Vangelo secondo Luca 8

BIBBIA MARTINI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 E in appresso Gesù andava per le città, e pe' castelli, predicando, e annunziando il regno di Dio: ed (eran) con lui i dodici.	1 And it happened afterwards that he was making a journey through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 E alcune donne, le quali erano state liberate da spiriti maligni, e da malattie: Maria soprannominata Maddalena, dalla quale erano usciti sette demonj,	2 along with certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had departed,
3 E Giovanna moglie di Chusa proccuratore di Erode, e Susanna, e altre molte, le quali lo assistevano con le loro sostanze.	3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many other women, who were ministering to him from their resources.
4 E radunandosi grandissima turba di popolo, e accorrendo a lui da questa, e da quella città, disse questa parabola.	4 Then, when a very numerous crowd was gathering together and hurrying from the cities to him, he spoke using a comparison:
5 Andò il seminatore a seminare la sua semenza: e nel seminarla parte cadde lungo la strada, e fu calpestata, e gli uccelli dell'aria la divorarono.	5 “The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell beside the way; and it was trampled and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Parte cadde sopra le pietre: e nata che fu, seccò, perché non aveva umido.	6 And some fell upon rock; and having sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Parte cadde tra le spine, e le spine, che insieme nacquero, la soffogarono.	7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns, rising up with it, suffocated it.
8 Parte cadde in buona terra: e nacque, e fruttò cento per uno. Detto questo, esclamò: Chi ha orecchie da intendere, intenda.	8 And some fell upon good soil; and having sprung up, it produced fruit one hundredfold.” As he said these things, he cried out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 E i suoi discepoli gli domandavano, che parabola fosse questa.	9 Then his disciples questioned him as to what this parable might mean.
10 A' quali egli disse: A voi è concesso d'intendere il mistero del regno di Dio; ma a tutti gli altri (parlo) per via di parabole: perché vedendo non veggano, e udendo non intendano.	10 And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.
11 La parabola adunque è questa: La semenza è la parola di Dio,	11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Quelli, che (sono) lungo la strada, sono coloro, che la ascoltano: e poi viene il Diavolo, e porta via la parola dal loro cuore, perché non si salvino col credere.	12 And those beside the way are those who hear it, but then the devil comes and takes the word from their heart, lest by believing it they may be saved.
13 Quelli poi, che la semenza han ricevuta sopra la pietra: (sono) coloro, i quali udita la parola, la accolgono con allegrezza: ma questi non hanno radice: i quali credono per un tempo, e al tempo della tentazione si tirano indietro.	13 Now those upon rock are those who, when they hear it, accept the word with joy, but these have no roots. So they believe for a time, but in a time of testing, they fall away.
14 La semenza caduta tra le spine dinota coloro, i quali hanno ascoltato, ma dalle sollecitudini, e dalle ricchezze, e dai piaceri della vita a lungo andare restano soffogati, e non conducono il frutto a maturità.	14 And those which fell among thorns are those who have heard it, but as they go along, they are suffocated by the concerns and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they do not yield fruit.
15 Quella, che (cade) in buona terra, dinota coloro, i quali in un cuore buono, e perfetto ritengono la parola ascoltata, e portano frutto mediante la pazienza.	15 But those which were on good soil are those who, upon hearing the word with a good and noble heart, retain it, and they bring forth fruit in patience.
16 Nessuno poi avendo accesa la lucerna la cuopre con un vaso, o la ripone sotto il letto; ma la mette sopra il candelliere, perché chi entra, vegga lume.	16 Now no one, lighting a candle, covers it with a container, or sets it under a bed. Instead, he places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Imperocché niente v' ha di occulto, che non debba manifestarsi: e niente di nascosto, che non debba risapersi, e propalarsi.	17 For there is nothing secret, which will not be made clear, nor is there anything hidden, which will not be known and be brought into plain sight.
18 Badate dunque, in qual modo voi ascoltiate; imperocché a colui, che ha, sarà dato: e a chiunque non ha, sarà tolto anche quello, che egli si crede di avere.	18 Therefore, take care how you listen. For whoever has, it will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 E andarono a trovarlo la madre sua, e i suoi fratelli, e non potevano accostarsi a lui a motivo della folla.	19 Then his mother and brothers came to him; but they were not able to go to him because of the crowd.
20 E fu riferito a lui: La tua madre, e i tuoi fratelli son là fuori, e bramano di vederti.	20 And it was reported to him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Ed egli rispose, e disse loro: Mia madre, e miei fratelli sono questi, i quali ascoltano la parola di Dio, e la mettono in pratica.	21 And in response, he said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 E accadde, che un giorno montò co' suoi discepoli in una barchetta, e disse loro: Passiamo all'altra riva del lago. E sciolser dal lido.	22 Now it happened, on a certain day, that he climbed into a little boat with his disciples. And he said to them, “Let us make a crossing over the lake.” And they embarked.
23 E mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò, e un turbine di vento si mise nel lago, e facevan acqua, ed erano in pericolo.	23 And as they were sailing, he slept. And a windstorm descended over the lake. And they were taking on water and were in danger.
24 E appressatisi a lui, lo svegliarono, dicendo: Maestro, noi periamo. Ma egli alzatosi, sgridò il vento, e i flutti, e si quietarono: e fecesi bonaccia.	24 Then, drawing near, they awakened him, saying, “Teacher, we are perishing.” But as he rose up, he rebuked the wind and the raging water, and they ceased. And a tranquility occurred.
25 E disse loro: Dov' è la vostra fede? Ed eglino timorosi facevan le meraviglie, e l'uno all'altro dicevano: Chi mai o costui, che comanda al vento, e al mare, e lo ubbidiscono?	25 Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they, being afraid, were amazed, saying to one another, “Who do you think this is, so that he commands both wind and sea, and they obey him?”
26 E tragittarono nel paese de' Geraseni, che sta dirimpetto alla Galilea.	26 And they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 E sceso ch'ei fu a terra, gli si fece incontro un uomo, il quale da gran tempo aveva il Demonio, e non portava vestito addosso, e non abitava per le case, ma ne' sepolcri.	27 And when he had gone out to the land, a certain man met him, who had now had a demon for a long time. And he did not wear clothes, nor did he stay in a house, but among the sepulchers.
28 Questi subito che vide Gesù, si prostrò davanti a lui: e gridando ad alta voce, disse: Che ho io a fare con te, Gesù figlio di Dio Altissimo. Ti supplico a non tormentarmi.	28 And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out in a loud voice, he said: “What is there between me and you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me.”
29 Imperocché egli comandava allo spirito immondo di uscire da colui. Conciossiachè da molto tempo lo aveva invaso, ed era legato con catene, e custodito ne' ceppi: ma egli spezzati i legami veniva spinto dal Demonio pe' deserti.	29 For he was ordering the unclean spirit to depart from the man. For on many occasions, it would seize him, and he was bound with chains and held by fetters. But breaking the chains, he was driven by the demon into deserted places.
30 E Gesù lo interrogò dicendo: Che nome è il tuo? E quegli rispose: Legione, imperocché molti demonj erano entrati in lui.	30 Then Jesus questioned him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him.
31 E lo pregarono, che non comandasse loro di andare nell'abisso.	31 And they petitioned him not to order them to go into the abyss.
32 Ed era quivi un numeroso gregge di porci, che pascevano sul monte: e (i demonj) lo pregavano, che permettesse di entrare in essi. E glielo permise.	32 And in that place, there was a herd of many swine, pasturing on the mountain. And they petitioned him to permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them.
33 Uscirono adunque i demonj dall'uomo, ed entrarono ne' porci: e il gregge con furia si rovesciò dal precipizio nel lago, e si annegò.	33 Therefore, the demons departed from the man, and they entered into the swine. And the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the lake, and they were drowned.
34 La qual cosa veduta che ebbero i guardiani, si fuggirono, e ne portarono la nuova in città, e pe' villaggi.	34 And when those who were pasturing them had seen this, they fled and reported it in the city and the villages.
35 Usci pertanto la gente a vedere quel, che era stato, e arrivarono da Gesù: e trovarono colui, dal quale' erano usciti i demonj, rivestito, e di mente sana, sedente a' piedi di lui, e si intimorirono.	35 Then they went out to see what was happening, and they came to Jesus. And they found the man, from whom the demons had departed, sitting at his feet, clothed as well as in a sane mind, and they were afraid.
36 E raccontarono loro anche quelli, che avevano veduto, in qual modo fosse stato liberato dalla legione.	36 Then those who had seen this also reported to them how he had been healed from the legion.
37 E tutto il popolo del paese de' Geraseni lo pregò, che si ritirasse da loro: perché erano presi da gran timore. Ed egli montato in barca ritornò indietro.	37 And the entire multitude from the region of the Gerasenes pleaded with him to depart from them. For they were seized by a great fear. Then, climbing into the boat, he went back again.
38 E quell'uomo, dal quale erano usciti i demonj, si raccomandava per istare con lui. Ma Gesù lo rimandò, dicendogli:	38 And the man from whom the demons had departed pleaded with him, so that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 Torna a casa tua, e racconta, quanto ha fatto Dio per te. E quegli andò per tutta la città, pubblicando,quanto grandi cose aveva Gesù fatto per lui.	39 “Return to your house and explain to them what great things God has done for you.” And he traveled through the entire city, preaching about the great things that Jesus had done for him.
40 E avvenne, che al suo ritorno Gesù fu accolto da una turba di popolo: attesoché era aspettato da tutti.	40 Now it happened that, when Jesus had returned, the crowd received him. For they were all waiting for him.
41 Quand'ecco venne un uomo chiamato Giairo, il quale era anche capo della sinagoga: e gittossi a' piedi di Gesù, supplicandolo, che andasse a casa sua.	41 And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was a leader of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, asking him to enter into his house.
42 Perché aveva una figlia unica di età di circa dodici anni, e questa si moriva. E accadde, che in andando egli era pigiato dalla folla.	42 For he had an only daughter, nearly twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened that, as he was going there, he was hemmed in by the crowd.
43 E una donna, la quale da dodici anni pativa di flusso di sangue, e aveva speso in medici tutto il suo, né da alcuno aveva potuto essere risanata,	43 And there was a certain woman, with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had paid out all her substance on physicians, and she was unable to be cured by any of them.
44 Si accostò a lui per di dietro, e toccò l'orlo della sua veste: e immantinente il flusso del suo sangue stagnò.	44 She approached him from behind, and she touched the hem of his garment. And at once the flow of her blood stopped.
45 E Gesù disse: Chi è, che mi ha toccato? E tutti dicendo di no, Pietro, e i suoi compagni gli dissero: Maestro, le turbe ti serrano, e ti pestano, e tu domandi: Chi mi ha toccato?	45 And Jesus said, “Who is it that touched me?” But as everyone was denying it, Peter, and those who were with him, said: “Teacher, the crowd hems you in and presses upon you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
46 E Gesù disse: Qualcheduno mi ha toccato; imperocché mi sono accorto, che è uscita da me virtù.	46 And Jesus said: “Someone has touched me. For I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Ma la donna veggendosi scoperta, andò tremante a gettarsi a' suoi piedi: e manifestò dinanzi a tutto il popolo il perché l'aveva toccato: e come era subitamente restata sana.	47 Then the woman, upon seeing that she was not hidden, came forward, trembling, and she fell down before his feet. And she declared before all the people the reason that she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
48 Ed egli le disse: Figlia, la tua fede ti ha salvata: va in pace.	48 But he said to her: “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
49 Non aveva finito di dire, quando venne uno a dire al principe della sinagoga: La tua figliuola è morta, non lo incomodare.	49 While he was still speaking, someone came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble him.”
50 Ma Gesù, udite queste parole, disse al padre della fanciulla: Non temere, soltanto credi, e sarà salva.	50 Then Jesus, upon hearing this word, replied to the father of the girl: “Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be saved.”
51 E giunto alla casa, non lasciò entrare nessuno con seco, fuori che Pietro, e Giacomo, e Giovanni, e il padre, e la madre della fanciulla.	51 And when he had arrived at the house, he would not permit anyone to enter with him, except Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the girl.
52 E tutti piangevano, e si picchiavano il petto per causa di lei. Ma egli disse: Non piangete, la fanciulla non è morta, ma dorme.	52 Now all were weeping and mourning for her. But he said: “Do not weep. The girl is not dead, but only sleeping.”
53 E si burlavano di lui sapendo, che era morta.	53 And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 Ma egli presala per mano alzò la voce, e disse: Fanciulla, alzati.	54 But he, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying, “Little girl, arise.”
55 E ritornò in essa lo spirito, e immediatamente si alzò. Ed egli ordinò, che le fosse dato da mangiare.	55 And her spirit returned, and she immediately rose up. And he ordered them to give her something to eat.
56 E i genitori di essa rimasero stupefatti, ed egli comandò loro di non dire a nessuno quel, che era stato.	56 And her parents were stupefied. And he instructed them not to tell anyone what had happened.
