Evangelium secundum Matthaeum, 8

1. Cum autem descendisset de monte, secutae sunt eum turbae multae.

1. When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him;

2. Et ecce leprosus veniens adorabat eum dicens: “Domine, si vis, potes me mundare”.

2. and behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean."

3. Et extendens manum, tetigit eum dicens: “Volo, mundare!”; et confestim mundata est lepra eius.

3. And he stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4. Et ait illi Iesus: “Vide, nemini dixeris; sed vade, ostende te sacerdoti et offer munus, quod praecepit Moyses, in testimonium illis”.

4. And Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

5. Cum autem introisset Capharnaum, accessit ad eum centurio rogans eum

5. As he entered Caper'na-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him

6. et dicens: “Domine, puer meus iacet in domo paralyticus et male torquetur”.

6. and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress."

7. Et ait illi: “Ego veniam et curabo eum”.

7. And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."

8. Et respondens centurio ait: “Domine, non sum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum, sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus.

8. But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9. Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate, habens sub me milites, et dico huic: “Vade”, et vadit; et alii: “Veni”, et venit; et servo meo: “Fac hoc”, et facit”.

9. For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, `Go,' and he goes, and to another, `Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, `Do this,' and he does it."

10. Audiens autem Iesus, miratus est et sequentibus se dixit: “Amen dico vobis: Apud nullum inveni tantam fidem in Israel!

10. When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.

11. Dico autem vobis quod multi ab oriente et occidente venient et recumbent cum Abraham et Isaac et Iacob in regno caelorum;

11. I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

12. filii autem regni eicientur in tenebras exteriores: ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium”.

12. while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth."

13. Et dixit Iesus centurioni: “Vade; sicut credidisti, fiat tibi”. Et sanatus est puer in hora illa.

13. And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; be it done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment.

14. Et cum venisset Iesus in domum Petri, vidit socrum eius iacentem et febricitantem;

14. And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever;

15. et tetigit manum eius, et dimisit eam febris; et surrexit et ministrabat ei.

15. he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.

16. Vespere autem facto, obtulerunt ei multos daemonia habentes; et eiciebat spiritus verbo et omnes male habentes curavit,

16. That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.

17. ut adimpleretur, quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam dicentem: “Ipse infirmitates nostras accepit et aegrotationes portavit”.

17. This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."

18. Videns autem Iesus turbas multas circum se, iussit ire trans fretum.

18. Now when Jesus saw great crowds around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side.

19. Et accedens unus scriba ait illi: “Magister, sequar te, quocumque ieris”.

19. And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20. Et dicit ei Iesus: “Vulpes foveas habent, et volucres caeli tabernacula, Filius autem hominis non habet, ubi caput reclinet”.

20. And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head."

21. Alius autem de discipulis eius ait illi: “Domine, permitte me primum ire et sepelire patrem meum”.

21. Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."

22. Iesus autem ait illi: “Sequere me et dimitte mortuos sepelire mortuos suos”.

22. But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."

23. Et ascendente eo in naviculam, secuti sunt eum discipuli eius.

23. And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24. Et ecce motus magnus factus est in mari, ita ut navicula operiretur fluctibus; ipse vero dormiebat.

24. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

25. Et accesserunt et suscitaverunt eum dicentes: “Domine, salva nos, perimus!”.

25. And they went and woke him, saying, "Save, Lord; we are perishing."

26. Et dicit eis: “Quid timidi estis, modicae fidei?”. Tunc surgens increpavit ventis et mari, et facta est tranquillitas magna.

26. And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27. Porro homines mirati sunt dicentes: “Qualis est hic, quia et venti et mare oboediunt ei?”.

27. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"

28. Et cum venisset trans fretum in regionem Gadarenorum, occurrerunt ei duo habentes daemonia, de monumentis exeuntes, saevi nimis, ita ut nemo posset transire per viam illam.

28. And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way.

29. Et ecce clamaverunt dicentes: “Quid nobis et tibi, Fili Dei? Venisti huc ante tempus torquere nos?”.

29. And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"

30. Erat autem longe ab illis grex porcorum multorum pascens.

30. Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them.

31. Daemones autem rogabant eum dicentes: “Si eicis nos, mitte nos in gregem porcorum”.

31. And the demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."

32. Et ait illis: “Ite”. Et illi exeuntes abierunt in porcos; et ecce impetu abiit totus grex per praeceps in mare, et mortui sunt in aquis.

32. And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters.

33. Pastores autem fugerunt et venientes in civitatem nuntiaverunt omnia et de his, qui daemonia habuerant.

33. The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs.

34. Et ecce tota civitas exiit obviam Iesu, et viso eo rogabant, ut transiret a finibus eorum.

34. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.
