Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 14
1 Un gadījās, ka Jēzus viena farizeju virsnieka namā nāca svētdienā uz mielastu, un tie uz Viņu glūnēja.
On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely.
2 Un lūk, viens ūdens sērdzīgs cilvēks tur bija Viņa priekšā.
There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
3 Un Jēzus iesāka runāt uz tiem bauslības mācītājiem un farizejiem un sacīja: “Vai brīv svētdienā dziedināt?” Bet tie cieta klusu.
‘Is it allowable,’ said Jesus, addressing the students of the Law and the Pharisees, ‘to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?’
4 Un, to ņēmis, Viņš to dziedināja un sūtīja projām.
They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
5 Pēc Viņš atbildēja un uz tiem sacīja: “Kurš ir jūsu starpā, kam savs ēzelis vai vērsis iekrīt akā, un viņš to tūdaļ neizvilks svētā dienā.”
And he said to them, ‘Which of you, finding that your son or your ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull them out on the Sabbath day?’
6 Un tie tam nenieka uz to nevarēja atbildēt.
And they could not make any answer to that.
7 Viņš arī tiem viesiem teica kādu līdzību, nomanīdams, ka tie izraudzījās sēdēt jo augstā vietā, un uz tiem sacīja:
Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable –
8 “Kad tu no kāda topi kāzās lūgts, tad nesēdies augstākajā vietā, ka negadās jo cienīgs nekā tu, kas arī no viņa lūgts,
‘When you are invited by anyone to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place. Someone of higher rank might have been invited by your host;
9 Un ka tas, kas tevi un viņu lūdzis, nenāk uz tevi sacīt: dod šim vietas, un tad tev ar kaunu būs jāsēž zemākajā vietā.
and the host who invited you both will come and say to you “Make room for this person,” and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
10 Bet kad tu esi lūgts, tad ej un sēdies jo zemā vietā, ka tas, kas tevi lūdzis, nāk uz tevi sacīt: draugs, virzies augšām: tad tev būs gods priekš tiem, kas līdz ar tevi sēž pie galda.
No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when the host who has invited you comes, he may say to you “Friend, come higher up”; and then you will be honoured in the eyes of all your fellow guests.
11 Jo kas pats paaugstinājās, taps pazemots, un kas pats pazemojās, taps paaugstināts.”
For everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and everyone who humbles themselves will be exalted.’
12 Un Viņš sacīja arī uz to, kas Viņu bija aicinājis: “Kad tu azaidu vai vakariņu taisi, tad nelūdzi savus draugus, nedz savus brāļus, nedz savus radus, nedz bagātus kaimiņus, ka tie tevi atkal nelūdz, un tu savu atmaksu dabū.
Then Jesus went on to say to the man who had invited him, ‘When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not ask your friends, or your brothers or sisters, or your relatives, or rich neighbours, because they might invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
13 Bet kad tu viesības dari, aicini nabagus, kropļus, tizlus, aklus.
No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
14 Tad tu būsi svētīgs, jo tiem nav, ko tev atmaksāt; un tev taps atdots, kad tie taisnie augšām celsies.”
and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot reward you; for you will be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.’
15 Bet viens no tiem, kas pie galda sēdēja, to dzirdējis, uz Viņu sacīja: “Svētīgs, kas maizi ēd Dieva valstībā.”
One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed, ‘Happy will be the person who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!’
16 Bet Viņš uz to sacīja: “Viens cilvēks lielu vakariņu sataisīja un lūdza daudzus pie tā.
But Jesus said to him, ‘A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
17 Un viņš savu kalpu sūtīja ap to vakariņa stundu, tiem aicinātiem sacīt: nāciet, jo visas lietas sataisītas.
and sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited “Come, for everything is now ready.”
18 Bet tie visi cits pēc cita iesāka aizbildināties. Pirmais uz to sacīja: es tīrumu esmu pircis, un man jānoiet, to apraudzīt; lūdzos, aizbildini mani.
They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first said to the servant “I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me excused.”
19 Un otrs sacīja: es pieci jūgus vēršu esmu pircis un noeju, tos apraudzīt; lūdzos, aizbildini mani.
The next said “I have bought five pairs of bullocks, and I am on my way to try them. I must ask you to consider me excused”;
20 Un cits sacīja: es sievu esmu apņēmis, tāpēc nevaru nākt.
while the next said “I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.”
21 Un tas kalps nāca un savam kungam to atsacīja; tad tas nama kungs tapa dusmīgs un sacīja uz savu kalpu: ej steigšus uz gatvēm un pilsētas ielām, un ieved tos nabagus un kropļus un tizlus un aklus šeit iekšā.
On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant “Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.”
22 Un tas kalps sacīja: kungs, tas ir padarīts, ko tu esi pavēlējis, bet vēl ir rūmes.
Presently the servant said “Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.”
23 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz to kalpu: Izej uz lielceļiem un pie sētmalām un spiedi tos nākt iekšā, lai mans nams top pilns.
“Go out,” the master said, “into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;
24 Jo es jums saku, ka neviens no tiem vīriem, kas bija aicināti, manu vakariņu nebaudīs.”
for I tell you all that not one of those people who were invited will taste my dinner.”’
25 Bet daudz ļaužu gāja Viņam līdz, un Viņš atgriezdamies uz tiem sacīja:
One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them,
26 “Ja kas nāk pie Manis un neienīst savu tēvu un māti un sievu un bērnus un brāļus un māsas un arī turklāt savu paša dzīvību, tas nevar būt Mans māceklis.
‘If any one comes to me and does not hate their father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and even their life, he can be no disciple of mine.
27 Un kas savu krustu nenes un nestaigā Man pakaļ tas nevar būt Mans māceklis.
Whoever does not carry their own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
28 Jo kurš ir jūsu starpā, kas torni grib uztaisīt un papriekš neapsēžās un nepārdomā, cik tas maksā, vai viņam būs padoma līdz pat galam?
Why, which of you, when you want to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if you have enough to complete it? –
29 Lai, kad pamatu licis un nespēj pabeigt, visi, kas to redz, nesāk viņu apsmiet,
Otherwise, if you have laid the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will laugh at you,
30 Sacīdami: Šis cilvēks ir iesācis celt, bet nav spējis pabeigt.
and say “Here is a person who began to build and was not able to finish!”
31 Jeb kurš ķēniņš, karā iedams kauties ar citu ķēniņu, papriekš neapsēžās un neapdomājās, vai būs spēcīgs, iet pretī ar desmit tūkstošiem tam, kas viņam uziet ar divdesmit tūkstošiem?
Or what king, when he is setting out to fight another king, does not first sit down and consider if with ten thousand men he is able to meet one who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Bet kad nav, tad viņš sūta vēsti, kamēr vēl ir tālu, un lūdz mieru.
And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
33 Tad nu tāpat ikkatrs no jums, kas visai savai rocībai neatsaka, tas nevar būt Mans māceklis.
And so with everyone of you who does not bid farewell to all you have – you cannot be a disciple of mine.
34 Sāls ir laba, bet ja sāls paliek nelietīga, ar ko tad to darīs derīgu?
Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what will be used to season it?
35 Tā neder ne zemei, ne sūdos. To izmet ārā. Kam ausis dzirdēt, tas lai dzird.”
It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. People throw it away. Let those who have ears to hear with hear!’
