< Luke 14 >

1 One Sabbath Jesus went to have a meal at the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees where they watched him closely.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲙ̅ⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲧⲏⲣⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
2 A man was there whose arms and legs were swollen.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲩⲇⲣⲱⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲧⲉϥϩⲏ.
3 So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath, or not?”
ⲅ̅ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲙⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ϫⲉⲛⲟⲩⲕ ⲉⲝⲉⲥⲧⲓ.
4 But they kept quiet. Jesus touched the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲟϥ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “If your son or your ox happened to fall into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn't you go and pull him out immediately?”
ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧʾⲧⲏⲟⲩⲧⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲏ ⲡⲉϥⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲛⲁⲛⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡʾⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ
6 They weren't able to give an answer.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲟⲩⲟϣⲃⲉϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲉⲓ·
7 So he told a story to the guests, noticing how they'd chosen to sit in places of honor.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧʾⲧⲁϩⲙ̅ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲡ̅ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ
8 “When you're invited to a wedding reception, don't take the place of honor, because someone more important than you may have been invited,” he began.
ⲏ̅ϫⲉ. ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲁ ⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲛⲟϫⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲏⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ
9 “Your host who invited you both will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then in embarrassment you'll have to move to whatever place is left.
ⲑ̅ⲛϥ̅ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲛϥ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲡⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲕⲛⲁⲁⲣⲭⲓ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉϫⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲉ.
10 Instead, when you're invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he'll tell you, ‘My friend, please move to a better seat.’ Then you'll be honored before all the guests sitting with you.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩϣⲁⲛⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲅ̅ⲛⲟϫⲕ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲉ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲛϥ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉϣⲃⲏⲣ ⲟ̅ⲗⲉⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡϫⲓⲥⲉ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲏϫ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
11 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

12 Then he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, for they may invite you back, and then you'd be repaid.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲛ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲇⲉⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲕϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲕⲥⲩⲅⲅⲉⲛⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲧⲟⲩⲱⲕ. ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲕ ⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩⲧⲟⲩⲓ̈ⲟ̅ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ.
13 Instead, when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲕϣⲁⲛⲣ̅ⲟⲩϣⲟⲡⲥ̅. ⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ̅. ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲁⲗⲉ. ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲃⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ.
14 and you will be blessed, for they have nothing to repay you with, and you'll be rewarded at the resurrection of the good.”

15 When one of them eating at the table with Jesus heard this, he said to Jesus, “How wonderful it will be for those who feast in the kingdom of God!”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲏϫ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
16 “Once there was a man who prepared a great banquet, and invited many guests,” Jesus replied.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ. ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲉϩⲙ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ.
17 “When it was time to eat he sent his servant out to tell everyone who had been invited, ‘Come, because the banquet's ready.’
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲇⲉⲓⲡⲛⲟⲛ ⲉϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲧⲁϩⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ.
18 But they all started to make excuses. The first said, ‘I've just bought a field and I have to go and see it. Please excuse me.’

19 Another said, ‘I've just bought five pairs of oxen and have to go and try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said,

20 ‘I've just got married, so I can't come.’

21 The servant returned and told his master what they'd said. The home-owner became angry and told his servant, ‘Quickly, go out into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲇⲉ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉϥϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϭⲉⲡⲏ ⲉⲛⲉⲡⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲓⲣ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲕⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲕⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ⲃⲗ̅ⲗⲉ. ⲛⲙ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲁⲗⲉ. ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ.
22 Then the servant said, ‘Master, I did what you told me, but there are still empty places.’

23 So the master told the servant, ‘Go out on the country roads and lanes, and make people come—I want my house to be full.

25 A large crowd was accompanying Jesus. He turned to them and said,

29 Otherwise, if after laying the foundation you weren't able to finish it, everyone who saw it would laugh at you, saying,
