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,
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 dropsical man before Him;
Palongolo ya Yesu avi mundu mweavi na utamu wa kuhimba higa
3 and Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
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 were silent, and having taken hold of [him], He healed him, and let [him] go;
Nambu vene vakaguna. Yesu akamtola mundu yula na kumlamisa, akamleka ahambayi.
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?”
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 were not able to answer Him again to these things.
Nambu vene nakuhotola kumyangula.
7 And He spoke an allegory to those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying to them,
Yesu akavalola vavagongoliwi chavajihagulila vigoda vya palongolo, ndi akavajovela,
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,
“Ngati mundu akugongolili, kundowa ukotoka kutama pavigoda vya palongolo, Pangi agongoliwi yungi mkulu kuliku veve.
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.
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 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;
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 because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
Muni mundu yoyoha mweakujikwiha yati iheleswa, na yeyoha mweakujihelesa yati ikwihiwa.”
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;
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 may make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, blind,
Nambu peundelekela chakulya cha mselebuko, vagongolela vangangu na vevagogodili higa vangagenda na vangalola,
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.”
na veve yati umotisiwa muni uvagongolili vangahotola kukuwuyisila. Nambu Chapanga yati akuwuyisila gabwina mu ligono la kuyukiswa vandu vabwina.”
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”;
Mmonga wa vala vavatamili na Yesu pameza, akajova amotisiwa mundu yula mweibwela kuyla chakulya cha mselebuko Muunkosi wa Chapanga!
16 and He said to him, “A certain man made a great dinner, and called many,
Yesu akamjovela, “Mundu mmonga atendekili mselebuko uvaha, na kuvagongolela vandu vamahele.
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.
Palwahiki lukumbi lwa kulya, amtumili mvanda waki akavakemela vevagongoliwi, ‘Mbwela, kila chindu chitendelekiwi!’
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.
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 bought five yoke of oxen, and I go on to prove them; I beg of you, have me excused.
Na yungi akajova, ‘Niguli ng'ombi kumi za kulimila nihamba kuzilinga kulima chondi unilekekesa.’
20 And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I am not able to come.
Na yungi akajova, ‘Nigegili mdala ndava ya genago, nakuhotola kubwela.’”
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.
“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 has been done as you commanded, and still there is room.
Mtumisi yula Paawuyili kuhuma kweatumiwili akamjovela, ‘Bambu, goha geukalagizi gahengiki, nambu pakona pandu pakutama vandu.’
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;
Bambu yula akamjovela mvanda. Uhamba munjila yivaha na tunjila twa muji, ukavakamula vandu kuyingila munyumba yangu yimema.
24 for I say to you that none of those men who have been called will taste of my dinner.”
Nikuvajovela nyenye, voha vevatumbwili kugongolewa, kawaka hati mmonga, mweimywanga chakulya cha mselebuko wangu!”
25 And there were going on with Him great multitudes, and having turned, He said to them,
Msambi wa vandu walongosini na Yesu, mwene akang'anamuka na kuvajovela,
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;
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 whoever does not carry his cross, and come after Me, is not able to be My disciple.
Mundu yoyoha yula mwangagega msalaba waki na kunilanda mwenuyo nakuhotola kuvya muwuliwa 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?
Wu, yani pagati yinu mweigana kujenga mnala nakutama hoti pahi, kuvalanga mashonga kumanya ngati avi nagu gegitosha kumalakisa kujenga?
29 Lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may 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 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?
“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 And if not so—he being yet a long way off—having sent a delegation, he asks the things for peace.
Ngati amanyili kuvya nakuhotola, yati avatuma vajumbi kuyupa vakotoka kutova, lukumbi nkosi yungi akona kutali.
33 So, then, everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be My disciple.
Mewawa,” Kawaka mundu mweihotola kuvya muwuliwa wangu, changaleka vindu vyoha vye avi navyu.
34 The salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what will 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 land nor for manure—they cast it outside. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
Yabwina lepi kusopewa muludaka amala mabuli. Vandu vakuyitaga kuvala. Mundu mweavi na makutu na ayuwana!”
