¹Guertha cedin halaber hura ethorri cenean Phariseuetaco principal baten etchera Sabbathoan bere refectionearen hartzera, hec gogoa emaiten baitzeraucaten.

¹And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

²Eta huná, guiçon hydropicobat cen haren aitzinean.

²and lo, there was a certain dropsical man before him;

³Orduan ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén Legueco doctorey eta Phariseuey, cioela, Sori da Sabbathoan sendatzea?

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

⁴Eta hec ichilic egon citecen, Eta harc hura harturic senda ceçan, eta igor ceçan.

⁴and they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], he healed him, and let [him] go;

⁵Eta ihardesten cerauela, erran ceçan, Ceinec çuetaric astoa edo idia putzura eror badaquió, eztu bertan hura idoquiren Sabbath egunean?

⁵and answering them he said, `Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the sabbath-day?`

⁶Eta ecin gauça hauén gainean ihardets ceçaqueoten.

⁶and they were not able to answer him again unto these things.

⁷Erraiten cerauen halaber gomitatu içan ciradeney comparationebat, gogoatzen çuela nola lehen iarlekuéz hautatzen ciraden, ciostela,

⁷And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them,

⁸Norbeitec dei açanean ezteyetara, ezadila iar lehen lekuan, guertha eztadin, hi baino ohoratuagobat harc deithu duen:

⁸`When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,

⁹Eta ethorriric hura eta hi deithu çaituztenac erran dieçán, Emóc huni lekua: eta orduan has ezadin ahalquerequin azquen lekuaren eduquiten.

⁹and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.

¹⁰Baina gomitatu aicenean, habil, iar adi azquen lekuan: dathorrenean hi gomitatu auenac erran dieçançat, Adisquideá, igan adi gorago: orduan duquec ohore hirequin mahainean iarriric daudenén aitzinean.

¹⁰`But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee;

¹¹Ecen bere buruä goratzen duen gucia, beheraturen da: eta bere buruä beheratzen duena, goraturen da.

¹¹because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.`

¹²Eta bera gomitatu çuenari-ere erraiten ceraucan, Eguiten duanean barazcaribat edo affaribat, eztitzala dei eure adisquideac, ez eure anayeac, ez eure ahaideac, ez auço abratsac, hec ere aldiz bere aldetic gomita ezeçatençát, eta ordaina renda eztaquián.

¹²And he said also to him who did call him, `When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to thee;

¹³Baina eguiten duanean banquetbat, dei itzac paubreac, impotentac, mainguäc, itsuac:

¹³but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,

¹⁴Eta dohatsu içanen aiz: ceren ezpaitute nondic hiri ordaina renda: ecen hiri rendaturen çaic ordaina iustoén resurrectionean.

¹⁴and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.`

¹⁵Eta gauça hauc ençunic harequin mahainean iarriric ceudenetaric batec erran cieçón, Dohatsu duc Iaincoaren resumán ogui ianen duena.

¹⁵And one of those reclining with him, having heard these things, said to him, `Happy [is] he who shall eat bread in the reign of God;`

¹⁶Eta harc erran cieçón, Guiçon batec eguin ceçan affari handibat, eta dei ceçan anhitz:

¹⁶and he said to him, `A certain man made a great supper, and called many,

¹⁷Eta igor ceçan bere cerbitzaria affal ordutan, gomitatuey erraitera, Çatozte, ecen gauça guciac prest dirade.

¹⁷and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all things ready.

¹⁸Baina guciac has citecen consentimendu batez excusatzen. Lehenac erran cieçón, Possessionebat erossi diat, eta haren ikustera ilki behar diat: othoitz eguiten drauat, eduqui neçac excusatutan.

¹⁸`And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves: The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused.

¹⁹Eta berceac erran ceçan, Borz idi vztarri erossi citiat, eta banihoac hayén phorogatzera: othoitz eguiten drauat eduqui neçac excusatutan.

¹⁹`And another said, Five yoke of oxen I bought, and I go on to prove them; I beg of thee, have me excused:

²⁰Eta berceac erran ceçan, Emazte hartu diat, eta halacotz ecin niathorrec.

²⁰and another said, A wife I married, and because of this I am not able to come.

²¹Eta itzuliric cerbitzari harc conta cietzón gauça hauc bere nabussiari. Orduan asserreturic aitafamiliác erran cieçón bere cerbitzariari, Habil fitetz placetara, eta hirico carriquetara, eta paubreac eta impotentac, eta mainguäc eta itsuac huna barnera erekar itzac.

²¹`And that servant having come, told to his lord these things, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly to the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in hither.

²²Eta erran ceçan cerbitzariac, Nabussiá, eguin içan duc, manatu duán beçala eta oraino baduc leku.

²²`And the servant said, Sir, it hath been done as thou didst command, and still there is room.

²³Orduan erran cieçón nabussiac cerbitzariari, Oha bidetara eta berroetara, eta bortchaitzac, sartzera bethe dadinçát ene etchea.

²³`And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled;

²⁴Ecen erraiten drauçuet, guiçon deithu içan ciraden hetaric batec-ere eztuela ene affaritic dastaturen.

²⁴for I say to you, that none of those men who have been called shall taste of my supper.`

²⁵Eta gendetze handiac ioaiten ciraden harequin: eta itzuliric erran ciecén.

²⁵And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them,

²⁶Baldin nehor enegana ethorten bada eta gaitzesten ezpaditu bere aita eta amá, eta emaztea eta haourrac, eta anayeac eta arrebác, etare guehiago bere arima-ere, ecin date ene discipulu.

²⁶`If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;

²⁷Eta norc-ere ezpaitacarque bere crutzea, eta ene ondoan ethorten ezpaita, ecin date ene discipulu.

²⁷and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

²⁸Ecen cein da çuetaric dorrebat edificatu nahi duenic, lehen iarriric gostuac contatzen eztituena, eya acabatzeco baduenez?

²⁸`For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things for completing?

²⁹Fundamenta eçarri duqueen ondoan, eta ecin acabatu duqueenean, ikussiren duten guciac harçaz truffatzen has eztitecençát, dioitela,

²⁹lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,

³⁰Guiçon hunec hassi du edificatzen eta ecin acabatu du.

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

³¹Edo cein da reguea berce regue baten contra batailla emaitera abiatzen dena, lehen iarriric consultatzen eztuen, eya hamar millarequin aitzinera ilki ahal daquidionez, hoguey millarequin haren contra ethorten denari?

³¹`Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him?

³²Bercela hura oraino vrrun deno, embachadore igorriric baque esquez iarten da.

³²and if not so — he being yet a long way off — having sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace.

³³Hala beraz, norc-ere çuetaric bere on guciac ezpaititu renuntiatzen hura ecin date ene discipulu.

³³`So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.

³⁴On da gatza: baina baldin gatza gueçat badadi, cerçaz gacituren da?

³⁴`The salt [is] good, but if the salt doth become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned?

³⁵Ezta lurrecotzat, ez ongarricotzat deusgay: baina camporat egoizten da hura. Ençuteco beharriric duenac, ençun beca.

³⁵neither for land nor for manure is it fit — they cast it without. He who is having ears to hear — let him hear.`
