Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Masakiton nga Tawo

14 Isa sadto ka Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, gin-imbitar si Jesus sang isa ka manugdumala sang mga Pariseo nga magkaon sa iya balay. Pag-abot ni Jesus didto, ginbantayan siya sang mga tawo nga nagakontra sa iya kon bala lapason niya ang Kasuguan. Karon, may tawo didto nga nagapalamanog ang bug-os niya nga lawas. Nagpamangkot si Jesus sa mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan kag sa mga Pariseo, “Ginatugot bala sang aton Kasuguan nga magpang-ayo sang mga masakiton sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway ukon wala?” Pero naghipos lang sila. Dayon ginkaptan ni Jesus ang tawo kag gin-ayo. Pagkatapos ginpalakat niya. Kag nagsiling siya sa mga tawo didto, “Abi may bata kamo ukon baka nga mahulog sa bubon sa Adlaw nga Inugpahuway. Ano, pabay-an lang bala ninyo tungod kay Adlaw nga Inugpahuway? Siyempre, kuhaon ninyo!” Pero wala gid sing may nakasabat sa iya pamangkot.

Ang Pagpaubos kag ang Pagkamaabiabihon

Napanilagan ni Jesus nga ang mga tawo nga ginpang-imbitar nagapili sang mga pulungkuan nga para sa dungganon nga mga tawo. Gani ginlaygayan niya sila, “Kon imbitaron ka sa punsyon sang kasal, indi mo pagpilion ang pulungkuan nga para sa dungganon nga mga tawo. Kay basi may gin-imbitar nga mas dungganon pa gid sang sa imo. Kag ang nag-imbitar sa inyo nga duha magapalapit sa imo kag magsiling, ‘Abi halin ka anay dira, kay napreparar na ini nga pulungkuan sa sini nga tawo.’ Ti mahuy-an ka kag mapungko ka na lang sa pulungkuan nga para sa ordinaryo nga mga tawo. 10 Pero kon imbitaron ka, pilion mo ang pulungkuan nga para sa ordinaryo nga mga tawo, agod sa pag-abot sang nag-imbitar sa imo palapitan ka niya kag papungkuon sa pulungkuan nga para sa dungganon nga mga tawo. Kundi mapadunggan ka pa sa atubangan sang tanan nga ginpang-imbitar. 11 Kay ang bisan sin-o nga nagapakataas sang iya kaugalingon paubuson, kag ang nagapaubos sang iya kaugalingon pataason.” 12 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa tawo nga nag-imbitar sa iya, “Kon mag-imbitar ka sang mga tawo nga magpanyaga ukon magpanyapon sa inyo, indi lang pag-imbitara ang imo mga amigo ukon ang imo mga utod ukon ang imo mga paryente ukon ang imo mga kaingod nga manggaranon, kay basi kon imbitaron ka man nila kag mabaton mo na ang imo balos. 13 Kon magpapunsyon ka, imbitaron mo man ang mga imol, ang mga pingkaw, ang mga piang, kag ang mga bulag. 14 Mangin bulahan ka tungod kay indi sila makabalos sa imo. Ang Dios amo ang magabalos sa imo sa pag-abot sang panahon sang pagkabanhaw sang mga matarong.”

Ang Paanggid Parte sa Punsyon(A)

15 Sang pagkabati sadto sang isa nga nakaupod kay Jesus sa pagkaon, nagsiling siya, “Bulahan atong mga tawo nga magakaon sa punsyon sa paghari sang Dios!” 16 Dayon gin-estoryahan siya ni Jesus, “May isa ka tawo nga nagpreparar sang dako nga punsyon, kag madamo ang iya ginpang-imbitar. 17 Pag-abot sang oras nga inugkaon na, ginsugo niya ang iya suluguon nga kadtuan ang mga ginpang-imbitar kag silingon, ‘Magkadto na kamo kay preparado na ang tanan!’ 18 Pero kada isa sa ila nagbalibad nga indi sila makakadto. Nagsiling ang isa, ‘Bag-o lang ako nakabakal sang duta kag kinahanglan nga kadtuan ko kag tan-awon. Gani pasensyaha lang anay ako.’ 19 Nagsiling pa gid ang isa, ‘Indi ako makakadto kay bag-o lang ako nakabakal sang napulo ka baka kag tilawan ko na kon bala maayo iarado. Gani pasensyaha lang anay ako.’ 20 Nagsiling pa gid ang isa, ‘Bag-o gid lang ako ginkasal, gani indi ako makakadto.’ 21 Pagkatapos nagbalik ang suluguon sa iya agalon kag ginsugiran niya siya kon ngaa indi sila makakadto. Pagkabati sang agalon naakig siya. Gani nagsiling siya sa iya suluguon, ‘Kadto didto sa mga karsada kag mga kalye sang aton banwa kag dal-a diri ang mga imol, mga pingkaw, mga bulag, kag mga piang.’ 22 Sang mahimo ato sang suluguon, nagsiling siya sa iya agalon, ‘Sir, natuman ko na ang imo sugo, pero may bakante pa gid sa kalan-an.’ 23 Gani nagsiling ang agalon sa iya, ‘Kadto didto sa mga dalan sa guwa sang banwa kag piliton mo ang mga tawo nga imo makita nga magkadto diri agod mapuno ang akon balay. 24 Sugiran ko kamo sang matuod, sa mga tawo nga akon gin-imbitar, wala gid sing may makatilaw sa ila sang akon ginpreparar nga pagkaon.’ ”

Ang Pagsunod sa Ginoo(B)

25 Sang nagapadayon si Jesus sa iya paglakat pakadto sa Jerusalem, madamo nga mga tawo ang nag-upod sa iya. Ginbalikid niya sila kag nagsiling, 26 “Kon may tawo nga luyag magsunod sa akon, pero mas palangga pa niya ang iya mga ginikanan, asawa, mga bata, mga utod, ukon ang iya kaugalingon sang sa akon, indi siya takos nga mangin akon sumulunod. 27 Ang bisan sin-o nga indi magsunod sa akon tungod kay nahadlok siya nga mapatay para sa akon[a] indi takos nga mangin akon sumulunod. 28 Ang tawo nga luyag magsunod sa akon pareho siya sang isa ka tawo nga nagaplano nga magpatindog sang mataas nga balay. Una, bantaon niya anay kon pila ang magasto niya kag kon bala makaigo ang iya kuwarta nga gastuhon hasta mahuman ini. 29 Kay kon indi niya ini paghimuon basi pundasyon pa lang ang iya maobra kag maubos na ang iya kuwarta kag indi na niya mahuman. Gani kadlawan gid siya sang mga tawo nga makakita. 30 Magasiling sila, ‘Nagsagi lang patindog sang balay nga indi man lang makapahuman.’ 31 Pareho man sa isa ka hari nga magapakig-away sa iban nga hari. Kinahanglan planohon niya anay kon bala ang iya mga soldado nga 10,000 makasarang magpakig-away sa hari nga may 20,000 ka soldado. 32 Kon banta niya nga indi siya makasarang, maayo pa nga samtang wala pa ang away magsugo siya sang pila sang iya mga tinawo sa pagsiling sa iya kontra nga hari nga luyag na lang niya nga magpakighusay. 33 Amo man ina ang dapat ninyo nga himuon. Binagbinagon ninyo anay ang inyo pagsunod sa akon, kay kon indi ninyo pagbayaan ang tanan nga inyo ginapasulabi diri sa kalibutan, indi man kamo takos nga mangin akon sumulunod.”

Ang Asin(C)

34 “Ang asin maayo, pero kon maglain ang iya sabor, wala na sing may mahimo agod mapabalik pa ang iya sabor. 35 Indi na mapuslan bisan ilakot pa sa mga higko agod iabuno, gani ginapilak na lang. Kamo nga nagapamati, dapat intiendihon gid ninyo ining inyo nabatian.”

  1. 14:27 nahadlok siya nga mapatay para sa akon: sa literal, indi siya magpas-an sang iya krus. Ang krus diri nagasimbolo sang kamatayon, kay isa sa mga paagi sa pagsilot sa mga kriminal sadto nga panahon amo ang kamatayon sa krus.

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(A)

14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(B) he was being carefully watched.(C) There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[a] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(F) And they had nothing to say.

When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”(H)

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,(I) 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”(J)

The Parable of the Great Banquet(K)

15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast(L) in the kingdom of God.”(M)

16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’

19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’

21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’(N)

22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’

23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”(O)

The Cost of Being a Disciple

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.(P) 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.(Q)

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

31 “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.(R)

34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?(S) 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.(T)

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”(U)

  1. Luke 14:5 Some manuscripts donkey

14 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer him again to these things.

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.

13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. 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 maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

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.

27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
