Lucas 7

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.	1 And when he had completed all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus : qui illi erat pretiosus.	2 Now the servant of a certain centurion was dying, due to an illness. And he was very dear to him.
3 Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.	3 And when he had heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, petitioning him, so that he would come and heal his servant.
4 At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei : Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes :	4 And when they had come to Jesus, they petitioned him anxiously, saying to him: “He is worthy that you should provide this to him.
5 diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.	5 For he loves our nation, and he has built a 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 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying: “Lord, do not trouble yourself. For I am not worthy that you should 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 Because of this, I also did not consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant shall 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 also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘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 And upon hearing this, Jesus was amazed. And turning to the multitude following him, he said, “Amen I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
10 Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.	10 And those who had been sent, upon returning to the house, found that the servant, who had been sick, was now healthy.
11 Et factum est : deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim : et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.	11 And it happened afterwards that he went to a city, which is called Nain. And his disciples, and an abundant crowd, went with 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 Then, when he had drawn near to the gate of the city, behold, a deceased person was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.
13 Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi : Noli flere.	13 And when the Lord had seen her, being moved by mercy over her, he said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait : Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.	14 And he drew near and touched the coffin. Then those who carried it stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15 Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.	15 And the dead youth sat up and began to speak. And he 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 Then fear fell over all of them. And they magnified God, saying: “For a great prophet has risen up among us,” and, “For God has visited his people.”
17 Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.	17 And this word about him went out to all of Judea and to the entire surrounding region.
18 Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.	18 And the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.
19 Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens : Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus ?	19 And John called two of his disciples, and he sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you he who is to come, or should we wait 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 But when the men had come to him, they said: “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying: ‘Are you he who is to come, or should we wait for another?’ ”
21 (In ipsa autem hora multos curavit a languoribus, et plagis, et spiritibus malis, et cæcis multis donavit visum.)	21 Now in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and wounds and evil spirits; and to many of the blind, he gave sight.
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 responding, he said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.
23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.	23 And blessed is anyone who has not taken offense at me.”
24 Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas : Quid existis in desertum videre ? arundinem vento agitatam ?	24 And when the messengers of John had withdrawn, he began to speak about John to the crowds. “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken 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? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who are in costly apparel and finery are in the houses of kings.
26 Sed quid existis videre ? prophetam ? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam :	26 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Certainly, 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 he of whom it is written: “Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall 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 For I say to you, among those born of women, no one is greater than the prophet John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.	29 And upon hearing this, all the people and the tax collectors justified God, by being baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.	30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law despised the counsel of God concerning themselves, by not being baptized by him.
31 Ait autem Dominus : Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus ? et cui similes sunt ?	31 Then the Lord said: “Therefore, to what shall I compare the men of this generation? And to what are they similar?
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 sitting in the marketplace, talking with one another, and saying: ‘We sang to you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and 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 bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has 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 say, ‘Behold, a voracious man and a drinker of wine, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners.’
35 Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.	35 But wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.	36 Then certain Pharisees petitioned him, so that they might eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and he reclined at table.
37 Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti :	37 And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner, found out that he was reclining at table in the house of the Pharisee, so she brought an alabaster container 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 And standing behind him, beside his feet, she began to wash his feet with tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and she kissed his feet, and she anointed them with 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 Then the Pharisee, who had invited him, upon seeing this, spoke within himself, saying, “This man, if he were a prophet, would certainly know who and what kind of woman is this, 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 And in response, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Speak, Teacher.”
41 Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori : unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.	41 “A certain creditor had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit ?	42 And since they did not have the ability to repay him, he forgave them both. So then, which of them loves him more?”
43 Respondens Simon dixit : Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei : Recte judicasti.	43 In response, Simon said, “I suppose that it is he to whom he forgave the most.” And he said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
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 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon: “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet. But she has washed my feet with tears, and has wiped them with her hair.
45 Osculum mihi non dedisti : hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.	45 You gave no kiss to me. But she, from the time that she entered, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Oleo caput meum non unxisti : hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.	46 You did not anoint my head with oil. But she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Propter quod dico tibi : remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.	47 Because of this, I tell you: many sins are forgiven her, because she has loved much. But he who is forgiven less, loves less.”
48 Dixit autem ad illam : Remittuntur tibi peccata.	48 Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven you.”
49 Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se : Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit ?	49 And those who sat at table with him began to say within themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?”
50 Dixit autem ad mulierem : Fides tua te salvam fecit : vade in pace.	50 Then he said to the woman: “Your faith has brought you salvation. Go in peace.”
