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.
Chiengʼ Sabato moro, kane Yesu odhi chiemo e od ja-Farisai moro marahuma, nobedo kane ingʼiye ahinya.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
To e nyime kanyo ne nitie ngʼato mane bur okuodo ngʼute maduongʼ.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Yesu nopenjo ja-Farisai kod joma olony e chik ni, “En gima owinjore gi chik mondo ochang ngʼato chiengʼ Sabato koso?”
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
To negilingʼ thi. Eka nokawo ngʼatno, nochange kendo noweye odhi.
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?”
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?”
6 They could not answer him regarding these things.
To ne gionge gima digiwachi.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Kane oneno kaka welo yiero kuondegi mag bet moyiedhi, e kar mesa, nogoyonegi ngero kama:
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,
“Ka ngʼato oluongou e nyasi mar kisera to kik ibed e kom moyiedhi, nimar dipo ka ngʼato moro mogen moloyoi oluongi bende.
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.
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.
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.
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.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Nimar ngʼato angʼata matingʼore malo nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
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.
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.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
To ka iloso nyasi, iluong joma odhier, rangʼonde gi pudhe kod muofni,
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.”
eka ibiro gwedhoi kata obedo ni ok ginyal chuloi, to nochuli chiengʼ chier mar joma kare.”
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!”
Ka achiel kuom jogo mane ni kode e mesa nowinjo ma, nowachone Yesu niya, “Ogwedhi ngʼatno mabiro chiemo e nyasi mar pinyruoth Nyasaye.”
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ngʼat moro ne oloso nyasi maduongʼ kendo noluongo welo mangʼeny.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
E kinde mar nyasino nooro jatichne mondo onyisi jogo mane oluongi, ‘Biuru, nikech gik moko duto koro oseikore.’
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.’
“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.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
“Ngʼat machielo nowacho niya, ‘Koro eka angʼiewo rweth pur moromo jok abich, to adwaro dhi mondo atemgi, yie mondo ingʼwon-na.’
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
“Eka Jal machielo bende nowacho niya, ‘Eka aa kendo, omiyo ok anyal biro.’
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.’
“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.’
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
“Jatich nowacho ni, ‘Jaduongʼ gima nende ichikowa osetim, to pod thuolo nitie.’
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.
“Eka jaduongʼ nowachone jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhiyo oko e akek yore makalo e kind mier kendo luong ji duto mondo gidonji, eka oda opongʼ.
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.’”
Awachonu ni, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuom jogo mane oluongi manobil chiemba.’”
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Ji mangʼeny ne wuotho kod Yesu, eka nolokore irgi mowachonegi niya,
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.
“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.
27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Kendo ngʼato angʼata ma ok otingʼo msalape mondo oluwa ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
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?
“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?
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Nimar ka oketo mise to ok onyal tieke, ji duto manene biro nyiere,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
kagiwacho ni, ‘Jali nochako gedo to ok onyal tieko.’
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?
“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?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
Ka ok donyal, to obiro oro joote ka pod jal machielo pod ni kuma bor, mondo onyise ni odwaro mondo giwinjre e yor kwe.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
Machalre kamano bende, ngʼato kuomu ma ok oweyo gige duto ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
“Chumbi ber, to ka ndhathe orumo, ere kaka dimiye obed gi ndhathe kendo?
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.”
Ok owinjore ne tich lowo kata mana pidh owuoyo, omiyo ipuke oko. “Ngʼat man-gi it mar winjo wach mondo owinji.”
