Lucam 14

1 et factum est cum intraret in domum cuiusdam principis Pharisaeorum sabbato manducare panem et ipsi observabant eum

And it happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

2 et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum

And look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

3 et respondens Iesus dixit ad legis peritos et Pharisaeos dicens si licet sabbato curare

Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

4 at illi tacuerunt ipse vero adprehensum sanavit eum ac dimisit

But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 et respondens ad illos dixit cuius vestrum asinus aut bos in puteum cadet et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati

He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

6 et non poterant ad haec respondere illi

But they could make no reply to this.

7 dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent dicens ad illos

He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

8 cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias non discumbas in primo loco ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab eo

"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

9 et veniens is qui te et illum vocavit dicat tibi da huic locum et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere

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.

10 sed cum vocatus fueris vade recumbe in novissimo loco ut cum venerit qui te invitavit dicat tibi amice ascende superius tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus

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.

11 quia omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur et qui se humiliat exaltabitur

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

12 dicebat autem et ei qui se invitaverat cum facis prandium aut cenam noli vocare amicos tuos neque fratres tuos neque cognatos neque vicinos divites ne forte et ipsi te reinvitent et fiat tibi retributio

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

13 sed cum facis convivium voca pauperes debiles claudos caecos

But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

14 et beatus eris quia non habent retribuere tibi retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione iustorum

and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

15 haec cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus dixit illi beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei

Now when one of those who were reclining with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the Kingdom of God."

16 at ipse dixit ei homo quidam fecit cenam magnam et vocavit multos

But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

17 et misit servum suum hora cenae dicere invitatis ut venirent quia iam parata sunt omnia

And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

18 et coeperunt simul omnes excusare primus dixit ei villam emi et necesse habeo exire et videre illam rogo te habe me excusatum

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.'

19 et alter dixit iuga boum emi quinque et eo probare illa rogo te habe me excusatum

"Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'

20 et alius dixit uxorem duxi et ideo non possum venire

"Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

21 et reversus servus nuntiavit haec domino suo tunc iratus pater familias dixit servo suo exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis et pauperes ac debiles et caecos et claudos introduc huc

"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.'

22 et ait servus domine factum est ut imperasti et adhuc locus est

"The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'

23 et ait dominus servo exi in vias et sepes et conpelle intrare ut impleatur domus mea

"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 dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt gustabit cenam meam

For I tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

25 ibant autem turbae multae cum eo et conversus dixit ad illos

Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,

26 si quis venit ad me et non odit patrem suum et matrem et uxorem et filios et fratres et sorores adhuc autem et animam suam non potest esse meus discipulus

"If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 et qui non baiulat crucem suam et venit post me non potest esse meus discipulus

Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 quis enim ex vobis volens turrem aedificare non prius sedens conputat sumptus qui necessarii sunt si habet ad perficiendum

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

29 ne posteaquam posuerit fundamentum et non potuerit perficere omnes qui vident incipiant inludere ei

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

30 dicentes quia hic homo coepit aedificare et non potuit consummare

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

31 aut qui rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem non sedens prius cogitat si possit cum decem milibus occurrere ei qui cum viginti milibus venit ad se

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?

32 alioquin adhuc illo longe agente legationem mittens rogat ea quae pacis sunt

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

33 sic ergo omnis ex vobis qui non renuntiat omnibus quae possidet non potest meus esse discipulus

So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

34 bonum est sal si autem sal quoque evanuerit in quo condietur

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

35 neque in terram neque in sterquilinium utile est sed foras mittetur qui habet aures audiendi audiat

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."
