< 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,
Lwaliga luli lusiku lwa Isabhato, Yesu nagenda mumusi gwo omwi wa abhatangasha bha abhafarisayo okulya ebhilyo, nibhamukengelaga kwa ayeyi.
2 and behold, there was a certain dropsical man before Him;
Imbele yaye aliga alio omunu nanyasibhwaga no obhufwimbe.
3 and Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Yesu nabhusha abhamenyi bhe ebhilagilo bhye Echiyaudi na Abhafarisayo ati, “Ejibha munsonga okuosha omunu kulunaku lwa Isabhato?”
4 And they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], He healed him, and let [him] go;
Nawe nibhajibhila jibhi, kulwejo Yesu namugwata, namuosha nokumuyana omwanya agende eyo kaja.
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?”
Omwene nabhabhwila ati, “Niga unu ali nomwana amo ing'a nilagala mwijibha olunaku lwa Isabhato nasiga okuikululamo bhwangu?”
6 And they were not able to answer Him again to these things.
Mbe abhenene bhatabheye na bhutulo obhwo kusubhya ingulu ye emisango ejo.
7 And He spoke an allegory to those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying to them,
Ejile Yesu amenya nkanikwo abhagenyi bhegegela ebhitebhe bhye echibhalo, nio nabhabhwila echijejekanyo chinu,
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,
“Omunu akakukoka mubhwenga, wasiga okwiyanja kulubhala lwa kuchitebhe chechibhalo, kulwokubha outula okusanga akokelwe omunu we echibhalo okukila awe.
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.
Mbe oyo abhakokele bhona bhabhili akakinga, nabhwila awe ati, 'tela omunu unu echitebhe chaye,' mbe nuwiswala nuwamba okugega omwanya gwa kubhumalisho
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;
Nawe awe bhakakukoka, genda wiyanje olubhala lwa kubhumalisho, koleleki unu akukokele akaja, akubhwile ati, 'Musani, Libhata wiyanje imbele.' ao nio oubhona echibhalo imbele ya bhona bhanu bheyanjile amwi nawe kumeja.
11 because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
Kulwa insonga unu ketula ingulu katelembushwa, na unu kekeya katulwa ingulu.”
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;
Nio Yesu nabhwila unu amukokele ati, “Ukasosha ebhilyo bhya mumwisi amo ebhya kegolo, siga kukoka abhasani bhao amo abhaili bhao amo bhayala bhanyu amo abhakobhe bhao amo abhekashanya bhao abhalibhona, koleleki bhona bhakakukoka ubhone okuliwa.
13 but when you may make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,
Nawe ukakola obhugenyi, nukoke abhataka, abhalema, bhanu bhafuye amagulu na abhaume,
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.”
awe ubhona amabhando. nolwo kutyo bhatakutula okukuliya, kulwokubha uliliwa kubhusuluko bhwa abhalengelesi.”
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”;
Oumwi mu bhanu bhaliga bheyanjile amwi na Yesu kumeja ejile ongwa ago, nabhwila Yesu ati, “Alibhona libhando unu alilya obhugenyi mu bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.”
16 and He said to him, “A certain man made a great dinner, and called many,
Nawe Yesu namubhwila ati, “Omunu numwi akolele obhugenyi bhunene, nakoka bhanu bhafu.
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.
Bhwejile obhugenyi bhwamalilila, natuma omukosi waye owemilimu abhabhwile bhanu bhakokelwe, 'Mbe muje, kulwokubha bhuli chinu cha bheyewo.'
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.
Bhona, nibhamba okusabhwa echigongo. Owokwamba namubhwila omukosi ati, 'Namagula lisambu, nibhusibhusi nigende nijolilola. Mbe mfwila chigongo.'
19 And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go on to prove them; I beg of you, have me excused.
Oundi naika ati, 'Namamala okugula jing'a jokulimila olyanu nilimunjila yokuja ojilegeja. Mbe mfwila chigongo.'
20 And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I am not able to come.
Omunu undi ona naika ati, 'Namamala okutwala omugasi, kulwejo nitakutula kuja.'
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.
Omukosi nasubha nabhwila lata bhugenyi amagambo ago. Mbe kanya nyumba nabhiililwa abhwila omukosi waye ati,' Genda bhwangu munjila na munkondo ubhalete anu abhataka, abhalema, abhaume na bhanu bhafuye emibhili.”
22 And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as you commanded, and still there is room.
Omukosi waye naika ati, 'Lata bhugenyi, ago walagilila gakolekene, na olyanu guchalio omwanya.'
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;
Lata bhugenyi nabhwila omukosi ati, 'Genda kunjila inene nebhijila ebhitoto ubhasinyilishe abhanu bhengile, koleleki inyumba yani ijule.
24 for I say to you that none of those men who have been called will taste of my dinner.”
Kulwa insonga enibhabhwila, atalio na umwi unu aliloja obhugenyi bhwani kubhanu bhakokelwe kubhwambilo.'”
25 And there were going on with Him great multitudes, and having turned, He said to them,
Liijo lya abhanu bhafu lyaliga nililibhata amwi na Yesu, neya nalikebhukila nabhabhwila ati,
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;
“Labha omunu kandubha anye na atalemele esemwene, nyilamwene, omugasi waye, abhana bhaye, abhaili bhaye abhechilume na abhechigasi-yee, nolwo obhulame bhwaye ona- omunu lwoyo atakutula okubha mwiigisibhwa wani.
27 and whoever does not carry his cross, and come after Me, is not able to be My disciple.
Omunu akabhula okwitika omusalabha gwaye akansoka inyuma yani atakutula kubha mwiigisibhwa wani.
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?
Mbe niga unu agati yemwe, unu kenda okumbaka echisonge atakwiyanja ansi okwamba akabhala jigarama ku bhukumi bhwaye, labha anabhyo bhinu kenda okukumisha emilimu jaye?
29 Lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,
Akabhula okulola kutyo, akamala okutulao omusingi naigwa ukumala echisonge, bhona bhanu bhamulolele bhalimuseka,
30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
nibhaika ati, 'Omunu unu ambile okumbaka atana managa go okumala obhumbaki.'
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?
Amo ni mukama ki, unu kenda okuja okulwana obhulemo no omukama oundi, ateyanjile ansi okwamba nabhusilisha ingulu yokumenya ati katula, nolwo ali na abhasilikale bhiumbi ekumi abhokulwana no obhukama bhundi, bhunu bhumwimukiye bhuli na abhanu bhiumbi makumi gabhili?
32 And if not so—he being yet a long way off—having sent a delegation, he asks the things for peace.
Labha jitali kutyo, echise cha abhandi bhaliya bhachali kula, mbe atume omukongya bhateo obhungwani bhwo omulembe.
33 So, then, everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be My disciple.
Mbe kulwejo, wonawona kwimwe oyo atasigile bhyona bhinu alinabhyo, atakutula kubha mwiigisibhwa wani.
34 The salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
Omunyu nigwakisi, nawe omunyu gukabhula omwaya gwago, ejibha kutiki ukukingila gusubhe gubhe munyu lindi?
35 It is neither fit for land nor for manure—they cast it outside. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
Gutakusubha kukola mulimu mumayalu amo nolwo mumboleya; ogulaswa kula. Unu ali na amatwi go kungwa, mbe nongwe.”
