Luka 14
1 Aeipumie luhiku lakumukulya, naulongoe munyumba ang'wi ao nuatongeli a Mafarisayo kulya mukate, neenso akumugoza kwa pakupe.
When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees [Separated] on a Sabbath ·To cease· to eat bread, they were watching him.
2 Goza, pantongelakwe aukole muntu nuanso aukagigwa nuuimbwa.
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 U Yesu wakaakolya eamanyi kupuma milago la Ayahudi ne Mafarisayo, “Ite izane kumukomya umuntu uluhiku lakukulya, anga singauu?”
Yeshua [Salvation], answering, spoke to the Torah-experts and Pharisees [Separated], saying, “Does the Torah ·Teaching· allow healing on the Sabbath ·To cease· or not?”
4 Lakini nianso akilagilye ihetwe, kuite u Yesu wakamuamba, wekamukomya wikamulekela alongole yakwe.
But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 Nung'wenso wikamuila, “Nyenyi apaite nukite ung'wana ang'wi ng'ombe wagwila muluze luhiku la kukulya shanga ukumuluta kunzi wapume?”
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 ·To cease· day?”
6 Nianso aeagila anga uhumi wakupumya ulukani kunkani niyanso.
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 Imatungo u Yesu nauagundue naile naalekilwe kina asagae intu niyaheshima, akaaila, kupyani akaaila.
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 Imatungo nimalekilwe numuntu kuwinga, ukekikie munafasi naheshima, kunsoko iwezekanile walikilwe muntu mungiza nukite heshima kukila uewe.
“When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
9 Imatungo umuntu nualekilwe unye nimeabiile angawapike, ukuela uewe, “muhegele uyu enafasi ako” kuite kwa minyala ukonza kuhega nukikie kunyuma.
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.
10 Lakini uewe angawalekwe, longola wikie kumwisho ite imatungo angawaza nukualekile, uhumile kuuila uewe, muhumba miane, longola kuntongela kukila.” Kuite ukutula uheshimiwe ntongela aehi neikie palung'wi nuewe pameza.
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.
11 Kundogoilyo uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, nuyu nuisimya wikuligwa.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 U Yesu akamuila umuntu naumalekile, “Nukupumya indya ya mung'wi ang'wi yampende, lakukualeka eahumba eako ang'wi anya ndugo ako ang'wi antu ang'wi anyakisale ako neatajili, ite kunsoko neaenso akekualika uewe upate ilipo.
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 teshuvah ·completely return· the favor, and pay you back.
13 Kuleka ite, nukuanya isherehe, aaleke eamasikini, ealema, akewete, niapoku,
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 nuewe ukukembetwa, kunsoko shangaakulipa. Kundogoelyo ukulipwa muwioki watai.”
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 upright.”
15 Imatungo ung'wi ao aewikie mumeza palung'wi nu Yesu naewigule aya, nung'wenso wikaaela, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuekulya umukute muutemi wang'wi Tunda.
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!”
16 Lakini u Yesu wikaaila, “Muntu ung'we auzepilye sherehe nkulu, akaitanga antu eedu.”
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 Matungo isherehe naekole tayari, aumutumike umitumi akwe aaele awa naalekilwe, “Pembyi mihi kunsoko iintu yehi ikole tayali.
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 Ehi, ekatulalompa radhi. Nuang'wandyo akamuila umitumi, ngoile mugunda, lazima nende nulegoze. Itunu unsamile.
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.’
19 Numuya wikalunga, Nguile majoki ataano na ng'ombe, nunene niinzu kuagema, itunu unkoelwe.
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 Nu muntu mungiza wekalunga, “Ntenile musungu, kuite shanga nzile.”
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
21 Umitumi akasuka akamuila umukulu wakwe emakani nanso. Umukola nyumba wikataka akamuila umitumi wakwe, “Longokaya muisale numukona akisale ualete hapa iamasikini, niakelema, niapoku nawa nialemilwe.”
“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.’
22 Umitumi wikalunga, mkulu aya nazundagiye ehi namituma, ganitungile ga enafasi kele ekole.”
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 Mukulu wikamuila umitumi, longola munzila nenkulu uahimize eantu ingiile, ite enyumba ne izule.
“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.
24 Kundogoelyo kumuila, kuite awa nialekilwe nung'wandyo shangaukuonza esherehe ane.
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’”
25 Ite umati ukulu aealongoe palung'wi nung'wenso, nung'wenso wikapiluka, wikaaila,
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 Angize muntu wizile kitalane nung'wenso shangaumubipiwe utata akwe, musungu wakwe, anaaakwe, anyandugu akwe, agoha nawa niasungu ee, ga nuwikale wakwe ga shanga ukutula mumanyisigwa wane.
“If anyone comes to me, and does not disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
27 Umuntu nushanga ukuhola umusalaba wakwe waze kunyuma ane shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa wane.
Whoever does not bear his own execution-stake, and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
28 Kundogoelyo nyenyu ung'wi anyu, nuhumilwe insula akuzenga umunola shanga ukikie hanza wakadilie engalama kumahesabu kina ukite eke nutakile wahu kukamisha nelanso?
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 Kuite, baada akuika umusingi nukuleng'wa kumala, ehi naineakanza kumugema.
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 Akutambula umuntu uyu aewandilye kuzenga, wekatula mugila anga ngulu akumailya.”
saying, ‘This man began to build, and was not able to finish.’
31 Ite mutemike, nutakile kenda kikua nuutemi nuungiza kumbita, shanga uhumile kikie hanza pihe nukuhola imasigo angize uhumile, palung'wi ni antu elfu ikumi kikua nuutemi nuungiza nuukiza migulya akwe neantu elfu ishilini?
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?
32 Kang'wi shangauu, matungo ijeshi nilaangiza kile lekole kule, wetuma momboi kutaka emashariti aamani.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.
33 Kuite gwa, wehi ung'wi ao neshanga ukuleka ehi nanso nukete, shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa ane.
So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
34 Umunyu uza, lakini anga umunyu angaulimilye lauha akwe, ikutula ule utule munyu hange?
Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 Ngila anga matumizi muudogo hata mumbolea uyu nakite iakutwe ahija nuije.”
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
