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 passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.

2 se ga ndi “U” lilo huk kpa.

And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.

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

Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?

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

And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,

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 answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?

6 Bana kasa niwu na.

And they could not answere him againe to those 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.

He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto 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 shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of 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 that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.

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 art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

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

For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.

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.

Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.

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

But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and 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 shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.

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.

Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.

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

Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade 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 sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.

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

But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue 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 haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.

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

And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not 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.

So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.

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

And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.

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.

Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.

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

For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.

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

Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto 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 come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not 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 whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee 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 minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,

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

Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,

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

Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?

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 make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?

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

Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth 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 likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

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

Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?

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

It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
