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.
It happened one Sabbath, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees to eat bread, that they were watching him closely.
2 Aia hoi, imua ona kekahi kanaka mai pehu.
Behold, there in front of him was a man who was suffering from edema.
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?
Jesus asked the experts in the Jewish 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 kept silent. So Jesus took hold of him, healed him, 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?
He said to them, “Which of you who has a son or an ox that falls into a well 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.
They were not able to give an answer to these things.
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 those who were invited chose the seats of honor, he spoke a parable, 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 are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the place of honor, because someone may have been invited who is more honored than you.
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.
When the person who invited both of you arrives, he will say to you, 'Give this other person your place,' and then in shame you will proceed to take the lowest 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 down in the lowest place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit 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 he 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.
Jesus also said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, as they may also 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 give 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, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid 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.
When one of them who sat at the table with Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread 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 said to him, “A certain man prepared a large dinner and invited many.
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 the dinner was prepared, he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, 'Come, because 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.
They all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and 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 pairs 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.
Then another man said, 'I have married a wife, 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.
The servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in here 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.
The servant said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and yet 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;
The master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges and compel 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 say to you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'”
25 A hele pu ae la ka ahakanaka nui me Iesu; haliu ae la ia, i mai la ia lakou,
Now large crowds were going with him, 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 own father, mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters, and 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.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after 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?
For which of you who desires to build a tower does not first sit down and count the cost to calculate if he has what he needs 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, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to mock 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, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take advice about whether he is able with ten thousand men to fight the other king who comes against him with twenty thousand men?
32 A hiki ole, e hoouna e aku ia i ka elele oi kaawale aku kela, e noi aku ana i kuikahi.
If not, while the other army is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for 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.
So therefore, any one of you who does not give up all that 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 has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?
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 of no use for the soil or even for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
