Christ heals the dropsical man. The parable of the supper. The necessity of renouncing all to follow Christ.

1And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.E avvenne, che essendo Gesù entrato in giorno di sabato nella casa di uno de' principali Farisei per ristorarsi, questi gli tenevano gli occhi addosso.AND it came to passe vvhen IESVS entred into the house of a certaine Prince of the Pharisees vpon the Sabboth to eate bread, and they vvatched him.Et factum est cum intraret Jesus in domum cujusdam principis pharisæorum sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum. 2And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.Ed eccoti che un certo uomo idropico se gli pose davanti.And behold there vvas a certaine man before him that had the dropsie.Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum. 3And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?E Gesù prese a dire, ai dottori della legge, e ai Farisei: E egli lecito di risanare in giorno di sabato?And IESVS ansvvering, spake to the Lavvyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it Lavvful to cure on the Sabboth?Et respondens Jesus dixit ad legisperitos et pharisæos, dicens: Si licet sabbato curare ? 4But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him and sent him away.Ma quegli si tacquero. Ed egli toccatolo lo risanò, e rimandollo:But they held their peace, but he taking him, healed him, and sent him avvay.At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ac dimisit. 5And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?E soggiunse, e disse loro: Chi di voi, se gli è caduto l'asino, o il bue nel pozzo, non lo trae subito fuora in giorno di sabato?And ansvvering them he said, Vvhich of you shal haue an asse or an oxe fallen into a pit: and vvil not incontinent dravv him out on the Sabboth day?Et respondens ad illos dixit: Cujus vestrum asinus, aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati ? 6And they could not answer him to these things.Né a tali cose potevano replicargli.And they could not ansvver him to these things.Et non poterant ad hæc respondere illi. 7And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:Disse ancora a' convitali una parabola, osservando com'ei si pigliavano i primi posti, dicendo loro:And he spake to them also that vvere inuited a parable, marking hovv they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them,Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:

8When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:Quando sarai invitato a nozze, non ti mettere a sedere nel primo posto, perché a sorte non sia stato invitato da lui qualcheduno più degno di te;when thou art inuited to a mariage, sit not dovvne in the first place, lest perhaps a more honorable then thou be inuited of him:Cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias, non discumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab illo. 9And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place. And then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.E quegli, che ha invitato te, e lui, venga a dirti: Cedi a questo il luogo: onde allora tu cominci a star con vergogna nell'ultimo posto:and he that bade thee and him, come and say to thee, Giue this man place: and then thou begin vvith shame to take the last place.Et veniens is, qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere. 10But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.Ma quando sarai invitato, va a metterti nell'ultimo luogo: affinchè venendo, chi ti ha invitato, ti dica: Amico, vieni più in su. Ciò allora ti sia d'onore presso tutti i convitati:But vvhen thou art bidden, goe, sit dovvne in the lovvest place: that vvhen he that inuited thee, commeth, he may say to thee, Frende, sit vp higher: then shalt thou haue glorie before them that sit at table vvith thee.Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade, recumbe in novissimo loco: ut, cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus: 11Because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Imperocché chiunque si innalza, sarà umiliato: e chi si umilia, sarà innalzato.because euery one that exalteth him self, shal be humbled: and he that humbleth him self, shal be exalted.quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur. 12And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.Diceva di più a colui, che lo aveva invitato: Quando farai qualche pranzo, o cena, non invitare i tuoi amici, né i tuoi fratelli, né i parenti, né i ricchi vicini: perché a sorte ancor essi non invitino te, e ti sia renduto il contraccambio:And he said to him also that had inuited him, Vvhen thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy frendes, nor thy brethrē, nor kinsmen, nor thy neighbours that are riche: lest perhaps they also inuite thee againe, and recompense be made to thee.Dicebat autem et ei, qui invitaverat: Cum facis prandium, aut cœnam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, neque cognatos, neque vicinos divites: ne forte te et ipsi reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio;

13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind.Ma quando fai qualche festino, chiama i poveri, gli stroppiati, gli zoppi, e ciechi:But vvhen thou makest a feast, cal the poore, feeble, lame, and blinde,sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et cæcos: 14And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.E sarai fortunato, perché non hanno da renderti il contraccambio: conciossiaché il contraccambio ti sarà reso alla risurrezione de' giusti.and thou shalt be blessed, because they haue nor to recōpense thee: for recompense shal be made thee in the resurrection of the iust.et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi: retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione justorum. 15When one of them that sat at table with him had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.Udito questo, dissegli uno de' convitati: Beato colui, che si reficierà nel regno di Dio.Vvhen one of them that sate at the table vvith him, had heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shal eate bread in the kingdom of God.Hæc cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: Beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei. 16But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper and invited many.Ma egli rispose a lui: Un uomo fece una gran cena, e invitò molta gente.But he said to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and called many.At ipse dixit ei: Homo quidam fecit cœnam magnam, et vocavit multos. 17And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come: for now all things are ready.E all'ora della cena mandò un suo servo a dire a' convitati, che andassero, perché tutto era pronto.And he sent his seruant at the houre of supper to say to the inuited, That they should come, because novv al things are ready.Et misit servum suum hora cœnæ dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia jam parata sunt omnia. 18And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm and I must needs go out and see it. I pray thee, hold me excused.E principiarono tutti d'accordo a cullarsi. Il primo dissegli: Ho comprato un podere, e bisogna, che vada a vederlo: di grazia compatiscimi.And they began al at once to make excuse. The first said to him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe forth and see it, I pray thee hold me excused.Et cœperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei: Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam: rogo te, habe me excusatum.

19And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to try them. I pray thee, hold me excused.E un altro disse: Ho comprato cinque gioghi di buoi, e vo a provarli: di grazia compatiscimi.And an other said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them, I pray thee, hold me excused.Et alter dixit: Juga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa: rogo te, habe me excusatum. 20And another said: I have married a wife; and therefore I cannot come.E un altro disse: Ho preso moglie, e perciò non posso venire.And an other said, I haue maried a vvife, and therfore I can not come.Et alius dixit: Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire. 21And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city; and bring in hither the poor and the feeble and the blind and the lame.E tornato il servo, riferì queste cose al suo padrone. Allora sdegnato il padre di famiglia, disse al suo servo: Va' tosto per le piazze, e per le contrade della città: e mena qua dentro i mendici, gli stroppiati, i ciechi, e gli zoppi.And the seruant returning told these things to his lord. Then the maister of the house being angrie, said to his seruant, Goe forth quickly into the streates and lanes of the citie, and the poore and feeble and blinde and lame bring in hither.Et reversus servus nuntiavit hæc domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias, dixit servo suo: Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis: et pauperes, ac debiles, et cæcos, et claudos introduc huc. 22And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded; and yet there is room.E disse il servo: Signore, si è fatto, come hai comandato, ed evvi ancora luogo.And the seruant said, Lord, it is done as thou didst commaunde, and yet there is place.Et ait servus: Domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est. 23And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.E disse il padrone al servo: Va' per le strade, e lungo le siepi: e sforzagli a venire, affinchè si riempia la mie casa.And the lord said to the seruant, Goe forth into the waies and hedges: and compel them to enter, that my house may be filled.Et ait dominus servo: Exi in vias, et sæpes: et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea. 24But I say unto you that none of those men that were invited shall taste of my supper.Imperocché vi dico, che nessuno di coloro, che erano stati invitati, assaggerà la mia cena.But I say to you, that none of those men that vvere called, shal tast my supper.Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt, gustabit cœnam meam.

25And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them:E andava con lui turba grande di popolo: e si rivolse, e disse loro:And great multitudes vvent vvith him: and turning, he said to them,Ibant autem turbæ multæ cum eo: et conversus dixit ad illos: 26If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.Se uno vien da me, e non odia il padre suo, e la madre, e la moglie, e i figliuoli, e i fratelli, e le sorelle, e fin l'anima sua, non può essere mio discepolo.If any man come to me and hateth not his father and mother, and vvife and children, and brethren and sisters, yea and his ovvne life besides: he can not be my disciple.Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus. 27And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.E chi non porta la sua croce, e mi siegue, non può essere mio discepolo.And he that doth not beare his crosse and come after me: cannot be my disciple.Et qui non bajulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus. 28For which of you, having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:Imperocché chi di voi fabbricar volendo una torre, non fa prima a tavolino i conti delle spese, che vi vorranno, e se abbia con che finirla;For, vvhich of you minding to build a toure, doth not first sit dovvne and recken the charges that are necessarie, vvhether he haue to finish it:Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum, 29Lest, after he hath laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,Affinchè, dopo gettate le fondamenta non potendo egli terminarla, non comincino tutti que', che veggono, a burlarsi di lui,lest, after that he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, al that see it, begin to mocke him,ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes qui vident, incipiant illudere ei, 30Saying: This man began to build and was not able to finish.Dicendo: Costui ha principiato a fabbricare, e non ha potuto finire?saying, That this man began to build, and he could not finish it?dicentes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificare, et non potuit consummare ? 31Or, what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?Ovvero qual è quel re, che stando per muover guerra a un altro re non consulti prima a tavolino, se possa con diecimila uomini andar incontro ad uno, che gli vien contro con ventimila?Or vvhat king about to goe to make vvare against an other king, doth not first sit dovvne and thinke vvhether he be able vvith ten thousands to meete him that vvith tvventie thousands commeth against him?Aut quis rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se ?

32Or else, while the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.Altrimenti mentre questi è tuttora lontano, gli spedisce ambasciadori, e lo prega di pace.Othervvise vvhiles he is yet farre of, sending a legacie he asketh those things that belong to peace.Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea quæ pacis sunt. 33So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth cannot be my disciple.Così adunque chiunque di voi non rinunzia a tutto quel, che possiede, non può essere mio discepolo.So therfore euery one of you that doth not renounce al that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus quæ possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus. 34Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?Buona cosa è il sale: ma se il sale diventa scipito, con che condirassi?Salt is good. But if the salt leese his vertue, vvherevvith shal it be seasoned?Bonum est sal: si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur ? 35It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill: but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.Non è a proposito né per la terra né per letame: ma sarà gettato via. Chi ha orecchie da intendere, intenda.It is profitablè neither for the ground, nor for the dunghil, but it shal be cast forth. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
