Lucas 8

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et factum est deinceps, et ipse iter faciebat per civitates, et castella prædicans, et evangelizans regnum Dei : et duodecim cum illo,	1 Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve
2 et mulieres aliquæ, quæ erant curatæ a spiritibus malignis et infirmantibus : Maria, quæ vocatur Magdalene, de qua septem dæmonia exierant,	2 and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 et Joanna uxor Chusæ procuratoris Herodis, et Susanna, et aliæ multæ, quæ ministrabant ei de facultatibus suis.	3 Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources.
4 Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem :	4 When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another journeying to him, he spoke in a parable.
5 Exiit qui seminat, seminare semen suum. Et dum seminat, aliud cecidit secus viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres cæli comederunt illud.	5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up.
6 Et aliud cecidit supra petram : et natum aruit, quia non habebat humorem.	6 Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture.
7 Et aliud cecidit inter spinas, et simul exortæ spinæ suffocaverunt illud.	7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 Et aliud cecidit in terram bonam : et ortum fecit fructum centuplum. Hæc dicens clamabat : Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.	8 And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
9 Interrogabant autem eum discipuli ejus, quæ esset hæc parabola.	9 Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be.
10 Quibus ipse dixit : Vobis datum est nosse mysterium regni Dei, ceteris autem in parabolis : ut videntes non videant, et audientes non intelligant.	10 He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that 'they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.'
11 Est autem hæc parabola : Semen est verbum Dei.	11 "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
12 Qui autem secus viam, hi sunt qui audiunt : deinde venit diabolus, et tollit verbum de corde eorum, ne credentes salvi fiant.	12 Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Nam qui supra petram, qui cum audierint, cum gaudio suscipiunt verbum : et hi radices non habent : qui ad tempus credunt, et in tempore tentationis recedunt.	13 Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of trial.
14 Quod autem in spinas cecidit : hi sunt qui audierunt, et a sollicitudinibus, et divitiis, et voluptatibus vitæ euntes, suffocantur, et non referunt fructum.	14 As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit.
15 Quod autem in bonam terram : hi sunt qui in corde bono et optimo audientes verbum retinent, et fructum afferunt in patientia.	15 But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.
16 Nemo autem lucernam accendens, operit eam vase, aut subtus lectum ponit : sed supra candelabrum ponit, ut intrantes videant lumen.	16 "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
17 Non est enim occultum, quod non manifestetur : nec absconditum, quod non cognoscatur, et in palam veniat.	17 For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 Videte ergo quomodo audiatis ? Qui enim habet, dabitur illi : et quicumque non habet, etiam quod putat se habere, auferetur ab illo.	18 Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away."
19 Venerunt autem ad illum mater et fratres ejus, et non poterant adire eum præ turba.	19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd.
20 Et nuntiatum est illi : Mater tua et fratres tui stant foris, volentes te videre.	20 He was told, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you."
21 Qui respondens, dixit ad eos : Mater mea et fratres mei hi sunt, qui verbum Dei audiunt et faciunt.	21 He said to them in reply, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it."
22 Factum est autem in una dierum : et ipse ascendit in naviculam, et discipuli ejus, et ait ad illos : Transfretemus trans stagnum. Et ascenderunt.	22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, "Let us cross to the other side of the lake." So they set sail,
23 Et navigantibus illis, obdormivit, et descendit procella venti in stagnum, et complebantur, et periclitabantur.	23 and while they were sailing he fell asleep. A squall blew over the lake, and they were taking in water and were in danger.
24 Accedentes autem suscitaverunt eum, dicentes : Præceptor, perimus. At ille surgens, increpavit ventum, et tempestatem aquæ, et cessavit : et facta est tranquillitas.	24 They came and woke him saying, "Master, master, we are perishing!" He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm.
25 Dixit autem illis : Ubi est fides vestra ? Qui timentes, mirati sunt ad invicem, dicentes : Quis putas hic est, quia et ventis, et mari imperat, et obediunt ei ?	25 Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, "Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"
26 Et navigaverunt ad regionem Gerasenorum, quæ est contra Galilæam.	26 Then they sailed to the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Et cum egressus esset ad terram, occurrit illi vir quidam, qui habebat dæmonium jam temporibus multis, et vestimento non induebatur, neque in domo manebat, sed in monumentis.	27 When he came ashore a man from the town who was possessed by demons met him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; he did not live in a house, but lived among the tombs.
28 Is, ut vidit Jesum, procidit ante illum : et exclamans voce magna, dixit : Quid mihi et tibi est, Jesu Fili Dei Altissimi ? obsecro te, ne me torqueas.	28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him; in a loud voice he shouted, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me!"
29 Præcipiebat enim spiritui immundo ut exiret ab homine. Multis enim temporibus arripiebat illum, et vinciebatur catenis, et compedibus custoditus. Et ruptis vinculis agebatur a dæmonio in deserta.	29 For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (It had taken hold of him many times, and he used to be bound with chains and shackles as a restraint, but he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into deserted places.)
30 Interrogavit autem illum Jesus, dicens : Quod tibi nomen est ? At ille dixit : Legio : quia intraverant dæmonia multa in eum.	30 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.
31 Et rogabant illum ne imperaret illis ut in abyssum irent.	31 And they pleaded with him not to order them to depart to the abyss.
32 Erat autem ibi grex porcorum multorum pascentium in monte : et rogabant eum, ut permitteret eis in illos ingredi. Et permisit illis.	32 A herd of many swine was feeding there on the hillside, and they pleaded with him to allow them to enter those swine; and he let them.
33 Exierunt ergo dæmonia ab homine, et intraverunt in porcos : et impetu abiit grex per præceps in stagnum, et suffocatus est.	33 The demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 Quod ut viderunt factum qui pascebant, fugerunt, et nuntiaverunt in civitatem et in villas.	34 When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran away and reported the incident in the town and throughout the countryside.
35 Exierunt autem videre quod factum est, et venerunt ad Jesum, et invenerunt hominem sedentem, a quo dæmonia exierant, vestitum ac sana mente, ad pedes ejus, et timuerunt.	35 People came out to see what had happened and, when they approached Jesus, they discovered the man from whom the demons had come out sitting at his feet. He was clothed and in his right mind, and they were seized with fear.
36 Nuntiaverunt autem illis et qui viderant, quomodo sanus factus esset a legione :	36 Those who witnessed it told them how the possessed man had been saved.
37 et rogaverunt illum omnis multitudo regionis Gerasenorum ut discederet ab ipsis : quia magno timore tenebantur. Ipse autem ascendens navim, reversus est.	37 The entire population of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them because they were seized with great fear. So he got into a boat and returned.
38 Et rogabat illum vir, a quo dæmonia exierant, ut cum eo esset. Dimisit autem eum Jesus, dicens :	38 The man from whom the demons had come out begged to remain with him, but he sent him away, saying,
39 Redi in domum tuam, et narra quanta tibi fecit Deus. Et abiit per universam civitatem, prædicans quanta illi fecisset Jesus.	39 "Return home and recount what God has done for you." The man went off and proclaimed throughout the whole town what Jesus had done for him.
40 Factum est autem cum rediisset Jesus, excepit illum turba : erunt enim omnes exspectantes eum.	40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Et ecce venit vir, cui nomen Jairus, et ipse princeps synagogæ erat : et cecidit ad pedes Jesu, rogans eum ut intraret in domum ejus,	41 And a man named Jairus, an official of the synagogue, came forward. He fell at the feet of Jesus and begged him to come to his house,
42 quia unica filia erat ei fere annorum duodecim, et hæc moriebatur. Et contigit, dum iret, a turba comprimebatur.	42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. As he went, the crowds almost crushed him.
43 Et mulier quædam erat in fluxu sanguinis ab annis duodecim, quæ in medicos erogaverat omnem substantiam suam, nec ab ullo potuit curari :	43 And a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years, who (had spent her whole livelihood on doctors and) was unable to be cured by anyone,
44 accessit retro, et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti ejus : et confestim stetit fluxus sanguinis ejus.	44 came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. Immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 Et ait Jesus : Quis est, qui me tetigit ? Negantibus autem omnibus, dixit Petrus, et qui cum illo erant : Præceptor, turbæ te comprimunt, et affligunt, et dicis : Quis me tetigit ?	45 Jesus then asked, "Who touched me?" While all were denying it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds are pushing and pressing in upon you."
46 Et dicit Jesus : Tetigit me aliquis : nam ego novi virtutem de me exiisse.	46 But Jesus said, "Someone has touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me."
47 Videns autem mulier, quia non latuit, tremens venit, et procidit ante pedes ejus : et ob quam causam tetigerit eum, indicavit coram omni populo : et quemadmodum confestim sanata sit.	47 When the woman realized that she had not escaped notice, she came forward trembling. Falling down before him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
48 At ipse dixit ei : Filia, fides tua salvam te fecit : vade in pace.	48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace."
49 Adhuc illo loquente, venit quidam ad principem synagogæ, dicens ei : Quia mortua est filia tua, noli vexare illum.	49 While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer."
50 Jesus autem, audito hoc verbo, respondit patri puellæ : Noli timere, crede tantum, et salva erit.	50 On hearing this, Jesus answered him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith and she will be saved."
51 Et cum venisset domum, non permisit intrare secum quemquam, nisi Petrum, et Jacobum, et Joannem, et patrem, et matrem puellæ.	51 When he arrived at the house he allowed no one to enter with him except Peter and John and James, and the child's father and mother.
52 Flebant autem omnes, et plangebant illam. At ille dixit : Nolite flere : non est mortua puella, sed dormit.	52 All were weeping and mourning for her, when he said, "Do not weep any longer, for she is not dead, but sleeping."
53 Et deridebant eum, scientes quod mortua esset.	53 And they ridiculed him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 Ipse autem tenens manum ejus clamavit, dicens : Puella, surge.	54 But he took her by the hand and called to her, "Child, arise!"
55 Et reversus est spiritus ejus, et surrexit continuo. Et jussit illi dari manducare.	55 Her breath returned and she immediately arose. He then directed that she should be given something to eat.
56 Et stupuerunt parentes ejus, quibus præcepit ne alicui dicerent quod factum erat.	56 Her parents were astounded, and he instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
