Luka 14
1 Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila limo, Che Yesu ŵajawile kukulya chakulya mu nyuumba ja jumo jwa achakulu ŵa Mafalisayo ni ŵandu ŵaŵaliji pelepo ŵaliji nkwalolechesya.
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 Ni mmbujo mwa Che Yesu paliji ni mundu jumo juŵaliji ni chilwele cha kuimbangana chiilu.
And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
3 Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga che Musa ni Mafalisayo kuti, “Ana Malajisyo gakutusaka kunnamya mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila pane ngwamba?”
Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
4 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵamyalele. Che Yesu ŵankamwile jwakulwala jo ni kunnamya ni ŵannesile ajaule.
And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
5 Nipele ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “Ana jwapi jwa ŵanyamwe iŵaga mwanagwe pane ng'ombe jakwe jagwililaga mu chisima ngakujityosya papopo atamuno liŵeje Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
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 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵalepele kwanga.
And they could not answere him againe to those things.
7 Che Yesu ŵaweni uŵaŵilanjikwe ŵala yatiteje pakulisagulila pakutama pakuchimbichikwa, nipele ŵaajigenye kwa chitagu chi,
He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
8 “Iŵaga chammilanje mundu kuchindimba cha ulombela, nkatama mmbujo pakuchimbichikwa, panepa apali jwaŵilanjikwe jwine jwakuchimbichikwa kumpunda mmwe.
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 Jwambilasile mmwe ni njenu jo chaiche ni kunsalila, ‘Mwalechele aŵa pele peuto pao.’ Pelepo chinkole soni pa ŵandu ni kutanda kusejela ni kutama mu itengu yangachimbichikwa.
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 Nambo ŵannalikaga ku chindimba, njaule nkatame peuto pangachimbichikwa kuti pachaiche jwambilasile jo ansalile, ‘Ambusanga, nsejelele pambone nnope pa.’ Pelepo chinchimbichikwe mmbujo mwa wose ŵatemi pampepe nomwe.
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 Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakulikusya, chatuluswe ni jwakulitulusya, chakuswe.”
For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
12 Nipele ŵansalile juŵanŵilasile jo, “Iŵaga chimwakolochesye ŵandu chakulya cha muusi pane ligulo, ngasimwaŵilanga achambusanga ŵenu atamuno achapwenu atamuno achalongo ajenu atamuno ŵapachiŵandi penu atamuno ŵakusichila ajenu ngakaŵa nombewo chachimbilanga ni kumbuchisya mpela chimwaakolochesye chila.
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 Nambo pankukulumisya chakulya cha chindimba, mwaŵilanje ŵandu ŵakulaga ni ŵakulemala ni ŵangajenda ni ŵangalola,
But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
14 nomwe chinkole upile, pakuŵa ŵanyawo ngaakola chakumbuchisya mmwejo. Akunnungu champe ntulilo wenu katema pachachasyusya ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.”
And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
15 Jumo jwao jwa ŵaŵatemi pamo ni Che Yesu ŵatite, “Jwana upile jwele mundu juchaakalye mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
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 Nipele Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Jwapali mundu juŵakulumisye chakulya cha chindimba chachikulungwa ni ŵaaŵilasile ŵandu ŵajinji.
Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
17 Pajaiche ndaŵi ja chakulya ŵannajisye kapolo jwao kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵaŵaŵilanjikwe wo, ‘Njisangane, pakuŵa indu yose ili chile.’
And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
18 Nambo wose ŵatandite kuŵalanga ligongo lya kulepela kwika. Jwandanda ŵansalile kapolo jo, ‘Sumile ngunda, ngusachilwa nyaule kukuulola, ngunchondelela mulechelesye.’
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 Jwine ni ŵatite, ‘Sumile ng'ombe likumi sya kulima, sambano ndili mwitala ngwaula kukusilinjila, ngunchondelela mulechelesye.’
And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
20 Ni jwine ŵatite, ‘Nombele moŵa gagaga, nipele ngangukombola kwika.’
And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
21 “Jwele kapolojo ŵausile ni kwasalila ambujegwe yeleyo. Pelepo nsyene nyuumba jo ŵatumbile, ni kunsalila kapolo jwao kuti, ‘Njaule chitema mmatala gamakulungwa ni matala gamanandi ga musi, nkaichenawo amuno ŵakulaga ni ŵangajenda ni ŵangalola ni ŵalemele.’
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 Kanyuma kakwe kapolo jo ŵatite, ‘Ambuje, chimwalajichisye chila chemale kutendekwe mpela imwatite kuunajichisya nambo lisigalile liuto.’
And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
23 Nipele ambuje ŵala ŵansalile kapolo kuti, ‘Njaule mmatala gamakulungwa ni mmatala gamanandi ga musi ni kwakanganyichisya ŵandu kwinjila kuti, nyuumba jangu jigumbale.
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 Pakuŵa, ngunsalila kuti ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵandu ŵaŵalalichikwe kundanda ŵala juchapasye chakulya changu cha chindimba.’”
For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
25 Pelepo, mipingo jejinji ja ŵandu ŵaliji nkulongana nawo Che Yesu. Nipele Che Yesu ŵagalauchilile ŵandu ni kwasalila,
Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
26 “Yaŵaga kwana mundu jwakwika kukwangu akusachilwa kaje kunonyela une kupunda yakuti kwanonyela atatigwe ni achikulugwe ni ŵankwawo ni achiŵanagwe ni achapwakwe ni achalumbugwe, eloo ni yakuti kulinonyela nsyene, naga ngakutenda yele ngakukombola kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu.
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 Ni jwalijose jwangakulijigalila nsalaba wakwe nsyene ni kunguya ngakukombola kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu.
And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
28 “Pakuŵa, ana ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe asakaga kutaŵa nyuumba jeleu, jwangatama kaje ni kuŵalanga ndalama jakwe pakuti alole iŵaga akwete ipanje yakombola kumalichisya?
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 Pakuŵa amalaga kutaŵa nsingi ni kulepela kumalichisya kutaŵa nyuumba jeleu jo, ŵandu wose ŵakwilola chatande kunseka
Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
30 achitiji, ‘Aju mundu ju ŵatandite kutaŵa nambo alepele kumalichisya.’
Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
31 “Pane, mwenye chi jwakwaula kukumenyana ni mwenye jwine, jwangakutama kaje ni kuganisya kuti ŵandu ŵakwe ŵangondo mianda likumi chakombole kumenyana ni ŵandu ŵangondo mianda makumi gaŵili wa mwenye jwakwika?
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 Ni amanyililaga kuti ngakombola, chachalajisya ŵantenga ŵao kuti ajaule kukuusya yati pakwikanacho chitendewele, kele katema ko jwele mwenye jwine jo ali kwakutalichila.
Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
33 Iyoyo peyo, ngapagwa jwalijose jwa ŵanyamwe juchaŵe jwakulijiganya jwangu iŵaga ngaileka yose yakwete yo.
So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 “Njete jili jambone, nambo njete jasoyesyaga unonye wakwe chintaje chichi kuti unonye wakwe uujile sooni?
Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
35 Ngajikufai kulikose kwa litaka atamuno kwakutenda chajila, ŵandu chajasepe. Jwakwete mapikanilo gakupikanila, apikane!”
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.
