< Luke 14 >

1 Then it happened, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.
اَنَنْتَرَں وِشْرامَوارے یِیشَو پْرَدھانَسْیَ پھِرُوشِنو گرِہے بھوکْتُں گَتَوَتِ تے تَں وِیکْشِتُمْ آریبھِرے۔
2 And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!
تَدا جَلودَرِی تَسْیَ سَمُّکھے سْتھِتَح۔
3 And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
تَتَح سَ وْیَوَسْتھاپَکانْ پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ پَپْرَچّھَ، وِشْرامَوارے سْواسْتھْیَں کَرْتَّوْیَں نَ وا؟ تَتَسْتے کِمَپِ نَ پْرَتْیُوچُح۔
4 But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.
تَدا سَ تَں روگِنَں سْوَسْتھَں کرِتْوا وِسَسَرْجَ؛
5 Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
تانُواچَ چَ یُشْماکَں کَسْیَچِدْ گَرْدَّبھو ورِشَبھو وا چیدْ گَرْتّے پَتَتِ تَرْہِ وِشْرامَوارے تَتْکْشَنَں سَ کِں تَں نوتّھاپَیِشْیَتِ؟
6 And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
تَتَسْتے کَتھایا ایتَسْیاح کِمَپِ پْرَتِوَکْتُں نَ شیکُح۔
7 Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:
اَپَرَنْچَ پْرَدھانَسْتھانَمَنونِیتَتْوَکَرَنَں وِلوکْیَ سَ نِمَنْتْرِتانْ ایتَدُپَدیشَکَتھاں جَگادَ،
8 “Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;
تْوَں وِواہادِبھوجْییشُ نِمَنْتْرِتَح سَنْ پْرَدھانَسْتھانے موپاویکْشِیح۔ تْوَتّو گَورَوانْوِتَنِمَنْتْرِتَجَنَ آیاتی
9 then he who invited you both will come and say, ‘You, give this man place!’ and then, with shame, you start to take the lowest place.
نِمَنْتْرَیِتاگَتْیَ مَنُشْیایَیتَسْمَے سْتھانَں دیہِیتِ واکْیَں چیدْ وَکْشْیَتِ تَرْہِ تْوَں سَنْکُچِتو بھُوتْوا سْتھانَ اِتَرَسْمِنْ اُپَویشْٹُمْ اُدْیَںسْیَسِ۔
10 Rather, whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will have honor in the presence of your fellow guests.
اَسْماتْ کارَنادیوَ تْوَں نِمَنْتْرِتو گَتْواپْرَدھانَسْتھانَ اُپَوِشَ، تَتو نِمَنْتْرَیِتاگَتْیَ وَدِشْیَتِ، ہے بَنْدھو پْروچَّسْتھانَں گَتْووپَوِشَ، تَتھا سَتِ بھوجَنوپَوِشْٹاناں سَکَلاناں ساکْشاتْ تْوَں مانْیو بھَوِشْیَسِ۔
11 Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمُنَّمَیَتِ سَ نَمَیِشْیَتے، کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَں نَمَیَتِ سَ اُنَّمَیِشْیَتے۔
12 Then He said directly to His host: “Whenever you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.
تَدا سَ نِمَنْتْرَیِتارَں جَنَمَپِ جَگادَ، مَدھْیاہْنے راتْرَو وا بھوجْیے کرِتے نِجَبَنْدھُگَنو وا بھْراترِگَنو وا جْناتِگَنو وا دھَنِگَنو وا سَمِیپَواسِگَنو وا ایتانْ نَ نِمَنْتْرَیَ، تَتھا کرِتے چیتْ تے تْواں نِمَنْتْرَیِشْیَنْتِ، تَرْہِ پَرِشودھو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
13 But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
کِنْتُ یَدا بھیجْیَں کَروشِ تَدا دَرِدْرَشُشْکَکَرَکھَنْجانْدھانْ نِمَنْتْرَیَ،
14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
تَتَ آشِشَں لَپْسْیَسے، تیشُ پَرِشودھَں کَرْتُّمَشَکْنُوَتْسُ شْمَشانادّھارْمِّکانامُتّھانَکالے تْوَں پھَلاں لَپْسْیَسے۔
15 Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!”
اَنَنْتَرَں تاں کَتھاں نِشَمْیَ بھوجَنوپَوِشْٹَح کَشْچِتْ کَتھَیاماسَ، یو جَنَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیے بھوکْتُں لَپْسْیَتے سَایوَ دھَنْیَح۔
16 So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.
تَتَح سَ اُواچَ، کَشْچِتْ جَنو راتْرَو بھےجْیَں کرِتْوا بَہُونْ نِمَنْتْرَیاماسَ۔
17 And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’
تَتو بھوجَنَسَمَیے نِمَنْتْرِتَلوکانْ آہْواتُں داسَدْوارا کَتھَیاماسَ، کھَدْیَدْرَوْیانِ سَرْوّانِ سَماسادِتانِ سَنْتِ، یُویَماگَچّھَتَ۔
18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’
کِنْتُ تے سَرْوَّ ایکَیکَں چھَلَں کرِتْوا کْشَماں پْرارْتھَیانْچَکْرِرے۔ پْرَتھَمو جَنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، کْشیتْرَمیکَں کْرِیتَوانَہَں تَدیوَ دْرَشْٹُں مَیا گَنْتَوْیَمْ، اَتَایوَ ماں کْشَنْتُں تَں نِویدَیَ۔
19 Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
اَنْیو جَنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، دَشَورِشانَہَں کْرِیتَوانْ تانْ پَرِیکْشِتُں یامِ تَسْمادیوَ ماں کْشَنْتُں تَں نِویدَیَ۔
20 Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’
اَپَرَح کَتھَیاماسَ، وْیُوڈھَوانَہَں تَسْماتْ کارَنادْ یاتُں نَ شَکْنومِ۔
21 So that slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
پَشْچاتْ سَ داسو گَتْوا نِجَپْرَبھوح ساکْشاتْ سَرْوَّورِتّانْتَں نِویدَیاماسَ، تَتوسَو گرِہَپَتِح کُپِتْوا سْوَداسَں وْیاجَہارَ، تْوَں سَتْوَرَں نَگَرَسْیَ سَنِّویشانْ مارْگاںشْچَ گَتْوا دَرِدْرَشُشْکَکَرَکھَنْجانْدھانْ اَتْرانَیَ۔
22 And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
تَتو داسووَدَتْ، ہے پْرَبھو بھَوَتَ آجْنانُساریناکْرِیَتَ تَتھاپِ سْتھانَمَسْتِ۔
23 Then the master said to the slave: ‘Go out to the roads and hedges and make people come in, so that my house may be filled.
تَدا پْرَبھُح پُنَ رْداسایاکَتھَیَتْ، راجَپَتھانْ ورِکْشَمُولانِ چَ یاتْوا مَدِییَگرِہَپُورَنارْتھَں لوکاناگَنْتُں پْرَوَرْتَّیَ۔
24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”
اَہَں یُشْمَبھْیَں کَتھَیامِ، پُورْوَّنِمَنْتْرِتانَمیکوپِ مَماسْیَ راتْرِبھوجْیَسْیاسْوادَں نَ پْراپْسْیَتِ۔
25 Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:
اَنَنْتَرَں بَہُشُ لوکیشُ یِیشوح پَشْچادْ وْرَجِتیشُ سَتْسُ سَ وْیاگھُٹْیَ تیبھْیَح کَتھَیاماسَ،
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
یَح کَشْچِنْ مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَتْیَ سْوَسْیَ ماتا پِتا پَتْنِی سَنْتانا بھْراتَرو بھَگِمْیو نِجَپْراناشْچَ، ایتیبھْیَح سَرْوّیبھْیو مَیَّدھِکَں پْریمَ نَ کَروتِ، سَ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔
27 And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَں کْرُشَں وَہَنْ مَمَ پَشْچانَّ گَچّھَتِ، سوپِ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔
28 “Further, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
دُرْگَنِرْمّانے کَتِوْیَیو بھَوِشْیَتِ، تَتھا تَسْیَ سَماپْتِکَرَنارْتھَں سَمْپَتِّرَسْتِ نَ وا، پْرَتھَمَمُپَوِشْیَ ایتَنَّ گَنَیَتِ، یُشْماکَں مَدھْیَ ایتادرِشَح کوسْتِ؟
29 This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,
نوچیدْ بھِتِّں کرِتْوا شیشے یَدِ سَماپَیِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ،
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
تَرْہِ مانُشویَں نِچیتُمْ آرَبھَتَ سَماپَیِتُں ناشَکْنوتْ، اِتِ وْیاہرِتْیَ سَرْوّے تَمُپَہَسِشْیَنْتِ۔
31 “Or what king, going to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
اَپَرَنْچَ بھِنَّبھُوپَتِنا سَہَ یُدّھَں کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَمْیَ دَشَسَہَسْرانِ سَینْیانِ گرِہِیتْوا وِںشَتِسَہَسْریح سَینْیَیح سَہِتَسْیَ سَمِیپَواسِنَح سَمُّکھَں یاتُں شَکْشْیامِ نَ ویتِ پْرَتھَمَں اُپَوِشْیَ نَ وِچارَیَتِ ایتادرِشو بھُومِپَتِح کَح؟
32 And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.
یَدِ نَ شَکْنوتِ تَرْہِ رِپاوَتِدُورے تِشْٹھَتِ سَتِ نِجَدُوتَں پْریشْیَ سَنْدھِں کَرْتُّں پْرارْتھَییتَ۔
33 “So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
تَدْوَدْ یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے یَح کَشْچِنْ مَدَرْتھَں سَرْوَّسْوَں ہاتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ سَ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔
34 Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?
لَوَنَمْ اُتَّمَمْ اِتِ سَتْیَں، کِنْتُ یَدِ لَوَنَسْیَ لَوَنَتْوَمْ اَپَگَچّھَتِ تَرْہِ تَتْ کَتھَں سْوادُیُکْتَں بھَوِشْیَتِ؟
35 It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
تَدَ بھُومْیَرْتھَمْ آلَوالَراشْیَرْتھَمَپِ بھَدْرَں نَ بھَوَتِ؛ لوکاسْتَدْ بَہِح کْشِپَنْتِ۔ یَسْیَ شْروتُں شْروتْرے سْتَح سَ شرِنوتُ۔
