Luke 14
1 It happened one Sabbath, when he went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees to eat bread, that they were watching him closely.
Sabathni voikhat chu, Pharisee ulien inkhat ina Jisua bu nêk rangin a siela, mîn an enrichika.
2 Behold, there in front of him was a man who was suffering from edema.
Mi inkhat a ke, a bânngei inthing, Jisua kôma a honga.
3 Jesus asked the experts in the Jewish law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”
Jisua'n, Balam minchupungei le Phariseengei kôma, “Ei Balamin Sabathni mi mindam a phal mo, phal mak mo?” tiin a rekel ngeia.
4 But they kept silent. So Jesus took hold of him, healed him, and sent him away.
Hanchu an dâireka, Jisua'n damloi hah a sûra, a mindama, a min se zoia.
5 He said to them, “Which of you who has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
Hanchu, Jisua'n an kôma, tumakhatin a nâipasal mo, a seratchal mo, Sabathnin tuikhura tâk senla, Sabathni nikhomrese, kelsuo kelen no tunui mo? a tia.
6 They were not able to give an answer to these things.
Hannisenla ha chong hah tutên thuon thei mak ngei.
7 When Jesus noticed how those who were invited chose the seats of honor, he spoke a parable, saying to them,
An mi siel ngei mi senkhatin sukmun asa an thang, a mûn chu Jisua'n hi chongmintêk hih a ril ngeia.
8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the place of honor, because someone may have been invited who is more honored than you.
“Mîn inneina ruolhoia nangni an sielin, sukmun asana insung no roi.” nin nêka mi lien uol an sielin chu,
9 When the person who invited both of you arrives, he will say to you, 'Give this other person your place,' and then in shame you will proceed to take the lowest place.
in pumapa no kôma hongin, “Ama hi mun ot roh” tîng a ta mâimôk takin mun innuoina insung ni tih.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
Manêk han, nang an siela anîn chu mun innuoina insung inla, a pumapa hong a ta, no kôma, “Mala, mun asana hong insung roh tîng a ta, hanchu, khuolmingei makunga mirit lông ni tih.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Omlien ngei kai intem an ta, omchîn ngei chu minlutin om an tih,” a tia.
12 Jesus also said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your rich neighbors, as they may also invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
Jisua'n a sielpu kôma khom, “Sûna mo, jâna mo, ruolhoi no tho tikin chu, na malngei mo, na lâibungngei mo, nu sûngsuokngei mo, nu bunga minei ngei mo, siel no roh, nônchu nang siel nôk an ta, nang thuon nôk an tih.
13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
Ruolhoi no thôn chu inriengngei, a ôingei, kholrangei, mitchongei siel roh,
14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the just.”
nang an thuon theiloi sikin sat nang vur sâng a tih, midikngei inthoi nôk tika Pathien'n nang thuon a tih,” a tipea.
15 When one of them who sat at the table with Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”
Hanchu, a khêng otpui inkhatin a chongril a rieta, a kôma, “Pathien Rêngrama ruolhoia insung rang ngei chu idôra râisân a om rang mo na!” a tia.
16 But Jesus said to him, “A certain man prepared a large dinner and invited many.
Jisua'n a kôma, “Mi inkhatin ruolhoi roiinpui tak a minsûka, mi tamtak a siela,
17 When the dinner was prepared, he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, 'Come, because everything is now ready.'
anêk zora tikin chu a mi siel ngei kôma, ‘Hong ta roi jâttin ânzoi zoi,’ iti rangin a tîrlâm a tîra.
18 They all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please excuse me.'
Hanchu an rêngin inlêmna an nei chita, A motontak han a kôma, ‘Loi ko rochôka, a en ke se rang, ni muduol roh,’ a tia.
19 Another said, 'I have bought five pairs of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.'
Mi dangin, seratchal bop rangnga ko rochôka, a enmindik rangin ke se rang ani, ni lei muduol roh,” a tia.
20 Then another man said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'
Mi dangin, “inkenei suobil kêng ania, masikin hong thei no ning,” a tia.
21 The servant came and told his master these things. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in here the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.'
Ma tîrlâm hah a se sirin chu a pu a rila. A pumapa hah a takasia, a tîrlâm kôm, “Se lalai inla, kotmâingeia, lamlienngeia, inriengngei, a ôingei, mitchongei, kholrangei hongtuong ngei roh,” a tia.
22 The servant said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and yet there is still room.'
Tîrlâm han a kôma, “O, pu ni ti anghan ko thoa, ania, mun tamtak a la tong” a tia.
23 The master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Hanchu a pûn, a tîrlâm kôma han, “Sênla, lamliena, lamkêma mingei, ki in sipna rangin hongtuong lût roh.
24 For I say to you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'”
Nang ki ril, mi ki siel ngei han tutên ka ruolhoia sâk noni ngei a ti,” a tia.
25 Now large crowds were going with him, and he turned and said to them,
Voikhat chu mipui tampa Jisua leh an inruoia, an tieng ânheia, an kôma,
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
“Tutu a nû le a pa, a lômnu le a nâingei, a lâibungngei le a sarnungei, le ama takpum nêka, lungkham mi mu uol nônchu, ko kôma hongin ku ruoisi nithei no nih.
27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Tukhom ama khros ruputa mi jûi loipu chu ka ruoisingei nithei no nih,” a tia.
28 For which of you who desires to build a tower does not first sit down and count the cost to calculate if he has what he needs to complete it?
Tumakhatin in insâng sin rang bôk senla, insungin a sin zoina rang sum a dôn le dônloi mindon bak a tih.
29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to mock him,
Lungphûm a phûm suole, zoi thei khâi tano senla, a mu nâmin munuisan an tih.
30 saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'
A in sin a phut nâka chu, zoi thei khâi mak tîng an tih.
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take advice about whether he is able with ten thousand men to fight the other king who comes against him with twenty thousand men?
Hanchu, tu rêng mo, a mi isângsôm leh rêng danga mi isângsômnik leh ama doi ranga juong, a ngam rang le ngamloi rang, insungin a mindon bak loi rang?
32 If not, while the other army is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for conditions of peace.
A doi ngamloi rangin chu, alazana an la om lâiin, inngêina sin rangin thangthei tîr a tih.
33 So therefore, any one of you who does not give up all that he has cannot be my disciple.
Ma anghan, tutu nangni khom a nei murdi a mâk riei nônchu ku ruoisi ni thei no tunui.
34 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?
“Michi hi asa, ania, a alna boi ta senla chu, min al nôk thei ni khâi mak.
35 It is of no use for the soil or even for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Pil rang khomin, ur rang khom sa mak, vôrpai rang vai kêng. Kuor nin dônin chu rangâi roi,” a tia.
