9
Καὶ μεταβὰς ἐκεῖθεν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτῶν·
Allontanatosi di là, andò nella loro sinagoga;
And passing on from there he came into their synagogue (bet knesset)ⓘ.
10
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος χεῖρα ἔχων ξηράν. καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν αὐτὸν λέγοντες· Εἰ ἔξεστι τοῖς σάββασιν θεραπεύειν; ἵνα κατηγορήσωσιν αὐτοῦ.
ed ecco, c'era un uomo che aveva una mano paralizzata. Per accusarlo, domandarono a Gesù: "È lecito guarire in giorno di sabato?".
And behold, a man who had a withered handⓘ. And they questioned him, saying: «Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbathⓘ?» — the saving of lifeⓘ suspends the rest, but the withered hand is not a danger to life: the question is whether non-urgent care is permitted — so that they might accuse him.
11
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τίς ἔσται ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἕξει πρόβατον ἕν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐμπέσῃ τοῦτο τοῖς σάββασιν εἰς βόθυνον, οὐχὶ κρατήσει αὐτὸ καὶ ἐγερεῖ;
Ed egli rispose loro: "Chi di voi, se possiede una pecora e questa, in giorno di sabato, cade in un fosso, non l'afferra e la tira fuori?
He said to them: «What man among you who has a single sheep, and this falls into a pit on the Sabbathⓘ, will not take hold of it and pull it out?» — an argument from the lesser to the greaterⓘ: the Pharisaic halakhahⓘ allowed it, while the Essenesⓘ prohibited it.
12
πόσῳ οὖν διαφέρει ἄνθρωπος προβάτου. ὥστε ἔξεστιν τοῖς σάββασιν καλῶς ποιεῖν.
Ora, un uomo vale ben più di una pecora! Perciò è lecito in giorno di sabato fare del bene".
«How much more, then, is a man worth than a sheepⓘ! Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbath to do goodⓘ», an echo of the saying «the Sabbath is given to you, not you to the Sabbath»ⓘ.
13
τότε λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ· Ἔκτεινόν σου τὴν χεῖρα· καὶ ἐξέτεινεν, καὶ ἀπεκατεστάθη ὑγιὴς ὡς ἡ ἄλλη.
E disse all'uomo: "Tendi la tua mano". Egli la tese e quella ritornò sana come l'altra.
Then he says to the man: «Stretch out your handⓘ.» And he stretched it out, and it was restored soundⓘ like the other.
14
ἐξελθόντες δὲ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι συμβούλιον ἔλαβον κατ' αὐτοῦ ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν.
Allora i farisei uscirono e tennero consiglio contro di lui per farlo morire.
The Pharisees (perushim)ⓘ, the observant Separated ones, having gone out took counselⓘ against him so that they might destroy himⓘ.
15
Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς γνοὺς ἀνεχώρησεν ἐκεῖθεν. καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ πολλοί, καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς πάντας,
Gesù però, avendolo saputo, si allontanò di là. Molti lo seguirono ed egli li guarì tutti
Jesus, having known it, withdrew from thereⓘ; and many followed him, and he healed them all,
16
καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ φανερὸν αὐτὸν ποιήσωσιν,
e impose loro di non divulgarlo,
and he chargedⓘ them that they should not make him knownⓘ —
17
ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·
perché si compisse ciò che era stato detto per mezzo del profeta Isaia:
so that what was spoken through Isaiahⓘ the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:
18
Ἰδοὺ ὁ παῖς μου ὃν ᾑρέτισα, ὁ ἀγαπητός μου εἰς ὃν εὐδόκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου· θήσω τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐπ' αὐτόν, καὶ κρίσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἀπαγγελεῖ.
Ecco il mio servo, che io ho scelto; il mio amato, nel quale ho posto il mio compiacimento. Porrò il mio spirito sopra di lui e annuncerà alle nazioni la giustizia.
«Behold my servantⓘ, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul was well pleasedⓘ: I will put my Spiritⓘ upon him, and he will proclaim justiceⓘ to the gentilesⓘ.
19
οὐκ ἐρίσει οὐδὲ κραυγάσει, οὐδὲ ἀκούσει τις ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
Non contesterà né griderà né si udrà nelle piazze la sua voce.
He will not contend nor cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the squares.
20
κάλαμον συντετριμμένον οὐ κατεάξει καὶ λίνον τυφόμενον οὐ σβέσει, ἕως ἂν ἐκβάλῃ εἰς νῖκος τὴν κρίσιν.
Non spezzerà una canna già incrinata, non spegnerà una fiamma smorta, finché non abbia fatto trionfare la giustizia;
A cracked reed he will not breakⓘ and a smoldering wick he will not quenchⓘ, until he brings justice to victoryⓘ.
21
καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσιν.
nel suo nome spereranno le nazioni.
And in his name the gentiles will hopeⓘ» — the meek Servant-Mashiachⓘ against the military expectations.
