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.
Otu ụbọchị izuike, mgbe ọ gara iri ihe nʼụlọ otu onyendu ndị Farisii, ha nọ na-ele ya anya nke ọma.
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
Ma lee, otu nwoke ahụ ya zara aza nọkwa nʼihu ya ebe ahụ.
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
Jisọs jụrụ ndị Farisii na ndị ozizi iwu sị, “O ziri ezi nʼiwu ịgwọ ọrịa nʼụbọchị izuike ka ọ bụ na o zighị?”
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
Ma ha e kwughị okwu ọbụla. Ya mere ọ kpọrọ ya, gwọọ ya ma sị ya laa.
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?
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na otu nʼime unu nwere nwa nwoke maọbụ oke ehi nke dabara nʼime olulu mmiri nʼụbọchị izuike, ọ bụ na ọ gaghị eme ngwangwa dọpụta ya?”
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
Ma ha enweghị ike ịza ajụjụ a.
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
Mgbe ọ hụrụ otu ndị a kpọrọ oriri si họrọ naanị oche ndị a na-asọpụrụ, oche ndị a na-asọpụrụ, ọ tụrụ ha ilu sị,
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,
“Mgbe mmadụ ọbụla kpọrọ gị oriri nʼọlụlụ di na nwunye, abatala nọdụ nʼoche ndị a na-asọpụrụ, nʼihi na eleghị anya, onye kpọrọ gị oriri kpọkwara onye ka gị nwe nsọpụrụ.
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.
Nʼihi na onye ahụ kpọrọ unu oriri nwere ike bịakwute gị sị gị, nye nwoke a ọnọdụ gị. Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-ebili nʼanya ihere gaa nọdụ nʼoche dịkarịsịrị ala.
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.
Ma mgbe a kpọrọ gị, nọdụ nʼoche dị ala, ka ọ ga-abụ na onye kpọrọ gị oriri bịa, ọ ga-asị gị ‘Enyi m, rigota nʼebe a ka elu.’ Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-enwekwa ugwu nʼanya ndị niile a kpọrọ gị na ha oriri.
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
Nʼihi na onye ọbụla ga-ebuli onwe ya elu ka a ga-eweda nʼala, ma onye ọbụla na-eweda onwe ya ala ka a ga-ebuli elu.”
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.
Ọ gwara onye ahụ kpọrọ ya oriri sị, “Mgbe ị na-akpọ oriri nke nri ehihie maọbụ nke nri anyasị, akpọla naanị ndị enyi gị maọbụ ụmụnne gị ndị nwoke maọbụ ndị ikwu na ibe gị, maọbụ ndị agbataobi gị bara ọgaranya, nʼihi ma eleghị anya, ha pụrụ ịkpọkwa gị na mgbe nke ha, sị otu a kwụghachi gị ụgwọ.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
Kama mgbe ị na-akpọ oriri, kpọọ ndị ogbenye na ndị ọlụsị na ndị ngwụrọ na ndị ìsì.
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
A ga-agọzikwa gị, nʼihi na ha enweghị ike ịkwụghachi gị, a ga-akwụghachikwa gị mgbe ndị ezi omume ga-ebili nʼọnwụ.”
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.
Mgbe otu nʼime ndị a kpọrọ oriri nụrụ nke a, ọ sịrị ya, “Ngọzị ga-adịrị onye ga-eso rie oriri nʼalaeze Chineke.”
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
Ma ọ sịrị ya, “Otu onye na-akwado oke oriri kpọkwa ọtụtụ mmadụ oku.
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
Mgbe oge oriri ahụ ruru, o zipụrụ ohu ya ka ọ ga gwa ndị ahụ ọ kpọrọ sị, ‘Bịanụ, nʼihi na e dozichaala ihe niile.’
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.
“Ma ha niile nʼotu nʼotu malitere inye ọsịsa. Onye nke mbụ sịrị, ‘Azụrụ m iberibe ala ọhụrụ, ọ dịkwa mkpa na m ga-eje hụ ya, biko gbaghara m, agaghị m abịa.’
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
“Onye nke ọzọ sịrị, ‘Azụrụ m ehi e ji arụ ọrụ ubi, iri e jikọrọ abụọ abụọ. Ana m aga ugbu a ka m nwalee ha, biko gbaghara m, agaghị m abịa.’
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
“Ma onye ọzọ sịkwara, ‘Alụrụ m nwunye ọhụrụ, nʼihi nke a agaghị m abịa.’
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.
“Ohu ahụ lọtara, kọọrọ nna ya ukwu ihe ndị ahụ a kpọrọ oriri kwuru. Mgbe ahụ, iwe dị ukwuu were nna ya ukwu, nke a mere ka o zipụ ohu ya sị ya, ‘Gaa ngwangwa nʼokporoụzọ ukwu na nʼokporoụzọ nta dị nʼobodo a, kpọbata ndị ogbenye, na ndị ụkwụ rụrụ, na ndị ìsì na ndị ngwụrọ.’
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
“Ohu ahụ sịrị, ‘Nna m ukwu, emeela m ihe i kwuru, ma ohere ka fọdụrụ.’
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.
“Nna ukwu ahụ sịrị ohu ahụ, ‘Gaakwa nʼokporoụzọ ukwu na okporoụzọ nta, mee ka ndị mmadụ bata nʼụlọ m, ka ụlọ m jupụta na mmadụ.
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
Nʼihi na agwa m unu, ọ dịghị otu onye nʼime ndị ahụ a kpọrọ oriri ga-edetụ nri m ọnụ.’”
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
Ugbu a, oke igwe mmadụ na-eso ya ma ọ tụgharịrị sị ha:
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.
“Onye ọbụla chọrọ iso m, ma o bụghị ụzọ kpọ nne na nna ya, na nwunye ya, na ụmụ ya, na ụmụnne ya ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị tinyekwara ndụ nke ya onwe ya asị, apụghị ịbụ onye na-eso ụzọ m.
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
Onye ọbụla na-eburughị obe ya soro m, enweghị ike ịbụ onye na-eso ụzọ m.
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,
“Ọ dị onye ọbụla nʼime unu chọrọ iwu ụlọ elu, na-agaghị ebu ụzọ nọdụ ala, gbakọọ ihe ọ ga-efu ya, iji chọpụta ma o nwekwara ego ga-ezu iwucha ya?
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọ tọọ ntọala ma o nwekwaghị ike wuchaa ya, onye ọbụla hụrụ ya ga-achị ya ọchị,
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
na-asị, ‘Nwoke a malitere iwu ụlọ, ma o nweghị ike wuchaa ya.’
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?
“Maọbụ olee eze chọrọ ịlụso eze ibe ya ọgụ, ọ gaghị ebu ụzọ nọdụ ala tulee ma puku ndị agha iri ya ọ ga-ezuru ya iji lụso onye ji iri puku ndị agha abụọ abịakwute ya ọgụ?
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
Ọ bụrụ na o nweghị ike, ọ ga-ezipụ ozi rịọ ka e kpee udo mgbe onye nke ọzọ ka nọ nʼebe dị anya.
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, onye ọbụla na-ajụghị ihe niile o nwere, apụghị ịbụ onye na-eso ụzọ m.
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
“Nnu dị mma, ma ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị atọkwa ụtọ, a ga-eji gịnị mee ka ọ tọọ ụtọ ọzọ?
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.
Ọ bakwaghị uru nye ala maọbụ iji mee nri ala. Kama ọ bụ itufu ya. “Onye ọbụla nwere ntị ịnụ ihe, ya nụrụ.”
