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.
Lyubha limo lya Pumulila a Yeshu bhashinkwenda kulya shalya kumui kwa akalongolele bhamo bha Mapalishayo, bhandunji bhapalinji penepo gubhaalolesheyenje kwa kaje.
2 And lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him.
Mmujo jabho a Yeshu ashinkupagwa mundu nnwele shitaka.
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.
A Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje bhaajiganya bha shalia na Mapalishayo, “Ilipinjikwa eu ikapinjikwa kunnamya mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila?”
4 And taking hold [of him] he healed and dismissed him, —
Ikabheje bhanganya bhala gubhatemingene ilili. A Yeshu gubhankamwile nnwele jula gubhannamiye, gubhanneshile aijabhulile.
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?
Kungai gubhaabhushiye, “Munkumbi gwenunji gani mwanagwe eu ng'ombe jwakwe atumbushilaga nniiko, akananshoye pabha Lyubha lya Pumulila?”
6 And they could not return an answer unto these things.
Ikabheje bhangakombolanga kwajaangula.
7 And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, —observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them—
A Yeshu bhakaabhonanjeje bhashemilwenje bhala shibhatendaga kwiagulilanga itengu ya mmujo, gubhaalugulilenje.
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,
“Ibhaga mundu anshemaga kundoa, nnatame pa shitengu sha mmujo, inabha apali juna ashemilwe jwa kupunda mmwe.
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.
Bhanshemilenje bhala shibhajiye kummalanjila, ‘Mwaapiye abha.’ Penepo nkupinga kola oni pa bhandu bhowe nnikwendatama shitengu sha nnyuma.
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.
Ikabhe nshemwaga ntame shitengu sha nnyuma, nkupinga nnyene nyumba ajiyaga annugulile, ‘Ambwiga, nnjiye mmujo muno.’ Penepo nkupinga ishimiywa na bhowe bhatemingene pamo na mmwe.
11 Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Pabha, jojowe akwiikweya apinga tuluywa, na akwiituluya apinga kweywa.”
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.
Kungai gubhaabhalanjile na bhashemile bhala, “Punkuteleka kalamu ibhe mui eu shilo, nnaashemanje ashaambwiga ajenu eu ashaalongo ajenu eu ashaatami ajenu bhalinginji matajilipe, na bhalabhonji bhana kwiya kunshemanga nibha nnipilwe yumwaatendelenje ila.
13 But, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind;
Ikabheje, punkuteleka kalamu, mwaashemanje bhaalaga, bhaalemalanga na ashinangwabha na ashinangalole,
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.
na mmwe shimpate mboka, pabha bhene bhanganyabho bhangalinginji sha kunnipa. A Nnungu shibhampe upo yenu lyubha lishibhayukanje bhandunji bhakwetenje aki.”
15 And one of those reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him—Happy, whoever shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!
Mundu jumo munkumbi gwa bhatemingene na a Yeshu pa shalya gwashite, “Mbaya jwene mundu shalye kalamu mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
16 But, he, said unto him—A certain man, was making a great supper, and invited many;
A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Bhandu bhamo bhashinkuteleka kalamu jikulungwa, gubhaashemilenje bhandunji bhabhagwinji.
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.
Lyubha lya kalamu likaishileje gubhantumile ntumishi jwabho akaalugulilanje bhashemilwenje bhala kuti, ‘Nnjiyangane, indu yowe ili tayali.’
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.
Ikabheje bhowe, gubhatandwibhenje kwiilugula jumo jumo. Jwa ntai gwashite, ‘Njigombola nngunda, kwa nneyo ngunapinjikwa nyende ngaulole shonde bhai, uneshe nyende.’
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.
Na juna gwashite, ‘Njigombola ng'ombe ya lima, majela nng'ano, kwa nneyo ngunakwenda kwiilinga, shonde bhai uneshe nyende.’
20 And, another, said—A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!
Na juna gwashite, ‘Njilomba, kwa nneyo ngaika.’
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.
“Ntumishi jula gwabhujile nigwabhalugulile bhakulungwa bhakwe jene nganijo. Bhayene nyumba bhala gubhatumbele, gubhannugulile ntumishi jwabho, ‘Ujende shangu kumpanda njindo na mmipanda ja pa shilambo pano, ujiyenabhonji nnyumba muno bhalaga, na ashinangwabha, na ashinangalole, na bhaalemalanga.’
22 And the servant said—Lord! what thou didst order, hath been done; and, yet, there is, room.
Kungai ntumishi jula gwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa, innajile ila ndendile, ikabheje mwaatama mwatangu.’
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.
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhannugulile ntumishi jula, ‘Ujende mmipanda njindo na mipanda ja pa shilambo pano ukaashishilishiyanje bhandunji bhajiyangane, nyumba jangu jigumbale.
24 For, I say unto you—Not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of my supper.
Ngunakummalanjilanga mmowe kuti, jwakwapi nkali jumo munkumbi gwa bhunaashemilenje gwantai bhala shapaye shalya shangu.’”
25 And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them—
Penepo, likukute likulungwa lya bhandu gulilongene na a Yeshu. Bhai, gubhaatendebhushilenje bhandunji gubhaalugulilenje,
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.
“Mundu jojowe apinga kubha nkujiganywa jwangu ambinje, kupunda shakutikwaapinga ainagwe na akwabhe na akagwe na ashibhanagwe, na ashaapwakwe na ashaalumbugwe na nkali kupunda shakuti kwiipinga nnyene.
27 Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh after me, cannot be my disciple.
Mundu akaujigale nshalabha gwakwe ningagula akakombola kubha nkujiganywa jwangu.”
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;
Pabha, gani munkumbi gwenunji apingaga kushenga nnala, akatandubha kutama nilola galama jakwe nkupinga amumanye ibhaga akwete mmbiyaya malila?
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,
Inabha atandubhaga kushenga nshingi niilepela kumaliya, bhandunji shibhalolanjebho shibhanng'ekanje,
30 saying—This man, began to build, and was not able to finish!
bhalinkutinji. Aju munduju atandwibhe kushenga, ikabheje ashilepela malishiya.
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.
Eu mpalume jwashi apinga kwenda komana na upalume guna, anatandubhe kutama ni niganishiya ibhaga shakombole na ashimanjola bhakwe elupu likumi limo, kwenda komana na a mpalume bhakwete manjola elupu 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.
Abhonaga akakombola, shatume ntenga kupinga ulele bhakanabhe bhandishila.
33 Thus, therefore, everyone from amongst you, who doth not bid adieu unto all his own possessions, cannot be my disciple.
Bhai nneyo peyo, akapagwa nkali jumo munkumbi gwenunji apingabha nkujiganywa jwangu, akaleshe indu yowe yakwete.
34 Good, therefore is the salt; but, if, even the salt, become tasteless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
“Nnjete ni ja mmbone, ibhaga jikanonye, jitagwe nndi jinonye kabhili?
35 Neither for land nor for manure, is it, fit: outside, they cast it! He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Jikapwaa kwa litaka wala kwa tenda mbolela. Ikabheje pakujijaa kwa taliya. Akwete makutujo apilikane!”
