Vangelo secondo Luca 8

DIODATI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ED avvenne poi appresso, ch’egli andava attorno di città in città, e di castello in castello, predicando, ed evangelizzando il regno di Dio, avendo seco i dodici.	1 And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 Ed anche certe donne, le quali erano state guarite da spiriti maligni, e da infermità, cioè: Maria, detta Maddalena, della quale erano usciti sette demoni;	2 along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
3 e Giovanna, moglie di Cuza, procurator di Erode; e Susanna, e molte altre; le quali gli ministravano, sovvenendolo delle lor facoltà	3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
4 ORA, raunandosi gran moltitudine, e andando la gente di tutte le città a lui, egli disse in parabola:	4 Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5 Un seminatore uscì a seminar la sua semenza; e mentre egli seminava, una parte cadde lungo la via, e fu calpestata, e gli uccelli del cielo la mangiarono tutta.	5 “The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Ed un’altra cadde sopra la pietra; e come fu nata, si seccò; perciocchè non avea umore.	6 And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Ed un’altra cadde per mezzo le spine; e le spine, nate insieme, l’affogarono.	7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8 Ed un’altra cadde in buona terra; ed essendo nata, fece frutto, cento per uno. Dicendo queste cose, gridava: Chi ha orecchie da udire, oda.	8 And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 E i suoi discepoli lo domandarono, che voleva dir quella parabola.	9 Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10 Ed egli disse: A voi è dato di conoscere i misteri del regno di Dio; ma agli altri quelli son proposti in parabole, acciocchè veggendo non veggano, e udendo non intendano.	10 And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11 Or questo è il senso della parabola: La semenza è la parola di Dio.	11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 E coloro che son seminati lungo la via son coloro che odono la parola; ma poi viene il diavolo, e toglie via la parola dal cuor loro; acciocchè non credano, e non sieno salvati.	12 And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13 E coloro che son seminati sopra la pietra son coloro i quali, quando hanno udita la parola, la ricevono con allegrezza; ma costoro non hanno radice, non credendo se non a tempo; ed al tempo della tentazione si ritraggono indietro.	13 Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14 E la parte ch’è caduta fra le spine son coloro che hanno udita la parola; ma, quando se ne sono andati, sono affogati dalle sollecitudini, e dalle ricchezze, e da’ piaceri di questa vita, e non fruttano.	14 And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15 Ma la parte che è caduta nella buona terra son coloro i quali, avendo udita la parola, la ritengono in un cuore onesto e buono, e fruttano con perseveranza.	15 But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
16 OR niuno, accesa una lampana, la copre con un vaso, o la mette sotto il letto; anzi la mette sopra il candelliere; acciocchè coloro ch’entrano veggano la luce.	16 Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Poichè non v’è nulla di nascosto, che non abbia a farsi manifesto; nè di segreto, che non abbia a sapersi, ed a venire in palese.	17 For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
18 Guardate adunque come voi udite; perciocchè a chiunque ha, sarà dato; ma a chi non ha, eziandio quel ch’egli pensa di avere gli sarà tolto.	18 Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 OR sua madre e i suoi fratelli vennero a lui, e non potevano avvicinarglisi per la moltitudine.	19 Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
20 E ciò gli fu rapportato, dicendo alcuni: Tua madre, e i tuoi fratelli, son là fuori, volendoti vedere.	20 And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: La madre mia, e i miei fratelli, son quelli che odono la parola di Dio, e la mettono ad effetto	21 And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 ED avvenne un di que’ dì, ch’egli montò in una navicella, co’ suoi discepoli, e disse loro: Passiamo all’altra riva del lago. Ed essi vogarono in alta acqua.	22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
23 E mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò; ed un turbo di vento calò nel lago, talchè la lor navicella si empieva; e pericolavano.	23 And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
24 Ed essi, accostatisi, lo svegliarono, dicendo: Maestro, Maestro, noi periamo. Ed egli, destatosi, sgridò il vento, e il fiotto dell’acqua, e quelli si acquetarono, e si fece bonaccia.	24 Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
25 E Gesù disse a’ suoi discepoli: Ov’è la vostra fede? Ed essi, impauriti, si maravigliarono, dicendo l’uno all’altro: Chi è pur costui, ch’egli comanda eziandio al vento ed all’acqua, ed essi gli ubbidiscono?	25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
26 E NAVIGARONO alla contrada de’ Gadareni, ch’è di rincontro alla Galilea.	26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 E quando egli fu smontato in terra, gli venne incontro un uomo di quella città, il quale, già da lungo tempo, avea i demoni, e non era vestito d’alcun vestimento; e non dimorava in casa alcuna, ma dentro i monumenti.	27 And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
28 E, quando ebbe veduto Gesù, diede un gran grido, e gli si gettò a’ piedi, e disse con gran voce: Gesù, Figliuol dell’Iddio altissimo, che vi è egli fra te e me? io ti prego, non tormentarmi.	28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
29 Perciocchè egli comandava allo spirito immondo di uscir di quell’uomo; perchè già da lungo tempo se n’era impodestato; e benchè fosse guardato, legato con catene, e con ceppi, rompeva i legami, ed era trasportato dal demonio ne’ deserti.	29 For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 E Gesù lo domandò, dicendo: Qual’è il tuo nome? Ed esso disse: Legione; perciocchè molti demoni erano entrati in lui.	30 Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
31 Ed essi lo pregavano che non comandasse loro di andar nell’abisso.	31 And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss.
32 Or quivi presso era una greggia di gran numero di porci, che pasturavan sul monte; e que’ demoni lo pregavano che permettesse loro d’entrare in essi. Ed egli lo permise loro.	32 And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 E que’ demoni, usciti di quell’uomo, entrarono ne’ porci; e quella greggia si gettò per lo precipizio nel lago, ed affogò.	33 Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
34 E quando coloro che li pasturavano videro ciò ch’era avvenuto, se ne fuggirono, e andarono, e lo rapportarono nella città, e per lo contado.	34 And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
35 E la gente uscì fuori, per veder ciò ch’era avvenuto; e venne a Gesù, e trovò l’uomo, del quale i demoni erano usciti, che sedeva a’ piedi di Gesù, vestito, e in buon senno; e temette.	35 Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
36 Coloro ancora che l’aveano veduto, raccontaron loro come l’indemoniato era stato liberato.	36 Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 E tutta la moltitudine del paese circonvicino dei Gadareni richiese Gesù che si dipartisse da loro; perciocchè erano occupati di grande spavento. Ed egli, montato nella navicella, se ne ritornò.	37 And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
38 Or quell’uomo, del quale erano usciti i demoni, lo pregava di poter stare con lui. Ma Gesù lo licenziò, dicendo:	38 And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Ritorna a casa tua, e racconta quanto gran cose Iddio ti ha fatte. Ed egli se ne andò per tutta la città, predicando quanto gran cose Gesù gli avea fatte	39 “Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 OR avvenne, quando Gesù fu ritornato, che la moltitudine l’accolse; perciocchè tutti l’aspettavano.	40 Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 Ed ecco un uomo, il cui nome era Iairo, il quale era capo della sinagoga, venne, e gettatosi a’ piedi di Gesù, lo pregava che venisse in casa sua.	41 And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 Perciocchè egli avea una figliuola unica, d’età d’intorno a dodici anni, la qual si moriva. Or mentre egli vi andava, la moltitudine l’affollava.	42 For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
43 Ed una donna, la quale avea un flusso di sangue già da dodici anni, ed avea spesa ne’ medici tutta la sua sostanza, e non era potuta esser guarita da alcuno;	43 And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
44 accostatasi di dietro, toccò il lembo della vesta di esso; e in quello stante il flusso del suo sangue si stagnò.	44 She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
45 E Gesù disse: Chi mi ha toccato? E negandolo tutti, Pietro, e coloro ch’eran con lui, dissero: Maestro, le turbe ti stringono, e ti affollano, e tu dici: Chi mi ha toccato?	45 And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
46 Ma Gesù disse: Alcuno mi ha toccato, perciocchè io ho conosciuto che virtù è uscita di me.	46 And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 E la donna, veggendo ch’era scoperta, tutta tremante venne; e, gettataglisi a’ piedi, gli dichiarò, in presenza di tutto il popolo, per qual cagione l’avea toccato, e come in quello stante era guarita.	47 Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 Ed egli le disse: Sta’ di buon cuore, figliuola; la tua fede ti ha salvata; vattene in pace.	48 But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 Ora, mentre egli parlava ancora, venne uno di casa del capo della sinagoga, dicendogli: La tua figliuola è morta; non dar molestia al Maestro.	49 While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
50 Ma Gesù, udito ciò, gli fece motto, e disse: Non temere; credi solamente, ed ella sarà salva.	50 Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 Ed entrato nella casa, non permise che alcuno vi entrasse, se non Pietro, e Giovanni, e Giacomo, e il padre, e la madre della fanciulla.	51 And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 Or tutti piangevano, e facevan cordoglio di lei. Ma egli disse: Non piangete; ella non è morta, ma dorme.	52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
53 Ed essi si ridevano di lui, sapendo ch’ella era morta.	53 And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 Ma egli, avendo messi fuori tutti, e presala per la mano, gridò, dicendo: Fanciulla, levati.	54 But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
55 E il suo spirito ritornò in lei, ed ella si levò prontamente; ed egli comandò che le si desse da mangiare.	55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 E il padre, e la madre di essa, sbigottirono. E Gesù comandò loro, che non dicessero ad alcuno ciò ch’era stato fatto	56 And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
