Vangelo secondo Marco 6

DIODATI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 POI, egli si partì di là, e venne nella sua patria, e i suoi discepoli lo seguitarono.	1 And departing from there, he went away to his own country; and his disciples followed him.
2 E venuto il sabato, egli si mise ad insegnar nella sinagoga; e molti, udendolo, sbigottivano, dicendo: Onde ha costui queste cose? e quale è questa sapienza che gli è data? ed onde è che cotali potenti operazioni son fatte per mano sua?	2 And when the Sabbath arrived, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many, upon hearing him, were amazed at his doctrine, saying: “Where did this one get all these things?” and, “What is this wisdom, which has been given to him?” and, “Such powerful deeds, which are wrought by his hands!”
3 Non è costui quel falegname, figliuol di Maria, fratel di Giacomo, di Iose, di Giuda, e di Simone? e non sono le sue sorelle qui appresso di noi? Ed erano scandalezzati in lui.	3 “Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? Are not his sisters also here with us?” And they took great offense at him.
4 Ma Gesù disse loro: Niun profeta è disonorato, se non nella sua patria, e fra i suoi parenti, e in casa sua.	4 And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred.”
5 E non potè quivi fare alcuna potente operazione, salvo che, poste le mani sopra alcuni pochi infermi, li sanò.	5 And he was not able to perform any miracles there, except that he cured a few of the infirm by laying his hands on them.
6 E si maravigliava della loro incredulità; e andava attorno per le castella, insegnando	6 And he wondered, because of their unbelief, and he traveled around in the villages, teaching.
7 ED egli chiamò a sè i dodici, e prese a mandarli a due a due; e diede loro podestà sopra gli spiriti immondi.	7 And he called the twelve. And he began to send them out in twos, and he gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 E comandò loro che non prendessero nulla per lo viaggio, se non solo un bastone; non tasca, non pane, non moneta nelle lor cinture.	8 And he instructed them not to take anything for the journey, except a staff: no traveling bag, no bread, and no money belt,
9 E che fossero sol calzati di sandali, e non portassero due toniche indosso.	9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
10 Disse loro ancora: Dovunque sarete entrati in alcuna casa, dimorate in quella, finchè usciate di quel luogo.	10 And he said to them: “Whenever you have entered into a house, stay there until you depart from that place.
11 E se alcuni non vi ricevono, e non vi ascoltano, partitevi di là, e scotete la polvere di sotto a’ vostri piedi, in testimonianza contro a loro. Io vi dico in verità, che Sodoma e Gomorra saranno più tollerabilmente trattate nel giorno del giudizio, che quella città.	11 And whoever will neither receive you, nor listen to you, as you go away from there, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
12 Essi adunque, partitisi, predicavano che gli uomini si ravvedessero.	12 And going out, they were preaching, so that people would repent.
13 E cacciavano molti demoni, ed ungevano d’olio molti infermi e li sanavano	13 And they cast out many demons, and they anointed many of the sick with oil and healed them.
14 OR il re Erode udì parlar di Gesù, perciocchè il suo nome era divenuto chiaro, e diceva: Quel Giovanni che battezzava è risuscitato da’ morti; e perciò le potenze operano in lui.	14 And king Herod heard of it, (for his name had become well-known) and he said: “John the Baptist has risen again from the dead, and because of this, miracles are at work in him.”
15 Altri dicevano: Egli è Elia; ed altri: Egli è un profeta, pari ad un de’ profeti.	15 But others were saying, “Because it is Elijah.” Still others were saying, “Because he is a prophet, like one of the prophets.”
16 Ma Erode, udite quelle cose, disse: Egli è quel Giovanni, che io ho decapitato; esso è risuscitato da’ morti.	16 When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”
17 Perciocchè esso Erode avea mandato a prender Giovanni, e l’avea messo nei legami in prigione, a motivo di Erodiada, moglie di Filippo, suo fratello; perciocchè egli l’avea sposata,	17 For Herod himself had sent to capture John, and had chained him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.
18 e Giovanni avea detto ad Erode: Ei non ti è lecito di aver la moglie del tuo fratello.	18 For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 Ed Erodiada gliene avea mal talento; e volentieri l’avrebbe fatto morire, ma non poteva.	19 Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
20 Perciocchè Erode temeva Giovanni, conoscendolo uomo giusto, e santo; e l’osservava; ed avendolo udito, faceva molte cose, e volentieri l’udiva.	20 For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.
21 Ora, venuto un giorno opportuno, che Erode, nel giorno della sua natività, feceva un convito a’ suoi grandi, e capitani, ed a’ principali della Galilea;	21 And when an opportune time had arrived, Herod held a feast on his birthday, with the leaders, and the tribunes, and the first rulers of Galilee.
22 la figliuola di essa Erodiada entrò, e ballò, e piacque ad Erode, ed a coloro ch’erano con lui a tavola. E il re disse alla fanciulla: Domandami tutto ciò che vorrai, ed io tel donerò.	22 And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23 E le giurò, dicendo: Io ti donerò tutto ciò che mi chiederai, fino alla metà del mio regno.	23 And he swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.”
24 Ed essa uscì e disse a sua madre: Che chiederò? Ed ella disse: La testa di Giovanni Battista.	24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25 E subito rientrò frettolosamente al re, e gli fece la domanda, dicendo: Io desidero che subito tu mi dia in un piatto la testa di Giovanni Battista.	25 And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26 E benchè il re se ne attristasse grandemente, pur nondimeno per li giuramenti, e per rispetto di coloro ch’eran con lui a tavola, non gliel volle disdire.	26 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her.
27 E subito, mandato un sergente, comandò che fosse recata la testa di esso.	27 So, having sent an executioner, he instructed that his head be brought on a platter.
28 E quello andò e lo decapitò in prigione, e portò la sua testa in un piatto, e la diede alla fanciulla, e la fanciulla la diede a sua madre.	28 And he beheaded him in prison, and he brought his head on a platter. And he gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it her mother.
29 E i discepoli di esso, udito ciò, vennero e tolsero il suo corpo morto, e lo posero in un monumento	29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and they placed it in a tomb.
30 OR gli Apostoli si accolsero appresso di Gesù, e gli rapportarono ogni cosa, tutto ciò che avean fatto ed insegnato.	30 And the Apostles, returning to Jesus, reported to him everything that they had done and taught.
31 Ed egli disse loro: Venite voi in disparte, in qualche luogo solitario, e riposatevi un poco; perciocchè coloro che andavano e venivano erano in gran numero, talchè quelli non aveano pur agio di mangiare.	31 And he said to them, “Go out alone, into a deserted place, and rest for a little while.” For there were so many who were coming and going, that they did not even have time to eat.
32 E se ne andarono in su la navicella in un luogo solitario in disparte.	32 And climbing into a boat, they went away to a deserted place alone.
33 E la moltitudine li vide partire, e molti lo riconobbero; ed accorsero là a piè da tutte le città, e giunsero avanti loro, e si accolsero appresso di lui.	33 And they saw them going away, and many knew about it. And together they ran by foot from all the cities, and they arrived before them.
34 E Gesù smontato, vide una gran moltitudine, e si mosse a compassione inverso loro; perciocchè erano come pecore che non hanno pastore; e si mise ad insegnar loro molte cose.	34 And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude. And he took pity on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 Ed essendo già tardi, i suoi discepoli vennero a lui, e gli dissero: Questo luogo è deserto, e già è tardi.	35 And when many hours had now passed, his disciples drew near to him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late.
36 Licenzia questa gente, acciocchè vadano per le villate, e per le castella d’intorno, e si comperino del pane, perciocchè non hanno nulla da mangiare.	36 Send them away, so that by going out to nearby villages and towns, they might buy provisions for themselves to eat.”
37 Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Date lor voi da mangiare. Ed essi gli dissero: Andremmo noi a comperar per dugento denari di pane, e darem loro da mangiare?	37 And responding, he said to them, “Give them something to eat yourselves.” And they said to him, “Let us go out and buy bread for two hundred denarii, and then we will give them something to eat.”
38 Ed egli disse loro: Quanti pani avete? andate, e vedete. Ed essi, dopo essersene accertati, dissero: Cinque, e due pesci.	38 And he said to them: “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Ed egli comandò loro che il facesser tutti coricar sopra l’erba verde, per brigate.	39 And he instructed them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Ed essi si coricarono per cerchi, a cento, ed a cinquanta, per cerchio.	40 And they sat down in divisions by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Poi prese i cinque pani, e i due pesci, e levò gli occhi al cielo, e fece la benedizione; poi ruppe i pani, e li diede a’ suoi discepoli, acciocchè li mettessero davanti a loro: egli spartì eziandio i due pesci a tutti.	41 And having received the five loaves and the two fish, gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke the bread, and he gave it to his disciples to set before them. And the two fish he divided among them all.
42 E tutti mangiarono, e furon saziati.	42 And they all ate and were satisfied.
43 E i discepoli levaron de’ pezzi de’ pani dodici corbelli pieni, ed anche qualche rimanente de’ pesci.	43 And they brought together the remainder: twelve baskets full of fragments and of fish.
44 Or coloro che avean mangiato di que’ pani erano cinquemila uomini	44 Now those who ate were five thousand men.
45 E TOSTO appresso egli costrinse i suoi discepoli a montar nella navicella, ed a trarre innanzi a lui all’altra riva, verso Betsaida, mentre egli licenziava la moltitudine.	45 And without delay he urged his disciples to climb into the boat, so that they might precede him across the sea to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the people.
46 Poi, quando l’ebbe accommiatata, se ne andò in sul monte, per orare.	46 And when he had dismissed them, he went to the mountain to pray.
47 E, fattosi sera, la navicella era in mezzo del mare, ed egli era in terra tutto solo. E vide i discepoli che travagliavano nel vogare,	47 And when it was late, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 perciocchè il vento era loro contrario; e intorno alla quarta vigilia della notte, egli venne a loro, camminando sopra il mare; e voleva passar oltre a loro.	48 And seeing them struggling to row, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. And he intended to pass by them.
49 Ma essi, vedutolo camminar sopra il mare, pensarono che fosse una fantasima, e sclamarono. Perciocchè tutti lo videro, e furon turbati;	49 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
50 ma egli tosto parlò con loro, e disse: State di buon cuore, son io, non temiate.	50 For they all saw him, and they were very disturbed. And immediately he spoke with them, and he said to them: “Be strengthened in faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51 E montò a loro nella navicella, e il vento si acquetò; ed essi vie più sbigottirono in loro stessi, e si maravigliarono.	51 And he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they became even more astonished within themselves.
52 Perciocchè non aveano posto mente al fatto de’ pani; perciocchè il cuor loro era stupido.	52 For they did not understand about the bread. For their heart had been blinded.
53 E, passati all’altra riva, vennero nella contrada di Gennesaret, e presero terra.	53 And when they had crossed over, they arrived in the land of Genesaret, and they reached the shore.
54 E, quando furono smontati dalla navicella, subito la gente lo riconobbe.	54 And when they had disembarked from the boat, the people immediately recognized him.
55 E, correndo qua e là per tutta quella contrada circonvicina, prese a portare attorno in letticelli i malati, là dove udiva ch’egli fosse.	55 And running throughout that entire region, they began to carry on beds those who had maladies, to where they heard that he would be.
56 E dovunque egli entrava, in castella, o in città, o in villate, la gente metteva gl’infermi nelle piazze, e lo pregava che sol potessero toccare il lembo della sua vesta; e tutti quelli che lo toccavano erano guariti	56 And in whichever place he entered, in towns or villages or cities, they placed the infirm in the main streets, and they pleaded with him that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched him were made healthy.
