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.

¹In zgodi se, ko pride v hišo enega izmed prvakov farizejskih v soboto jest kruh, da so oni nanj pazili.

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

²In glej, vodeničen človek je bil pred njim.

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

³In Jezus izpregovori in reče učenikom postave in farizejem: Se li sme v soboto zdraviti ali ne?

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

⁴Oni pa umolknejo. In ga prime in ozdravi in odpusti.

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?

⁵In jim reče: Kdo izmed vas, če mu pade osel ali vol v vodnjak, ga ne izvleče precej v sobotni dan?

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

⁶In niso mu mogli odgovoriti 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.

⁷Povedal je pa povabljencem priliko, opazivši, kako si izbirajo prve prostore, govoreč jim:

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;

⁸Kadar te kdo povabi na svatovščino, ne sedi na prvi prostor, da ne bi bil kdo imenitnejši nego ti povabljen od njega

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.

⁹in ne pride ta, ki je tebe in njega povabil, in ti ne reče: Daj temu prostor! in tedaj boš s sramoto sedel na zadnji prostor.

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.

¹⁰Ampak, kadar si povabljen, pojdi in sedi na zadnji prostor, da ti, ko pride, ki te je povabil, poreče: Prijatelj, pomakni se više! tedaj ti bo čast pred vsemi, ki sedé s teboj.

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

¹¹Zakaj vsak, kdor se povišuje, bo ponižan; a kdor se ponižuje, bo povišan.

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.

¹²Pravil je pa tudi temu, ki ga je bil povabil: Kadar napraviš obed ali večerjo, ne vabi prijateljev svojih, ne bratov svojih, ne sorodnikov svojih, ne bogatih sosedov, da te morda tudi oni ne povabijo in ti povrnejo.

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

¹³Ampak, kadar napraviš gostijo, povabi siromake, kruljave, hrome, slepce,

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

¹⁴in blagor ti bo, ker ti nimajo s čim povrniti; povrne se ti namreč ob vstajenju pravičnih.

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.

¹⁵Ko je to slišal nekdo izmed teh, ki so sedeli ž njim za mizo, mu reče: Blagor mu, kdor bo jedel kruh v kraljestvu Božjem.

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

¹⁶On pa mu reče: Neki človek je napravil veliko večerjo in mnogo jih je povabil.

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

¹⁷In pošlje hlapca svojega ob uri večerje, naj reče povabljencem: Pridite, ker je že vse pripravljeno!

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.

¹⁸In začno se vsi hkratu izgovarjati. Prvi mu reče: Njivo sem kupil in silno mi je treba, da grem in jo ogledam; prosim te, izgovori me!

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

¹⁹A drugi reče: Pet jarmov volov sem kupil in grem jih poskušat; prosim, izgovori me!

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

²⁰Zopet drugi pa: Oženil sem se, in zato ne morem priti.

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.

²¹In hlapec pride in sporoči to gospodu svojemu. Tedaj se hišni gospodar razjezi in reče hlapcu svojemu: Idi hitro ven na ceste in ulice mestne in pripelji sem siromake in kruljave in hrome in slepce.

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

²²In hlapec reče: Gospod, zgodilo se je, kakor si ukazal, in še je prostora.

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.

²³Pa veli gospodar hlapcu: Pojdi ven na pota in za ograje in sili jih, naj pridejo, da se napolni hiša moja.

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

²⁴Kajti pravim vam, da noben onih mož, ki so bili povabljeni, ne okusi večerje moje.

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

²⁵Šlo je pa ž njim veliko ljudstva; in obrnivši se, jim reče:

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.

²⁶Če prihaja kdo k meni, pa ne sovraži očeta svojega in matere, žene in otrok, bratov in sester, da, tudi lastnega življenja svojega, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

²⁷Kdor ne nosi križa svojega in ne gre za menoj, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

²⁸Kdo namreč izmed vas, ki hoče sezidati stolp, ne sede prej in preračuni stroškov, če ima pač toliko, da ga dodela?

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

²⁹da se mu, ko bi postavil temelj, pa ne bi mogel dozidati, ne začno vsi, ki to vidijo, posmehovati,

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

³⁰govoreč: Ta človek je jel zidati, pa ni mogel dokončati.

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?

³¹Ali kateri kralj, kadar se gre z drugim kraljem vojskovat, ne sede prej in se posvetuje, če se pač more z desetimi tisočmi srečati s tem, ki pride proti njemu z dvajsetimi tisočmi?

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

³²Če pa ne more, pošlje poslance in prosi miru, dokler je še sovražnik daleč.

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

³³Tako torej vsak izmed vas, kdor se ne odreče vsemu, kar ima, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

³⁴Dobra je sol; ako se pa tudi sol izpridi, s čim se bo osolila?Ne da se rabiti ne za zemljo, ne za gnojišče; vržejo jo proč. Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!

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.

³⁵Ne da se rabiti ne za zemljo, ne za gnojišče; vržejo jo proč. Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!
