Luke 14
1 On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely.
lulyahumile ikighono ikya Sabati. yeiluta kukaja ja jumo juno aale n'gooyo ghwa Vafalisayi kulia un'kate, vope vakale vivaanda pipi na pipi.
2 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
pavulongolo pa mwene pwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ni nhaamu ja kufimba.
3 “Is it allowable,” said Jesus, addressing the students of the Law and the Pharisees, “to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?”
uYesu akavaposia avaagula ndaghilo isa vayahudi na vafarisayi. “ndaani, lunono kusosia umuunhu pakighono kya Sabaati, asi vuli?”
4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
neke avene vakava kimie, pe, uYesu akan'koola. akan'sosia na pikun'tavula alutaghe.
5 And he said to them, “Which of you, finding that your son or your ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull them out on the Sabbath day?”
ghwope akavavuula akati,” ghweveni mukipugha kiinu juno ali nu mwana nambe ing'ombe jingaghwilile muliina ku kighono kya Sabati naikujisuuvula ng'hani ng'hani?”
6 And they could not make any answer to that.
aveene valyale vasila ngufu isakwamula ghano ghano vavaposisie.
7 Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable –
un'siki ghuno uYesu alyakagwile kwiti vala vano valyaghogholilue kwiti vasalwile ifitengo vwoghopua. avavula ikihwani akati, “
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place. Someone of higher rank might have been invited by your host;
ye mughongolua nu muunhu uya vutolani, nungikalaghe mufitengo fya vavaha. ulwakuva nukagwile kuti,
9 and the host who invited you both will come and say to you ‘Make room for this person,’ and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
pano aghongolilue umuunhu juno ghwe mwoghopua kyongo kukila uve. un'siki ghughuo umuunhu juno avaghongolile
10 No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when the host who has invited you comes, he may say to you ‘Friend, come higher up’; and then you will be honored in the eyes of all your fellow guests.
neke uve ungaghongolue, usalulaghe uvukalo vwa kuvusililo, kuvaanga neke kyande ikwiisa juno akungongolile ghwemwene atisaghe uve manyani, kila ghukale kuvulongolo. apuo ghuuva mwoghopua ku vano valipalikimo nuuve pamesa.
11 For everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and everyone who humbles themselves will be exalted.”
ulwakuva juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamwisia, juno ikujisia ghwe ighinisivua.
12 Then Jesus went on to say to the man who had invited him, “When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not ask your friends, or your brothers or sisters, or your relatives, or rich neighbors, because they might invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
Yesu kange akam'bula umuunhu juno umughongolile, 'pano ghukumpela ikyakulia kya pamwisi nambe ikya pakivwilile, ulekaghe pighongola avamanyani vaako nambe avanyalukolo vaako, nambe avanyakisina vaako, nambe avabading'hani vaako avamofu neke kwiiti avene valeke pikukughongola uve uhombe.
13 No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
neke lino pano ghuvomba ikikulukulu, vaghongolaghe avamofu, avalema, na vavoofu,
14 and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot reward you; for you will be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.”
najuve ghufunyua, ulwakuva naviwesia kuhomba. ulwakuva ghuhombua muvusyukua vwa vanya kyang'haani.
15 One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed, “Happy will be the person who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”
un'siki huno jumonga mu vala vano vakikalile pamesa palikimo nu Yesu ati apulike aghuo, ghwope akavavula akati,” afunyilue jula juno ilia un'kate mu vutwa vwa Nguluve”.
16 But Jesus said to him, “A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
neke uYesu akavavula akati,” umuunhu jumonga akavombile ikikulukulu ikikome, akaghongola avaanhu vinga,
17 and sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
un'siki ghuno ikikulukulu kifikile, akansung'ile um'bombi ghwake kukuvavula vano avaghongolilue, 'mwise, ulwakuva ifinu fyoni fivikilue tayale
18 They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first said to the servant ‘I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me excused.’
vooni vakatengula kukunsuuma avasungukile ughwa kwanda akati 'nighulile umughunda nilonda nilute nikaghulole. sivuo usaghile,
19 The next said ‘I have bought five pairs of bullocks, and I am on my way to try them. I must ask you to consider me excused’;
ghwope ujunga akati, 'nighulile ing'ombe ihaano najune nilute kughela. sivuo usaghile.
20 while the next said ‘I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
na ju muunhu ujunge akati, 'nihumile pitoola un'dala pe lino naniwesia pikwisa.
21 On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant ‘Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.’
um'bombi akagomoka na kukum'bula um'baha ghwake aghuo. unyanyumba jula akakalile akam'bula um'bombi ghwake,' luta ng'hani ng'hani mumpulo na mufisila fino filuta mufikaaja fya vaanhu ukavalete apa avakotofu, avalema. vano navilola na vabofu”.
22 Presently the servant said ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’
um'bombi ghwake akati, ntwa aghuo ghano unilaghisie ghavombike, nambe lino ikyakulia kisighiile.
23 ‘Go out,’ the master said, ‘into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;
untwa akam'bula um'bombi akati, luta kusila ijansevo na mufisila fino filuta mumakaaja gha vaanhu ukavapelepesie avaanhu vingile neke inyumba jango jimeme.
24 for I tell you all that not one of those people who were invited will taste my dinner.’”
ulwakuva nikuvavula, mu vala vano vaghongolilue ulwa kwanda nakwale juno ilivonja ikikulukulu kyango.
25 One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them,
lino ulukong'ano ulukume valyale viluta naghwo. ghwope akadyetuka akavavula kuuti,
26 “If any one comes to me and does not hate their father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and even their life, he can be no disciple of mine.
ndeve umuunhu ikwisa kulyune ghwope naikunkalalila ubaba ghwa ghwake, ungiina ghwake, avaanha vaake, avanyalukolo vaake avaghosi na vadala Ena, na vu vwumi vwake kange navuwesia kuva vavulanisivua vango.
27 Whoever does not carry their own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
umuunhu nave naitoola ikikovekano kyake na kukwisa kunsana jango naiwesia kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.
28 Why, which of you, when you want to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if you have enough to complete it? –
ulwakuva ghwe veni mu lyumue, juno ilonda kujenga kujenga aikela kutengula kiisatala iling'hanie taasi alole indalama neke alole kukughenia aghuo.
29 Otherwise, if you have laid the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will laugh at you,
nave naiovomba aghuo neke kyande ijenga uvwalo angakunue pimalisia. vooni vano vilola vitengula piseka,
30 and say ‘Here is a person who began to build and was not able to finish!’
vitisagha, umuunhu uju akatengwile kujenga, akunilue kumalikisia.
31 Or what king, when he is setting out to fight another king, does not first sit down and consider if with ten thousand men he is able to meet one who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
neke ghwe Ntwa muki, jno ilonda kuluta kutovana nu Ntwa ujunge mu vwiite, juno naikukala paasi taasi neke asaghe nave akwiline kutovana, palikimo na vaanhu imbilima kijigho kimo kutovana nu junge juno ikwisa kwa mwene na vaanhu imbilima fijigho fivili?
32 And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
ndeve evuo ililugu lya vange pano lijighe lilikuvutali, likunsung'a untwa kusuuma ulwiho lya lutengano.
33 And so with everyone of you who does not bid farewell to all you have – you cannot be a disciple of mine.
kwekuti lino, juno nailonda kukufleka fyooni fino alinafyo. nangawesie kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.
34 Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what will be used to season it?
umwinyo nnono, neke nave ghunangike ghuvombela kiki neke ghuve mwinyo kange?
35 It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. People throw it away. Let those who have ears to hear with hear!”
naghuva mwinyo ghwa kulunga nambe kuva mbolela. kange kutaghua kuvutali. umwene unya mbughulutu aghakupulika na apulikaghe”.
