ܠܘܩܘܣ 14

1 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܚܕ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܢܐܟܘܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that they were watching him.

2 ܘܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܟܢܝܫ ܗܘܐ ܡܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ

And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.

3 ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܤܦܪܐ ܘܠܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܐܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܠܡܐܤܝܘ

And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܬܩܘ ܘܐܚܕܗ ܗܘ ܘܐܤܝܗ ܘܫܪܝܗܝ

But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

5 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܢܦܠ ܒܪܗ ܐܘ ܬܘܪܗ ܒܒܪܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܤܩ ܠܗ

And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

6 ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܗ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ

And they were not able to answer him to these things.

7 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܙܡܢܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܥܠ ܕܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܓܒܝܢ ܕܘܟܝܬܐ ܕܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ

And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

8 ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܙܕܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܠܒܝܬ ܡܫܬܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܙܠ ܬܤܬܡܟ ܠܟ ܒܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܙܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܝܩܪ ܡܢܟ

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

9 ܘܢܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܠܟ ܘܠܗ ܩܪܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܕܗܒ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܘܬܒܗܬ ܟܕ ܩܐܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܚܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܚܪܝܬܐ

and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

10 ܐܠܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܙܕܡܢܬ ܙܠ ܐܤܬܡܟ ܠܟ ܒܚܪܬܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܟ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܪܚܡܝ ܐܬܥܠܐ ܠܥܠ ܘܐܤܬܡܟ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܥܡܟ

But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

11 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܪܝܡ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܬܡܟܟ ܘܟܠ ܕܢܡܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܬܬܪܝܡ

for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

12 ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܕܩܪܝܗܝ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܫܪܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܐܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܩܪܐ ܪܚܡܝܟ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܚܝܟ ܐܘ ܐܚܝܢܝܟ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܒܝܟ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܩܪܘܢܟ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܗܢܐ

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

13 ܐܠܐ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܩܘܒܠܐ ܩܪܝ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܤܓܝܦܐ ܚܓܝܤܐ ܤܡܝܐ

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

14 ܘܛܘܒܝܟ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܦܪܥܘܢܟ ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܘܪܥܢܟ ܒܩܝܡܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ

and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

15 ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܤܡܝܟܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܡܢ ܕܢܐܟܘܠ ܠܚܡܐ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܥܒܕ ܐܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܤܓܝܐܐ

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

17 ܘܫܕܪ ܥܒܕܗ ܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܐܚܫܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܗܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܛܝܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܘ

And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

18 ܘܫܪܝܘ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܫܬܐܠܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܙܒܢܬ ܘܐܠܝܨ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܦܘܩ ܐܚܙܝܗ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܫܒܘܩܝܢܝ ܕܡܫܬܐܠ ܐܢܐ

And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

19 ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܚܡܫܐ ܙܘܓܝܢ ܬܘܪܐ ܙܒܢܬ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܒܩܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܫܒܘܩܝܢܝ ܕܡܫܬܐܠ ܐܢܐ

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

20 ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܢܤܒܬ ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ

And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

21 ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܡܪܗ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܪܓܙ ܡܪܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܦܘܩ ܒܥܓܠ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܘܠܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܥܠ ܠܟܐ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܠܡܟܐܒܐ ܘܠܡܚܓܪܐ ܘܠܥܘܝܪܐ

And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

22 ܘܐܡܪ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕܬ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܝܬ ܐܬܪܐ

And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

23 ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܐ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܦܘܩ ܠܐܘܪܚܬܐ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܤܝܓܐ ܘܐܠܘܨ ܕܢܥܠܘܢ ܕܢܬܡܠܐ ܒܝܬܝ

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

24 ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܢܛܥܡܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܚܫܡܝܬܝ

for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

25 ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܬܦܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ

And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

26 ܡܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܤܢܐ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܡܗ ܘܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܚܘܬܗ ܘܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܠܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܦ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ

If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

27 ܘܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܩܠ ܨܠܝܒܗ ܘܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ

and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28 ܡܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܒܢܐ ܡܓܕܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܝܬܒ ܚܫܒ ܢܦܩܬܗ ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܫܠܡܘܬܗ

For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;

29 ܕܠܐ ܟܕ ܢܤܝܡ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܟܚ ܠܡܫܠܡܘ ܟܠ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܒܙܚܝܢ ܒܗ

in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

30 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܒܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܠܡܫܠܡܘ

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

31 ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܙܠ ܠܩܪܒܐ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܥܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܡܬܪܥܐ ܕܐܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܒܥܤܪܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܠܡܐܪܥ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܒܥܤܪܝܢ ܐܠܦܝܢ

Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

32 ܘܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܥܕ ܗܘ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢܗ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܝܙܓܕܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܥܠ ܫܠܡܐ

and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

33 ܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܟܠܗ ܩܢܝܢܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

34 ܫܦܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܚܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܠܚܐ ܬܦܟܗ ܒܡܢܐ ܬܬܡܠܚ

Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35 ܠܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܙܒܠܐ ܐܙܠܐ ܠܒܪ ܫܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ

It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
