Luke 14
1 Cholngahni khat Yeshua nilhah an nedin Pharisee ho lamkai khat in'ah achen, chule miho chun phatah in avelhiuvin ahi.
It happened on the Sabbath Day when he went into the house of a certain ruler among Pharisees to take a meal, that they were watching him.
2 Hiche a chun mikhat, aban le akengho pom khat aumin ahi.
And lo! there was in front of him a man who had dropsy.
3 Yeshuan Pharisee hole danthu themho chu adongin, “Cholngah nikhoa misuhdam danthun aphal hai aphallou ham?” ati.
So Jesus questioned the lawyers and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath Day or not?"
4 Amahon adonbut nom lou phat un, Yeshuan anapa chu atham'in chule asudam'in asolmang tai.
They kept silent. Then Jesus took him and healed him and let him go.
5 Chuin amaho lam ngan aseitai, “Nangho cholngah nia natonglou koi naum uvam? Nachapa ham ahiloule na bongchal hamkhat kokhuh a alhahlut le, aladoh dinga nakino ji hih um?” ati.
And to them he said, "Which of you when an ox or ass has fallen into a well, will at once pull him out on the Sabbath Day?"
6 Avel'in adonbut thei kit tapouve.
They could not answer this.
7 Nilhah anne a hung jouse chun touna nom nom jabolna mun achu cheh'u Yeshuan amu phat in, aman amaho chu hiche thumop hi apen ahi.
He told a parable to the guests when he noticed how they began choosing the best seats. He said to them.
8 “Moupui golvah na'a kouna namu teng uleh, jabolna munhoa tou hih un. Ijem tin nang sanga jabolna chang ding khat ana kikou khataleh ipi tin tem?”
"When you are invited by any one to a marriage-feast, do not sit down in the best seat, lest a guest more distinguished than yourself has been invited, and your host come to you and say,
9 Kinneipa chun ahung seiding, “Natouna chu hiche mipa hi pen” atiding ahi. Chuteng nangma najah cha ding ahi, chutengleh dokhang noiya kikoi touna hoa chu natou ding ahitai!
"‘Give place to this man,’ and then with mortification you proceed to take the lowest place.
10 “Chusang chun dokhang kengbul mun nemnung pen'a chun touvin. Chuteng kinneipan nahin muding nahenga hunga, ‘Jol, nang dingin mun phajep kaneiyuve!’ ahung tiding ahi. Chuteng nangma chu jin kikou dang ho masanga jana nachan ding ahi.
"But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when your host arrives he may say to you, ‘My friend, come up higher.’ Then you will be honored before the other guest.
11 Ijeh inem itile ama kichoisang chan chu suhnem'a umdiu ahi, chule akineosah chan chu dopsang'a umdiu ahi” ati.
"For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
12 Chuin in-neipa chu aven, hitin aseiye “Nangman nehkhom ahilouleh golvah nabol teng, naloi nagol ho, nasopiho, na inkote, chule naheng nakom mihao ho kou hih'in. Ajeh chu amahon nangma nahin koukit diu ahin, hiche bou chu natohga hiding ahitai.
Also to his host who had invited him, he continued, saying. "When you are making a dinner-party or a supper, do not invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, lest it chance that they invite you in return, and a recompense be made by you.
13 Chusang chun mivaichaho, chatmo ho, elbai ho, chule mitcho ho kou jon.
"But when you make a reception, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
14 Chuteng michonpha thokitna'a Pathen in nanungsah joulou ding ho nakou jeh a nangma tohphatman napeh ding ahi,” ati.
"Then you will be blessed, because they have no means to repay you, but you shall be paid in the Resurrection of the Just."
15 Hiche thu ajah hin mikhat dokhanga Yeshua toh toukhom khat in, “Pathen Lenggam'a golvah ankonga galhah ding iti anop tadem!” tin ahin phongdoh e.
One of his fellow guest who was listening to him, said to him, "Blessed are those who eat bread in the kingdom of God."
16 Yeshuan adonbut nan hiche thusim hi aseipeh e: Mikhat hin golvah lentah abol in kouna lekha jong tamtah athot doh tai.
Jesus answered. "A certain man was making a great feast to which he invited many guests.
17 Golvah anneh khom chu gontup ahiphat in, asohte asol'in, akikou ho jah'a, “Hungun golvah ankong gontup ahitai” agatisah'e.
"At dinnertime he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’
18 Ahivangin amahon abon'un ahitheilou nau thu aseiyun ahi. Khat in, “Tutah chun loumun kachon kavettoh lou akhoh'e, lungsettah in nei ngaidam in” ati.
"And they all, without exception, proceeded to excuse themselves. The first told him. ‘I have bought a field, and must needs go and see it. Pray have me excused.’
19 Khat kit chun, Keiman tutah chun bongchal to-nga kahin chon, hithei nam ti kavet got ahi, lungset'in nei ngaidam un, ati.
"The second said. ‘I have bought five yolk of oxen and am on my way to try them. I pray that you will have me excused.’
20 Achom khat in, tun ji kaneiyin, hijeh chun hung thei ponge, ati.
"‘I have taken a wife,’ said the another, ‘and for that reason I am unable to come.’
21 “Sohpa chu akilen apakai pa kom ah ipi iti adonbut'u aseipeh tai. Apakai pachu alung hang in hitin ahinsei tai, ‘Kintah'in chenlang, khopi sung lamlen tin'ah mivaicha ho, chatmo ho, mitcho ho, chule elbai ho gakou tan’ ati.
"So the slave came and presented all these answers to his master. Then the master of the house was indignant, and said to his slave. ‘Go out, quickly, into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the blind, the lame.’
22 Asohpan hichu aboljou phat in, ahung hetsah in, ‘Mun a-ong nalaiye’ ahung ti.
"And the slave said, ‘My master, your orders have been carried out, but yet there is room.’
23 Hijeh chun apakai pan aseiyin, ‘Chedoh in lang lamlen pam lah dung chule aning kah lah'a um koi hijong leh, namu mu hinkouvin, ka-in mi adim nadingin’ ati.
"Said the master to his slave. ‘Go out into the roads and the hedges, and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 Ajeh chu kakou masat ho chun golvah an chu aneokhat jong atekhah lou diu ahitai,” ati.
"‘For I tell you that not one of those invited guests shall taste my supper.’"
25 Mihonpi tamtah chun Yeshua nung ajuiyu ahin, ama akihei kol'in ajah'uva aseitai,
Great crowds were along with him, and he turned to them and said.
26 “Nangho kaseijui nahi nom uleh, mijouse nahot ngaiyu ahi, tekah nan–nanu napa, naji nachate, nasopi ho, nangma hinkho tah jong, achuti louleh kaseijui nahithei lou diu ahi.”
"If any one comes to me and does not hate father and his mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters, yes, and his own very life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.
27 Chule na thingpel nakipoh'a kanung najui lou leh, kaseijui nahithei lou diu ahi.
"Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me, cannot be a disciple of mine.
28 Ahivangin kipan hih'un athoh hah ding dan nasimtoh masang'un. Ijeh inem itile, kon insah apat ding ham amasa'a alutding jat vetoh'a, ajona dinga sum ninglhing ding hinam ti simtoh masalouva?
"Which of you who is desirous of building a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, to see if he has the means to complete it?
29 Achuti loule akhombul bou najoa sum nabei maithei ahi, chuteng chuleh mijousen nanuisat bepding ahitai.
"Lest it happen that after he has laid the foundations and is unable to complete it, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him saying,
30 Amahon seiyunte, “Hiche pa khu ahi, insah kipan'a aban ajona ding boldoh joulou pa khu” tiuvinte.
"‘This fellow began to build and could not finish.’
31 “Ahilouleh, Leng khat galbol ding, koi athumop them hotoh toukhom'a, asepai sang som chun ama nokhum dinga hung kon sang som ni chu ajoding hinam ti kigel masalou ding'ah?
"Or what king as he goes forth to join battle with another king in war does not sit down first and deliberate whether he can meet with ten thousand men the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand?
32 Chuleh ajolou ding leh, palai sol'in tin, agalmi ho gamlat pet'a chu kihoucham ding agot tei ding ahi.
"If he cannot, while the other king is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy to ask conditions of peace.
33 Hijeh a chu nanei jouse napehdoh tokah a kaseijui nahithei lou diu ahi.
"Just so any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
34 “Chi hi asu-al dingin aphai. Ahin, a-al na chu mansah taleh, iti na-alsah kit ding ham?”
"Salt is good, but if even the salt have lost its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned?
35 A-al lou chi chu leiset a dinga jong chule leithao a dinga jong phachom lou ahi. Paidoh in aumji tai. Koi hileh nakol neichan in ngai hen chule hetthem hen.
"It is fit neither for the land nor the dung-hill; men cast it out. He who has ears to hear let him listen to this!"
