Lukas 14
1 Guertha cedin halaber hura ethorri cenean Phariseuetaco principal baten etchera Sabbathoan bere refectionearen hartzera, hec gogoa emaiten baitzeraucaten.
And it occurred, that, as he entered the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread, on the sabbath day, they watched him.
2 Eta huná, guiçon hydropicobat cen haren aitzinean.
And lo, a dropsical man was before him.
3 Orduan ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén Legueco doctorey eta Phariseuey, cioela, Sori da Sabbathoan sendatzea?
And Jews answered, and said to the Scribes and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
4 Eta hec ichilic egon citecen, Eta harc hura harturic senda ceçan, eta igor ceçan.
And they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and dismissed him.
5 Eta ihardesten cerauela, erran ceçan, Ceinec çuetaric astoa edo idia putzura eror badaquió, eztu bertan hura idoquiren Sabbath egunean?
And he said to them: Which of you, if his son or his ox fall into a pit on the sabbath day, doth not immediately lift and draw him out?
6 Eta ecin gauça hauén gainean ihardets ceçaqueoten.
And they could give him no answer to that.
7 Erraiten cerauen halaber gomitatu içan ciradeney comparationebat, gogoatzen çuela nola lehen iarlekuéz hautatzen ciraden, ciostela,
And he spoke a similitude to the guests that were present, as he noticed how they chose places on the highest couches.
8 Norbeitec dei açanean ezteyetara, ezadila iar lehen lekuan, guertha eztadin, hi baino ohoratuagobat harc deithu duen:
When thou art invited by any one to a house of feasting, go not and recline on the highest couch; lest there should be invited there, one more honorable than thou;
9 Eta ethorriric hura eta hi deithu çaituztenac erran dieçán, Emóc huni lekua: eta orduan has ezadin ahalquerequin azquen lekuaren eduquiten.
and he that invited both him and thee come and say to thee, Give place to this man; and thou be ashamed, when thou risest, and takest a lower couch.
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.
But when thou art invited, go and recline on the lowest couch; that when he who invited thee come, he may say to thee: My friend, come up higher and recline. And thou wilt have honor, before all that recline with thee.
11 Ecen bere buruä goratzen duen gucia, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheratzen duena, goraturen da.
For, every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled: and every one that humbleth himself, 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.
And he said to him that invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, invite not thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy relatives, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee, and thou have this recompense.
13 Baina eguiten duanean banquetbat, dei itzac paubreac, impotentac, mainguäc, itsuac:
But when thou makest a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
14 Eta dohatsu içanen aiz: ceren ezpaitute nondic hiri ordaina renda: ecen hiri rendaturen çaic ordaina iustoén resurrectionean.
And thou wilt be blessed. For they cannot recompense thee; but thy recompense will be at the resurrection of the just.
15 Eta gauça hauc ençunic harequin mahainean iarriric ceudenetaric batec erran cieçón, Dohatsu duc Iaincoaren resumán ogui ianen duena.
And when one of those reclining heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Eta harc erran cieçón, Guiçon batec eguin ceçan affari handibat, eta dei ceçan anhitz:
Jesus said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
17 Eta igor ceçan bere cerbitzaria affal ordutan, gomitatuey erraitera, Çatozte, ecen gauça guciac prest dirade.
And at the time for supper, he sent his servant to say to those invited: Lo, every thing is ready for you; come.
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.
And they all to a man, began to excuse themselves. The first said to him: I have bought a field, and am constrained to go out and see it. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.
19 Eta berceac erran ceçan, Borz idi vztarri erossi citiat, eta banihoac hayén phorogatzera: othoitz eguiten drauat eduqui neçac excusatutan.
Another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to inspect them. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.
20 Eta berceac erran ceçan, Emazte hartu diat, eta halacotz ecin niathorrec.
Another said: I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot 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.
And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry: and he said to his servant, Go out quickly into the market-places and streets of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the diseased, and the lame, and the blind.
22 Eta erran ceçan cerbitzariac, Nabussiá, eguin içan duc, manatu duán beçala eta oraino baduc leku.
And the servant said: My lord, it is done as thou commandedst; and still there is room.
23 Orduan erran cieçón nabussiac cerbitzariari, Oha bidetara eta berroetara, eta bortchaitzac, sartzera bethe dadinçát ene etchea.
And the lord said to his servant: Go out to the by-paths, and among the hedges, and constrain them to come in; that my house may be filled.
24 Ecen erraiten drauçuet, guiçon deithu içan ciraden hetaric batec-ere eztuela ene affaritic dastaturen.
For I declare to you, that not one of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
25 Eta gendetze handiac ioaiten ciraden harequin: eta itzuliric erran ciecén.
And when great multitudes were travelling with him, he turned himself, and said to them:
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.
He that cometh to me, and hateth not his father and his mother, and his brothers and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and his own life also, cannot become a disciple to me.
27 Eta norc-ere ezpaitacarque bere crutzea, eta ene ondoan ethorten ezpaita, ecin date ene discipulu.
And he that doth not take up his cross and come after me, cannot become a disciple to me.
28 Ecen cein da çuetaric dorrebat edificatu nahi duenic, lehen iarriric gostuac contatzen eztituena, eya acabatzeco baduenez?
For, which of you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and compute the expense, whether he have the means to complete it?
29 Fundamenta eçarri duqueen ondoan, eta ecin acabatu duqueenean, ikussiren duten guciac harçaz truffatzen has eztitecençát, dioitela,
lest, when he hath laid the foundation, and is unable to finish, all that see it begin to deride him;
30 Guiçon hunec hassi du edificatzen eta ecin acabatu du.
and say: This man began to build, and was unable to finish.
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?
Or what king, that is going to contend in battle with his neighbor king, doth not first consider, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him that is coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Bercela hura oraino vrrun deno, embachadore igorriric baque esquez iarten da.
and if not; while he is yet far from him, he sendeth envoys, and sueth for peace.
33 Hala beraz, norc-ere çuetaric bere on guciac ezpaititu renuntiatzen hura ecin date ene discipulu.
So every one of you who doth not give up all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.
34 On da gatza: baina baldin gatza gueçat badadi, cerçaz gacituren da?
Salt is a good thing: but if the salt itself hath become insipid, wherewith shall it be salted?
35 Ezta lurrecotzat, ez ongarricotzat deusgay: baina camporat egoizten da hura. Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beca.
It is fit for neither the earth, nor the dunghill. They cast it away. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
