Luka 14
1 EIA kekahi, ia ia i hele ai i ka hale o kekahi alii Parisaio, i ka la Sabati e ai i ka berena, hakilo iho la lakou ia ia.
One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
2 Aia hoi, imua ona kekahi kanaka mai pehu.
Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
3 Ninau mai la o Iesu i ka poe kakaolelo a me ka poe Parisaio, i mai la, He mea pono anei ke hoola ma ka la Sabati?
So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
4 Hakanu iho la lakou. Lalau iho la ia, a hoola ia ia, a hookuu aku la.
But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
5 Ninau hou mai la oia ia lakou, i mai la, Owai ko oukou mea i battle kana hoki, a o kana bipi kauo paha i ka lua, aole hoi e huki koke mai ia ia iluna, i ka la Sabati?
And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
6 Aole hiki ia lakou ke olelo ia ia ma ka hoopohala i keia mau mea.
And they were unable to answer these questions.
7 Olelo mai la oia i keia olelo nani i ka poe hoaai, e ike ana ia I ko lakou koho ana i na wahi maikai loa; i mai la ia lakou,
When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
8 A i ka wa i konoia'i oe e kekahi e hele i ka ahaaina mare, mai noho iho oe ma kahi maikai loa, malia paha ua konoia'ku e ia kekahi e oi aku kona hanohano i kou;
“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
9 A hele mai ka mea nana olua i kono, a e olelo mai ia oe, E hookaawale ae oe no ia nei; alaila oe e neenee ae i kahi haahaa, me ka hilahila.
Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
10 Aka, i ka wa i konoia'i oe, e hele hoi oe e noho iho ma kahi haahaa; a hiki mai ka mea nana oe i kono e olelo oia ia oe, E ka hoaaloha, e eu ae oe i kahi maikai ae; alaila e mahaloia oe imua i ke alo o ka poe hoaai e noho pu ana mo oe.
But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
11 No ka mea, o ka mea i hookiekie ae ia ia iho, oia ke hoohaahaaia; a o ka mea i hoohaahaa ia ia iho, oia ke hookiekieia'e.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Olelo mai la ia i ka mea nana ia i kono, A i hana oe i ka ahaaina awakea, a i ka ahaaina ahiahi paha, mai kii aku oe i kou mau hoaaloha, aole i kou mau hoahanau, aole hoi i kou mau hoalauna waiwai, o kii hou mai lakou ia oe, a e ukuia mai oe.
Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
13 Aka, i ka wa e hana'i oe i ka ahaaina, e kii aku oe i ka poe ilihune, i ka poe mumuku, i ka poe oopa, a me ka poe makapo;
But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
14 A e pomaikai auanei oe; no ka mea, aole a lakou mea e uku mai ai ia oe; no ka mea hoi, e ukuia no oe i ke ala hou ana o ka poe pono.
and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 A i ka lohe ana o kekahi o ka poe hoaai e noho pu ana, i keia mea, i aku la oia ia ia, Pomaikai ka mea e ahaaina aku iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
16 I mai la oia ia ia, Ua hana kekahi kanaka i ka ahaaina nui, a kono aku i na hoaai he nui wale.
But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
17 A i ka manawa ahaaina, hoouna aku la i kana kau wa e olelo aku i ka poe i konoia, E hele mai; no ka mea, ano ua makaukau na mea a pau.
When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 Pau pu ae la lakou i ka olelo e; i mai la kekahi, Ua kuai iho nei au i kahi aina no'u, e pono e hele nu e nana aku ia; ko noi aku nei au ia oe e hookuu mai ia'u.
But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
19 A i mai la kekahi, Ua kuai iho nei au i elima bipi kaulua no'u, e hele ana au e hoao ia lakou; ke noi aku nei au ia oe e hookuu mai ia'u.
Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 I mai la hoi kekahi, Ua mare iho noi au i ka wahine, nolaila aole e hiki ia'u ke holo aku.
Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
21 A hoi mai la ua kauwa la, hai mai la ia i kona haku ia mau mea. Alaila huhu iho la ka mea hale, i aku la i kana kauwa, E hele koke aku oe maloko o na alanui a me na ala ololi o ke kulanakauhale, a e lawe mai iloko nei i ka poe ilihune, a i ka poe mumuku, a i ka poe oopa a me ka poe makapo.
The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
22 A olelo mai la ua kauwa la, E ka haku, ua pau i ka hanaia kau mea i olelo mai ai, a he wahi kaawale no koe.
‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 Olelo aku la ka haku i ke kauwa, E hele aku ma na kuamoo, a me na pilipa, e koi aku i kanaka e hele mai i piha ai ko'u hale;
So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
24 No ka mea, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, o kela poe kanaka i kii e ia'ku aole mea o lakou o ai iki i kuu ahaaina.
For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
25 A hele pu ae la ka ahakanaka nui me Iesu; haliu ae la ia, i mai la ia lakou,
Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
26 Ina i hele mai kekahi kanaka io'u nei me ka hoowahawaha ole i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, a me kana wahine, a me kana mau keiki, a me kona mau hoahanau, a me kona ola nei, aole e hiki ia ia ke lilo mai i haumana na'u.
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
27 A o ka mea aole e hapai i kona kea a hahai mai ia'u, aole e hiki ia ia ke lilo mai i haumana na'u.
And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
28 No ka mea, owai la ko oukou mea e manao ana e kukulu i hale kiai, aole hoi e noho mua ilalo e helu i ka waiwai e lilo aku, i ike ia he mea lawa paha kana e paa ai ia?
Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
29 O hiki ole ia ia ke hoopaa i ka halo mahope iho o kana hookumu ana, a henehene mai ia ia ka poe a pau e nana mai ana,
Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
30 Me ka olelo, Ua hoomaka keia kanaka e kukulu, aole hoi i hiki ia ia ke hoopaa.
saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
31 A owai la hoi kealii e hele aku ana e kaua aku i kekahi alii, aole hoi e noho mua ilalo, e noonoo iho, e hiki paha ia ia e hoouka aku me na kanaka he umi tausani i ke alii e hoouka mai ana ia ia me na kanaka he iwakalua tausani?
Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 A hiki ole, e hoouna e aku ia i ka elele oi kaawale aku kela, e noi aku ana i kuikahi.
And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
33 Pela hoi kela mea keia mea o oukou i haalele ole i kona mau mea a pau, aole e hiki ia ia ke lilo mai i haumana na'u.
In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
34 He mea maikai ka paakai; aka, ina pau ka liu o ka paakai, pehea la ia e liu hou ai?
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
35 Aole ia e pono no ka aina, aole hoi no ka puu opala kipulu; ua kiola wale ia'ku no ia. O ka mea pepeiao lohe, e hoolohe ia.
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
