15 — Luke

1Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.E andavano accostandosi a lui de' pubblicani, e de' peccatori per udirlo.AND there approched Publicans and sinners vnto him for to heare him.Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum. 2And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.E i Farisei, e gli Scribi ne mormoravano, dicendo: Costui si addomestica co' peccatori, e mangia con essi.And the Pharisees and the Scribes murmured saying, That this man receiueth sinners, and eareth vvith them.Et murmurabant pharisæi, et scribæ, dicentes: Quia hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis. 3And he spoke to them this parable, saying:Ed egli propose loro questa parabola, e disse:And he spake to them this parable, saying,Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens: 4What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after that which was lost, until he find it?Chi è tra voi, che avendo cento pecore, e avendone perduta una, non lasci nel deserto le altre novantanove, e non vada a cercar di quella, che si è smarrita, sino a tanto che la ritrovi?Vvhat man of you hauing an hundred sheepe: and if he hath lost one of them, doth he not leaue the ninetie nine in the desert, and goeth after that vvhich vvas lost vntil he finde it?Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quæ perierat, donec inveniat eam ? 5And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing?E trovatala, se la pone sulle spalle allegramente:And vvhen he hath found it, laieth it vpon his shoulders reioycing?Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens: 6And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?E tornato a casa chiama gli amici, e i vicini, dicendo loro: Rallegratevi meco, perché ho trovato la mia pecorella, che si era smarrita?and comming home calleth together his frendes and neighbours, saying to them, Reioyce vvith me, because I haue found my sheepe that vvas lost?et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis: Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quæ perierat. 7I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.Vi dico, che nello stesso modo si farà più festa in cielo per un peccatore, che fa penitenza, che per novantanove giusti, che non hanno bisogno di penitenza.I say to you, that euen so there shal be ioy in heauen vpon one sinner that doth penance, then vpon ninetie nine iust that neede not penance.Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in cælo super uno peccatore pœnitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem justis, qui non indigent pœnitentia.

8Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it?Ovvero qual è quella donna, la quale avendo dieci dramme, perdutane una, non accenda la lucerna, e non iscopi la casa, e non cerchi diligentemente, sino che l'abbia trovata?Or vvhat vvoman hauing ten grotes: if she leese one grote, doth she not light a candle, and svveepe the house, and seeke diligently, vntil she finde?Aut quæ mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quærit diligenter, donec inveniat ? 9And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.E trovatala, chiama le amiche, e le vicine, dicendo: Rallegratevi meco, perché ho ritrovato la dramma perduta.And vvhen she hath found, calleth together her frendes and neighbours, saying, Reioyce vvith me, because I haue found the grote vvhich I had lost?Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens: Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram. 10So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.Così, vi dico, faranno festa gli Angeli di Dio per, un peccatore, che faccia penitenza.So, I say to you, there shal be ioy before the Angels of God vpon one sinner that doth penance.Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore pœnitentiam agente. 11And he said: A certain man had two sons.E soggiunse: Un uomo aveva due figliuoli,And he said, A certaine man had tvvo sonnes:Ait autem: Homo quidam habuit duos filios: 12And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.E il minore di essi disse a suo padre: Padre, dammi la parte de' beni, che mi tocca. Ed egli fece tra loro le parti delle facoltà.and the yonger of them said to his father, Father, giue me the portion of substance that belongeth to me. And he deuided vnto them the substance.et dixit adolescentior ex illis patri: Pater, da mihi portionem substantiæ, quæ me contingit. Et divisit illis substantiam. 13And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.E di lì a pochi giorni, messo il tutto insieme, il figliuolo minore se ne andò in lontano paese, e ivi dissipò tutto il suo in bagordi.And not many daies after the yonger sonne gathering al his things together vvent from home into a farre countrie: and there he vvasted his substance, liuing riotously.Et non post multos dies, congregatis omnibus, adolescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam, et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose.

14And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country: and he began to be in want.E dato che ebbe fondo a ogni cosa, fu gran carestia in quel paese, ed egli principiò a mancare del necessario.And after he had spent al, there fel a sore famine in that countrie, and he began to be in neede.Et postquam omnia consummasset, facta est fames valida in regione illa, et ipse cœpit egere. 15And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.E andò, e si insinuò presso di uno de' cittadini di quel paese; il quale le mandò alla sua villa a fare il guardiano de' porci.And he vvent, and cleaued to one of the citizens of that countrie. And he sent him into his farme to feede svvine.Et abiit, et adhæsit uni civium regionis illius: et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos. 16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.E bramava di empire il ventre delle ghiande, che mangiavano i porci: e nissuno gliene dava.And he vvould faine haue filled his bellie of the huskes that the svvine did eate: and no bodie gaue vnto him.Et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis, quas porci manducabant: et nemo illi dabat. 17And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger!Ma rientrato in se stesso, disse: Quanti mercenarj in casa di mio padre hanno del pane in abbondanza; e io qui mi muojo di fame!And returning to him self he said, Hovv many of my fathers hirelings haue aboundance of bread: and I here perish for famine?In se autem reversus, dixit: Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus, ego autem hic fame pereo ! 18I will arise and will go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee.Mi alzerò, e anderò da mio padre, e dirò a lui: Padre, ho peccato contro del cielo, e contro di te:I vvil arise, and vvil goe to my father, and say to him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen and before thee:surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam ei: Pater, peccavi in cælum, et coram te: 19I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.Non sono ornai degno di esser chiamato tuo figlio: trattami come uno de' tuoi mercenarj.I am not novv vvorthie to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hirelings.jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus: fac me sicut unum de mercenariis tuis. 20And rising up, he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and running to him fell upon his neck and kissed him.E alzatosi andò da suo padre. E mentre egli era tuttora lontano, suo padre lo scorse, e si mosse a pietà, egli corse incontro, e gittogli le braccia il collo, e lo baciò.And rising vp he came to his father. And vvhen he vvas yet farre of, his father savv him, and vvas moued vvith mercie, and running to him fel vpon his necke, and kissed him.Et surgens venit ad patrem suum. Cum autem adhuc longe esset, vidit illum pater ipsius, et misericordia motus est, et accurrens cecidit super collum ejus, et osculatus est eum.

21And the son said to him: Father: I have sinned against heaven and before thee I am not now worthy to be called thy son.E il figliuolo dissegli: Padre, ho peccato contro del cielo, e contro di te: non sono ornai degno di esser chiamato tuo figlio.And his sonne said to him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen & before thee, I am not novv vvorthie to be called thy sonne.Dixitque ei filius: Pater, peccavi in cælum, et coram te: jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus. 22And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe and put it on him: and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet.E il padre disse a' suoi servi: Presto cavate fuori la veste più preziosa, e mettetegliela indosso, e ponetegli al dito l'anello, e i borzacchini a' piedi:And the father said to his seruants, Quickely bring forth the first stole, and doe it on him, and put a ring vpō his hand, and shoes vpon his feete:Dixit autem pater ad servos suos: Cito proferte stolam primam, et induite illum, et date annulum in manum ejus, et calceamenta in pedes ejus: 23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it: and let us eat and make merry:E menate il vitello grasso, e uccidetelo; e si mangi, e si banchetti:and bring the fatted calfe, and kil it, and let vs eate, and make merie:et adducite vitulum saginatum, et occidite, et manducemus, et epulemur: 24Because this my son was dead and is come to life again, was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.Perché questo mio figlio era morto, ed è risuscitato; si era perduto, e si è ritrovato. E cominciarono a banchettare.because this my sonne vvas dead, and is reuiued: vvas lost, and is found. And they began to make merie.quia hic filius meus mortuus erat, et revixit: perierat, et inventus est. Et cœperunt epulari. 25Now his elder son was in the field and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.Or il figliuolo maggiore era alla campagna, e nel ritorno avvicinandosi a casa sentì i concerti, e i balli:But his elder sonne vvas in the field. and vvhen he came and drevv nigh to the house, he heard musicke and dauncing:Erat autem filius ejus senior in agro: et cum veniret, et appropinquaret domui, audivit symphoniam et chorum: 26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.E chiamò uno de' servi, e gli domandò, che fosse questo.and he called one of the seruants, and asked vvhat these thinges should be.et vocavit unum de servis, et interrogavit quid hæc essent. 27And he said to him: Thy brother is come and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.E quegli rispose: È tornato tuo fratello, e tuo padre ha ammazzato un vitello grasso, perché lo ha riavuto sano.And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calfe, because he hath receiued him safe.Isque dixit illi: Frater tuus venit, et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum, quia salvum illum recepit.

28And he was angry and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.Ed egli andò in collera, e non voleva entrare. Il padre adunque usci fuora, e cominciò a pregarlo.But he had indignation, and vvould not goe in. His father therfore going forth began to desire him.Indignatus est autem, et nolebat introire. Pater ergo illius egressus, cœpit rogare illum. 29And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee and I have never transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends.Ma quegli rispose, e disse a suo padre: Sono già tanti anni, che io ti servo, e non ho mai trasgredito un tuo comando, e non mi hai dato giammai un capretto, che me lo godessi co' miei amici:But he ansvvering said to his father, Behold, so many yeres doe I serue thee, and I neuer transgressed thy commaundement, and thou didst neuer giue me a kidde to make merie vvith my frendes:At ille respondens, dixit patri suo: Ecce tot annis servio tibi, et numquam mandatum tuum præterivi: et numquam dedisti mihi hædum ut cum amicis meis epularer. 30But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.Ma dacché è venuto questo tuo figliuolo, che ha divorato il suo con donne di mala vita, hai ammazzato per lui il vitello grasso.but after that thy sonne, this that hath deuoured his substance vvith whoores, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calfe.Sed postquam filius tuus hic, qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus, venit, occidisti illi vitulum saginatum. 31But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me; and all I have is thine.Ma il padre gli disse: Figlio, tu se' sempre meco, e tutto quello, che ho, è tuo:But he said to him, Sonne, thou art alvvaies vvith me, and al my things are thine.At ipse dixit illi: Fili, tu semper mecum es, et omnia mea tua sunt: 32But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.Ma era giusto di banchettare, e di far festa, perché questo tuo fratello era morto, ed è risuscitato; si era perduto, e si è ritrovato.But it behoued vs to make merie and be glad, because this thy brother vvas dead, and is reuiued, vvas lost, and is found.epulari autem, et gaudere oportebat, quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat, et revixit; perierat, et inventus est.
