Luke 14
1 One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
Mi fuodima daali danyenli Jesu den kua Falisieninba yudaano yendo yua n den yini o o deni ki baa je.
2 Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
Yaaba n go den cua ki baa je den kpaagi Jesu. U yianpiebiko daano den ka o nintuali.
3 So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
Jesu den maadi leni li balimaama bangikaciamo leni Falisieninba yaaba n ye li kani ki yedi ba: “Naani li pia sanu ki paagi o nilo mi fuodima daali bi, bi laa pia yo?”
4 But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
Bi den ŋmini suo. Jesu den tandi o nuu ki mubini o yiamo yeni ki paagi o ki cabi o.
5 And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
Lani o den yedi ba: “Yi siiga ŋme ya bijua, yaaka o nua, ya baa li caali nni mi fuodima daali, o kan jaligi ki dadi ki ñani o?”
6 And they were unable to answer these questions.
Baa den fidi ki guani o laa maama po liba.
7 When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
Jesu den laa ke Falisieni yeni n yini yaaba ban cua ki je yeni lingi ya kalikaani n pia ti kpiagidi ki cie, o den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi:
8 “When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
“O nilo ya yini a mi pocaajiema po, ŋan da gedi ki kali ya kaanu n kpiagi ki cie, lani n tie wan yini yaaba siiga n da ti pia yua ya jigidi n cie a yaadi,
9 Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.
ke yua n yini fini leni wani kuli ya cua, wan da ti yedi a: 'Teni one u kaanu.' Lani i fe baa cuo ŋa leni ŋan baa goa ki ban kali puoli po.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.
Ama bi ya yini a ke a pundi, ŋan ban kali puoli po ya kalikaanu. A ya tieni yeni yua n yini a ya ti cua o baa yedi a: 'N danli, cua ki kali ya kaanu n cie.' Lani li baa tua apo ti kpiagidi wan yini a yaaba kuli nintuali.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo U Tienu baa fiini o.”
12 Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
Jesu go den maadi leni yua n yini o ki yedi o: “A ya yini bi niba ban cua ki je a deni, mi yensiijiema yaaka mi yenjuajiema, ŋan da yini a danlinba, yaaka a kpeliba leni a waamu yaaka yaaba n li kpi leni a kuli, yaaka a yieninlieba siiga yaaba n tie a piada, ke ban da ti goa ki mon yini a ki guani a a ŋanma.
13 But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
A ya baa yini bi niba mi jaanjiema po, ŋan yini a luoda leni a tadima leni a waba leni a juama.
14 and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
Lanwani U Tienu baa ŋanbi apo kelima bani wani kan fidi ki guani a a ŋanma. U Tienu ya ti fiini yaaba n tiendi wan bili yaala bi tinkpiba siiga, o baa guani a ma.”
15 When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
Yaaba n den ye u saajekaanu kani yendo n den gbadi laa maama, o den yedi Jesu: “Li pamanli ye leni yua n baa ba ki je U Tienu diema nni.”
16 But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “O nilo den ŋanbi mi jecianma ki yini bi niba boncianla.
17 When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
Mi jiema yogunu n pundi, o den soani o naacemo n ban yedi wan yini yaaba: 'Cua mani na kelima li bonla kuli ŋanbi ki gbeni no.”
18 But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
Ama bi kuli yendo yendo den mia sugili. O nikpialo den yedi o naacemo: 'N daa u kuanu, kali min gedi ki ban la u, ŋan mia npo sugili.'
19 Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
One mo den yedi: 'N da naakpakpaadi piiga, n caa ki baan biigi ba, ŋan mia npo sugili.'
20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’
Toa moko den tedi: 'N da taa n pua moala na, lani yaapo n kan fidi ki gedi.'
21 The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
O naacemo den lebidi ki guani o canbaa kani ki waani o li kuli. Lani o diedaano yeni pali den beni, ke o yedi o naacemo: 'Kua u dogu daamu nni leni u sanu nni ki cuani a luoda leni a tadima leni a juama leni a waba na.'
22 ‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
Lan yen waamu o naacemo den goa ki yedi o: 'Canbaa, n tieni ŋan bi puogi nni yaala, ama u kaanu go sieni.'
23 So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
Lani canbaa den goa ki yedi o: 'Ña u dogu nni ki gedi a sanbila nni leni a naga balinma, ki tigini bi niba ke ban cua ne ke n diegu n gbie.'
24 For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
N yedi yi ke min den kpa yini yaaba yeni, bi siiga baa yendo kan leni n jiema”
25 Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,
A nigola boncianla den yegi leni Jesu o sancenli nni. O den jigidi ki yedi ba:
26 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
“Yua n cua n kani, o yaa yie o baa leni o naa, leni o pua leni o bila, leni o kpeliba leni o waamu, baa o yuceli mo o kan tua n ŋoadikoa.
27 And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.
Yua n ki bugi o dapoanpoanli ki ŋua nni kan fidi ki ya tie n ŋoadikoa.
28 Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
Yi siiga ŋme baa bua ki maa ki maa li diefoagili ki kan kpa kali ki bandi wan baa biani yaala, ki le o ya pia ya ligi n baa dagidi wan gbeni.
29 Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
O yaa tieni yeni, o ya pu li tanpuuli ki naa fidi ki juodi. Yaaba n baa le kuli baa ñuadi o ki yedi:
30 saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
'O jao na cili li diemaali ki naa fidi ki juodi.'
31 Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
Bi o laa bado n baa ye ki bua ki tuogi bu toabu ki bua ki tuogi leni baditoa ki nan pia toatieba tudapiiga, naani waa ba kpa kali ki biigi o yaa fidi ki biigi o ya baa fidi ki tuogi leni yua n kpendi o kani ki pia toatieba tudapiilie?
32 And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
O ya sua ke o kan fidi, o baa soani o tondiba hali ke yibalo daa ye foagima, ki mia o wan waani o wan bua yaala, ban mangi leni bi yaba.
33 In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
Li tie yeni, yi siiga yua n ŋa wan pia yaala kuli kan tua n ŋoadikoa.
34 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
Mi yaama tie ya bonla n mani, ama maa luo mi manu, bi baa taa be ki go mangi ma?
35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Maa pia mayuli ki tinga po, maa go pia mayuli ti bugidi po, kali ban lu ma bebe. Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi wan gbadi.”
