Luka 14
1 Chiengʼ Sabato moro, kane Yesu odhi chiemo e od ja-Farisai moro marahuma, nobedo kane ingʼiye ahinya.
And as He went into the house of one of the chief of the pharisees to eat on the sabbath-day, and they were watching Him,
2 To e nyime kanyo ne nitie ngʼato mane bur okuodo ngʼute maduongʼ.
behold, there was a certain man before Him that had a dropsy.
3 Yesu nopenjo ja-Farisai kod joma olony e chik ni, “En gima owinjore gi chik mondo ochang ngʼato chiengʼ Sabato koso?”
And Jesus spake to the expounders of the law and to the pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath-day?
4 To negilingʼ thi. Eka nokawo ngʼatno, nochange kendo noweye odhi.
but they made no answer. And He took him and healed him, and sent him away:
5 Eka nopenjogi niya, “Ka ngʼato kuomu nigi wuode kata rwadhe to wuodeno kata rwadheno olwar e soko chiengʼ Sabato, donge diywaye igole oko mana gikanyono?”
and said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out even on the sabbath-day?
6 To ne gionge gima digiwachi.
and they were not able to answer Him again to these things.
7 Kane oneno kaka welo yiero kuondegi mag bet moyiedhi, e kar mesa, nogoyonegi ngero kama:
And He spake a parable to those that were invited, observing how they chose the chief seats, saying unto them,
8 “Ka ngʼato oluongou e nyasi mar kisera to kik ibed e kom moyiedhi, nimar dipo ka ngʼato moro mogen moloyoi oluongi bende.
When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not sit down in the uppermost place, least one more honorable than thou be invited by him;
9 Ka en kamano, to ngʼama noluongou ji ariyogi ka, biro wachoni ni, ‘Mi jali komi.’ Kamano eka wiyi nokuodi nyaka inidhi ikaw kom kar bet man chien moloyo.
and he who invited thee and him, should come and say to thee, Give place to this person, and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 To ka oluongi e nyasi moro mar kisera kamoro to bed mana e kom man chien moloyo, mondo ka ngʼat moluongino obiro to obiro wachoni ni, ‘Osiepna, sudi malo nyime kama berni!’ Kamano iniyud luor e nyim welo weteni duto.
But when thou art invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, that, when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then wilt thou have honor before them that sit at table with thee:
11 Nimar ngʼato angʼata matingʼore malo nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
for whosoever exalteth himself shall be humbled, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Eka Yesu nowachone ngʼat mane oluongeno niya, “Ka ichiwo chiemb odiechiengʼ kata chiemb otieno, kik iluong mana osiepeni, oweteni kata wedeni, kata jogwengʼu momew, nimar ka itimo kamano, kamoro giniluongi chiengʼ moro, mi gichuli kar luong mane iluongigono.
He said also to him that had invited Him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor thy rich neighbors; least they invite thee again, and so a return be made thee.
13 To ka iloso nyasi, iluong joma odhier, rangʼonde gi pudhe kod muofni,
But when thou makest a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind; and thou shalt be happy;
14 eka ibiro gwedhoi kata obedo ni ok ginyal chuloi, to nochuli chiengʼ chier mar joma kare.”
because they have not wherewith to requite thee: for a recompense shall be given thee at the resurrection of the just.
15 Ka achiel kuom jogo mane ni kode e mesa nowinjo ma, nowachone Yesu niya, “Ogwedhi ngʼatno mabiro chiemo e nyasi mar pinyruoth Nyasaye.”
And one of those; who sat at table with Him, hearing these things, said unto Him, Happy is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ngʼat moro ne oloso nyasi maduongʼ kendo noluongo welo mangʼeny.
Upon which He said, A certain man made a great supper and invited many;
17 E kinde mar nyasino nooro jatichne mondo onyisi jogo mane oluongi, ‘Biuru, nikech gik moko duto koro oseikore.’
and sent his servant at supper-time to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.
18 “To giduto machalre negichako wacho weche ma ginyisogo wuon nyasi gimomiyo ok ginyal biro. Ngʼat mokwongo nowacho ni, ‘Koro eka asengʼiewo puodho moro, to nyaka adhi mondo anene. Yie ingʼwon-na.’
And they all with one consent began to make excuses; the first said, I have bought a field, and I must go and see it, pray have me excused.
19 “Ngʼat machielo nowacho niya, ‘Koro eka angʼiewo rweth pur moromo jok abich, to adwaro dhi mondo atemgi, yie mondo ingʼwon-na.’
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going to try them, pray have me excused.
20 “Eka Jal machielo bende nowacho niya, ‘Eka aa kendo, omiyo ok anyal biro.’
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 “Jatich noduogo kendo nowacho wechego ni ruodhe. Eka wuon ot nobedo mager kendo nowacho ni jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhi mapiyo e yore madongo kod yore matindo mag dala mondo ikel joma odhier gi rangʼonde, muofni kod pudhe.’
So the servant came and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go directly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
22 “Jatich nowacho ni, ‘Jaduongʼ gima nende ichikowa osetim, to pod thuolo nitie.’
And the servant said, Sir, it is done according to thine order, and still there is room.
23 “Eka jaduongʼ nowachone jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhiyo oko e akek yore makalo e kind mier kendo luong ji duto mondo gidonji, eka oda opongʼ.
And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the high-ways and hedges, and press them to come in, that my house may be filled:
24 Awachonu ni, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuom jogo mane oluongi manobil chiemba.’”
for I tell you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste of my supper.
25 Ji mangʼeny ne wuotho kod Yesu, eka nolokore irgi mowachonegi niya,
Now there were great multitudes going along with Him:
26 “Ka ngʼato obiro ira, to ok okwedo wuon-gi kod min-gi kod chiege gi nyithinde, owetene gi nyiminene ee, kata ngimane owuon ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
so he turned and said to them, If any man come to me, and does not comparatively hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Kendo ngʼato angʼata ma ok otingʼo msalape mondo oluwa ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and follow me, cannot be my disciple.
28 “Ka dibed ni achiel kuomu dwaro gero ot. Donge obiro bedo piny mokwongo mondo okwan nengone mondo one ka en gi pesa moromo mar tieke?
For who of you that hath a mind to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expence, whether he hath wherewithal to perfect it?
29 Nimar ka oketo mise to ok onyal tieke, ji duto manene biro nyiere,
least having laid a foundation and not being able to finish,
30 kagiwacho ni, ‘Jali nochako gedo to ok onyal tieko.’
all that see it, should deride him, saying, this man began to build and was not able to finish.
31 “Kata ka dibed ni ruoth moro dwaro dhiyo e lweny e kinde gi ruoth machielo. Donge mokwongo onego obed piny mondo opar anena ka ji alufu apar ma en-go bende onyalo kedogo gi jal mabiro monje man-gi ji alufu piero ariyo?
Or what king, going to engage with another king in battle, doth not sit down first and consult, whether he be able with ten thousand men to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Ka ok donyal, to obiro oro joote ka pod jal machielo pod ni kuma bor, mondo onyise ni odwaro mondo giwinjre e yor kwe.
and if not, while he is yet far off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 Machalre kamano bende, ngʼato kuomu ma ok oweyo gige duto ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
So, every one of you, that doth not give up all that he hath, cannot be my disciple.
34 “Chumbi ber, to ka ndhathe orumo, ere kaka dimiye obed gi ndhathe kendo?
Salt is good; but if the salt have lost it's savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 Ok owinjore ne tich lowo kata mana pidh owuoyo, omiyo ipuke oko. “Ngʼat man-gi it mar winjo wach mondo owinji.”
it is neither fit for the land, nor for the dunghil; but they throw it away. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
