43 E avendo compiuti i giorni d'essa, quando se ne tornavano, il fanciullo Gesù rimase in Gerusalemme, senza la saputa di Giuseppe nè della madre d' esso. 44 E, stimando ch' egli fosse fra la compagnia, camminarono una giornata; e allora si misero a cercarlo fra i lor parenti, e fra i lor conoscenti. 45 E non avendolo trovato, tornarono in Gerusalemme, cercandolo. 46 E avvenne che, tre giorni appresso, lo trovaron nel tempio, sedendo in mezzo de' dottori, ascoltandoli, e facendo loro delle domande. 47 E tutti coloro che l' udivano stupivano del suo senno, e delle sue risposte. 48 E, quando essi lo videro, sbigottirono. E sua madre gli disse: Figliuolo, perchè ci hai fatto così? ecco, tuo padre ed io ti cercavamo, essendo in gran travaglio. 49 Ma egli disse loro: Perchè mi cercavate? non sapevate voi ch' egli mi conviene attendere alle cose del Padre mio? 50 Ed essi non intesero le parole ch' egli avea lor dette. 51 Ed egli discese con loro, e venne in Nazaret, ed era loro soggetto. E sua madre riserbava tutte queste parole nel suo cuore. 52 E Gesù si avanzava in sapienza, e in istatura, e in grazia appo Dio, e appo gli uomini. CAPO 3. R nell' anno quintodecimo del essendo Ponzio Pilato, governator della Giudea; ed Erode, tetrarca della Galilea; e Filippo, suo fratello, tetrarca dell' Iturea, e della contrada Traconitida; e Lisania, tetrarca di Abilene; 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. CHAPTER 3. TOW in the fifteenth year of the tius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Sotto Anna, e Caiafa, sommi 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the sacerdoti; la parola di Dio fu indi-high priests, the word of God came rizzata a Giovanni, figliuol di Zac- unto John the son of Zacharias in caria, nel deserto. the wilderness. 3 Ed egli venne per tutta la contrada d' intorno al Giordano, 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the bap predicando il battesimo della penitenza, in remission de' peccati; 4 Siccome egli è scritto nel libro delle parole del profeta Isaia, dicendo: Vi è una voce d' uno, che grida nel deserto: Acconciate la via del Signore, addirizzate i suoi sentieri. 5 Sia ripiena ogni valle, e sia abbassato ogni monte, ed ogni colle; e sieno ridirizzati i luoghi distorti, e le vie aspre appianate; 6 E ogni carne vedrà la salute di Dio. 7 Egli adunque diceva alle turbe, che uscivano per esser da lui battezzate: Progenie di vipere, chi vi ha mostrato a fuggir dall' ira a venire? 8 Fate adunque frutti degni di pentimento; e non prendete a dir fra voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abrahamo per padre; perciocchè io vi dico che Iddio può, eziandio di queste pietre, far sorgere de' figliuoli ad Abrahamo. 9 Or già è posta la scure alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero adunque che non fa buon frutto sarà di presente tagliato, e gettato nel fuoco. 10 E le turbe lo domandarono, dicendo: Che faremo noi dunque ? 11 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Chi ha due veste ne faccia parte a chi non ne ha; e chi ha da mangiare faccia il simigliante. 12 Or vennero ancora de' pubblicani, per essere battezzati, e gli dissero: Maestro, che dobbiam noi fare? 13 Ed egli disse loro: Non riscotete nulla più di ciò che vi è stato ordinato. 14 I soldati ancora lo domandarono, dicendo: E noi, che dobbiam fare? Ed egli disse loro: Non fate storsione ad alcuno, e non oppressate alcuno per calunnia; e contentatevi del vostro soldo. 15 Ora, stando il popolo in aspettazione, e ragionando tutti ne' lor cuori, intorno a Giovanni, se egli sarebbe punto il Cristo, tism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 16 Giovanni rispose, dicendo a tutti: Ben vi battezzo io con acqua; ma colui ch'è più forte di me, di cui io non son degno di sciogliere il correggiuol delle scarpe, viene; esso vi battezzerà con lo Spirito Santo, e col fuoco. 17 Egli ha la sua ventola in mano, e netterà interamente l' aia sua, e raccoglierà il grano nel suo granaio; ma arderà la paglia col fuoco inestinguibile. 18 Così egli evangelizzava al popolo, esortandolo per molti altri ragionamenti. 19 Ora, Erode il tetrarca, essendo da lui ripreso per Erodiada, moglie di Filippo, suo fratello; e per tutti i mali ch' egli avea commessi ; 20 Aggiunse ancora questo a tutti gli altri, ch' egli rinchiuse Giovanni in prigione. 21 Ora avvenne che, mentre tutto il popolo era battezzato, Gesù ancora, essendo stato battezzato, ed orando, il cielo si aperse; 22 E lo Spirito Santo scese sopra di lui, in forma corporale, a guisa di colomba; e venne una voce dal cielo, dicendo: Tu sei il mio diletto Figliuolo; in te ho preso il mio compiacimento. 23 E Gesù cominciava ad esser come di trent'anni; figliuolo, come si stimava, di Giuseppe, figliuolo di Eli; 24 Figliuol di Mattat, figliuol di Levi, figliuol di Melchi, figliuol di Ianna, figliuol di Giuseppe; 25 Figliuol di Mattatia, figliuol di Amos, figliuol di Naum, figliuol Esli, figliuol di Nagghe; 16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, 24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 25 Which was the son of Mattadi│thias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 26 Figliuol di Maat, figliuol di Mattatia, figliuol di Semei, figliuol di Giuseppe, figliuol di Giuda; 27 Figliuol di Ioanna, figliuol di Resa, figliuol di Zorobabel, figliuol di Salatiel, figliuol di Neri; 26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, 31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, 32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, 33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, 34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, 36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, 37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. 149 OR CAPO 4. R Gesù, ripieno dello Spirito Santo, se ne ritornò dal Giordano; e fu sospinto dallo Spirito nel deserto; 2 E fu quivi tentato dal diavolo quaranta giorni; e in que' giorni non mangiò nulla; ma, dopo che quelli furon compiuti, infine egli ebbe fame. 3 E il diavolo gli disse: Se tu sei Figliuol di Dio, di' a questa pietra che divenga pane. 4 E Gesù gli rispose, dicendo: Egli è scritto: L'uomo non vive di pan solo, ma d' ogni parola di Dio. 5 E il diavolo, menatolo sopra un alto monte, gli mostrò in un momento di tempo tutti i regni del mondo. 6 E il diavolo gli disse: Io ti darò tutta la podestà di questi regni, e la gloria loro; perciocchè ella mi è stata data in mano, ed io la do a cui voglio. 7 Se dunque tu mi adori, tutta sarà tua. 8 Ma Gesù, rispondendo, gli disse: Vattene indietro da me, Satana. Egli è scritto: Adora il Signore Iddio tuo, e servi a lui solo. 9 Egli lo menò ancora in Gerusalemme; e lo pose sopra l'orlo del tetto del tempio, e gli disse: Se tu sei il Figliuol di Dio, gettati giù di qui; 10 Perciocchè egli è scritto: Egli darà commissione di te a' suoi angeli, che ti guardino; 11 Ed essi ti leveranno nelle lor mani, che talora tu non t' intoppi del piè in alcuna pietra. 12 E Gesù, rispondendo, gli disse: Egli è stato detto: Non tentare il Signore Iddio tuo. 13 E il diavolo, finita tutta la tentazione, si partì da lui, infino ad un certo tempo. 14 E Gesù nella virtù dello Spirito, se ne tornò in Galilea; e la fama di esso andò per tutta la contrada circonvicina. CHAPTER 4. ANDH Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If' thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: 10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. |
