Marcus 2

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,	1 When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, it became known that he was at home.
2 et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum.	2 Many gathered together so that there was no longer room for them, not even around the door, and he preached the word to them.
3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur.	3 They came bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men.
4 Et cum non possent offerre eum illi præ turba, nudaverunt tectum ubi erat : et patefacientes submiserunt grabatum in quo paralyticus jacebat.	4 Unable to get near Jesus because of the crowd, they opened up the roof above him. After they had broken through, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
5 Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico : Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.	5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."
6 Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis :	6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there asking themselves,
7 Quid hic sic loquitur ? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus ?	7 "Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming. Who but God alone can forgive sins?"
8 Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis : Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris ?	8 Jesus immediately knew in his mind what they were thinking to themselves, so he said, "Why are you thinking such things in your hearts?
9 Quid est facilius dicere paralytico : Dimittuntur tibi peccata : an dicere : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula ?	9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, pick up your mat and walk'?
10 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),	10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth"--
11 tibi dico : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et vade in domum tuam.	11 he said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, pick up your mat, and go home."
12 Et statim surrexit ille : et, sublato grabato, abiit coram omnibus, ita ut mirarentur omnes, et honorificent Deum, dicentes : Quia numquam sic vidimus.	12 He rose, picked up his mat at once, and went away in the sight of everyone. They were all astounded and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this."
13 Et egressus est rursus ad mare, omnisque turba veniebat ad eum, et docebat eos.	13 Once again he went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them.
14 Et cum præteriret, vidit Levi Alphæi sedentem ad telonium, et ait illi : Sequere me. Et surgens secutus est eum.	14 As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.
15 Et factum est, cum accumberet in domo illius, multi publicani et peccatores simul discumbebant cum Jesu et discipulis ejus : erant enim multi, qui et sequebantur eum.	15 While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.
16 Et scribæ et pharisæi videntes quia manducaret cum publicanis et peccatoribus, dicebant discipulis ejus : Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat et bibit Magister vester ?	16 Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
17 Hoc audito Jesus ait illis : Non necesse habent sani medico, sed qui male habent : non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.	17 Jesus heard this and said to them (that), "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."
18 Et erant discipuli Joannis et pharisæi jejunantes : et veniunt, et dicunt illi : Quare discipuli Joannis et pharisæorum jejunant, tui autem discipuli non jejunant ?	18 The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to him and objected, "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"
19 Et ait illis Jesus : Numquid possunt filii nuptiarum, quamdiu sponsus cum illis est, jejunare ? Quanto tempore habent secum sponsum, non possunt jejunare.	19 Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.
20 Venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus : et tunc jejunabunt in illis diebus.	20 But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day.
21 Nemo assumentum panni rudis assuit vestimento veteri : alioquin aufert supplementum novum a veteri, et major scissura fit.	21 No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse.
22 Et nemo mittit vinum novum in utres veteres : alioquin dirumpet vinum utres, et vinum effundetur, et utres peribunt : sed vinum novum in utres novos mitti debet.	22 Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins."
23 Et factum est iterum cum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, et discipuli ejus cœperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.	23 As he was passing through a field of grain on the sabbath, his disciples began to make a path while picking the heads of grain.
24 Pharisæi autem dicebant ei : Ecce, quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet ?	24 At this the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?"
25 Et ait illis : Numquam legistis quid fecerit David, quando necessitatem habuit, et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant ?	25 He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry?
26 quomodo introivit in domum Dei sub Abiathar principe sacerdotum, et panes propositionis manducavit, quos non licebat manducare, nisi sacerdotibus, et dedit eis qui cum eo erant ?	26 How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the bread of offering that only the priests could lawfully eat, and shared it with his companions?"
27 Et dicebat eis : Sabbatum propter hominem factum est, et non homo propter sabbatum.	27 Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.
28 Itaque Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.	28 That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath."
