| 1 Και οτε ηλθεν αυτος εις τον οικον τινος των αρχοντων των Φαρισαιων το σαββατον δια να φαγη αρτον, εκεινοι παρετηρουν αυτον. | 1 One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. |
| 2 Και ιδου, ανθρωπος τις υδρωπικος ητο εμπροσθεν αυτου. | 2 And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. |
| 3 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, ειπε προς τους νομικους και Φαρισαιους, λεγων? Ειναι ταχα συγκεχωρημενον να θεραπευη τις εν τω σαββατω; | 3 And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?" |
| 4 Οι δε εσιωπησαν. Και πιασας ιατρευσεν αυτον και απελυσε. | 4 But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go. |
| 5 Και αποκριθεις προς αυτους ειπε? Τινος υμων ο ονος η ο βους θελει πεσει εις φρεαρ, και δεν θελει ευθυς ανασυρει αυτον εν τη ημερα του σαββατου; | 5 And he said to them, "Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?" |
| 6 Και δεν ηδυνηθησαν να αποκριθωσιν εις αυτον προς ταυτα. | 6 And they could not reply to this. |
| 7 Ειπε δε παραβολην προς τους κεκλημενους, επειδη παρετηρει πως εξελεγον τας πρωτοκαθεδριας, λεγων προς αυτους. | 7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, |
| 8 Οταν προσκληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους, μη καθησης εις τον πρωτον τοπον, μηποτε ειναι προσκεκλημενος υπ' αυτου εντιμοτερος σου, | 8 "When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him; |
| 9 και ελθων εκεινος, οστις εκαλεσε σε και αυτον, σοι ειπη? Δος τοπον εις τουτον? και τοτε αρχισης με αισχυνην να λαμβανης τον εσχατον τοπον. | 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. |
| 10 Αλλ' οταν προσκληθης, υπαγε και καθησον εις τον εσχατον τοπον, δια να σοι ειπη οταν ελθη εκεινος, οστις σε εκαλεσε? Φιλε, αναβα ανωτερω? τοτε θελεις εχει δοξαν ενωπιον των συγκαθημενων μετα σου. | 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. |
| 11 Διοτι πας ο υψων εαυτον θελει ταπεινωθη και ο ταπεινων εαυτον θελει υψωθη. | 11 For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
| 12 Ελεγε δε και προς εκεινον, οστις προσεκαλεσεν αυτον. Οταν καμνης γευμα η δειπνον, μη προσκαλει τους φιλους σου μηδε τους αδελφους σου μηδε τους συγγενεις σου μηδε γειτονας πλουσιους, μηποτε και αυτοι σε αντικαλεσωσι, και γεινη εις σε ανταποδοσις. | 12 He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your kinsmen or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and you be repaid. |
| 13 Αλλ' οταν καμνης υποδοχην, προσκαλει πτωχους, βεβλαμμενους, χωλους, τυφλους, | 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, |
| 14 και θελεις εισθαι μακαριος, διοτι δεν εχουσι να σοι ανταποδωσωσιν? επειδη η ανταποδοσις θελει γεινει εις σε εν τη αναστασει των δικαιων. | 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." |
| 15 Ακουσας δε ταυτα εις των συγκαθημενων, ειπε προς αυτον? Μακαριος οστις φαγη αρτον εν τη βασιλεια του Θεου. | 15 When one of those who sat at table with him heard this, he said to him, "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!" |
| 16 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον? Ανθρωπος τις εκαμε δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσε πολλους? | 16 But he said to him, "A man once gave a great banquet, and invited many; |
| 17 και απεστειλε τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου δια να ειπη προς τους κεκλημενους? Ερχεσθε, επειδη παντα ειναι ηδη ετοιμα. | 17 and at the time for the banquet he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, 'Come; for all is now ready.' |
| 18 Και ηρχισαν παντες με μιαν γνωμην να παραιτωνται. Ο πρωτος ειπε προς αυτον? Αγρον ηγορασα, και εχω αναγκην να εξελθω και να ιδω αυτον? παρακαλω σε, εχε με παρητημενον. | 18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it; I pray you, have me excused.' |
| 19 Και αλλος ειπεν? Ηγορασα πεντε ζευγη βοων, και υπαγω να δοκιμασω αυτα? παρακαλω σε, εχε με παρητημενον. | 19 And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them; I pray you, have me excused.' |
| 20 και αλλος ειπε? Γυναικα ενυμφευθην, και δια τουτο δεν δυναμαι να ελθω. | 20 And another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' |
| 21 Και ελθων ο δουλος εκεινος, απηγγειλε προς τον κυριον αυτου ταυτα. Τοτε οργισθεις ο οικοδεσποτης, ειπε προς τον δουλον αυτου? Εξελθε ταχεως εις τας πλατειας και τας οδους της πολεως, και εισαγαγε εδω τους πτωχους και βεβλαμμενους και χωλους και τυφλους. | 21 So the servant came and reported this to his master. Then the householder in anger said to his servant, 'Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and maimed and blind and lame.' |
| 22 Και ειπεν ο δουλος? Κυριε, εγεινεν ως προσεταξας, και ειναι ετι τοπος. | 22 And the servant said, 'Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.' |
| 23 Και ειπεν ο κυριος προς τον δουλον? Εξελθε εις τας οδους και φραγμους και αναγκασον να εισελθωσι, δια να γεμισθη ο οικος μου. | 23 And the master said to the servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. |
| 24 Διοτι σας λεγω οτι ουδεις των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων θελει γευθη του δειπνου μου. | 24 For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.'" |
| 25 Ηρχοντο δε μετ' αυτου οχλοι πολλοι. Και στραφεις ειπε προς αυτους? | 25 Now great multitudes accompanied him; and he turned and said to them, |
| 26 Εαν τις ερχηται προς εμε και δεν μιση τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα και την γυναικα και τα τεκνα και τους αδελφους και τας αδελφας, ετι δε και την εαυτου ζωην, δεν δυναται να ηναι μαθητης μου. | 26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. |
| 27 Και οστις δεν βασταζει τον σταυρον αυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου, δεν δυναται να ηναι μαθητης μου. | 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. |
| 28 Διοτι τις εξ υμων, θελων να οικοδομηση πυργον, δεν καθηται πρωτον και λογαριαζει την δαπανην, αν εχη τα αναγκαια δια να τελειωση αυτον; | 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? |
| 29 μηποτε αφου βαλη θεμελιον και δεν δυναται να τελειωση αυτον, αρχισωσι παντες οι βλεποντες να εμπαιζωσιν αυτον, | 29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, |
| 30 λεγοντες? Οτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος ηρχισε να οικοδομη και δεν ηδυνηθη να τελειωση. | 30 saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.' |
| 31 Η τις βασιλευς υπαγων να πολεμηση αλλον βασιλεα δεν καθηται προτερον και σκεπτεται εαν ηναι δυνατος με δεκα χιλιαδας να απαντηση τον ερχομενον κατ' αυτου με εικοσι χιλιαδας; | 31 Or what king, going to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? |
| 32 Ει δε μη, ενω αυτος ειναι ετι μακραν, αποστελλει πρεσβεις και ζητει ειρηνην. | 32 And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy and asks terms of peace. |
| 33 Ουτω λοιπον πας οστις εξ υμων δεν απαρνειται παντα τα εαυτου υπαρχοντα, δεν δυναται να ηναι μαθητης μου. | 33 So therefore, whoever of you does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple." |
| 34 Καλον το αλας? αλλ' εαν το αλας διαφθαρη, με τι θελει αρτυθη; | 34 "Salt is good; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? |
| 35 δεν ειναι πλεον χρησιμον ουτε δια την γην ουτε δια την κοπριαν? εξω ριπτουσιν αυτο. Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη. | 35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill; men throw it away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear." |
