Luke 14
1 One day--it was a Sabbath--He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him.
Chiengʼ Sabato moro, kane Yesu odhi chiemo e od ja-Farisai moro marahuma, nobedo kane ingʼiye ahinya.
2 In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.
To e nyime kanyo ne nitie ngʼato mane bur okuodo ngʼute maduongʼ.
3 This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"
Yesu nopenjo ja-Farisai kod joma olony e chik ni, “En gima owinjore gi chik mondo ochang ngʼato chiengʼ Sabato koso?”
4 They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away.
To negilingʼ thi. Eka nokawo ngʼatno, nochange kendo noweye odhi.
5 Then He turned to them and said, "Which of you shall have a child or an ox fall into a well on the Sabbath day, and will not immediately lift him out?"
Eka nopenjogi niya, “Ka ngʼato kuomu nigi wuode kata rwadhe to wuodeno kata rwadheno olwar e soko chiengʼ Sabato, donge diywaye igole oko mana gikanyono?”
6 To this they could make no reply.
To ne gionge gima digiwachi.
7 Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them,
Kane oneno kaka welo yiero kuondegi mag bet moyiedhi, e kar mesa, nogoyonegi ngero kama:
8 "When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked,
“Ka ngʼato oluongou e nyasi mar kisera to kik ibed e kom moyiedhi, nimar dipo ka ngʼato moro mogen moloyoi oluongi bende.
9 and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, 'Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place.
Ka en kamano, to ngʼama noluongou ji ariyogi ka, biro wachoni ni, ‘Mi jali komi.’ Kamano eka wiyi nokuodi nyaka inidhi ikaw kom kar bet man chien moloyo.
10 On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, 'My friend, come up higher.' This will be doing you honour in the presence of all the other guests.
To ka oluongi e nyasi moro mar kisera kamoro to bed mana e kom man chien moloyo, mondo ka ngʼat moluongino obiro to obiro wachoni ni, ‘Osiepna, sudi malo nyime kama berni!’ Kamano iniyud luor e nyim welo weteni duto.
11 For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted.
Nimar ngʼato angʼata matingʼore malo nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
12 Also to His host, who had invited Him, He said, "When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbours, lest perhaps they should invite you in return and a requital be made you.
Eka Yesu nowachone ngʼat mane oluongeno niya, “Ka ichiwo chiemb odiechiengʼ kata chiemb otieno, kik iluong mana osiepeni, oweteni kata wedeni, kata jogwengʼu momew, nimar ka itimo kamano, kamoro giniluongi chiengʼ moro, mi gichuli kar luong mane iluongigono.
13 But when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;
To ka iloso nyasi, iluong joma odhier, rangʼonde gi pudhe kod muofni,
14 and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous."
eka ibiro gwedhoi kata obedo ni ok ginyal chuloi, to nochuli chiengʼ chier mar joma kare.”
15 After listening to this teaching, one of His fellow guests said to Him, "Blessed is he who shall feast in God's Kingdom."
Ka achiel kuom jogo mane ni kode e mesa nowinjo ma, nowachone Yesu niya, “Ogwedhi ngʼatno mabiro chiemo e nyasi mar pinyruoth Nyasaye.”
16 "A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests.
Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ngʼat moro ne oloso nyasi maduongʼ kendo noluongo welo mangʼeny.
17 At dinner-time he sent his servant to announce to those who had been invited, "'Come, for things are now ready.'
E kinde mar nyasino nooro jatichne mondo onyisi jogo mane oluongi, ‘Biuru, nikech gik moko duto koro oseikore.’
18 "But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him, "'I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.'
“To giduto machalre negichako wacho weche ma ginyisogo wuon nyasi gimomiyo ok ginyal biro. Ngʼat mokwongo nowacho ni, ‘Koro eka asengʼiewo puodho moro, to nyaka adhi mondo anene. Yie ingʼwon-na.’
19 "A second pleaded, "'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am on my way to try them. Pray hold me excused.'
“Ngʼat machielo nowacho niya, ‘Koro eka angʼiewo rweth pur moromo jok abich, to adwaro dhi mondo atemgi, yie mondo ingʼwon-na.’
20 "Another said, "'I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.'
“Eka Jal machielo bende nowacho niya, ‘Eka aa kendo, omiyo ok anyal biro.’
21 "So the servant came and brought these answers to his master, and they stirred his anger. "'Go out quickly,' he said, 'into the streets of the city--the wide ones and the narrow. You will see poor men, and crippled, blind, lame: fetch them all in here.'
“Jatich noduogo kendo nowacho wechego ni ruodhe. Eka wuon ot nobedo mager kendo nowacho ni jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhi mapiyo e yore madongo kod yore matindo mag dala mondo ikel joma odhier gi rangʼonde, muofni kod pudhe.’
22 "Soon the servant reported the result, saying, "'Sir, what you ordered is done, and there is room still.'
“Jatich nowacho ni, ‘Jaduongʼ gima nende ichikowa osetim, to pod thuolo nitie.’
23 "'Go out,' replied the master, 'to the high roads and hedge-rows, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled.
“Eka jaduongʼ nowachone jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhiyo oko e akek yore makalo e kind mier kendo luong ji duto mondo gidonji, eka oda opongʼ.
24 For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'"
Awachonu ni, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuom jogo mane oluongi manobil chiemba.’”
25 On His journey vast crowds attended Him, towards whom He turned and said,
Ji mangʼeny ne wuotho kod Yesu, eka nolokore irgi mowachonegi niya,
26 "If any one is coming to me who does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes and his own life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.
“Ka ngʼato obiro ira, to ok okwedo wuon-gi kod min-gi kod chiege gi nyithinde, owetene gi nyiminene ee, kata ngimane owuon ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
27 No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.
Kendo ngʼato angʼata ma ok otingʼo msalape mondo oluwa ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
28 "Which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, asking if he has the means to finish it? --
“Ka dibed ni achiel kuomu dwaro gero ot. Donge obiro bedo piny mokwongo mondo okwan nengone mondo one ka en gi pesa moromo mar tieke?
29 lest perhaps, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to finish, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him,
Nimar ka oketo mise to ok onyal tieke, ji duto manene biro nyiere,
30 saying, 'This man began to build, but could not finish.'
kagiwacho ni, ‘Jali nochako gedo to ok onyal tieko.’
31 Or what king, marching to encounter another king in war, does not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand?
“Kata ka dibed ni ruoth moro dwaro dhiyo e lweny e kinde gi ruoth machielo. Donge mokwongo onego obed piny mondo opar anena ka ji alufu apar ma en-go bende onyalo kedogo gi jal mabiro monje man-gi ji alufu piero ariyo?
32 If not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends messengers and sues for peace.
Ka ok donyal, to obiro oro joote ka pod jal machielo pod ni kuma bor, mondo onyise ni odwaro mondo giwinjre e yor kwe.
33 Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.
Machalre kamano bende, ngʼato kuomu ma ok oweyo gige duto ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
34 "Salt is good: but if even the salt has become tasteless, what will you use to season it?
“Chumbi ber, to ka ndhathe orumo, ere kaka dimiye obed gi ndhathe kendo?
35 Neither for land nor dunghill is it of any use; they throw it away. Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Ok owinjore ne tich lowo kata mana pidh owuoyo, omiyo ipuke oko. “Ngʼat man-gi it mar winjo wach mondo owinji.”
