Luke 14
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila limo, Che Yesu ŵajawile kukulya chakulya mu nyuumba ja jumo jwa achakulu ŵa Mafalisayo ni ŵandu ŵaŵaliji pelepo ŵaliji nkwalolechesya.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Ni mmbujo mwa Che Yesu paliji ni mundu jumo juŵaliji ni chilwele cha kuimbangana chiilu.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga che Musa ni Mafalisayo kuti, “Ana Malajisyo gakutusaka kunnamya mundu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila pane ngwamba?”
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Nambo ŵanyawo ŵamyalele. Che Yesu ŵankamwile jwakulwala jo ni kunnamya ni ŵannesile ajaule.
5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
Nipele ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “Ana jwapi jwa ŵanyamwe iŵaga mwanagwe pane ng'ombe jakwe jagwililaga mu chisima ngakujityosya papopo atamuno liŵeje Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila?”
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
Nambo ŵanyawo ŵalepele kwanga.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Che Yesu ŵaweni uŵaŵilanjikwe ŵala yatiteje pakulisagulila pakutama pakuchimbichikwa, nipele ŵaajigenye kwa chitagu chi,
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honourable than you might be invited by him,
“Iŵaga chammilanje mundu kuchindimba cha ulombela, nkatama mmbujo pakuchimbichikwa, panepa apali jwaŵilanjikwe jwine jwakuchimbichikwa kumpunda mmwe.
9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.
Jwambilasile mmwe ni njenu jo chaiche ni kunsalila, ‘Mwalechele aŵa pele peuto pao.’ Pelepo chinkole soni pa ŵandu ni kutanda kusejela ni kutama mu itengu yangachimbichikwa.
10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
Nambo ŵannalikaga ku chindimba, njaule nkatame peuto pangachimbichikwa kuti pachaiche jwambilasile jo ansalile, ‘Ambusanga, nsejelele pambone nnope pa.’ Pelepo chinchimbichikwe mmbujo mwa wose ŵatemi pampepe nomwe.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Pakuŵa jwalijose jwakulikusya, chatuluswe ni jwakulitulusya, chakuswe.”
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbours, or perhaps they might also return the favour, and pay you back.
Nipele ŵansalile juŵanŵilasile jo, “Iŵaga chimwakolochesye ŵandu chakulya cha muusi pane ligulo, ngasimwaŵilanga achambusanga ŵenu atamuno achapwenu atamuno achalongo ajenu atamuno ŵapachiŵandi penu atamuno ŵakusichila ajenu ngakaŵa nombewo chachimbilanga ni kumbuchisya mpela chimwaakolochesye chila.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Nambo pankukulumisya chakulya cha chindimba, mwaŵilanje ŵandu ŵakulaga ni ŵakulemala ni ŵangajenda ni ŵangalola,
14 and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
nomwe chinkole upile, pakuŵa ŵanyawo ngaakola chakumbuchisya mmwejo. Akunnungu champe ntulilo wenu katema pachachasyusya ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu.”
15 When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
Jumo jwao jwa ŵaŵatemi pamo ni Che Yesu ŵatite, “Jwana upile jwele mundu juchaakalye mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Jwapali mundu juŵakulumisye chakulya cha chindimba chachikulungwa ni ŵaaŵilasile ŵandu ŵajinji.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Pajaiche ndaŵi ja chakulya ŵannajisye kapolo jwao kukwaŵilanga ŵandu ŵaŵaŵilanjikwe wo, ‘Njisangane, pakuŵa indu yose ili chile.’
18 They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
Nambo wose ŵatandite kuŵalanga ligongo lya kulepela kwika. Jwandanda ŵansalile kapolo jo, ‘Sumile ngunda, ngusachilwa nyaule kukuulola, ngunchondelela mulechelesye.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
Jwine ni ŵatite, ‘Sumile ng'ombe likumi sya kulima, sambano ndili mwitala ngwaula kukusilinjila, ngunchondelela mulechelesye.’
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
Ni jwine ŵatite, ‘Nombele moŵa gagaga, nipele ngangukombola kwika.’
21 “That servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
“Jwele kapolojo ŵausile ni kwasalila ambujegwe yeleyo. Pelepo nsyene nyuumba jo ŵatumbile, ni kunsalila kapolo jwao kuti, ‘Njaule chitema mmatala gamakulungwa ni matala gamanandi ga musi, nkaichenawo amuno ŵakulaga ni ŵangajenda ni ŵangalola ni ŵalemele.’
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Kanyuma kakwe kapolo jo ŵatite, ‘Ambuje, chimwalajichisye chila chemale kutendekwe mpela imwatite kuunajichisya nambo lisigalile liuto.’
23 “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Nipele ambuje ŵala ŵansalile kapolo kuti, ‘Njaule mmatala gamakulungwa ni mmatala gamanandi ga musi ni kwakanganyichisya ŵandu kwinjila kuti, nyuumba jangu jigumbale.
24 For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
Pakuŵa, ngunsalila kuti ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵandu ŵaŵalalichikwe kundanda ŵala juchapasye chakulya changu cha chindimba.’”
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Pelepo, mipingo jejinji ja ŵandu ŵaliji nkulongana nawo Che Yesu. Nipele Che Yesu ŵagalauchilile ŵandu ni kwasalila,
26 “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
“Yaŵaga kwana mundu jwakwika kukwangu akusachilwa kaje kunonyela une kupunda yakuti kwanonyela atatigwe ni achikulugwe ni ŵankwawo ni achiŵanagwe ni achapwakwe ni achalumbugwe, eloo ni yakuti kulinonyela nsyene, naga ngakutenda yele ngakukombola kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
Ni jwalijose jwangakulijigalila nsalaba wakwe nsyene ni kunguya ngakukombola kuŵa jwakulijiganya jwangu.
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
“Pakuŵa, ana ŵaani mwa ŵanyamwe asakaga kutaŵa nyuumba jeleu, jwangatama kaje ni kuŵalanga ndalama jakwe pakuti alole iŵaga akwete ipanje yakombola kumalichisya?
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Pakuŵa amalaga kutaŵa nsingi ni kulepela kumalichisya kutaŵa nyuumba jeleu jo, ŵandu wose ŵakwilola chatande kunseka
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
achitiji, ‘Aju mundu ju ŵatandite kutaŵa nambo alepele kumalichisya.’
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
“Pane, mwenye chi jwakwaula kukumenyana ni mwenye jwine, jwangakutama kaje ni kuganisya kuti ŵandu ŵakwe ŵangondo mianda likumi chakombole kumenyana ni ŵandu ŵangondo mianda makumi gaŵili wa mwenye jwakwika?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
Ni amanyililaga kuti ngakombola, chachalajisya ŵantenga ŵao kuti ajaule kukuusya yati pakwikanacho chitendewele, kele katema ko jwele mwenye jwine jo ali kwakutalichila.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
Iyoyo peyo, ngapagwa jwalijose jwa ŵanyamwe juchaŵe jwakulijiganya jwangu iŵaga ngaileka yose yakwete yo.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
“Njete jili jambone, nambo njete jasoyesyaga unonye wakwe chintaje chichi kuti unonye wakwe uujile sooni?
35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Ngajikufai kulikose kwa litaka atamuno kwakutenda chajila, ŵandu chajasepe. Jwakwete mapikanilo gakupikanila, apikane!”
