116:1
Luc. XIV, 1-15. Et factum est cum intraret in domum cujusdam principis Pharisæorum sabbato manducare panem, et ipsi observabant eum. Et ecce homo quidam hydropicus erat ante illum. Et respondens Jesus dixit ad legisperitos et Pharisaeos, dicens: Si licet sabbato curare? At illi tacuerunt. Ipse vero apprehensum sanavit eum, ct dimisit. Et respondens ad illos dixit: Cujus vestrum asinus aut bos in puteum cadet, et non continuo extrahet illum die sabbati? Et non poterant ad hæc respondere illi. Dicebat autem et ad invitatos parabolam, intendens quomodo primos accubitus eligerent, dicens ad illos:
（路14:1-15）安息日，耶穌到一個法利賽人的首領家裡去吃飯，他們就窺探他。在他面前有一個患水臌的人。耶穌對律法師和法利賽人說：安息日治病可以不可以？他們卻不言語。耶穌就治好那人，叫他走了。便對他們說：你們中間誰有驢或有牛在安息日掉在井裡，不立時拉牠上來呢？他們不能對答這話。耶穌見所請的客揀擇首位，就用比喻對他們說：
(Luke 14:1-15) And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees on the sabbath day to eat bread, that they watched him. And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy. And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away. And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the sabbath day? And they could not answer him to these things. And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats, saying to them:
116:2
Cum invitatus fueris ad nuptias, non discumbas in primo loco, ne forte honoratior te sit invitatus ab eo: et veniens is qui te invitavit et illum, dicat tibi: Da huic locum, et tunc incipias cum rubore novissimum locum tenere. Sed cum vocatus fueris, vade, recumbe in novissimo loco; ut cum venerit qui te invitavit, dicat tibi: Amice, ascendo superius. Tunc erit tibi gloria coram simul discumbentibus: quia omnis qui se exaltat humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat exaltabitur. Dicebat autem et ci qui se invitaverat: Cum facis prandium aut cœnam, noli vocare amicos tuos, neque fratres tuos, nequo cognatos, neque vicinos divites: ne forte et ipsi te reinvitent, et fiat tibi retributio.
你被人請去赴婚筵，不要坐在首位上，恐怕有比你尊貴的客被他請來；那請你們的人前來對你說：讓座給這一位吧！你就羞羞慚慚地退到末位上去了。你被請的時候，就去坐在末位上，好叫那請你的人來對你說：朋友，請上座。那時，你在同席的人面前就有光彩了。因為凡自高的，必降為卑；自卑的，必升為高。耶穌又對請他的人說：你擺設午飯或晚飯，不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親屬和富足的鄰舍，恐怕他們也請你，你就得了報答。
When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him; and he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place; and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee; because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 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 kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
116:3
Sed cum facis COnvivium, voca pauperes, debiles, claudos, cæ: et beatus eris, quia non habent retribuere tibi: retribuitur enim tibi in resurrectione justorum. Hæc cum audisset quidam de simul discumbentibus, dixit iUi: Beatus qui manducabit panem in regno coelo. rum.
你擺設筵席，倒要請那貧窮的、殘廢的、瘸腿的、瞎眼的，你就有福了，因為他們沒有甚麼可報答你；到義人復活的時候，你要得著報答。同席的有一人聽見這話，就對耶穌說：在神國裡吃飯的有福了！
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind; and thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense; for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just. When one of them that sat at table with him had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of heaven.
