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 was that while he went into the house of one of the chief Pharishee to eat bread, on the day of shabath, they watched him.

2 Aia hoi, imua ona kekahi kanaka mai pehu.

And, behold, a certain man who had gathered waters was before him.

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 Jeshu answered and said to the Sophree and the Pharishee, Is it lawful on the shabath to heal?

4 Hakanu iho la lakou. Lalau iho la ia, a hoola ia ia, a hookuu aku la.

But they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and dismissed him.

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, Who from you, whose son or his ox hath fallen into a pit on the day of shabath, doth not at once bring him forth?

6 Aole hiki ia lakou ke olelo ia ia ma ka hoopohala i keia mau mea.

And they could not give him the answer concerning this.

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 spoke a parable to them who had been invited there, forasmuch as he had observed them, that they chose the chief places of reclining:

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 thou art invited by one into the house of festivity, go not to recline on the principal seat, lest there be invited thither one more honourable than thou;

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 he come who thyself and him had called, and say to thee, Give place to this; and thou be ashamed as thou arisest to take another 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 thou art invited, go, recline thee in the last (seat), that when he who called thee cometh, he may say to thee, My friend, ascend and recline above, and thou shalt have honour before all of them who recline with thee.

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 one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and every one who humbleth himself shall 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.

And he said to him who had called him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, thou shouldest not call thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also call thee, and thou have this recompence.

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 thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, 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 thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee; for thy recompence shall be in the resurrection of the just.

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.

But when one of those who reclined heard these (words), he said to him, Blessed he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of Aloha!

16 I mai la oia ia ia, Ua hana kekahi kanaka i ka ahaaina nui, a kono aku i na hoaai he nui wale.

Jeshu saith to him, A certain man made a great supper, and called many. And he sent his servant,

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.

at the time of the supper, to say to them who were called, Behold, every thing is prepared for you, come.

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 every one of them began to excuse himself. The first said to him, I have bought an estate, and am constrained to go forth to see it: I beseech thee, permit me to be excused.

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, Five yoke of oxen have I bought, and I go to prove them: I beseech thee, permit me to be excused.

20 I mai la hoi kekahi, Ua mare iho noi au i ka wahine, nolaila aole e hiki ia'u ke holo aku.

Another said, A wife have I taken, and therefore 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.

And the servant came and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry, and said to his servant, Go into the streets and outskirts of the city, and bring hither the poor, and the afflicted, and the lame, and the sightless.

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, My lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is place.

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 his servant, Go forth into the ways, and among the hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled:

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, that not one of those men who were called shall taste of my supper.

25 A hele pu ae la ka ahakanaka nui me Iesu; haliu ae la ia, i mai la ia lakou,

AND while great multitudes were going with him, 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.

Whoever cometh with me, and doth not hate his father and his mother, and his brethren and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and himself also, a disciple he cannot be of mine.

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 doth not take up his cross and come after me, a disciple he cannot be of mine.

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 who of you that willeth to build a tower, and doth not first sit down and reckon the expense of it, whether he have (wherewith) to finish 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,

lest, when he shall have laid the foundation, and shall not be able to finish, all who see shall deride him,

30 Me ka olelo, Ua hoomaka keia kanaka e kukulu, aole hoi i hiki ia ia ke hoopaa.

saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

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 a king his neighbour, doth not first consider, whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him who cometh 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 not, while he is distant from him, he may send legates, and pray for 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.

So every one of you who doth not leave all his possession, cannot be unto me a 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 also shall become insipid, with what shall 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.

Not for the earth, nor for the dunghill, it goeth. They cast it out. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
