Luke 14
1 And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him.
Zyakachitika bumwi buzuba bwa Sabata aawo nakanjila mung'anda yawumwi mu Falisi kuti alye chinkwa, alimwi bakamulangisisya.
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
Amulange, kunembo lyakwe kwakali mwaalumi wakalikuchiswa bulwazi bwaku zimba.
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
Jesu wakabuzya kulibasi busongo bamulawu waba Juda wakati, “Chilimumu lawu na kuponia mubuzuba bwa Sabata, nape?
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
Pesi bakawumuna. Aboobo Jesu wakamujata, wamuponia, mpawo wamuti ayende. Wakati kulimbabo,
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?
“Ngwani aakati kenu ulaamwana mulombe na ng'ombe iinga kuti iyawida mudindi mubuzuba bwa Sabata takofwaambana kuyoyigwisya?”
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
Bakakachilwa kumusandula kulizeezi zintu.
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
Jesu naakabona kuti nzila aabo bakatambidwe njibakali kusala aayo zyuuno zyabulemu, wakaambula chikozyanisyo, wakati kulimbabo,
8 When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him,
“Na kotambidwe kupobwe lyalukwatano, utalikaziki kuchuuno chabulemu nkaambo kulakonzeka umwi mulemu kwiindwa nduwe ulitambidwe.
9 And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome.
Naayosika ooyo wamutamba mobile ulati, 'Nyampuka upe ooyu chuuno chako,' mpawo mubweeme uyoonyampuka ukakkale achuuno chitakwe bulemu.
10 But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
Pesi nakuti watambwa, yinka ukakkale muchuuno chilaansi mubusena bulaansi, kuchitila kuti nasika sikukutamba akwaambile kuti, 'Mwenzuma yinka kujulu.' Aboobo ulapegwa bulemu mumenso aboonse mbokkede aabo aatafula.
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
Nkaammbo woonse uulisumpula uyoofwiinsigwa, ayooyo ulifwiinsya uyoomsumpulwa.”
12 Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee.
Alimwi Jesou wakati kuli ooyo wakamutabide, “Na wapa chisusulo na chilalilo, utatambi beenzinyokwe, nabanakwanu, na basimayakilane bako bavubide, nkaambo ayebo bazokutamba lubo mpayo uyoojana kubbadalwa.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
Pesi kuti wachita pobwe, tamba bachete, batyokede, balemene aboofu,
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
mpawo uyoolongezegwa, nkaambo tabakonzyi kukubbadala pe. Uyoobbadalwa kububuke bwabalule.”
15 Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God.
Aawo umwi wabaabo bakakkede anguwe aatafula naakamvwa zintu eezi, wakamwaambila kuti, “Ulilongezezegwe ooyo uutakalye chinkwa mu bwami bwa Leza!”
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
Pesi Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Umwi mwaalumi wakabaambiila chilalilo mpawo wakatamba biingi.
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
Kuchiindi chachilalilo wakatuma mubelesi kuti akatedi kuli bakatambidwe, 'Amusike nkaambo zyoonse zyaba kabotu.'
18 But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Alimwi boonse bakatalika bukozyenie kubikka zikumbizyo. Mutaanzi wakati, 'Nawula muunda, aboobo ndeelede kuyowubona, nche nsilibambilide pe.'
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Umbi wakati 'Ndakawula zipani zyabasune zilimusanu, aboobo ndiya kukubasa, nche nsilibambilide pe.'
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
Uumbi alakwe wakati, 'Ndakakwata mwanakazi, ndaabwiinga aboobo nsikonzyi pe kusika.'
21 So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde.
Mubelesi wakaboola akwaambila simalelo wakwe eezi zintu. Mpawo simalelo wang'anda wakanyema akwaambila mubelesi wakwe kuti, 'Yinka chakufwambaana aanze mumigwagwa amutuzila twamu dolopo, ukeete bafwaba, batyokede, boofu abalemene.
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
Mubelesi wakati 'Simalelo, nzuwalayilide zyachitwa, pesi mpubuchili busena.'
23 Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled.
Simalelo wakati kumubelesi, 'Koya mumazila mapati amumubaya ukabakombelezye kuti basike, amwi ng'anda yangu yalikunoozula.
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
Nkaambo ndati kulinduwe, tawo naba omwe wabaaba baalumi mbindatambide uyoolabila chakulya changu.'”
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
Lino makamu aabantu akayinka aawe, lino wakabachebuka wati kulimbabo,
26 If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.
“Na muntu waza kulindime, katasuli wisi, banyina, banakwe, bana bakwe banabakwabo abachizi bakwe, - iyii, abuumwi bwakwe - takonzyi pe kuba sikwiiya wangu.
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
Kufumbwa uutabwezi chiingano chakwe takonzyi pe kuba soikwiiya wangu.
28 For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it,
Nkambo awumwi wenu ooyo uyeeya kuyaka bulambo, taakwe nanga wakkala aansi kuti abale nanka ulaazyo zyoonse ziyandikana kuti ayake?
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
Pesi na wasya ntalisyo yakwe mpawo wazokachilwa kumaninsya, woonse unoolanga unomuseka,
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
kati, 'Ooyu mwaalumi wakasanguna kuyaka pesi wakakachilwa kumaninsya.'
31 Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand?
Nakuti ngwani mwami, uunga nayanda kuyolwana awumbi mwami, takookkala aansi ayandule mizeezo yakumugwasya kuti ulakonzya kumulwana kali aabasikulwana zyuulu zilikumi ooyo ngwalwana aawe kali aabasikulwana zyuulu makumi aabili?
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
Akuti nape, na imwi nkamu yabasinkondonyina kiichili kule, tatumi na sing'enda kuti akatule amjwi aluumuno.
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Aboobo woonse utatakati zyoonse nzyali aazyo takonzyi pe kuba sikwiiya wangu.
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
Mwinyo mubotu, pesi kuti mwinyo wamana kulweela nga ulabweedezegwa biyeni kuti ulweele lubo?
35 It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Tuuchikwe nchuuchibeleka naa akumuse naa manyowa. Ulasowegwa. Ooyo uulamatwi akumvwa, ngamvwe.”
