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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?"

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?`

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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."

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.`

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

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;`

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

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

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

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.

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."

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.

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

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

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

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

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."

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.

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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