1 και εγενετο εν τω ελθειν αυτον εις οικον τινος των αρχοντων των φαρισαιων σαββατω φαγειν αρτον και αυτοι ησαν παρατηρουμενοι αυτον
And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
2 και ιδου ανθρωπος τις ην υδρωπικος εμπροσθεν αυτου
And behold, there was a certain man in front of him afflicted with edema.
3 και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν προς τους νομικους και φαρισαιους λεγων ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν
And having responded, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it permitted to heal on the sabbath?
4 οι δε ησυχασαν και επιλαβομενος ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν
But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him.
5 και αποκριθεις προς αυτους ειπεν τινος υμων υιος η βους εις φρεαρ εμπεσειται και ουκ ευθεως ανασπασει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου
And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath?
6 και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προς ταυτα
And they could not answer him back to these things.
7 ελεγεν δε προς τους κεκλημενους παραβολην επεχων πως τας πρωτοκλισιας εξελεγοντο λεγων προς αυτους
And he spoke a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose out the chief places, saying to them,
8 οταν κληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους μη κατακλιθης εις την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτερος σου η κεκλημενος υπ αυτου
When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.
9 και ελθων ο σε και αυτον καλεσας ερει σοι δος τουτω τοπον και τοτε αρξη μετ αισχυνης τον εσχατον τοπον κατεχειν
And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place.
10 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
But when thou are invited, having gone, sit down in the last place, so that when he who has invited thee comes, he will say to thee, Friend, go up higher, then it will be esteem to thee in the presence of those dining with thee.
11 οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται
Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
12 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 γενησεται σοι ανταποδομα
And he also said to the man who invited him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor prosperous neighbors, lest they also invite thee in return, and a recompense be made to thee.
13 αλλ οταν ποιης δοχην καλει πτωχους αναπηρους χωλους τυφλους
But when thou make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
14 και μακαριος εση οτι ουκ εχουσιν ανταποδουναι σοι ανταποδοθησεται γαρ σοι εν τη αναστασει των δικαιων
and thou will be blessed, because they do not have to recompense thee, for it will be recompensed to thee at the resurrection of the righteous.
15 ακουσας δε τις των συνανακειμενων ταυτα ειπεν αυτω μακαριος ος φαγεται αριστον εν τη βασιλεια του θεου
And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.
16 ο δε ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπος τις εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλους
And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many.
17 και απεστειλεν τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου ειπειν τοις κεκλημενοις ερχεσθε οτι ηδη ετοιμα εστιν παντα
And he sent forth his bondman at the hour of the meal to say to those who were invited, Come, because all things are now ready.
18 και ηρξαντο απο μιας παραιτεισθαι παντες ο πρωτος ειπεν αυτω αγρον ηγορασα και εχω αναγκην εξελθειν και ιδειν αυτον ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
And they all from one began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I have need to go out and see it. I ask thee have me excused.
19 και ετερος ειπεν ζευγη βοων ηγορασα πεντε και πορευομαι δοκιμασαι αυτα ερωτω σε εχε με παρητημενον
And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them. I ask thee have me excused.
20 και ετερος ειπεν γυναικα εγημα και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν
And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I cannot come.
21 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
And that bondman, having come, he informed his lord these things. Then the house-ruler having become angry, he said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the thoroughfares and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and maimed and crippled and blind.
22 και ειπεν ο δουλος κυριε γεγονεν ως επεταξας και ετι τοπος εστιν
And the bondman said, Lord, as thou commanded it has happened, and yet there is room.
23 και ειπεν ο κυριος προς τον δουλον εξελθε εις τας οδους και φραγμους και αναγκασον εισελθειν ινα γεμισθη ο οικος μου
And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεις των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου
For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few chosen.
25 συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι και στραφεις ειπεν προς αυτους
Now many multitudes went with him, and having turned, he said to them,
26 ει τις ερχεται προς με και ου μισει τον πατερα εαυτου 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
If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 και οστις ου βασταζει τον σταυρον εαυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητης
And whoever does not bear his cross, and come behind me, cannot be my disciple.
28 τις γαρ εξ υμων θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι ουχι πρωτον καθισας ψηφιζει την δαπανην ει εχει τα προς απαρτισμον
For which of you wanting to build a tower, does not, having first sat down, count the cost whether he has the things for completion?
29 ινα μηποτε θεντος αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυσαντος εκτελεσαι παντες οι θεωρουντες αρξωνται αυτω εμπαιζειν
So that perhaps, having laid its foundation, and not being able to finish, all those who see begin to ridicule him,
30 λεγοντες οτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος ηρξατο οικοδομειν και ουκ ισχυσεν εκτελεσαι
saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 η τις βασιλευς πορευομενος συμβαλειν ετερω βασιλει εις πολεμον ουχι πρωτον καθισας βουλευεται ει δυνατος εστιν εν δεκα χιλιασιν απαντησαι τω μετα εικοσι χιλιαδων ερχομενω επ αυτον
Or what king going to encounter another king in war, will not, having first sat down, consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 ει δε μηγε ετι πορρω αυτου οντος πρεσβειαν αποστειλας ερωτα τα προς ειρηνην
And if not, while he is still far off, having sent a delegation, he asks the things about peace.
33 ουτως ουν πας εξ υμων ος ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοις εαυτου υπαρχουσιν ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητης
So therefore every man of you who does not renounce all things being possessed by him, cannot be my disciple.
34 καλον το αλας εαν δε και το αλας μωρανθη εν τινι αρτυθησεται
The salt material is good, but if the salt material becomes tasteless, by what will it be seasoned?
35 ουτε εις γην ουτε εις κοπριαν ευθετον εστιν εξω βαλλουσιν αυτο ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω
It is fit neither for the land nor for manure; they cast it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
