路加福音 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
論安息日治病
14 有個安息日，耶穌到一位法利賽人的首領家裡作客，人們密切地監視祂。 2 當時有一個患水腫病的人在耶穌面前， 3 耶穌問法利賽人和律法教師：「在安息日可以醫病嗎？」
4 他們都閉口不言。耶穌便扶著那人把他醫好，叫他走了， 5 然後又問他們：「如果你們有驢[a]或牛在安息日掉進井裡，難道你們不會立刻把牠拉上來嗎？」 6 他們都啞口無言。
論謙卑
7 耶穌在宴席中看見賓客們都爭著坐首位，就用比喻對他們說： 8 「參加婚宴的時候，不要坐在首位，因為或許有更尊貴的賓客來赴宴， 9 主人會把他帶到你面前，說，『請你把首位讓給他吧！』你就要滿面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴時，應該先坐在末位，這樣主人會對你說，『朋友，請上坐！』那時，你在賓客面前就有光彩了。 11 因為自高的人必遭貶抑，謙卑的人必得尊榮。」
論待客之道
12 耶穌又對主人說：「擺設午宴、晚宴時，不要邀請你的朋友、弟兄、親戚或有錢的鄰居，免得他們回請你，你便得到報答了。 13 相反，你設宴時，要邀請貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 這樣你就有福了，因為他們都沒有能力回報你，到了義人復活那天，上帝一定會賞賜你。」
大宴席的比喻
15 同席的一個客人聽了這番話，就對耶穌說：「能夠在上帝的國坐席的人多麼有福啊！」
16 於是，耶穌對他說：「有一個人大擺宴席，邀請了許多客人。 17 要開席的時候，主人就派奴僕去對客人說，『一切都準備好了，來赴宴吧！』 18 可是，他們都找藉口推辭。頭一個說，『我剛買了一塊田，必須去看一看，請恕我不能參加。』 19 另一個說，『我新買了五對牛，要去試一試，請恕我不能參加。』 20 還有一個說，『我剛結了婚，所以不能去。』 21 奴僕回來將這些話告訴主人，主人非常生氣，於是對奴僕說，『快出去到城裡的大街小巷把貧窮的、殘疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都請來。』 22 奴僕說，『主人啊，我照你的吩咐辦了，可是還有空位。』 23 主人又說，『出去到大路上、籬笆旁硬把人拉來，讓我家裡座無虛席。 24 我告訴你們，原來邀請的那些人沒有一個能嚐到我的宴席！』」
做門徒的代價
25 有一大群人跟著耶穌，祂轉身對他們說： 26 「若有人要跟從我，就要愛我勝過愛他的父母、妻子、兒女、弟兄、姊妹，甚至自己的生命，否則就不能作我的門徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟從我，就不能作我的門徒。
28 「哪有人建樓房不事先坐下來計算成本，看能否建成？ 29 否則，打好了地基卻不能完工，徒惹別人嘲笑， 30 『這個人開了工，卻不能完工！』
31 「哪有王要跟另一個王打仗時，不先坐下來酌量一下自己的一萬人是否敵得過對方的兩萬人？ 32 如果自知不敵，一定趁敵人還遠的時候，就差使者去求和。
33 「同樣，你們若不撇下一切，就不能作我的門徒。 34 鹽本來是好的，但如果鹽失去了鹹味，怎能使它再變鹹呢？ 35 沒有味的鹽，既不利於土壤，也不適宜作肥料，只好丟掉。有耳可聽的，就應當聽。」

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
治好水臌病的人
14 在安息日，耶稣进了一个法利赛人领袖的家里吃饭，众人都在窥探他。 2 正好在他面前有一个患水臌病的人； 3 耶稣对律法师和法利赛人说：“在安息日治病，可以不可以呢？” 4 他们却不出声。耶稣扶着病人，治好他，叫他走了， 5 就对他们说：“你们中间谁的儿子或牛在安息日掉在井里，不立刻把他拉上来呢？” 6 他们不能回答这些话。
耶稣教训筵席的主人（参(A)
7 耶稣看见被邀请的客人选择高位，就用比喻对他们说： 8 “你被邀请参加婚筵的时候，不要自己坐在高位上，恐怕有比你更尊贵的客人也被请来； 9 那请你又请他的人过来对你说：‘请你让位给这个人。’那时你就惭愧地退居末位了。 10 你被邀请的时候，要坐在末位上，等请你的人过来对你说：‘朋友，请上座。’那时你在同席的人面前才有光彩。 11 因为凡高抬自己的，必要降卑；自己谦卑的，必要升高。” 12 耶稣又对邀请他的人说：“你设午餐或晚宴，不要请你的朋友、弟兄、亲戚或富裕的邻舍，恐怕他们又回请你，你就得了报答。 13 你摆筵席的时候，总要邀请那贫穷的、残废的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的， 14 那你就有福了。因为他们没有甚么可以报答你，义人复活的时候，你必定得着报答。”
婚筵的比喻（参(B)
15 一起吃饭的人中有一个，听了这些话，就对耶稣说：“在 神的国里吃饭的人有福了。” 16 耶稣对他说：“有一个人大摆筵席，请了许多客人。 17 到了开席的时候，他打发仆人去对所请的人说：‘请来吧！样样都准备好了。’ 18 众人一致推辞，头一个说：‘我买了一块地，不得不去看一看，请原谅我。’ 19 另一个说：‘我买了五对牛，要去试一试，请原谅我。’ 20 又一个说：‘我刚结了婚，不能去。’ 21 仆人回来把这些事告诉他主人，家主就发怒，对仆人说：‘快到城里大街小巷去，把贫穷的、残废的、瞎眼的、瘸腿的，都领到这里来。’ 22 仆人说：‘主啊，你所吩咐的已经办了，还有空位。’ 23 主人就对仆人说：‘你出去到路边篱畔，勉强人进来，好把我的屋子坐满。 24 我告诉你们，先前请的那些人，一个也不得尝我的筵席。’”
作门徒的代价（参(C)
25 有许多人与耶稣同行，他转身对他们说： 26 “如果有人到我这里来，爱我不超过爱（“爱我不超过爱”原文作“不恨”）自己的父母、妻子、儿女、兄弟、姊妹，甚至自己的性命，就不能作我的门徒。 27 凡不背着自己的十字架跟随我的，也不能作我的门徒。 28 你们当中有谁要盖一座楼，不先坐下计算费用，能不能盖成呢？ 29 恐怕安了地基，而不能完成，所有看见的人都讥笑他， 30 说：‘这个人开了工，却不能完工。’ 31 或者一个王去和别的王打仗，哪有不先坐下想想，能否用一万兵去抵抗那领两万来攻打他的呢？ 32 如果不能，就该趁对方还远的时候，派使者去谈判和平的条件。 33 这样，你们中间不论谁，如果不撇下一切所有的，就不能作我的门徒。
34 “盐本来是好的，但如果失了味，怎能使它再咸呢？ 35 或用在田里，或放在粪里，都不合适；只好扔在外面。有耳可听的，就应当听。”
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!
Luke 14

Jesus Heals a Sick Man
14 One Sabbath Jesus went to eat a meal at the home of one of the leading Pharisees; and people were watching Jesus closely. 2 A man whose legs and arms were swollen came to Jesus, 3 and Jesus spoke up and asked the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees, “Does our Law allow healing on the Sabbath or not?”
4 But they would not say a thing. Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away. 5 (A)Then he said to them, “If any one of you had a child or an ox that happened to fall in a well on a Sabbath, would you not pull it out at once on the Sabbath itself?”
6 But they were not able to answer him about this.
Humility and Hospitality
7 Jesus noticed how some of the guests were choosing the best places, so he told this parable to all of them: 8 (B)“When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place. It could happen that someone more important than you has been invited, 9 and your host, who invited both of you, would have to come and say to you, ‘Let him have this place.’ Then you would be embarrassed and have to sit in the lowest place. 10 Instead, when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that your host will come to you and say, ‘Come on up, my friend, to a better place.’ This will bring you honor in the presence of all the other guests. 11 (C)For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great.”
12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors—for they will invite you back, and in this way you will be paid for what you did. 13 When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind; 14 and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death.”
The Parable of the Great Feast(D)
15 When one of the guests sitting at the table heard this, he said to Jesus, “How happy are those who will sit down at the feast in the Kingdom of God!”
16 Jesus said to him, “There was once a man who was giving a great feast to which he invited many people. 17 When it was time for the feast, he sent his servant to tell his guests, ‘Come, everything is ready!’ 18 But they all began, one after another, to make excuses. The first one told the servant, ‘I have bought a field and must go and look at it; please accept my apologies.’ 19 Another one said, ‘I have bought five pairs of oxen and am on my way to try them out; please accept my apologies.’ 20 Another one said, ‘I have just gotten married, and for that reason I cannot come.’ 21 The servant went back and told all this to his master. The master was furious and said to his servant, ‘Hurry out to the streets and alleys of the town, and bring back the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ 22 Soon the servant said, ‘Your order has been carried out, sir, but there is room for more.’ 23 So the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the country roads and lanes and make people come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you all that none of those who were invited will taste my dinner!’”
The Cost of Being a Disciple(E)
25 Once when large crowds of people were going along with Jesus, he turned and said to them, 26 (F)“Those who come to me cannot be my disciples unless they love me more than they love father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and themselves as well. 27 (G)Those who do not carry their own cross and come after me cannot be my disciples. 28 If one of you is planning to build a tower, you sit down first and figure out what it will cost, to see if you have enough money to finish the job. 29 If you don't, you will not be able to finish the tower after laying the foundation; and all who see what happened will make fun of you. 30 ‘You began to build but can't finish the job!’ they will say. 31 If a king goes out with ten thousand men to fight another king who comes against him with twenty thousand men, he will sit down first and decide if he is strong enough to face that other king. 32 If he isn't, he will send messengers to meet the other king to ask for terms of peace while he is still a long way off. 33 In the same way,” concluded Jesus, “none of you can be my disciple unless you give up everything you have.
Worthless Salt(H)
34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, there is no way to make it salty again. 35 It is no good for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Listen, then, if you have ears!”
