Fishermen called; healings and questions

English onlyRead it word by word

Lc 5:1Factum est autem, cum turbae irruērunt in eum ut audīrent verbum Deī, et ipse stābat secus stagnum Genesareth.And it was done: when the crowds pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he himself was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret. Lc 5:2Et vīdit duās nāvēs stantēs secus stagnum: piscātōrēs autem dēscenderant, et lavābant rētia.And he saw two ships standing beside the lake: but the fishermen had gone down, and were washing the nets. Lc 5:3Ascendēns autem in ūnam nāvim, quae erat Simōnis, rogāvit eum ā terrā redūcere pusillum.And going up into one ship, which was Simon's, he asked him to put back a little from the land. Lc 5:3Et sedēns docēbat dē nāviculā turbās.And sitting, he was teaching the crowds from the little ship. Lc 5:4Ut cessāvit autem loquī, dīxit ad Simōnem: Dūc in altum, et laxāte rētia vestra in captūram.And when he had stopped speaking, he said to Simon: "Lead out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch." Lc 5:5Et respondēns Simōn, dīxit illī: Praeceptor, per tōtam noctem labōrantēs nihil cēpimus: in verbō autem tuō laxābō rēte.And answering, Simon said to him: "Master, labouring through the whole night we have caught nothing: but at your word I will let down the net."

Lc 5:6Et cum hoc fēcissent, conclūsērunt piscium multitūdinem cōpiōsam: rumpēbātur autem rēte eōrum.And when they had done this, they enclosed an abundant multitude of fish: and their net was breaking. Lc 5:7Et annuērunt sociīs, quī erant in aliā nāvī, ut venīrent, et adjuvārent eōs.And they nodded to their partners, who were in the other ship, to come and help them. Lc 5:7Et vēnērunt, et implēvērunt ambās nāviculās, ita ut penē mergerentur.And they came, and filled both little ships, so that they were almost sinking. Lc 5:8Quod cum vidēret Simōn Petrus, prōcidit ad genua Jēsū, dīcēns: Exī ā mē, quia homō peccātor sum, Domine.And when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying: "Go out from me, because I am a sinful man, Lord." Lc 5:9Stupor enim circumdederat eum, et omnēs quī cum illō erant, in captūrā piscium, quam cēperant: similiter autem Jacōbum et Jōannem, fīliōs Zebedaeī, quī erant sociī Simōnis.For amazement had surrounded him, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken: and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Lc 5:10Et ait ad Simōnem Jēsūs: Nōlī timēre: ex hōc jam hominēs eris capiēns.And Jesus said to Simon: "Do not be afraid: from this time now you will be catching people."

Lc 5:11Et subductīs ad terram nāvibus, relictīs omnibus, secūtī sunt eum.And the ships having been brought up to land, all things having been left, they followed him. Lc 5:12Et factum est, cum esset in ūnā cīvitātum, et ecce vir plēnus leprā, et vidēns Jēsum, et prōcidēns in faciem, rogāvit eum, dīcēns: Domine, sī vīs, potes mē mundāre.And it was done: when he was in one of the cities, and look, a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, and falling down on his face, asked him, saying: "Lord, if you are willing, you are able to make me clean." Lc 5:13Et extendēns manum, tetigit eum dīcēns: Volō: mundāre.And stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying: "I am willing: be made clean." Lc 5:13Et cōnfestim lepra discessit ab illō.And at once the leprosy departed from him. Lc 5:14Et ipse praecēpit illī ut nēminī dīceret: sed, Vāde, ostende tē sacerdōtī, et offer prō ēmundātiōne tuā, sīcut praecēpit Mōysēs, in testimōnium illīs.And he ordered him that he should tell no one: "But go, show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses ordered, as a testimony to them."

Lc 5:15Perambulābat autem magis sermō dē illō: et conveniēbant turbae multae ut audīrent, et cūrārentur ab īnfirmitātibus suīs.But the talk about him was going about all the more: and many crowds were coming together to hear, and to be cured of their sicknesses. Lc 5:16Ipse autem sēcēdēbat in dēsertum, et ōrābat.But he was withdrawing into the desert, and was praying. Lc 5:17Et factum est in ūnā diērum, et ipse sedēbat docēns.And it was done on one of the days, and he was sitting, teaching. Lc 5:17Et erant pharisaeī sedentēs, et lēgis doctōrēs, quī vēnerant ex omnī castellō Galilaeae, et Jūdaeae, et Jerūsalem: et virtūs Dominī erat ad sānandum eōs.And there were Pharisees sitting, and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee, and of Judea, and of Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was there for healing them. Lc 5:18Et ecce virī portantēs in lectō hominem, quī erat paralyticus: et quaerēbant eum īnferre, et pōnere ante eum.And look, men carrying on a bed a man who was paralysed: and they were seeking to bring him in, and to place him before him.

Lc 5:19Et nōn invenientēs quā parte illum īnferrent prae turbā, ascendērunt suprā tēctum, et per tēgulās summīsērunt eum cum lectō in medium ante Jēsum.And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the crowd, they went up onto the roof, and through the tiles they let him down with the bed into the middle, before Jesus. Lc 5:20Quōrum fidem ut vīdit, dīxit: Homō, remittuntur tibi peccāta tua.And when he saw their faith, he said: "Man, your sins are forgiven you." Lc 5:21Et coepērunt cōgitāre scrībae et pharisaeī, dīcentēs: Quis est hic, quī loquitur blasphēmiās?And the scribes and Pharisees began to think, saying: "Who is this, who speaks blasphemies? Lc 5:21Quis potest dīmittere peccāta, nisi sōlus Deus?Who can forgive sins, except God alone?" Lc 5:22Ut cognōvit autem Jēsūs cōgitātiōnēs eōrum, respondēns, dīxit ad illōs: Quid cōgitātis in cordibus vestrīs?But when Jesus recognized their thoughts, answering, he said to them: "What are you thinking in your hearts? Lc 5:23Quid est facilius dīcere: Dīmittuntur tibi peccāta: an dīcere: Surge, et ambulā?Which is easier, to say: 'Your sins are forgiven you': or to say: 'Get up, and walk'? Lc 5:24Ut autem sciātis quia Fīlius hominis habet potestātem in terrā dīmittendī peccāta, (ait paralyticō) tibi dīcō, surge, tolle lectum tuum, et vāde in domum tuam.But so that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth of forgiving sins" (he says to the paralysed man), "to you I say, get up, lift your bed, and go into your house."

Lc 5:25Et cōnfestim cōnsurgēns cōram illīs, tulit lectum in quō jacēbat: et abiit in domum suam, magnificāns Deum.And at once rising up before them, he lifted the bed on which he was lying: and he went away into his house, magnifying God. Lc 5:26Et stupor apprehendit omnēs, et magnificābant Deum.And amazement seized all, and they were magnifying God. Lc 5:26Et replētī sunt timōre, dīcentēs: Quia vīdimus mīrābilia hodiē.And they were filled with fear, saying: "We have seen wonderful things today." Lc 5:27Et post haec exiit, et vīdit pūblicānum nōmine Levi, sedentem ad telōnium, et ait illī: Sequere mē.And after these things he went out, and saw a tax collector, Levi by name, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him: "Follow me." Lc 5:28Et relictīs omnibus, surgēns secūtus est eum.And all things having been left, rising up he followed him. Lc 5:29Et fēcit eī convīvium magnum Levi in domō suā: et erat turba multa pūblicānōrum, et aliōrum quī cum illīs erant discumbentēs.And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and there was a large crowd of tax collectors, and of others who were reclining with them.

Lc 5:30Et murmurābant pharisaeī et scrībae eōrum, dīcentēs ad discipulōs ejus: Quārē cum pūblicānīs et peccātōribus mandūcātis et bibitis?And the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling, saying to his disciples: "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?" Lc 5:31Et respondēns Jēsūs, dīxit ad illōs: Nōn egent quī sānī sunt medicō, sed quī male habent.And answering, Jesus said to them: "Those who are healthy have no need of a doctor, but those who are ill. Lc 5:32Nōn vēnī vocāre jūstōs, sed peccātōrēs ad poenitentiam.I have not come to call the just, but sinners to repentance." Lc 5:33At illī dīxērunt ad eum: Quārē discipulī Jōannis jējūnant frequenter, et obsecrātiōnēs faciunt, similiter et pharisaeōrum: tuī autem ēdunt et bibunt?But they said to him: "Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, likewise also those of the Pharisees: but yours eat and drink?" Lc 5:34Quibus ipse ait: Numquid potestis fīliōs spōnsī, dum cum illīs est spōnsus, facere jējūnāre?And he said to them: "Surely you cannot make the sons of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? Lc 5:35Venient autem diēs, cum ablātus fuerit ab illīs spōnsus: tunc jējūnābunt in illīs diēbus.But days will come, when the bridegroom has been taken away from them: then they will fast in those days."

Lc 5:36Dīcēbat autem et similitūdinem ad illōs: Quia nēmō commissūram ā novō vestīmentō immittit in vestīmentum vetus: aliōquīn et novum rumpit, et veterī nōn convenit commissūra ā novō.And he was also telling a comparison to them: "No one puts a patch from a new garment into an old garment: otherwise he both tears the new, and the patch from the new does not suit the old. Lc 5:37Et nēmō mittit vīnum novum in utrēs veterēs: aliōquīn rumpet vīnum novum utrēs, et ipsum effundētur, et utrēs perībunt: sed vīnum novum in utrēs novōs mittendum est, et utraque cōnservantur.And no one puts new wine into old wineskins: otherwise the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will itself be poured out, and the wineskins will perish: but new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. Lc 5:39Et nēmō bibēns vetus, statim vult novum: dīcit enim: Vetus melius est.And no one drinking old wine at once wants new: for he says: 'The old is better.'"
