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.
Doonu alu golo Jisu Parisis nyi rigvnvgv akogv naam lo achin dvbv aato; okv nyi vdwv Jisunyi orchok mvla kaayato.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Nyi ako lvpa laak bingla lvvma nvgo Jisu gvlo aato,
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Okv Jisu pvbv tamsarnv vdwa okv Parisis vdwa tvkato, “Ngonugv Pvbv lo doonu alu lo lvvma nvnga mvpu dubv minpvri?”
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Vbvritola bunu ogugoka mimato. Jisu nyi anga naatoku, ninyia mvpu toku, okv ninyia vngmu toku.
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?”
Vbvrikunamv Nw bunua mintoku, “Nonugv lokv akonv kuunyilo go dooto vmalo svvhvpu angv doonu alu lo ungrung golo holwk kubolo, hum no doonu alu lo dorlin maredw?”
6 They could not answer him regarding these things.
Vbvritola bunu so gv lvga nga ogugoka mirwk nyula mato.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Jisu kaapato nyen goknam vdwv dooku alvyachoknv vdwa gakdubv, vkvlvgabv nw so minchisinam sum bunua minjito:
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,
“Vdwlo nonua nyi gonv nyida dvpam lo gokbolo, alvyachoknv dooku lo doomabvka, vbvrinam goka doore nam kaiyanv nyi goka gokpv kuso,
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.
okv nonyi gv atu, nonyia goknv, v aala kula minre, ‘Soogv dooku sam ninyia doomu tvka.’ Vbvrikunamv nonu hinying reku okv dooku alv makulo doodubv rireku.
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.
Ho mabvdv, vdwlo nonua gokpv kudw, vnglaka okv koching yachok dooku lo doolaka, vkvlvgabv nonua goknv atu v nonu gvlo aala minre, ‘Ngoogv ajin a, dooku alvku so, chaatoka.’ Svbvrinam si nonua dvbvnyi goknam vdwgv kaagialo mvngdv modu.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Yvv mvnwng v atu v kainvgobv mvngsu dvdw hum miang more okv yvv mvnwngngv atu v miang nvgobv mvngsu dvdw hum kai dubv mvre.”
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.
Vbvrikunamv Jisu ninyia goknv atua minto, “Vdwlo no alu dvnam vmalo arium dvnam go jirinyi, no noogv ajin a vmalo noogv abwngboru a vmalo noogv agungasa nga vmalo noogv namrwk doobam nyitvnv vdwa gokmabvka bunu nonua gokrwk sireku, okv vbvrila noogv ogu rinam dvdvgv rijo nga no paaro riku.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Vdwlo nonu dvpam go dvmu tvdudw, heemanv vdwa, pookungnv vdwa, lvpiknv vdwa, okv nyikchingnv vdwa goklaka;
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.”
Okv no aya choknam gubv rire, ogulvgavbolo bunu nonua rirwk sinyu kumare. Pwknvyarnv nonua rirwk jireku vdwlo alvnv nyi vdwgv sinam lokv turkur rikunyi.”
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!”
Vdwlo tvbul doodungnv nyi akonv hum tvvpa tokudw nw Jisunyi minto, “Vdwgo mvngpu v yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv Karv lo dvpam lo doolwknv!”
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Jisu ninyia minto, “Ho hoka nyi ako dooto nw kainv dvpam go dvmu dubv nyi achialvbv gokto.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Vdwlo dvpam dw hv aato kudw, nw ninyigv pakbua kanamla vngmuto ninyigv nyen vdwa minpa modubv vla, ‘Ogu mvnwngngv mvpvripv pvku, aakum tokuka!’
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.’
Vbvritola bunu mvnwngngv mvngnga labv vla minrap nyatoku. Atuk gv nyi angv pakbua minto, ‘Vjakpi rongo go rvvtobv okv um vngla kaadu bv ripv; ayala ngoogv minam sum tvji labv.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
Nyi akonv minto, ‘Ngo hvpu dorring go rvvtobv okv ngo hum rikala lamtvlo lingv segorung; ayala ngoogv minam sum tvji rungla bv.’
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
Nyi akonv minto, ‘Ngo vjakpi nyimv naada pvnv, ho lvga lo ngo aala nyuma.’
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.’
Pakbu angv vngkur toku okv ogumvnwngnga ninyigv Atua minpa jitoku. Atu angv achialvbv hachiv kvchakbvriak toku okv ninyigv pakbu nga mintoku, ‘Baapu bv banggu arwnglo okv banggu gv chenyung lo vngnyika, okv heemanv vdwa, pookungnv vdwa, nyikchingnv vdwa, okv lvpiknv vdwa aakur gvteka.
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Pakbu angv baapubv minto, no gv gamki nama rito kubv, tamsarnv, vbvritola karchung ngv nyi megonvgv lvgabv doodvpv.’
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.
Vkvlvgabv Atu v pakbua minto, ‘mookugv lamtvbv vnglin nyika okv nyi vdwa arwng lo aadu bv mvtoka, vkvlvgabv ngoogv naam lo yarbing dukubv.
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.’”
Ngo nonu mvnwngnga mindunv so nyi tamnam vdw sokv yvvka ngoogv arium dvnam a dvpa kumare!’”
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Lvko nyipam kainvgo Jisunyi lvkobv vngming gvrilo, nw dakrwkla bunua minto,
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.
“Yvvdw ngoogvlo aadunv ngoogv lvbwlaksu gubv rinyumare vdwlo nw ninyigv Abu okv ninyigv anv, ninyigv nywng okv ninyigv kuu vdwa, ninyigv achiboru okv ninyigv anyibormv, okv nw atubongv alvrungbv paknama lvyabv nga pakma dvdvlo.
27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Yvvdw atu ninyigv daapo nga bakma dunv okv nga vngming gvma dunv hv ngoogv lvbwlaksu gubv rinyu mare.
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?
Nonu gvlokv akonv naam aokolo nvgo mvdubv rungbolo, nw atukchobv doopv tvla okv vkamgu arv ngv ritv rinv bri nw um morko v um rinya nvnv go doodudw kaaka chori.
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Nw dooku mabolo, naam a mvrapro kochingbv nw vdwloka mvnya nyuku mare; okv ogugo ripvdw nyi kaanv mvnwngngv ninyia nyarji reku.
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
Bunu minreku, ‘So nyi si naam a mvdubv mvrap toku vbvritola mvnya nyukuma.’
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?
Dvbv gonv hejar vring nyiga go vnglingvla dvbv hejar chamnyi doonvgo mvmi sidubv riku bolo, nw atokchobv doopv tvla japka riku dvbv nga mvmi sinyu redw ma mvmi sinyu maridw vla.
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
Nw choopu kuma bolo, nw gindungpingko go vngmure dvbv anga kaarwk sidu kubv okv sarsopoyo lvgabv tvvka siya dukubv ninyigv adu lo vngdungla vngngo lvpa rikulo.”
33 So therefore, whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
“Ho apiabv,” Jisu minyabv minto, “Nonu lokv yvvka ngoogv lvbwlaksu gobv rinyu mare vdwlo nonuno nonugv ogumvnwngnga kayu maredw.”
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
“Alu v alv nvgo, vbvritola si tinam a ngemu kubolo, hum lvkodv tidukubv mvjiku lamtv kaakuma.
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.”
So si kvdw gv lvgabv alv kuma vmalo eriung gvbvka alvkuma; hum adulo ora duku. Tvvtoka, vbvrikunamv, nonuno nyarung gvdubolo!”
