Luke 14
1 One Sabbath Jesus went to have a meal at the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees where they watched him closely.
Aeipumie luhiku lakumukulya, naulongoe munyumba ang'wi ao nuatongeli a Mafarisayo kulya mukate, neenso akumugoza kwa pakupe.
2 A man was there whose arms and legs were swollen.
Goza, pantongelakwe aukole muntu nuanso aukagigwa nuuimbwa.
3 So Jesus asked the experts in religious law and the Pharisees, “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath, or not?”
U Yesu wakaakolya eamanyi kupuma milago la Ayahudi ne Mafarisayo, “Ite izane kumukomya umuntu uluhiku lakukulya, anga singauu?”
4 But they kept quiet. Jesus touched the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
Lakini nianso akilagilye ihetwe, kuite u Yesu wakamuamba, wekamukomya wikamulekela alongole yakwe.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “If your son or your ox happened to fall into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn't you go and pull him out immediately?”
Nung'wenso wikamuila, “Nyenyi apaite nukite ung'wana ang'wi ng'ombe wagwila muluze luhiku la kukulya shanga ukumuluta kunzi wapume?”
6 They weren't able to give an answer.
Nianso aeagila anga uhumi wakupumya ulukani kunkani niyanso.
7 So he told a story to the guests, noticing how they'd chosen to sit in places of honor.
Imatungo u Yesu nauagundue naile naalekilwe kina asagae intu niyaheshima, akaaila, kupyani akaaila.
8 “When you're invited to a wedding reception, don't take the place of honor, because someone more important than you may have been invited,” he began.
Imatungo nimalekilwe numuntu kuwinga, ukekikie munafasi naheshima, kunsoko iwezekanile walikilwe muntu mungiza nukite heshima kukila uewe.
9 “Your host who invited you both will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then in embarrassment you'll have to move to whatever place is left.
Imatungo umuntu nualekilwe unye nimeabiile angawapike, ukuela uewe, “muhegele uyu enafasi ako” kuite kwa minyala ukonza kuhega nukikie kunyuma.
10 Instead, when you're invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he'll tell you, ‘My friend, please move to a better seat.’ Then you'll be honored before all the guests sitting with you.
Lakini uewe angawalekwe, longola wikie kumwisho ite imatungo angawaza nukualekile, uhumile kuuila uewe, muhumba miane, longola kuntongela kukila.” Kuite ukutula uheshimiwe ntongela aehi neikie palung'wi nuewe pameza.
11 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Kundogoilyo uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, nuyu nuisimya wikuligwa.
12 Then he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, for they may invite you back, and then you'd be repaid.
U Yesu akamuila umuntu naumalekile, “Nukupumya indya ya mung'wi ang'wi yampende, lakukualeka eahumba eako ang'wi anya ndugo ako ang'wi antu ang'wi anyakisale ako neatajili, ite kunsoko neaenso akekualika uewe upate ilipo.
13 Instead, when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
Kuleka ite, nukuanya isherehe, aaleke eamasikini, ealema, akewete, niapoku,
14 and you will be blessed, for they have nothing to repay you with, and you'll be rewarded at the resurrection of the good.”
nuewe ukukembetwa, kunsoko shangaakulipa. Kundogoelyo ukulipwa muwioki watai.”
15 When one of them eating at the table with Jesus heard this, he said to Jesus, “How wonderful it will be for those who feast in the kingdom of God!”
Imatungo ung'wi ao aewikie mumeza palung'wi nu Yesu naewigule aya, nung'wenso wikaaela, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuekulya umukute muutemi wang'wi Tunda.
16 “Once there was a man who prepared a great banquet, and invited many guests,” Jesus replied.
Lakini u Yesu wikaaila, “Muntu ung'we auzepilye sherehe nkulu, akaitanga antu eedu.”
17 “When it was time to eat he sent his servant out to tell everyone who had been invited, ‘Come, because the banquet's ready.’
Matungo isherehe naekole tayari, aumutumike umitumi akwe aaele awa naalekilwe, “Pembyi mihi kunsoko iintu yehi ikole tayali.
18 But they all started to make excuses. The first said, ‘I've just bought a field and I have to go and see it. Please excuse me.’
Ehi, ekatulalompa radhi. Nuang'wandyo akamuila umitumi, ngoile mugunda, lazima nende nulegoze. Itunu unsamile.
19 Another said, ‘I've just bought five pairs of oxen and have to go and try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said,
Numuya wikalunga, Nguile majoki ataano na ng'ombe, nunene niinzu kuagema, itunu unkoelwe.
20 ‘I've just got married, so I can't come.’
Nu muntu mungiza wekalunga, “Ntenile musungu, kuite shanga nzile.”
21 The servant returned and told his master what they'd said. The home-owner became angry and told his servant, ‘Quickly, go out into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
Umitumi akasuka akamuila umukulu wakwe emakani nanso. Umukola nyumba wikataka akamuila umitumi wakwe, “Longokaya muisale numukona akisale ualete hapa iamasikini, niakelema, niapoku nawa nialemilwe.”
22 Then the servant said, ‘Master, I did what you told me, but there are still empty places.’
Umitumi wikalunga, mkulu aya nazundagiye ehi namituma, ganitungile ga enafasi kele ekole.”
23 So the master told the servant, ‘Go out on the country roads and lanes, and make people come—I want my house to be full.
Mukulu wikamuila umitumi, longola munzila nenkulu uahimize eantu ingiile, ite enyumba ne izule.
24 I tell you, not a single one of those people I invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
Kundogoelyo kumuila, kuite awa nialekilwe nung'wandyo shangaukuonza esherehe ane.
25 A large crowd was accompanying Jesus. He turned to them and said,
Ite umati ukulu aealongoe palung'wi nung'wenso, nung'wenso wikapiluka, wikaaila,
26 “If you want to follow me but you don't hate your father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters—even your own life—you can't be my disciple.
Angize muntu wizile kitalane nung'wenso shangaumubipiwe utata akwe, musungu wakwe, anaaakwe, anyandugu akwe, agoha nawa niasungu ee, ga nuwikale wakwe ga shanga ukutula mumanyisigwa wane.
27 If you don't carry your cross and follow me, you can't be my disciple.
Umuntu nushanga ukuhola umusalaba wakwe waze kunyuma ane shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa wane.
28 If you planned to build a tower, wouldn't you first work out how much it would cost, and see if you had enough money to complete it?
Kundogoelyo nyenyu ung'wi anyu, nuhumilwe insula akuzenga umunola shanga ukikie hanza wakadilie engalama kumahesabu kina ukite eke nutakile wahu kukamisha nelanso?
29 Otherwise, if after laying the foundation you weren't able to finish it, everyone who saw it would laugh at you, saying,
Kuite, baada akuika umusingi nukuleng'wa kumala, ehi naineakanza kumugema.
30 ‘Look at him: he started building but he couldn't finish it.’
Akutambula umuntu uyu aewandilye kuzenga, wekatula mugila anga ngulu akumailya.”
31 What king goes to war with another king without first sitting down with his advisors to work out whether he and his ten thousand can defeat the one marching against him with twenty thousand?
Ite mutemike, nutakile kenda kikua nuutemi nuungiza kumbita, shanga uhumile kikie hanza pihe nukuhola imasigo angize uhumile, palung'wi ni antu elfu ikumi kikua nuutemi nuungiza nuukiza migulya akwe neantu elfu ishilini?
32 If he can't, he'll send representatives to ask for peace while the other king is still a long way off.
Kang'wi shangauu, matungo ijeshi nilaangiza kile lekole kule, wetuma momboi kutaka emashariti aamani.
33 In the same way every one of you who doesn't give up everything can't be my disciple.
Kuite gwa, wehi ung'wi ao neshanga ukuleka ehi nanso nukete, shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa ane.
34 Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how can you make it salty again?
Umunyu uza, lakini anga umunyu angaulimilye lauha akwe, ikutula ule utule munyu hange?
35 It's no good for the soil or for fertilizer—you just toss it out. Whoever has ears, then listen!”
Ngila anga matumizi muudogo hata mumbolea uyu nakite iakutwe ahija nuije.”
