And on an occasion when he went into a house of a chief of the Pharisees to eat bread, they watched him closely.
2 And behold! [there] was there a man before him who was swollen, having too much water in his body. 3 Therefore Jesus spoke to the lawyers, saying: “Is it allowed on the day of rest to heal, or not?” 4 But they were silent. Then he took the man, healed him and sent him away. 5 And he said to them: “Who among you, if his son or his ox falls into a well, does not pull him [/it] up on the day of rest?” 6 And they could not answer these things.
7 Then he told a comparison to the men that were invited, when he perceived how they close the most prominent places for themselves, saying to them: 8 “When you are summoned by a person to a wedding, do not lie down at the most prominent place. Perhaps a person more prominent than you has been invited by him, 9 and the person who summoned you will come and say to you: 'Allow this man to have the place!' And then it is necessary for you to go humbled to the lowest place. 10 Mal íre nalye tultaina, mena ar á caita i amnalda nómesse. Sie, íre i nér ye tultane lye tule, quetuvas lyenna: 'Meldo, tula ama, ambe inga!' Tá samuval alcar epe ilye i queni i anaier tultaine aselye. 11 An ilquen ye orta inse nauva nucumna, mal ye nucume inse nauva ortaina.”
12 Ente, quentes yenna tultane se: “Íre caril şinyemat hya ahtumat, áva tulta meldolyar, hya hánolyar, hya i queni nosselyo, hya lárie armarolyar. Cé yando té tultuvar lyé ata, ar ta nauva lyen *nampaityale. 13 Mal íre caril merende, á tulta penyar, *hroaloicali, *úlévimar, *cénelórar, 14 ar nauval valima, an té samir munta yanen ece tien paitya lyen. An nauva paityaina lyen qualinion ortiesse!”
10 But when you are invited, go and lie at the lowliest place. Thus, when the man who invited you comes, he will say to you: 'Friend, come up, higher!' Then you will have glory before the people that have been invited with you. 11 For everyone who raises [/elevates] himself will be humbled, but [he] who humbles himself will be raised up.”
12 Furthermore, he said to [the one] who invited him: “When you make an evening meal or a supper, do not summon your friends, or your brothers, or the people of your kin, or your rich neighbors. Perhaps they also will invite you again, and that will be for you a paying back. 13 But when you make a feast, invite poor ones, cripples, lame ones, blind ones, 14 and you will be happy, for they have nothing with which it is possible for them to repay you. For [it] will be repaid to you in the rising of [the] dead!”
