BIBBIA TINTORICATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Or Gesù, chiamati i dodici, diede loro potere ed autorità su tutti i demoni e di guarire le malattie.1 Then calling together the twelve Apostles, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
2 E li mandò a predicare il regno di Dio e a guarire gli infermi.2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the infirm.
3 E disse loro: Non prendete niente per viaggio, nè bastone, nè bisaccia, nè pane, nè danaro, nè vogliate avere due tuniche.3 And he said to them: “You should take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor traveling bag, nor bread, nor money; and you should not have two tunics.
4 E in qualunque casa voi sarete entrati, restateci e non ne partite.4 And into whatever house you shall enter, lodge there, and do not move away from there.
5 E se alcuni non vi ricevono, uscendo da quella città, scotete anche la polvere dai vostri piedi in testimonianza contro di loro.5 And whoever will not have received you, upon departing from that city, shake off even the dust on your feet, as a testimony against them.”
6 Ed essi, partitisi, girarono per i paesi annunziando la buona novella e facendo ovunque guarigioni.6 And going forth, they traveled around, through the towns, evangelizing and curing everywhere.
7 Or giunse all'orecchio di Erode quanto era operato da Gesù, e ne stava perplesso, perchè alcuni dicevano:7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all the things that were being done by him, but he doubted, because it was said
8 E' Giovanni risuscitato dai morti. Altri poi: E' comparso Elia. Ed altri: E' sorto uno dei profeti di un tempo.8 by some, “For John has risen from the dead,” yet truly, by others, “For Elijah has appeared,” and by still others, “For one of the prophets from of old has risen again.”
9 Erode però diceva: Giovanni l'ho fatto decapitare io. Chi è dunque costui del quale sento dire tali cose? E cercava di vederlo.9 And Herod said: “I beheaded John. So then, who is this, about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.
10 Or gli Apostoli, ritornati, raccontarono a Gesù quanto avevano fatto: ed egli, presili seco, si ritirò in disparte, in luogo deserto del territorio di Betsaida.10 And when the Apostles returned, they explained to him all the things that they had done. And taking them with him, he withdrew to a deserted place apart, which belongs to Bethsaida.
11 Ma, saputolo, le turbe gli tennero dietro. Ed egli, accoltele, parlava loro del regno di Dio e risanava quanti avessero bisogno di guarigione.11 But when the crowd had realized this, they followed him. And he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God. And those who were in need of cures, he healed.
12 Ma il giorno cominciava a declinare. E i dodici, accostatisi, gli dissero: Licenzia il popolo, affinchè vada per i villaggi e per le campagne vicine a trovare alloggio e da mangiare; perchè qui siamo in un luogo deserto.12 Then the day began to decline. And drawing near, the twelve said to him: “Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the surrounding towns and villages, they may separate and find food. For we are here in a deserted place.”
13 Ma egli rispose loro: Dategli da mangiare voi. Ed essi a lui: Non abbiamo che cinque pani e due pesci; e pur non andiamo noi a comprar dei cibi per tutta questa gente.13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said, “There is with us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we are to go and buy food for this entire multitude.”
14 Eran quasi cinque mila uomini. Ed egli disse ai suoi discepoli: Fateli sedere a brigate di cinquanta.14 Now there were about five thousand men. So he said to his disciples, “Have them recline to eat in groups of fifty.”
15 E così fecero mettere a seder tutti.15 And they did so. And they caused them all to recline to eat.
16 Allora prese i cinque pani e i due pesci, e, alzati gli occhi al cielo, li benedisse e spezzò, e li diede ai discepoli perchè li ponessero davanti alla gente.16 Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, he gazed up to heaven, and he blessed and broke and distributed them to his disciples, in order to set them before the crowd.
17 E tutti mangiarono e si saziarono. E fu portato via ciò che avanzò, dodici panieri.17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And twelve baskets of fragments were taken up, which were left over from them.
18 Avvenne poi che, mentre egli solo stava a pregare, ed i discepoli cran con lui, domandò loro: Chi dice la gente ch'io sia?18 And it happened that, when he was praying alone, his disciples also were with him, and he questioned them, saying: “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 E quelli risposero: Alcuni Giovanni Battista, altri Elia, altri poi uno degli antichi profeti risorto.19 But they answered by saying: “John the Baptist. But some say Elijah. Yet truly, others say that one of the prophets from before has risen again.”
20 E domandò loro: E voi chi dite ch'io sia? Simon Pietro rispose: Il Cristo di Dio.20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” In response, Simon Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
21 Ma Gesù intimò loro severamente di non dirlo ad alcuno,21 But speaking sharply to them, he instructed them not to tell this to anyone,
22 aggiungendo: È necessario che il Figlio dell'uomo soffra molto e sia riprovato dagli anziani, dai principi dei sacerdoti e dagli Scribi, e sia ucciso e risusciti il terzo giorno.22 saying, “For the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the leaders of the priests and the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise again.”
23 Diceva poi a tutti: Se uno vuol tenermi dietro, rinneghi se stesso, prenda ogni giorno la sua croce e mi segua.23 Then he said to everyone: “If anyone is willing to come after me: let him deny himself, and take up his cross every day, and follow me.
24 Chi infatti vorrà salvare la sua vita la perderà; e chi avrà perduto la sua vita per me la salverà.24 For whoever will have saved his life, will lose it. Yet whoever will have lost his life for my sake, will save it.
25 E che giova alluomo guadagnare tutto il mondo se perde o rovina se stesso?25 For how does it benefit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, yet lose himself, or cause himself harm?
26 Se uno ha vergogna di me e delle mie parole, di lui il Figlio dell'uomo si vergognerà, quando verrà nella gloria sua e del Padre e dei santi angeli.26 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words: of him the Son of man will be ashamed, when he will have arrived in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy Angels.
27 Or vi dico in verità, che ci sono alcuni qui presenti i quali non gusteranno la morte finché non vedano regno di Dio.27 And yet, I tell you a truth: There are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God.”
28 Or avvenne die circa otto giorni dopo questi ragionamenti prese con sè Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni, e salì sopra un monte a pregare.28 And it happened that, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and James and John, and he ascended onto a mountain, so that he might pray.
29 E mentre pregava il suo volto fu trasfigurato, e la sua veste divenne candida e risplendente.29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his vestment became white and shining.
30 Ed ecco due uomini conversar con lui; ed erano Mose ed Elia,30 And behold, two men were talking with him. And these were Moses and Elijah, appearing in majesty.
31 i quali apparsi in gloria, parlavan della dipartita che egli stava per compiere in Gerusalemme.31 And they spoke of his departure, which he would accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 Intanto Pietro ed i suoi compagni eran presi da sonno. E, svegliatisi, videro la sua gloria e i due personaggi che stavano con lui.32 Yet truly, Peter and those who were with him were weighed down by sleep. And becoming alert, they saw his majesty and the two men who were standing with him.
33 E mentre quelli si partivano da luì, Pietro disse a Gesù: Maestro, è un piacere per noi lo stare qui; or facciamo tre tende: una per te, una per Mose ed una per Elia. Ma con sapeva quel che dicesse.33 And it happened that, as these were departing from him, Peter said to Jesus: “Teacher, it is good for us to be here. And so, let us make three tabernacles: one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what he was saying.
34 Mentre però egli parlava si levò una nube che li avvolse; ed essi furono spaventati quando quelli entrarono nella nube.34 Then, as he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And as these were entering into the cloud, they were afraid.
35 E dalla nube uscì una voce che disse: Questo è il mio Figlio diletto: ascoltatelo:35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.”
36 E mentre la voce ancor risonava, Gesù rimase solo. Ed essi tacquero ed in quei giorni non parlarono a nessuno di quanto avevan visto.36 And while the voice was being uttered, Jesus was found to be alone. And they were silent and told no one, in those days, any of these things, which they had seen.
37 Or avvenne che, essendo il giorno seguente sceso dal monte, si fece loro incontro gran gente.37 But it happened on the following day that, as they were descending from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38 Ed ecco un uomo della folla gridare: Maestro, te ne prego, volgi lo sguardo a mio figlio, l'unico mio.38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you, look kindly on my son, for he is my only son.
39 Ed ecco uno spirito lo invade, e lo fa subito urlare e lo getta a terra e lo malmena e lo fa spumare, e a stento se ne parte da lui, dilaniatolo tutto;39 And behold, a spirit takes hold of him, and he suddenly cries out, and it throws him down and convulses him, so that he foams. And though it tears him apart, it leaves him only with difficulty.
40 ed ho pregato i tuoi discepoli a scacciarlo ma non han potuto.40 And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they were unable.”
41 E Gesù rispose: O generazione incredula e perversa, fino a quando dovrò stare con voi e sopportarvi? Conducimi qua il tuo figliolo.41 And in response, Jesus said: “O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”
42 E mentre s'avvicinava, il demonio lo gettò per terra, straziandolo.42 And as he was approaching him, the demon threw him down and convulsed him.
43 Ma Gesù sgridò lo spirito immondo e, guarito il fanciullo, lo rese a suo padre.43 And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and he healed the boy, and he restored him to his father.
44 E tutti stupirono della grandezza di Dio. Or mentre tutti si maravigliavano di tutte le cose che Gesù faceva, egli disse ai suoi discepoli: Ascoltate attentamente quel che vi dico: Il Figlio dell'uomo sta per essere dato nelle mani degli uomini.44 And all were astonished at the greatness of God. And as everyone was wondering over all that he was doing, he said to his disciples: “You must set these words in your hearts. For it shall be that the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.”
45 Ma essi non capivano questo discorso, ed era per loro così oscuro da non poterlo comprendere, e non osavano interrogarlo riguardo a queste parole.45 But they did not understood this word, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to question him about this word.
46 Poi sorse in loro questo pensiero: chi di essi fosse il più grande.46 Now an idea entered into them, as to which of them was greater.
47 Ma Gesù, conosciuto il pensiero del loro cuore, prese un fanciullo, se lo pose accanto47 But Jesus, perceiving the thoughts of their hearts, took a child and stood him beside him.
48 e disse loro: Chi accoglierà questo fanciullo in nome mio, accoglie me, e chi accoglie me, accoglie colui che mi ha mandato: perciò chi è il più piccolo fra tutti voi, quello è il più grande.48 And he said to them: “Whoever will receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the lesser among you all, the same is greater.”
49 Or Giovanni preso a dirgli: Maestro, abbiamo visto un tale, che in nome tuo cacciava i demoni, e glielo abbiamo proibito, perchè non è dei nostri.49 And responding, John said: “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in your name. And we prohibited him, for he does not follow with us.”
50 E Gesù gli rispose: Non glielo proibite, perchè chi non è contro di voi è per voi.50 And Jesus said to him: “Do not prohibit him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.”
51 Or avvenne che compiendosi i giorni della sua assunzione, si mostrò risoluto di andare a Gerusalemme.51 Now it happened that, while the days of his dissipation were being completed, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52 E mandò avanti a sè dei messi che, avviatisi, entrarono in un paese di Samaritani a preparare per lui.52 And he sent messengers before his face. And going on, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53 Ma quelli non vollero riceverlo, perchè mostrava di andar a Gerusalemme.53 And they would not receive him, because his face was going toward Jerusalem.
54 E Giacomo e Giovanni suoi discepoli, visto ciò dissero: Signore, vuoi che diciamo al, fuoco di discendere dai cielo e consumarli?54 And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to call for fire to descend from heaven and consume them?”
55 Ma egli, rivoltosi, li sgridò dicendo: Non sapete di quale spirito siete.55 And turning, he rebuked them, saying: “Do you not know of whose spirit you are?
56 Il Figlio dell'uomo non è venuto a perdere le anime, ma a salvarle. E andarono in altro villaggio.56 The Son of man came, not to destroy lives, but to save them.” And they went into another town.
57 Or avvenne che mentre facevan la loro via, un certo gii disse: Verrò con te, dovunque tu vada.57 And it happened that, as they were walking along the way, someone said to him, “I will follow you, wherever you will go.”
58 E Gesù gli rispose: Le volpi hanno delle tane e gli uccelli dell'aria dei nidi; ma il Figlio dell'uomo non ha dove posare il capo.58 Jesus said to him: “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests. But the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.”
59 Disse poi ad un altro: Seguimi. Quello rispose: Signore, permettimi di andare prima a seppellire mio padre.59 Then he said to another, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 Ma Gesù gli disse: Lascia che i morti seppelliscano i loro morti, ma tu va' ad annunziare il regno di Dio.60 And Jesus said to him: “Let the dead bury their dead. But you go and announce the kingdom of God.”
61 E un altro disse: Signore, ti seguirò, ma permettimi prima di accomiatarmi da quei di casa.61 And another said: “I will follow you, Lord. But permit me first to explain this to those of my house.”
62 E Gesù risposegli: Nessuno che, messa la mano all'aratro, volga indietro lo sguardo, è adatto per il regno di Dio.62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow, and then looks back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
