Luke 14

et factum est cum intraret in domum cuiusdam principis Pharisaeorum sabbato manducare panem et ipsi observabant eum

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

et respondens Iesus dixit ad legis peritos et Pharisaeos dicens si licet sabbato curare

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

at illi tacuerunt ipse vero adprehensum sanavit eum ac dimisit

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

et respondens ad illos dixit cuius vestrum asinus aut bos in puteum cadet et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

et non poterant ad haec respondere illi

And they could not answer him again to these things.

dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent dicens ad illos

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,

cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias non discumbas in primo loco ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab eo

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

et veniens is qui te et illum vocavit dicat tibi da huic locum et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

sed cum vocatus fueris vade recumbe in novissimo loco ut cum venerit qui te invitavit dicat tibi amice ascende superius tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus

But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

quia omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur et qui se humiliat exaltabitur

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

dicebat autem et ei qui se invitaverat cum facis prandium aut cenam noli vocare amicos tuos neque fratres tuos neque cognatos neque vicinos divites ne forte et ipsi te reinvitent et fiat tibi retributio

Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

sed cum facis convivium voca pauperes debiles claudos caecos

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

et beatus eris quia non habent retribuere tibi retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione iustorum

And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

haec cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus dixit illi beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei

And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

at ipse dixit ei homo quidam fecit cenam magnam et vocavit multos

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

et misit servum suum hora cenae dicere invitatis ut venirent quia iam parata sunt omnia

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

et coeperunt simul omnes excusare primus dixit ei villam emi et necesse habeo exire et videre illam rogo te habe me excusatum

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

et alter dixit iuga boum emi quinque et eo probare illa rogo te habe me excusatum

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

et alius dixit uxorem duxi et ideo non possum venire

And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

et reversus servus nuntiavit haec domino suo tunc iratus pater familias dixit servo suo exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis et pauperes ac debiles et caecos et claudos introduc huc

So that servant came, and shewed 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 hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

et ait servus domine factum est ut imperasti et adhuc locus est

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

et ait dominus servo exi in vias et sepes et conpelle intrare ut impleatur domus mea

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt gustabit cenam meam

For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

ibant autem turbae multae cum eo et conversus dixit ad illos

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

si quis venit ad me et non odit patrem suum et matrem et uxorem et filios et fratres et sorores adhuc autem et animam suam non potest esse meus discipulus

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

et qui non baiulat crucem suam et venit post me non potest esse meus discipulus

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

quis enim ex vobis volens turrem aedificare non prius sedens conputat sumptus qui necessarii sunt si habet ad perficiendum

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

ne posteaquam posuerit fundamentum et non potuerit perficere omnes qui vident incipiant inludere ei

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

dicentes quia hic homo coepit aedificare et non potuit consummare

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

aut qui rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem non sedens prius cogitat si possit cum decem milibus occurrere ei qui cum viginti milibus venit ad se

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

alioquin adhuc illo longe agente legationem mittens rogat ea quae pacis sunt

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

sic ergo omnis ex vobis qui non renuntiat omnibus quae possidet non potest meus esse discipulus

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

bonum est sal si autem sal quoque evanuerit in quo condietur

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

neque in terram neque in sterquilinium utile est sed foras mittetur qui habet aures audiendi audiat

It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
