Luka 14

1 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.

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 In glej, pred njim je bil nek človek, ki je imel vodenico.

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

3 In Jezus je izvedencem v postavi in farizejem odgovarjal ter govoril, rekoč: »Ali je zakonito zdraviti na šabatni dan?«

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

4 Oni pa so molčali. In prijel ga je in ozdravil ter ga pustil oditi,

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

5 in odgovoril jim je, rekoč: »Komu izmed vas pade osel ali vol v jamo in ga ne bo nemudoma, na šabatni dan, izvlekel ven?«

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 In ponovno mu niso mogli odgovoriti na te stvari.

And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 In ko je opazil, kako izbirajo vodilna mesta, je tem, ki so bili povabljeni, podal prispodobo, rekoč jim:

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 »Kadar te katerikoli človek povabi na poroko, se ne usedi na najvišje mesto, da ne bi le-ta povabil častitljivejšega človeka, kakor si ti,

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 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.

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 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.

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 Kajti kdorkoli se povišuje, bo ponižan, kdor pa se ponižuje, bo povišan.«

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

12 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.

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 Toda kadar pripravljaš pojedino, pokliči revne, pohabljene, hrome, slepe

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

14 in boš blagoslovljen, ker ti ne morejo poplačati, kajti poplačano ti bo ob vstajenju pravičnih.«

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

15 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.«

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 On pa mu je potem rekel: »Neki človek je priredil veliko večerjo in povabil mnoge.

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

17 Ob času večerje pa je poslal svojega služabnika, da pove tem, ki so bili povabljeni: ›Pridite, kajti sedaj so vse stvari pripravljene.‹

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

18 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.‹

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 In drugi je rekel: ›Kupil sem pet jarmov volov in grem, da jih preizkusim. Prosim te, imej me za opravičenega.‹

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

20 In drugi je rekel: ›Poročil sem ženo in zato ne morem priti.‹

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

21 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.‹

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 In služabnik je rekel: ›Gospod, narejeno je, kakor si zapovedal in še je prostor.‹

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

23 In gospodar je rekel služabniku: ›Pojdi ven na glavne ceste ter ograje in jih prisili, da vstopijo, da se bo moja hiša lahko napolnila.‹

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 Kajti povem vam: ›Da nihče izmed tistih ljudi, ki so bili povabljeni, ne bo okusil moje večerje.‹«

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

25 In z njim so šle velike množice, on pa se je obrnil in jim rekel:

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

26 »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.

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 In kdorkoli ne nosi svojega križa in ne sledi meni, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

28 Kajti kdo izmed vas, ki hoče zgraditi stolp, se prej ne usede in ne prešteje stroška, ali ima zadosti, da ga dokonča?

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 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,

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

30 rekoč: ›Ta človek je začel graditi, pa ni bil zmožen dokončati.‹

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

31 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?

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 Sicer, dokler je drugi še daleč, on pošlje poslanstvo in prosi pogoje za mir.

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

33 Torej podobno, kdorkoli izmed vas, ki ne zapusti vsega, kar ima, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

34 Sol je dobra, toda če je sol izgubila svoj okus, s čim se bo začinila?

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

35 Niti ni primerna za zemljo niti za gnojišče, temveč jo ljudje mečejo ven. Kdor ima ušesa, da slišijo, naj posluša.«

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.
