Lucas 7

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.	1 When he had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus : qui illi erat pretiosus.	2 A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him.
3 Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.	3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave.
4 At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei : Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes :	4 They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, "He deserves to have you do this for him,
5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.	5 for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us."
6 Jesus autem ibat cum illis. Et cum jam non longe esset a domo, misit ad eum centurio amicos, dicens : Domine, noli vexari : non enim sum dignus ut sub tectum meum intres :	6 And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof.
7 propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te : sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.	7 Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed.
8 Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus, habens sub me milites : et dico huic, Vade, et vadit : et alii, Veni, et venit : et servo meo, Fac hoc, et facit.	8 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9 Quo audito Jesus miratus est : et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit : Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.	9 When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith."
10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.	10 When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
11 Et factum est : deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim : et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.	11 Soon afterward he journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
12 Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ : et hæc vidua erat : et turba civitatis multa cum illa.	12 As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi : Noli flere.	13 When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."
14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait : Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.	14 He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.	15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16 Accepit autem omnes timor : et magnificabant Deum, dicentes : Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis : et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.	16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people."
17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.	17 This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18 Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.	18 The disciples of John told him about all these things. John summoned two of his disciples
19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens : Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus ?	19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
20 Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt : Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens : Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus ?	20 When the men came to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
21 (In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)	21 At that time he cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits; he also granted sight to many who were blind.
22 Et respondens, dixit illis : Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis : quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur :	22 And he said to them in reply, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.	23 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."
24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas : Quid existis in desertum videre ? arundinem vento agitatam ?	24 When the messengers of John had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out to the desert to see--a reed swayed by the wind?
25 Sed quid existis videre ? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum ? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.	25 Then what did you go out to see? Someone dressed in fine garments? Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously are found in royal palaces.
26 Sed quid existis videre ? prophetam ? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam :	26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27 hic est, de quo scriptum est : Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.	27 This is the one about whom scripture says: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.'
28 Dico enim vobis : major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est : qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.	28 I tell you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.	29 (All the people who listened, including the tax collectors, and who were baptized with the baptism of John, acknowledged the righteousness of God;
30 Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.	30 but the Pharisees and scholars of the law, who were not baptized by him, rejected the plan of God for themselves.)
31 Ait autem Dominus : Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus ? et cui similes sunt ?	31 "Then to what shall I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus : Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis : lamentavimus, et non plorastis.	32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, 'We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.'
33 Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis : Dæmonium habet.	33 For John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He is possessed by a demon.'
34 Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis : Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.	34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said, 'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
35 Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.	35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children."
36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.	36 A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.
37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti :	37 Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,
38 et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.	38 she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Videns autem pharisæus, qui vocaverat eum, ait intra se dicens : Hic si esset propheta, sciret utique quæ et qualis est mulier, quæ tangit eum : quia peccatrix est.	39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."
40 Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum : Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait : Magister, dic.	40 Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said.
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.	41 "Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages and the other owed fifty.
42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit ?	42 Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?"
43 Respondens Simon dixit : Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei : Recte judicasti.	43 Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You have judged rightly."
44 Et conversus ad mulierem, dixit Simoni : Vides hanc mulierem ? Intravi in domum tuam, aquam pedibus meis non dedisti : hæc autem lacrimis rigavit pedes meos, et capillis suis tersit.	44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti : hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.	45 You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti : hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.	46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.	47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."
48 Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata.	48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit ?	49 The others at table said to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace.	50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
