Luke 14

1Now it happened, as He went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they watched Him closely.

και εγενετο εν τω ελθειν αυτον εις οικον τινος των αρχοντων των φαρισαιων σαββατω φαγειν αρτον, και αυτοι ησαν παρατηρουμενοι αυτον.

2And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy.

και ιδου ανθρωπος τις ην υδρωπικος εμπροσθεν αυτου.

3And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?'

και αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν προς τους νομικους και φαρισαιους λεγων· ει εξεστιν τω σαββατω θεραπευειν;

4But they kept silent. And He took him and healed him, and let him go.

οι δε ησυχασαν. και επιλαβομενος ιασατο αυτον και απελυσεν.

5Then He answered them, saying, 'Which of you, having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?'

και αποκριθεις προς αυτους ειπεν· τινος υμων υιος η βους εις φρεαρ εμπεσειται, και ουκ ευθεως ανασπασει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου;

6And they could not answer Him regarding these things.

και ουκ ισχυσαν ανταποκριθηναι αυτω προς ταυτα.

7So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them:

ελεγεν δε προς τους κεκλημενους παραβολην, επεχων πως τας πρωτοκλισιας εξελεγοντο, λεγων προς αυτους·

8'When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;

οταν κληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους, μη κατακλιθης εις την πρωτοκλισιαν, μηποτε εντιμοτερος σου η κεκλημενος υπ αυτου,

9and he who invited you and him come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

και ελθων ο σε και αυτον καλεσας ερει σοι· δος τουτω τοπον· και τοτε αρξη μετ αισχυνης τον εσχατον τοπον κατεχειν.

10But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

αλλ οταν κληθης, πορευθεις αναπεσε εις τον εσχατον τοπον, ινα οταν ελθη ο κεκληκως σε ειπη σοι· φιλε, προσαναβηθι ανωτερον· τοτε εσται σοι δοξα ενωπιον των συνανακειμενων σοι.

11For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.'

οτι πας ο υψων εαυτον ταπεινωθησεται και ο ταπεινων εαυτον υψωθησεται.

12Then He also said to him who invited Him, 'When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

ελεγεν δε και τω κεκληκοτι αυτον· οταν ποιης αριστον η δειπνον, μη φωνει τους φιλους σου μηδε τους αδελφους σου μηδε τους συγγενεις σου μηδε γειτονας πλουσιους, μηποτε και αυτοι σε αντικαλεσωσιν, και γενησεται σοι ανταποδομα.

13But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

αλλ οταν ποιης δοχην, καλει πτωχους, αναπηρους, χωλους, τυφλους,

14And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.'

και μακαριος εση, οτι ουκ εχουσιν ανταποδουναι σοι· ανταποδοθησεται γαρ σοι εν τη αναστασει των δικαιων.

15Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, 'Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!'

ακουσας δε τις των συνανακειμενων ταυτα ειπεν αυτω· μακαριος ος φαγεται αριστον εν τη βασιλεια του θεου.

16Then He said to him, 'A certain man gave a great supper and invited many,

ο δε ειπεν αυτω· ανθρωπος τις εποιησεν δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσεν πολλους·

17and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, for all things are now ready.'

και απεστειλεν τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου ειπειν τοις κεκλημενοις· ερχεσθε, οτι ηδη ετοιμα εστιν παντα.

18But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.'

και ηρξαντο απο μιας παραιτεισθαι παντες. ο πρωτος ειπεν αυτω· αγρον ηγορασα, και εχω αναγκην εξελθειν και ιδειν αυτον· ερωτω σε, εχε με παρητημενον.

19And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.'

και ετερος ειπεν· ζευγη βοων ηγορασα πεντε, και πορευομαι δοκιμασαι αυτα· ερωτω σε, εχε με παρητημενον.

20Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

και ετερος ειπεν· γυναικα εγημα, και δια τουτο ου δυναμαι ελθειν.

21So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.'

και παραγενομενος ο δουλος εκεινος απηγγειλεν τω κυριω αυτου ταυτα. τοτε οργισθεις ο οικοδεσποτης ειπεν τω δουλω αυτου· εξελθε ταχεως εις τας πλατειας και ρυμας της πολεως, και τους πτωχους και αναπηρους και χωλους και τυφλους εισαγαγε ωδε.

22And the servant said, 'Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.'

και ειπεν ο δουλος· κυριε, γεγονεν ως επεταξας, και ετι τοπος εστιν.

23Then 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.

και ειπεν ο κυριος προς τον δουλον· εξελθε εις τας οδους και φραγμους και αναγκασον εισελθειν, ινα γεμισθη ο οικος μου.

24For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.' '

λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι ουδεις των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων γευσεται μου του δειπνου.

25Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them,

συνεπορευοντο δε αυτω οχλοι πολλοι. και στραφεις ειπεν προς αυτους·

26'If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

ει τις ερχεται προς με και ου μισει τον πατερα εαυτου και την μητερα και την γυναικα και τα τεκνα και τους αδελφους και τας αδελφας, ετι δε και την εαυτου ψυχην, ου δυναται μου μαθητης ειναι.

27And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

και οστις ου βασταζει τον σταυρον εαυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου, ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητης.

28For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—

τις γαρ εξ υμων, θελων πυργον οικοδομησαι, ουχι πρωτον καθισας ψηφιζει την δαπανην, ει εχει τα προς απαρτισμον;

29lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,

ινα μηποτε, θεντος αυτου θεμελιον και μη ισχυσαντος εκτελεσαι, παντες οι θεωρουντες αρξωνται αυτω εμπαιζειν,

30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish'?

λεγοντες οτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος ηρξατο οικοδομειν και ουκ ισχυσεν εκτελεσαι;

31Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

η τις βασιλευς, πορευομενος συμβαλειν ετερω βασιλει εις πολεμον, ουχι πρωτον καθισας βουλευεται ει δυνατος εστιν εν δεκα χιλιασιν απαντησαι τω μετα εικοσι χιλιαδων ερχομενω επ αυτον;

32Or else, while the other is still great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.

ει δε μηγε, ετι πορρω αυτου οντος πρεσβειαν αποστειλας ερωτα τα προς ειρηνην.

33So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

ουτως ουν πας εξ υμων, ος ουκ αποτασσεται πασιν τοις εαυτου υπαρχουσιν, ου δυναται ειναι μου μαθητης.

34'Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?

καλον το αλας· εαν δε και το αλας μωρανθη, εν τινι αρτυθησεται;

35It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!'

ουτε εις γην ουτε εις κοπριαν ευθετον εστιν· εξω βαλλουσιν αυτο. ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω.
