Luke 14
1 And it occurred, that, as he entered the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread, on the sabbath day, they watched him.
In pripetilo se je, medtem ko je odšel v hišo enega izmed vodilnih farizejev, da bi na šabatni dan jedel kruh, da so ga ti opazovali.
2 And lo, a dropsical man was before him.
In glej, pred njim je bil nek človek, ki je imel vodenico.
3 And Jews answered, and said to the Scribes and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
In Jezus je izvedencem v postavi in farizejem odgovarjal ter govoril, rekoč: »Ali je zakonito zdraviti na šabatni dan?«
4 And they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and dismissed him.
Oni pa so molčali. In prijel ga je in ozdravil ter ga pustil oditi,
5 And he said to them: Which of you, if his son or his ox fall into a pit on the sabbath day, doth not immediately lift and draw him out?
in odgovoril jim je, rekoč: »Komu izmed vas pade osel ali vol v jamo in ga ne bo nemudoma, na šabatni dan, izvlekel ven?«
6 And they could give him no answer to that.
In ponovno mu niso mogli odgovoriti na te stvari.
7 And he spoke a similitude to the guests that were present, as he noticed how they chose places on the highest couches.
In ko je opazil, kako izbirajo vodilna mesta, je tem, ki so bili povabljeni, podal prispodobo, rekoč jim:
8 When thou art invited by any one to a house of feasting, go not and recline on the highest couch; lest there should be invited there, one more honorable than thou;
»Kadar te katerikoli človek povabi na poroko, se ne usedi na najvišje mesto, da ne bi le-ta povabil častitljivejšega človeka, kakor si ti,
9 and he that invited both him and thee come and say to thee, Give place to this man; and thou be ashamed, when thou risest, and takest a lower couch.
in ne bi prišel ta, ki je povabil tebe in njega in ti rekel: ›Daj prostor temu človeku, ‹ ti pa si boš s sramoto začel jemati najnižji prostor.
10 But when thou art invited, go and recline on the lowest couch; that when he who invited thee come, he may say to thee: My friend, come up higher and recline. And thou wilt have honor, before all that recline with thee.
Toda kadar si povabljen, pojdi in se usedi na najnižji prostor, da ti lahko reče, kdor te je povabil, ko pride k tebi: ›Prijatelj, pojdi višje, ‹ potem boš imel oboževanje v prisotnosti teh, ki s teboj sedijo pri obedu.
11 For, every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled: and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.
Kajti kdorkoli se povišuje, bo ponižan, kdor pa se ponižuje, bo povišan.«
12 And he said to him that invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, invite not thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy relatives, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee, and thou have this recompense.
Potem je prav tako rekel tistemu, ki ga je povabil: »Kadar pripravljaš kosilo ali večerjo, ne pokliči svojih prijateljev, niti svojih bratov, niti svojih sorodnikov, niti svojih bogatih sosedov, da te ne bi tudi oni povabili in ti povrnili.
13 But when thou makest a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
Toda kadar pripravljaš pojedino, pokliči revne, pohabljene, hrome, slepe
14 And thou wilt be blessed. For they cannot recompense thee; but thy recompense will be at the resurrection of the just.
in boš blagoslovljen, ker ti ne morejo poplačati, kajti poplačano ti bo ob vstajenju pravičnih.«
15 And when one of those reclining heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
In ko je eden izmed teh, ki je pri obedu sedel z njim, slišal te stvari, mu je rekel: »Blagoslovljen je, kdor bo jedel kruh v Božjem kraljestvu.«
16 Jesus said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
On pa mu je potem rekel: »Neki človek je priredil veliko večerjo in povabil mnoge.
17 And at the time for supper, he sent his servant to say to those invited: Lo, every thing is ready for you; come.
Ob času večerje pa je poslal svojega služabnika, da pove tem, ki so bili povabljeni: ›Pridite, kajti sedaj so vse stvari pripravljene.‹
18 And they all to a man, began to excuse themselves. The first said to him: I have bought a field, and am constrained to go out and see it. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.
Vsi pa so se začeli soglasno opravičevati. Prvi mu je rekel: ›Kupil sem kos zemlje in nujno ga moram iti pogledat. Prosim te, imej me za opravičenega.‹
19 Another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to inspect them. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.
In drugi je rekel: ›Kupil sem pet jarmov volov in grem, da jih preizkusim. Prosim te, imej me za opravičenega.‹
20 Another said: I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
In drugi je rekel: ›Poročil sem ženo in zato ne morem priti.‹
21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry: and he said to his servant, Go out quickly into the market-places and streets of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the diseased, and the lame, and the blind.
Tako, da je ta služabnik prišel in te stvari sporočil svojemu gospodarju. Potem je hišni gospodar jezen rekel svojemu služabniku: ›Pojdi hitro ven na ulice in mestne ceste ter pripelji sèm revne in pohabljene in šepave in slepe.‹
22 And the servant said: My lord, it is done as thou commandedst; and still there is room.
In služabnik je rekel: ›Gospod, narejeno je, kakor si zapovedal in še je prostor.‹
23 And the lord said to his servant: Go out to the by-paths, and among the hedges, and constrain them to come in; that my house may be filled.
In gospodar je rekel služabniku: ›Pojdi ven na glavne ceste ter ograje in jih prisili, da vstopijo, da se bo moja hiša lahko napolnila.‹
24 For I declare to you, that not one of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
Kajti povem vam: ›Da nihče izmed tistih ljudi, ki so bili povabljeni, ne bo okusil moje večerje.‹«
25 And when great multitudes were travelling with him, he turned himself, and said to them:
In z njim so šle velike množice, on pa se je obrnil in jim rekel:
26 He that cometh to me, and hateth not his father and his mother, and his brothers and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and his own life also, cannot become a disciple to me.
»Če katerikoli človek pride k meni in ne sovraži svojega očeta in matere in žene in otrok in bratov in sester, da in tudi svojega lastnega življenja, ne more biti moj učenec.
27 And he that doth not take up his cross and come after me, cannot become a disciple to me.
In kdorkoli ne nosi svojega križa in ne sledi meni, ne more biti moj učenec.
28 For, which of you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and compute the expense, whether he have the means to complete it?
Kajti kdo izmed vas, ki hoče zgraditi stolp, se prej ne usede in ne prešteje stroška, ali ima zadosti, da ga dokonča?
29 lest, when he hath laid the foundation, and is unable to finish, all that see it begin to deride him;
Da ga ne bi morda potem, ko je položil temelj, pa ga ne bi bil zmožen dokončati, vsi tisti, ki so to gledali, začeli zasmehovati,
30 and say: This man began to build, and was unable to finish.
rekoč: ›Ta človek je začel graditi, pa ni bil zmožen dokončati.‹
31 Or what king, that is going to contend in battle with his neighbor king, doth not first consider, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him that is coming against him with twenty thousand?
Ali kateri kralj, ki pripravlja vojno proti drugemu kralju, prej ne séde in se posvetuje, če bo zmožen z deset tisoči srečati tistega, ki prihaja nadenj z dvajsetimi tisoči?
32 and if not; while he is yet far from him, he sendeth envoys, and sueth for peace.
Sicer, dokler je drugi še daleč, on pošlje poslanstvo in prosi pogoje za mir.
33 So every one of you who doth not give up all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.
Torej podobno, kdorkoli izmed vas, ki ne zapusti vsega, kar ima, ne more biti moj učenec.
34 Salt is a good thing: but if the salt itself hath become insipid, wherewith shall it be salted?
Sol je dobra, toda če je sol izgubila svoj okus, s čim se bo začinila?
35 It is fit for neither the earth, nor the dunghill. They cast it away. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Niti ni primerna za zemljo niti za gnojišče, temveč jo ljudje mečejo ven. Kdor ima ušesa, da slišijo, naj posluša.«
