Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
Zyakachitika bumwi buzuba bwa Sabata aawo nakanjila mung'anda yawumwi mu Falisi kuti alye chinkwa, alimwi bakamulangisisya.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Amulange, kunembo lyakwe kwakali mwaalumi wakalikuchiswa bulwazi bwaku zimba.
3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal 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. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Pesi bakawumuna. Aboobo Jesu wakamujata, wamuponia, mpawo wamuti ayende. Wakati kulimbabo,
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will 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 answer him again to these things.
Bakakachilwa kumusandula kulizeezi zintu.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,
Jesu naakabona kuti nzila aabo bakatambidwe njibakali kusala aayo zyuuno zyabulemu, wakaambula chikozyanisyo, wakati kulimbabo,
8 When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;
“Na kotambidwe kupobwe lyalukwatano, utalikaziki kuchuuno chabulemu nkaambo kulakonzeka umwi mulemu kwiindwa nduwe ulitambidwe.
9 And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
Naayosika ooyo wamutamba mobile ulati, 'Nyampuka upe ooyu chuuno chako,' mpawo mubweeme uyoonyampuka ukakkale achuuno chitakwe bulemu.
10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you.
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 whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Nkaammbo woonse uulisumpula uyoofwiinsigwa, ayooyo ulifwiinsya uyoomsumpulwa.”
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbors; lest they also bid you again, and a recompense be made you.
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 you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Pesi kuti wachita pobwe, tamba bachete, batyokede, balemene aboofu,
14 And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
mpawo uyoolongezegwa, nkaambo tabakonzyi kukubbadala pe. Uyoobbadalwa kububuke bwabalule.”
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Aawo umwi wabaabo bakakkede anguwe aatafula naakamvwa zintu eezi, wakamwaambila kuti, “Ulilongezezegwe ooyo uutakalye chinkwa mu bwami bwa Leza!”
16 Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Pesi Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Umwi mwaalumi wakabaambiila chilalilo mpawo wakatamba biingi.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Kuchiindi chachilalilo wakatuma mubelesi kuti akatedi kuli bakatambidwe, 'Amusike nkaambo zyoonse zyaba kabotu.'
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray you have me excused.
Alimwi boonse bakatalika bukozyenie kubikka zikumbizyo. Mutaanzi wakati, 'Nawula muunda, aboobo ndeelede kuyowubona, nche nsilibambilide pe.'
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray you have me excused.
Umbi wakati 'Ndakawula zipani zyabasune zilimusanu, aboobo ndiya kukubasa, nche nsilibambilide pe.'
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Uumbi alakwe wakati, 'Ndakakwata mwanakazi, ndaabwiinga aboobo nsikonzyi pe kusika.'
21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
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 servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.
Mubelesi wakati 'Simalelo, nzuwalayilide zyachitwa, pesi mpubuchili busena.'
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Simalelo wakati kumubelesi, 'Koya mumazila mapati amumubaya ukabakombelezye kuti basike, amwi ng'anda yangu yalikunoozula.
24 For I say to 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 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
Lino makamu aabantu akayinka aawe, lino wakabachebuka wati kulimbabo,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot 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 whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Kufumbwa uutabwezi chiingano chakwe takonzyi pe kuba soikwiiya wangu.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not down first, and counts the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Nkambo awumwi wenu ooyo uyeeya kuyaka bulambo, taakwe nanga wakkala aansi kuti abale nanka ulaazyo zyoonse ziyandikana kuti ayake?
29 Lest haply, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Pesi na wasya ntalisyo yakwe mpawo wazokachilwa kumaninsya, woonse unoolanga unomuseka,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
kati, 'Ooyu mwaalumi wakasanguna kuyaka pesi wakakachilwa kumaninsya.'
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sits not down first, and consults whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that comes against him with twenty 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 else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an ambassador, and desires conditions of peace.
Akuti nape, na imwi nkamu yabasinkondonyina kiichili kule, tatumi na sing'enda kuti akatule amjwi aluumuno.
33 So likewise, whoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
Aboobo woonse utatakati zyoonse nzyali aazyo takonzyi pe kuba sikwiiya wangu.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his flavor, with which shall it be seasoned?
Mwinyo mubotu, pesi kuti mwinyo wamana kulweela nga ulabweedezegwa biyeni kuti ulweele lubo?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Tuuchikwe nchuuchibeleka naa akumuse naa manyowa. Ulasowegwa. Ooyo uulamatwi akumvwa, ngamvwe.”
