Luke 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 And it happened that, when Jesus entered the house of a certain leader of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were observing him.	1 Et factum est, cum intraret in domum cuiusdam princi pis pharisaeorumsabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum.
2 And behold, a certain man before him was afflicted with edema.	2 Et ecce homo quidamhydropicus erat ante illum.
3 And responding, Jesus spoke to the experts in the law and to the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?”	3 Et respondens Iesus dixit ad legis peritos etpharisaeos dicens: “ Licet sabbato curare an non? ”.
4 But they kept silent. Yet truly, taking hold of him, he healed him and sent him away.	4 At illi tacuerunt.Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum ac dimisit.
5 And responding to them, he said, “Which of you will have a donkey or an ox fall into a pit, and will not promptly pull him out, on the day of the Sabbath?”	5 Et ad illos dixit: “ Cuiusvestrum filius aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum diesabbati? ”.
6 And they were unable to respond to him about these things.	6 Et non poterant ad haec respondere illi.
7 Then he also told a parable, to those who were invited, noticing how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:	7 Dicebat autem ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubituseligerent, dicens ad illos:
8 “When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him.	8 “ Cum invitatus fueris ab aliquo ad nuptias, nondiscumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab eo,
9 And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, ‘Give this place to him.’ And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place.	9 etveniens is qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: “Da huic locum”; et tuncincipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere.
10 But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you.	10 Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade,recumbe in novissimo loco, ut, cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: “Amice,ascende superius”; tunc erit tibi gloria coram omnibus simul discumbentibus.
11 For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”	11 Quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur; et, qui se humiliat, exaltabitur”.
12 Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you.	12 Dicebat autem et ei, qui se invitaverat: “ Cum facis prandium aut cenam,noli vocare amicos tuos neque fratres tuos neque cognatos neque vicinos divites,ne forte et ipsi te reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio.
13 But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.	13 Sed cum facisconvivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, caecos;
14 And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.”	14 et beatus eris, quia nonhabent retribuere tibi. Retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione iustorum ”.
15 When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.”	15 Haec cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: “ Beatus, quimanducabit panem in regno Dei ”.
16 So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many.	16 At ipse dixit ei: “ Homo quidam fecitcenam magnam et vocavit multos;
17 And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready.	17 et misit servum suum hora cenae dicereinvitatis: “Venite, quia iam paratum est”.
18 And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’	18 Et coeperunt simul omnesexcusare. Primus dixit ei: “Villam emi et necesse habeo exire et videre illam;rogo te, habe me excusatum”.
19 And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me.’	19 Et alter dixit: “Iuga boum emi quinque et eoprobare illa; rogo te, habe me excusatum”.
20 And another said, ‘I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to go.’	20 Et alius dixit: “Uxorem duxiet ideo non possum venire”.
21 And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’	21 Et reversus servus nuntiavit haec domino suo.Tunc iratus pater familias dixit servo suo: “Exi cito in plateas et vicoscivitatis et pauperes ac debiles et caecos et claudos introduc huc”.
22 And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room.’	22 Et aitservus: “Domine, factum est, ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est”.
23 And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled.	23 Et aitdominus servo: “Exi in vias et saepes, et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domusmea.
24 For I tell you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my feast.’ ”	24 Dico autem vobis, quod nemo virorum illorum, qui vocati sunt, gustabitcenam meam” ”.
25 Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them:	25 Ibant autem turbae multae cum eo; et conversus dixit ad illos:
26 “If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yes, even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple.	26 “ Si quisvenit ad me et non odit patrem suum et matrem et uxorem et filios et fratres etsorores, adhuc et animam suam, non potest esse meus discipulus.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.	27 Et, qui nonbaiulat crucem suam et venit post me, non potest esse meus discipulus.
28 For who among you, wanting to build a tower, would not first sit down and determine the costs that are required, to see if he has the means to complete it?	28 Quis enim ex vobis volens turrem aedificare, non prius sedens computatsumptus, si habet ad perficiendum?
29 Otherwise, after he will have laid the foundation and not been able to finish it, everyone who sees it may begin to mock him,	29 Ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum et nonpotuerit perficere, omnes, qui vident, incipiant illudere ei
30 saying: ‘This man began to build what he was not able to finish.’	30 dicentes: “Hichomo coepit aedificare et non potuit consummare”.
31 Or, what king, advancing to engage in war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether he may be able, with ten thousand, to meet one who comes against him with twenty thousand?	31 Aut quis rex, ituruscommittere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cumdecem milibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti milibus venit ad se?
32 If not, then while the other is still far away, sending a delegation, he would ask him for terms of peace.	32 Alioquin,adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea, quae pacis sunt.
33 Therefore, everyone of you who does not renounce all that he possesses is not able to be my disciple.	33 Sicergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus, quae possidet, non potest meusesse discipulus.
34 Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be seasoned?	34 Bonum est sal; si autem sal quoque evanuerit, in quo condietur?
35 It is useful neither in soil, nor in manure, so instead, it shall be thrown away. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”	35 Neque interram neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras proiciunt illud. Qui habetaures audiendi, audiat ”.
