Vangelo secondo Luca - Luke 8

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Και μετα ταυτα διηρχετο αυτος πασαν πολιν και κωμην, κηρυττων και ευαγγελιζομενος την βασιλειαν του Θεου, και οι δωδεκα ησαν μετ' αυτου,	1 Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve
2 και γυναικες τινες, αιτινες ησαν τεθεραπευμεναι απο πνευματων πονηρων και ασθενειων, Μαρια η καλουμενη Μαγδαληνη, εκ της οποιας ειχον εκβη επτα δαιμονια,	2 and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 και Ιωαννα η γυνη του Χουζα, επιτροπου του Ηρωδου, και Σουσαννα και αλλαι πολλαι, αιτινες διηκονουν αυτον απο των υπαρχοντων αυτων.	3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.
4 Επειδη δε συνετρεχεν οχλος πολυς και ηρχοντο προς αυτον απο πασης πολεως, ειπε δια παραβολης?	4 When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another journeying to him, he spoke in a parable.
5 Εξηλθεν ο σπειρων, δια να σπειρη τον σπορον αυτου. Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλο μεν επεσε παρα την οδον και κατεπατηθη, και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατεφαγον αυτο?	5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up.
6 αλλο δε επεσεν επι την πετραν και αναφυεν εξηρανθη, διοτι δεν ειχεν ικμαδα?	6 Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture.
7 και αλλο επεσεν εις το μεσον των ακανθων, και συμφυτρωσασαι αι ακανθαι απεπνιξαν αυτο?	7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 και αλλο επεσεν επι την γην την αγαθην, και αναφυεν εκαμε καρπον εκατονταπλασιονα. Ταυτα λεγων, εφωναζεν? Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.	8 And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
9 Ηρωτων δε αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Τι σημαινει η παραβολη αυτη;	9 Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be.
10 Ο δε ειπεν? Εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του Θεου, εις δε τους λοιπους δια παραβολων, δια να μη βλεπωσιν ενω βλεπουσι και να μη καταλαμβανωσιν ενω ακουουσιν.	10 He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that 'they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.'
11 Αυτη δε ειναι η παραβολη? Ο σπορος ειναι ο λογος του Θεου?	11 "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
12 οι δε σπειρομενοι παρα την οδον ειναι οι ακουοντες, επειτα ερχεται ο διαβολος και αφαιρει τον λογον απο της καρδιας αυτων, δια να μη πιστευσωσι και σωθωσιν.	12 Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Οι δε επι της πετρας ειναι εκεινοι οιτινες, οταν ακουσωσι, μετα χαρας δεχονται τον λογον, και ουτοι ριζαν δεν εχουσιν, οιτινες προς καιρον πιστευουσι και εν καιρω πειρασμου αποστατουσι.	13 Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of trial.
14 Το δε πεσον εις τας ακανθας, ουτοι ειναι εκεινοι οιτινες ηκουσαν, και υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων του βιου υπαγουσι και συμπνιγονται και δεν τελεσφορουσι.	14 As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit.
15 Το δε εις την καλην γην, ουτοι ειναι εκεινοι, οιτινες ακουσαντες τον λογον, κρατουσιν εν καρδια καλη και αγαθη και καρποφορουσιν εν υπομονη.	15 But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.
16 Ουδεις δε λυχνον αναψας, σκεπαζει αυτον με σκευος και θετει υποκατω κλινης, αλλα θετει επι του λυχνοστατου, δια να βλεπωσι το φως οι εισερχομενοι.	16 "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Διοτι δεν υπαρχει κρυπτον, το οποιον δεν θελει γεινει φανερον; ουδε αποκρυφον, το οποιον δεν θελει γεινει γνωστον και ελθει εις το φανερον.	17 For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 Προσεχετε λοιπον πως ακουετε? διοτι οστις εχει, θελει δοθη εις αυτον, και οστις δεν εχει, και εκεινο το οποιον νομιζει οτι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.	18 Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away."
19 Ηλθον δε προς αυτον η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου και δεν ηδυναντο δια τον οχλον να πλησιασωσιν αυτον.	19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd.
20 Και απηγγελθη προς αυτον υπο τινων λεγοντων? Η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου ιστανται εξω θελοντες να σε ιδωσιν.	20 He was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you."
21 Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Μητηρ μου και αδελφοι μου ειναι ουτοι, οι ακουοντες τον λογον του Θεου και πραττοντες αυτον.	21 He said to them in reply, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it."
22 Και εν μια των ημερων εισηλθεν εις πλοιον αυτος και οι μαθηται αυτου, και ειπε προς αυτους? Ας διελθωμεν εις το περαν της λιμνης? και εσηκωθησαν.	22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake." So they set sail,
23 Ενω δε επλεον, απεκοιμηθη. Και κατεβη ανεμοστροβιλος εις την λιμνην, και εγεμιζετο το πλοιον και εκινδυνευον.	23 and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger.
24 Προσελθοντες δε εξυπνησαν αυτον, λεγοντες? Επιστατα, Επιστατα, χανομεθα. Ο δε σηκωθεις επετιμησε τον ανεμον και την ταραχην του υδατος, και επαυσαν, και εγεινε γαληνη.	24 They came and woke him saying, "Master, master, we are perishing!" He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm.
25 Ειπε δε προς αυτους, που ειναι η πιστις σας; Και φοβηθεντες εθαυμασαν, λεγοντες προς αλληλους? Τις λοιπον ειναι ουτος, οτι και τους ανεμους προσταζει και το υδωρ, και υπακουουσιν εις αυτον;	25 Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, "Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"
26 Και κατεπλευσαν εις την χωραν των Γαδαρηνων, ητις ειναι αντιπεραν της Γαλιλαιας.	26 Then they sailed to the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Και καθως εξηλθεν επι την γην, υπηντησεν αυτον ανθρωπος τις εκ της πολεως, οστις ειχε δαιμονια απο χρονων πολλων, και ιματιον δεν ενεδυετο και εν οικια δεν εμενεν, αλλ' εν τοις μνημασιν.	27 When he came ashore a man from the town who was possessed by demons met him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; he did not live in a house, but lived among the tombs.
28 Ιδων δε τον Ιησουν, ανεκραξε και προσεπεσεν εις αυτον και μετα φωνης μεγαλης ειπε? Τι ειναι μεταξυ εμου και σου, Ιησου, Υιε του Θεου του Υψιστου; δεομαι σου, μη με βασανισης.	28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him; in a loud voice he shouted, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!"
29 Διοτι προσεταξεν εις το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον να εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου. Επειδη προ πολλων χρονων ειχε συναρπασει αυτον, και εδεσμευετο με αλυσεις και εφυλαττετο με ποδοδεσμα και διασπων τα δεσμα, εφερετο υπο του δαιμονος εις τας ερημους.	29 For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (It had taken hold of him many times, and he used to be bound with chains and shackles as a restraint, but he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)
30 Και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο Ιησους, λεγων? Τι ειναι το ονομα σου; Ο δε ειπε? Λεγεων? διοτι δαιμονια πολλα εισηλθον εις αυτον?	30 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.
31 και παρεκαλουν αυτον να μη προσταξη αυτα να απελθωσιν εις την αβυσσον.	31 And they pleaded with him not to order them to depart to the abyss.
32 Ητο δε εκει αγελη χοιρων πολλων βοσκομενων εν τω ορει? και παρεκαλουν αυτον να επιτρεψη εις αυτα να εισελθωσιν εις εκεινους? και επετρεψεν εις αυτα.	32 A herd of many swine was feeding there on the hillside, and they pleaded with him to allow them to enter those swine; and he let them.
33 Εξελθοντα δε τα δαιμονια απο του ανθρωπου, εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους, και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την λιμνην και απεπνιγη.	33 The demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 Ιδοντες δε οι βοσκοι το γενομενον εφυγον, και απελθοντες απηγγειλαν εις την πολιν και εις τους αγρους.	34 When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside.
35 Και εξηλθον δια να ιδωσι το γεγονος, και ηλθον προς τον Ιησουν και ευρον τον ανθρωπον, εκ του οποιου ειχον εξελθει τα δαιμονια, καθημενον παρα τους ποδας του Ιησου, ενδεδυμενον και σωφρονουντα? και εφοβηθησαν.	35 People came out to see what had happened and, when they approached Jesus, they discovered the man from whom the demons had come out sitting at his feet. He was clothed and in his right mind, and they were seized with fear.
36 Διηγηθησαν δε προς αυτους και οι ιδοντες πως εσωθη ο δαιμονιζομενος.	36 Those who witnessed it told them how the possessed man had been saved.
37 Και απαν το πληθος της περιχωρου των Γαδαρηνων παρεκαλεσαν αυτον να αναχωρηση απ' αυτων, διοτι κατειχοντο υπο μεγαλου φοβου, αυτος δε εμβας εις το πλοιον υπεστρεψεν.	37 The entire population of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them because they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.
38 Ο δε ανθρωπος, εκ του οποιου ειχον εξελθει τα δαιμονια, παρεκαλει αυτον να ηναι μετ' αυτου? ο Ιησους ομως απελυσεν αυτον, λεγων.	38 The man from whom the demons had come out begged to remain with him, but he sent him away, saying,
39 Επιστρεψον εις τον οικον σου και διηγου οσα εκαμεν εις σε ο Θεος? και ανεχωρησε κηρυττων καθ' ολην την πολιν οσα εκαμεν εις αυτον ο Ιησους.	39 "Return home and recount what God has done for you." The man went off and proclaimed throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.
40 Οτε δε υπεστρεψεν ο Ιησους, υπεδεχθη αυτον ο οχλος? διοτι παντες ησαν περιμενοντες αυτον.	40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Και ιδου, ηλθεν ανθρωπος ονομαζομενος Ιαειρος, οστις ητο αρχων της συναγωγης και πεσων εις τους ποδας του Ιησου, παρεκαλει αυτον να εισελθη εις τον οικον αυτου,	41 And a man named Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came forward. He fell at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house,
42 διοτι ειχε θυγατερα μονογενη ως ετων δωδεκα, και αυτη απεθνησκεν. Ενω δε επορευετο, οι οχλοι συνεθλιβον αυτον.	42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he went, the crowds almost crushed him.
43 Και γυνη τις εχουσα ρυσιν αιματος δωδεκα ετη, ητις δαπανησασα εις ιατρους ολον τον βιον αυτης δεν ηδυνηθη να θεραπευθη υπ' ουδενος,	43 And a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years, who (had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and) was unable to be cured by anyone,
44 πλησιασασα οπισθεν ηγγισε το ακρον του ιματιου αυτου, και παρευθυς εσταθη η ρυσις του αιματος αυτης.	44 came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους? Τις μου ηγγισε; και ενω ηρνουντο παντες, ειπεν ο Πετρος και οι μετ' αυτου? Επιστατα, οι οχλοι σε συμπιεζουσι και σε συνθλιβουσι, και λεγεις? Τις μου ηγγισεν;	45 Jesus then asked, "Who touched me?" While all were denying it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you."
46 Ο δε Ιησους ειπε? Μου ηγγισε τις? διοτι εγω ενοησα οτι εξηλθε δυναμις απ' εμου.	46 But Jesus said, "Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me."
47 Ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι δεν εκρυφθη, ηλθε τρεμουσα και προσπεσουσα εις αυτον, απηγγειλε προς αυτον ενωπιον παντος του λαου δια ποιαν αιτιαν ηγγισεν αυτον, και οτι παρευθυς ιατρευθη.	47 When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
48 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτην? Θαρρει, θυγατερ, η πιστις σου σε εσωσεν? υπαγε εις ειρηνην.	48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace."
49 Ενω δε ελαλει ετι, ερχεται τις παρα του αρχισυναγωγου, λεγων προς αυτον οτι απεθανεν η θυγατηρ σου? μη ενοχλει τον Διδασκαλον.	49 While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."
50 Ο δε Ιησους ακουσας απεκριθη προς αυτον, λεγων? Μη φοβου? μονον πιστευε, και θελει σωθη.	50 On hearing this, Jesus answered him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith and she will be saved."
51 Και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, δεν αφηκεν ουδενα να εισελθη ειμη τον Πετρον και Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην και τον πατερα της κορης και την μητερα.	51 When he arrived at the house he allowed no one to enter with him except Peter and John and James, and the child's father and mother.
52 Εκλαιον δε παντες και εθρηνουν αυτην. Ο δε ειπε? Μη κλαιετε? δεν απεθανεν, αλλα κοιμαται.	52 All were weeping and mourning for her, when he said, "Do not weep any longer, for she is not dead, but sleeping."
53 Και κατεγελων αυτον, εξευροντες οτι απεθανεν.	53 And they ridiculed him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Αλλ' αυτος εκβαλων εξω παντας και πιασας την χειρα αυτης, εφωναξε λεγων? Κορασιον, σηκωθητι.	54 But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Child, arise!"
55 Και υπεστρεψε το πνευμα αυτης, και ανεστη παρευθυς, και προσεταξε να δοθη εις αυτην να φαγη.	55 Her breath returned and she immediately arose. He then directed that she should be given something to eat.
56 Και εξεπλαγησαν οι γονεις αυτης. Ο δε παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους να μη ειπωσιν εις μηδενα το γεγονος.	56 Her parents were astounded, and he instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
