¹It happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

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

²Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

²A hľa, bol pred ním nejaký vodnateľný človek.

³Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

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

⁴But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

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

⁵He answered them, “Which of you, if your son TR reads “donkey” instead of “son” or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”

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

⁶They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.

⁶A nemohli mu odpovedať na to.

⁷He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

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

⁸ “When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

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

⁹ and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

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

¹⁰ But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

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.

¹¹ For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

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

¹²He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

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.

¹³ But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

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

¹⁴ and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

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

¹⁵When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in the Kingdom of God!”

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

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

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

¹⁷ He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’

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

¹⁸ They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’

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

¹⁹ “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’

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

²⁰ “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’

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

²¹ “That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’

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!

²² “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’

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

²³ “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

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

²⁴ For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’”

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

²⁵Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,

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

²⁶ “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard or, hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

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.

²⁷ Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple.

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

²⁸ For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

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

²⁹ Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

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

³⁰ saying, ‘This man began to build, and wasn’t able to finish.’

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

³¹ Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

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?

³² Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

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

³³ So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

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

³⁴ Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

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

³⁵ It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

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