33
Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν· Οἱ μαθηταὶ Ἰωάννου νηστεύουσιν πυκνὰ καὶ δεήσεις ποιοῦνται, ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ τῶν Φαρισαίων, οἱ δὲ σοὶ ἐσθίουσιν καὶ πίνουσιν.
Allora gli dissero: «I discepoli di Giovanni digiunano spesso e fanno preghiere, così pure i discepoli dei farisei; i tuoi invece mangiano e bevono!».
Then they said to him: «The disciples disciplesⓘ of John often practice voluntary fasting (ta'anit) voluntary fastingⓘ and offer prayers of supplication (tachanunim) prayers of supplicationⓘ, and likewise also those of the Pharisees (perushim), the observant ones set apart for purity Phariseesⓘ; but yours eat and drink eat and drinkⓘ».
34
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· Μὴ δύνασθε τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ νυμφῶνος ἐν ᾧ ὁ νυμφίος μετ' αὐτῶν ἐστιν ποιῆσαι νηστεύειν;
Gesù rispose loro: «Potete forse far digiunare gli invitati a nozze quando lo sposo è con loro?
But Jesus said to them: «Can you make the companions of the bridegroom (bené ha-chuppah) companions of the bridegroomⓘ fast while the bridegroom (chatan) bridegroomⓘ is with them?
35
ἐλεύσονται δὲ ἡμέραι, καὶ ὅταν ἀπαρθῇ ἀπ' αὐτῶν ὁ νυμφίος, τότε νηστεύσουσιν ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις.
Ma verranno giorni quando lo sposo sarà loro tolto: allora in quei giorni digiuneranno».
But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away taken awayⓘ from them, and then they will fast will fastⓘ in those days».
36
Ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ παραβολὴν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὅτι Οὐδεὶς ἐπίβλημα ἀπὸ ἱματίου καινοῦ σχίσας ἐπιβάλλει ἐπὶ ἱμάτιον παλαιόν· εἰ δὲ μήγε, καὶ τὸ καινὸν σχίσει καὶ τῷ παλαιῷ οὐ συμφωνήσει τὸ ἐπίβλημα τὸ ἀπὸ τοῦ καινοῦ.
Diceva loro anche una parabola: «Nessuno strappa un pezzo da un vestito nuovo per metterlo su un vestito vecchio; altrimenti il nuovo lo strappa e al vecchio non si adatta il pezzo preso dal nuovo.
He also told them a mashal mashalⓘ, a similitude: «No one, having torn a patch from a new garment new garmentⓘ, puts it on an old garment; otherwise the new one will tear, and to the old the patch taken from the new will not match.
37
καὶ οὐδεὶς βάλλει οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς· εἰ δὲ μήγε, ῥήξει ὁ οἶνος ὁ νέος τοὺς ἀσκοὺς καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκχυθήσεται καὶ οἱ ἀσκοὶ ἀπολοῦνται·
E nessuno versa vino nuovo in otri vecchi; altrimenti il vino nuovo spaccherà gli otri, si spanderà e gli otri andranno perduti.
And no one puts new wine new wineⓘ, freshly fermented, into old wineskins old wineskinsⓘ already taut; otherwise the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled and the wineskins will be ruined.
38
ἀλλὰ οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς καινοὺς βλητέον.
Il vino nuovo bisogna versarlo in otri nuovi.
But new wine must be put into new wineskins new wineskinsⓘ, elastic and able to expand.
39
[καὶ] οὐδεὶς πιὼν παλαιὸν θέλει νέον· λέγει γάρ· Ὁ παλαιὸς χρηστός ἐστιν.
Nessuno poi che beve il vino vecchio desidera il nuovo, perché dice: 'Il vecchio è gradevole!'».
And no one, having drunk old aged wine, wants new wine at once; for he says: The old is pleasant pleasantⓘ, good and familiar».
