< 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.
And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.
2 Aia hoi, imua ona kekahi kanaka mai pehu.
And a certain man was there who had a disease.
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?
And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?
4 Hakanu iho la lakou. Lalau iho la ia, a hoola ia ia, a hookuu aku la.
But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.
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 said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?
6 Aole hiki ia lakou ke olelo ia ia ma ka hoopohala i keia mau mea.
And they had no answer to that question.
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,
And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying to them,
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 get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,
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.
And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.
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 come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.
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 every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.
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.
And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.
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 give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:
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 have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.
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.
And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest 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.
And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.
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.
And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are 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.
And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.
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.
And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.
20 I mai la hoi kekahi, Ua mare iho noi au i ka wahine, nolaila aole e hiki ia'u ke holo aku.
And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to 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.
And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.
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.
And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is 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;
And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may 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 say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.
25 A hele pu ae la ka ahakanaka nui me Iesu; haliu ae la ia, i mai la ia lakou,
Now a great number of people went with him.
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.
And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not 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.
Whoever does not take up his cross and come after me may not 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?
For which of you, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?
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,
For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,
30 Me ka olelo, Ua hoomaka keia kanaka e kukulu, aole hoi i hiki ia ia ke hoopaa.
And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.
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, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes 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.
Or while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting conditions 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.
And so whoever is not ready to give up all he has may not be my disciple.
34 He mea maikai ka paakai; aka, ina pau ka liu o ka paakai, pehea la ia e liu hou ai?
For salt is good, but if the taste goes from it, of what use is it?
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 no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.
