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.
Lishaka limu lya kwoyera, Yesu kagenditi kuliya shiboga kwa yumu gwa walongoziya wa Mafalisayu, na wantu wawaweriti palii waweriti wankumlola handa hakatendi shishi.
2 And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie.
Muntu mweni magulu na mawoku gakuwi gatutuma, kamwiziliti Yesu,
3 Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day?
na Yesu kawakosiyiti wafunda wa Malagaliru na Mafalisayu, “Hashi, Lilagaliru lya twenga lituruusu kuponiziya mulishaka lya kwoyera?”
4 And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe,
Kumbiti womberi watakula ndiri shintu. Yesu kamshinkula muntu ulii na kumponiziya na kamleka kagendi zyakuwi.
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?
Su kawagambira, “Kwana muntu yoseri pakati penu yakawera na mwana ama ng'ombi yakapatukiliti mulirindi mulishaka lya kwoyera su hapeni kamlaviyi toziya ya lishaka lya kwoyera?”
6 And they could not answere him againe to those things.
Woseri wasinda shakutakula, su wanyamalira jii.
7 He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them,
Yesu kaloliti wahenga wamu ntambu yawasyagula pahala paherepa nentu, su kawagambira woseri mfanu agu,
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,
“Muntu yoseri pakakushemerani mumsambu gwa arusi, namlivaga pahala paherepa nentu. Mana pamonga kwana muntu yakawera mkulu kuliku gwenga wamshemera,
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.
Na ulii mwenikaya kakugambili, ‘Gumlekeli shiti ayu.’ Su palii haguwoni soni na hagugendi kulivaga pahala pa upeleru.
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.
Ira pagushemelwa, gugendi na kulivaga pahala pa upeleru, su mweni kaya gwaku hakizi kwaku na kukugambira, ‘Ganja gwangu, gwizi uganu, pahala paherepa ng'anji.’ Palii hagupananwi ligoya palongolu pa wahenga wamonga woseri.
11 For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
Kwa woseri yawalikweniziya hawawasulusiyi, na woseri yawalisulusiya weni hawawakweniziyi.”
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.
Shakapanu Yesu kumgambira na ulii yakamshemera, “Handa pagutenda msambu paliwala ama pashiru naguwashemera waganja waku ama walongu waku ama wapakwegera waku, toziya hawakushemeri na gwenga vira, na kwanjira ayi hagupati shilii shagutenditi kwawu.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind,
Gwenga pagutenda msambu, guwashemeli wahushu, na wavibyeketu, na wana lwisi,
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.
na hagutekelelwi, toziya hapeni wakulipi shilii shagutenditi kwawu. Mlungu hakakulipi gwenga mulishaka lya wantu waheri pawazyuka.”
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.
Yumu gwa wantu yawalivagiti kulongolu kwa meza kapikaniriti aga, kamgambiriti Yesu, “Mbaka woseri hawawalivagi mumsambu Muufalumi wa Mlungu!”
16 Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many,
Yesu kamgambira, “Kwana muntu yumu yakatenditi msambu mkulu na kawashemiriti wantu wavuwa.
17 And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie.
Payiweriti shipindi sha msambu, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wagendi wakawagambiri walii yawashemiritwi, ‘Wizi, toziya kila shintu shiwera kala!’
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.
Kumbiti wantu woseri, yumu pa yumonga wanjiti kulonga toziya ya kuleka kwiza. Muntu gwa kwanja kamgambiriti ntumintumi, ‘Hemeriti lirambu su nfiruwa ng'endi nukaliloli, su nduwa hapeni nizi.’
19 And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused.
Muntu gwingi katakula, ‘Hemeriti wang'ombi lilongu limu na nankugolokera kugenda kuwajera mulirambu, su nduwa hapeni nizi!’
20 And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come.
Na yumonga katakula, ‘Neni nyuga mdala, su hapeni nizi.’
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.
“Su ntumintumi kawuya na kumgambira goseri mtuwa gwakuwi. Mtuwa ulii kakalaliti nentu na kumgambira ntumintumi gwakuwi, ‘kanongola gugendi munjira na muvipenyu vya muisi, gwakawajegi wahushu, na wavibyeketu na wanalwisi wavibyeketu wamonga.’
22 And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome.
Pamberi ntumintumi kalonga, ‘Mtuwa, vitwatira vitendeka ntambu yagutakuliti, kumbiti mwana fasi mnumba.’
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.
Su mtuwa kamgambiriti ntumintumi, ‘Gugendi munjira na muvipenyu, guwagambiri wantu mpaka wizi, su numba yangu hayimemi.
24 For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper.
Nukugambira nakaka kwahera muntu ata yumu pakati pa walii yawawashemeriti hakalambiti ata tyee shiboga shaneni!’”
25 Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them,
Palii lipinga likulu paliweriti lyankugenda pamuwera na Yesu, yomberi kagalambuka na kuwagambira,
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.
“Woseri yawiza kwa neni uganu wawafira tati na mawu wawu, wadala na wana, walongu na wadada wawu, ama womberi, hapeni waweri wafundwa waneni.
27 And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple.
Woseri yawatola ndiri lupingika lwawu weni na kunfata hapeni waweri wafundwa 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,
“Handa yumu pakati pa mwenga yakafira kunyawa mnara, kwanja kalivaga huti pasi na kulihola galama zakuwi, pakalola handa kana mpiya zitosha za kumalira lihengu.
29 Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,
Handa gwahera mpiya, pagunyawiti liyanjiru hapeni guwezi kumalira kunyawa mnara, na woseri pawalola galii gagalawiriti hawakuseki.
30 Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end?
Womberi hawalongi, ‘Muntu ayu yakanjiti kunyawa mnara kasinda kumalira lihengu!’
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?
“Mfalumi yakawera na wantu elufu lilongu limu pakagenda kumkoma mfalumi yumonga yakawera na wantu elufu malongu mawili, mpaka huti yomberi kalivagi kulihola handa kana makakala ga kuukoma ufalumi umonga.
32 Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace.
Handa pakahera makakala, hakawatumi wajumbi waliwoni na mfalumi yumonga, kumkosiya mashaliti ga ponga uganu yomberi kankali ka kutali.”
33 So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Yesu kamaliriti kwa kutakula, “Ntambu ira ayi kwahera ata yumu pakati penu hakaweri mfundwa wangu mpaka huti guleki kila shintu shakaweriti nashi.
34 Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted?
“Munu guherepa, kumbiti munu pagukola ndiri kwahera njira ya kugutenda gukoli kayi.
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.
Su gufaa ndiri ata pawitira mulitapaka ama kuwera mbotu, hawagwasi kutali. Yakana makutu kapikaniri!”
