Luke 14
1 On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely.
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 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
In glej, pred njim je bil nek človek, ki je imel vodenico.
3 “Is it allowable,” said Jesus, addressing the Students of the Law and the Pharisees, “to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?”
In Jezus je izvedencem v postavi in farizejem odgovarjal ter govoril, rekoč: »Ali je zakonito zdraviti na šabatni dan?«
4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
Oni pa so molčali. In prijel ga je in ozdravil ter ga pustil oditi,
5 And he said to them: “Which of you, finding that his son or his ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?”
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 not make any answer to that.
In ponovno mu niso mogli odgovoriti na te stvari.
7 Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable —
In ko je opazil, kako izbirajo vodilna mesta, je tem, ki so bili povabljeni, podal prispodobo, rekoč jim:
8 “When you are invited by any one to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place, for fear that some one of higher rank should have been invited by your host;
»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 who invited you both will come and say to you ‘Make room for this man,’ and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
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 No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you ‘Friend, come higher up’; and then you will be honoured in the eyes of all your fellow-guests.
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 who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Kajti kdorkoli se povišuje, bo ponižan, kdor pa se ponižuje, bo povišan.«
12 Then Jesus went on to say to the man who had invited him: “When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not ask your friends, or your brothers, or your relations, or rich neighbours, for fear that they should invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
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 No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
Toda kadar pripravljaš pojedino, pokliči revne, pohabljene, hrome, slepe
14 and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot recompense you; for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the good.”
in boš blagoslovljen, ker ti ne morejo poplačati, kajti poplačano ti bo ob vstajenju pravičnih.«
15 One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed: “Happy will he be who 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 But Jesus said to him: “A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
On pa mu je potem rekel: »Neki človek je priredil veliko večerjo in povabil mnoge.
17 and sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
Ob času večerje pa je poslal svojega služabnika, da pove tem, ki so bili povabljeni: ›Pridite, kajti sedaj so vse stvari pripravljene.‹
18 They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first man said to the servant ‘I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me 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 The next said ‘I have bought five pairs of bullocks, and I am on my way to try them. I must ask you to consider me excused’;
In drugi je rekel: ›Kupil sem pet jarmov volov in grem, da jih preizkusim. Prosim te, imej me za opravičenega.‹
20 while the next said ‘I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
In drugi je rekel: ›Poročil sem ženo in zato ne morem priti.‹
21 On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant ‘Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.’
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 Presently the servant said ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’
In služabnik je rekel: ›Gospod, narejeno je, kakor si zapovedal in še je prostor.‹
23 ‘Go out,’ the master said, ‘into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so 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 tell you all that not one of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.’”
Kajti povem vam: ›Da nihče izmed tistih ljudi, ki so bili povabljeni, ne bo okusil moje večerje.‹«
25 One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them:
In z njim so šle velike množice, on pa se je obrnil in jim rekel:
26 “If any man comes to me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and his very life, he can be no disciple of mine.
»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 Whoever does not carry his own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
In kdorkoli ne nosi svojega križa in ne sledi meni, ne more biti moj učenec.
28 Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough 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 For fear that, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, every one who sees it should begin to laugh at 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 ‘Here is a man who began to build and was not able to finish!’
rekoč: ›Ta človek je začel graditi, pa ni bil zmožen dokončati.‹
31 Or what king, when he is setting out to fight another king, does not first sit down and consider if with ten thousand men he is able to meet one who 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 he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
Sicer, dokler je drugi še daleč, on pošlje poslanstvo in prosi pogoje za mir.
33 And so with every one of you who does not bid farewell to all he has — he cannot be a disciple of mine.
Torej podobno, kdorkoli izmed vas, ki ne zapusti vsega, kar ima, ne more biti moj učenec.
34 Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what shall be used to season it?
Sol je dobra, toda če je sol izgubila svoj okus, s čim se bo začinila?
35 It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. Men throw it away. Let him who has ears to hear with hear!”
Niti ni primerna za zemljo niti za gnojišče, temveč jo ljudje mečejo ven. Kdor ima ušesa, da slišijo, naj posluša.«
