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.
Nígbà tí ó wọ ilé ọ̀kan nínú àwọn olórí Farisi lọ ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi láti jẹun, wọ́n sì ń ṣọ́ ọ.
2 Behold, there in front of him was a man who was suffering from edema.
Sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan tí ó ní ara wíwú níwájú rẹ̀.
3 Jesus asked the experts in the Jewish law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”
Jesu sì dáhùn ó wí fún àwọn amòfin àti àwọn Farisi pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ láti mú ni láradá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, tàbí kò tọ́?”
4 But they kept silent. So Jesus took hold of him, healed him, and sent him away.
Wọ́n sì dákẹ́. Ó sì mú un, ó mú un láradá, ó sì jẹ́ kí ó lọ.
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?”
Ó sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ta ni nínú yín tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ tàbí màlúù rẹ̀ yóò bọ́ sínú ihò, tí kì yóò sì fà á sókè lójúkan náà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi?”
6 They were not able to give an answer to these things.
Wọn kò sì lè dá a lóhùn mọ́ sí nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
7 When Jesus noticed how those who were invited chose the seats of honor, he spoke a parable, saying to them,
Ó sì pa òwe kan fún àwọn tí ó pè é wá jẹun, nígbà tí ó ṣàkíyèsí bí wọ́n ti ń yan ipò ọlá; ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
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.
“Nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá pè ọ́ wá sí ibi ìyàwó, má ṣe jókòó ní ipò ọlá; kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, a ó pe ẹni tí ó lọ́lá jù ọ́ lọ.
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.
Nígbà tí ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ bá dé, a sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Fún ọkùnrin yìí ní ààyè!’ Ìwọ á sì wá fi ìtìjú mú ipò ẹ̀yìn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a bá pè ọ́, lọ kí o sì jókòó ní ipò ẹ̀yìn; nígbà tí ẹni tí ó pè ọ́ bá dé, kí ó lè wí fún ọ pé, ‘Ọ̀rẹ́, bọ́ sókè!’ Nígbà náà ni ìwọ ó ní ìyìn lójú àwọn tí ó bá ọ jókòó ti oúnjẹ.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Nítorí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá gbé ara rẹ̀ ga, ni a ó rẹ̀ sílẹ̀; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, ni a ó sì gbéga.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún alásè tí ó pè é pé, “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣe àsè má ṣe pe àwọn arákùnrin rẹ tàbí àwọn ìbátan rẹ, tàbí àwọn ọlọ́rọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀; nítorí kí wọn má ṣe pè ọ́ padà láti san ẹ̀san padà.
13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣe àsè, pe àwọn tálákà, àwọn alábùkún ara, àwọn amúnkùn ún, àti àwọn afọ́jú:
14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the just.”
Ìwọ ó sì jẹ́ alábùkún fún; nítorí wọn kò ní ohun tí wọn ó fi san án fún ọ, ṣùgbọ́n a ó san án fún ọ ní àjíǹde, àwọn olóòtítọ́.”
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!”
Nígbà tí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí wọ́n jọ jókòó gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ó wí fún Jesu pé, “Alábùkún ni fún ẹni tí yóò jẹ oúnjẹ àsè ní ìjọba Ọlọ́run!”
16 But Jesus said to him, “A certain man prepared a large dinner and invited many.
Jesu dá a lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan ṣe àsè alẹ́ ńlá, ó sì pe ènìyàn púpọ̀.
17 When the dinner was prepared, he sent his servant to say to those who were invited, 'Come, because everything is now ready.'
Ó sì rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní wákàtí àsè alẹ́ náà láti sọ fún àwọn tí a ti pè pé, ‘Ẹ wá; nítorí ohun gbogbo ṣetán!’
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.'
“Gbogbo wọn sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe àwáwí ohun kan. ‘Èkínní wí fún un pé, mo ra ilẹ̀ kan, mo sì fẹ́ lọ wò ó wò, mo bẹ̀ ọ́ ṣe gáfárà fún mi.’
19 Another said, 'I have bought five pairs of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.'
“Èkejì sì wí pé, ‘Mo ra àjàgà màlúù márùn-ún, mo sì ń lọ wò wọ́n wò: mo bẹ̀ ọ́ ṣe gáfárà fún mi.’
20 Then another man said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'
“Ẹ̀kẹta sì wí pé, ‘Mo ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbéyàwó, nítorí náà ni èmi kò fi lè wá.’
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.'
“Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì padà dé, ó sọ nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún olúwa rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni baálé ilé bínú, ó wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, ‘Jáde lọ sí ìgboro, àti sí òpópó ọ̀nà, kí o sì mú àwọn tálákà, àti àwọn amúnkùn ún, àti àwọn arọ, àti àwọn afọ́jú wá sí ìhín yìí.’
22 The servant said, 'Master, what you commanded has been done, and yet there is still room.'
“Ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà sì wí pé, ‘Olúwa a ti ṣe bí o ti pàṣẹ, ààyè sì ń bẹ síbẹ̀.’
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.
“Olúwa náà sì wí fún ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ náà pé, ‘Jáde lọ sí òpópó, àti sí ọ̀nà ọgbà, kí o sì rọ̀ wọ́n láti wọlé wá, kí ilé mi lè kún.
24 For I say to you, none of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.'”
Nítorí mo wí fún yín, ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tí a ti pè, kì yóò tọ́wò nínú àsè ńlá mi!’”
25 Now large crowds were going with him, and he turned and said to them,
Àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn ń bá a lọ; ó sì yípadà, ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
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.
“Bí ẹnìkan bá tọ̀ mí wá, tí kò sì kórìíra baba àti ìyá, àti aya, àti ọmọ, àti arákùnrin, àti arábìnrin, àní àti ọkàn ara rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
27 Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá ru àgbélébùú rẹ̀, kí ó sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
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?
“Nítorí ta ni nínú yín tí ń pète láti kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́, tí kì yóò kọ́kọ́ jókòó kí ó ṣírò iye owó rẹ̀, bí òun ní tó tí yóò fi parí rẹ̀.
29 Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to mock him,
Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé nígbà tí ó bá fi ìpìlẹ̀ ilé sọlẹ̀ tan, tí kò lè parí rẹ̀ mọ́, gbogbo àwọn tí ó rí i a bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í fi í ṣe ẹlẹ́yà.
30 saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'
Wí pé, ‘Ọkùnrin yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí kọ́ ilé, kò sì lè parí rẹ̀.’
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?
“Tàbí ọba wo ni ó ń lọ bá ọba mìíràn jà, tí kì yóò kọ́kọ́ jókòó, kí ó sì gbèrò bí yóò lè fi ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá pàdé ẹni tí ń mú ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún bọ̀ wá ko òun lójú?
32 If not, while the other army is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for conditions of peace.
Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, nígbà tí onítọ̀hún bá sì wà ní òkèrè, òun a rán ikọ̀ sí i, a sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ àdéhùn àlàáfíà.
33 So therefore, any one of you who does not give up all that he has cannot be my disciple.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wù kí ó ṣe nínú yín, tí kò kọ ohun gbogbo tí ó ní sílẹ̀, kò lè ṣe ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn mi.
34 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again?
“Iyọ̀ dára: ṣùgbọ́n bí iyọ̀ bá di òbu, kín ni a ó fi mú un dùn?
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.”
Kò yẹ fún ilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò yẹ fún ààtàn; bí kò ṣe pé kí a kó o dànù. “Ẹni tí ó bá ní etí láti fi gbọ́ kí ó gbọ́.”
