Luke 14

1 And it happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, 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 look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

και ιδου ανθρωποσ τισ ην υδρωπικοσ εμπροσθεν αυτου

3 Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν προσ τουσ νομικουσ και φαρισαιουσ λεγων ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν

4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενοσ ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν

5 He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a 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 But they could make no reply to this.

και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προσ ταυτα

7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

ελεγεν δε προσ τουσ κεκλημενουσ παραβολην επεχων πωσ τασ πρωτοκλισιασ εξελεγοντο λεγων προσ αυτουσ

8 "When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might 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 both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest 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 you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

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 everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

οτι πασ ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται

12 He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

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 γενηται σοι ανταποδομα

13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

αλλ οταν ποιησ δοχην καλει πτωχουσ αναπηρουσ χωλουσ τυφλουσ

14 and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

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

15 Now when one of those who were reclining with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will 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 But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωποσ τισ εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλουσ

17 And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

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

18 They all as one began to make excuses. "The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me 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 "Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'

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

20 "Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

και ετεροσ ειπεν γυναικα εγημα και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν

21 "That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.'

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 "The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'

και ειπεν ο δουλοσ κυριε γεγονεν ωσ επεταξασ και ετι τοποσ εστιν

23 "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.

και ειπεν ο κυριοσ προσ τον δουλον εξελθε εισ τασ οδουσ και φραγμουσ και αναγκασον εισελθειν ινα γεμισθη ο οικοσ μου

24 For I tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεισ των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι

25 Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,

συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και στραφεισ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ

26 "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

ει τισ ερχεται προσ με και ου μισει τον πατερα αυτου 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 Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

και οστισ ου βασταζει τον σταυρον αυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητησ

28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

τισ γαρ εξ υμων ο θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι ουχι πρωτον καθισασ ψηφιζει την δαπανην ει εχει τα εισ απαρτισμον

29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

ινα μηποτε θεντοσ αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυοντοσ εκτελεσαι παντεσ οι θεωρουντεσ αρξωνται εμπαιζειν αυτω

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, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

η τισ βασιλευσ πορευομενοσ συμβαλειν ετερω βασιλει εισ πολεμον ουχι καθισασ πρωτον βουλευεται ει δυνατοσ εστιν εν δεκα χιλιασιν απαντησαι τω μετα εικοσι χιλιαδων ερχομενω επ αυτον

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

ει δε μηγε ετι πορρω αυτου οντοσ πρεσβειαν αποστειλασ ερωτα τα προσ ειρηνην

33 So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

ουτωσ ουν πασ εξ υμων οσ ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοισ εαυτου υπαρχουσιν ου δυναται μου ειναι μαθητησ

34 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

καλον το αλασ εαν δε το αλασ μωρανθη εν τινι αρτυθησεται

35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

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