Luke 14
1 And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.
Et factum est cum intraret Iesus in domum cuiusdam principis Pharisæorum Sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum.
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum.
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
Et respondens Iesus dixit ad legis peritos, et Pharisæos, dicens: Si licet Sabbato curare?
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ac dimisit.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
Et respondens ad illos dixit: Cuius vestrum asinus, aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum die Sabbati?
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
Et non poterant ad hæc respondere illi.
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:
8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,
Cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias, non discumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab illo,
9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.
et veniens is, qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere.
10 But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade, recumbe in novissimo loco: ut, cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus:
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
12 Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
Dicebat autem et ei, qui invitaverat: Cum facis prandium, aut cœnam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, neque cognatos, neque vicinos divites: ne forte te et ipsi reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
Sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et cæcos:
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi: retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione iustorum.
15 Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.
Hæc cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: Beatus, qui manducabit panem in regno Dei.
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
At ipse dixit ei: Homo quidam fecit cœnam magnam, et vocavit multos.
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
Et misit servum suum hora cœnæ dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia iam parata sunt omnia.
18 But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Et cœperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei: Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam: rogo te habe me excusatum.
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Et alter dixit: Iuga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa: rogo te habe me excusatum.
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
Et alius dixit: Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire.
21 So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
Et reversus servus nunciavit hæc domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias, dixit servo suo: Exi cito in plateas, et vicos civitatis: et pauperes, ac debiles, et cæcos, et claudos introduc huc.
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
Et ait servus: domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est.
23 Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.
Et ait dominus servo: Exi in vias, et sepes: et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea.
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum, qui vocati sunt, gustabit cœnam meam.
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
Ibant autem turbæ multæ cum eo: et conversus dixit ad illos:
26 If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.
Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus.
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
Et qui non baiulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus.
28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum,
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes, qui vident, incipiant illudere ei,
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
dicentes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificare, et non potuit consummare?
31 Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
Aut quis rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se?
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea, quæ pacis sunt.
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renunciat omnibus, quæ possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus.
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
Bonum est sal. Si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur?
35 It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
