Luke 14

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.	1 Και οτε ηλθεν αυτος εις τον οικον τινος των αρχοντων των Φαρισαιων το σαββατον δια να φαγη αρτον, εκεινοι παρετηρουν αυτον.
2 And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.	2 Και ιδου, ανθρωπος τις υδρωπικος ητο εμπροσθεν αυτου.
3 And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?	3 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, ειπε προς τους νομικους και Φαρισαιους, λεγων? Ειναι ταχα συγκεχωρημενον να θεραπευη τις εν τω σαββατω;
4 But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away.	4 Οι δε εσιωπησαν. Και πιασας ιατρευσεν αυτον και απελυσε.
5 And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?	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;
6 And they could not answer him to these things.	6 Και δεν ηδυνηθησαν να αποκριθωσιν εις αυτον προς ταυτα.
7 And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:	7 Ειπε δε παραβολην προς τους κεκλημενους, επειδη παρετηρει πως εξελεγον τας πρωτοκαθεδριας, λεγων προς αυτους.
8 When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:	8 Οταν προσκληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους, μη καθησης εις τον πρωτον τοπον, μηποτε ειναι προσκεκλημενος υπ' αυτου εντιμοτερος σου,
9 And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee, Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.	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.
10 But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.	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.
11 Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.	11 Διοτι πας ο υψων εαυτον θελει ταπεινωθη και ο ταπεινων εαυτον θελει υψωθη.
12 And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.	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.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;	13 Αλλ' οταν καμνης υποδοχην, προσκαλει πτωχους, βεβλαμμενους, χωλους, τυφλους,
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.	14 και θελεις εισθαι μακαριος, διοτι δεν εχουσι να σοι ανταποδωσωσιν? επειδη η ανταποδοσις θελει γεινει εις σε εν τη αναστασει των δικαιων.
15 When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.	15 Ακουσας δε ταυτα εις των συγκαθημενων, ειπε προς αυτον? Μακαριος οστις φαγη αρτον εν τη βασιλεια του Θεου.
16 But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.	16 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον? Ανθρωπος τις εκαμε δειπνον μεγα και εκαλεσε πολλους?
17 And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.	17 και απεστειλε τον δουλον αυτου τη ωρα του δειπνου δια να ειπη προς τους κεκλημενους? Ερχεσθε, επειδη παντα ειναι ηδη ετοιμα.
18 And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused.	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.
19 And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused.	19 Και αλλος ειπεν? Ηγορασα πεντε ζευγη βοων, και υπαγω να δοκιμασω αυτα? παρακαλω σε, εχε με παρητημενον.
20 And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.	20 και αλλος ειπε? Γυναικα ενυμφευθην, και δια τουτο δεν δυναμαι να ελθω.
21 And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. 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 hither the poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame.	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.
22 And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.	22 Και ειπεν ο δουλος? Κυριε, εγεινεν ως προσεταξας, και ειναι ετι τοπος.
23 And 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.	23 Και ειπεν ο κυριος προς τον δουλον? Εξελθε εις τας οδους και φραγμους και αναγκασον να εισελθωσι, δια να γεμισθη ο οικος μου.
24 But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.	24 Διοτι σας λεγω οτι ουδεις των ανδρων εκεινων των κεκλημενων θελει γευθη του δειπνου μου.
25 And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them:	25 Ηρχοντο δε μετ' αυτου οχλοι πολλοι. Και στραφεις ειπε προς αυτους?
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.	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.
27 And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.	27 Και οστις δεν βασταζει τον σταυρον αυτου και ερχεται οπισω μου, δεν δυναται να ηναι μαθητης μου.
28 For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:	28 Διοτι τις εξ υμων, θελων να οικοδομηση πυργον, δεν καθηται πρωτον και λογαριαζει την δαπανην, αν εχη τα αναγκαια δια να τελειωση αυτον;
29 Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able ti finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,	29 μηποτε αφου βαλη θεμελιον και δεν δυναται να τελειωση αυτον, αρχισωσι παντες οι βλεποντες να εμπαιζωσιν αυτον,
30 Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish.	30 λεγοντες? Οτι ουτος ο ανθρωπος ηρχισε να οικοδομη και δεν ηδυνηθη να τελειωση.
31 Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?	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;
32 Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.	32 Ει δε μη, ενω αυτος ειναι ετι μακραν, αποστελλει πρεσβεις και ζητει ειρηνην.
33 So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.	33 Ουτω λοιπον πας οστις εξ υμων δεν απαρνειται παντα τα εαυτου υπαρχοντα, δεν δυναται να ηναι μαθητης μου.
34 Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?	34 Καλον το αλας? αλλ' εαν το αλας διαφθαρη, με τι θελει αρτυθη;
35 It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill, but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.	35 δεν ειναι πλεον χρησιμον ουτε δια την γην ουτε δια την κοπριαν? εξω ριπτουσιν αυτο. Ο εχων ωτα δια να ακουη ας ακουη.
