لُوکَح 14

1 اَنَنْتَرَں وِشْرامَوارے یِیشَو پْرَدھانَسْیَ پھِرُوشِنو گرِہے بھوکْتُں گَتَوَتِ تے تَں وِیکْشِتُمْ آریبھِرے۔

One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2 تَدا جَلودَرِی تَسْیَ سَمُّکھے سْتھِتَح۔

Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3 تَتَح سَ وْیَوَسْتھاپَکانْ پھِرُوشِنَشْچَ پَپْرَچّھَ، وِشْرامَوارے سْواسْتھْیَں کَرْتَّوْیَں نَ وا؟ تَتَسْتے کِمَپِ نَ پْرَتْیُوچُح۔

So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4 تَدا سَ تَں روگِنَں سْوَسْتھَں کرِتْوا وِسَسَرْجَ؛

But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5 تانُواچَ چَ یُشْماکَں کَسْیَچِدْ گَرْدَّبھو ورِشَبھو وا چیدْ گَرْتّے پَتَتِ تَرْہِ وِشْرامَوارے تَتْکْشَنَں سَ کِں تَں نوتّھاپَیِشْیَتِ؟

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 تَتَسْتے کَتھایا ایتَسْیاح کِمَپِ پْرَتِوَکْتُں نَ شیکُح۔

And they were unable to answer these questions.

7 اَپَرَنْچَ پْرَدھانَسْتھانَمَنونِیتَتْوَکَرَنَں وِلوکْیَ سَ نِمَنْتْرِتانْ ایتَدُپَدیشَکَتھاں جَگادَ،

When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8 تْوَں وِواہادِبھوجْییشُ نِمَنْتْرِتَح سَنْ پْرَدھانَسْتھانے موپاویکْشِیح۔ تْوَتّو گَورَوانْوِتَنِمَنْتْرِتَجَنَ آیاتی

“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 نِمَنْتْرَیِتاگَتْیَ مَنُشْیایَیتَسْمَے سْتھانَں دیہِیتِ واکْیَں چیدْ وَکْشْیَتِ تَرْہِ تْوَں سَنْکُچِتو بھُوتْوا سْتھانَ اِتَرَسْمِنْ اُپَویشْٹُمْ اُدْیَںسْیَسِ۔

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 اَسْماتْ کارَنادیوَ تْوَں نِمَنْتْرِتو گَتْواپْرَدھانَسْتھانَ اُپَوِشَ، تَتو نِمَنْتْرَیِتاگَتْیَ وَدِشْیَتِ، ہے بَنْدھو پْروچَّسْتھانَں گَتْووپَوِشَ، تَتھا سَتِ بھوجَنوپَوِشْٹاناں سَکَلاناں ساکْشاتْ تْوَں مانْیو بھَوِشْیَسِ۔

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 یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمُنَّمَیَتِ سَ نَمَیِشْیَتے، کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَں نَمَیَتِ سَ اُنَّمَیِشْیَتے۔

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12 تَدا سَ نِمَنْتْرَیِتارَں جَنَمَپِ جَگادَ، مَدھْیاہْنے راتْرَو وا بھوجْیے کرِتے نِجَبَنْدھُگَنو وا بھْراترِگَنو وا جْناتِگَنو وا دھَنِگَنو وا سَمِیپَواسِگَنو وا ایتانْ نَ نِمَنْتْرَیَ، تَتھا کرِتے چیتْ تے تْواں نِمَنْتْرَیِشْیَنْتِ، تَرْہِ پَرِشودھو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔

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 کِنْتُ یَدا بھیجْیَں کَروشِ تَدا دَرِدْرَشُشْکَکَرَکھَنْجانْدھانْ نِمَنْتْرَیَ،

But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14 تَتَ آشِشَں لَپْسْیَسے، تیشُ پَرِشودھَں کَرْتُّمَشَکْنُوَتْسُ شْمَشانادّھارْمِّکانامُتّھانَکالے تْوَں پھَلاں لَپْسْیَسے۔

and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15 اَنَنْتَرَں تاں کَتھاں نِشَمْیَ بھوجَنوپَوِشْٹَح کَشْچِتْ کَتھَیاماسَ، یو جَنَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیے بھوکْتُں لَپْسْیَتے سَایوَ دھَنْیَح۔

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 تَتَح سَ اُواچَ، کَشْچِتْ جَنو راتْرَو بھےجْیَں کرِتْوا بَہُونْ نِمَنْتْرَیاماسَ۔

But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17 تَتو بھوجَنَسَمَیے نِمَنْتْرِتَلوکانْ آہْواتُں داسَدْوارا کَتھَیاماسَ، کھَدْیَدْرَوْیانِ سَرْوّانِ سَماسادِتانِ سَنْتِ، یُویَماگَچّھَتَ۔

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 کِنْتُ تے سَرْوَّ ایکَیکَں چھَلَں کرِتْوا کْشَماں پْرارْتھَیانْچَکْرِرے۔ پْرَتھَمو جَنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، کْشیتْرَمیکَں کْرِیتَوانَہَں تَدیوَ دْرَشْٹُں مَیا گَنْتَوْیَمْ، اَتَایوَ ماں کْشَنْتُں تَں نِویدَیَ۔

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 اَنْیو جَنَح کَتھَیاماسَ، دَشَورِشانَہَں کْرِیتَوانْ تانْ پَرِیکْشِتُں یامِ تَسْمادیوَ ماں کْشَنْتُں تَں نِویدَیَ۔

Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 اَپَرَح کَتھَیاماسَ، وْیُوڈھَوانَہَں تَسْماتْ کارَنادْ یاتُں نَ شَکْنومِ۔

Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21 پَشْچاتْ سَ داسو گَتْوا نِجَپْرَبھوح ساکْشاتْ سَرْوَّورِتّانْتَں نِویدَیاماسَ، تَتوسَو گرِہَپَتِح کُپِتْوا سْوَداسَں وْیاجَہارَ، تْوَں سَتْوَرَں نَگَرَسْیَ سَنِّویشانْ مارْگاںشْچَ گَتْوا دَرِدْرَشُشْکَکَرَکھَنْجانْدھانْ اَتْرانَیَ۔

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 تَتو داسووَدَتْ، ہے پْرَبھو بھَوَتَ آجْنانُساریناکْرِیَتَ تَتھاپِ سْتھانَمَسْتِ۔

‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23 تَدا پْرَبھُح پُنَ رْداسایاکَتھَیَتْ، راجَپَتھانْ ورِکْشَمُولانِ چَ یاتْوا مَدِییَگرِہَپُورَنارْتھَں لوکاناگَنْتُں پْرَوَرْتَّیَ۔

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 اَہَں یُشْمَبھْیَں کَتھَیامِ، پُورْوَّنِمَنْتْرِتانَمیکوپِ مَماسْیَ راتْرِبھوجْیَسْیاسْوادَں نَ پْراپْسْیَتِ۔

For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25 اَنَنْتَرَں بَہُشُ لوکیشُ یِیشوح پَشْچادْ وْرَجِتیشُ سَتْسُ سَ وْیاگھُٹْیَ تیبھْیَح کَتھَیاماسَ،

Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26 یَح کَشْچِنْ مَمَ سَمِیپَمْ آگَتْیَ سْوَسْیَ ماتا پِتا پَتْنِی سَنْتانا بھْراتَرو بھَگِمْیو نِجَپْراناشْچَ، ایتیبھْیَح سَرْوّیبھْیو مَیَّدھِکَں پْریمَ نَ کَروتِ، سَ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔

“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 یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَں کْرُشَں وَہَنْ مَمَ پَشْچانَّ گَچّھَتِ، سوپِ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔

And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28 دُرْگَنِرْمّانے کَتِوْیَیو بھَوِشْیَتِ، تَتھا تَسْیَ سَماپْتِکَرَنارْتھَں سَمْپَتِّرَسْتِ نَ وا، پْرَتھَمَمُپَوِشْیَ ایتَنَّ گَنَیَتِ، یُشْماکَں مَدھْیَ ایتادرِشَح کوسْتِ؟

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 نوچیدْ بھِتِّں کرِتْوا شیشے یَدِ سَماپَیِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ،

Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30 تَرْہِ مانُشویَں نِچیتُمْ آرَبھَتَ سَماپَیِتُں ناشَکْنوتْ، اِتِ وْیاہرِتْیَ سَرْوّے تَمُپَہَسِشْیَنْتِ۔

saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31 اَپَرَنْچَ بھِنَّبھُوپَتِنا سَہَ یُدّھَں کَرْتُّمْ اُدْیَمْیَ دَشَسَہَسْرانِ سَینْیانِ گرِہِیتْوا وِںشَتِسَہَسْریح سَینْیَیح سَہِتَسْیَ سَمِیپَواسِنَح سَمُّکھَں یاتُں شَکْشْیامِ نَ ویتِ پْرَتھَمَں اُپَوِشْیَ نَ وِچارَیَتِ ایتادرِشو بھُومِپَتِح کَح؟

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 یَدِ نَ شَکْنوتِ تَرْہِ رِپاوَتِدُورے تِشْٹھَتِ سَتِ نِجَدُوتَں پْریشْیَ سَنْدھِں کَرْتُّں پْرارْتھَییتَ۔

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 تَدْوَدْ یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے یَح کَشْچِنْ مَدَرْتھَں سَرْوَّسْوَں ہاتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ سَ مَمَ شِشْیو بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ۔

In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34 لَوَنَمْ اُتَّمَمْ اِتِ سَتْیَں، کِنْتُ یَدِ لَوَنَسْیَ لَوَنَتْوَمْ اَپَگَچّھَتِ تَرْہِ تَتْ کَتھَں سْوادُیُکْتَں بھَوِشْیَتِ؟

Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35 تَدَ بھُومْیَرْتھَمْ آلَوالَراشْیَرْتھَمَپِ بھَدْرَں نَ بھَوَتِ؛ لوکاسْتَدْ بَہِح کْشِپَنْتِ۔ یَسْیَ شْروتُں شْروتْرے سْتَح سَ شرِنوتُ۔

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.”
