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.

Er sprach auch zu dem, der ihn geladen hatte: Wenn du ein Mittags- oder Abendmahl machst, so lade nicht deine Freunde noch deine Brüder noch deine Gefreunden noch deine Nachbarn, die da reich sind, auf daß sie dich nicht etwa wieder laden und dir vergolten werde.
Y dijo también al que le había convidado: Cuando haces comida o cena, no llames a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a vecinos ricos; porque también ellos no te vuelvan a convidar, y te sea hecha compensación.
También decía al que lo había invitado: «Cuando ofrezcas un almuerzo o una cena, no llames a tus amigos, a tus hermanos, a tus parientes ni a tus vecinos ricos, no sea que ellos te inviten a su vez y recibas así tu recompensa.
Il dit aussi à celui qui l'avait invité: Lorsque tu donnes à dîner ou à souper, n'invite pas tes amis, ni tes frères, ni tes parents, ni des voisins riches, de peur qu'ils ne t'invitent à leur tour et qu'on ne te rende la pareille.
Or egli disse a colui che l’avea invitato: Quando tu farai un desinare, o una cena, non chiamare i tuoi amici, nè i tuoi fratelli, nè i tuoi parenti, nè i tuoi vicini ricchi; che talora essi a vicenda non t’invitino, e ti sia reso il contraccambio.
E dizia também ao que o tinha convidado: Quando deres um jantar, ou uma ceia, não chames os teus amigos, nem os teus irmãos, nem os teus parentes, nem vizinhos ricos, para que não suceda que também eles te tornem a convidar, e te seja isso recompensado.
耶穌又對請他的人說:「你準備午飯或晚餐,不要請你的朋友、弟兄、親屬和富足的鄰舍,免得他們回請你,你就得了報答。
