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.

¹In zgodi se, ko pride v hišo enega izmed prvakov farizejskih v soboto jest kruh, da so oni nanj pazili.

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

²In glej, vodeničen človek je bil pred njim.

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

³In Jezus izpregovori in reče učenikom postave in farizejem: Se li sme v soboto zdraviti ali ne?

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

⁴Oni pa umolknejo. In ga prime in ozdravi in odpusti.

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?”

⁵In jim reče: Kdo izmed vas, če mu pade osel ali vol v vodnjak, ga ne izvleče precej v sobotni dan?

⁶They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.

⁶In niso mu mogli odgovoriti na to.

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

⁷Povedal je pa povabljencem priliko, opazivši, kako si izbirajo prve prostore, govoreč jim:

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,

⁸Kadar te kdo povabi na svatovščino, ne sedi na prvi prostor, da ne bi bil kdo imenitnejši nego ti povabljen od njega

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.

⁹in ne pride ta, ki je tebe in njega povabil, in ti ne reče: Daj temu prostor! in tedaj boš s sramoto sedel na zadnji prostor.

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.

¹⁰Ampak, kadar si povabljen, pojdi in sedi na zadnji prostor, da ti, ko pride, ki te je povabil, poreče: Prijatelj, pomakni se više! tedaj ti bo čast pred vsemi, ki sedé s teboj.

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

¹¹Zakaj vsak, kdor se povišuje, bo ponižan; a kdor se ponižuje, bo povišan.

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.

¹²Pravil je pa tudi temu, ki ga je bil povabil: Kadar napraviš obed ali večerjo, ne vabi prijateljev svojih, ne bratov svojih, ne sorodnikov svojih, ne bogatih sosedov, da te morda tudi oni ne povabijo in ti povrnejo.

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

¹³Ampak, kadar napraviš gostijo, povabi siromake, kruljave, hrome, slepce,

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.”

¹⁴in blagor ti bo, ker ti nimajo s čim povrniti; povrne se ti namreč ob vstajenju pravičnih.

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!”

¹⁵Ko je to slišal nekdo izmed teh, ki so sedeli ž njim za mizo, mu reče: Blagor mu, kdor bo jedel kruh v kraljestvu Božjem.

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

¹⁶On pa mu reče: Neki človek je napravil veliko večerjo in mnogo jih je povabil.

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

¹⁷In pošlje hlapca svojega ob uri večerje, naj reče povabljencem: Pridite, ker je že vse pripravljeno!

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.’

¹⁸In začno se vsi hkratu izgovarjati. Prvi mu reče: Njivo sem kupil in silno mi je treba, da grem in jo ogledam; prosim te, izgovori me!

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

¹⁹A drugi reče: Pet jarmov volov sem kupil in grem jih poskušat; prosim, izgovori me!

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

²⁰Zopet drugi pa: Oženil sem se, in zato ne morem priti.

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.’

²¹In hlapec pride in sporoči to gospodu svojemu. Tedaj se hišni gospodar razjezi in reče hlapcu svojemu: Idi hitro ven na ceste in ulice mestne in pripelji sem siromake in kruljave in hrome in slepce.

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

²²In hlapec reče: Gospod, zgodilo se je, kakor si ukazal, in še je prostora.

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.

²³Pa veli gospodar hlapcu: Pojdi ven na pota in za ograje in sili jih, naj pridejo, da se napolni hiša moja.

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

²⁴Kajti pravim vam, da noben onih mož, ki so bili povabljeni, ne okusi večerje moje.

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

²⁵Šlo je pa ž njim veliko ljudstva; in obrnivši se, jim reče:

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.

²⁶Če prihaja kdo k meni, pa ne sovraži očeta svojega in matere, žene in otrok, bratov in sester, da, tudi lastnega življenja svojega, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

²⁷Kdor ne nosi križa svojega in ne gre za menoj, ne more biti moj učenec.

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?

²⁸Kdo namreč izmed vas, ki hoče sezidati stolp, ne sede prej in preračuni stroškov, če ima pač toliko, da ga dodela?

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

²⁹da se mu, ko bi postavil temelj, pa ne bi mogel dozidati, ne začno vsi, ki to vidijo, posmehovati,

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

³⁰govoreč: Ta človek je jel zidati, pa ni mogel dokončati.

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?

³¹Ali kateri kralj, kadar se gre z drugim kraljem vojskovat, ne sede prej in se posvetuje, če se pač more z desetimi tisočmi srečati s tem, ki pride proti njemu z dvajsetimi tisočmi?

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

³²Če pa ne more, pošlje poslance in prosi miru, dokler je še sovražnik daleč.

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

³³Tako torej vsak izmed vas, kdor se ne odreče vsemu, kar ima, ne more biti moj učenec.

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

³⁴Dobra je sol; ako se pa tudi sol izpridi, s čim se bo osolila?Ne da se rabiti ne za zemljo, ne za gnojišče; vržejo jo proč. Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!

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.”

³⁵Ne da se rabiti ne za zemljo, ne za gnojišče; vržejo jo proč. Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj sliši!
