Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And 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.
1Et factum est cum intraret Jesus in domum cujusdam principis pharisæorum sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum.
2And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
2Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum.
3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
3Et respondens Jesus dixit ad legisperitos et pharisæos, dicens: Si licet sabbato curare?
4And they held their peace. And he took him , and healed him, and let him go;
4At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ac dimisit.
5And 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?
5Et respondens ad illos dixit: Cujus vestrum asinus, aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati?
6And they could not answer him again to these things.
6Et non poterant ad hæc respondere illi.
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,
7Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:
8When 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;
8Cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias, non discumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab illo.
9And 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.
9Et veniens is, qui te et illum vocavit, dicat tibi: Da huic locum: et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere.
10But 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.
10Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade, recumbe in novissimo loco: ut, cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascende superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus:
11For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
11quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
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.
12Dicebat autem et ei, qui invitaverat: Cum facis prandium, aut cœnam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, neque cognatos, neque vicinos divites: ne forte te et ipsi reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio;
13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
13sed cum facis convivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, et cæcos:
14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
14et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi: retribuetur enim tibi in resurrectione justorum.
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.
15Hæc cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit illi: Beatus qui manducabit panem in regno Dei.
16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
16At ipse dixit ei: Homo quidam fecit cœnam magnam, et vocavit multos.
17And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
17Et misit servum suum hora cœnæ dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia jam parata sunt omnia.
18And 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.
18Et cœperunt simul omnes excusare. Primus dixit ei: Villam emi, et necesse habeo exire, et videre illam: rogo te, habe me excusatum.
19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
19Et alter dixit: Juga boum emi quinque, et eo probare illa: rogo te, habe me excusatum.
20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
20Et alius dixit: Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire.
21So 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.
21Et reversus servus nuntiavit hæc domino suo. Tunc iratus paterfamilias, dixit servo suo: Exi cito in plateas et vicos civitatis: et pauperes, ac debiles, et cæcos, et claudos introduc huc.
22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
22Et ait servus: Domine, factum est ut imperasti, et adhuc locus est.
23And 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.
23Et ait dominus servo: Exi in vias, et sæpes: et compelle intrare, ut impleatur domus mea.
24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
24Dico autem vobis quod nemo virorum illorum qui vocati sunt, gustabit cœnam meam.
25¶ And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
25Ibant autem turbæ multæ cum eo: et conversus dixit ad illos:
26If 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.
26Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus.
27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
27Et qui non bajulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus.
28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it ?
28Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim ædificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum,
29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it , all that behold it begin to mock him,
29ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes qui vident, incipiant illudere ei,
30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
30dicentes: Quia hic homo cœpit ædificare, et non potuit consummare?
31Or 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?
31Aut quis rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se?
32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
32Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea quæ pacis sunt.
33So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
33Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus quæ possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus.
34¶ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
34Bonum est sal: si autem sal evanuerit, in quo condietur?
35It 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.
35Neque in terram, neque in sterquilinium utile est, sed foras mittetur. Qui habet aures audiendi, audiat.
