Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Ja kun hän sapattina tuli erään fariseusten johtomiehen taloon aterialle, pitivät he häntä silmällä.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Ja katso, siellä oli vesitautinen mies hänen edessään.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Niin Jeesus rupesi puhumaan lainoppineille ja fariseuksille ja sanoi: "Onko luvallista parantaa sapattina, vai eikö?" Mutta he olivat vaiti.
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Ja hän koski mieheen, paransi hänet ja laski menemään.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
Ja hän sanoi heille: "Jos joltakin teistä putoaa poika tai härkä kaivoon, eikö hän heti vedä sitä ylös sapatinpäivänäkin?"
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Eivätkä he kyenneet vastaamaan tähän.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Ja huomatessaan, kuinka kutsutut valitsivat itselleen ensimmäisiä sijoja, hän puhui heille vertauksen ja sanoi heille:
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
"Kun joku on kutsunut sinut häihin, älä asetu aterioimaan ensimmäiselle sijalle; sillä, jos hän on kutsunut jonkun sinua arvollisemman,
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
niin hän, joka on sinut ja hänet kutsunut, ehkä tulee ja sanoo sinulle: 'Anna tälle sija', ja silloin sinä saat häveten siirtyä viimeiselle paikalle.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Vaan kun olet kutsuttu, mene ja asetu viimeiselle sijalle, ja niin on se, joka on sinut kutsunut, sisään tullessaan sanova sinulle: 'Ystäväni, astu ylemmäksi'. Silloin tulee sinulle kunnia kaikkien pöytäkumppaniesi edessä.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Sillä jokainen, joka itsensä ylentää, alennetaan, ja joka itsensä alentaa, se ylennetään."
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Ja hän sanoi myös sille, joka oli hänet kutsunut: "Kun laitat päivälliset tai illalliset, älä kutsu ystäviäsi, älä veljiäsi, älä sukulaisiasi äläkä rikkaita naapureita, etteivät hekin vuorostaan kutsuisi sinua, ja ettet sinä siten saisi maksua.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Vaan kun laitat pidot, kutsu köyhiä, raajarikkoja, rampoja, sokeita;
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
niin sinä olet oleva autuas, koska he eivät voi maksaa sinulle; sillä sinulle maksetaan vanhurskasten ylösnousemuksessa."
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Tämän kuullessaan eräs pöytäkumppaneista sanoi hänelle: "Autuas se, joka saa olla aterialla Jumalan valtakunnassa!"
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Niin hän sanoi hänelle: "Eräs mies laittoi suuret illalliset ja kutsui monta.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
Ja illallisajan tullessa hän lähetti palvelijansa sanomaan kutsutuille: 'Tulkaa, sillä kaikki on jo valmiina'.
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Mutta he rupesivat kaikki järjestään estelemään. Ensimmäinen sanoi hänelle: 'Minä ostin pellon, ja minun täytyy lähteä sitä katsomaan; pyydän sinua, pidä minut estettynä'.
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Toinen sanoi: 'Minä ostin viisi paria härkiä ja menen niitä koettelemaan; pyydän sinua, pidä minut estettynä'.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Vielä toinen sanoi: 'Minä otin vaimon, ja sentähden en voi tulla'.
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
Ja palvelija tuli takaisin ja ilmoitti herralleen tämän. Silloin isäntä vihastui ja sanoi palvelijalleen: 'Mene kiiruusti kaupungin kaduille ja kujille ja tuo köyhät ja raajarikot, sokeat ja rammat tänne sisälle'.
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
Ja palvelija sanoi: 'Herra, on tehty, minkä käskit, ja vielä on tilaa'.
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
Niin Herra sanoi palvelijalle: 'Mene teille ja aitovierille ja pakota heitä tulemaan sisälle, että minun taloni täyttyisi;
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
sillä minä sanon teille, ettei yksikään niistä miehistä, jotka olivat kutsutut, ole maistava minun illallisiani'."
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Ja hänen mukanaan kulki paljon kansaa; ja hän kääntyi ja sanoi heille:
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
"Jos joku tulee minun tyköni eikä vihaa isäänsä ja äitiänsä ja vaimoaan ja lapsiaan ja veljiään ja sisariaan, vieläpä omaa elämäänsäkin, hän ei voi olla minun opetuslapseni.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
Ja joka ei kanna ristiänsä ja seuraa minua, se ei voi olla minun opetuslapseni.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Sillä jos joku teistä tahtoo rakentaa tornin, eikö hän ensin istu laskemaan kustannuksia, nähdäkseen, onko hänellä varoja rakentaa se valmiiksi,
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
etteivät, kun hän on pannut perustuksen, mutta ei kykene saamaan rakennusta valmiiksi, kaikki, jotka sen näkevät, rupeaisi pilkkaamaan häntä
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
sanoen: 'Tuo mies ryhtyi rakentamaan, mutta ei kyennyt saamaan valmiiksi'?
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
Tahi jos joku kuningas tahtoo lähteä sotimaan toista kuningasta vastaan, eikö hän ensin istu ja pidä neuvoa, kykeneekö hän kymmenellä tuhannella kohtaamaan sitä, joka tulee häntä vastaan kahdellakymmenellä tuhannella?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Ja ellei kykene, niin hän, toisen vielä ollessa kaukana, lähettää hänen luoksensa lähettiläät hieromaan rauhaa.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Niin ei myös teistä yksikään, joka ei luovu kaikesta, mitä hänellä on, voi olla minun opetuslapseni.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
Suola on hyvä; mutta jos suolakin käy mauttomaksi, millä se saadaan suolaiseksi?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Ei se kelpaa maahan eikä lantaan; se heitetään pois. Jolla on korvat kuulla, se kuulkoon!"
