Luke 14
1 It happened on a Sabbath, when he was gone to eat at the house of one of the rulers, who was a Pharisee, that while the Pharisees were observing him,
Sabbath a pha vaengah Jesuh tah Pharisee boeilu pakhat im ah buh ca la cet. Te vaengah amah te a om thil uh tih a dawn uh.
2 a man who had a dropsy stood before him.
Te vaengah hlang pakhat bungthung aka khueh te a hmaiah pakcak a pawk pah.
3 Then Jesus addressing himself to the lawyers and Pharisees, said, Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?
Te dongah Jesuh loh olming rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek te a doo tih a voek vaengah, “Sabbath hnin ah tloh hoeih sak ham tueng a, a tueng moenih a?” a ti nah.
4 They being silent, he took hold of the man, healed and dismissed him.
Tedae amih loh a hil a phah uh dongah a hoeih sak hlang te a mawt tih a tueih.
5 Then resuming his discourse, he said to them, Who, amongst you, if his ass or his ox fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?
Te phoeiah amih te, “Na ca mai khaw, vaito mai khaw tangrhom ah aka cungku te, Sabbath hnin ah pahoi a doek moenih a?” a ti nah.
6 And to this they were not able to make him a reply.
Tedae te te oelh uh thai pawh.
7 Observing how eager the guests were to possess the higher places at the table, he gave them this injunction,
Hmuensang te mat a laehdawn tih aka tuek, a cael rhoek te nuettahnah a thui pah.
8 When you are invited to a wedding, do not occupy the highest place at table, lest one more considerable than you be bidden,
Te vaengah amih te, “Yuluei kung la hlang khat khat loh n'khue uh vaengah, hmuensang ah ngol uh boeh, anih loh a khue te nang lakah a khoelh la vik om ve.
9 and he who invited you both, come and say to you, Give place to this man; and you should then rise with confusion, to take the lowest place.
Te vaengah nang neh anih aka khue te ha pawk vetih nang te, ‘Anih he hmuen pae dae,’ a ti ni. Te vaengah yah te na poh van vetih a hmuen hnukkhueng te na dang ni.
10 But when you are invited, go to the lowest place, that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher; for that will do you honor before the company.
Te dongah n'khue vaengah cet lamtah hnukkhueng hmuen ah ngol. Te daengah ni nang aka khue te ha pawk vaengah nang te, ‘Paya aw, thoo hang dae,’ a ti vetih na taengkah aka ngol rhoek boeih taengah nang hamla thangpomnah a om eh.
11 For whoever exalts himself, shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself, shall be exalted.
Amah aka pomsang boeih tah tlarhoel vetih amah aka tlarhoel tah a pomsang ni,” a ti nah.
12 He said also to him who had invited him, When you give a dinner, or a supper, do not invited your rich friends, brothers, cousins, or neighbors, lest they also invite you, in their turn, and you be recompensed.
Te phoeiah amah aka khue te khaw, “Buhkoknah neh hlaembuh na saii vaengah, na paya, na manuca, na huiko, na imben kuirhang rhoek te khue boeh. Amih loh namah te n'buhung van vetih kutthungnah loh namah taengla ha thoeng ve.
13 But when you give an entertainment, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind;
Tedae buhloei na tael vaengah khodaeng, kut ngun kho ngun, aka khaem, mikdael te khue.
14 and you shall be happy; for, as they have not the means to requite you, you shall be requited at the resurrection of the righteous.
Yoethen la na om bitni, nang n'sah ham te khueh pawt cakhaw aka dueng rhoek kah thohkoepnah dongah nang ham a sah bitni,” a ti nah.
15 One of the guests, hearing this, said to him, Happy be he who shall feast in the Reign of God.
A yaak uh vaengah aka ngol rhoek khuikah pakhat loh, “Yoethen long te tah Pathen kah ram ah buh a caak ni,” a ti nah.
16 Jesus said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
Anih te khaw Jesuh loh, “Hlang pakhat loh hlaembuh muep a thong tih hlang muep a khue.
17 And at supper time he sent his servants, to tell those who had been invited to come presently; for, that all was ready.
Hlaembuh tue ah tah a sal te a khue rhoek taengla a tueih tih, ‘Ham paan uh laeh, sikim la om coeng,’ a ti nah.
18 But they all, without exception, made excuses. One said, I have purchased a field, which I must go and see; I pray you have me excused.
Tedae a bangtlang la boeih a thaanah uh tih, lamhma kah loh, ‘Lo ka lai tih aka hip la caeh ham a kueknah la ka om. Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'rhoe mai,’ a ti nah.
19 Another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, which I am going to prove; I pray you have me excused.
Pakhat loh, ‘Vaito a rhoi panga ka lai tih, nainong ham ka cet ni, Namah taengah kam bih mai eh, om mai saeh, kai tah ng'hoep mai,’ a ti nah.
20 A third said, I have married a wife; and, therefore, I can not go.
Pakhat bal loh, ‘Yuu ka loh tih ka lo ham coeng mahpawh,’ a ti nah.
21 The servant being returned, related all to his master. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servants, Go immediately into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind.
Te dongah sal te a pawk vaengah tah a boeipa taengla a puen pah. Te vaengah imkung tah kosi a hong tih a sal te, ‘Khopuei kah toltung neh imhlai laklo ah a loe la cet lamtah, khodaeng, a kut a kho aka ngun, mikdael, aka khaem te pahoi hang khuen,’ a ti nah.
22 Afterward, the servant said, Sir, your orders are executed, and still there is room.
Sal loh, ‘Boeipa, nan tueih bangla ka saii coeng dae a hmuen om pueng,’ a ti nah.
23 The master answered, Go out into the highways, and along the hedges, and compel people to come, that my house may be filled:
Te dongah boei loh sal taengah, ‘Khohla longpuei neh vongtung taengah khaw cet lamtah ha kun ham tanolh dae, te daengah ni ka im ah hlang a bae eh.
24 for I declare to you, that none of those who were invited, shall taste of my supper.
Nangmih taengah ka thui coeng, ka khue hlang rhoek loh kai kah hlaembuh ten uh boel saeh,’ a ti nah,” te a thui pah.
25 As great multitudes traveled along with him, he turned to them, and said,
Jesuh te hlangping loh muep a puei hatah, amih taengla mael tih,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters; nay, and himself, too; he can not be my disciple.
“Khat khat te kai taengla ha lo vaengah a napa neh a manu, a yuu neh a ca, pacaboeina neh tanu takhong, amah kah a hinglu khaw a toeng thil bal pawt atah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih.
27 And whosoever does not follow me, carrying his cross, can not be my disciple.
Amah kah thinglam a koh pawt ah kai hnukla aka lo te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first, by himself, compute the expense, to know whether he have the means to complete it;
Nangmih khui lamkah loh imsang sak ham aka ngaih te unim? Lamhma la ngol tih a hnonah te a tae moenih a? Imcoeng ham khueh mai cakhaw?
29 lest, having laid the foundation, and being unable to finish, he become the derision of all who see it;
A khoengim a sut tih coeng thai pawt koinih aka hmu boeih loh anih te pahoi a tamdaeng ni.
30 who will say, This man began to build, but was not able to finish.
hlang loh sak hamla a tong dae a coeng thai moenih,’ a ti uh ta.
31 Or what king, going to engage another king, with whom he is at war, does not first consult, by himself, whether he can, with ten thousand men, encounter him who comes against him with twenty thousand;
Mebang manghai khaw manghai pakhat te a noem tih ni caem la a caeh. Te vaengah ngol lamhma tih a doe ham te thawng rha a om thai atah anih te thawng kul neh paan thil ham a moeh moenih a?
32 that if he can not, he may, while the other is at a distance, send an embassy to sue for peace.
Te pawt koinih voelh a om vaengah rhoepnah ham laipai a tueih vetih a dawt ni.
33 So then, whosoever he be of you, who does not renounce all that he has, he can not be my disciple.
Te dongah nangmih boeih khaw, a khuehtawn boeih aka hlah pawt te tah ka hnukbang la om ham a coeng moenih.
34 Salt is good; but if the salt become insipid, with what shall it be seasoned?
Lungkaeh khaw tui, tedae lungkaeh te khaw a dap atah ba nen lae a hlihlim sak eh?
35 It is fit neither for the land, nor for the dunghill, but is thrown away. Whosoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
Laimen ham khaw om pawt tih, aek lam khaw hoeikhang laklo pawt dongah phawn a voeih uh. Yaak nah hna aka khueh rhoek loh yaa uh,” a ti nah.
