8

1[] Και μετα ταυτα διηρχετο αυτος πασαν πολιν και κωμην, κηρυττων και ευαγγελιζομενος την βασιλειαν του Θεου, και οι δωδεκα ησαν μετ' αυτου,
1It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
2και γυναικες τινες, αιτινες ησαν τεθεραπευμεναι απο πνευματων πονηρων και ασθενειων, Μαρια η καλουμενη Μαγδαληνη, εκ της οποιας ειχον εκβη επτα δαιμονια,
2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3και Ιωαννα η γυνη του Χουζα, επιτροπου του Ηρωδου, και Σουσαννα και αλλαι πολλαι, αιτινες διηκονουν αυτον απο των υπαρχοντων αυτων.
3and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions.
4[] Επειδη δε συνετρεχεν οχλος πολυς και ηρχοντο προς αυτον απο πασης πολεως, ειπε δια παραβολης·
4When a great multitude came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
5Εξηλθεν ο σπειρων, δια να σπειρη τον σπορον αυτου. Και ενω εσπειρεν, αλλο μεν επεσε παρα την οδον και κατεπατηθη, και τα πετεινα του ουρανου κατεφαγον αυτο·
5 “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6αλλο δε επεσεν επι την πετραν και αναφυεν εξηρανθη, διοτι δεν ειχεν ικμαδα·
6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7και αλλο επεσεν εις το μεσον των ακανθων, και συμφυτρωσασαι αι ακανθαι απεπνιξαν αυτο·
7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
8και αλλο επεσεν επι την γην την αγαθην, και αναφυεν εκαμε καρπον εκατονταπλασιονα. Ταυτα λεγων, εφωναζεν· Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη, ας ακουη.
8 Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9Ηρωτων δε αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες· Τι σημαινει η παραβολη αυτη;
9Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10Ο δε ειπεν· Εις εσας εδοθη να γνωρισητε τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας του Θεου, εις δε τους λοιπους δια παραβολων, δια να μη βλεπωσιν ενω βλεπουσι και να μη καταλαμβανωσιν ενω ακουουσιν.
10He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11Αυτη δε ειναι η παραβολη· Ο σπορος ειναι ο λογος του Θεου·
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12οι δε σπειρομενοι παρα την οδον ειναι οι ακουοντες, επειτα ερχεται ο διαβολος και αφαιρει τον λογον απο της καρδιας αυτων, δια να μη πιστευσωσι και σωθωσιν.
12 Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13Οι δε επι της πετρας ειναι εκεινοι οιτινες, οταν ακουσωσι, μετα χαρας δεχονται τον λογον, και ουτοι ριζαν δεν εχουσιν, οιτινες προς καιρον πιστευουσι και εν καιρω πειρασμου αποστατουσι.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14Το δε πεσον εις τας ακανθας, ουτοι ειναι εκεινοι οιτινες ηκουσαν, και υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων του βιου υπαγουσι και συμπνιγονται και δεν τελεσφορουσι.
14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
15Το δε εις την καλην γην, ουτοι ειναι εκεινοι, οιτινες ακουσαντες τον λογον, κρατουσιν εν καρδια καλη και αγαθη και καρποφορουσιν εν υπομονη.
15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16Ουδεις δε λυχνον αναψας, σκεπαζει αυτον με σκευος και θετει υποκατω κλινης, αλλα θετει επι του λυχνοστατου, δια να βλεπωσι το φως οι εισερχομενοι.
16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17Διοτι δεν υπαρχει κρυπτον, το οποιον δεν θελει γεινει φανερον; ουδε αποκρυφον, το οποιον δεν θελει γεινει γνωστον και ελθει εις το φανερον.
17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
18Προσεχετε λοιπον πως ακουετε· διοτι οστις εχει, θελει δοθη εις αυτον, και οστις δεν εχει, και εκεινο το οποιον νομιζει οτι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.
18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19Ηλθον δε προς αυτον η μητηρ και οι αδελφοι αυτου και δεν ηδυναντο δια τον οχλον να πλησιασωσιν αυτον.
19His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20Και απηγγελθη προς αυτον υπο τινων λεγοντων· Η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου ιστανται εξω θελοντες να σε ιδωσιν.
20It was told him by some saying, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους· Μητηρ μου και αδελφοι μου ειναι ουτοι, οι ακουοντες τον λογον του Θεου και πραττοντες αυτον.
21But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.”
22[] Και εν μια των ημερων εισηλθεν εις πλοιον αυτος και οι μαθηται αυτου, και ειπε προς αυτους· Ας διελθωμεν εις το περαν της λιμνης· και εσηκωθησαν.
22Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23Ενω δε επλεον, απεκοιμηθη. Και κατεβη ανεμοστροβιλος εις την λιμνην, και εγεμιζετο το πλοιον και εκινδυνευον.
23But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24Προσελθοντες δε εξυπνησαν αυτον, λεγοντες· Επιστατα, Επιστατα, χανομεθα. Ο δε σηκωθεις επετιμησε τον ανεμον και την ταραχην του υδατος, και επαυσαν, και εγεινε γαληνη.
24They came to him, and awoke him, saying, “Master, master, we are dying!” He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
25Ειπε δε προς αυτους, που ειναι η πιστις σας; Και φοβηθεντες εθαυμασαν, λεγοντες προς αλληλους· Τις λοιπον ειναι ουτος, οτι και τους ανεμους προσταζει και το υδωρ, και υπακουουσιν εις αυτον;
25He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, “Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26Και κατεπλευσαν εις την χωραν των Γαδαρηνων, ητις ειναι αντιπεραν της Γαλιλαιας.
26They arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27Και καθως εξηλθεν επι την γην, υπηντησεν αυτον ανθρωπος τις εκ της πολεως, οστις ειχε δαιμονια απο χρονων πολλων, και ιματιον δεν ενεδυετο και εν οικια δεν εμενεν, αλλ' εν τοις μνημασιν.
27When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
28Ιδων δε τον Ιησουν, ανεκραξε και προσεπεσεν εις αυτον και μετα φωνης μεγαλης ειπε· Τι ειναι μεταξυ εμου και σου, Ιησου, Υιε του Θεου του Υψιστου; δεομαι σου, μη με βασανισης.
28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29Διοτι προσεταξεν εις το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον να εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου. Επειδη προ πολλων χρονων ειχε συναρπασει αυτον, και εδεσμευετο με αλυσεις και εφυλαττετο με ποδοδεσμα και διασπων τα δεσμα, εφερετο υπο του δαιμονος εις τας ερημους.
29For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30Και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο Ιησους, λεγων· Τι ειναι το ονομα σου; Ο δε ειπε· Λεγεων· διοτι δαιμονια πολλα εισηλθον εις αυτον·
30Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31και παρεκαλουν αυτον να μη προσταξη αυτα να απελθωσιν εις την αβυσσον.
31They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
32Ητο δε εκει αγελη χοιρων πολλων βοσκομενων εν τω ορει· και παρεκαλουν αυτον να επιτρεψη εις αυτα να εισελθωσιν εις εκεινους· και επετρεψεν εις αυτα.
32Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
33Εξελθοντα δε τα δαιμονια απο του ανθρωπου, εισηλθον εις τους χοιρους, και ωρμησεν η αγελη κατα του κρημνου εις την λιμνην και απεπνιγη.
33The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
34Ιδοντες δε οι βοσκοι το γενομενον εφυγον, και απελθοντες απηγγειλαν εις την πολιν και εις τους αγρους.
34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35Και εξηλθον δια να ιδωσι το γεγονος, και ηλθον προς τον Ιησουν και ευρον τον ανθρωπον, εκ του οποιου ειχον εξελθει τα δαιμονια, καθημενον παρα τους ποδας του Ιησου, ενδεδυμενον και σωφρονουντα· και εφοβηθησαν.
35People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36Διηγηθησαν δε προς αυτους και οι ιδοντες πως εσωθη ο δαιμονιζομενος.
36Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37Και απαν το πληθος της περιχωρου των Γαδαρηνων παρεκαλεσαν αυτον να αναχωρηση απ' αυτων, διοτι κατειχοντο υπο μεγαλου φοβου, αυτος δε εμβας εις το πλοιον υπεστρεψεν.
37All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. He entered into the boat, and returned.
38Ο δε ανθρωπος, εκ του οποιου ειχον εξελθει τα δαιμονια, παρεκαλει αυτον να ηναι μετ' αυτου· ο Ιησους ομως απελυσεν αυτον, λεγων.
38But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39Επιστρεψον εις τον οικον σου και διηγου οσα εκαμεν εις σε ο Θεος· και ανεχωρησε κηρυττων καθ' ολην την πολιν οσα εκαμεν εις αυτον ο Ιησους.
39 “Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40[] Οτε δε υπεστρεψεν ο Ιησους, υπεδεχθη αυτον ο οχλος· διοτι παντες ησαν περιμενοντες αυτον.
40It happened, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41Και ιδου, ηλθεν ανθρωπος ονομαζομενος Ιαειρος, οστις ητο αρχων της συναγωγης και πεσων εις τους ποδας του Ιησου, παρεκαλει αυτον να εισελθη εις τον οικον αυτου,
41Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet, and begged him to come into his house,
42διοτι ειχε θυγατερα μονογενη ως ετων δωδεκα, και αυτη απεθνησκεν. Ενω δε επορευετο, οι οχλοι συνεθλιβον αυτον.
42for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43Και γυνη τις εχουσα ρυσιν αιματος δωδεκα ετη, ητις δαπανησασα εις ιατρους ολον τον βιον αυτης δεν ηδυνηθη να θεραπευθη υπ' ουδενος,
43A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians, and could not be healed by any,
44πλησιασασα οπισθεν ηγγισε το ακρον του ιματιου αυτου, και παρευθυς εσταθη η ρυσις του αιματος αυτης.
44came behind him, and touched the fringe of his cloak, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45Και ειπεν ο Ιησους· Τις μου ηγγισε; και ενω ηρνουντο παντες, ειπεν ο Πετρος και οι μετ' αυτου· Επιστατα, οι οχλοι σε συμπιεζουσι και σε συνθλιβουσι, και λεγεις· Τις μου ηγγισεν;
45Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’
46Ο δε Ιησους ειπε· Μου ηγγισε τις· διοτι εγω ενοησα οτι εξηλθε δυναμις απ' εμου.
46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47Ιδουσα δε η γυνη οτι δεν εκρυφθη, ηλθε τρεμουσα και προσπεσουσα εις αυτον, απηγγειλε προς αυτον ενωπιον παντος του λαου δια ποιαν αιτιαν ηγγισεν αυτον, και οτι παρευθυς ιατρευθη.
47When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48Ο δε ειπε προς αυτην· Θαρρει, θυγατερ, η πιστις σου σε εσωσεν· υπαγε εις ειρηνην.
48He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49Ενω δε ελαλει ετι, ερχεται τις παρα του αρχισυναγωγου, λεγων προς αυτον οτι απεθανεν η θυγατηρ σου· μη ενοχλει τον Διδασκαλον.
49While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
50Ο δε Ιησους ακουσας απεκριθη προς αυτον, λεγων· Μη φοβου· μονον πιστευε, και θελει σωθη.
50But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51Και οτε εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, δεν αφηκεν ουδενα να εισελθη ειμη τον Πετρον και Ιακωβον και Ιωαννην και τον πατερα της κορης και την μητερα.
51When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52Εκλαιον δε παντες και εθρηνουν αυτην. Ο δε ειπε· Μη κλαιετε· δεν απεθανεν, αλλα κοιμαται.
52All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53Και κατεγελων αυτον, εξευροντες οτι απεθανεν.
53They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54Αλλ' αυτος εκβαλων εξω παντας και πιασας την χειρα αυτης, εφωναξε λεγων· Κορασιον, σηκωθητι.
54But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55Και υπεστρεψε το πνευμα αυτης, και ανεστη παρευθυς, και προσεταξε να δοθη εις αυτην να φαγη.
55Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56Και εξεπλαγησαν οι γονεις αυτης. Ο δε παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους να μη ειπωσιν εις μηδενα το γεγονος.
56Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
