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.
Sa siit Jehudi naangtongsa di Jisu Pharisi nok hate wasiit phokhoh nok ni phaksat phaksah kata; eno miloong ah ih Jisu ah teptep et ban sok rumta.
2 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
Mih wasiit heh sook nyia heh lah pheng arah Jisu reeni chap wang taha,
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?”
eno Jisu ih Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharasi loong asuh chengta, “Seng Hootthe jun ih Naangtongsa doh mih edeesiit tam tadeesiit thukka?”
4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
Eno neng tumjih uh tajeng rumta. Jisu ih khoisatte ah toonsiit ano deesiitta, eno kaat thukta.
5 And he said to them: “Which of you, finding that his son or his ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?”
Eno baat rumta, “Sen wasiit thandoh sen sah adoleh seng maanpong Jehudi naangtongsa doh habeng nah mok datti abah, sen ih echaan ih erah saasa doh etoonsiit tam tatoonsiit kan?”
6 And they could not make any answer to that.
Eno neng ih erah tiit ah tami ngaakbaat rumta.
7 Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable —
Wenwah loong ih neng tongtheng ese se ah jam rum arah Jisu ih jat ano, heh ih arah tiitthaak tiit ah neng suh baatta:
8 “When you are invited by any one to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place, for fear that some one of higher rank should have been invited by your host;
“O ih bah uh sen kuhoon sadung nah poon han radoh, sen tongtheng eseethoon adoh latong theng. Sen nang ih elong mina uh mok poon et ah,
9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you ‘Make room for this man,’ and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
set wanyi nyi poontte changte ah ra haano mok baat ho, ‘Arah doh arah wah ah toomtong ah eah.’ Eno an ah rakmuurakke ih enum nah dattong jih ang ah.
10 No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you ‘Friend, come higher up’; and then you will be honoured in the eyes of all your fellow-guests.
Erah nang ih, an mih ih poonho doh, kah uno tongtheng enumthoon adoh tongka uh, eno changte ah ra haano toombaat jaho, ‘Ngah jiiwah wang ho, tongtheng ese ko ih tong wangho.’ Erah doh an ah wahoh wenwah loong miksok doh khosoong naaloong ang uh.
11 For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Tumeah o ih heteewah suh elong ih thiik ah erah ehin ih hoon ah, eno o mina ih heh teeteewah suh ehin ih thiik ah erah elong ih hoon ah.”
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 your relations, or rich neighbours, for fear that they should invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
Eno Jisu ih neng poonte wah asuh baatta, “An ih maatok doh rangnih phaksat adoleh rangja phaksat ang koja bah uh mih poon ubah, babah uh an jiiwah adoleh anphoh anno nyia an joonte adoleh ankhuung antok nawa changteng loong ah lapoon theng tumeah neng ih an ewe ngaak poon et ho, eno an ih marah taat koh rumtu erah hephoopho we ih ngaak koho.
13 No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
Sen ih sadung phaksat hoon anbah, changthih, ekoong nyia edook loong ah poon an;
14 and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot recompense you; for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the good.”
eno ba romseetam ah choh an, tumeah neng ih sen suh tajen ngaakthem ran. Rangte ih sen suh heh mina loong tek nawa ngaaksaatja doh ngaakthem han.”
15 One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed: “Happy will he be who shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God!”
Jisu damdi teebun ni roong tongte wenwah wasiit ih erah japchaat ano, Jisu suh liita, “Marah mina Rangte Hasong nah sadung adoh choh roong tongte loong ah tumthan tenroon ang ah!”
16 But Jesus said to him: “A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
Jisu ih heh suh baatta, “Teewadi mih wasiit ih saroom dungnuh ni warep mina lompoonta.
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.’
Eno sadung tok ah chang kano, heh ih heh laksuh asuh wenwah loong ah poonkaat thukta, ‘Wanghan, jirep ah khookham cho!’
18 They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first man 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.’
Eno miloong ah ih wasiit wasiit ih, jaat hoh kaatthet ah diipbaat rum ano tawang rumta. Jaakhothoon poonta warah ih laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Ngah ih phek ena retang erah sokkah ang: ethih nak choh uh.’
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’;
Erah lih dowa wasiit ah ih we liita, ‘Ngah ih maanpong asih retang ah loong ah phek nah phek bok thaak siitkaatte anglang, erah thoidoh tajap ra rang ethih nakthun uh.’
20 while the next said ‘I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
Erah lilih wasiit ih we liita, ngah ih amamah di nga kuhoon tang, erah thoidoh ngah tajen raarang.’
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.’
“Eno laksuh ah ngaakwang ano jaatrep tiit heh changte asuh baat wanta. Changte ah rapne ih khah ano heh laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Echaan ih kah uno lam nawa nyia hadaang hadaang nawa, changthih loong ah nyia ekoong, edook loong ah, ngaak poonkah uh.’
22 Presently the servant said ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’
Erah damdam laksuh rah ih liita, ‘An ih baat hu jengkhaap ah tadaanke, changte, enoothong nok abah balam uh jaachaak dook.’
23 ‘Go out,’ the master said, ‘into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;
Eno changte rah ih laksuh asuh baatta, deek akaan lamrep nah kah uno miloong ah poonkah uh eno nga nok ah eme toom eah.
24 for I tell you all that not one of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.’”
Ngah ih thoontang suh baat rumhala takkhoh taat poon rumtang loong ah rangja phaksat ah nak toom phaksah ra rumha!’”
25 One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them:
Saasiit mih hantek Jisu damdam ih roongkhoom rum adi, heh ih ngaak sok ano baat rumta,
26 “If any man comes to me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and his very life, he can be no disciple of mine.
“O nga jiinni thokte rah nga liphante tajen angka, ngah ah nengnuh nengwah, neng minuh nyia neng sah, nyia neng phoh neng nah, eno neng teeteewah nang ih ehan lamok mongnook rumrang bah ah.
27 Whoever does not carry his own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
O ih neng teeteewah bangphak ah hui ano nga linah lajen roong khoom ra bah nga liphante tajen angka.
28 Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? —
“Sen dowa o ih bah uh nok echoong hoon suh kaankoong anbah, jaakhothoon ah tong uh no ngun mathan taan wang ih chaak rookwet uh eno ba jat uh nok jen hoonjih ngun ah eli tam taliika eah.
29 For fear that, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, every one who sees it should begin to laugh at him,
Emah lah angka bah, an nok thongbeng ah thootcho, thathom doh toohaat jih ih hoon ah; eno mih ih sok ho doh engiit jih ang ah.
30 and say ‘Here is a man who began to build and was not able to finish!’
Neng ih amet li ho ‘An ih an nok ah taat phang hoon uno etoohaat bowe hu nih!
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?
“Luungwang wasiit ih haajaat asih mih ah siit ano luungwang wahoh ih, haajaat rooknyi mih siit arah damdoh rookmui suh, jaakhoh heh ih chaak samthun et ah erathan mina damdoh ejen muujih tam lajen muujih rah ah.
32 And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
Heh ih lajen taaka bah, kongphaak huite daapkaat ano luungwang damdoh chomui ah, eno nuumi hoon raangtaan ih baat ah maang rookmui rumka ngakhoh nah ah.
33 And so with every one of you who does not bid farewell to all he has — he cannot be a disciple of mine.
Erah likhiik ih, “Jisu ih thoonbaatta, “O ang an bah uh jaatrep ah lajen thiinhaat kanbah nga liphante tajen angkan.
34 Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what shall be used to season it?
“Sum ah ese, enoothong sumwaan ah mok thoon abah, lamhoh nawa ih sum ah we ngaak sumthuk jih tajeeka.
35 It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. Men throw it away. Let him who has ears to hear with hear!”
Erah ah hah nah tumjih maak doh tachapka adoleh khaat et suh uh taseeka ang ah; ehaat etjih ba ang ah. Erah thoidi ih chaat et an, sen na je abah ah!”
