Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Cum autem implesset omnia verba sua in aures plebis, intravit Capharnaum.
1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2Centurionis autem cujusdam servus male habens, erat moriturus: qui illi erat pretiosus.
2A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3Et cum audisset de Jesu, misit ad eum seniores Judæorum, rogans eum ut veniret et salvaret servum ejus.
3When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4At illi cum venissent ad Jesum, rogabant eum sollicite, dicentes ei: Quia dignus est ut hoc illi præstes:
4When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5diligit enim gentem nostram, et synagogam ipse ædificavit nobis.
5for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6Jesus 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:
6Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7propter quod et meipsum non sum dignum arbitratus ut venirem ad te: sed dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.
7Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8Nam 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.
8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9Quo audito Jesus miratus est: et conversus sequentibus se turbis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, nec in Israël tantam fidem inveni.
9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10Et reversi, qui missi fuerant, domum, invenerunt servum, qui languerat, sanum.
10Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11Et factum est: deinceps ibat in civitatem quæ vocatur Naim: et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.
11Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12Cum autem appropinquaret portæ civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suæ: et hæc vidua erat: et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
12Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi: Noli flere.
13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. (Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait: Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
14He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et cœpit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suæ.
15He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16Accepit autem omnes timor: et magnificabant Deum, dicentes: Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis: et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.
16Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17Et exiit hic sermo in universam Judæam de eo, et in omnem circa regionem.
17This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18Et nuntiaverunt Joanni discipuli ejus de omnibus his.
18The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19Et convocavit duos de discipulis suis Joannes, et misit ad Jesum, dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
19John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20Cum autem venissent ad eum viri, dixerunt: Joannes Baptista misit nos ad te dicens: Tu es qui venturus es, an alium exspectamus?
20When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, 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.)
21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22Et respondens, dixit illis: Euntes renuntiate Joanni quæ audistis et vidistis: quia cæci vident, claudi ambulant, leprosi mundantur, surdi audiunt, mortui resurgunt, pauperes evangelizantur:
22Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me.
23Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24Et cum discessissent nuntii Joannis, cœpit de Joanne dicere ad turbas: Quid existis in desertum videre? arundinem vento agitatam?
24When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25Sed quid existis videre? hominem mollibus vestibus indutum? Ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis, in domibus regum sunt.
25But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26Sed quid existis videre? prophetam? Utique dico vobis, et plus quam prophetam:
26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27hic est, de quo scriptum est: Ecce mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
27This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28Dico enim vobis: major inter natos mulierum propheta Joanne Baptista nemo est: qui autem minor est in regno Dei, major est illo.
28“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29Et omnis populus audiens et publicani, justificaverunt Deum, baptizati baptismo Joannis.
29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30Pharisæi autem et legisperiti consilium Dei spreverunt in semetipsos, non baptizati ab eo.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31Ait autem Dominus: Cui ergo similes dicam homines generationis hujus? et cui similes sunt?
31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32Similes sunt pueris sedentibus in foro, et loquentibus ad invicem, et dicentibus: Cantavimus vobis tibiis, et non saltastis: lamentavimus, et non plorastis.
32They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33Venit enim Joannes Baptista, neque manducans panem, neque bibens vinum, et dicitis: Dæmonium habet.
33For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34Venit Filius hominis manducans, et bibens, et dicitis: Ecce homo devorator, et bibens vinum, amicus publicanorum et peccatorum.
34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35Et justificata est sapientia ab omnibus filiis suis.
35Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36Rogabat autem illum quidam de pharisæis ut manducaret cum illo. Et ingressus domum pharisæi discubuit.
36One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37Et ecce mulier, quæ erat in civitate peccatrix, ut cognovit quod accubuisset in domo pharisæi, attulit alabastrum unguenti:
37Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38et stans retro secus pedes ejus, lacrimis cœpit rigare pedes ejus, et capillis capitis sui tergebat, et osculabatur pedes ejus, et unguento ungebat.
38Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39Videns 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.
39Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40Et respondens Jesus, dixit ad illum: Simon, habeo tibi aliquid dicere. At ille ait: Magister, dic.
40Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41Duo debitores erant cuidam fœneratori: unus debebat denarios quingentos, et alius quinquaginta.
41“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42Non habentibus illis unde redderent, donavit utrisque. Quis ergo eum plus diligit?
42When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43Respondens Simon dixit: Æstimo quia is cui plus donavit. At ille dixit ei: Recte judicasti.
43Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44Et 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.
44Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45Osculum mihi non dedisti: hæc autem ex quo intravit, non cessavit osculari pedes meos.
45You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46Oleo caput meum non unxisti: hæc autem unguento unxit pedes meos.
46You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47Propter quod dico tibi: remittuntur ei peccata multa, quoniam dilexit multum. Cui autem minus dimittitur, minus diligit.
47Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48Dixit autem ad illam: Remittuntur tibi peccata.
48He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49Et cœperunt qui simul accumbebant, dicere intra se: Quis est hic qui etiam peccata dimittit?
49Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50Dixit autem ad mulierem: Fides tua te salvam fecit: vade in pace.
50He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
