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.
Ligono Limonga la Kupumulila, Yesu ahambili kulya chakulya, kunyumba ya chilongosi mmonga wa Vafalisayu, na vandu vakavya kumlingulila.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Palongolo ya Yesu avi mundu mweavi na utamu wa kuhimba higa
3 And Jesus answering spoke unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Yesu akavakota vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na Vafalisayu, “Wu, mhilu wijova wuli, chabwina amala chabwina lepi, kumlamisa mundu Ligono la Kupumulila?”
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Nambu vene vakaguna. Yesu akamtola mundu yula na kumlamisa, akamleka ahambayi.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?
Kangi akavajovela, “Yani pagati yinu mweavi na mwana waki amala ng'ombi yaki yeyidumbukili muchiliva nakuyihumisa bahapo, ndava mu Ligono la Kupumulila?”
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Nambu vene nakuhotola kumyangula.
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 akavalola vavagongoliwi chavajihagulila vigoda vya palongolo, ndi akavajovela,
8 When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than you be bidden of him;
“Ngati mundu akugongolili, kundowa ukotoka kutama pavigoda vya palongolo, Pangi agongoliwi yungi mkulu kuliku veve.
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 low room.
Mweavagongolili mwavoha nyenye vavili, yati ibwela na kukujovela, ‘Uwuka atama uyu.’ Penapo yati wikola soni na kuhamba kutama pandu pa mwishu.
10 But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the low room; that when he that bade you comes, he may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit to eat with you.
Ngati mundu akugongolili kundowa, veve uhamba ukatama muvigoda vya mumbele, muni mweakugongolili yula, paibwela yati akukujovela, ‘Wankozi wangu yima ubwela utama pa vigoda vya palongolo.’ Penapo yati utopela pavandu voha, vevatamili pamonga na veve.
11 For whosoever exalts himself shall be brought low; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
Muni mundu yoyoha mweakujikwiha yati iheleswa, na yeyoha mweakujihelesa yati ikwihiwa.”
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brethren, neither your kinsmen, nor your rich neighbours; lest they also bid you again, and a recompence be made you.
Kangi akamjovela mwaigongolela yula, “Ngati uvatendelekili vandu chakulya cha muhi amala kimihi, kotoka kuvagongolela vankozi vaku amala valongo vaku amala veutamanila nawu papipi vevavi na vindu vyamahele, muni na vene vihotola kukugongolela ndava na kukuwuyisila chewavahengili.
13 But when you make a feast, call the poor, the physically disabled, the lame, the blind:
Nambu peundelekela chakulya cha mselebuko, vagongolela vangangu na vevagogodili higa vangagenda na vangalola,
14 And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
na veve yati umotisiwa muni uvagongolili vangahotola kukuwuyisila. Nambu Chapanga yati akuwuyisila gabwina mu ligono la kuyukiswa vandu vabwina.”
15 And when one of them that sat at food with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Mmonga wa vala vavatamili na Yesu pameza, akajova amotisiwa mundu yula mweibwela kuyla chakulya cha mselebuko Muunkosi wa Chapanga!
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Yesu akamjovela, “Mundu mmonga atendekili mselebuko uvaha, na kuvagongolela vandu vamahele.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Palwahiki lukumbi lwa kulya, amtumili mvanda waki akavakemela vevagongoliwi, ‘Mbwela, kila chindu chitendelekiwi!’
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 essentially go and see it: I pray you have me excused.
Nambu voha, mmonga na kugelekela yungi vakutumbula kujova chondi pepayi. Mundu wa kutumbula akamjovela, mvanda yula, ‘Niguli mgunda yikunigana nihamba nikaulola pepayi yati nibwela lepi.’
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray you have me excused.
Na yungi akajova, ‘Niguli ng'ombi kumi za kulimila nihamba kuzilinga kulima chondi unilekekesa.’
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Na yungi akajova, ‘Nigegili mdala ndava ya genago, nakuhotola kubwela.’”
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 physically disabled, and the halt, and the blind.
“Mtumisi yula akawuya na kumjovela bambu waki mambu goha. Mkolo nyumba yula akayoma na kumlagiza mvanda waki, ‘Kita kanyata uhamba munjila yivaha na tunjila twa muji ukavaleta vangangu na vangagenda na vangalola na vevagogodili higa.’
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you have commanded, and yet there is room.
Mtumisi yula Paawuyili kuhuma kweatumiwili akamjovela, ‘Bambu, goha geukalagizi gahengiki, nambu pakona pandu pakutama vandu.’
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.
Bambu yula akamjovela mvanda. Uhamba munjila yivaha na tunjila twa muji, ukavakamula vandu kuyingila munyumba yangu yimema.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Nikuvajovela nyenye, voha vevatumbwili kugongolewa, kawaka hati mmonga, mweimywanga chakulya cha mselebuko wangu!”
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
Msambi wa vandu walongosini na Yesu, mwene akang'anamuka na kuvajovela,
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.
Mundu yoyoha mweibwela kwa nene yikumgana aniganayi neju nene, kuliku kumgana dadi waki na nyina waki na mdala waki na vana vaki na valongo vaki na valumbu vaki, pamonga na wumi waki, changakita ago, nakuhotola kuvya muwuliwa wangu.
27 And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Mundu yoyoha yula mwangagega msalaba waki na kunilanda mwenuyo nakuhotola kuvya muwuliwa 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?
Wu, yani pagati yinu mweigana kujenga mnala nakutama hoti pahi, kuvalanga mashonga kumanya ngati avi nagu gegitosha kumalakisa kujenga?
29 Lest lest by any means, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Ngati lepi, akatumbula kujenga mkingisa, nakuhotola kumalakisa vandu voha vevilola yati vakumuheka.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Yati vijova, Mundu uyu atumbwili kujenga. Nambu nakuhotola kumalakisila!
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?
“Wu, Nkosi yani mweigana kuhamba kutovana ngondo na Nkosi yungi, nakutama hoti pahi na kuhololela, wu, ihotola kwa manjolinjoli waki elufu kumi, kutovana ngondo na nkosi yula mweibwela kutovana nayu ngondo mweavi na manjolinjoli elufu ishilini?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy, and desires conditions of peace.
Ngati amanyili kuvya nakuhotola, yati avatuma vajumbi kuyupa vakotoka kutova, lukumbi nkosi yungi akona kutali.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
Mewawa,” Kawaka mundu mweihotola kuvya muwuliwa wangu, changaleka vindu vyoha vye avi navyu.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
“Mwinyu chindu cha bwina, nambu mwinyu ngati uyagisi lunyong'onyo lwaki, yati usopewa kyani mbaka kuvya kavili mwinyu?
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.
Yabwina lepi kusopewa muludaka amala mabuli. Vandu vakuyitaga kuvala. Mundu mweavi na makutu na ayuwana!”
