Lc 14:1Et factum est cum intrāret Jēsūs in domum cujusdam prīncipis pharisaeōrum sabbatō mandūcāre pānem, et ipsī observābant eum.And it was done, when Jesus went into the house of a certain ruler of the Pharisees on the sabbath to eat bread, that they themselves were watching him. Lc 14:2Et ecce homō quīdam hydrōpicus erat ante illum.And look, a certain man with dropsy was before him. Lc 14:3Et respondēns Jēsūs dīxit ad lēgisperītōs et pharisaeōs, dīcēns: Sī licet sabbatō cūrāre?And answering, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: "Is it allowed to cure on the sabbath?" Lc 14:4At illī tacuērunt.But they were silent. Lc 14:4Ipse vērō apprehēnsum sānāvit eum, ac dīmīsit.He, however, took hold of him and healed him, and let him go. Lc 14:5Et respondēns ad illōs dīxit: Cujus vestrum asinus, aut bōs in puteum cadet, et nōn continuō extrahet illum diē sabbatī?And answering them, he said: "Whose ass or ox of yours will fall into a well, and he will not at once pull it out on the day of the sabbath?" Lc 14:6Et nōn poterant ad haec respondēre illī.And they could not answer him to these things.
Lc 14:7Dīcēbat autem et ad invītātōs parabolam, intendēns quōmodo prīmōs accubitus ēligerent, dīcēns ad illōs: Cum invītātus fueris ad nūptiās, nōn discumbās in prīmō locō, nē forte honōrātior tē sit invītātus ab illō.And he was saying also to those invited a parable, noticing how they were choosing the first places at table, saying to them: "When you have been invited to a wedding, do not recline in the first place, lest perhaps one more honoured than you has been invited by him. Lc 14:9Et veniēns is, quī tē et illum vocāvit, dīcat tibi: Dā huic locum: et tunc incipiās cum rubōre novissimum locum tenēre.And he who called you and him, coming, may say to you: 'Give this man the place': and then you may begin with shame to take the last place. Lc 14:10Sed cum vocātus fueris, vāde, recumbe in novissimō locō: ut, cum vēnerit quī tē invītāvit, dīcat tibi: Amīce, ascende superius.But when you have been called, go, recline in the last place: so that, when he who invited you comes, he may say to you: 'Friend, go up higher.' Lc 14:10Tunc erit tibi glōria cōram simul discumbentibus: quia omnis, quī sē exaltat, humiliābitur: et quī sē humiliat, exaltābitur.Then there will be glory for you before those reclining with you: because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled: and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
Lc 14:12Dīcēbat autem et eī, quī invītāverat: Cum facis prandium, aut coenam, nōlī vocāre amīcōs tuōs, neque frātrēs tuōs, neque cognātōs, neque vīcīnōs dīvitēs: nē forte tē et ipsī reinvītent, et fīat tibi retribūtiō;And he was saying also to him who had invited him: "When you make a lunch or a dinner, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbours: lest perhaps they too invite you back, and a repayment be made to you; Lc 14:13Sed cum facis convīvium, vocā pauperēs, dēbilēs, claudōs, et caecōs: et beātus eris, quia nōn habent retribuere tibi: retribuētur enim tibi in resurrēctiōne jūstōrum.But when you make a banquet, call the poor, the weak, the lame, and the blind: and you will be blessed, because they do not have the means to repay you: for it will be repaid to you at the resurrection of the just." Lc 14:15Haec cum audīsset quīdam dē simul discumbentibus, dīxit illī: Beātus quī mandūcābit pānem in regnō Deī.When a certain one of those reclining with him had heard these things, he said to him: "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God."
Lc 14:16At ipse dīxit eī: Homō quīdam fēcit coenam magnam, et vocāvit multōs.But he said to him: "A certain man made a great dinner, and called many. Lc 14:17Et mīsit servum suum hōrā coenae dīcere invītātīs ut venīrent, quia jam parāta sunt omnia.And he sent his servant at the hour of the dinner to say to those invited that they should come, because now all things are ready. Lc 14:18Et coepērunt simul omnēs excūsāre.And they all began together to make excuses. Lc 14:18Prīmus dīxit eī: Vīllam ēmī, et necesse habeō exīre, et vidēre illam: rogō tē, habē mē excūsātum.The first said to him: 'I have bought a farm, and I have need to go out and see it: I ask you, have me excused.' Lc 14:19Et alter dīxit: Juga boum ēmī quīnque, et eō probāre illa: rogō tē, habē mē excūsātum.And another said: 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them: I ask you, have me excused.' Lc 14:20Et alius dīxit: Uxōrem dūxī, et ideō nōn possum venīre.And another said: 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' Lc 14:21Et reversus servus nūntiāvit haec dominō suō.And the servant, having returned, reported these things to his lord.
Lc 14:21Tunc īrātus paterfamiliās, dīxit servō suō: Exī citō in platēās et vīcōs cīvitātis: et pauperēs, ac dēbilēs, et caecōs, et claudōs intrōdūc hūc.Then the father of the household, angered, said to his servant: 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city: and the poor, and the weak, and the blind, and the lame, bring in here.' Lc 14:22Et ait servus: Domine, factum est ut imperāstī, et adhūc locus est.And the servant said: 'Lord, it has been done as you commanded, and still there is room.' Lc 14:23Et ait dominus servō: Exī in viās, et saepēs: et compelle intrāre, ut impleātur domus mea.And the lord said to the servant: 'Go out into the roads and hedges: and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled. Lc 14:24Dīcō autem vōbīs quod nēmō virōrum illōrum quī vocātī sunt, gustābit coenam meam.But I say to you that none of those men who were called will taste my dinner.'" Lc 14:25Ībant autem turbae multae cum eō: et conversus dīxit ad illōs: Sī quis venit ad mē, et nōn ōdit patrem suum, et mātrem, et uxōrem, et fīliōs, et frātrēs, et sorōrēs, adhūc autem et animam suam, nōn potest meus esse discipulus.Now many crowds were going with him: and turning, he said to them: "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and moreover his own life too, he cannot be my disciple.
Lc 14:27Et quī nōn bājulat crucem suam, et venit post mē, nōn potest meus esse discipulus.And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Lc 14:28Quis enim ex vōbīs volēns turrim aedificāre, nōn prius sedēns computat sūmptūs, quī necessāriī sunt, sī habeat ad perficiendum, nē, posteāquam posuerit fundāmentum, et nōn potuerit perficere, omnēs quī vident, incipiant illūdere eī, dīcentēs: Quia hic homō coepit aedificāre, et nōn potuit cōnsummāre?For which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the costs which are necessary, whether he has enough for completing it, lest, after he has laid the foundation and has not been able to complete it, all who see begin to mock him, saying: 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish'? Lc 14:31Aut Quis rēx itūrus committere bellum adversus alium rēgem, nōn sedēns prius cōgitat, sī possit cum decem mīllibus occurrere eī, quī cum vīgintī mīllibus venit ad sē?Or what king, about to go to wage war against another king, does not first sit down and consider whether he can with ten thousand meet him who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
Lc 14:32Aliōquīn adhūc illō longē agente, lēgātiōnem mittēns rogat ea quae pācis sunt.Otherwise, while that one is still far off, sending an embassy he asks for the things which are of peace. Lc 14:33Sīc ergō omnis ex vōbīs, quī nōn renūntiat omnibus quae possidet, nōn potest meus esse discipulus.So therefore everyone of you who does not renounce all the things which he possesses cannot be my disciple. Lc 14:34Bonum est sāl: sī autem sāl ēvānuerit, in quō condiētur?Salt is good: but if the salt has lost its savour, with what will it be seasoned? Lc 14:35Neque in terram, neque in sterquilīnium ūtile est, sed forās mittētur.Neither for the land nor for the dunghill is it useful, but it will be thrown outside. Lc 14:35Quī habet aurēs audiendī, audiat.He who has ears for hearing, let him hear."
