¹And 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.

¹A stalo sa, keď raz v sobotu vošiel do domu ktoréhosi z kniežat farizeov jesť chlieb, že oni, farizeovia, ho pozorovali.

²And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

²A hľa, bol pred ním nejaký vodnateľný človek.

³And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

³A Ježiš odpovedal a riekol zákonníkom a farizeom: Či sa smie v sobotu uzdravovať a či nie?

⁴And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

⁴Ale oni mlčali. A on pochytiac človeka uzdravil ho a prepustil.

⁵And 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?

⁵A im povedal: Ktorého z vás osol alebo vôl padne do jamy a nevytiahne ho hneď v sobotný deň?

⁶And they could not answer him again to these things.

⁶A nemohli mu odpovedať na to.

⁷And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

⁷A pozvaným povedal podobenstvo pozorujúc, ako si vyberali predné miesta, a riekol im:

⁸When 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;

⁸Keďby si bol od niekoho pozvaný na svadbu, nesadaj si na predné miesto, aby snáď nebol od neho pozvaný aj niekto vzácnejší ako ty,

⁹And 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.

⁹a neprišiel, kto teba i tamtoho pozval, a nepovedal ti: Daj tomuto miesto, a vtedy by si započal s hanbou zaujímať najposlednejšie miesto.

¹⁰But 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.

¹⁰Ale keď ťa pozvú, iď a sadni si na posledné miesto, aby, keď prijde ten, kto ťa pozval, povedal ti: Priateľu, sadni si vyššie! Vtedy budeš mať chválu pred všetkými svojimi spolustolujúcimi.

¹¹For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹¹Lebo každý, kto sa povyšuje, bude ponížený: a kto sa ponižuje, bude povýšený.

¹²Then 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.

¹²A povedal aj tomu, ktorý ho pozval: Keď strojíš obed alebo večeru, nevolaj svojich priateľov ani svojich bratov ani svojich príbuzných ani bohatých súsedov, aby ťa snáď aj oni zato tiež nepozvali, a mal by si odplatu.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹³Ale keď robíš hostinu, povolaj chudobných, chromých, krivých a slepých

¹⁴And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴a budeš blahoslavený, pretože ti nemajú čím odplatiť, lebo ti bude odplatené pri vzkriesení spravedlivých.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Keď to počul ktorýsi zo spolustolujúcich, povedal mu: Blahoslavený, kto jie chlieb v kráľovstve Božom!

¹⁶Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

¹⁶Ale on mu povedal: Nejaký človek urobil veľkú večeru a pozval mnohých.

¹⁷And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

¹⁷A v hodinu večere poslal svojho sluhu, aby povedal pozvaným: Poďte, lebo je už všetko hotové.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Ale oni sa začali všetci jednomyseľne vyhovárať. Prvý mu povedal: Kúpil som pole a musím vyjsť a vidieť ho. Prosím ťa, omluv ma!

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹A iný povedal: Kúpil som päť párov volov a idem ich zkúsiť. Prosím ťa, omluv ma.

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

²⁰A zase iný povedal: Oženil som sa, a preto nemôžem prijsť.

²¹So 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.

²¹A sluha navrátiac sa zvestoval to svojmu pánovi. Vtedy sa rozhneval domáci pán a povedal svojmu sluhovi: Vyjdi rýchle do ulíc a uličiek mesta a uveď sem chudobných, chromých, krivých a slepých!

²²And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

²²A sluha povedal: Pane, stalo sa, jako si nariadil, a ešte je miesto.

²³And 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.

²³A pán povedal sluhovi: Vyjdi na cesty a medzi ploty a prinúť vojsť, aby sa naplnil môj dom!

²⁴For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

²⁴Lebo hovorím vám, že niktorý z tamtých pozvaných mužov neokúsi mojej večere.

²⁵And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

²⁵A išly s ním mnohé zástupy, a on obrátiac sa povedal im:

²⁶If 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.

²⁶Ak ide niekto ku mne a nemá v nenávisti svojho otca i matere, ženy i detí, bratov i sestier, ba ešte len aj svojej vlastnej duše, nemôže byť mojím učeníkom.

²⁷And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁷A kto nenesie svojho kríža a nejde za mnou, nemôže byť mojím učeníkom.

²⁸For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

²⁸Lebo veď ak niekto z vás chce vystaviť vežu, či nesadne prv a nespočíta nákladu, či má toľko, aby mohol dostaviť?

²⁹Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

²⁹Aby snáď, keď by položil základ a nemohol dovŕšiť, nezačali všetci, ktorí by to videli, vysmievať sa mu

³⁰Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

³⁰a hovoriť: Tento človek začal staväť a nemohol dovŕšiť.

³¹Or 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?

³¹Alebo ktorý kráľ idúc proti inému kráľovi do boja nesadne prv a neporadí sa, či môže s desať tisícami stretnúť sa s tým, ktorý s dvadsať tisícami ide na neho?

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

³²Lebo ak nie, vtedy, keď ešte bude ďaleko, pošle posolstvo a bude prosiť o pokoj.

³³So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

³³Tak teda každý z vás, kto sa nezrieka všetkého, čo má, nemôže byť mojím učeníkom.

³⁴Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴Soľ je dobrá, ale ak by soľ ztratila svoju slaň, čím ju napravia?

³⁵It 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.

³⁵Ani do zeme ani do hnoja sa nehodí; von ju vyhadzujú. Kto má uši nato, aby počul, nech počuje!
