YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

1 Y ACONTECIÓ que entrando en casa de un príncipe de los Fariseos un sábado á comer pan, ellos le acechaban.

2 and lo, there was a certain dropsical man before him;

2 Y he aquí un hombre hidrópico estaba delante de él.

3 and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, 'Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?'

3 Y respondiendo Jesús, habló á los doctores de la ley y á los Fariseos, diciendo: ¿Es lícito sanar en sábado?

4 and they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], he healed him, and let [him] go;

4 Y ellos callaron. Entonces él tomándole, le sanó, y despidióle.

5 and answering them he said, 'Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the sabbath-day?'

5 Y respondiendo á ellos dijo: ¿El asno ó el buey de cuál de vosotros caerá en [algún] pozo, y no lo sacará luego en día de sábado?

6 and they were not able to answer him again unto these things.

6 Y no le podían replicar á estas cosas.

7 And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them,

7 Y observando cómo escogían los primeros asientos á la mesa, propuso una parábola á los convidados, diciéndoles:

8 'When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him,

8 Cuando fueres convidado de alguno á bodas, no te sientes en el primer lugar, no sea que otro más honrado que tú esté por él convidado,

9 and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.

9 Y viniendo el que te llamó á ti y á él, te diga: Da lugar á éste: y entonces comiences con vergüenza á tener el lugar último.

10 'But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee;

10 Mas cuando fueres convidado, ve, y siéntate en el postrer lugar; porque cuando viniere el que te llamó, te diga: Amigo, sube arriba: entonces tendrás gloria delante de los que juntamente se asientan á la mesa.

11 because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

11 Porque cualquiera que se ensalza, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será ensalzado.

12 And he said also to him who did call him, 'When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to thee;

12 Y dijo también al que le había convidado: Cuando haces comida ó cena, no llames á tus amigos, ni á tus hermanos, ni á tus parientes, ni á vecinos ricos; porque también ellos no te vuelvan á convidar, y te sea hecha compensación.

13 but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,

13 Mas cuando haces banquete, llama á los pobres, los mancos, los cojos, los ciegos;

14 and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.'

14 Y serás bienaventurado; porque no te pueden retribuir; mas te será recompensado en la resurrección de los justos.

15 And one of those reclining with him, having heard these things, said to him, 'Happy [is] he who shall eat bread in the reign of God;'

15 Y oyendo esto uno de los que juntamente estaban sentados á la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que comerá pan en el reino de los cielos.

16 and he said to him, 'A certain man made a great supper, and called many,

16 El entonces le dijo: Un hombre hizo una grande cena, y convidó á muchos.

17 and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all things ready.

17 Y á la hora de la cena envió á su siervo á decir á los convidados: Venid, que ya está todo aparejado.

18 'And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves: The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused.

18 Y comenzaron todos á una á excusarse. El primero le dijo: He comprado una hacienda, y necesito salir y verla; te ruego que me des por excusado.

19 'And another said, Five yoke of oxen I bought, and I go on to prove them; I beg of thee, have me excused:

19 Y el otro dijo: He comprado cinco yuntas de bueyes, y voy á probarlos; ruégote que me des por excusado.

20 and another said, A wife I married, and because of this I am not able to come.

20 Y el otro dijo: Acabo de casarme, y por tanto no puedo ir.

21 'And that servant having come, told to his lord these things, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly to the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in hither.

21 Y vuelto el siervo, hizo saber estas cosas á su señor. Entonces enojado el padre de la familia, dijo á su siervo: Ve presto por las plazas y por las calles de la ciudad, y mete acá los pobres, los mancos, y cojos, y ciegos.

22 'And the servant said, Sir, it hath been done as thou didst command, and still there is room.

22 Y dijo el siervo: Señor, hecho es como mandaste, y aun hay lugar.

23 'And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled;

23 Y dijo el señor al siervo: Ve por los caminos y por los vallados, y fuérza[los] á entrar, para que se llene mi casa.

24 for I say to you, that none of those men who have been called shall taste of my supper.'

24 Porque os digo que ninguno de aquellos hombres que fueron llamados, gustará mi cena.

25 And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them,

25 Y muchas gentes iban con él; y volviéndose les dijo:

26 'If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple;

26 Si alguno viene á mí, y no aborrece á su padre, y madre, y mujer, é hijos, y hermanos, y hermanas, y aun también su vida, no puede ser mi discípulo.

27 and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

27 Y cualquiera que no trae su cruz, y viene en pos de mí, no puede ser mi discípulo.

28 'For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expence, whether he have the things for completing?

28 Porque ¿cuál de vosotros, queriendo edificar una torre, no cuenta primero sentado los gastos, si tiene lo que necesita para acabarla?

29 lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,

29 Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que [lo] vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,

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

30 Diciendo: Este hombre comenzó á edificar, y no pudo acabar.

31 'Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him?

31 ¿O cuál rey, habiendo de ir á hacer guerra contra otro rey, sentándose primero no consulta si puede salir al encuentro con diez mil al que viene contra él con veinte mil?

32 and if not so — he being yet a long way off — having sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace.

32 De otra manera, cuando aun el otro está lejos, le ruega por la paz, enviándo[le] embajada.

33 'So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.

33 Así pues, cualquiera de vosotros que no renuncia á todas las cosas que posee, no puede ser mi discípulo.

34 'The salt [is] good, but if the salt doth become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned?

34 Buena es la sal; mas si aun la sal fuere desvanecida, ¿con qué se adobará?

35 neither for land nor for manure is it fit — they cast it without. He who is having ears to hear — let him hear.'

35 Ni para la tierra, ni para el muladar es buena; fuera la arrojan. Quien tiene oídos para oir, oiga.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Commentary 14:16 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXII)
Holy lessons have been set forth before us, to which we should both give ear, and upon which by the Lord's help I would deliver some observations. In the Apostolic lesson thanks are rendered unto the Lord for the faith of the Gentiles, of course, because it was His work.
