Luke 14
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
Ni vi u chachu sati ri, wa a ri ni koh bi ninkon Farisawa ri du rhi biri, ndji ba sru shishi ni wu.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
se ga ndi “U” lilo huk kpa.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Yesu ya da mye bihan vuvu baba Farisawa, abi du ba chu lilo rju ni chachu sati ko an an?
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
U ba sun ngbangbi, Yesu ka vu ni wo lunde da chu lilo rju niwu, da du hi kpama.
5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
Yesu mye ba, ahi nha ni mi-mbi, inde vren ma, ko napron ma aku ni juju ni chachu sati, wa ana chu na?
6 They could not answer him regarding these things.
Bana kasa niwu na.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Da Yesu si ya ba da toh bi wa ba you ba ye, ba wa bubu sun bi ni koh, watre kayiyi, nda tre.
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
Inde ba you hi ni bubu gan u gran na kuson ni bubu bi ninkon na, ani yiwu ba you ndi wa a zawu.
9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
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.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
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.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Indji wa a nzu tuma, baka ka tuma grji, wu wa u katu me grji, ba nzutu me hi shu.
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
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.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Ba tie lulu yo don bana ban ni wu na,
14 and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
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.
15 When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
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.
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Yesu woh da tre ndi ndji ri atie gan rigra ma nda yo ndji gbugbu-u.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Da inton wu gan a tie, wa a ton ivren koh ma du hi hla ni bawu du ba ye, biri a we ye.
18 They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
Wa wu bawu, bana yena, u mumla a tre ndi wawu le rju, wawu ni bi toh wru hle ni mu.
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
U na tre wawu le lando bi zran ton, mi yi tsra ba toh, mi bre wu, du wru hle ni mu.
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
U tra a tre ndi wawu gran wa, naki mina ye na.
21 “That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
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.
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Vren koh a tre, iti koh, ikpie wa u tre a kle hra zizan bubu a na shu na.
23 “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
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.
24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
Mi hla ni yiwu, biwa mi you ba ni mumla ba na ye kpe ni iye u muna
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Basi zren ndji gbugbu basi hu, wa hla ni bawu,
26 “If anyone comes to me, and does not disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
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.
27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Indji wa ana he ni suron u ban giciye nda ye hu me na, ana ya son u vren koh mu na.
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
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.
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Inde a zi nchi koh'a, kana kle meh na, u biwa ba meh baba ba ka nza'u,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
Ba ta tre toh ndji ani son meh koh, ana ya meh kle na.
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
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.
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
To inde an ya na, ka wa sun si ni chu rima.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
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.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
Ima a kpie ndindima, inde imma a sa ba mla tie ni ni ngyen?
35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Ana labi gana, sei baka ka hlega, ka kma tie toki ni meme, ndji wa ahe ni ton ka wo.
