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.
Mi fuodima daali danyenli Jesu den kua Falisieninba yudaano yendo yua n den yini o o deni ki baa je.
2 In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.
Yaaba n go den cua ki baa je den kpaagi Jesu. U yianpiebiko daano den ka o nintuali.
3 This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"
Jesu den maadi leni li balimaama bangikaciamo leni Falisieninba yaaba n ye li kani ki yedi ba: “Naani li pia sanu ki paagi o nilo mi fuodima daali bi, bi laa pia yo?”
4 They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away.
Bi den ŋmini suo. Jesu den tandi o nuu ki mubini o yiamo yeni ki paagi o ki cabi o.
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?"
Lani o den yedi ba: “Yi siiga ŋme ya bijua, yaaka o nua, ya baa li caali nni mi fuodima daali, o kan jaligi ki dadi ki ñani o?”
6 To this they could make no reply.
Baa den fidi ki guani o laa maama po liba.
7 Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them,
Jesu den laa ke Falisieni yeni n yini yaaba ban cua ki je yeni lingi ya kalikaani n pia ti kpiagidi ki cie, o den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi:
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,
“O nilo ya yini a mi pocaajiema po, ŋan da gedi ki kali ya kaanu n kpiagi ki cie, lani n tie wan yini yaaba siiga n da ti pia yua ya jigidi n cie a yaadi,
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.
ke yua n yini fini leni wani kuli ya cua, wan da ti yedi a: 'Teni one u kaanu.' Lani i fe baa cuo ŋa leni ŋan baa goa ki ban kali puoli po.
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.
Ama bi ya yini a ke a pundi, ŋan ban kali puoli po ya kalikaanu. A ya tieni yeni yua n yini a ya ti cua o baa yedi a: 'N danli, cua ki kali ya kaanu n cie.' Lani li baa tua apo ti kpiagidi wan yini a yaaba kuli nintuali.
11 For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted.
Yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo U Tienu baa fiini o.”
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.
Jesu go den maadi leni yua n yini o ki yedi o: “A ya yini bi niba ban cua ki je a deni, mi yensiijiema yaaka mi yenjuajiema, ŋan da yini a danlinba, yaaka a kpeliba leni a waamu yaaka yaaba n li kpi leni a kuli, yaaka a yieninlieba siiga yaaba n tie a piada, ke ban da ti goa ki mon yini a ki guani a a ŋanma.
13 But when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;
A ya baa yini bi niba mi jaanjiema po, ŋan yini a luoda leni a tadima leni a waba leni a juama.
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."
Lanwani U Tienu baa ŋanbi apo kelima bani wani kan fidi ki guani a a ŋanma. U Tienu ya ti fiini yaaba n tiendi wan bili yaala bi tinkpiba siiga, o baa guani a ma.”
15 After listening to this teaching, one of His fellow guests said to Him, "Blessed is he who shall feast in God's Kingdom."
Yaaba n den ye u saajekaanu kani yendo n den gbadi laa maama, o den yedi Jesu: “Li pamanli ye leni yua n baa ba ki je U Tienu diema nni.”
16 "A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests.
Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “O nilo den ŋanbi mi jecianma ki yini bi niba boncianla.
17 At dinner-time he sent his servant to announce to those who had been invited, "'Come, for things are now ready.'
Mi jiema yogunu n pundi, o den soani o naacemo n ban yedi wan yini yaaba: 'Cua mani na kelima li bonla kuli ŋanbi ki gbeni no.”
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.'
Ama bi kuli yendo yendo den mia sugili. O nikpialo den yedi o naacemo: 'N daa u kuanu, kali min gedi ki ban la u, ŋan mia npo sugili.'
19 "A second pleaded, "'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am on my way to try them. Pray hold me excused.'
One mo den yedi: 'N da naakpakpaadi piiga, n caa ki baan biigi ba, ŋan mia npo sugili.'
20 "Another said, "'I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.'
Toa moko den tedi: 'N da taa n pua moala na, lani yaapo n kan fidi ki gedi.'
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.'
O naacemo den lebidi ki guani o canbaa kani ki waani o li kuli. Lani o diedaano yeni pali den beni, ke o yedi o naacemo: 'Kua u dogu daamu nni leni u sanu nni ki cuani a luoda leni a tadima leni a juama leni a waba na.'
22 "Soon the servant reported the result, saying, "'Sir, what you ordered is done, and there is room still.'
Lan yen waamu o naacemo den goa ki yedi o: 'Canbaa, n tieni ŋan bi puogi nni yaala, ama u kaanu go sieni.'
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.
Lani canbaa den goa ki yedi o: 'Ña u dogu nni ki gedi a sanbila nni leni a naga balinma, ki tigini bi niba ke ban cua ne ke n diegu n gbie.'
24 For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'"
N yedi yi ke min den kpa yini yaaba yeni, bi siiga baa yendo kan leni n jiema”
25 On His journey vast crowds attended Him, towards whom He turned and said,
A nigola boncianla den yegi leni Jesu o sancenli nni. O den jigidi ki yedi ba:
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.
“Yua n cua n kani, o yaa yie o baa leni o naa, leni o pua leni o bila, leni o kpeliba leni o waamu, baa o yuceli mo o kan tua n ŋoadikoa.
27 No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.
Yua n ki bugi o dapoanpoanli ki ŋua nni kan fidi ki ya tie n ŋoadikoa.
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? --
Yi siiga ŋme baa bua ki maa ki maa li diefoagili ki kan kpa kali ki bandi wan baa biani yaala, ki le o ya pia ya ligi n baa dagidi wan gbeni.
29 lest perhaps, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to finish, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him,
O yaa tieni yeni, o ya pu li tanpuuli ki naa fidi ki juodi. Yaaba n baa le kuli baa ñuadi o ki yedi:
30 saying, 'This man began to build, but could not finish.'
'O jao na cili li diemaali ki naa fidi ki juodi.'
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?
Bi o laa bado n baa ye ki bua ki tuogi bu toabu ki bua ki tuogi leni baditoa ki nan pia toatieba tudapiiga, naani waa ba kpa kali ki biigi o yaa fidi ki biigi o ya baa fidi ki tuogi leni yua n kpendi o kani ki pia toatieba tudapiilie?
32 If not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends messengers and sues for peace.
O ya sua ke o kan fidi, o baa soani o tondiba hali ke yibalo daa ye foagima, ki mia o wan waani o wan bua yaala, ban mangi leni bi yaba.
33 Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.
Li tie yeni, yi siiga yua n ŋa wan pia yaala kuli kan tua n ŋoadikoa.
34 "Salt is good: but if even the salt has become tasteless, what will you use to season it?
Mi yaama tie ya bonla n mani, ama maa luo mi manu, bi baa taa be ki go mangi ma?
35 Neither for land nor dunghill is it of any use; they throw it away. Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
Maa pia mayuli ki tinga po, maa go pia mayuli ti bugidi po, kali ban lu ma bebe. Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi wan gbadi.”
