Luke 14

1 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.

και εγενετο εν τω ελθειν αυτον εις οικον τινος των αρχοντων των φαρισαιων σαββατω φαγειν αρτον και αυτοι ησαν παρατηρουμενοι αυτον

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

και ιδου ανθρωπος τις ην υδρωπικος εμπροσθεν αυτου

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

και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν προς τους νομικους και φαρισαιους λεγων ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν

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

οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενος ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν

5 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?

και αποκριθεις προς αυτους ειπεν τινος υμων υιος η βους εις φρεαρ εμπεσειται και ουκ ευθεως ανασπασει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου

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

και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προς ταυτα

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

ελεγεν δε προς τους κεκλημενους παραβολην επεχων πως τας πρωτοκλισιας εξελεγοντο λεγων προς αυτους

8 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,

οταν κληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους μη κατακλιθης εις την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτερος σου η κεκλημενος υπ αυτου

9 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.

και ελθων ο σε και αυτον καλεσας ερει σοι δος τουτω τοπον και τοτε αρξη μετ αισχυνης τον εσχατον τοπον κατεχειν

10 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;

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

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

οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται

12 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.

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 γενησεται σοι ανταποδομα

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

αλλ οταν ποιης δοχην καλει πτωχους αναπηρους χωλους τυφλους

14 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.

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

15 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.

ακουσας δε τις των συνανακειμενων ταυτα ειπεν αυτω μακαριος ος φαγεται αριστον εν τη βασιλεια του θεου

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

ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπος τις εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλους

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

και απεστειλεν τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου ειπειν τοις κεκλημενοις ερχεσθε οτι ηδη ετοιμα εστιν παντα

18 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.

και ηρξαντο απο μιας παραιτεισθαι παντες ο πρωτος ειπεν αυτω αγρον ηγορασα και εχω αναγκην εξελθειν και ιδειν αυτον ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον

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

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

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

και ετερος ειπεν γυναικα εγημα και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν

21 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.

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

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

και ειπεν ο δουλος κυριε γεγονεν ως επεταξας και ετι τοπος εστιν

23 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;

και ειπεν ο κυριος προς τον δουλον εξελθε εις τας οδους και φραγμους και αναγκασον εισελθειν ινα γεμισθη ο οικος μου

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

λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεις των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου

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

συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και στραφεις ειπεν προς αυτους

26 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;

ει τις ερχεται προς με και ου μισει τον πατερα εαυτου 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

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

και οστις ου βασταζει τον σταυρον εαυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητης

28 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;

τις γαρ εξ υμων θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι ουχι πρωτον καθισας ψηφιζει την δαπανην ει εχει τα προς απαρτισμον

29 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,

ινα μηποτε θεντος αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυσαντος εκτελεσαι παντες οι θεωρουντες αρξωνται αυτω εμπαιζειν

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

λεγοντες οτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος ηρξατο οικοδομειν και ουκ ισχυσεν εκτελεσαι

31 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?

η τις βασιλευς πορευομενος συμβαλειν ετερω βασιλει εις πολεμον ουχι πρωτον καθισας βουλευεται ει δυνατος εστιν εν δεκα χιλιασιν απαντησαι τω μετα εικοσι χιλιαδων ερχομενω επ αυτον

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

ει δε μηγε ετι πορρω αυτου οντος πρεσβειαν αποστειλας ερωτα τα προς ειρηνην

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

ουτως ουν πας εξ υμων ος ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοις εαυτου υπαρχουσιν ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητης

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

καλον το αλας εαν δε και το αλας μωρανθη εν τινι αρτυθησεται

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

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