Lukas 14
1 Guertha cedin halaber hura ethorri cenean Phariseuetaco principal baten etchera Sabbathoan bere refectionearen hartzera, hec gogoa emaiten baitzeraucaten.
One Sabbath Jesus went to have a meal at the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees where they watched him closely.
2 Eta huná, guiçon hydropicobat cen haren aitzinean.
A man was there whose arms and legs were swollen.
3 Orduan ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén Legueco doctorey eta Phariseuey, cioela, Sori da Sabbathoan sendatzea?
So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath, or not?”
4 Eta hec ichilic egon citecen, Eta harc hura harturic senda ceçan, eta igor ceçan.
But they kept quiet. Jesus touched the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
5 Eta ihardesten cerauela, erran ceçan, Ceinec çuetaric astoa edo idia putzura eror badaquió, eztu bertan hura idoquiren Sabbath egunean?
Then Jesus said to them, “If your son or your ox happened to fall into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn't you go and pull him out immediately?”
6 Eta ecin gauça hauén gainean ihardets ceçaqueoten.
They weren't able to give an answer.
7 Erraiten cerauen halaber gomitatu içan ciradeney comparationebat, gogoatzen çuela nola lehen iarlekuéz hautatzen ciraden, ciostela,
So he told a story to the guests, noticing how they'd chosen to sit in places of honor.
8 Norbeitec dei açanean ezteyetara, ezadila iar lehen lekuan, guertha eztadin, hi baino ohoratuagobat harc deithu duen:
“When you're invited to a wedding reception, don't take the place of honor, because someone more important than you may have been invited,” he began.
9 Eta ethorriric hura eta hi deithu çaituztenac erran dieçán, Emóc huni lekua: eta orduan has ezadin ahalquerequin azquen lekuaren eduquiten.
“Your host who invited you both will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then in embarrassment you'll have to move to whatever place is left.
10 Baina gomitatu aicenean, habil, iar adi azquen lekuan: dathorrenean hi gomitatu auenac erran dieçançat, Adisquideá, igan adi gorago: orduan duquec ohore hirequin mahainean iarriric daudenén aitzinean.
Instead, when you're invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he'll tell you, ‘My friend, please move to a better seat.’ Then you'll be honored before all the guests sitting with you.
11 Ecen bere buruä goratzen duen gucia, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheratzen duena, goraturen da.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
12 Eta bera gomitatu çuenari-ere erraiten ceraucan, Eguiten duanean barazcaribat edo affaribat, eztitzala dei eure adisquideac, ez eure anayeac, ez eure ahaideac, ez auço abratsac, hec ere aldiz bere aldetic gomita ezeçatençát, eta ordaina renda eztaquián.
Then he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, for they may invite you back, and then you'd be repaid.
13 Baina eguiten duanean banquetbat, dei itzac paubreac, impotentac, mainguäc, itsuac:
Instead, when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
14 Eta dohatsu içanen aiz: ceren ezpaitute nondic hiri ordaina renda: ecen hiri rendaturen çaic ordaina iustoén resurrectionean.
and you will be blessed, for they have nothing to repay you with, and you'll be rewarded at the resurrection of the good.”
15 Eta gauça hauc ençunic harequin mahainean iarriric ceudenetaric batec erran cieçón, Dohatsu duc Iaincoaren resumán ogui ianen duena.
When one of them eating at the table with Jesus heard this, he said to Jesus, “How wonderful it will be for those who feast in the kingdom of God!”
16 Eta harc erran cieçón, Guiçon batec eguin ceçan affari handibat, eta dei ceçan anhitz:
“Once there was a man who prepared a great banquet, and invited many guests,” Jesus replied.
17 Eta igor ceçan bere cerbitzaria affal ordutan, gomitatuey erraitera, Çatozte, ecen gauça guciac prest dirade.
“When it was time to eat he sent his servant out to tell everyone who had been invited, ‘Come, because the banquet's ready.’
18 Baina guciac has citecen consentimendu batez excusatzen. Lehenac erran cieçón, Possessionebat erossi diat, eta haren ikustera ilki behar diat: othoitz eguiten drauat, eduqui neçac excusatutan.
But they all started to make excuses. The first said, ‘I've just bought a field and I have to go and see it. Please excuse me.’
19 Eta berceac erran ceçan, Borz idi vztarri erossi citiat, eta banihoac hayén phorogatzera: othoitz eguiten drauat eduqui neçac excusatutan.
Another said, ‘I've just bought five pairs of oxen and have to go and try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said,
20 Eta berceac erran ceçan, Emazte hartu diat, eta halacotz ecin niathorrec.
‘I've just got married, so I can't come.’
21 Eta itzuliric cerbitzari harc conta cietzón gauça hauc bere nabussiari. Orduan asserreturic aitafamiliác erran cieçón bere cerbitzariari, Habil fitetz placetara, eta hirico carriquetara, eta paubreac eta impotentac, eta mainguäc eta itsuac huna barnera erekar itzac.
The servant returned and told his master what they'd said. The home-owner became angry and told his servant, ‘Quickly, go out into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 Eta erran ceçan cerbitzariac, Nabussiá, eguin içan duc, manatu duán beçala eta oraino baduc leku.
Then the servant said, ‘Master, I did what you told me, but there are still empty places.’
23 Orduan erran cieçón nabussiac cerbitzariari, Oha bidetara eta berroetara, eta bortchaitzac, sartzera bethe dadinçát ene etchea.
So the master told the servant, ‘Go out on the country roads and lanes, and make people come—I want my house to be full.
24 Ecen erraiten drauçuet, guiçon deithu içan ciraden hetaric batec-ere eztuela ene affaritic dastaturen.
I tell you, not a single one of those people I invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
25 Eta gendetze handiac ioaiten ciraden harequin: eta itzuliric erran ciecén.
A large crowd was accompanying Jesus. He turned to them and said,
26 Baldin nehor enegana ethorten bada eta gaitzesten ezpaditu bere aita eta amá, eta emaztea eta haourrac, eta anayeac eta arrebác, etare guehiago bere arima-ere, ecin date ene discipulu.
“If you want to follow me but you don't hate your father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters—even your own life—you can't be my disciple.
27 Eta norc-ere ezpaitacarque bere crutzea, eta ene ondoan ethorten ezpaita, ecin date ene discipulu.
If you don't carry your cross and follow me, you can't be my disciple.
28 Ecen cein da çuetaric dorrebat edificatu nahi duenic, lehen iarriric gostuac contatzen eztituena, eya acabatzeco baduenez?
If you planned to build a tower, wouldn't you first work out how much it would cost, and see if you had enough money to complete it?
29 Fundamenta eçarri duqueen ondoan, eta ecin acabatu duqueenean, ikussiren duten guciac harçaz truffatzen has eztitecençát, dioitela,
Otherwise, if after laying the foundation you weren't able to finish it, everyone who saw it would laugh at you, saying,
30 Guiçon hunec hassi du edificatzen eta ecin acabatu du.
‘Look at him: he started building but he couldn't finish it.’
31 Edo cein da reguea berce regue baten contra batailla emaitera abiatzen dena, lehen iarriric consultatzen eztuen, eya hamar millarequin aitzinera ilki ahal daquidionez, hoguey millarequin haren contra ethorten denari?
What king goes to war with another king without first sitting down with his advisors to work out whether he and his ten thousand can defeat the one marching against him with twenty thousand?
32 Bercela hura oraino vrrun deno, embachadore igorriric baque esquez iarten da.
If he can't, he'll send representatives to ask for peace while the other king is still a long way off.
33 Hala beraz, norc-ere çuetaric bere on guciac ezpaititu renuntiatzen hura ecin date ene discipulu.
In the same way every one of you who doesn't give up everything can't be my disciple.
34 On da gatza: baina baldin gatza gueçat badadi, cerçaz gacituren da?
Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how can you make it salty again?
35 Ezta lurrecotzat, ez ongarricotzat deusgay: baina camporat egoizten da hura. Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beca.
It's no good for the soil or for fertilizer—you just toss it out. Whoever has ears, then listen!”
