< Luke 14 >

1 On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely.
In zgodí se, ko vnide v hišo enega od starešin Farizejskih v soboto kruh jest, pa so oni na-nj pazili.
2 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
In glej, neki človek vodeničen je bil pred njim.
3 “Is it allowable,” said Jesus, addressing the Students of the Law and the Pharisees, “to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?”
In odgovarjajoč Jezus, reče učenikom postave in Farizejem, govoreč: Ali se sme v soboto zdraviti?
4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
Oni pa umolknejo. In prijemši ga, uzdravi ga in odpustí.
5 And he said to them: “Which of you, finding that his son or his ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?”
In odgovarjajoč jim, reče: Komu od vas bo padel osel ali vol v vodnjak in ga ne bo izvlekel na sobotni dan?
6 And they could not make any answer to that.
In niso mu mogli odgovoriti na to.
7 Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable —
Pravil je pa povabljenim priliko, opazivši, kako izbirajo prve prostore, govoreč jim:
8 “When you are invited by any one to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place, for fear that some one of higher rank should have been invited by your host;
Kedar te kdo povabi na svatovščino, ne sédaj na prve prostore, da ne bi bil med tistimi, kteri so povabljeni od njega, kdo pošteniji od tebe,
9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you ‘Make room for this man,’ and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
In ne pride ta, kteri je tebe in njega povabil, in ti ne reče: Daj temu prostor! in ne boš tedaj s sramoto sédel na zadnji prostor.
10 No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you ‘Friend, come higher up’; and then you will be honoured in the eyes of all your fellow-guests.
Nego kedar si povabljen in prideš, sédi na zadnji prostor, da ti ta, kteri te je povabil, kedar pride, poreče: Prijatelj, pomakni se više! tedaj ti bo čast pred tistimi, kteri sedé s teboj.
11 For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Kajti vsak, kdor se povišuje, ponižal se bo; a kdor se ponižuje, povišal se bo.
12 Then Jesus went on to say to the man who had invited him: “When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not ask your friends, or your brothers, or your relations, or rich neighbours, for fear that they should invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
Pravil je pa tudi temu, kteri ga je bil povabil: Kedar napraviš obed ali pojedinjo, ne vabi prijateljev svojih, ne bratov svojih, ne sorodnikov svojih, ne sosedov bogatih: da te ne bi tudi oni povabili, in ti se ne bi vrnilo.
13 No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
Nego, kedar napraviš gostijo, povabi siromake, polomljene, hrome, slepce:
14 and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot recompense you; for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the good.”
In blagor ti, da ti nimajo s čim povrniti! povrnilo ti se bo namreč o vstajanji pravičnih.
15 One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed: “Happy will he be who shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God!”
Slišavši pa to nekdo od téh, kteri so ž njim sedeli za mizo, reče mu: Blagor mu, kdor bo v kraljestvu Božjem jedel kruh!
16 But Jesus said to him: “A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
On mu pa reče: Neki človek je napravil pojedinjo; in povabil jih je veliko.
17 and sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
In poslal je hlapca svojega v čas pojedinje, naj reče povabljencem: Pridite, ker je uže vse pripravljeno!
18 They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first man said to the servant ‘I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me excused.’
In začnó se vsi h krati izgovarjati. Prvi mu reče: Njivo sem kupil, in silno mi je treba, da izidem in jo ogledam, prosim te, izgovori me.
19 The next said ‘I have bought five pairs of bullocks, and I am on my way to try them. I must ask you to consider me excused’;
A drugi reč: Pet jarmov volov sem kupil, in grem jih izkušat; prosim te, izgovóri me.
20 while the next said ‘I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
Zopet drugi pa: Oženil sem se, in zato ne morem priti.
21 On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant ‘Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.’
In ko ta hlapec pride, sporočí to gospodarju svojemu. Tedaj se gospodar razjezí, in reče hlapcu svojemu: Izidi naglo na razpotja in ulice mestne, in pripelji sêm siromake in polomljene in hrome in slepce.
22 Presently the servant said ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’
In hlapec reče: Gospod, zgodilo se je, kakor si ukazal, in še je prostora.
23 ‘Go out,’ the master said, ‘into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;
Pa reče gospodar hlapcu: Pojdi na pota in med ograje, in prinudi, naj vnidejo, da se napolni hiša moja;
24 for I tell you all that not one of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.’”
Kajti pravim vam, da ne bo nobeden onih móž, kteri so bili povabljeni, okusil pojedinje moje.
25 One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them:
Shajalo se je pa veliko ljudstva; in obrnivši se, reče jim;
26 “If any man comes to me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and his very life, he can be no disciple of mine.
Če pride kdo k meni, pa ne sovraži očeta svojega in matere, in žene in otrók, in bratov in sester, in tudi lastne duše svoje, ne more moj učenec biti.
27 Whoever does not carry his own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
In kdor ne zadene križa svojega, in gre za menoj, ne more moj učenec biti.
28 Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? —
Kdo namreč izmed vas, kedar hoče stolp zidati, ne bo proprej sédel in preračunil stroškov, če ima pač, da ga bo dozidal?
29 For fear that, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, every one who sees it should begin to laugh at him,
Da mu ne bi, ko bi postavil temelj, pa ne bi mogel dozidati, vsi, kteri bi to videli, jeli posmehovati se,
30 and say ‘Here is a man who began to build and was not able to finish!’
Govoreč: Ta človek je jel zidati, pa ni mogel dozidati!
31 Or what king, when he is setting out to fight another king, does not first sit down and consider if with ten thousand men he is able to meet one who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
Ali kteri kralj, kedar se gre z drugim kraljem vojskovat, ne bo sédel, in se poprej posvetoval, če se bo pač mogel z desetémi tisočmi srečati s tém, kteri gre z dvajsetémi tisočmi nad-nj?
32 And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
In če ne, poslal bo, dokler je še ta daleč, poslance, ter bo prosil mirú.
33 And so with every one of you who does not bid farewell to all he has — he cannot be a disciple of mine.
Tako torej vsak izmed vas, kdor se ne odreče imenja svojega, ne more moj učenec biti.
34 Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what shall be used to season it?
Dobra je sol; če pa sol znorí, s čim se bo osolila?
35 It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. Men throw it away. Let him who has ears to hear with hear!”
Ne za v zemljo ne za v gnoj ni dobra; mečejo jo proč. Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!
