Luke 8

Ed avvenne in appresso che egli andava attorno di città in città e di villaggio in villaggio, predicando ed annunziando la buona novella del regno di Dio;

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

e con lui erano i dodici e certe donne che erano state guarite da spiriti maligni e da infermità: Maria, detta Maddalena, dalla quale erano usciti sette demoni,

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

e Giovanna, moglie di Cuza, amministratore d’Erode, e Susanna ed altre molte che assistevano Gesù ed i suoi coi loro beni.

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

Or come si raunava gran folla e la gente d’ogni città accorreva a lui, egli disse in parabola:

And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

Il seminatore uscì a seminar la sua semenza; e mentre seminava, una parte del seme cadde lungo la strada, e fu calpestato e gli uccelli del cielo lo mangiarono.

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

Ed un’altra cadde sulla roccia; e come fu nato seccò perché non avea umore.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

Ed un’altra cadde in mezzo alle spine; e le spine, nate insieme col seme, lo soffocarono.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

Ed un’altra parte cadde nella buona terra; e nata che fu, fruttò il cento per uno. Dicendo queste cose, esclamava: Chi ha orecchi da udire, oda.

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

E i suoi discepoli gli domandarono che volesse dir questa parabola.

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

Ed egli disse: A voi è dato di conoscere i misteri del regno di Dio; ma agli altri se ne parla in parabole, affinché vedendo non veggano, e udendo non intendano.

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Or questo è il senso della parabola: Il seme è la parola di Dio.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Quelli lungo la strada son coloro che hanno udito; ma poi viene il diavolo e porta via la Parola dal cuor loro, affinché non credano e non siano salvati.

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

E quelli sulla roccia son coloro i quali, quando hanno udito la Parola, la ricevono con allegrezza; ma costoro non hanno radice, credono per un tempo, e quando viene la prova, si traggono indietro.

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

E quel ch’è caduto fra le spine, son coloro che hanno udito, ma se ne vanno e restan soffocati dalle cure e dalle ricchezze e dai piaceri della vita, e non arrivano a maturità.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

E quel ch’è in buona terra, son coloro i quali, dopo aver udita la Parola, la ritengono in un cuore onesto e buono, e portan frutto con perseveranza.

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Or niuno, accesa una lampada, la copre con un vaso, o la mette sotto il letto; anzi la mette sul candeliere, acciocché chi entra vegga la luce.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Poiché non v’è nulla di nascosto che non abbia a diventar manifesto, né di segreto che non abbia a sapersi ed a farsi palese.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Badate dunque come ascoltate: perché a chi ha sarà dato; ma a chi non ha, anche quel che pensa d’avere gli sarà tolto.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

Or sua madre e i suoi fratelli vennero a lui; e non poteano avvicinarglisi a motivo della folla.

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

E gli fu riferito: Tua madre e i tuoi fratelli son là fuori, che ti voglion vedere.

And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Mia madre e miei fratelli son quelli che ascoltano la parola di Dio e la mettono in pratica.

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

Or avvenne, in un di quei giorni, ch’egli entrò in una barca co’ suoi discepoli, e disse loro: Passiamo all’altra riva del lago. E presero il largo.

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

E mentre navigavano, egli si addormentò; e calò sul lago un turbine di vento, talché la barca s’empiva d’acqua, ed essi pericolavano.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

E accostatisi, lo svegliarono, dicendo: Maestro, Maestro, noi periamo! Ma egli, destatosi, sgridò il vento e i flutti che s’acquetarono, e si fe’ bonaccia.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

Poi disse loro: Dov’è la fede vostra? Ma essi, impauriti e maravigliati, diceano l’uno all’altro: Chi è mai costui che comanda anche ai venti ed all’acqua e gli ubbidiscono?

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

E navigarono verso il paese dei Geraseni che è dirimpetto alla Galilea.

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

E quando egli fu smontato a terra, gli si fece incontro un uomo della città, il quale era posseduto da demoni, e da lungo tempo non indossava vestito, e non abitava casa ma stava ne’ sepolcri.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

Or quando ebbe veduto Gesù, dato un gran grido, gli si prostrò dinanzi, e disse con gran voce: Che v’è fra me e te, o Gesù, Figliuolo dell’Iddio altissimo? Ti prego, non mi tormentare.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

Poiché Gesù comandava allo spirito immondo d’uscir da quell’uomo; molte volte infatti esso se n’era impadronito; e benché lo si fosse legato con catene e custodito in ceppi, avea spezzato i legami, ed era portato via dal demonio ne’ deserti.

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

E Gesù gli domandò: Qual è il tuo nome? Ed egli rispose: Legione; perché molti demoni erano entrati in lui.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

Ed essi lo pregavano che non comandasse loro d’andar nell’abisso.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

Or c’era quivi un branco numeroso di porci che pascolava pel monte; e que’ demoni lo pregarono di permetter loro d’entrare in quelli. Ed egli lo permise loro.

And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

E i demoni, usciti da quell’uomo, entrarono ne’ porci; e quel branco si avventò a precipizio giù nel lago ed affogò.

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

E quando quelli che li pasturavano videro ciò ch’era avvenuto, se ne fuggirono e portaron la notizia in città e per la campagna.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

E la gente uscì fuori a veder l’accaduto; e venuta a Gesù, trovò l’uomo, dal quale erano usciti i demoni, che sedeva a’ piedi di Gesù, vestito ed in buon senno; e s’impaurirono.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

E quelli che aveano veduto, raccontarono loro come l’indemoniato era stato liberato.

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

E l’intera popolazione della circostante regione de’ Geraseni pregò Gesù che se n’andasse da loro; perch’eran presi da grande spavento. Ed egli, montato nella barca, se ne tornò indietro.

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

E l’uomo dal quale erano usciti i demoni, lo pregava di poter stare con lui, ma Gesù lo licenziò, dicendo:

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Torna a casa tua, e racconta le grandi cose che Iddio ha fatte per te. Ed egli se ne andò per tutta la città, proclamando quanto grandi cose Gesù avea fatte per lui.

Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

Al suo ritorno, Gesù fu accolto dalla folla, perché tutti lo stavano aspettando.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

Ed ecco venire un uomo, chiamato Iairo, che era capo della sinagoga; e gittatosi ai piedi di Gesù, lo pregava d’entrare in casa sua,

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

perché avea una figlia unica di circa dodici anni, e quella stava per morire. Or mentre Gesù v’andava, la moltitudine l’affollava.

For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

E una donna che avea un flusso di sangue da dodici anni ed avea spesa ne’ medici tutta la sua sostanza senza poter esser guarita da alcuno,

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

accostatasi per di dietro, gli toccò il lembo della veste; e in quell’istante il suo flusso ristagnò.

Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

E Gesù domandò: Chi m’ha toccato? E siccome tutti negavano, Pietro e quelli ch’eran con lui, risposero: Maestro, le turbe ti stringono e t’affollano.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

Ma Gesù replicò: Qualcuno m’ha toccato, perché ho sentito che una virtù è uscita da me.

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

E la donna, vedendo che non era rimasta inosservata, venne tutta tremante, e gittatasi a’ suoi piedi, dichiarò, in presenza di tutto il popolo, per qual motivo l’avea toccato e com’era stata guarita in un istante.

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

Ma egli le disse: Figliuola, la tua fede t’ha salvata; vattene in pace.

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

Mentr’egli parlava ancora, venne uno da casa del capo della sinagoga, a dirgli: La tua figliuola è morta; non incomodar più oltre il Maestro.

While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

Ma Gesù, udito ciò, rispose a Iairo: Non temere; solo abbi fede, ed ella sarà salva.

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

Ed arrivato alla casa, non permise ad alcuno d’entrarvi con lui, salvo che a Pietro, a Giovanni, a Giacomo e al padre e alla madre della fanciulla.

And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

Or tutti piangevano e facean cordoglio per lei. Ma egli disse: Non piangete; ella non è morta, ma dorme.

And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

E si ridevano di lui, sapendo ch’era morta.

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

Ma egli, presala per la mano, disse ad alta voce: Fanciulla, lèvati!

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

E lo spirito di lei tornò; ella s’alzò subito, ed egli comandò che le si desse da mangiare.

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

E i gentori di lei sbigottirono: ma egli ordinò loro di non dire ad alcuno quel che era accenuto.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
