, et respiciens retro, aptus est regno Dei.
But Jesus told him, “Nobody once they've started plowing and then looks back is fit for God's kingdom.”
