LUCAS 14
Giayo ni Jesus ang Tawo nga Masakiton
1 Usa niana ka Adlaw nga Igpapahulay, gidapit si Jesus sa usa sa kadagkoan sa mga Pariseo didto sa ilang balay aron mokaon. Pag-abot ni Jesus didto, gibantayan siya pag-ayo sa mga tawo nga nagabatok kaniya, kon lapason ba niya ang Kasugoan.2 Unya may tawo didto nga nanghupong ang tibuok lawas.3 Nangutana si Jesus sa mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug sa mga Pariseo,4 Apan wala sila motubag. Unya gigunitan dayon ni Jesus ang tawo, giayo, ug pagkahuman gipalakaw.5 Ug miingon siya sa mga tawo didto,
6 Apan wala gayod sila makatubag sa iyang pangutana.
Ang Pagpaubos ug ang Pagkamaabiabihon
7 Namatikdan ni Jesus nga ang mga dinapit namili ug mga lingkoranan nga alang sa mga pinasidunggan. Busa gitambagan niya sila.9 Ug ang nagdapit kaninyong duha moduol kanimo ug moingon, Maulawan ka unya ug mopahipi ka na lang hinuon sa daplin.10 Apan kon dapiton ka, pilia ang lingkoranan nga alang sa mga dili pinasidunggan, aron sa pag-abot sa nagdapit kanimo duolon ka niya ug palingkoron sa lingkoranan nga alang sa mga pinasidunggan. Mapasidunggan ka pa unya atubangan sa tanang mga dinapit.11 Kay si bisan kinsa nga mapahitas-on ipaubos, ug ang mapainubsanon ipataas."12 Unya miingon si Jesus sa tawo nga nagdapit kaniya,13 Kon magkombira ka, dapita usab ang mga kabos, ang mga singkaw, ang mga bakol, ug ang mga buta.
14 Ug mabulahan ka tungod kay dili sila makabalos kanimo. Ang Dios mao ang magbalos kanimo inig-abot sa panahon nga banhawon ang mga matarong."
Ang Sambingay Mahitungod sa Kombira
(Mt. 22:1-10)
15 Sa pagkadungog niadto sa usa nga nakauban ni Jesus sa pagpangaon, miingon siya,16 Unya gisuginlan siya ni Jesus,17 Pag-abot sa oras nga mangaon na, gisugo niya ang iyang sulugoon nga adtoon ang mga dinapit ug sultihan nga moadto na sila tungod kay andam na ang tanan.18 Apan ang matag usa kanila mibalibad nga dili sila makaadto. Miingon ang usa,19 Miingon pa gayod ang usa,20 Miingon pa gayod ang usa,21 Pagkahuman, mibalik ang sulugoon sa iyang agalon ug gisultihan niya kini kon nganong dili sila makaadto. Pagkadungog sa agalon nasuko siya. Busa miingon siya sa iyang sulugoon,22 Sa dihang nahimo na kadto sa sulugoon, miingon siya sa iyang agalon,23 Busa miingon ang agalon kaniya,
24 Sultihan ko kamo sa tinuod nga walay bisan usa kanila niadtong una kong gidapit nga makatilaw sa akong giandam nga pagkaon.> "
Ang Pagsunod sa Ginoo
(Mt. 10:37-38)
25 Samtang nagpadayon si Jesus sa iyang paglakaw paingon sa Jerusalem, daghang mga tawo ang miuban kaniya. Milingi siya kanila ug miingon,27 Si bisan kinsa nga dili mosunod kanako tungod sa kahadlok nga kamatayon ang iyang dangatan dili mahimong akong sumusunod.28 Ang tawo nga gustong mosunod kanako, sama siya sa tawo nga nagplanong magtukod ug taas nga balay. Una, banabanaon niya kon pila ang iyang magasto ug kon paigo ba ang iyang kuwarta nga gastohon hangtod nga mahuman kini.29 Tungod kay kon dili niya kini himuon tingali ug pundasyon pa lang ang iyang matrabaho ug mahurot na ang iyang kuwarta ug dili na niya kini mahuman. Busa kataw-an gayod siya sa mga tawo nga makakita niini.30 Moingon sila,31 Sama usab siya sa usa ka hari nga makig-away sa lain nga hari. Kinahanglan planohon una niya kon ang iyang mga sundalo nga 10,000 makasugakod ba sa pagpakiggira sa hari nga may 20,000 ka mga sundalo.32 Kon sa iyang banabana dili siya makasugakod, maayo pa nga samtang wala pa ang gira sugoon niya ang pipila sa iyang mga tawo nga sultihan ang iyang kaaway nga hari nga gusto na lang niyang makighusay.
33 Mao usab kana ang angay ninyong himuon. Hunahunaon una ninyo kon mosunod ba kamo kanako, kay kon dili ninyo biyaan ang tanan ninyong gipalabi dinhi sa kalibotan, dili kamo mahimong akong sumusunod."
Ang Asin
(Mt. 5:13; Mc. 9:50)
35 Dili na mapuslan bisan pa ug isagol sa mga hugaw aron iabuno, mao nga ilabay na lang kini. Busa sabta gayod ninyo kining inyong nadunggan."
Luke 14
Healing Again on the Sabbath
1 Nowt one Sabbath when Jesus went to dinet at the house of a leadert of the Pharisees,s they were watchings him closely.2 Theret rightt in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy.s3 Sot Jesus askedt the experts in religious lawt and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbaths or not?”4 But they remained silent. Sot Jesust took hold of the man,t healed him, and sent him away.t5 Thent he said to them, “Which of you, if you have a sons or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”
6 Butt they could not replys to this.
On Seeking Seats of Honor
7 Thent when Jesust noticed how the guestst chose the places of honor,t he told them a parable. He said to them,8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast,t do not taket the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host.t9 Sot the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed,t you will begin to move to the least importantt place.10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your hostt approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’t Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, butt the one who humbless himself will be exalted.”
12 Het said also to the mans who had invited him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet,t don’t invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors so you can be invited by them in return and get repaid.13 But when you host an elaborate meal,t invite the poor, the crippled,s the lame, andt the blind.s
14 Thent you will be blessed,s because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaids at the resurrection of the righteous.”
The Parable of the Great Banquet
15 Whent one of those at the meal with Jesust heard this, he said to him, “Blessed is everyonet who will feastt in the kingdom of God!”s16 But Jesust said to him, “A man once gave a great banquett and inviteds many guests.t17 Att the time for the banquett he sent his slavet to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’18 But one after another they allt began to make excuses.s The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field,s and I must go out and see it. Please excuse me.’s19 Anothert said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen,s and I am going outt to examine them. Please excuse me.’20 Anothert said, ‘I just got married, and I cannot come.’s21 Sot the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the master of the household was furioust and said to his slave, ‘Go out quicklys to the streets and alleys of the city,t and bring in the poor,s the crippled,t the blind, and the lame.’22 Thent the slave said, ‘Sir, what you instructed has been done, and there is still room.’s23 Sot the master said to hist slave, ‘Go out to the highwayss and country roadst and urget peoplet to come in, so that my house will be filled.s
24 For I tell you, not one of those individualst who were inviteds will taste my banquet!’”t
Counting the Cost
25 Now large crowdss were accompanying Jesus,t and turning to them he said,26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hatet his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life,t he cannot be my disciple.27 Whoever does not carry his own crosss and followt me cannot be my disciple.28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, doesn’t sit downt first and compute the costt to see if he has enough money to complete it?29 Otherwise,t when he has laidt a foundation and is not able to finish the tower,t all who see itt will begin to make fun oft him.30 They will say,t ‘This mans began to build and was not able to finish!’s31 Or what king, going out to confront another king in battle, will not sit downt first and determine whether he is able with ten thousand to opposet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?32 If he cannot succeed,t he will send a representativet while the other is still a long way off and ask for terms of peace.s
33 In the same way therefore not one of you can be my disciple if he does not renounce all his own possessions.ts
34 “Saltts is good, but if salt loses its flavor,s how can its flavor be restored?
35 It is of no valuet for the soil or for the manure pile; it is to be thrown out.t The one who has ears to hear had better listen!”t
