¹And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that *they* were watching him.

¹Andek dies Savatone, O Jesus gelo ando kher ieke baresko le Farizeanonge te xal manrho po Sabato, ai kotse le manush lenas sama pe leste.

²And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.

²Eta, ek manush kai o naswalimos kai sas les kerelas les te shuvliol, sas thodino angla Jesus.

³And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

³O Jesus mothol le ablakatonge ai le Farizeanonge, phenelas, "Si slobodo vai nichi te sastiarel pe Savatone?"

⁴But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

⁴Khonik chi phendia kanch. Antunchi O Jesus lunzhardia pesko vas pe kado manush ai sastiardia les, ai meklia les te zhaltar.

⁵And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

⁵Ai porme phendia lenge, "Savo anda tumende kai si les ek magari vai ek gurumli kai perela ande xaiin, chi skepila les strazo vi Savatone?"

⁶And they were not able to answer him to these things.

⁶Ai khonik nashtisardia te del les atweto pa so phushlia le.

⁷And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

⁷Ai phendia ek paramichi le manushenge kai sas akharde, ke dikhelas kai rodenas le thana le anglune, phenelas,

⁸When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

⁸"Kana avesa akhardo vari kastar ka ek abiav, na tho tu ke pervo skamin, ke vari kon kai si mai baro tutar sai avela kai sas akhardo.

⁹and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

⁹Ai kodo kai akhardia tu ai wo ka abiav, avel te mothol tuke, "Me kotsan kakale manusheske;" No antunchi avela tuke mai lazhav te zhas te beshes mai palpale.

¹⁰But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

¹⁰Numa kana avesa akhardo, zha tho tu po skamin kai si ta palpale, kashke kodo kai akhardia tu avel ai mothol tuke, "Murho vortako, aida mai opre." No antunchi avela tuke mai pachiv angla kodola kai si kai e skafidi tusa.

¹¹for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

¹¹Ke kon godi vazdelpe avela meklo tele; ai kon godi mekelape tele avela vazdino opre."

¹²And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

¹²Porme O Jesus phendia kodoleske kai akhardia les, "Kon des xabe mashkar o dies vai telairiat, na akhar che vortakon, vai che phralen, vai che naiamon, vai chi kodolen kai beshen pasha tute le barvalen; ke akharen tu vi von, ai pochinena tuke so kerdian tu lenge.

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

¹³Numa kana keres pachiv, akhar le choren, le bange, kodola kai nashti phiren, ai le korhen:

¹⁴and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴Ai avela tuke raduimos, ke won nashtina te keren tuke so kerdian tu lenge; numa avela tuke pochindo katar O Del kana le manush le Devlakane wushtena andai martia."

¹⁵And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

¹⁵Iek anda kodola kai sas kai skafidi kana ashundia kadala paramichi phendia leske, "Raduime kodo kai xala manrho ande amperetsia le Devleski."

¹⁶And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

¹⁶O Jesus phendia leske, "Sas ek manush kai kerdia pachiv, ai akhardo but narodo.

¹⁷And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

¹⁷Ai tradia peski sluga te akharel len kai sas akharde kai pachiv, "Aidi, ke akana sa gata!"

¹⁸And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

¹⁸Numa savorhe phenen vari so ke chi mangle te aven. O pervo phendia leske, "Chindem ek kimpo, ai trobul te zhav ai dikhav les; iertisar ma."

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

¹⁹Ai kaver phendia, "Chindem panzh zhute gurumlia, ai zhav te zumav le; iertisar ma."

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

²⁰Ai kaver phendia, "Ansurisailem ek rhomni ai nashti avav."

²¹And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

²¹Kodia sluga gelo palpale, ai phendia sa kadala dieli ka lesko xazhainona. O xazhainona le kheresko xolailo ai phendia ka lesko sluga, "Zhas strazo pel droma ai vi pel vulitsi, ai anel le chorhe, ai le bange, ai le korhen, ai le bangole."

²²And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

²²Ai kodia sluga phendia, "Gazda, kerdem so phendian, ai si mai than inker."

²³And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

²³Ai o xazhainona phendia lesko sluga, "Zhas pel droma ai vurmi, ai akhares le kai pachiv, te avela pherdo murho kher.

²⁴for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

²⁴Numa phenav tuke, "Khonik anda sa kodolen kai sas akaharde zumavena murho xamaske!"

²⁵And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

²⁵But narodo zhanas lesa. Amboldesailo, ai phendia lenge,

²⁶If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

²⁶"Te vari manush avel mande, ai chi gretsol lesko dat, ai leski dei, ai leski zhuvli, ai leske shave, ai leske phrala, ai leske pheia, e, ai vi lesko traio, wo nashti avela murho disiplo.

²⁷and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

²⁷Ai kodo kai chi lel pesko trushul, ai avela pala mande, nashti avela murho disiplo."

²⁸For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;

²⁸"Savo anda tumende, kai mangel te vazdel kher, chi rodel mai anglal, sode si te arasel leske, ai te si les dosta te getol?

²⁹in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

²⁹Daratar te lelape te kerel e buchi, nashti getola, ai savo godi dikhena pe leste asana lestar.

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

³⁰Ai phenena, "Kado manush liape te kerel kher ai nashtisardia te getol les."

³¹Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

³¹"Vai savo amperato, zhala te kerel marimos kolaver amperatosa? Chi aterdiola mai anglal te lel sama te dashtila desh mie manushensa, sai zhal te marelpe pe kuko kai avel pe leste bish mie manushensa?

³²and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

³²Te na dashtila, wo tradela le manushen ka kolaver amperato kai si dur lestar, te mangel lestar e pacha.

³³Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

³³Anda kodia, zhido iek anda tumende te na mukhela sa so godi si les, nashti avel murho disiplo.

³⁴Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴"O lon si lasho, numa o lon te xasarela pesko skusno, sar kerena anda leste pale londo?

³⁵It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

³⁵Chi avela lasho chi la phuviake, ai chi le gunoieske, shuda les avri. Savo kai si le khan te ashunel, ashunel!"
