Luke 14
1 It happened on the Sabbath Day when he went into the house of a certain ruler among Pharisees to take a meal, that they were watching him.
Nígbà tí ó wọ ilé ọ̀kan nínú àwọn olórí Farisi lọ ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi láti jẹun, wọ́n sì ń ṣọ́ ọ.
2 And lo! there was in front of him a man who had dropsy.
Sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan tí ó ní ara wíwú níwájú rẹ̀.
3 So Jesus questioned the lawyers and the Pharisees, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath Day or not?"
Jesu sì dáhùn ó wí fún àwọn amòfin àti àwọn Farisi pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ láti mú ni láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, tàbí kò tọ́?”
4 They kept silent. Then Jesus took him and healed him and let him go.
Wọ́n sì dákẹ́. Ó sì mú un, ó mú un láradá, ó sì jẹ́ kí ó lọ.
5 And to them he said, "Which of you when an ox or ass has fallen into a well, will at once pull him out on the Sabbath Day?"
Ó sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni nínú yín tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí màlúù rẹ̀ yóò bọ́ sínú ihò, tí kì yóò sì fà á sókè lójúkan náà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi?”
6 They could not answer this.
Wọn kò sì lè dá a lóhùn mọ́ sí nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
7 He told a parable to the guests when he noticed how they began choosing the best seats. He said to them.
Ó sì pa òwe kan fún àwọn tí ó pè é wá jẹun, nígbà tí ó ṣàkíyèsí bí wọ́n ti ń yan ipò ọlá; ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
8 "When you are invited by any one to a marriage-feast, do not sit down in the best seat, lest a guest more distinguished than yourself has been invited, and your host come to you and say,
“Nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá pè ọ́ wá sí ibi ìyàwó, má ṣe jókòó ní ipò ọlá; kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, a ó pe ẹni tí ó lọ́lá jù ọ́ lọ.
9 "‘Give place to this man,’ and then with mortification you proceed to take the lowest place.
Nígbà tí ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ bá dé, a sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Fún ọkùnrin yìí ní ààyè!’ Ìwọ á sì wá fi ìtìjú mú ipò ẹ̀yìn.
10 "But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when your host arrives he may say to you, ‘My friend, come up higher.’ Then you will be honored before the other guest.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a bá pè ọ́, lọ kí o sì jókòó ní ipò ẹ̀yìn; nígbà tí ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ bá dé, kí ó lè wí fún ọ pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, bọ́ sókè!’ Nígbà náà ni ìwọ ó ní ìyìn lójú àwọn tí ó bá ọ jókòó ti oúnjẹ.
11 "For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted."
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ni a ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ni a ó sì gbéga.”
12 Also to his host who had invited him, he continued, saying. "When you are making a dinner-party or a supper, do not invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, lest it chance that they invite you in return, and a recompense be made by you.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún alásè tí ó pè é pé, “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣe àsè má ṣe pe àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tàbí àwọn ìbátan rẹ, tàbí àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀; nítorí kí wọn má ṣe pè ọ́ padà láti san ẹ̀san padà.
13 "But when you make a reception, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣe àsè, pe àwọn tálákà, àwọn alábùkún ara, àwọn amúnkùn ún, àti àwọn afọ́jú:
14 "Then you will be blessed, because they have no means to repay you, but you shall be paid in the Resurrection of the Just."
Ìwọ ó sì jẹ́ alábùkún fún; nítorí wọn kò ní ohun tí wọn ó fi san án fún ọ, ṣùgbọ́n a ó san án fún ọ ní àjíǹde, àwọn olóòtítọ́.”
15 One of his fellow guest who was listening to him, said to him, "Blessed are those who eat bread in the kingdom of God."
Nígbà tí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí wọ́n jọ jókòó gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ó wí fún Jesu pé, “Alábùkún ni fún ẹni tí yóò jẹ oúnjẹ àsè ní ìjọba Ọlọ́run!”
16 Jesus answered. "A certain man was making a great feast to which he invited many guests.
Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan ṣe àsè alẹ́ ńlá, ó sì pe ènìyàn púpọ̀.
17 "At dinnertime he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’
Ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní wákàtí àsè alẹ́ náà láti sọ fún àwọn tí a ti pè pé, ‘Ẹ wá; nítorí ohun gbogbo ṣetán!’
18 "And they all, without exception, proceeded to excuse themselves. The first told him. ‘I have bought a field, and must needs go and see it. Pray have me excused.’
“Gbogbo wọn sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe àwáwí ohun kan. ‘Èkínní wí fún un pé, mo ra ilẹ̀ kan, mo sì fẹ́ lọ wò ó wò, mo bẹ̀ ọ́ ṣe gáfárà fún mi.’
19 "The second said. ‘I have bought five yolk of oxen and am on my way to try them. I pray that you will have me excused.’
“Èkejì sì wí pé, ‘Mo ra àjàgà màlúù márùn-ún, mo sì ń lọ wò wọ́n wò: mo bẹ̀ ọ́ ṣe gáfárà fún mi.’
20 "‘I have taken a wife,’ said the another, ‘and for that reason I am unable to come.’
“Ẹ̀kẹta sì wí pé, ‘Mo ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbéyàwó, nítorí náà ni èmi kò fi lè wá.’
21 "So the slave came and presented all these answers to his master. Then the master of the house was indignant, and said to his slave. ‘Go out, quickly, into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the blind, the lame.’
“Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì padà dé, ó sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún olúwa rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni baálé ilé bínú, ó wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Jáde lọ sí ìgboro, àti sí òpópó ọ̀nà, kí o sì mú àwọn tálákà, àti àwọn amúnkùn ún, àti àwọn arọ, àti àwọn afọ́jú wá sí ìhín yìí.’
22 "And the slave said, ‘My master, your orders have been carried out, but yet there is room.’
“Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa a ti ṣe bí o ti pàṣẹ, ààyè sì ń bẹ síbẹ̀.’
23 "Said the master to his slave. ‘Go out into the roads and the hedges, and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.
“Olúwa náà sì wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà pé, ‘Jáde lọ sí òpópó, àti sí ọ̀nà ọgbà, kí o sì rọ̀ wọ́n láti wọlé wá, kí ilé mi lè kún.
24 "‘For I tell you that not one of those invited guests shall taste my supper.’"
Nítorí mo wí fún yín, ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tí a ti pè, kì yóò tọ́wò nínú àsè ńlá mi!’”
25 Great crowds were along with him, and he turned to them and said.
Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn ń bá a lọ; ó sì yípadà, ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate father and his mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters, yes, and his own very life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.
“Bí ẹnìkan bá tọ̀ mí wá, tí kò sì kórìíra baba àti ìyá, àti aya, àti ọmọ, àti arákùnrin, àti arábìnrin, àní àti ọkàn ara rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
27 "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me, cannot be a disciple of mine.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá ru àgbélébùú rẹ̀, kí ó sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
28 "Which of you who is desirous of building a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, to see if he has the means to complete it?
“Nítorí ta ni nínú yín tí ń pète láti kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́, tí kì yóò kọ́kọ́ jókòó kí ó ṣírò iye owó rẹ̀, bí òun ní tó tí yóò fi parí rẹ̀.
29 "Lest it happen that after he has laid the foundations and is unable to complete it, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him saying,
Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé nígbà tí ó bá fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilé sọlẹ̀ tan, tí kò lè parí rẹ̀ mọ́, gbogbo àwọn tí ó rí i a bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
30 "‘This fellow began to build and could not finish.’
Wí pé, ‘Ọkùnrin yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ ilé, kò sì lè parí rẹ̀.’
31 "Or what king as he goes forth to join battle with another king in war does not sit down first and deliberate whether he can meet with ten thousand men the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand?
“Tàbí ọba wo ni ó ń lọ bá ọba mìíràn jà, tí kì yóò kọ́kọ́ jókòó, kí ó sì gbèrò bí yóò lè fi ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá pàdé ẹni tí ń mú ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún bọ̀ wá ko òun lójú?
32 "If he cannot, while the other king is yet a great way off, he sends an embassy to ask conditions of peace.
Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, nígbà tí onítọ̀hún bá sì wà ní òkèrè, òun a rán ikọ̀ sí i, a sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ àdéhùn àlàáfíà.
33 "Just so any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wù kí ó ṣe nínú yín, tí kò kọ ohun gbogbo tí ó ní sílẹ̀, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
34 "Salt is good, but if even the salt have lost its flavor, with what shall it be seasoned?
“Iyọ̀ dára: ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu, kín ni a ó fi mú un dùn?
35 "It is fit neither for the land nor the dung-hill; men cast it out. He who has ears to hear let him listen to this!"
Kò yẹ fún ilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò yẹ fún ààtàn; bí kò ṣe pé kí a kó o dànù. “Ẹni tí ó bá ní etí láti fi gbọ́ kí ó gbọ́.”
