路加福音 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
论安息日治病
14 有个安息日,耶稣到一位法利赛人的首领家里作客,人们密切地监视祂。 2 当时有一个患水肿病的人在耶稣面前, 3 耶稣问法利赛人和律法教师:“在安息日可以医病吗?”
4 他们都闭口不言。耶稣便扶着那人把他医好,叫他走了, 5 然后又问他们:“如果你们有驴[a]或牛在安息日掉进井里,难道你们不会立刻把它拉上来吗?” 6 他们都哑口无言。
论谦卑
7 耶稣在宴席中看见宾客们都争着坐首位,就用比喻对他们说: 8 “参加婚宴的时候,不要坐在首位,因为或许有更尊贵的宾客来赴宴, 9 主人会把他带到你面前,说,‘请你把首位让给他吧!’你就要满面羞愧地退到末位去了。 10 你去赴宴时,应该先坐在末位,这样主人会对你说,‘朋友,请上坐!’那时,你在宾客面前就有光彩了。 11 因为自高的人必遭贬抑,谦卑的人必得尊荣。”
论待客之道
12 耶稣又对主人说:“摆设午宴、晚宴时,不要邀请你的朋友、弟兄、亲戚或有钱的邻居,免得他们回请你,你便得到报答了。 13 相反,你设宴时,要邀请贫穷的、残疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的, 14 这样你就有福了,因为他们都没有能力回报你,到了义人复活那天,上帝一定会赏赐你。”
大宴席的比喻
15 同席的一个客人听了这番话,就对耶稣说:“能够在上帝的国坐席的人多么有福啊!”
16 于是,耶稣对他说:“有一个人大摆宴席,邀请了许多客人。 17 要开席的时候,主人就派奴仆去对客人说,‘一切都准备好了,来赴宴吧!’ 18 可是,他们都找借口推辞。头一个说,‘我刚买了一块田,必须去看一看,请恕我不能参加。’ 19 另一个说,‘我新买了五对牛,要去试一试,请恕我不能参加。’ 20 还有一个说,‘我刚结了婚,所以不能去。’ 21 奴仆回来将这些话告诉主人,主人非常生气,于是对奴仆说,‘快出去到城里的大街小巷把贫穷的、残疾的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的都请来。’ 22 奴仆说,‘主人啊,我照你的吩咐办了,可是还有空位。’ 23 主人又说,‘出去到大路上、篱笆旁硬把人拉来,让我家里座无虚席。 24 我告诉你们,原来邀请的那些人没有一个能尝到我的宴席!’”
做门徒的代价
25 有一大群人跟着耶稣,祂转身对他们说: 26 “若有人要跟从我,就要爱我胜过爱他的父母、妻子、儿女、弟兄、姊妹,甚至自己的生命,否则就不能做我的门徒。 27 若不背起自己的十字架跟从我,就不能做我的门徒。
28 “哪有人建楼房不事先坐下来计算成本,看能否建成? 29 否则,打好了地基却不能完工,徒惹别人嘲笑, 30 ‘这个人开了工,却不能完工!’
31 “哪有王要跟另一个王打仗时,不先坐下来酌量一下自己的一万人是否敌得过对方的两万人? 32 如果自知不敌,一定趁敌人还远的时候,就差使者去求和。
33 “同样,你们若不撇下一切,就不能做我的门徒。 34 盐本来是好的,但如果盐失去了咸味,怎能使它再变咸呢? 35 没有味的盐,既不利于土壤,也不适宜作肥料,只好丢掉。有耳可听的,就应当听。”

Luka 14
Neno: Bibilia Takatifu
14 Siku moja ya sabato Yesu alipokuwa amekwenda kula chakula kwa mmoja wa viongozi wa Mafarisayo, watu walikuwa wakimtazama kwa makini. 2 Mtu mmoja mwenye ugonjwa wa kuvimba miguu na mikono akaja mbele yake. 3 Yesu akawauliza walimu wa sheria na Mafari sayo, “Je, sheria inaruhusu kumponya mtu siku ya sabato au hairuhusu?” 4 Wakakaa kimya. Basi Yesu akamshika yule mgonjwa akamponya, akamruhusu aende zake. 5 Kisha akawauliza, “Kama mmoja wenu angekuwa na mtoto au ng’ombe wake ambaye ametumbukia katika kisima siku ya sabato, hamtamvuta mara moja na kumtoa?” 6 Hawakuwa na la kujibu.
7 Alipoona jinsi wageni walioalikwa walivyokuwa wakichagua viti vya wageni wa heshima, akawaambia mfano huu: 8 “Mtu akiku alika harusini, usikae kwenye kiti cha mgeni wa heshima. Inaweze kana kuwa amealika mheshimiwa akuzidiye, 9 na yule aliyewaalika ninyi wawili akaja kukuambia, ‘Tafadhali mpishe huyu bwana.’ Ndipo kwa aibu utalazimika kwenda kukaa katika kiti cha nyuma kabisa. 10 Badala yake, unapoalikwa, chagua kiti cha nyuma; na mwenyeji wako akikuona atakuja akuambie, ‘Rafiki yangu, njoo kwe nye nafasi ya mbele zaidi.’ Kwa jinsi hii utakuwa umepewa heshima mbele ya wageni wote. 11 Kwa maana kila mtu anayejitukuza atash ushwa naye ajishushaye atatukuzwa.”
12 Kisha Yesu akamwambia yule aliyewaalika, “Uandaapo kar amu ya chakula cha mchana au jioni, usialike rafiki zako au ndugu zako au jamaa zako au majirani zako tajiri; ukifanya hivyo wao nao watakualika kwao na hivyo utakuwa umelipwa kwa kuwaalika. 13 Bali ufanyapo karamu, waalike maskini, vilema na vipofu; 14 nawe utapata baraka kwa sababu hawa hawana uwezo wa kukulipa.
Mfano Wa Karamu Ya Ufalme Wa Mbinguni
15 Mmoja wa wale waliokuwa mezani pamoja naye aliposikia maneno haya akamwambia, “Ana heri mtu atakayepata nafasi ya kula katika karamu ya Ufalme wa Mbinguni!” 16 Yesu akamjibu, ‘ ‘Mtu mmoja alikuwa anaandaa karamu kubwa, akaalika watu wengi. 17 Wakati wa sherehe ulipofika, akamtuma mtumishi wake akawaam bie walioalikwa, ‘Karibuni, kila kitu ni tayari sasa.’ 18 Lakini wote, mmoja mmoja, wakaanza kutoa udhuru. Wa kwanza akasema, ‘ Nimenunua shamba, lazima niende kuliona. Tafadhali niwie radhi.’ 19 Mwingine akasema, ‘Nimenunua ng’ombe wa kulimia, jozi tano; nimo njiani kwenda kuwajaribu, tafadhali niwie radhi.’ 20 Na mwingine akasema, ‘Nimeoa mke, kwa hiyo siwezi kuja.’
21 “Yule mtumishi akarudi, akampa bwana wake taarifa. Ndipo yule mwenye nyumba akakasirika, akamwambia mtumishi wake, ‘Nenda upesi kwenye mitaa na vichochoro vya mjini uwalete maskini, vilema, vipofu na viwete.’
22 “Baadaye yule mtumishi akamwambia ‘Bwana, yale uliyon iagiza nimefanya, lakini bado ipo nafasi.’ 23 Ndipo yule bwana akamwambia mtumishi wake, ‘Nenda kwenye barabara na njia zilizoko nje ya mji uwalazimishe watu waje mpaka nafasi zote zijae. 24 Ninawaambia, hakuna hata mmoja wa wale niliowapelekea mwaliko rasmi atakayeionja karamu yangu.”
Gharama Ya Kuwa Mfuasi Wa Yesu
25 Wakati mmoja umati mkubwa wa watu ulipokuwa ukifuatana na Yesu, yeye aligeuka, akawaambia, 26 “Mtu ye yote anayekuja kwangu hawezi kuwa mfuasi wangu kama hatanipenda mimi zaidi ya baba yake na mama yake, mke wake na watoto, kaka zake na dada zake; naam, hata maisha yake mwenyewe. 27 Na ye yote asiyebeba msalaba wake na kunifuata hawezi kuwa mfuasi wangu.
28 “Ni nani kati yenu ambaye kama anataka kujenga, hatakaa kwanza na kufanya makisio ya gharama aone kama ana fedha za kutosha kukamilisha ujenzi? 29 Kwa maana ikiwa atajenga msingi halafu ashindwe kuendelea, wote watakaouona watamcheka 30 wakisema, ‘Mtu huyu alianza kujenga lakini ameshindwa kumal iza!’
31 “Au tuseme mfalme mmoja anataka kwenda vitani kupigana na mfalme mwingine: si atakaa kwanza ajishauri kama yeye na jeshi lake lenye watu elfu kumi ataweza kupigana na yule anayekuja na watu elfu ishirini? 32 Kama hawezi, basi itambidi apeleke wajumbe wakati yule mfalme mwingine bado yuko mbali na kuomba masharti ya amani. 33 Hali kadhalika, hakuna mtu atakayeweza kuwa mfuasi wangu kama hataacha vyote alivyo navyo.”
Chumvi Isiyofaa
34 “Chumvi ni kitu kizuri. Lakini chumvi ikiwa imepoteza ladha yake, haiwezi kuwa chumvi tena. 35 Haifai kuwa udongo wala kuwa mbolea; watu huitupa nje. Mwenye nia ya kusikia na asikie!” Mfano Wa Kondoo Aliyepotea
Luke 14
Darby Translation
14 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that *they* were watching him.
2 And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.
3 And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
4 But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.
5 And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?
6 And they were not able to answer him to these things.
7 And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,
8 When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,
9 and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.
10 But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;
11 for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.
12 And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:
14 and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.
15 And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.
17 And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.
18 And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
21 And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.
22 And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.
23 And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;
24 for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
25 And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,
26 If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;
27 and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
28 For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;
29 in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,
30 saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?
31 Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.
33 Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.
34 Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke 14
King James Version
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.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 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?
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
8 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;
9 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.
Luke 14
New International Version
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) 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(D) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(E) 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.
5 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) 6 And they had nothing to say.
7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table,(G) he told them this parable: 8 “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. 9 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)
