Κατα Λουκαν 14

1 και εγενετο εν τω ελθειν αυτον εισ οικον τινοσ των αρχοντων των φαρισαιων σαββατω φαγειν αρτον και αυτοι ησαν παρατηρουμενοι αυτον

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.

2 και ιδου ανθρωποσ τισ ην υδρωπικοσ εμπροσθεν αυτου

And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.

3 και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ τουσ νομικουσ και φαρισαιουσ λεγων ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν

And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4 οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενοσ ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν

And they held their peace. And he took [him] and healed him, and let him go;

5 και αποκριθεισ προσ αυτουσ ειπεν τινοσ υμων υιοσ η βουσ εισ φρεαρ εμπεσειται και ουκ ευθεωσ ανασπασει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?

6 και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προσ ταυτα

And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 ελεγεν δε προσ τουσ κεκλημενουσ παραβολην επεχων πωσ τασ πρωτοκλισιασ εξελεγοντο λεγων προσ αυτουσ

And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,

8 οταν κληθησ υπο τινοσ εισ γαμουσ μη κατακλιθησ εισ την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτεροσ σου η κεκλημενοσ υπ αυτου

When thou art invited by any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;

9 και ελθων ο σε και αυτον καλεσασ ερει σοι δοσ τουτω τοπον και τοτε αρξη μετ αισχυνησ τον εσχατον τοπον κατεχειν

And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

10 αλλ οταν κληθησ πορευθεισ αναπεσε εισ τον εσχατον τοπον ινα οταν ελθη ο κεκληκωσ σε ειπη σοι φιλε προσαναβηθι ανωτερον τοτε εσται σοι δοξα ενωπιον των συνανακειμενων σοι

But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

11 οτι πασ ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται

For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 ελεγεν δε και τω κεκληκοτι αυτον οταν ποιησ αριστον η δειπνον μη φωνει τουσ φιλουσ σου μηδε τουσ αδελφουσ σου μηδε τουσ συγγενεισ σου μηδε γειτονασ πλουσιουσ μηποτε και αυτοι σε αντικαλεσωσιν και γενηται σοι ανταποδομα

Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

13 αλλ οταν ποιησ δοχην καλει πτωχουσ αναπηρουσ χωλουσ τυφλουσ

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

14 και μακαριοσ εση οτι ουκ εχουσιν ανταποδουναι σοι ανταποδοθησεται γαρ σοι εν τη αναστασει των δικαιων

And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

15 ακουσασ δε τισ των συνανακειμενων ταυτα ειπεν αυτω μακαριοσ οσ φαγεται αριστον εν τη βασιλεια του θεου

And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωποσ τισ εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλουσ

Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

17 και απεστειλεν τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου ειπειν τοισ κεκλημενοισ ερχεσθε οτι ηδη ετοιμα εστιν παντα

And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

18 και ηρξαντο απο μιασ παραιτεισθαι παντεσ ο πρωτοσ ειπεν αυτω αγρον ηγορασα και εχω αναγκην εξελθειν και ιδειν αυτον ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον

And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

19 και ετεροσ ειπεν ζευγη βοων ηγορασα πεντε και πορευομαι δοκιμασαι αυτα ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 και ετεροσ ειπεν γυναικα εγημα και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν

And another said, I have married a wife: and therefore I cannot come.

21 και παραγενομενοσ ο δουλοσ εκεινοσ απηγγειλεν τω κυριω αυτου ταυτα τοτε οργισθεισ ο οικοδεσποτησ ειπεν τω δουλω αυτου εξελθε ταχεωσ εισ τασ πλατειασ και ρυμασ τησ πολεωσ και τουσ πτωχουσ και αναπηρουσ και χωλουσ και τυφλουσ εισαγαγε ωδε

So that servant came, and showed 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 hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 και ειπεν ο δουλοσ κυριε γεγονεν ωσ επεταξασ και ετι τοποσ εστιν

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 και ειπεν ο κυριοσ προσ τον δουλον εξελθε εισ τασ οδουσ και φραγμουσ και αναγκασον εισελθειν ινα γεμισθη ο οικοσ μου

And 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.

24 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεισ των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.

25 συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και στραφεισ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,

26 ει τισ ερχεται προσ με και ου μισει τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και την γυναικα και τα τεκνα και τουσ αδελφουσ και τασ αδελφασ ετι δε και την εαυτου ψυχην ου δυναται μου μαθητησ ειναι

If any [man] cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 και οστισ ου βασταζει τον σταυρον αυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητησ

And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 τισ γαρ εξ υμων ο θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι ουχι πρωτον καθισασ ψηφιζει την δαπανην ει εχει τα εισ απαρτισμον

For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath [sufficient] to finish [it]?

29 ινα μηποτε θεντοσ αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυοντοσ εκτελεσαι παντεσ οι θεωρουντεσ αρξωνται εμπαιζειν αυτω

Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,

30 λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ ο ανθρωποσ ηρξατο οικοδομειν και ουκ ισχυσεν εκτελεσαι

Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

31 η τισ βασιλευσ πορευομενοσ συμβαλειν ετερω βασιλει εισ πολεμον ουχι καθισασ πρωτον βουλευεται ει δυνατοσ εστιν εν δεκα χιλιασιν απαντησαι τω μετα εικοσι χιλιαδων ερχομενω επ αυτον

Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 ει δε μηγε ετι πορρω αυτου οντοσ πρεσβειαν αποστειλασ ερωτα τα προσ ειρηνην

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 ουτωσ ουν πασ εξ υμων οσ ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοισ εαυτου υπαρχουσιν ου δυναται μου ειναι μαθητησ

So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 καλον το αλασ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αρτυθησεται

Salt [is] good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?

35 ουτε εισ γην ουτε εισ κοπριαν ευθετον εστιν εξω βαλλουσιν αυτο ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω

It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
