路 加 福 音 14
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
在安息日给人治病对吗？
14 在一个安息日里，耶稣来到法利赛人的一个首领家里去吃饭。在场的人们都密切地注视着他， 2 因为耶稣面前有一个患水肿病的人。 3 耶稣一见他就开口问律法师和法利赛人∶“在安息日是否允许为人治病呢？” 4 可是，没有人作声，于是，耶稣扶着那个病人并治愈了他，然后叫他离开了。 5 耶稣又对律法师和法利赛人说∶“如果你们中间，有人的儿子、或者是他家的一头牛，在安息日时掉进了井里，那么，难道你们不会把他（它）马上拽上来吗？” 6 这些人立刻被问得哑口无言了。
不要自命不凡
7 耶稣看到客人都为自己挑选贵宾席位，所以耶稣给他们讲了一个比喻，他说： 8 “有人请你们去赴婚筵时，不要坐在贵宾席上，因为主人可能已邀请了比你们更重要的客人。 9 如果真的是那样的话，邀请你的人就会走到你身边，对你说∶‘请把你的座位让给这个人。’那时，你只好羞愧地退到最后的座位上去。 10 但是你们受到邀请时，你们主动坐到了末座上，所以，当主人来对你说∶‘朋友，请上座。’那时，你就会在所有的来客面前有光彩。 11 因为自命不凡的人将受到贬低，而自甘谦卑的人则受到器重。”
你将得回报
12 然后，耶稣又对邀请他的那个人说∶“你招待午餐或晚餐时，不要邀请你的朋友、兄弟、亲戚或富有的邻居，因为，他们这些人将回请你，那样的话，你就得了回报。 13 但是，你摆宴席时，要邀请穷人、残疾人，瘸腿的和瞎眼的， 14 他们拿不出什么东西回报你，这样，你就有福了，因为你们将在虔诚的人复活的日子里得到报偿。”
邀请赴宴的故事
15 当时，与耶稣同桌吃饭的一个人听到了这些话就对耶稣说∶“能在上帝王国里享受筵席的人是多么有福啊！”
16 耶稣对他说∶“一个人准备了一顿丰盛的宴席，又邀请了很多客人。 17 到了该吃饭的时候，他派奴仆去对客人说∶‘请来吧，一切都准备好了！’ 18 可是，这些客人都开始找借口来推辞。第一个人说∶‘我刚买了一块地，我必须出去看看，请原谅。’ 19 另一个人说∶‘我买了五对牛，要去试试它们，请原谅。’ 20 还有一个说∶‘我刚刚结婚，所以我不能来。’ 21 于是，那个仆人回来，把一切都报告给了主人，主人听后，很生气，便对仆人说∶‘你到大街小巷里去，把那些穷人、残疾人，瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都请来！’ 22 后来，仆人又说∶‘主人，我照您的吩咐做了，可是还有些空座位，’ 23 然后主人对仆人说∶‘出去到路上，沿着栅栏，劝人进来，让我的房子都坐满了人。 24 我告诉你们：我原来请的那些人，没有一个能尝到我的筵席！’”
决定是否你们能跟随我
25 有很多人与耶稣同行着，他转过身对他们说∶ 26 “到我这里来的人，如果爱我不能胜过爱他的父母、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姐妹，甚至自己的生命，那么，他就不能做我的门徒； 27 不肯背着他的十字架跟随我的人也不能做我的门徒； 28 如果你们中有人想造一座塔，他会不会首先坐下来，仔细计算费用，看看他是否有足够的钱去完工呢？ 29 否则，他有可能打下地基，但却不能完工。到那时，所有看到这一切人就都会嘲笑他说： 30 ‘这个人只能开工，但是却不能完工！’
31 “如果一个国王出征与另一个国王打仗，他会不会首先坐下来，仔细考虑他的一万个士兵是否能抵挡另一个拥有两万个士兵的国王呢？ 32 如果不能，他就应该趁敌人还在远方时，派谴使者去与对方谈判和平的条件。 33 同样，如果你们有谁不能放弃他拥有的财产，就不能成为我的门徒。
不要失去你们的影响
34 “盐是好东西，但是，如果盐失去了咸味，它怎么可能再变咸呢？ 35 不咸的盐甚至对土壤和肥料都毫无益处，只好扔掉。
“凡有耳朵听的人，都听着！”
Lukas 14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
14 And it came to pass when he went into a bais of a certain one of the Rashei HaPerushim on Shabbos for betziat halechem, and they were watching him closely,
2 And there in front of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was a certain ish suffering from dropsy,
3 And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach spoke to the Baalei Torah and Perushim, saying, Is it mutar (permissible) on Shabbos to give refuah or not?
4 But they kept silent. And having taken hold of him, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach granted him refuah and sent him away.
5 And to them Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Who of you having a ben or an ox fall into a well and will not ofen ort (immediately) pull him out on Shabbos?
6 And they were not able to make a counter argument keneged (against) this.
7 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began speaking a mashal to the seudah (banquet supper) invitees, when he noticed how they had been picking out the rashei hamoshavot (chief seats) at the tish, saying to them,
8 When you are invited by someone to a Chasunoh (wedding), you should not recline at tish in the rashei hamoshavot (chief seats), lest a more distinguished person than you may have been invited by him,
9 And he who invited you both shall come and say to you, Give place to this one, and then in bushah (shame) you proceed to occupy the seat of humiliation, the low seat.
10 But when you are invited, go and recline at tish in the moshav hashafel (low seat), so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, Chaver, move up to a higher place; then you will have kavod in the sight of all with you at the tish.
11 For everyone exalting himself shall be humbled, and the one humbling himself shall be exalted.
12 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was speaking also to the one who invited him, When you prepare a seudah or a Melave Malkah, do not invite your chaverim or your achim or your krovey mishpochot (relatives) or your shchenim haashirim, lest they also should invite you in return and repayment come to you.
13 But when you prepare a seudah (feast), invite the aniyim (the poor), the baalei hamum (the maimed), the pisechim (the lame), the ivrim (blind),
14 And Birkat Shomayim (the Blessing of Heaven) will befall you, because they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid in the Yom Tekumat HaTzadikkim (Day of the Resurrection of the Righteous, Rev 20:5).
15 And when a certain one of those reclining at tish with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach heard these things, he said to him, Ashrey is he who will eat lechem in the Malchut Hashem! [YESHAYAH 25:6]
16 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, A certain man was preparing a big seudah, and he invited many;
17 And at the dinner hour, he sent his eved to say to the seudah invitees, Come, because everything is ready now.
18 But each began to come up with a teretz (excuse). The rishon (first) said to him, I bought a sadeh (field) and I am compelled to go out and look at it. Please be mekabel (receive, accept) my teretz.
19 And another said, I have bought chamesh pair of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please be mekabel my teretz (excuse).
20 And another said, I took a wife and therefore I am not able to come.
21 And the eved returned and reported this to his Adon. Then the Baal Bayit became angry and said to his eved, Go out quickly into the rekhovot (streets) and lanes of the shtetl and bring in here the aniyim (the poor) and the baalei hamum (the maimed) and the ivrim (blind) and the pisechim (the lame).
22 And the eved said, Adoni, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.
23 And the Adon said to the eved, Go out to the rekhovot and along the boundaries and urge them to come in, in order that My Beis may be filled.
24 For I say to you that no one of those Bnei Adam who were invited will taste my seudah.
25 And large multitudes were accompanying him, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach turned and said to them,
26 If someone comes to me, and does not hate [hyperbolically, in comparison to Moshiach] his own Abba and Em (mother) and isha and yeladim and achim and achayot and in addition also his own life [in the Olam Hazeh], he is not able to be my [Moshiach’s] talmid.
27 Whoever does not carry his own etz [of self denial] and come after me [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] is not able to be my [Moshiach’s] talmid.
28 For who among you, wanting to build a migdal (tower), will not first sit down and rechen (calculate) the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 Otherwise, having laid his yesod (foundation) and not being able to finish it, everyone seeing it may begin to make leitzonus (fun, mockery) of him,
30 Saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.
31 Or what melech, going out to make milchamah (war) against another melech, will not first sit down and consider if he is able with aseret alafim (ten thousand) to meet the one with esrim elef (twenty thousand) coming against him?
32 Or else, while the other is noch (yet) far away, he sends an embassy delegation and seeks terms for shalom.
33 So, then, none of you can become my talmid if you do not renounce all your [idolatrous] holdings.
34 Therefore, melach (salt) is tov; but if even melach should become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
35 It is useless either for the land or for the dung hill; they throw it away. The one who has ears to hear, shema!
