Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
Et factum est cum intraret Iesus in domum cuiusdam principis Pharisæorum Sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum.
3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Et respondens Iesus dixit ad legis peritos, et Pharisæos, dicens: Si licet Sabbato curare?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ac dimisit.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will 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 answer him again to these things.
Et non poterant ad hæc respondere illi.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,
Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:
8 When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than you 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 you and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
et veniens is, qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere.
10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you.
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 whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.
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 you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et cæcos:
14 And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi: retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione iustorum.
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Hæc cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: Beatus, qui manducabit panem in regno Dei.
16 Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
At ipse dixit ei: Homo quidam fecit cœnam magnam, et vocavit multos.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Et misit servum suum hora cœnæ dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia iam parata sunt omnia.
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray you have 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 have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray you have me excused.
Et alter dixit: Iuga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa: rogo te habe me excusatum.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Et alius dixit: Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire.
21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
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 servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.
Et ait servus: domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est.
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Et ait dominus servo: Exi in vias, et sepes: et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea.
24 For I say to 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 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
Ibant autem turbæ multæ cum eo: et conversus dixit ad illos:
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot 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 whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Et qui non baiulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum,
29 Lest haply, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes, qui vident, incipiant illudere ei,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
dicentes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificare, et non potuit consummare?
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty 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 else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea, quæ pacis sunt.
33 So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, 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 the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be seasoned?
Bonum est sal. Si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
