Luka 14

1 Wata ranar Asabbaci, da Yesu ya shiga gidan wani sanannen Bafarisiye don cin abinci, sai mutane suka zuba masa ido da kyau.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that they were watching him.

2 A nan a gabansa kuwa akwai wani mutum mai ciwon kumburin ƙafa da hannu.

And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.

3 Sai Yesu ya tambayi masanan dokoki da Farisiyawa ya ce, “Daidai ne bisa ga doka, a yi warkarwa a ranar Asabbaci, ko babu?”

And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4 Amma ba su ce kome ba. Sai ya riƙe mutumin, ya warkar da shi, sa’an nan ya sallame shi.

But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

5 Sai ya tambaye, su ya ce, “In wani a cikinku yana da ɗa, ko bijimi da ya faɗa a rijiya a ranar Asabbaci, ba za ku cire shi nan da nan ba?”

And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

6 Suka rasa abin faɗi.

And they were not able to answer him to these things.

7 Da ya lura da yadda baƙi suna zaɓan wuraren zama masu bangirma a tebur, sai ya faɗa musu wannan misali, ya ce;

And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

8 “In wani ya gayyace ka bikin aure, kada ka zaɓi wurin zama mai bangirma, don wataƙila akwai wani da ya fi ka girma, da aka gayyata.

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

9 In kuwa haka ne, wanda ya gayyace duk biyunku, zai zo ya ce maka, ‘Ka ba wa mutumin nan wurin zamanka.’ Ka ga, an ƙasƙantar da kai, kuma dole ka ɗauki wuri mafi ƙasƙanci.

and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

10 Amma in an gayyace ka, ɗauki wuri mafi ƙasƙanci, don in wanda ya gayyace ka ya zo, zai ce maka, ‘Ka hawo nan aboki a wuri mafi girma.’ Wannan zai ɗaukaka ka a gaban dukan’yan’uwanka baƙi.

But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

11 Gama duk wanda ya ɗaukaka kansa, za a ƙasƙantar da shi. Shi wanda kuma ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, za a ɗaukaka shi.”

for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

12 Sai Yesu ya ce wa wanda ya gayyace shi, “Lokacin da ka shirya biki ko liyafa, kada ka gayyaci abokanka, ko’yan’uwanka, ko danginka, ko kuma maƙwabtanka masu arziki, gama in ka yi haka, suna iya gayyatarka, su biya maka alherin da ka yi musu.

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

13 Amma lokacin da ka kira biki, ka gayyaci matalauta, da guragu, da shanyayyu, da makafi.

But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:

14 Ta haka, za ka sami albarka. Ko da yake ba za su iya biyan ka ba, za a biya ka a ranar tashin masu adalci daga matattu.”

and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

15 Da jin haka, sai wani da yake tare da shi a tebur ɗin, ya ce wa Yesu, “Mai albarka ne wanda zai ci abinci a bikin nan a mulkin Allah.”

And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Yesu ya amsa ya ce, “Wani mutum yana shirya wani babban biki, ya kuma gayyaci baƙi da yawa.

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

17 Da lokacin bikin ya yi, sai ya aiki bawansa ya je ya ce wa waɗanda aka gayyata, ‘Ku zo, don an shirya kome.’

And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

18 “Amma sai dukansu suka fara ba da hujjoji. Na farkon ya ce, ‘Na sayi gona yanzun nan, dole in je in ga yadda take, ina roƙonka ka yi mini haƙuri.’

And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

19 “Wani ya ce, ‘Na sayi shanun noma guda goma yanzun nan, ina kan hanyata ke nan in gwada su, ina roƙonka, ka yi mini haƙuri.’

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

20 “Har yanzu wani ya ce, ‘Na yi aure yanzun nan, don haka ni ba zan iya zuwa ba.’

And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

21 “Bawansa ya dawo ya gaya wa maigidansa wannan. Sai maigidan ya yi fushi, ya ba da umarni ga bawansa ya ce, ‘Ka fita da sauri, ka bi titi-titi da lungu-lungu na garin, ka kawo matalauta, da guragu, da makafi, da shanyayyu.’

And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

22 “Bawan ya dawo ya ce, ‘Ranka yă daɗe, an yi abin da ka umarta, amma har yanzu da sauran wuri.’

And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

23 “Maigidan ya ce wa bawansa, ‘Ka je kan hanyoyin da layi-layi na karkara, ka sa su shigo, don gidana ya cika.’

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

24 Ina gaya muku, babu ko ɗaya daga cikin mutanen nan da aka gayyata da zai ɗanɗana bikina.”

for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

25 Taron mutane mai yawa suna tafiya tare da Yesu, sai ya juya ya ce musu,

And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

26 “Duk wanda yakan zo wurina, amma bai ƙi mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa, da matarsa da’ya’yansa, da’yan’uwansa mata da maza, kai, har ma ransa ba, ba zai iya zama almajirina ba.

If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

27 Kuma duk wanda ba yakan ɗauki gicciyensa ya bi ni ba, ba zai iya zama almajirina ba.

and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28 “In wani daga cikinku yana so ya gina gidan sama, ai, yakan fara zama ne, ya yi lissafin abin da ginin zai ci tukuna, don yă ga ko yana da isashen kuɗi da zai gama ginin.

For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;

29 Gama in ya sa tushen gini, amma bai iya gamawa ba, duk wanda ya gani zai yi masa ba’a,

in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

30 yana cewa, ‘Wannan mutum ya fara gini, amma bai iya gamawa ba.’

saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?

31 “Ko kuma, wane sarki ne, in zai je yaƙi da wani sarki, ai, yakan fara zama ne, ya duba ya ga, ko da mutane dubu goma, shi zai iya ƙarawa da mai zuwa da dubu ashirin?

Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

32 In ba zai iya ba, to, tun suna nesa, zai aika da wakilai, su je neman sharuɗan salama.

and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

33 Haka nan fa, kowane ne a cikinku, da ba ya rabu da abin da yake da shi ba, ba zai iya zama almajirina ba.

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

34 “Gishiri fa yana da kyau, amma in gishiri ya rabu da daɗin ɗanɗanonsa, ta yaya za a sāke mai da daɗin ɗanɗanonsa?

Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35 Ba shi da wani amfani, ko ga ƙasa, ko ga juji, sai dai a zubar da shi. “Duk mai kunnen ji, yă ji.”

It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
