Vangelo secondo Matteo - Matthew 8

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Οτε δε κατεβη απο του ορους, ηκολουθησαν αυτον οχλοι πολλοι.	1 After he had come down from the mountain large crowds fol owed him.
2 Και ιδου, λεπρος ελθων προσεκυνει αυτον, λεγων? Κυριε, εαν θελης, δυνασαι να με καθαρισης.	2 Suddenly a man with a virulent skin-disease came up and bowed low in front of him, saying, 'Lord, ifyou are wil ing, you can cleanse me.'
3 Και εκτεινας την χειρα ο Ιησους ηγγισεν αυτον, λεγων? Θελω, καθαρισθητι. Και ευθυς εκαθαρισθη η λεπρα αυτου.	3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him saying, 'I am willing. Be cleansed.' And his skin-diseasewas cleansed at once.
4 Και λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Προσεχε μη ειπης τουτο εις μηδενα, αλλ' υπαγε, δειξον σεαυτον εις τον ιερεα και προσφερε το δωρον, το οποιον προσεταξεν ο Μωυσης δια μαρτυριαν εις αυτους.	4 Then Jesus said to him, 'Mind you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest and make theoffering prescribed by Moses, as evidence to them.'
5 Οτε δε εισηλθεν ο Ιησους εις Καπερναουμ, προσηλθε προς αυτον εκατονταρχος παρακαλων αυτον	5 When he went into Capernaum a centurion came up and pleaded with him.
6 και λεγων? Κυριε, ο δουλος μου κειται εν τη οικια παραλυτικος, δεινως βασανιζομενος.	6 'Sir,' he said, 'my servant is lying at home paralysed and in great pain.'
7 Και λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Εγω ελθων θελω θεραπευσει αυτον.	7 Jesus said to him, 'I wil come myself and cure him.'
8 Και αποκριθεις ο εκατονταρχος ειπε? Κυριε, δεν ειμαι αξιος να εισελθης υπο την στεγην μου? αλλα μονον ειπε λογον, και θελει ιατρευθη ο δουλος μου.	8 The centurion replied, 'Sir, I am not worthy to have you under my roof; just give the word and myservant will be cured.
9 Διοτι και εγω ειμαι ανθρωπος υπο εξουσιαν, εχων υπ' εμαυτον στρατιωτας, και λεγω προς τουτον, Υπαγε, και υπαγει, και προς αλλον, Ερχου, και ερχεται, και προς τον δουλον μου, Καμε τουτο, και καμνει.	9 For I am under authority myself and have soldiers under me; and I say to one man, "Go," and he goes;to another, "Come here," and he comes; to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.'
10 Ακουσας δε ο Ιησους εθαυμασε και ειπε προς τους ακολουθουντας? Αληθως σας λεγω, ουδε εν τω Ισραηλ ευρον τοσαυτην πιστιν.	10 When Jesus heard this he was astonished and said to those following him, 'In truth I tell you, in no onein Israel have I found faith as great as this.
11 Σας λεγω δε οτι πολλοι θελουσιν ελθει απο ανατολων και δυσμων και θελουσι καθησει μετα του Αβρααμ και Ισαακ και Ιακωβ εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων,	11 And I tel you that many will come from east and west and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacobat the feast in the kingdom of Heaven;
12 οι δε υιοι της βασιλειας θελουσιν εκβληθη εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον? εκει θελει εισθαι ο κλαυθμος και ο τριγμος των οδοντων.	12 but the children of the kingdom wil be thrown out into the darkness outside, where there wil beweeping and grinding of teeth.'
13 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους προς τον εκατονταρχον, Υπαγε, και ως επιστευσας, ας γεινη εις σε. Και ιατρευθη ο δουλος αυτου εν τη ωρα εκεινη.	13 And to the centurion Jesus said, 'Go back, then; let this be done for you, as your faith demands.' Andthe servant was cured at that moment.
14 Και ελθων ο Ιησους εις την οικιαν του Πετρου, ειδε την πενθεραν αυτου κατακοιτον και πασχουσαν πυρετον?	14 And going into Peter's house Jesus found Peter's mother-in-law in bed and feverish.
15 και επιασε την χειρα αυτης, και αφηκεν αυτην ο πυρετος, και εσηκωθη και υπηρετει αυτους.	15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him.
16 Και οτε εγεινεν εσπερα, εφεραν προς αυτον δαιμονιζομενους πολλους, και εξεβαλε τα πνευματα με λογον και παντας τους κακως εχοντας εθεραπευσε,	16 That evening they brought him many who were possessed by devils. He drove out the spirits with acommand and cured al who were sick.
17 δια να πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια Ησαιου του προφητου, λεγοντος? Αυτος τας ασθενειας ημων ελαβε και τας νοσους εβαστασεν.	17 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: He himself bore our sicknesses away andcarried our diseases.
18 Ιδων δε ο Ιησους πολλους οχλους περι εαυτον, προσεταξε να αναχωρησωσιν εις το περαν.	18 When Jesus saw the crowd al about him he gave orders to leave for the other side.
19 Και πλησιασας εις γραμματευς ειπε προς αυτον, Διδασκαλε, θελω σοι ακολουθησει οπου αν υπαγης.	19 One of the scribes then came up and said to him, 'Master, I wil fol ow you wherever you go.'
20 Και λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Αι αλωπεκες εχουσι φωλεας και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατοικιας, ο δε Υιος του ανθρωπου δεν εχει που να κλινη την κεφαλην.	20 Jesus said, 'Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere tolay his head.'
21 Αλλος δε εκ των μαθητων αυτου ειπε προς αυτον? Κυριε, συγχωρησον μοι να υπαγω πρωτον και να θαψω τον πατερα μου.	21 Another man, one of the disciples, said to him, 'Lord, let me go and bury my father first.'
22 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Ακολουθει μοι και αφες τους νεκρους να θαψωσι τους εαυτων νεκρους.	22 But Jesus said, 'Fol ow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.'
23 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις το πλοιον, ηκολουθησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου.	23 Then he got into the boat fol owed by his disciples.
24 Και ιδου, τρικυμια μεγαλη εγεινεν εν τη θαλασση, ωστε το πλοιον εσκεπαζετο υπο των κυματων? αυτος δε εκοιματο.	24 Suddenly a storm broke over the lake, so violent that the boat was being swamped by the waves. Buthe was asleep.
25 Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου εξυπνισαν αυτον, λεγοντες? Κυριε, σωσον ημας, χανομεθα.	25 So they went to him and woke him saying, 'Save us, Lord, we are lost!'
26 Και λεγει προς αυτους? Δια τι εισθε δειλοι, ολιγοπιστοι; Τοτε σηκωθεις επετιμησε τους ανεμους και την θαλασσαν, και εγεινε γαληνη μεγαλη.	26 And he said to them, 'Why are you so frightened, you who have so little faith?' And then he stood upand rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 Οι δε ανθρωποι εθαυμασαν, λεγοντες? Οποιος ειναι ουτος, οτι και οι ανεμοι και η θαλασσα υπακουουσιν εις αυτον;	27 They were astounded and said, 'Whatever kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obeyhim?'
28 Και οτε ηλθεν εις το περαν εις την χωραν των Γεργεσηνων, υπηντησαν αυτον δυο δαιμονιζομενοι εξερχομενοι εκ των μνημειων, αγριοι καθ' υπερβολην, ωστε ουδεις ηδυνατο να περαση δια της οδου εκεινης.	28 When he reached the territory of the Gadarenes on the other side, two demoniacs came towards himout of the tombs -- they were so dangerously violent that nobody could use that path.
29 Και ιδου, εκραξαν λεγοντες? Τι ειναι μεταξυ ημων και σου, Ιησου, Υιε του Θεου; ηλθες εδω προ καιρου να μας βασανισης;	29 Suddenly they shouted, 'What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture usbefore the time?'
30 Ητο δε μακραν απ' αυτων αγελη χοιρων πολλων βοσκομενη.	30 Now some distance away there was a large herd of pigs feeding,
31 Και οι δαιμονες παρεκαλουν αυτον, λεγοντες? Εαν μας εκβαλης, επιτρεψον εις ημας να απελθωμεν εις την αγελην των χοιρων.	31 and the devils pleaded with Jesus, 'If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.'
32 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Υπαγετε. Και εκεινοι εξελθοντες υπηγαν εις την αγελην των χοιρων? και ιδου, ωρμησε πασα η αγελη των χοιρων κατα του κρημνου εις την θαλασσαν και απεθανον εν τοις υδασιν.	32 And he said to them, 'Go then,' and they came out and made for the pigs; and at that the whole herdcharged down the cliff into the lake and perished in the water.
33 Οι δε βοσκοντες εφυγον και ελθοντες εις την πολιν, απηγγειλαν παντα και τα των δαιμονιζομενων.	33 The herdsmen ran off and made for the city, where they told the whole story, including what hadhappened to the demoniacs.
34 Και ιδου, πασα η πολις εξηλθεν εις συναντησιν του Ιησου, και ιδοντες αυτον παρεκαλεσαν να μεταβη απο των οριων αυτων.	34 Suddenly the whole city set out to meet Jesus; and as soon as they saw him they implored him toleave their neighbourhood.
