Luke 14
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
anantara. m vi"sraamavaare yii"sau pradhaanasya phiruu"sino g. rhe bhoktu. m gatavati te ta. m viik. situm aarebhire|
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
tadaa jalodarii tasya sammukhe sthita. h|
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
tata. h sa vyavasthaapakaan phiruu"sina"sca papraccha, vi"sraamavaare svaasthya. m karttavya. m na vaa? tataste kimapi na pratyuucu. h|
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
tadaa sa ta. m rogi. na. m svastha. m k. rtvaa visasarja;
5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
taanuvaaca ca yu. smaaka. m kasyacid garddabho v. r.sabho vaa ced gartte patati tarhi vi"sraamavaare tatk. sa. na. m sa ki. m ta. m notthaapayi. syati?
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
tataste kathaayaa etasyaa. h kimapi prativaktu. m na "seku. h|
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
apara nca pradhaanasthaanamanoniitatvakara. na. m vilokya sa nimantritaan etadupade"sakathaa. m jagaada,
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
tva. m vivaahaadibhojye. su nimantrita. h san pradhaanasthaane mopaavek. sii. h| tvatto gauravaanvitanimantritajana aayaate
9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
nimantrayitaagatya manu. syaayaitasmai sthaana. m dehiiti vaakya. m ced vak. syati tarhi tva. m sa"nkucito bhuutvaa sthaana itarasmin upave. s.tum udya. msyasi|
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
asmaat kaara. naadeva tva. m nimantrito gatvaa. apradhaanasthaana upavi"sa, tato nimantrayitaagatya vadi. syati, he bandho proccasthaana. m gatvopavi"sa, tathaa sati bhojanopavi. s.taanaa. m sakalaanaa. m saak. saat tva. m maanyo bhavi. syasi|
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
ya. h ka"scit svamunnamayati sa namayi. syate, kintu ya. h ka"scit sva. m namayati sa unnamayi. syate|
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
tadaa sa nimantrayitaara. m janamapi jagaada, madhyaahne raatrau vaa bhojye k. rte nijabandhuga. no vaa bhraat. rga. no vaa j naatiga. no vaa dhaniga. no vaa samiipavaasiga. no vaa etaan na nimantraya, tathaa k. rte cet te tvaa. m nimantrayi. syanti, tarhi pari"sodho bhavi. syati|
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
kintu yadaa bhejya. m karo. si tadaa daridra"su. skakarakha njaandhaan nimantraya,
14 and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
tata aa"si. sa. m lapsyase, te. su pari"sodha. m karttuma"saknuvatsu "sma"saanaaddhaarmmikaanaamutthaanakaale tva. m phalaa. m lapsyase|
15 When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
anantara. m taa. m kathaa. m ni"samya bhojanopavi. s.ta. h ka"scit kathayaamaasa, yo jana ii"svarasya raajye bhoktu. m lapsyate saeva dhanya. h|
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
tata. h sa uvaaca, ka"scit jano raatrau bhejya. m k. rtvaa bahuun nimantrayaamaasa|
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
tato bhojanasamaye nimantritalokaan aahvaatu. m daasadvaaraa kathayaamaasa, khadyadravyaa. ni sarvvaa. ni samaasaaditaani santi, yuuyamaagacchata|
18 They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
kintu te sarvva ekaika. m chala. m k. rtvaa k. samaa. m praarthayaa ncakrire| prathamo jana. h kathayaamaasa, k. setrameka. m kriitavaanaha. m tadeva dra. s.tu. m mayaa gantavyam, ataeva maa. m k. santu. m ta. m nivedaya|
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
anyo jana. h kathayaamaasa, da"sav. r.saanaha. m kriitavaan taan pariik. situ. m yaami tasmaadeva maa. m k. santu. m ta. m nivedaya|
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
apara. h kathayaamaasa, vyuu. dhavaanaha. m tasmaat kaara. naad yaatu. m na "saknomi|
21 “That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
pa"scaat sa daaso gatvaa nijaprabho. h saak. saat sarvvav. rttaanta. m nivedayaamaasa, tatosau g. rhapati. h kupitvaa svadaasa. m vyaajahaara, tva. m satvara. m nagarasya sannive"saan maargaa. m"sca gatvaa daridra"su. skakarakha njaandhaan atraanaya|
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
tato daaso. avadat, he prabho bhavata aaj naanusaare. naakriyata tathaapi sthaanamasti|
23 “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.
tadaa prabhu. h puna rdaasaayaakathayat, raajapathaan v. rk. samuulaani ca yaatvaa madiiyag. rhapuura. naartha. m lokaanaagantu. m pravarttaya|
24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
aha. m yu. smabhya. m kathayaami, puurvvanimantritaanamekopi mamaasya raatribhojyasyaasvaada. m na praapsyati|
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
anantara. m bahu. su loke. su yii"so. h pa"scaad vrajite. su satsu sa vyaaghu. tya tebhya. h kathayaamaasa,
26 “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
ya. h ka"scin mama samiipam aagatya svasya maataa pitaa patnii santaanaa bhraataro bhagimyo nijapraa. naa"sca, etebhya. h sarvvebhyo mayyadhika. m prema na karoti, sa mama "si. syo bhavitu. m na "sak. syati|
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
ya. h ka"scit sviiya. m kru"sa. m vahan mama pa"scaanna gacchati, sopi mama "si. syo bhavitu. m na "sak. syati|
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
durganirmmaa. ne kativyayo bhavi. syati, tathaa tasya samaaptikara. naartha. m sampattirasti na vaa, prathamamupavi"sya etanna ga. nayati, yu. smaaka. m madhya etaad. r"sa. h kosti?
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
noced bhitti. m k. rtvaa "se. se yadi samaapayitu. m na "sak. syati,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
tarhi maanu. soya. m nicetum aarabhata samaapayitu. m naa"saknot, iti vyaah. rtya sarvve tamupahasi. syanti|
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
apara nca bhinnabhuupatinaa saha yuddha. m karttum udyamya da"sasahasraa. ni sainyaani g. rhiitvaa vi. m"satisahasre. h sainyai. h sahitasya samiipavaasina. h sammukha. m yaatu. m "sak. syaami na veti prathama. m upavi"sya na vicaarayati etaad. r"so bhuumipati. h ka. h?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
yadi na "saknoti tarhi ripaavatiduure ti. s.thati sati nijaduuta. m pre. sya sandhi. m karttu. m praarthayeta|
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
