Lucam 5
1 Factum est autem, cum turbae irruerunt in eum, ut audirent verbum Dei, et ipse stabat secus stagnum Genesareth.
On one occasion when he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, the crowd pressed upon him to listen to the word of God.
2 Et vidit duas naves stantes secus stagnum: piscatores autem descenderant, et lavabant retia.
But he saw two fishing-boats on the shore of the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
3 Ascendens autem in unam navim, quae erat Simonis, rogavit eum a terra reducere pusillum. Et sedens docebat de navicula turbas.
He went on board one of the boats which belonged to Simon, and asked him to push out a little way from land. Then he sat down and continued to teach the crowd from the boat.
4 Ut cessavit autem loqui, dixit ad Simonem: Duc in altum, et laxate retia vestra in capturam.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water, and let down your nets for a haul."
5 Et respondens Simon, dixit illi: Praeceptor, per totam noctem laborantes, nihil cepimus: in verbo autem tuo laxabo rete.
"Master," answered Simon, "although we toiled all night, we took nothing; but at your bidding I will let down the nets."
6 Et cum hoc fecissent, concluserunt piscium multitudinem copiosam, rumpebatur autem rete eorum.
And when they had done this they enclosed a great multitude of fish; and their nets began to break.
7 Et annuerunt sociis, qui erant in alia navi ut venirent, et adiuvarent eos. Et venerunt, et impleverunt ambas naviculas, ita ut pene mergerentur.
So they motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Quod cum videret Simon Petrus, procidit ad genua Iesu, dicens: Exi a me, Domine, quia homo peccator sum.
When Simon Peter saw this he fell down at the knees of Jesus, exclaiming, "Depart from me, O Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
9 Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnes, qui cum illo erant, in captura piscium, quam ceperant:
(For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 Similiter autem Iacobum, et Ioannem, filios Zebedaei, qui erant socii Simonis. Et ait ad Simonem Iesus: Noli timere: ex hoc iam homines eris capiens.
and so were Simon’s partners, Jamesand John, sons of Zebedee.) But Jesus answered Simon. "Fear not; from this time on, you will be catching men."
11 Et subductis ad terram navibus, relictis omnibus secuti sunt eum.
So when they had brought their boats to land they left everything and followed him.
12 Et factum est, cum esset in una civitatum, et ecce vir plenus lepra, et videns Iesum, et procidens in faciem, rogavit eum, dicens: Domine, si vis, potes me mundare.
Another time when he was in one of their cities, there was a man there full of leprosy. And he, upon seeing Jesus, fell on his face and implored him. "Lord," he said, "if only you choose you can make me clean."
13 Et extendens manum, tetigit eum Iesus dicens: Volo: Mundare. Et confestim lepra discessit ab illo.
And he stretched out his hand and touching him, said. "I do choose; be made clean."
14 et ipse praecepit illi ut nemini diceret: sed, Vade, ostende te sacerdoti, et offer pro emundatione tua, sicut praecepit Moyses, in testimonium illis.
And instantly the leprosy left him. Jesus ordered him to tell no one, "But be off," he said, "show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
15 Perambulabat autem magis sermo de illo: et conveniebant turbae multae ut audirent, et curarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.
But all the more the report about him continued to spread; and great crowds began to come together to hear him, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 Ipse autem secedebat in desertum, et orabat.
But Jesus himself habitually withdrew into solitary places, and there used to pray.
17 Et factum est in una dierum, et ipse sedebat docens. Et erant Pharisaei sedentes, et legis doctores, qui venerant ex omni castello Galilaeae, et Iudaeae, et Ierusalem: et virtus Domini erat ad sanandum eos.
One day he was teaching, and near to him were seated Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 Et ecce viri portantes in lecto hominem, qui erat paralyticus: et quaerebant eum inferre, et ponere ante eum.
And behold there came men carrying a paralytic on a bed; and they tried to bring him and lay him before Jesus, but they could not because of the crowd.
19 Et non invenientes qua parte illum inferrent prae turba, ascenderunt supra tectum, et per tegulas summiserunt eum cum lecto in medium ante Iesum.
So they went up on the roof, and let him down through the tiling, with his bed, into the crowd, before Jesus.
20 Quorum fidem ut vidit, dixit: Homo remittuntur tibi peccata tua.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"
21 Et coeperunt cogitare Scribae, et Pharisaei, dicentes: Quis est hic, qui loquitur blasphemias? Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus?
And the Scribes and Pharisees began to cavil. "Who is this?" they asked, "speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
22 Ut cognovit autem Iesus cogitationes eorum, respondens, dixit ad illos: Quid cogitatis mala in cordibus vestris?
Conscious of their cavilings, Jesus answered, saying.
23 Quid est facilius dicere: Dimittuntur tibi peccata: an dicere: Surge, et ambula?
"What is this caviling in your hearts? Which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven," or to say, "Rise and walk?"
24 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata, (ait paralytico) Tibi dico, surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.
But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to the paralytic), "I bid you rise, take up your bed, and go to your house."
25 Et confestim consurgens coram illis, tulit lectum, in quo iacebat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificans Deum.
And instantly he arose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and went away to his house, glorifying God.
26 Et stupor apprehendit omnes, et magnificabant Deum. Et repleti sunt timore, dicentes: Quia vidimus mirabilia hodie.
Astonishment fell upon them all, and they began to glorify God, and they were filled with awe, and they said, "We have seen strange things today."
27 Et post haec exiit, et vidit publicanum nomine Levi, sedentem ad Telonium, et ait illi: Sequere me.
After this he went forth and noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, "Follow me."
28 Et relictis omnibus, surgens secutus est eum.
He rose, left everything, and followed him.
29 et fecit ei convivium magnum Levi in domo sua: et erat turba multa publicanorum, et aliorum, qui cum illis erant discumbentes.
Levi also made him a great reception at his house. There was a large party of tax-gatherers and others who were dining with them.
30 Et murmurabant Pharisaei, et Scribae eorum dicentes ad discipulos eius: Quare cum publicanis, et peccatoribus manducatis, et bibitis?
And the Pharisees and their scribes began complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax- gatherers and sinners?"
31 Et respondens Iesus, dixit ad illos: Non egent qui sani sunt medico, sed qui male habent.
Jesus answered them saying. "They who are well have no need of a physician, but they who are ill.
32 Non veni vocare iustos, sed peccatores ad poenitentiam.
I am not come to call the righteous but sinners, to repentance."
33 At illi dixerunt ad eum: Quare discipuli Ioannis ieiunant frequenter, et obsecrationes faciunt, similiter et Pharisaeorum: tui autem edunt, et bibunt?
Again they said unto him. "Why do the disciples of Johnfast frequently, and make supplications, as also do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples are eating and drinking?"
34 Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis filios sponsi, dum cum illis est sponsus, facere ieiunare?
"Can you make the bridal party fast," he asked, while the bridegroom is still with them?
35 Venient autem dies: cum ablatus fuerit ab illis sponsus, tunc ieiunabunt in illis diebus.
"But there is coming a day when the Bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then at that time they will fast."
36 Dicebat autem et similitudinem ad illos: Quia nemo commissuram a novo vestimento immittit in vestimentum vetus: alioquin et novum rumpit, et veteri non convenit commissura a novo.
He also told them a parable. "No one," he said, "tears a piece from a new garment, and patches it upon an old one; otherwise he will tear the new garment, and the patch from the new will not mend the old.
37 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres: alioquin rumpet vinum novum utres, et ipsum effundetur, et utres peribunt.
"Nor does any one pour new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and will itself be spilled, and the skins be destroyed
38 sed vinum novum in utres novos mittendum est, et utraque conservantur.
"But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins
39 Et nemo bibens vetus, statim vult novum, dicit enim: Vetus melius est.
"And no man after drinking old wine, wishes for new; for he says, "The old is better.""
