Luke 14

1 And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, 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 And a certain man was there who had a disease.

se ga ndi “U” lilo huk kpa.

3 And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

Yesu ya da mye bihan vuvu baba Farisawa, abi du ba chu lilo rju ni chachu sati ko an an?

4 But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.

U ba sun ngbangbi, Yesu ka vu ni wo lunde da chu lilo rju niwu, da du hi kpama.

5 And he said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

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 And they had no answer to that question.

Bana kasa niwu na.

7 And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying 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 get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

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 then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

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 come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

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 every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

Indji wa a nzu tuma, baka ka tuma grji, wu wa u katu me grji, ba nzutu me hi shu.

12 And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

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 give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:

Ba tie lulu yo don bana ban ni wu na,

14 And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

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 And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

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 And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

Yesu woh da tre ndi ndji ri atie gan rigra ma nda yo ndji gbugbu-u.

17 And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready.

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 And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

Wa wu bawu, bana yena, u mumla a tre ndi wawu le rju, wawu ni bi toh wru hle ni mu.

19 And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

U na tre wawu le lando bi zran ton, mi yi tsra ba toh, mi bre wu, du wru hle ni mu.

20 And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come.

U tra a tre ndi wawu gran wa, naki mina ye na.

21 And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

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 And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room.

Vren koh a tre, iti koh, ikpie wa u tre a kle hra zizan bubu a na shu na.

23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full.

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 say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.

Mi hla ni yiwu, biwa mi you ba ni mumla ba na ye kpe ni iye u muna

25 Now a great number of people went with him.

Basi zren ndji gbugbu basi hu, wa hla ni bawu,

26 And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not 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 take up his cross and come after me may not 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 put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

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 For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,

Inde a zi nchi koh'a, kana kle meh na, u biwa ba meh baba ba ka nza'u,

30 And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.

Ba ta tre toh ndji ani son meh koh, ana ya meh kle na.

31 Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off 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 while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting conditions of peace.

To inde an ya na, ka wa sun si ni chu rima.

33 And so whoever is not ready to give up all he has may not 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 For salt is good, but if the taste goes from it, of what use is it?

Ima a kpie ndindima, inde imma a sa ba mla tie ni ni ngyen?

35 It is no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.

Ana labi gana, sei baka ka hlega, ka kma tie toki ni meme, ndji wa ahe ni ton ka wo.
