Luke 14

1 Ni vi u chachu sati ri, wa a ri ni koh bi ninkon Farisawa ri du rhi biri, ndji ba sru shishi ni wu.

And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

2 se ga ndi “U” lilo huk kpa.

And behold, there was a certain man in front of him afflicted with edema.

3 Yesu ya da mye bihan vuvu baba Farisawa, abi du ba chu lilo rju ni chachu sati ko an an?

And having responded, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it permitted to heal on the sabbath?

4 U ba sun ngbangbi, Yesu ka vu ni wo lunde da chu lilo rju niwu, da du hi kpama.

But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him.

5 Yesu mye ba, ahi nha ni mi-mbi, inde vren ma, ko napron ma aku ni juju ni chachu sati, wa ana chu na?

And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath?

6 Bana kasa niwu na.

And they could not answer him back to these things.

7 Da Yesu si ya ba da toh bi wa ba you ba ye, ba wa bubu sun bi ni koh, watre kayiyi, nda tre.

And he spoke a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose out the chief places, saying to them,

8 Inde ba you hi ni bubu gan u gran na kuson ni bubu bi ninkon na, ani yiwu ba you ndi wa a zawu.

When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.

9 Inde ndji wa a you yi ha bi, aye, a ni tre no bubu sun me, “u shan ni ti'u, u” wu kma hi ni bubu bi kalachu.

And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place.

10 Inde ndji wa a you, a tre kpamu hon ye ni wayi, nakima, u ndji ba, ba no ninkoh, bana kpa wu tsri na. biwa bi son baba ni tebru'a.

But when thou are invited, having gone, sit down in the last place, so that when he who has invited thee comes, he will say to thee, Friend, go up higher, then it will be esteem to thee in the presence of those dining with thee.

11 Indji wa a nzu tuma, baka ka tuma grji, wu wa u katu me grji, ba nzutu me hi shu.

Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.

12 Yesu hla ni ndji wa you ye, inde wu ta ni yo ndji ye ri biri, ko ni gan, u ka na yo kpukpan me na, ko mri vary me na, ko malan me na, ko bi kutra kahlan mena bi nklen na, baba me ba you ngame, wandi ba njiye niwu.

And he also said to the man who invited him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor prosperous neighbors, lest they also invite thee in return, and a recompense be made to thee.

13 Ba tie lulu yo don bana ban ni wu na,

But when thou make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,

14 inde wu yo ndji ye ni gan me, u ka yo bi kalanchu, ni bi wa bana he ni gbengblen na, ni bi kple zah, ni bi fie, ba tie lulu you don bana he ni kpe wa ba han wu na. Don ba tie lulu yo ni chachu wu lunde bi kinklan suron.

and thou will be blessed, because they do not have to recompense thee, for it will be recompensed to thee at the resurrection of the righteous.

15 Da indji ri wa a son ni tie bru ni Yesu awoh tre a, nda tre, ba tie lulu yo ni ndji wa ani rhi biri ni koh Irji.

And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.

16 Yesu woh da tre ndi ndji ri atie gan rigra ma nda yo ndji gbugbu-u.

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many.

17 Da inton wu gan a tie, wa a ton ivren koh ma du hi hla ni bawu du ba ye, biri a we ye.

And he sent forth his bondman at the hour of the meal to say to those who were invited, Come, because all things are now ready.

18 Wa wu bawu, bana yena, u mumla a tre ndi wawu le rju, wawu ni bi toh wru hle ni mu.

And they all from one began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I have need to go out and see it. I ask thee have me excused.

19 U na tre wawu le lando bi zran ton, mi yi tsra ba toh, mi bre wu, du wru hle ni mu.

And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them. I ask thee have me excused.

20 U tra a tre ndi wawu gran wa, naki mina ye na.

And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I cannot come.

21 Da vren koh aye hla ni ti-koh ma ikpe biyi, u ti koh ma ka tie nfu, nda hla ni vren koh ma du hi gbagbla ninkon bi gbu i, ni kosan gbu, nda yo biwa bana he ni gbengblen na, ni bi chiche, ni bi fie baba bi kple zah.

And that bondman, having come, he informed his lord these things. Then the house-ruler having become angry, he said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the thoroughfares and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and maimed and crippled and blind.

22 Vren koh a tre, iti koh, ikpie wa u tre a kle hra zizan bubu a na shu na.

And the bondman said, Lord, as thou commanded it has happened, and yet there is room.

23 Se ndji u koh ka hla ni vre koh ma hi nikoh ni kosan gbu ndi yo gbugbu ndji du ba ye du koh mu shu.

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 Mi hla ni yiwu, biwa mi you ba ni mumla ba na ye kpe ni iye u muna

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few chosen.

25 Basi zren ndji gbugbu basi hu, wa hla ni bawu,

Now many multitudes went with him, and having turned, he said to them,

26 Du ndji wa ani ye nime, ndana kama ni tima na, mba iyima, ni iwa ma na, ni mri ma, ni mri vayi ma, mri lon baba mri mba ba, hra ni dri ma na, ana ya zama vren koh muna.

If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 Indji wa ana he ni suron u ban giciye nda ye hu me na, ana ya son u vren koh mu na.

And whoever does not bear his cross, and come behind me, cannot be my disciple.

28 Ahi nha nimi mbi wa ani son be koh wu shu, nda na bla inklen wa ahe ni wu, ko ani tsra u, u me koh, ko ana tsra na.

For which of you wanting to build a tower, does not, having first sat down, count the cost whether he has the things for completion?

29 Inde a zi nchi koh'a, kana kle meh na, u biwa ba meh baba ba ka nza'u,

So that perhaps, having laid its foundation, and not being able to finish, all those who see begin to ridicule him,

30 Ba ta tre toh ndji ani son meh koh, ana ya meh kle na.

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

31 A chu rime ani hi taku ni chu ri nda na son nda bla bi taku ma toh ni mumla, ko soja ma bi gbengblen ba kai dubu wulon wa ani ya kbu tu ni chu rima mu wa a he ni bi gbengblen dubu shirin.

Or what king going to encounter another king in war, will not, having first sat down, consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

32 To inde an ya na, ka wa sun si ni chu rima.

And if not, while he is still far off, having sent a delegation, he asks the things about peace.

33 Naki ba ndi wa ni mibi wandi ana ka kpe wa a he ni chu wo na, da ani ya k'ma tie vren koh mu.

So therefore every man of you who does not renounce all things being possessed by him, cannot be my disciple.

34 Ima a kpie ndindima, inde imma a sa ba mla tie ni ni ngyen?

The salt material is good, but if the salt material becomes tasteless, by what will it be seasoned?

35 Ana labi gana, sei baka ka hlega, ka kma tie toki ni meme, ndji wa ahe ni ton ka wo.

It is fit neither for the land nor for manure; they cast it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
