LUKAS 14

Jesusek urminduna larunbatez sendatu

1 Behin batean, larunbatez, fariseu-buruetako baten etxera joan zen Jesus bazkaltzera, eta fariseuak zelatan zegozkion.t 2 Gizon urmindun bat zegoen han, Jesusen aurrean.

3 Jesusek lege-maisu eta fariseuei galdetu zien: «Zilegi al da larunbatez inor sendatzea, bai ala ez?»t
4 Haiek isilik gelditu ziren. Orduan, Jesusek gaixoa eskutik hartu, sendatu eta bidali egin zuen.

5 Gero, haiei esan zien: «Zuetako nork, semea nahiz idia putzura erortzen bazaio, ez du berehala ateratzen, larunbata izanagatik?»t

6 Erantzun ezinik gelditu ziren.

Azken tokiak aukeratu eta behartsuak gonbidatu

11 Zeren eta bere burua goratzen duena beheratu egingo baitu Jainkoak, eta bere burua beheratzen duena, goratu».t
12 Eta gonbidatu zuenari esan zion: «Bazkari edo afariren bat ematean, ez gonbidatu zeure adiskideak, ezta senide, ahaide edo auzoko aberatsak ere; zeren beraiek ere gonbidatu egingo zintuzkete, eta, horrela, ordaina hartuko zenuke. 13 Aitzitik, otordu bat ematean, gonbidatu behartsu, elbarri, herren eta itsuak.

14 Zorionekoa zu orduan, ez baitute zuri ordaintzerik! Zintzoak piztuko direnean jasoko duzu ordaina».t

Afari handiaren parabola

(Mt 22,1-10)

15 Hitz hauek entzutean, mahaikide batek esan zion Jesusi: «Zorionekoa Jainkoaren erreinuko otorduan parte hartuko duena!»t
16 Jesusek erantzun zion: «Gizon bat afari handi bat ematekoa zen eta jende asko gonbidatu zuen. 17 Afarikoan, morroia bidali zuen gonbidatuei esatera: “Etorri, dena gertu dago eta”. 18 Baina bata bestearen ondoren denak aitzakiak jartzen hasi ziren. Lehenengoak esan zion: “Soroa erosi dut, eta ikustera joan behar dut; barkatu, arren”. 19 Beste batek, berriz: “Bost idi-pare erosi ditut, eta probatzera joan behar dut; barkatu, arren”. 20 Eta hurrengoak: “Ezkondu berria naiz eta ez naiteke joan”.

21 Honen guztiaren berri nagusiari ematera itzuli zen morroia. Etxeko nagusia biziki haserretu zen eta morroiari esan zion: “Hoa bizkor herriko plaza eta kaleetan barrena, eta ekarri hona behartsu, elbarri, itsu eta herrenak”.t
22 «Geroago, morroiak esan zion: “Egin dut, jauna, zuk agindua, eta oraindik badago tokia”. 23 Orduan, nagusiak esan zion: “Hoa bidez bide eta bazterrik bazter eta sarrarazi jendea barrura, etxea bete dakidan.

24 Egia esan, gonbidatu haietako batek ere ez du nire afaria dastatuko”».

Nork bere buruari uko, Jesusi jarraitzeko

(Mt 10,37-38)

27 Bere gurutzea hartu eta nire ondoren ez datorrena ez daiteke izan nire ikasle.t
28 «Izan ere, zuetako nork, dorrea egin nahi badu, ez ditu aldez aurretik eseri eta gastuen kontuak ateratzen, bukatzeko adina ba ote duen ikusteko? 29 Bestela, zimenduak hartu ondoren bukatu ezin izango balu, ikusiko luketen guztiek barre egingo liokete,

30 esanez: “Honako hau eraikitzen hasi huen eta ezin izan dik amaitu”.
31 «Edo zein erregek, beste baten kontra gerrara joan nahi badu, ez du aldez aurretik eseri eta begiratzen, ea hamar mila gizon aski dituen hogei milarekin kontra datorkionari aurre egiteko?

32 Eta ezetz ikusten badu, bestea oraindik urruti dela, mandatariak bidaliko dizkio bakea eskatuz.

33 «Era berean, zuetako inor ez daiteke izan nire ikasle, dituen guztiei uko egiten ez badie.t

Gatz gezatuaren parabola

(Mt 5,13; Mk 9,50)

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
