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].
Bir Şabat Günü İsa Ferisiler'in ileri gelenlerinden birinin evine yemek yemeye gitti. Herkes O'nu dikkatle gözlüyordu.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Önünde, vücudu su toplamış bir adam vardı.
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?”
İsa, Kutsal Yasa uzmanlarına ve Ferisiler'e, “Şabat Günü bir hastayı iyileştirmek Kutsal Yasa'ya uygun mudur, değil midir?” diye sordu.
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].
Onlar ses çıkarmadılar. İsa adamı tutup iyileştirdi, sonra eve gönderdi.
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]?”
İsa onlara şöyle dedi: “Hanginiz oğlu ya da öküzü Şabat Günü kuyuya düşer de hemen çıkarmaz?”
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.
Onlar buna hiçbir karşılık veremediler.
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:
Yemeğe çağrılanların başköşeleri seçtiğini farkeden İsa, onlara şu benzetmeyi anlattı: “Biri seni düğüne çağırdığı zaman başköşeye kurulma. Belki senden daha saygın birini de çağırmıştır. İkinizi de çağıran gelip, ‘Yerini bu adama ver’ diyebilir. O zaman utançla kalkıp en arkaya geçersin.
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)].
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.
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.
Bir yere çağrıldığın zaman git, en arkada otur. Öyle ki, seni çağıran gelince, ‘Arkadaşım, daha öne buyurmaz mısın?’ desin. O zaman seninle birlikte sofrada oturan herkesin önünde onurlandırılmış olursun.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Kendini yücelten herkes alçaltılacak, kendini alçaltan yüceltilecektir.”
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.
İsa kendisini yemeğe çağırmış olana da şöyle dedi: “Bir öğlen ya da akşam yemeği verdiğin zaman dostlarını, kardeşlerini, akrabalarını ve zengin komşularını çağırma. Yoksa onlar da seni çağırarak karşılık verirler.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Ama ziyafet verdiğin zaman yoksulları, kötürümleri, sakatları, körleri çağır.
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.”
Böylece mutlu olursun. Çünkü bunlar sana karşılık verecek durumda değildirler. Karşılığı sana, doğru kişiler dirildiği zaman verilecektir.”
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!”
Sofrada oturanlardan biri bunu duyunca İsa'ya, “Tanrı'nın Egemenliği'nde yemek yiyecek olana ne mutlu!” dedi.
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.
İsa ona şöyle dedi: “Adamın biri büyük bir şölen hazırlayıp birçok konuk çağırdı.
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!’
Şölen saati gelince davetlilere, ‘Buyurun, her şey hazır’ diye haber vermek üzere kölesini gönderdi.
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!’
“Ne var ki, hepsi anlaşmışçasına özür dilemeye başladılar. Birincisi, ‘Bir tarla satın aldım, gidip görmek zorundayım. Rica ederim, beni hoş gör’ dedi.
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!’
“Bir başkası, ‘Beş çift öküz aldım, onları denemeye gidiyorum. Rica ederim, beni hoş gör’ dedi.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
“Yine bir başkası, ‘Yeni evlendim, bu nedenle gelemiyorum’ dedi.
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]!’
“Köle geri dönüp durumu efendisine bildirdi. Bunun üzerine ev sahibi öfkelenerek kölesine, ‘Koş’ dedi, ‘Kentin caddelerine, sokaklarına çık; yoksulları, kötürümleri, körleri, sakatları buraya getir.’
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].’
“Köle, ‘Efendim, buyruğun yerine getirilmiştir, ama daha yer var’ dedi.
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]!’”
“Efendisi köleye, ‘Çıkıp yolları ve çit boylarını dolaş, bulduklarını gelmeye zorla da evim dolsun’ dedi.
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].”
‘Size şunu söyleyeyim, ilk çağrılan o adamlardan hiçbiri benim yemeğimden tatmayacaktır.’”
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Kalabalık halk toplulukları İsa'yla birlikte yol alıyordu. İsa dönüp onlara şöyle dedi: “Biri bana gelip de babasını, annesini, karısını, çocuklarını, kardeşlerini, hatta kendi canını bile gözden çıkarmazsa, öğrencim olamaz.
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!
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.
Çarmıhını yüklenip ardımdan gelmeyen, öğrencim olamaz.
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.
“Aranızdan biri bir kule yapmak isterse, bunu tamamlayacak kadar parası var mı yok mu diye önce oturup yapacağı masrafı hesap etmez mi?
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.
Çünkü temel atıp da işi bitiremezse, durumu gören herkes, ‘Bu adam inşaata başladı, ama bitiremedi’ diyerek onunla eğlenmeye başlar.
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
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].
“Ya da hangi kral başka bir kralla savaşa gittiğinde, üzerine yirmi bin askerle yürüyen düşmana on bin askerle karşı koyabilir miyim diye önce oturup bir değerlendirme yapmaz?
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?’
Eğer karşı koyamayacaksa, öbürü henüz uzaktayken elçiler gönderip barış koşullarını ister.
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.”
Aynı şekilde sizden kim varını yoğunu gözden çıkarmazsa, öğrencim olamaz.
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]
“Tuz yararlıdır. Ama tuz tadını yitirirse, bir daha nasıl o tadı kazanabilir?
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!”
Ne toprağa, ne de gübreye yarar; onu çöpe atarlar. İşitecek kulağı olan işitsin.”
