Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
En het geschiedde, als Hij gekomen was in het huis van een der oversten der Farizeen, op den sabbat, om brood te eten, dat zij Hem waarnamen.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
En ziet, er was een zeker waterzuchtig mens voor Hem.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
En Jezus, antwoordende, zeide tot de wetgeleerden en Farizeen, en sprak: Is het ook geoorloofd op den sabbat gezond te maken?
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Maar zij zwegen stil. En Hij nam hem, en genas hem, en liet hem gaan.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
En Hij, hun antwoordende, zeide: Wiens ezel of os van ulieden zal in een put vallen, en die hem niet terstond zal uittrekken op den dag des sabbats?
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
En zij konden Hem daarop niet weder antwoorden.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
En Hij zeide tot de genoden een gelijkenis, aanmerkende, hoe zij de vooraanzittingen verkozen; zeggende tot hen:
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
Wanneer gij van iemand ter bruiloft genood zult zijn, zo zet u niet in de eerste zitplaats; opdat niet misschien een waardiger dan gij van hem genood zij;
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
En hij, komende, die u en hem genood heeft, tot u zegge: Geef dezen plaats; en gij alsdan zoudt beginnen met schaamte de laatste plaats te houden.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Maar wanneer gij genood zult zijn, ga heen en zet u in de laatste plaats; opdat, wanneer hij komt, die u genood heeft, hij tot u zegge: Vriend, ga hoger op. Alsdan zal het u eer zijn voor degenen, die met u aanzitten.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Want een iegelijk, die zichzelven verhoogt, zal vernederd worden; en die zichzelven vernedert, zal verhoogd worden.
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
En Hij zeide ook tot dengene, die Hem genood had: Wanneer gij een middagmaal of avondmaal zult houden, zo roep niet uw vrienden, noch uw broeders, noch uw magen, noch uw rijke geburen; opdat ook dezelve u niet te eniger tijd wedernoden, en u vergelding geschiede.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Maar wanneer gij een maaltijd zult houden, zo nood armen, verminkten, kreupelen, blinden;
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
En gij zult zalig zijn, omdat zij niet hebben, om u te vergelden; want het zal u vergolden worden in de opstanding der rechtvaardigen.
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
En als een van degenen, die mede aanzaten, deze dingen hoorde, zeide hij tot Hem: Zalig is hij, die brood eet in het Koninkrijk Gods.
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Maar Hij zeide tot hem: Een zeker mens bereidde een groot avondmaal, en hij noodde er velen.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
En hij zond zijn dienstknecht uit ten ure des avondmaals, om den genoden te zeggen: Komt, want alle dingen zijn nu gereed.
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
En zij begonnen allen zich eendrachtelijk te ontschuldigen. De eerste zeide tot hem: Ik heb een akker gekocht, en het is nodig, dat ik uitga, en hem bezie; ik bid u, houd mij voor verontschuldigd.
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
En een ander zeide: Ik heb vijf juk ossen gekocht, en ik ga heen, om die te beproeven; ik bid u, houd mij voor verontschuldigd.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
En een ander zeide: Ik heb een vrouw getrouwd, en daarom kan ik niet komen.
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
En dezelve dienstknecht weder gekomen zijnde, boodschapte deze dingen zijn heer. Toen werd de heer des huizes toornig, en zeide tot zijn dienstknecht: Ga haastelijk uit in de straten en wijken der stad, en breng de armen, en verminkten, en kreupelen, en blinden hier in.
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
En de dienstknecht zeide: Heer, het is geschied, gelijk gij bevolen hebt, en nog is er plaats.
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
En de heer zeide tot den dienstknecht: Ga uit in de wegen en heggen; en dwing ze in te komen, opdat mijn huis vol worde;
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
Want ik zeg ulieden, dat niemand van die mannen, die genood waren, mijn avondmaal smaken zal.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
En vele scharen gingen met Hem; en Hij, Zich omkerende, zeide tot hen:
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
Indien iemand tot Mij komt en niet haat zijn vader, en moeder, en vrouw, en kinderen, en broeders, en zusters, ja, ook zelfs zijn eigen leven, die kan Mijn discipel niet zijn.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
En wie zijn kruis niet draagt, en Mij navolgt, die kan Mijn discipel niet zijn.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Want wie van u, willende een toren bouwen, zit niet eerst neder, en overrekent de kosten, of hij ook heeft, hetgeen tot volmaking nodig is?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
Opdat niet misschien, als hij het fondament gelegd heeft, en niet kan voleindigen, allen, die het zien, hem beginnen te bespotten.
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
Zeggende: Deze mens heeft begonnen te bouwen, en heeft niet kunnen voleindigen.
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
Of wat koning, gaande naar den krijg, om tegen een anderen koning te slaan, zit niet eerst neder, en beraadslaagt, of hij machtig is met tien duizend te ontmoeten dengene, die met twintig duizend tegen hem komt?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Anderszins zendt hij gezanten uit, terwijl degene nog verre is, en begeert, hetgeen tot vrede dient.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Alzo dan een iegelijk van u, die niet verlaat alles, wat hij heeft, die kan Mijn discipel niet zijn.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
Het zout is goed; maar indien het zout smakeloos geworden is, waarmede zal het smakelijk gemaakt worden?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Het is noch tot het land, noch tot den mesthoop bekwaam; men werpt het weg. Wie oren heeft, om te horen, die hore.
