Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that they were watching him.
lulyahumile ikighono ikya Sabati. yeiluta kukaja ja jumo juno aale n'gooyo ghwa Vafalisayi kulia un'kate, vope vakale vivaanda pipi na pipi.
2 And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.
pavulongolo pa mwene pwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ni nhaamu ja kufimba.
3 And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
uYesu akavaposia avaagula ndaghilo isa vayahudi na vafarisayi. “ndaani, lunono kusosia umuunhu pakighono kya Sabaati, asi vuli?”
4 But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.
neke avene vakava kimie, pe, uYesu akan'koola. akan'sosia na pikun'tavula alutaghe.
5 And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?
ghwope akavavuula akati,” ghweveni mukipugha kiinu juno ali nu mwana nambe ing'ombe jingaghwilile muliina ku kighono kya Sabati naikujisuuvula ng'hani ng'hani?”
6 And they were not able to answer him to these things.
aveene valyale vasila ngufu isakwamula ghano ghano vavaposisie.
7 And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,
un'siki ghuno uYesu alyakagwile kwiti vala vano valyaghogholilue kwiti vasalwile ifitengo vwoghopua. avavula ikihwani akati, “
8 When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,
ye mughongolua nu muunhu uya vutolani, nungikalaghe mufitengo fya vavaha. ulwakuva nukagwile kuti,
9 and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.
pano aghongolilue umuunhu juno ghwe mwoghopua kyongo kukila uve. un'siki ghughuo umuunhu juno avaghongolile
10 But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;
neke uve ungaghongolue, usalulaghe uvukalo vwa kuvusililo, kuvaanga neke kyande ikwiisa juno akungongolile ghwemwene atisaghe uve manyani, kila ghukale kuvulongolo. apuo ghuuva mwoghopua ku vano valipalikimo nuuve pamesa.
11 for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.
ulwakuva juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamwisia, juno ikujisia ghwe ighinisivua.
12 And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.
Yesu kange akam'bula umuunhu juno umughongolile, 'pano ghukumpela ikyakulia kya pamwisi nambe ikya pakivwilile, ulekaghe pighongola avamanyani vaako nambe avanyalukolo vaako, nambe avanyakisina vaako, nambe avabading'hani vaako avamofu neke kwiiti avene valeke pikukughongola uve uhombe.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:
neke lino pano ghuvomba ikikulukulu, vaghongolaghe avamofu, avalema, na vavoofu,
14 and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.
najuve ghufunyua, ulwakuva naviwesia kuhomba. ulwakuva ghuhombua muvusyukua vwa vanya kyang'haani.
15 And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
un'siki huno jumonga mu vala vano vakikalile pamesa palikimo nu Yesu ati apulike aghuo, ghwope akavavula akati,” afunyilue jula juno ilia un'kate mu vutwa vwa Nguluve”.
16 And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.
neke uYesu akavavula akati,” umuunhu jumonga akavombile ikikulukulu ikikome, akaghongola avaanhu vinga,
17 And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.
un'siki ghuno ikikulukulu kifikile, akansung'ile um'bombi ghwake kukuvavula vano avaghongolilue, 'mwise, ulwakuva ifinu fyoni fivikilue tayale
18 And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.
vooni vakatengula kukunsuuma avasungukile ughwa kwanda akati 'nighulile umughunda nilonda nilute nikaghulole. sivuo usaghile,
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.
ghwope ujunga akati, 'nighulile ing'ombe ihaano najune nilute kughela. sivuo usaghile.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.
na ju muunhu ujunge akati, 'nihumile pitoola un'dala pe lino naniwesia pikwisa.
21 And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.
um'bombi akagomoka na kukum'bula um'baha ghwake aghuo. unyanyumba jula akakalile akam'bula um'bombi ghwake,' luta ng'hani ng'hani mumpulo na mufisila fino filuta mufikaaja fya vaanhu ukavalete apa avakotofu, avalema. vano navilola na vabofu”.
22 And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.
um'bombi ghwake akati, ntwa aghuo ghano unilaghisie ghavombike, nambe lino ikyakulia kisighiile.
23 And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;
untwa akam'bula um'bombi akati, luta kusila ijansevo na mufisila fino filuta mumakaaja gha vaanhu ukavapelepesie avaanhu vingile neke inyumba jango jimeme.
24 for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
ulwakuva nikuvavula, mu vala vano vaghongolilue ulwa kwanda nakwale juno ilivonja ikikulukulu kyango.
25 And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,
lino ulukong'ano ulukume valyale viluta naghwo. ghwope akadyetuka akavavula kuuti,
26 If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;
ndeve umuunhu ikwisa kulyune ghwope naikunkalalila ubaba ghwa ghwake, ungiina ghwake, avaanha vaake, avanyalukolo vaake avaghosi na vadala Ena, na vu vwumi vwake kange navuwesia kuva vavulanisivua vango.
27 and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
umuunhu nave naitoola ikikovekano kyake na kukwisa kunsana jango naiwesia kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.
28 For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;
ulwakuva ghwe veni mu lyumue, juno ilonda kujenga kujenga aikela kutengula kiisatala iling'hanie taasi alole indalama neke alole kukughenia aghuo.
29 in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,
nave naiovomba aghuo neke kyande ijenga uvwalo angakunue pimalisia. vooni vano vilola vitengula piseka,
30 saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?
vitisagha, umuunhu uju akatengwile kujenga, akunilue kumalikisia.
31 Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?
neke ghwe Ntwa muki, jno ilonda kuluta kutovana nu Ntwa ujunge mu vwiite, juno naikukala paasi taasi neke asaghe nave akwiline kutovana, palikimo na vaanhu imbilima kijigho kimo kutovana nu junge juno ikwisa kwa mwene na vaanhu imbilima fijigho fivili?
32 and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.
ndeve evuo ililugu lya vange pano lijighe lilikuvutali, likunsung'a untwa kusuuma ulwiho lya lutengano.
33 Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.
kwekuti lino, juno nailonda kukufleka fyooni fino alinafyo. nangawesie kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.
34 Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
umwinyo nnono, neke nave ghunangike ghuvombela kiki neke ghuve mwinyo kange?
35 It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
naghuva mwinyo ghwa kulunga nambe kuva mbolela. kange kutaghua kuvutali. umwene unya mbughulutu aghakupulika na apulikaghe”.
