< 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.
Nígbà tí ó wọ ilé ọ̀kan nínú àwọn olórí Farisi lọ ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi láti jẹun, wọ́n sì ń ṣọ́ ọ.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan tí ó ní ara wíwú níwájú rẹ̀.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Jesu sì dáhùn ó wí fún àwọn amòfin àti àwọn Farisi pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ láti mú ni láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, tàbí kò tọ́?”
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Wọ́n sì dákẹ́. Ó sì mú un, ó mú un láradá, ó sì jẹ́ kí ó lọ.
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?
Ó sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni nínú yín tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí màlúù rẹ̀ yóò bọ́ sínú ihò, tí kì yóò sì fà á sókè lójúkan náà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi?”
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Wọn kò sì lè dá a lóhùn mọ́ sí nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
Ó sì pa òwe kan fún àwọn tí ó pè é wá jẹun, nígbà tí ó ṣàkíyèsí bí wọ́n ti ń yan ipò ọlá; ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
“Nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá pè ọ́ wá sí ibi ìyàwó, má ṣe jókòó ní ipò ọlá; kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, a ó pe ẹni tí ó lọ́lá jù ọ́ lọ.
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
Nígbà tí ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ bá dé, a sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Fún ọkùnrin yìí ní ààyè!’ Ìwọ á sì wá fi ìtìjú mú ipò ẹ̀yìn.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a bá pè ọ́, lọ kí o sì jókòó ní ipò ẹ̀yìn; nígbà tí ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ bá dé, kí ó lè wí fún ọ pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, bọ́ sókè!’ Nígbà náà ni ìwọ ó ní ìyìn lójú àwọn tí ó bá ọ jókòó ti oúnjẹ.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ni a ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ni a ó sì gbéga.”
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún alásè tí ó pè é pé, “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣe àsè má ṣe pe àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tàbí àwọn ìbátan rẹ, tàbí àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀; nítorí kí wọn má ṣe pè ọ́ padà láti san ẹ̀san padà.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣe àsè, pe àwọn tálákà, àwọn alábùkún ara, àwọn amúnkùn ún, àti àwọn afọ́jú:
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Ìwọ ó sì jẹ́ alábùkún fún; nítorí wọn kò ní ohun tí wọn ó fi san án fún ọ, ṣùgbọ́n a ó san án fún ọ ní àjíǹde, àwọn olóòtítọ́.”
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Nígbà tí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí wọ́n jọ jókòó gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ó wí fún Jesu pé, “Alábùkún ni fún ẹni tí yóò jẹ oúnjẹ àsè ní ìjọba Ọlọ́run!”
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan ṣe àsè alẹ́ ńlá, ó sì pe ènìyàn púpọ̀.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní wákàtí àsè alẹ́ náà láti sọ fún àwọn tí a ti pè pé, ‘Ẹ wá; nítorí ohun gbogbo ṣetán!’
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
“Gbogbo wọn sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe àwáwí ohun kan. ‘Èkínní wí fún un pé, mo ra ilẹ̀ kan, mo sì fẹ́ lọ wò ó wò, mo bẹ̀ ọ́ ṣe gáfárà fún mi.’
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
“Èkejì sì wí pé, ‘Mo ra àjàgà màlúù márùn-ún, mo sì ń lọ wò wọ́n wò: mo bẹ̀ ọ́ ṣe gáfárà fún mi.’
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
“Ẹ̀kẹta sì wí pé, ‘Mo ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbéyàwó, nítorí náà ni èmi kò fi lè wá.’
21 So that servant came, and shewed 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 hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
“Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì padà dé, ó sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún olúwa rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni baálé ilé bínú, ó wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Jáde lọ sí ìgboro, àti sí òpópó ọ̀nà, kí o sì mú àwọn tálákà, àti àwọn amúnkùn ún, àti àwọn arọ, àti àwọn afọ́jú wá sí ìhín yìí.’
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
“Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa a ti ṣe bí o ti pàṣẹ, ààyè sì ń bẹ síbẹ̀.’
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
“Olúwa náà sì wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà pé, ‘Jáde lọ sí òpópó, àti sí ọ̀nà ọgbà, kí o sì rọ̀ wọ́n láti wọlé wá, kí ilé mi lè kún.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Nítorí mo wí fún yín, ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tí a ti pè, kì yóò tọ́wò nínú àsè ńlá mi!’”
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn ń bá a lọ; ó sì yípadà, ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
“Bí ẹnìkan bá tọ̀ mí wá, tí kò sì kórìíra baba àti ìyá, àti aya, àti ọmọ, àti arákùnrin, àti arábìnrin, àní àti ọkàn ara rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá ru àgbélébùú rẹ̀, kí ó sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
“Nítorí ta ni nínú yín tí ń pète láti kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́, tí kì yóò kọ́kọ́ jókòó kí ó ṣírò iye owó rẹ̀, bí òun ní tó tí yóò fi parí rẹ̀.
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé nígbà tí ó bá fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilé sọlẹ̀ tan, tí kò lè parí rẹ̀ mọ́, gbogbo àwọn tí ó rí i a bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Wí pé, ‘Ọkùnrin yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ ilé, kò sì lè parí rẹ̀.’
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
“Tàbí ọba wo ni ó ń lọ bá ọba mìíràn jà, tí kì yóò kọ́kọ́ jókòó, kí ó sì gbèrò bí yóò lè fi ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá pàdé ẹni tí ń mú ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún bọ̀ wá ko òun lójú?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, nígbà tí onítọ̀hún bá sì wà ní òkèrè, òun a rán ikọ̀ sí i, a sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ àdéhùn àlàáfíà.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wù kí ó ṣe nínú yín, tí kò kọ ohun gbogbo tí ó ní sílẹ̀, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
“Iyọ̀ dára: ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu, kín ni a ó fi mú un dùn?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Kò yẹ fún ilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò yẹ fún ààtàn; bí kò ṣe pé kí a kó o dànù. “Ẹni tí ó bá ní etí láti fi gbọ́ kí ó gbọ́.”
