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.

It happened on a Sabbath, when he was gone to eat at the house of one of the rulers, who was a Pharisee, that while the Pharisees were observing him,

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

a man who had a dropsy stood 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?”

Then Jesus addressing himself to the lawyers and Pharisees, said, Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?

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

They being silent, he took hold of the man, healed and dismissed him.

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?”

Then resuming his discourse, he said to them, Who, amongst you, if his ass or his ox fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?

6 Suka rasa abin faɗi.

And to this they were not able to make him a reply.

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

Observing how eager the guests were to possess the higher places at the table, he gave them this injunction,

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 you are invited to a wedding, do not occupy the highest place at table, lest one more considerable than you be bidden,

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 you both, come and say to you, Give place to this man; and you should then rise with confusion, to take the lowest 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 you are invited, go to the lowest place, that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher; for that will do you honor before the company.

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

For whoever exalts himself, shall be humbled; and whoever humbles 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.

He said also to him who had invited him, When you give a dinner, or a supper, do not invited your rich friends, brothers, cousins, or neighbors, lest they also invite you, in their turn, and you be recompensed.

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

But when you give an entertainment, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the 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 you shall be happy; for, as they have not the means to requite you, you shall be requited at the resurrection of the righteous.

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.”

One of the guests, hearing this, said to him, Happy be he who shall feast in the Reign of God.

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

Jesus 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 at supper time he sent his servants, to tell those who had been invited to come presently; for, that all was 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.’

But they all, without exception, made excuses. One said, I have purchased a field, which I must go and see; I pray you have me 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.’

Another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, which I am going to prove; I pray you have me excused.

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

A third said, I have married a wife; and, therefore, I can not go.

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.’

The servant being returned, related all to his master. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servants, Go immediately into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind.

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

Afterward, the servant said, Sir, your orders are executed, and still there is room.

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

The master answered, Go out into the highways, and along the hedges, and compel people to come, 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 declare to you, that none of those who were invited, shall taste of my supper.

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

As great multitudes traveled along with him, he turned to them, and said,

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 hate not his father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters; nay, and himself, too; he can not be my disciple.

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

And whosoever does not follow me, carrying his cross, can not 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, intending to build a tower, does not first, by himself, compute the expense, to know whether he have the means to complete it;

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

lest, having laid the foundation, and being unable to finish, he become the derision of all who see it;

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

who will say, This man began to build, but 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 to engage another king, with whom he is at war, does not first consult, by himself, whether he can, with ten thousand men, encounter him who comes against him with twenty thousand;

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

that if he can not, he may, while the other is at a distance, send an embassy to sue for 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.

So then, whosoever he be of you, who does not renounce all that he has, he can not 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 is good; but if the salt become insipid, with what 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 fit neither for the land, nor for the dunghill, but is thrown away. Whosoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
