Lukas 14

1 Guertha cedin halaber hura ethorri cenean Phariseuetaco principal baten etchera Sabbathoan bere refectionearen hartzera, hec gogoa emaiten baitzeraucaten.

And it came to pass, that he went, on the sabbath-day, into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees, to eat bread; and they watched him.

2 Eta huná, guiçon hydropicobat cen haren aitzinean.

And behold, there was a man before him, who had the dropsy.

3 Orduan ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén Legueco doctorey eta Phariseuey, cioela, Sori da Sabbathoan sendatzea?

And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath-day?

4 Eta hec ichilic egon citecen, Eta harc hura harturic senda ceçan, eta igor ceçan.

But they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 Eta ihardesten cerauela, erran ceçan, Ceinec çuetaric astoa edo idia putzura eror badaquió, eztu bertan hura idoquiren Sabbath egunean?

And he answered and said to them: Which of you, if his son or his ox should fall into a pit, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day?

6 Eta ecin gauça hauén gainean ihardets ceçaqueoten.

And they were not able to give him an answer to these things.

7 Erraiten cerauen halaber gomitatu içan ciradeney comparationebat, gogoatzen çuela nola lehen iarlekuéz hautatzen ciraden, ciostela,

And he spoke a parable to those who had been invited, when he observed how they were choosing the first places at table; and he said to them:

8 Norbeitec dei açanean ezteyetara, ezadila iar lehen lekuan, guertha eztadin, hi baino ohoratuagobat harc deithu duen:

When you are invited by any one to a wedding, do not recline in the first place, lest a more honorable man than you may have been invited by him;

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 you and him, come and say to you, Give place to this man; and then you shall begin with shame to take the last place.

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 you are invited, go and recline in the last place, that when he that invited you shall come, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then you shall have honor in the presence of those who recline with you.

11 Ecen bere buruä goratzen duen gucia, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheratzen duena, goraturen da.

For every one that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall 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 also to him that had invited him: When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made you.

13 Baina eguiten duanean banquetbat, dei itzac paubreac, impotentac, mainguäc, itsuac:

But when you make 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 you shall be blessed; for they have no power to repay you; but you shall be repaid 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 a certain one of those who reclined at table with him, after hearing these things, said to him: Blessed is he who shall cat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Eta harc erran cieçón, Guiçon batec eguin ceçan affari handibat, eta dei ceçan anhitz:

And he 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 he sent his servant at the hour of supper, to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all things are now 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.

And they all, with one consent, began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a farm, and I must go and see it; I pray you, have me excused.

19 Eta berceac erran ceçan, Borz idi vztarri erossi citiat, eta banihoac hayén phorogatzera: othoitz eguiten drauat eduqui neçac excusatutan.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them; I pray you, have me excused.

20 Eta berceac erran ceçan, Emazte hartu diat, eta halacotz ecin niathorrec.

And another said, I have married a wife, and, for this reason, I can not 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 that servant came and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and the maimed, 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, Lord, it is done as you commanded, and yet 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 into the roads, and among the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be full.

24 Ecen erraiten drauçuet, guiçon deithu içan ciraden hetaric batec-ere eztuela ene affaritic dastaturen.

For I say to you, that not one of those men who have been invited, shall taste of my supper.

25 Eta gendetze handiac ioaiten ciraden harequin: eta itzuliric erran ciecén.

And many multitudes were journeying with him; and he turned 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.

If any one comes to me, and hates not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and his own life also, he can not be my disciple.

27 Eta norc-ere ezpaitacarque bere crutzea, eta ene ondoan ethorten ezpaita, ecin date ene discipulu.

And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, can not be my disciple.

28 Ecen cein da çuetaric dorrebat edificatu nahi duenic, lehen iarriric gostuac contatzen eztituena, eya acabatzeco baduenez?

For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down, and count the cost, whether he has the means to finish it?

29 Fundamenta eçarri duqueen ondoan, eta ecin acabatu duqueenean, ikussiren duten guciac harçaz truffatzen has eztitecençát, dioitela,

Lest, when he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all that see it begin to deride him,

30 Guiçon hunec hassi du edificatzen eta ecin acabatu du.

saying, This man began to build, and was not able 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, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down, and deliberate 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 at a distance, he sends an embassy, and asks for conditions of peace.

33 Hala beraz, norc-ere çuetaric bere on guciac ezpaititu renuntiatzen hura ecin date ene discipulu.

So, then, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, can not be my disciple.

34 On da gatza: baina baldin gatza gueçat badadi, cerçaz gacituren da?

Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again?

35 Ezta lurrecotzat, ez ongarricotzat deusgay: baina camporat egoizten da hura. Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beca.

It is fit neither for earth, nor for manure; but they cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
