Lukas 14

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

It happened one Sabbath, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees to eat bread, that they were watching him closely.

2 Eta huná, guiçon hydropicobat cen haren aitzinean.

Behold, there in front of him was a man who was suffering from edema.

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

Jesus asked the experts in the Jewish law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”

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

But they kept silent. So Jesus took hold of him, healed him, and sent him away.

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

He said to them, “Which of you who has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6 Eta ecin gauça hauén gainean ihardets ceçaqueoten.

They were not able to give an answer to these things.

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

When Jesus noticed how those who were invited chose the seats of honor, he spoke a parable, saying to them,

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

“When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the place of honor, because someone may have been invited who is more honored than you.

9 Eta ethorriric hura eta hi deithu çaituztenac erran dieçán, Emóc huni lekua: eta orduan has ezadin ahalquerequin azquen lekuaren eduquiten.

When the person who invited both of you arrives, he will say to you, 'Give this other person your place,' and then in shame you will proceed to take the lowest 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 sit down in the lowest place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

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

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles 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.

Jesus also said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, as they may also invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

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

But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and 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, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the just.”

15 Eta gauça hauc ençunic harequin mahainean iarriric ceudenetaric batec erran cieçón, Dohatsu duc Iaincoaren resumán ogui ianen duena.

When one of them who sat at the table with Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”

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

But Jesus said to him, “A certain man prepared a large dinner and invited many.

17 Eta igor ceçan bere cerbitzaria affal ordutan, gomitatuey erraitera, Çatozte, ecen gauça guciac prest dirade.

When the dinner was prepared, he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, 'Come, because everything is 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.

They all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out 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 have bought five pairs of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.'

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

Then another man said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore 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.

The servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in here the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.'

22 Eta erran ceçan cerbitzariac, Nabussiá, eguin içan duc, manatu duán beçala eta oraino baduc leku.

The servant said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and yet there is still room.'

23 Orduan erran cieçón nabussiac cerbitzariari, Oha bidetara eta berroetara, eta bortchaitzac, sartzera bethe dadinçát ene etchea.

The master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges and compel 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 say to you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'”

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

Now large crowds were going 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 anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

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

Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

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

For which of you who desires to build a tower does not first sit down and count the cost to calculate if he has what he needs to complete it?

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

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to mock 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, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take advice about whether he is able with ten thousand men to fight the other king who comes against him with twenty thousand men?

32 Bercela hura oraino vrrun deno, embachadore igorriric baque esquez iarten da.

If not, while the other army is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for conditions of peace.

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

So therefore, any one of you who does not give up all that he has cannot be my disciple.

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

Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?

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

It is of no use for the soil or even for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
