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.
Lishaka limu lya kwoyera, Yesu kagenditi kuliya shiboga kwa yumu gwa walongoziya wa Mafalisayu, na wantu wawaweriti palii waweriti wankumlola handa hakatendi shishi.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Muntu mweni magulu na mawoku gakuwi gatutuma, kamwiziliti Yesu,
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
na Yesu kawakosiyiti wafunda wa Malagaliru na Mafalisayu, “Hashi, Lilagaliru lya twenga lituruusu kuponiziya mulishaka lya kwoyera?”
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Kumbiti womberi watakula ndiri shintu. Yesu kamshinkula muntu ulii na kumponiziya na kamleka kagendi zyakuwi.
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?”
Su kawagambira, “Kwana muntu yoseri pakati penu yakawera na mwana ama ng'ombi yakapatukiliti mulirindi mulishaka lya kwoyera su hapeni kamlaviyi toziya ya lishaka lya kwoyera?”
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
Woseri wasinda shakutakula, su wanyamalira jii.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Yesu kaloliti wahenga wamu ntambu yawasyagula pahala paherepa nentu, su kawagambira woseri mfanu agu,
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
“Muntu yoseri pakakushemerani mumsambu gwa arusi, namlivaga pahala paherepa nentu. Mana pamonga kwana muntu yakawera mkulu kuliku gwenga wamshemera,
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.
Na ulii mwenikaya kakugambili, ‘Gumlekeli shiti ayu.’ Su palii haguwoni soni na hagugendi kulivaga pahala pa upeleru.
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 honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
Ira pagushemelwa, gugendi na kulivaga pahala pa upeleru, su mweni kaya gwaku hakizi kwaku na kukugambira, ‘Ganja gwangu, gwizi uganu, pahala paherepa ng'anji.’ Palii hagupananwi ligoya palongolu pa wahenga wamonga woseri.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Kwa woseri yawalikweniziya hawawasulusiyi, na woseri yawalisulusiya weni hawawakweniziyi.”
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 neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
Shakapanu Yesu kumgambira na ulii yakamshemera, “Handa pagutenda msambu paliwala ama pashiru naguwashemera waganja waku ama walongu waku ama wapakwegera waku, toziya hawakushemeri na gwenga vira, na kwanjira ayi hagupati shilii shagutenditi kwawu.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Gwenga pagutenda msambu, guwashemeli wahushu, na wavibyeketu, na wana lwisi,
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.”
na hagutekelelwi, toziya hapeni wakulipi shilii shagutenditi kwawu. Mlungu hakakulipi gwenga mulishaka lya wantu waheri pawazyuka.”
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!”
Yumu gwa wantu yawalivagiti kulongolu kwa meza kapikaniriti aga, kamgambiriti Yesu, “Mbaka woseri hawawalivagi mumsambu Muufalumi wa Mlungu!”
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Yesu kamgambira, “Kwana muntu yumu yakatenditi msambu mkulu na kawashemiriti wantu wavuwa.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Payiweriti shipindi sha msambu, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wagendi wakawagambiri walii yawashemiritwi, ‘Wizi, toziya kila shintu shiwera kala!’
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.’
Kumbiti wantu woseri, yumu pa yumonga wanjiti kulonga toziya ya kuleka kwiza. Muntu gwa kwanja kamgambiriti ntumintumi, ‘Hemeriti lirambu su nfiruwa ng'endi nukaliloli, su nduwa hapeni nizi.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
Muntu gwingi katakula, ‘Hemeriti wang'ombi lilongu limu na nankugolokera kugenda kuwajera mulirambu, su nduwa hapeni nizi!’
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
Na yumonga katakula, ‘Neni nyuga mdala, su hapeni nizi.’
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.’
“Su ntumintumi kawuya na kumgambira goseri mtuwa gwakuwi. Mtuwa ulii kakalaliti nentu na kumgambira ntumintumi gwakuwi, ‘kanongola gugendi munjira na muvipenyu vya muisi, gwakawajegi wahushu, na wavibyeketu na wanalwisi wavibyeketu wamonga.’
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Pamberi ntumintumi kalonga, ‘Mtuwa, vitwatira vitendeka ntambu yagutakuliti, kumbiti mwana fasi mnumba.’
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.
Su mtuwa kamgambiriti ntumintumi, ‘Gugendi munjira na muvipenyu, guwagambiri wantu mpaka wizi, su numba yangu hayimemi.
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.’”
Nukugambira nakaka kwahera muntu ata yumu pakati pa walii yawawashemeriti hakalambiti ata tyee shiboga shaneni!’”
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Palii lipinga likulu paliweriti lyankugenda pamuwera na Yesu, yomberi kagalambuka na kuwagambira,
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.
“Woseri yawiza kwa neni uganu wawafira tati na mawu wawu, wadala na wana, walongu na wadada wawu, ama womberi, hapeni waweri wafundwa waneni.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
Woseri yawatola ndiri lupingika lwawu weni na kunfata hapeni waweri wafundwa wangu.”
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?
“Handa yumu pakati pa mwenga yakafira kunyawa mnara, kwanja kalivaga huti pasi na kulihola galama zakuwi, pakalola handa kana mpiya zitosha za kumalira lihengu.
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Handa gwahera mpiya, pagunyawiti liyanjiru hapeni guwezi kumalira kunyawa mnara, na woseri pawalola galii gagalawiriti hawakuseki.
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
Womberi hawalongi, ‘Muntu ayu yakanjiti kunyawa mnara kasinda kumalira lihengu!’
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?
“Mfalumi yakawera na wantu elufu lilongu limu pakagenda kumkoma mfalumi yumonga yakawera na wantu elufu malongu mawili, mpaka huti yomberi kalivagi kulihola handa kana makakala ga kuukoma ufalumi umonga.
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
Handa pakahera makakala, hakawatumi wajumbi waliwoni na mfalumi yumonga, kumkosiya mashaliti ga ponga uganu yomberi kankali ka kutali.”
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
Yesu kamaliriti kwa kutakula, “Ntambu ira ayi kwahera ata yumu pakati penu hakaweri mfundwa wangu mpaka huti guleki kila shintu shakaweriti nashi.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
“Munu guherepa, kumbiti munu pagukola ndiri kwahera njira ya kugutenda gukoli kayi.
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.”
Su gufaa ndiri ata pawitira mulitapaka ama kuwera mbotu, hawagwasi kutali. Yakana makutu kapikaniri!”
