Lucas 14

1At nangyari, sa pagpasok niya sa bahay ng isa sa mga pinuno ng mga Fariseo nang isang sabbath upang kumain ng tinapay, at inaabangan nila siya. 2At narito, sa kaniyang harapan ay may isang lalaking namamaga. 3At pagsagot ni Jesus, ay nagsalita sa mga tagapagtanggol ng kautusan at sa mga Fariseo, na sinasabi, Matuwid baga o hindi na magpagaling sa sabbath? 4Datapuwa't sila'y di nagsiimik. At siya'y tinangnan niya, at siya'y pinagaling, at siya'y pinayaon. 5At sinabi niya sa kanila, Sino kaya sa inyo ang kung magkaroon ng isang asno o isang bakang lalake na mahulog sa hukay, at pagdaka'y hindi kukunin kahit araw ng sabbath? 6At di na muling nakasagot sila sa kaniya sa mga bagay na ito. 7At nagsalita siya ng isang talinghaga sa mga inanyayahan, nang mamasdan niya na kanilang pinipili ang mga pangulong luklukan; na nagsasabi sa kanila, 8Pagka inaanyayahan ka ninomang tao sa kasalan, huwag kang uupo sa pangulong luklukan; baka mayroon siyang anyayahang lalong marangal na tao kay sa iyo, 9At lumapit yaong naganyaya sa iyo at sa kaniya, at sabihin sa iyo, Bigyan mong puwang ang taong ito; at kung magkagayo'y magpapasimula kang mapahiya na mapalagay ka sa dakong kababababaan. 10Kundi pagka inaanyayahan ka, ay pumaroon ka at umupo ka sa dakong kababababaan; upang kung dumating ang naganyaya sa iyo, ay sa iyo'y sabihin niya, Kaibigan pumaroon ka pa sa lalong mataas: kung magkagayo'y magkakaroon ka ng kaluwalhatian sa harap ng lahat na mga kasalo mong nangakaupo sa dulang. 11Sapagka't ang bawa't nagmamataas ay mabababa; at ang nagpapakababa ay matataas. 12At sinabi rin naman niya sa naganyaya sa kaniya, Pagka naghahanda ka ng isang tanghalian o ng isang hapunan, ay huwag mong tawagin ang iyong mga kaibigan, ni ang iyong mga kapatid, ni ang iyong mga kamaganak, ni ang mayayamang kapitbahay; baka ikaw naman ang kanilang muling anyayahan, at gantihan ka. 13Datapuwa't kung maghahanda ka, ay anyayahan mo ang mga dukha, ang mga pingkaw, ang mga pilay, ang mga bulag, 14At magiging mapalad ka; sapagka't wala silang sukat ikaganti sa iyo: sapagka't gagantihin sa iyo sa pagkabuhay na maguli ng mga ganap. 15At nang marinig ito ng isa sa nangakaupong kasalo niya sa dulang, ay sinabi sa kaniya, Mapalad ang kakain ng tinapay sa kaharian ng Dios. 16Datapuwa't sinabi niya sa kaniya, May isang naghanda ng isang malaking hapunan; at marami siyang inanyayahan: 17At sa panahon ng paghapon ay sinugo niya ang kaniyang alipin, upang sabihin sa mga inanyayahan, Magsiparito kayo; sapagka't ang lahat ng mga bagay ay nahahanda na. 18At silang lahat na parang iisa ay nangagpasimulang nangagdahilan. Sa kaniya'y sinabi ng una, Bumili ako ng isang bukid, at kailangan akong umalis at tingnan; ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na pagpaumanhinan mo ako. 19At sinabi ng iba, Bumili ako ng limang magkatuwang na bakang lalake, at paroroon ako upang sila'y subukin; ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na pagpaumanhinan mo ako. 20At sinabi ng iba, Bago akong kasal, at kaya nga hindi ako makaparoroon. 21At dumating ang alipin, at isinaysay ang mga bagay na ito sa kaniyang panginoon. Nang magkagayon, sa galit ng puno ng sangbahayan ay sinabi sa kaniyang alipin, Pumaroon kang madali sa mga lansangan at sa mga daang makikipot ng bayan, at dalhin mo rito ang mga dukha, at ang mga pingkaw, at ang mga bulag, at ang mga pilay. 22At sinabi ng alipin, panginoon, nagawa na ang ipinagutos mo, at gayon ma'y maluwag pa. 23At sinabi ng panginoon sa alipin, Pumaroon ka sa mga daan at sa mga bakuran, at pilitin mo silang magsipasok, upang mapuno ang aking bahay. 24Sapagka't sinasabi ko sa inyo na alin man sa mga taong inanyayahan ay hindi makatitikim ng aking hapunan. 25Nagsisama nga sa kaniya ang lubhang maraming tao; at siya'y lumingon at sa kanila'y sinabi, 26Kung ang sinomang tao'y pumaparito sa akin, at hindi napopoot sa kaniyang sariling ama, at ina, at asawang babae, at mga anak, at mga kapatid na lalake, at mga kapatid na babae, oo, at pati sa kaniyang sariling buhay man, ay hindi siya maaaring maging alagad ko. 27Sinomang hindi nagdadala ng kaniyang sariling krus, at sumusunod sa akin, ay hindi maaaring maging alagad ko. 28Sapagka't alin sa inyo, ang kung ibig magtayo ng isang moog, ay hindi muna uupo at tatayahin ang halagang magugugol kung mayroong maipagtatapos? 29Baka kung mailagay na niya ang patibayan, at hindi matapos, ang lahat ng mga makakita ay mangagpasimulang siya'y libakin, 30Na sabihin, Nagpasimula ang taong ito na magtayo, at hindi nakayang tapusin. 31O aling hari, na kung sasalubong sa pakikidigma sa ibang hari, ay hindi muna uupo at sasangguni kung makahaharap siya na may sangpung libo sa dumarating na laban sa kaniya na may dalawangpung libo? 32O kung hindi, samantalang malayo pa ang isa, ay magsusugo siya ng isang sugo, at hihilingin ang mga kailangan sa pagkakasundo. 33Kaya nga sinoman sa inyo na hindi tumanggi sa lahat niyang tinatangkilik, ay di maaaring maging alagad ko. 34Mabuti nga ang asin: datapuwa't kung ang asin ay tumabang, ay ano ang ipagpapaalat? 35Walang kabuluhang maging sa lupa kahit sa tapunan man ng dumi: itinatapon sa labas. Ang may mga pakinig upang ipakinig, ay makinig.

1When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him. 2Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him. 3Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” 4But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go. 5He answered them, “Which of you, if your sonor an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?” 6They couldn’t answer him regarding these things. 7He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them, 8“When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him, 9and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place. 10But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. 11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” 12He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. 13But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; 14and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.” 15When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in the Kingdom of God!” 16But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people. 17He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’ 18They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’ 19“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’ 20“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’ 21“That servant came, and told his lord these things. 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’ 22“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’ 23“The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’” 25Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them, 26“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregardhis own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple. 27Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple. 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? 29Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him, 30saying, ‘This man began to build, and wasn’t able to finish.’ 31Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace. 33So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple. 34Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it? 35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

1En het geschiedde, als Hij gekomen was in het huis van een der oversten der Farizeen, op den sabbat, om brood te eten, dat zij Hem waarnamen. 2En ziet, er was een zeker waterzuchtig mens voor Hem. 3En Jezus, antwoordende, zeide tot de wetgeleerden en Farizeen, en sprak: Is het ook geoorloofd op den sabbat gezond te maken? 4Maar zij zwegen stil. En Hij nam hem, en genas hem, en liet hem gaan. 5En Hij, hun antwoordende, zeide: Wiens ezel of os van ulieden zal in een put vallen, en die hem niet terstond zal uittrekken op den dag des sabbats? 6En zij konden Hem daarop niet weder antwoorden. 7En Hij zeide tot de genoden een gelijkenis, aanmerkende, hoe zij de vooraanzittingen verkozen; zeggende tot hen: 8Wanneer gij van iemand ter bruiloft genood zult zijn, zo zet u niet in de eerste zitplaats; opdat niet misschien een waardiger dan gij van hem genood zij; 9En hij, komende, die u en hem genood heeft, tot u zegge: Geef dezen plaats; en gij alsdan zoudt beginnen met schaamte de laatste plaats te houden. 10Maar wanneer gij genood zult zijn, ga heen en zet u in de laatste plaats; opdat, wanneer hij komt, die u genood heeft, hij tot u zegge: Vriend, ga hoger op. Alsdan zal het u eer zijn voor degenen, die met u aanzitten. 11Want een iegelijk, die zichzelven verhoogt, zal vernederd worden; en die zichzelven vernedert, zal verhoogd worden. 12En Hij zeide ook tot dengene, die Hem genood had: Wanneer gij een middagmaal of avondmaal zult houden, zo roep niet uw vrienden, noch uw broeders, noch uw magen, noch uw rijke geburen; opdat ook dezelve u niet te eniger tijd wedernoden, en u vergelding geschiede. 13Maar wanneer gij een maaltijd zult houden, zo nood armen, verminkten, kreupelen, blinden; 14En gij zult zalig zijn, omdat zij niet hebben, om u te vergelden; want het zal u vergolden worden in de opstanding der rechtvaardigen. 15En als een van degenen, die mede aanzaten, deze dingen hoorde, zeide hij tot Hem: Zalig is hij, die brood eet in het Koninkrijk Gods. 16Maar Hij zeide tot hem: Een zeker mens bereidde een groot avondmaal, en hij noodde er velen. 17En hij zond zijn dienstknecht uit ten ure des avondmaals, om den genoden te zeggen: Komt, want alle dingen zijn nu gereed. 18En zij begonnen allen zich eendrachtelijk te ontschuldigen. De eerste zeide tot hem: Ik heb een akker gekocht, en het is nodig, dat ik uitga, en hem bezie; ik bid u, houd mij voor verontschuldigd. 19En een ander zeide: Ik heb vijf juk ossen gekocht, en ik ga heen, om die te beproeven; ik bid u, houd mij voor verontschuldigd. 20En een ander zeide: Ik heb een vrouw getrouwd, en daarom kan ik niet komen. 21En dezelve dienstknecht weder gekomen zijnde, boodschapte deze dingen zijn heer. Toen werd de heer des huizes toornig, en zeide tot zijn dienstknecht: Ga haastelijk uit in de straten en wijken der stad, en breng de armen, en verminkten, en kreupelen, en blinden hier in. 22En de dienstknecht zeide: Heer, het is geschied, gelijk gij bevolen hebt, en nog is er plaats. 23En de heer zeide tot den dienstknecht: Ga uit in de wegen en heggen; en dwing ze in te komen, opdat mijn huis vol worde; 24Want ik zeg ulieden, dat niemand van die mannen, die genood waren, mijn avondmaal smaken zal. 25En vele scharen gingen met Hem; en Hij, Zich omkerende, zeide tot hen: 26Indien iemand tot Mij komt en niet haat zijn vader, en moeder, en vrouw, en kinderen, en broeders, en zusters, ja, ook zelfs zijn eigen leven, die kan Mijn discipel niet zijn. 27En wie zijn kruis niet draagt, en Mij navolgt, die kan Mijn discipel niet zijn. 28Want wie van u, willende een toren bouwen, zit niet eerst neder, en overrekent de kosten, of hij ook heeft, hetgeen tot volmaking nodig is? 29Opdat niet misschien, als hij het fondament gelegd heeft, en niet kan voleindigen, allen, die het zien, hem beginnen te bespotten. 30Zeggende: Deze mens heeft begonnen te bouwen, en heeft niet kunnen voleindigen. 31Of wat koning, gaande naar den krijg, om tegen een anderen koning te slaan, zit niet eerst neder, en beraadslaagt, of hij machtig is met tien duizend te ontmoeten dengene, die met twintig duizend tegen hem komt? 32Anderszins zendt hij gezanten uit, terwijl degene nog verre is, en begeert, hetgeen tot vrede dient. 33Alzo dan een iegelijk van u, die niet verlaat alles, wat hij heeft, die kan Mijn discipel niet zijn. 34Het zout is goed; maar indien het zout smakeloos geworden is, waarmede zal het smakelijk gemaakt worden? 35Het is noch tot het land, noch tot den mesthoop bekwaam; men werpt het weg. Wie oren heeft, om te horen, die hore.
