Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, on His going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching 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 dropsical man before Him;
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?”
Jesu wakabuzya kulibasi busongo bamulawu waba Juda wakati, “Chilimumu lawu na kuponia mubuzuba bwa Sabata, nape?
4 And they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], He healed him, and let [him] go;
Pesi bakawumuna. Aboobo Jesu wakamujata, wamuponia, mpawo wamuti ayende. Wakati kulimbabo,
5 and answering them He said, “Of which of you will a donkey or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the Sabbath day?”
“Ngwani aakati kenu ulaamwana mulombe na ng'ombe iinga kuti iyawida mudindi mubuzuba bwa Sabata takofwaambana kuyoyigwisya?”
6 And they were not able to answer Him again to these things.
Bakakachilwa kumusandula kulizeezi zintu.
7 And He spoke an allegory to those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying to them,
Jesu naakabona kuti nzila aabo bakatambidwe njibakali kusala aayo zyuuno zyabulemu, wakaambula chikozyanisyo, wakati kulimbabo,
8 “When you may be called by anyone to wedding feasts, you may not recline on the first couch, lest [one] more honorable than you may have been called by him,
“Na kotambidwe kupobwe lyalukwatano, utalikaziki kuchuuno chabulemu nkaambo kulakonzeka umwi mulemu kwiindwa nduwe ulitambidwe.
9 and he who called you and him having come will say to you, Give to this one [your] place, and then you may begin to occupy the last place with shame.
Naayosika ooyo wamutamba mobile ulati, 'Nyampuka upe ooyu chuuno chako,' mpawo mubweeme uyoonyampuka ukakkale achuuno chitakwe bulemu.
10 But when you may be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called you may come, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; then you will have glory before those dining 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 because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
Nkaammbo woonse uulisumpula uyoofwiinsigwa, ayooyo ulifwiinsya uyoomsumpulwa.”
12 And He also said to him who called Him, “When you may make an early meal or a dinner, do not be calling your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they may also call you again, and a repayment may come to 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 may make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,
Pesi kuti wachita pobwe, tamba bachete, batyokede, balemene aboofu,
14 and you will be blessed, because they have nothing to repay you, for it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the righteous.”
mpawo uyoolongezegwa, nkaambo tabakonzyi kukubbadala pe. Uyoobbadalwa kububuke bwabalule.”
15 And one of those dining with Him, having heard these things, said to Him, “Blessed [is] he who will 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 and He said to him, “A certain man made a great dinner, and called many,
Pesi Jesu wakati kulinguwe, “Umwi mwaalumi wakabaambiila chilalilo mpawo wakatamba biingi.
17 and he sent his servant at the hour of the dinner to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now all things are ready.
Kuchiindi chachilalilo wakatuma mubelesi kuti akatedi kuli bakatambidwe, 'Amusike nkaambo zyoonse zyaba kabotu.'
18 And all began with one [voice] to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I bought a field, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of 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 bought five yoke of oxen, and I go on to prove them; I beg of you, have me excused.
Umbi wakati 'Ndakawula zipani zyabasune zilimusanu, aboobo ndiya kukubasa, nche nsilibambilide pe.'
20 And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I am not able to come.
Uumbi alakwe wakati, 'Ndakakwata mwanakazi, ndaabwiinga aboobo nsikonzyi pe kusika.'
21 And that servant having come, told these things to his lord, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in here.
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 has been done as you commanded, and still there is room.
Mubelesi wakati 'Simalelo, nzuwalayilide zyachitwa, pesi mpubuchili busena.'
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go forth into the ways and hedges, and constrain 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 who have been called will taste of my dinner.”
Nkaambo ndati kulinduwe, tawo naba omwe wabaaba baalumi mbindatambide uyoolabila chakulya changu.'”
25 And there were going on with Him great multitudes, and having turned, He said to them,
Lino makamu aabantu akayinka aawe, lino wakabachebuka wati kulimbabo,
26 “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to 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 carry his cross, and come after Me, is not able to be My disciple.
Kufumbwa uutabwezi chiingano chakwe takonzyi pe kuba soikwiiya wangu.
28 For who of you, willing to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he has the things for completing?
Nkambo awumwi wenu ooyo uyeeya kuyaka bulambo, taakwe nanga wakkala aansi kuti abale nanka ulaazyo zyoonse ziyandikana kuti ayake?
29 Lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may 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 on to engage with another king in war, does not, having sat down, first consult if he with ten thousand is able to meet him who is coming 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 And if not so—he being yet a long way off—having sent a delegation, he asks the things for peace.
Akuti nape, na imwi nkamu yabasinkondonyina kiichili kule, tatumi na sing'enda kuti akatule amjwi aluumuno.
33 So, then, everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be My disciple.
Aboobo woonse utatakati zyoonse nzyali aazyo takonzyi pe kuba sikwiiya wangu.
34 The salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
Mwinyo mubotu, pesi kuti mwinyo wamana kulweela nga ulabweedezegwa biyeni kuti ulweele lubo?
35 It is neither fit for land nor for manure—they cast it outside. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
Tuuchikwe nchuuchibeleka naa akumuse naa manyowa. Ulasowegwa. Ooyo uulamatwi akumvwa, ngamvwe.”
