< Luke 14 >

1 And it happened that, when Jesus entered the house of a certain leader of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were observing him.
ᎯᎠᏃ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏁᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏴᎸ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏣᎦᏁᎶᏗ ᎠᏆᎵᏏ ᎦᏁᎸ ᎤᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏱ ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬ ᎢᎦ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏩᎦᏌᏯᏍᏕᎢ.
2 And behold, a certain man before him was afflicted with edema.
ᎬᏂᏳᏉᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎢᎬᏱᏗᏢ ᏄᏛᏁ ᎤᏢᎩ ᎠᎹ ᎤᏓᏁᏁᎯ.
3 And responding, Jesus spoke to the experts in the law and to the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?”
ᏥᏌᏃ ᎤᏁᏤ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎴ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᏗᏃᏏᏏᏍᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᏆᎵᏏ; ᏚᏳᎪᏗᏍᎪ ᏗᏓᏅᏬᏗᏱ ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬ ᎢᎦ?
4 But they kept silent. Yet truly, taking hold of him, he healed him and sent him away.
ᎡᎳᏪᏱᏃ ᎤᏅᏁᎢ. ᎤᏂᏴᎲᏃ ᎤᏅᏩᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᏲᏎᎢ;
5 And responding to them, he said, “Which of you will have a donkey or an ox fall into a pit, and will not promptly pull him out, on the day of the Sabbath?”
ᏚᏁᏤᎴᏃ ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎴᎢ, ᎦᎪ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏂᏣᏛᏅ ᏐᏈᎵ-ᏗᎦᎵᎠᏅᎯᏛ ᎠᎴ ᏩᎦ ᏳᎸᏤᎸ ᎠᏔᎴᏒ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎳᏉ ᎢᏴᏛ ᏱᏮᎦᎳᎩ ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬ ᎢᎦ?
6 And they were unable to respond to him about these things.
ᎥᏝᏃ ᏰᎵ ᏅᏓᎬᏩᏬᎯᎵᏴᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᏱᎨᏎ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎯᎠ.
7 Then he also told a parable, to those who were invited, noticing how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
ᎠᎴ ᏚᏟᎶᏍᏔᏁᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏫᎨᏥᏯᏅᏛ, ᏚᎪᎲ ᏓᎾᏑᏰᏍᎬ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᏗᏂᏢᏗᏱ, ᎯᎠ ᏂᏚᏪᏎᎴᎢ,
8 “When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him.

9 And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, ‘Give this place to him.’ And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place.

10 But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you.

12 Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you.
ᎯᎠᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏄᏪᏎᎴ ᏭᏯᏅᏛ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᏕᎭᏕᎳᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎢᎦ ᎡᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏒ ᎡᎯ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏫᏘᏯᏂᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏗᏣᎵᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎢᏣᎵᏅᏟ, ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏗᏨᏅ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᏁᎾᎢ ᎾᎥ ᎢᏣᏓᎳ; ᎾᏍᏉᏰᏃ ᏂᎯ ᏱᏮᎨᏣᏯᏅ ᎠᎴ ᏴᎨᏣᎫᏴᏏ.
13 But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.

14 And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.”
ᎣᏏᏳᏃ ᎢᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᎥᏝᏰᏃ ᏴᎦᎨᏣᎫᏴᏏ; ᎡᏣᎫᏴᎡᏗᏰᏃ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏓᎾᎴᎯᏌᏅ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ.
15 When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.”

16 So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many.

17 And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready.

18 And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’

19 And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me.’

21 And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’

22 And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room.’

23 And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled.

25 Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them:

26 “If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yes, even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple.

29 Otherwise, after he will have laid the foundation and not been able to finish it, everyone who sees it may begin to mock him,

31 Or, what king, advancing to engage in war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether he may be able, with ten thousand, to meet one who comes against him with twenty thousand?
