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

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,

²A hľa, bol pred ním nejaký vodnateľný človek.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?`

⁶A nemohli mu odpovedať na to.

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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.

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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

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.`

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

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;`

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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;

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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