Marcus 2

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Et iterum intravit Capharnaum post dies,	1 When he returned to Capernaum, some time later word went round that he was in the house;
2 et auditum est quod in domo esset, et convenerunt multi, ita ut non caperet neque ad januam, et loquebatur eis verbum.	2 and so many people collected that there was no room left, even in front of the door. He was preachingthe word to them
3 Et venerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur.	3 when some people came bringing 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 but as they could not get the man to him through the crowd, they stripped the roof over the place whereJesus was; and when they had made an opening, they lowered the stretcher on which the paralytic lay.
5 Cum autem vidisset Jesus fidem illorum, ait paralytico : Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua.	5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralytic, 'My child, your sins are forgiven.'
6 Erant autem illic quidam de scribis sedentes, et cogitantes in cordibus suis :	6 Now some scribes were sitting there, and they thought to themselves,
7 Quid hic sic loquitur ? blasphemat. Quis potest dimittere peccata, nisi solus Deus ?	7 'How can this man talk like that? He is being blasphemous. Who but God can forgive sins?'
8 Quo statim cognito Jesus spiritu suo, quia sic cogitarent intra se, dicit illis : Quid ista cogitatis in cordibus vestris ?	8 And at once, Jesus, inwardly aware that this is what they were thinking, said to them, 'Why do you havethese thoughts in your hearts?
9 Quid est facilius dicere paralytico : Dimittuntur tibi peccata : an dicere : Surge, tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula ?	9 Which of these is easier: to say to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven" or to say, "Get up, pick up your stretcher and walk"?
10 Ut autem sciatis quia Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata (ait paralytico),	10 But to prove to you 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 order you: get up, pick up your stretcher, and go off 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 And the man got up, and at once picked up his stretcher and walked out in front of everyone, so thatthey were al astonished and praised 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 He went out again to the shore of the lake; and al the people 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 was walking along he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him,'Fol ow me.' And he got up and fol owed 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 When Jesus was at dinner in his house, a number of tax collectors and sinners were also sitting attable with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many of them among his fol owers.
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 When the scribes of the Pharisee party saw him eating with sinners and tax col ectors, they said to hisdisciples, '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 When Jesus heard this he said to them, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick. I cameto cal not the upright, 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 John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast, when some people came to him and said tohim, 'Why is it that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?'
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 replied, 'Surely the bridegroom's attendants cannot fast while the bridegroom is still 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 time wil come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then, on that day, they wilfast.
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; otherwise, the patch pul s away from it, thenew 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 And nobody puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine wil burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins too. No! New wine into fresh skins!'
23 Et factum est iterum cum Dominus sabbatis ambularet per sata, et discipuli ejus cœperunt progredi, et vellere spicas.	23 It happened that one Sabbath day he was taking a walk through the cornfields, and his disciplesbegan to make a path by plucking ears of corn.
24 Pharisæi autem dicebant ei : Ecce, quid faciunt sabbatis quod non licet ?	24 And the Pharisees said to him, 'Look, why are they doing something on the Sabbath day that isforbidden?'
25 Et ait illis : Numquam legistis quid fecerit David, quando necessitatem habuit, et esuriit ipse, et qui cum eo erant ?	25 And he replied, 'Have you never read what David did in his time of need when he and his fol owerswere 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 loaves of the offeringwhich only the priests are al owed to eat, and how he also gave some to the men with him?'
27 Et dicebat eis : Sabbatum propter hominem factum est, et non homo propter sabbatum.	27 And he said to them, 'The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath;
28 Itaque Dominus est Filius hominis, etiam sabbati.	28 so the Son of man is master even of the Sabbath.'
