Lukha 14

1 Yahumile isikhu iya Sabato, pu avile iluta khu njengo khwa munu yumo aviale imbaha va Mafarisayo kwilya ikhisyesye avene valikhundolela pa wipi.

Then it happened, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.

2 Lola, pavulongolo pa mwene pale nu munu uviagatanchiwaga nu vufimbe.

And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!

3 U Yisu avunchi nje khu vamanya ndagilo va Vayahudi na Vamafalisayo, “Lino, lweli ukhuponniya isikhu iya sikhu iya Sabato, lino lweli?”

And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

4 Pi avene vakhava mye, pu uYisu akhamwibata, akhaponiya nu khupa uvugatalufu akhavuya khu myave.

But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.

5 Umwene akhavavula, “Veni umunu khulyumwe uvi ali nu mwana isenga iyiyingile mukhihulu ikya magasi isikhu iya Sabato sakha khwege khuuchi na mbivi?”

Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”

6 Avene savakhava ne lwakhuunchova khukhuhumya ilijibu khu mbombo yoni.

And they could not answer Him regarding these things.

7 Usikhi uYisu alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe, ifigoda ifya ifidwadiwa akhavavula ikhikhwani, akhavavula,

Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:

8 “Usikhi vuvikhuhwilanga khuvutolani, ulekhe ukhutama khuvavaha, ulwakhuva khwale umunu umbaha uvevi khudwada avanu voni.

“Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;

9 Usikhi umunu uviavilangile umwe mwivavili angafikhe, ikhukhuvula uve, hega umunu uyu itama apa, nu ve vuhega khusoni soni, vutengula ukhuluta khutama khu vumalilo.

then he who invited you both will come and say, ‘You, give this man place!’ and then, with shame, you start to take the lowest place.

10 Pu uve vangakhwilange, luta ukhatame khuvumalilo nu sikhi ugu umunu akhwilangile khululundamano vuinchile akhuvule, gwe higo, injango luta khuvulongolo ukhulutilila, `Pu wiva akhwimikhe khuvolongolo ukhulutilila voni avatamile nu mwene pa mesa.

Rather, whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will have honor in the presence of your fellow guests.

11 Ulwakhuva uviikhiyinula ayikhwisiwa, nu vikhwikha ayikhwinuliwa. '

Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12 Pu uYisu ambulile umunu uviamwilangile, 'Vuwihumya ikyakhula ikya pamusi na khukhimihe, ulekhe ukwilanga avaninyo nu valukhololwo nakho, avamubadihine vakho, avambadihine vakho na vatayili, ulwakhuva wita vinche vakhwilange nu yuve khukhwupila uluhombo.

Then He said directly to His host: “Whenever you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

13 Pu lino, w wovuvomba uluhekhelo, uvalondage avalemilwe avaganchu avasavigenda na vasavilola.

But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;

14 pu uve wiva insayiwa, ulwakhuva savakhakhuhombe. Pu uve ulahombwa khuvunchukhwa uwa nyavulweli.”

and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15 Usikhi gumo khuvala avatamile pa mesa paniniye nu Yisu avile apulikhe ago, nu mwene akhavavula, “Asayiwe ula uviyakhiva ilya ikhi syesye khu Vutwa wa Nguluve!”

Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!”

16 Pu uYisu akhavavula, “Umunu umo aitesaninche ukhuvikha uluhekhelo uluvakha alundenine avanu avingi.

So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.

17 Vu usikhi ugwa luhekhelo gufikhe, asuhile umbombi va mwene ukhavavule vala avanilangile, `'Mwinchage, ulwakhuva ifinu fyoni fivekhiwe nu khwincha khwilya.

And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’

18 Voni, vakhatengula ukhudova uvusikhilo. Uvakhwancha akhanjova, 'Imbaha, nigulile ikyalo, niluta khwilola. Nikhukhudova usikhile.'

But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’

19 Nu yunge akhanchova, negulile isenga incha khulimila niluta khukhugala ndanchilima, nidova uvusyekhilo.'

Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’

20 Umunu uyunge akhanchova akhata, 'Nilinuwinga saniwesya ukhundakha udala vango mwene sanikhinche.'

Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’

21 Umbaha akhavuya khumyave nu khumbula utwa va mwene imbombo incho. Umunu uva vuujenge uwa avipile, akhavavula avambombo va mwene, `'Mulutage munchila ujoni na nduhengo munjengo mukhavalete apa, avaganchu, avalemilwe, avasavilola, nu vavosavigenda.”

So that slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’

22 Uvambombo akhanchova, `Itwa, goni aga gagoukhalagile ni malile ukhuvomba lino inafasi payile.'

And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23 Utwa akhambula umbombi, 'Luta munchila nchoni, nchila malekhano na munchila imbaha incha khu visolisoli uvumilinche avanu vigile inyumba yango yidige.

Then the master said to the slave: ‘Go out to the roads and hedges and make people come in, so that my house may be filled.

24 Ulwakhuva nikhuvavula khu vala avilangiwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo asikhuli uviyakhiva ivoncha uluhekhelo lwango. '

For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”

25 Lino avanyalulundamano uluvaha valutaga pupaninye nu mwene, nu mwene akhavasyetukhila nukhuvavula,

Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:

26 'Ingave umunu ikhwincha khulyune, uvisikhugatancha udadaye va mwen, nu vanina va mwene nu dala va mwene, avagosi na vadala- lweli, na mbutamilo wa vene savakhawesya ukhuva vakhongi vango.

“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

27 Umunu uvisitola ikhidamili ng'ani khumwene nu khwincha khusana gwa mwene siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.

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

28 Pu veni khulyumwe, uviinongwa ukhusimikha unara sakhatame tasi ukhusaga imbalilo ilingi, ikhi inogwa ukhumalana nikyo?

“Further, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

29 Ulwakhuva, vu avikhile ulwuoto nu khulemwa ukhumala, voni valiwene vitengula ukhukhinela nu benapula,

This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,

30 valikhunchova, Umunu uyu ategwile ukhusimukha, akhavambula makha aga khumala.'

saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’

31 Pu itwa mukhi, anganogwe ukhuluta khutovana nu Ntwa uyunge khwilwa uvisitama pasi nu khusaga ukhulonda ulwidihano, ukhuta lino yuniwesya, paniniye na vanu ava elfukhinchigo ukhutovana nu Ntwa uyunge uvikhwincha khukyanya khu mwene na vanu elfu ishirini?

“Or what king, going to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32 Upu ingave usikhi sagufikhe, ugwa khipuga ikhinge khili khuvutali, pu visuha undoleli khulonda uvunonu lunonchehencho.

And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.

33 Ulwakhuva uva venchaga mugati mundyiumwe, uvisikhufilekha fyoni, ifyalinafye, siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.

“So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.

34 Umwinyo inonu, lino gungave umwinyo guanchinche ukhunoga, wigaha ndakhi ukhuta guve mwinyo?

Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?

35 Gusikhuli nu khuguvombela khulifu na khumbolela, gutagiwa khuvutali. Umwene uviali nu mbulukhutu incha khupulihincha pu apulikhe.”

It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
