BIBBIA TINTORICATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Or mentre la gente si affollava intorno a lui per udir la parola di Dio, egli stava presso il lago di Genezaret.1 Now it happened that, when the crowds pressed toward him, so that they might hear the word of God, he was standing beside the lake of Genesaret.
2 E vide due barelle fermò alla riva del lago, essendone i pescatori scesi a lavar le reti.2 And he saw two boats standing beside the lake. But the fishermen had climbed down, and they were washing their nets.
3 Salito in una di quelle barche che era di Simone, lo pregò di scostarsi un po' da terra. E, sedutosi, dalla barca ammaestrava la folla.3 And so, climbing into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, he asked him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting down, he taught the crowds from the boat.
4 E come ebbe finito di parlare, disse a Simone: Prendi il largo, e calate le vostre reti per la pesca.4 Then, when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Lead us into deep water, and release your nets for a catch.”
5 Ma Simone gli rispose: Maestro, ci siam affaticati tutta la notte e non abbiamo preso niente: nonostante, sulla tua parola calerò le reti.5 And in response, Simon said to him: “Teacher, working throughout the night, we caught nothing. But on your word, I will release the net.”
6 E fatto così, presero tanta quantità di pesci che la rete loro si rompeva.6 And when they had done this, they enclosed such a copious multitude of fish that their net was rupturing.
7 Ed allora essi fecero segno ai compagni dell'altra barca di venirli ad aiutare. E, venuti quelli, riempirono tutte e due le barche da farle quasi affondare.7 And they signaled to their associates, who were in the other boat, so that they would come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they were nearly submerged.
8 Veduto questo Simon Pietro si gettò ai ginocchi di Gesù dicendo: Signore, allontanati da me, perchè sono uomo peccatore.8 But when Simon Peter had seen this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
9 In verità, egli e quelli che erano con lui rimasero storditi della presa dei pesci che avevano fatta.9 For astonishment had enveloped him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish that they had taken.
10 Così pure Giacomo e Giovanni, figli di Zebedeo, ch'eran soci di Simone. E Gesù disse a Simone: Non temere, d'ora innanzi tu sarai pescatore d'uomini.10 Now the same was true of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were associates of Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: “Do not be afraid. From now on, you will be catching men.”
11 Ed essi, tirate a riva le barche, abbandonata ogni cosa, lo seguirono.11 And having led their boats to land, leaving behind everything, they followed him.
12 Or avvenne che trovandosi lui in una di quelle città, un uomo coperto di lebbra, visto Gesù, si gettò bocconi per terra, e lo pregò dicendo: Signore, se vuoi, tu puoi mondarmi.12 And it happened that, while he was in a certain city, behold, there was a man full of leprosy who, upon seeing Jesus and falling to his face, petitioned him, saying: “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
13 Ed egli, stesa la mano, lo toccò dicendo: Sì, lo voglio, sii mondato. E subito la lebbra sparì da lui.13 And extending his hand, he touched him, saying: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” And at once, the leprosy departed from him.
14 E, comandatogli di non palesarlo a nessuno gli disse: Va', presentati al sacerdote, o fa l'offerta per la tua purificazione, secondo quello che ha prescritto Mosè, in testimonianza per essi.14 And he instructed him that he should tell no one, “But go, show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your cleansing, just as Moses has commanded, as a testimony for them.”
15 Intanto più che mai si spargeva la sua fama, e molte, genti accorrevano per udirlo e per essere guarite dai loro mali.15 Yet word of him traveled around all the more. And great crowds came together, so that they might listen and be cured by him from their infirmities.
16 Ma egli si ritirava in luoghi solitari e pregava.16 And he withdrew into the desert and prayed.
17 E avvenne un giorno che egli stava insegnando; o c'erano a sedere dei Farisei e dottori della legge, venuti da ogni paese della Galilea e di Giudea e da Gerusalemme; e la potenza del Signore era lì a sanarli.17 And it happened, on a certain day, that he again sat down, teaching. And there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting nearby, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present, to heal them.
18 Ed ecco degli uomini portar sopra un letticciuolo un paralitico, e cercavano di introdurlo per posarglielo davanti.18 And behold, some men were carrying in the bed of a man who was paralyzed. And they sought a way to bring him in, and to place him before him.
19 E non trovando da qual parte introdurlo a motivo della calca, salirono sul tetto, e, di fra i tegoli, lo calarono giù col letticciuolo, in mezzo, davanti a Gesù.19 And not finding a way by which they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they climbed up to the roof, and they let him down through the roof tiles with his bed, into their midst, in front of Jesus.
20 Egli, veduta la loro fede, disse: Uomo, ti son rimessi i tuoi peccati.20 And when he saw his faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
21 Allora gli Scribi e i Farisei cominciarono a pensare e dire: Chi è costui che pronuncia bestemmie? Chi può rimettere i peccati se non Dio solo?21 And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: “Who is this, who is speaking blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins, except God alone?”
22 Ma Gesù, conosciuti i loro pensieri, prese a dir loro: Che andate pensando nei vostri cuori?22 But when Jesus realized their thoughts, responding, he said to them: “What are you thinking in your hearts?
23 Cos'è più facile dire: Ti son rimessi i peccati, o dire: Levati su e cammina?23 Which is easier to say: ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk?’
24 Or affinché sappiate che il Figlio dell'uomo ha sulla terra il potere di rimettere i peccati, dico a te — disse ai paralitico — levati su, piglia il tuo lettocelo e vattene a casa tua.24 But so that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic, “I say to you to: Rise up, take up your bed, and go into your house.”
25 E quello, rizzatosi sull'atto, in presenza di loro, prese il suo giaciglio e se ne andò a casa, glorificando Dio.25 And at once, rising up in their sight, he took up the bed on which he was lying, and he went away to his own house, magnifying God.
26 E tutti, colmi di maraviglia, glorificavano Dio e, invasi dallo spavento, dicevano: Oggi abbiamo visto delle cose meravigliose.26 And astonishment took hold of everyone, and they were magnifying God. And they were filled with fear, saying: “For we have seen miracles today.”
27 E dopo questi fatti uscì e vide un pubblicano di nome Levi, che sedeva al banco della gabella, e disse: Seguimi;27 And after these things, he went out, and he saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the customs office. And he said to him, “Follow me.”
28 e quello, abbandonata ogni cosa, si alzò e lo seguì.28 And leaving behind everything, rising up, he followed him.
29 Poi Levi gli fece un gran banchetto in casa sua, e tra gli altri che erano a mensa con essi c'era gran folla di pubblicani.29 And Levi made a great feast for him in his own house. And there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others, who were sitting at table with them.
30 E i Farisei ed i loro Scribi ne mormoravano e dicevano ai discepoli di Gesù: Perchè mangiate e bevete coi pubblicani e i peccatori?30 But the Pharisees and scribes were murmuring, saying to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31 Ma Gesù rispose loro; Non han bisogno del medico i sani, ma gli ammalati.31 And responding, Jesus said to them: “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who have maladies.
32 Non son venuto a chiamare i giusti, ma i peccatori a penitenza.32 I have not come to call the just, but sinners to repentance.”
33 Ma quelli gli replicarono: Perchè, mentre 1 discepoli di Giovanni digiunano spesso e fan preghiera, come parimenti quelli dei Farisei, i tuoi mangiano e bevono?33 But they said to him, “Why do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make supplications, and those of the Pharisees act similarly, while yours eat and drink?”
34 E rispose loro: Potete forse far digiunare i compagni dello sposo mentre lo sposo è con essi?34 And he said to them: “How can you cause the sons of the groom to fast, while the groom is still with them?
35 verranno poi i giorni quando sarà loro tolto lo sposo; allora, in quei giorni digiuneranno.35 But the days will come when the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast, in those days.”
36 E portò loro un paragone: Nessuno taglia da un vestito nuovo una toppa per metterla su un vestito vecchio, perchè romperebbe il nuovo senza poter adattare il pozzo nuovo ai vecchio.36 Then he also made a comparison for them: “For no one sews a patch from a new garment onto an old garment. Otherwise, he both disrupts the new one, and the patch from the new one does not join together with the old one.
37 E nessuno mette vino nuovo in otri vecchi, perché il vino nuovo rompe gli otri e si versa, mentre gli otri vanno a male.37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine ruptures the wineskins, and it will be poured out, and the wineskins will be lost.
38 Ma il vino nuovo va messo in otri nuovi, per conservare così l'uno e gli altri.38 Instead, the new wine is put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.
39 E nessuno che beve vin vecchio desidera ad un tratto del nuovo; perchè dice: Il vecchio è migliore.39 And no one who is drinking the old, soon wishes for the new. For he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”
