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.
Nabumbi busuba bwa Sabata Yesu walakwiwa kuya kulya kung'anda ya mukulene wa Bafalisi. Popelapo Bafalisi bali kabamulangishisha.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Lino pantangu pakendi Yesu palikuba muntu walikuba washimba mubili.
3 And Yahushua answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?
Lino Yesu walepusha Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha Milawo eti, “Sena Milawo ikute kusuminisha kushilika muntu pa busuba bwa Sabata nambi ne?”
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Nsombi balo balamwenowa. Lino Yesu walamanta muntu uyo, wamushilika nekumwambileti koya.
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?
Popelapo Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba nibani pakati penu. Na ng'ombe iwila mumukalo pa busuba bwa Sabata, sena nkela kwisabula pa cindico?”
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Lino balalilwa kumukumbula.
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,
Yesu mpwalabona bantu balakwiwa kulya nendi balatatika kulisalila bipuna byabulemu, walabambila mukoshanisho eti,
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;
“Na muntu umukuwa kubwinga, mutekalanga pacipuna ca bulemu, pakwinga uyo muntu lamukuwu inga kakute bambi bapita amwe ba bulemu.
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.
Neco uyo walamukuwa mwense mobabili nakese akamwambileti, kamufumani apa, pani cipuna ici kumuntu uyu, Lino nimukanyumfwe insoni mwakanyamuka kuya kwikala pa cipuma cabula bulemu.
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.
Nomba na bamukuwa, kamuyani mwikale pabusena bwabula kuba bwabulemu kwambeti uyo mwine lamukuwu akamwambileti, ‘Kamwisani mwikalile pano, pa cipuna ca bulemu.’ Ici nicikakupe bulemu pamenso abantu bonse mbowalakwiwa nabo.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Pakwinga muntu uliyense weshikulisumpula nakacepeshewe nsombi muntu weshikulicepesha nakasumpulwe.”
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.
Lino Yesu walambila Mufalisi walabakuweti, “Na mulakuwu bantu kwisakulya nabo cakulya ca munshi nambi ca mansailo, mutakuwa banenu, bakamukowa, ne bamakwenu nambi banobe babile, pakwinga naboyo nga bamukuwani, neco ngamutambulila limo cipo cenu.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Nsombi na ulabamba byakulya byakusekelela, kuwa bakandu ne balema kayi ne bampofu.
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Lino nukapewe colwe, pakwinga balo nkabela kucikonsha kumubweshela. Lesa nakamubweshele pabusuba ubo baswepa bakapunduka kubafu.”
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 YHWH.
Muntu umbi palyabo Yesu mbwalikulyanabo, mpwalanyumfwa makani aya, walambila Yesu eti, “Walelekwa uyo eti akalye nabo pakusekelela mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Nendi Yesu walakumbuleti, “Kwalikuba muntu umbi walabamba malyalya kwambeti basekelele, ne kukuwa bantu bangi.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Cindi camalyalya mpocalashika walatuma musebenshi wakendi kuya kubakuwa nekubambileti, kamwisani bintu byonse bilabambiwa.
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.
Nsombi bonse balakwiwa balatalika kwamba bintu byalabatatisha. Mutanshi walambeti, ndaulu libala neco ndelela kuya kulibona. Bandekeleleko nteti njise.”
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
Umbi walambeti, Ndaulu ng'ombe shakwana bipani bisanu, ndenga akushelesha, mundekeleleko nteti njise.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Naumbi walambeti, Ame ndeba mutukashi lino lino neco nteshi njise.
21 So that servant came, and shewed his master 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.
“Lino musebenshi walabwelela ne kumwambila mwami wakendi byonse ibyo. Mwine ng'anda walakalala, lino walamwambila musebesheti, endesha, koya munshila shinene ne shing'ana sha mumushi ukuwe bakandu ne balema kayi ne bampofu wise nabo kuno.
22 And the servant said, Master, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Mpwalabwela musebenshi walambeti, mwami, ndenshi kwelena nencomulang'ambili, kayi busena mobucili.
23 And the master said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Lino mwami wakendi walakumbuleti, koya munshila ne mumikondo ya muminshi ubambile bantu cangofu eti bese kwambeti ng'anda yakame isule.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Ndamwambilingeti paliya nambi umo palyabo mbondalakuwa weshi alyeko malyalya akusekelela kwakame!”
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
Likoto linene lya bantu lyalakonkela Yesu, lino walapindamuka ne kubambileti,
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.
Muntu uliyense layandanga kuba weshikwiya wakame welela kusuna ame kupita baishi ne banyina, nambi bakashendi ne bana, banse batukashi ne batuloba, kupita buyumi bwakendi.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Muntu uliyense labulunga kulikana mwine ne kuba walimbambila kupenshewa, nkela kuba shikwiya wakame.
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?
“Nomba niyani umo pali amwe ayandanga kwibaka ng'anda itali, sena nkakute kwikala panshi nekubona na ukute mali akwana bintu bikute kuyandika kwambeti apwishe ng'anda iyo?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Pakwinga nalabulu kwinseco, ngacikonshyowa kubamba panshi, nekwalilwa kupwisha. Nomba bantu beshikubona ibi inga bamuseka.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Nibakambeti, uyu muntu walatatika kwibaka ng'anda, nomba lalilwa kupwisha.”
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?
“Nomba nimwami cini, wela pakuya kulwana ne mwami umbi, nkakute kwikala panshi nekuyeya cena? Ukute kuyeya kwambeti nibashilikali byulu makumi abili bela kulwana ne mwami usa umbi, uyo lesanga bela kucikonshya ni bashilikali byulu likumi limo.
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
Neco na labono kwambeti nkela kucikonshya, ukute kutuma beshikumwimanina kwambeti be ngabasenge lumuno, mwami usa kacili kutali.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
“Weco muntu uliyense labulunga kushiya bintu byonse mbyakute, nkela kuba weshikwiya wakame.”
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
“Mucele waina nomba na ulasambuluku ngamwinseconi kwambeti ube cena kayi?
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.
Uliyawa incito kubulongo nambi pa bufumba bwakubika mulibala bakute kutayowa. muntu ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
