Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly watching him.
Lwaliga luli lusiku lwa Isabhato, Yesu nagenda mumusi gwo omwi wa abhatangasha bha abhafarisayo okulya ebhilyo, nibhamukengelaga kwa ayeyi.
2 And lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him.
Imbele yaye aliga alio omunu nanyasibhwaga no obhufwimbe.
3 And Jesus, answering, spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees, saying—Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to cure, or not? But, they, held their peace.
Yesu nabhusha abhamenyi bhe ebhilagilo bhye Echiyaudi na Abhafarisayo ati, “Ejibha munsonga okuosha omunu kulunaku lwa Isabhato?”
4 And taking hold [of him] he healed and dismissed him, —
Nawe nibhajibhila jibhi, kulwejo Yesu namugwata, namuosha nokumuyana omwanya agende eyo kaja.
5 and, unto them, said—Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest?
Omwene nabhabhwila ati, “Niga unu ali nomwana amo ing'a nilagala mwijibha olunaku lwa Isabhato nasiga okuikululamo bhwangu?”
6 And they could not return an answer unto these things.
Mbe abhenene bhatabheye na bhutulo obhwo kusubhya ingulu ye emisango ejo.
7 And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, —observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them—
Ejile Yesu amenya nkanikwo abhagenyi bhegegela ebhitebhe bhye echibhalo, nio nabhabhwila echijejekanyo chinu,
8 Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been invited by him,
“Omunu akakukoka mubhwenga, wasiga okwiyanja kulubhala lwa kuchitebhe chechibhalo, kulwokubha outula okusanga akokelwe omunu we echibhalo okukila awe.
9 and he that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee—Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy.
Mbe oyo abhakokele bhona bhabhili akakinga, nabhwila awe ati, 'tela omunu unu echitebhe chaye,' mbe nuwiswala nuwamba okugega omwanya gwa kubhumalisho
10 But, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee—Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together with thee.
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 exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Kulwa insonga unu ketula ingulu katelembushwa, na unu kekeya katulwa ingulu.”
12 Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, —Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, —lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee.
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, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind;
Nawe ukakola obhugenyi, nukoke abhataka, abhalema, bhanu bhafuye amagulu na abhaume,
14 and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in the resurrection of the righteous.
awe ubhona amabhando. nolwo kutyo bhatakutula okukuliya, kulwokubha uliliwa kubhusuluko bhwa abhalengelesi.”
15 And one of those reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him—Happy, whoever shall 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 But, he, said unto him—A certain man, was making a great supper, and invited many;
Nawe Yesu namubhwila ati, “Omunu numwi akolele obhugenyi bhunene, nakoka bhanu bhafu.
17 and he sent out his servant, at the hour of the supper, to say unto the invited—Be coming! because, even now, is it, ready.
Bhwejile obhugenyi bhwamalilila, natuma omukosi waye owemilimu abhabhwile bhanu bhakokelwe, 'Mbe muje, kulwokubha bhuli chinu cha bheyewo.'
18 And they all began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him—A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold me excused.
Bhona, nibhamba okusabhwa echigongo. Owokwamba namubhwila omukosi ati, 'Namagula lisambu, nibhusibhusi nigende nijolilola. Mbe mfwila chigongo.'
19 And, another, said—Five yoke of oxen, have I bought, and am going my way to prove them; I request thee, hold me excused.
Oundi naika ati, 'Namamala okugula jing'a jokulimila olyanu nilimunjila yokuja ojilegeja. Mbe mfwila chigongo.'
20 And, another, said—A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!
Omunu undi ona naika ati, 'Namamala okutwala omugasi, kulwejo nitakutula kuja.'
21 And, going near, the servant reported unto his lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the master of the house said unto his servant—Go out quickly, into the broadways and streets of the city, —and, the destitute, and tried, and blind, and lame, bring thou 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! what thou didst order, hath been done; and, yet, there is, room.
Omukosi waye naika ati, 'Lata bhugenyi, ago walagilila gakolekene, na olyanu guchalio omwanya.'
23 And the lord said unto the servant—Go out among the highways and fences, and compel them 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 unto you—Not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of my supper.
Kulwa insonga enibhabhwila, atalio na umwi unu aliloja obhugenyi bhwani kubhanu bhakokelwe kubhwambilo.'”
25 And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them—
Liijo lya abhanu bhafu lyaliga nililibhata amwi na Yesu, neya nalikebhukila nabhabhwila ati,
26 If anyone cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, further also, even his own life, he cannot 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 Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh after me, cannot be my disciple.
Omunu akabhula okwitika omusalabha gwaye akansoka inyuma yani atakutula kubha mwiigisibhwa wani.
28 For, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, —whether he hath sufficient for completion;
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 once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should begin to mock at 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, moving on to encounter, another king, in battle, will not sit down first and take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who, with twenty thousand, is coming against him.
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, by any means, while he is yet afar off, he sendeth, an embassy, and requesteth the conditions of peace.
Labha jitali kutyo, echise cha abhandi bhaliya bhachali kula, mbe atume omukongya bhateo obhungwani bhwo omulembe.
33 Thus, therefore, everyone from amongst you, who doth not bid adieu unto all his own possessions, cannot be my disciple.
Mbe kulwejo, wonawona kwimwe oyo atasigile bhyona bhinu alinabhyo, atakutula kubha mwiigisibhwa wani.
34 Good, therefore is the salt; but, if, even the salt, become tasteless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Omunyu nigwakisi, nawe omunyu gukabhula omwaya gwago, ejibha kutiki ukukingila gusubhe gubhe munyu lindi?
35 Neither for land nor for manure, is it, fit: outside, they cast it! He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Gutakusubha kukola mulimu mumayalu amo nolwo mumboleya; ogulaswa kula. Unu ali na amatwi go kungwa, mbe nongwe.”
