Luka 14
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe wa Thabatũ, Jesũ nĩathiire kũrĩa irio nyũmba ya mũnene ũmwe wa Afarisai, nao andũ maikarĩte mamũrorete mũno.
And it chaunsed that he went into the housse of one of ye chefe pharises to eate breed on a saboth daye: and they watched him.
2 Na hau mbere yake nĩ haarĩ na mũndũ warũarĩte mũrimũ wa kũimba mwĩrĩ.
And beholde ther was a man before him which had the dropsye.
3 Jesũ akĩũria Afarisai na arutani a watho atĩrĩ, “Watho nĩwĩtĩkĩrĩtie kũhonania mũthenya wa Thabatũ, kana ndwĩtĩkĩrĩtie?”
And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawears and pharises sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the saboth daye?
4 No-o magĩkira ki. Nake akĩnyiita mũndũ ũcio, akĩmũhonia na akĩmwĩra athiĩ.
And they helde their peace. And he toke him and healed him and let him goo:
5 Agĩcooka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ wanyu ũngĩaga kũruta mũriũ irima, kana ndegwa yake ĩgwĩte irima rĩa maaĩ mũthenya wa Thabatũ?”
and answered the sayinge whiche of you shall have an asse or an oxe fallen into a pitt and will not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye?
6 Nao makĩaga ũndũ wa kũmũcookeria.
And they coulde not answer him agayne to that.
7 Rĩrĩa Jesũ oonire ũrĩa ageni maathuuraga itĩ iria ciaikaragĩrwo nĩ ageni a gũtĩĩo maikarĩre cio-rĩ, akĩmahe ngerekano ĩno, akiuga atĩrĩ:
He put forthe a similitude to ye gestes whe he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes and sayd vnto the:
8 “Mũndũ angĩgwĩta iruga-inĩ rĩa kĩhikanio-rĩ, ndũgaikarĩre itĩ iria ciigĩirwo ageni a gũtĩĩo, tondũ no hakorwo mũndũ ũngĩ mũtĩĩe gũgũkĩra wĩtĩtwo nĩ mwene iruga.
When thou arte bidde to a weddynge of eny man syt not doune in ye hyest roume lest a more honorable man then thou be bidden of him
9 Kũngĩkĩhaana ũguo-rĩ, mwene iruga ũrĩa ũmwĩtĩte inyuĩ eerĩ no ooke, akwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Eherera mũndũ ũyũ gĩtĩ kĩu.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo, nĩũgaaikara thuutha biũ ũconokete.
and he that bade bothe him and the come and saye to the: geve this man roume and thou then beginne with shame to take the lowest roume.
10 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũngĩtwo-rĩ, ikaragĩra itĩ cia thuutha, nĩgeetha ũrĩa ũgwĩtĩte ooka, akwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrata wakwa, thiĩ ũgaikare harĩa mbere.’ Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkaheo gĩtĩĩo maitho-inĩ ma ageni arĩa angĩ othe.
But rather when thou arte bidden goo and syt in the lowest roume that when he that bade the cometh he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou have worshippe in the presence of them that syt at meate with the.
11 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũrĩa wothe wĩtũgagĩria nĩakanyiihio, na ũrĩa wothe wĩnyiihagia nĩagatũũgĩrio.”
For whosoever exalteth him sylfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth him sylfe shalbe exalted
12 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wamwĩtĩte atĩrĩ, “Waruga iruga rĩa mũthenya kana rĩa hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, ndũgetage o arata aku kana ariũ a thoguo, kana andũ anyu, o na kana andũ arĩa atongu a itũũra rĩanyu; ũngĩka ũguo-rĩ, nao nĩmagagwĩta na nĩ ũndũ ũcio makũrĩhe ũguo ũmekĩte.
Then sayde he also to him that had desyred him to diner: When thou makest a diner or a supper: call not thy frendes nor thy brethre nether thy kinsmen nor yet ryche neghbours: lest they bidde the agayne and a recompence be made the.
13 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa waruga iruga ĩtaga athĩĩni, na cionje, na ithua, na atumumu,
But when thou makest afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde
14 nawe nĩũkarathimwo. O na gũtuĩka matingĩhota gũkũrĩha, nĩũkarĩhwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu makaariũkio.”
and thou shalt be happy for they cannot recompence the. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccion of the iuste men.
15 Na rĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa maikarĩte metha-inĩ hamwe nake aiguire ũguo, akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaarĩa irio iruga-inĩ rĩa ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
When one of them that sate at meate also hearde that he sayde vnto him: happy is he that eateth breed in the kyngdome of God.
16 Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe nĩahaarĩirie iruga inene na agĩĩta ageni aingĩ.
Then sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate supper and bade many
17 Nacio thaa cia kũrĩa ciakinya, agĩtũma ndungata yake ĩkeere andũ arĩa meetĩtwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkai, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ mothe nĩmahaarĩrie.’
and sent his servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy.
18 “Nao othe, o mũndũ akĩambĩrĩria kũheana ciĩgwatio. Wa mbere akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No hĩndĩ ndĩragũrire mũgũnda na no nginya thiĩ ngawone. Thiĩ ũmwĩre andekere.’
And they all atonce begane to make excuse. The fyrst sayd vnto him: I have bought a ferme and I must nedes goo and se it I praye the have me excused.
19 “Ũrĩa ũngĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No hĩndĩ ndĩragũrire ndegwa ikũmi cia kũrĩma, na nĩndĩrathiĩ gũcigeria. Thiĩ ũmwĩre andekere.’
And another sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have me excused.
20 “Nake ũngĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No hĩndĩ ndĩrahikanirie, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndiihota gũũka.’
The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come.
21 “Ndungata ĩyo ĩgĩthiĩ, ĩkĩmenyithia mwathi wayo ũhoro ũcio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mwene mũciĩ akĩrakara na agĩatha ndungata ĩyo akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Umagara narua ũthiĩ njĩra-inĩ iria nene, o na tũcĩra-inĩ twa itũũra, ũrehe athĩĩni, na cionje, na arĩa atumumu, o na ithua.’
And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into ye stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde.
22 “Nayo ndungata ĩyo ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa, ũrĩa wathanire nĩwĩkĩtwo, na no hatigaire handũ.’
And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou comaundedst and yet ther is roume.
23 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mwathi wayo akĩĩra ndungata ĩyo atĩrĩ, ‘Umagara ũthiĩ rĩu njĩra-inĩ na ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda, ũkaringĩrĩrie andũ moke nĩgeetha nyũmba yakwa ĩiyũre.
And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into ye hye wayes and hedges and compell the to come in that my housse maye be filled.
24 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa acio metĩtwo ũgaacama iruga rĩakwa.’”
For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper.
25 Na rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ nĩmatwaranire na Jesũ, nake akĩmahũgũkĩra, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them:
26 “Mũndũ o wothe angĩũka kũrĩ niĩ na aage gũthũũra ithe na nyina, na mũtumia wake, na ciana ciake, na ariũ a nyina, na aarĩ a nyina, o na muoyo wake we mwene-rĩ, ndangĩhota gũtuĩka mũrutwo wakwa.
If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple.
27 Nake mũndũ o wothe ũtegwĩkuuĩra mũtĩ wake wa kwambĩrwo anũmĩrĩre, ndangĩhota gũtuĩka mũrutwo wakwa.
And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple.
28 “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wanyu angĩenda gwaka nyũmba ndaaya na igũrũ-rĩ, githĩ ndangĩamba gũikara thĩ atare thogora nĩguo one kana wĩra na mbeeca cia kũmĩrĩkia?
Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it?
29 Nĩgũkorwo angĩremwo nĩ kũmĩrĩkia thuutha wa gwaka mũthingi, andũ arĩa othe marĩmĩonaga nĩmarĩmũthekagĩrĩra,
lest after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne to mocke him
30 makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũndũ ũyũ aambĩrĩirie gwaka nyũmba akĩremwo nĩ kũmĩrĩkia.’
sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende.
31 “Kana mũthamaki angĩkorwo akiriĩ gũthiĩ kũrũa mbaara na mũthamaki ũngĩ-rĩ, githĩ ndangĩamba gũikara thĩ ecũũranie kana ahota kũrũa arĩ na andũ ngiri ikũmi na mũthamaki ũrĩa ũroka kũmũũkĩrĩra arĩ na andũ ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ?
Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able wt ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him wt. xx thousand.
32 Angĩona atĩ ndangĩhota kũmũtooria, angĩtũmĩra mũthamaki ũcio ũngĩ andũ arĩ o kũraya mathiĩ makamũũrie kũgĩe na thayũ.
Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace.
33 Ũguo noguo, mũndũ o wothe wanyu angĩaga kũrekia indo ciothe iria arĩ nacio, ndangĩtuĩka mũrutwo wakwa.
So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple.
34 “Na rĩrĩ, cumbĩ nĩ mwega, no cumbĩ ũngĩkorwo nĩũthirĩte mũcamo waguo-rĩ, ũngĩcooka gũcamithio ta cumbĩ na kĩ?
Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with?
35 Cumbĩ ũcio ndũrĩ bata gũitwo tĩĩri-inĩ o na kana gũitwo kĩara-inĩ, nĩgũteeo ũteagwo. “Ũrĩa ũrĩ na matũ ma kũigua, nĩakĩigue.”
It is nether good for ye londe nor yet for ye donge hill but men cast it out at ye dores. He yt hath eares to heare let him heare.
