Mark 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home.	1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,
2 Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them.	2 et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum.
3 They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.	3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur.
4 Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.	4 Et cum non possent offerre eum illi præ turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat : et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."	5 Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico : Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves,	6 Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis :
7 "Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?"	7 Quid hic sic loquitur ? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus ?
8 Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, "Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?	8 Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis : Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris ?
9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, pick up your mat and walk'?	9 Quid est facilius dicere paralytico : Dimittuntur tibi peccata : an dicere : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula ?
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth"--	10 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),
11 he said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home."	11 tibi dico : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.
12 He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this."	12 Et statim surrexit ille : et, sublato grabato, abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes : Quia numquam sic vidimus.
13 Once again he went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them.	13 Et egressus est rursus ad mare, omnisque turba veniebat ad eum, et docebat eos.
14 As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.	14 Et cum præteriret, vidit Levi Alphæi sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi : Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum.
15 While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.	15 Et factum est, cum accumberet in domo illius, multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Jesu et discipulis ejus : erant enim multi, qui et sequebantur eum.
16 Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"	16 Et scribæ et pharisæi videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus, dicebant discipulis ejus : Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester ?
17 Jesus heard this and said to them (that), "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."	17 Hoc audito Jesus ait illis : Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui male habent : non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.
18 The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to him and objected, "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"	18 Et erant discipuli Joannis et pharisæi jejunantes : et veniunt, et dicunt illi : Quare discipuli Joannis et pharisæorum jejunant, tui autem discipuli non jejunant ?
19 Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.	19 Et ait illis Jesus : Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, jejunare ? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt jejunare.
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day.	20 Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus : et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse.	21 Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri : alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri, et major scissura fit.
22 Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins."	22 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres : alioquin dirumpet vinum utres, et vinum effundetur, et utres peribunt : sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet.
23 As he was passing through a field of grain on the sabbath, his disciples began to make a path while picking the heads of grain.	23 Et factum est iterum cum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, et discipuli ejus cœperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.
24 At this the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?"	24 Pharisæi autem dicebant ei : Ecce, quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet ?
25 He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry?	25 Et ait illis : Numquam legistis quid fecerit David, quando necessitatem habuit, et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant ?
26 How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the bread of offering that only the priests could lawfully eat, and shared it with his companions?"	26 quomodo introivit in domum Dei sub Abiathar principe sacerdotum, et panes propositionis manducavit, quos non licebat manducare, nisi sacerdotibus, et dedit eis qui cum eo erant ?
27 Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.	27 Et dicebat eis : Sabbatum propter hominem factum est, et non homo propter sabbatum.
28 That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath."	28 Itaque Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.
