Luke 14
1 Sie len Sabbath Jesus el som in mongo in lohm sin sie sin mwet kol lun mwet Pharisee, ac mwet uh arulana tonel Jesus.
When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
2 Oasr mukul se fafwak paol ac nial el tuku nu yurin Jesus,
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 ac Jesus el siyuk sin mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee uh, “Ku Ma Sap lasr uh lela in akkeyala mas ke len Sabbath, ku tia?”
Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Torah scholars and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 A elos tiana fahkla sie kas. Jesus el eis mwet sac ac akkeyalla ac supwalla.
But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 Na el fahk nu selos, “Fin sie suwos oasr wen se natul ku soko ox natul su putatla nu in sie luf loal ke len Sabbath, ku kowos ac tia sulaklak sraklalak liki luf sac ke na len Sabbath?”
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 day?”
6 Na elos tiana ku in topkol ke ma se inge.
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 Jesus el liye lah kutu mwet uh lungsena sulela acn in muta wowo, ouinge el fahk pupulyuk se inge nu selos nukewa:
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 “Mwet se fin suli kom nu ke kufwen marut, nimet kom som muta ke acn ma wo emeet uh. Sahp ac oasr pac mwet se solsolma su fulat liki kom,
“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
9 na mwet se la kufwa uh su suli komtal kewa, ac tuku ac fahk nu sum, ‘Sang el uh elan muta insacn.’ Na kom ac tonongla ac som muta ke acn ma pusisel oemeet uh.
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 In tia ouinge, a ke suliyuk kom, wo kom in som ac muta ke acn ma pusisel oemeet uh, na mwet se ma suli kom uh fah fahk nu sum, ‘Kawuk, fahsru muta ke acn wowo se inge.’ Ouiya se inge ac akkatoye kom ye mutun mwet nukewa ma suliyuk uh.
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 Tuh kutena mwet su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, a el su sifacna akpusiselyal ac fah akfulatyeyuk.”
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet se la kufwa uh, “Kom fin orek mongo infulwen len ku eku, nimet kom suli mwet kawuk lom, ku mwet wiom ku sou lom saya, ku mwet tulan kasrup lom — mweyen elos ac mau suli kom pac tok, na fin ouinge kom ac eis tari molin orekma wo se kom oru ah.
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 return the favor, and pay you back.
13 Kom fin orek kufwa, kom suli mwet sukasrup, mwet sukapas, mwet ul, ac mwet kun;
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 na ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk kom, mweyen elos ac tia ku in folokin orekma wo lom. God El ac fah folokin orekma lom ke len se mwet wo uh moulyak liki misa.”
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 righteous.”
15 Ke sie sin mwet su welul mongo el lohng ma inge, el fahk nu sin Jesus, “Fuka lupan engan lun mwet su wi ipeis ke kufwa lun Tokosrai lun God!”
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 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet se tuh oru kufwa na lulap se, ac suli mwet na pus nu kac.
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 Ke mongo in kufwa sac akola tari, el supwala mwet kulansap lal in som fahk nu sin mwet ma el suli uh, ‘Fahsru, ma nukewa akola!’
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 Tusruk elos nukewa mutawauk in fahk sripa lalos in tia ku in som. Mwet se oemeet uh fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac, ‘Nga tufahna molela ipin acn se, ac nga enenu in som liye. Nunak munas, fahk elan tuleyula.’
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 Ac sie pac fahk, ‘Nga tufahna molela cow mukul singoul, ac nga ac som srikalos. Nunak munas, fahk elan tuleyula.’
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 Ac sie pac fahk, ‘Nga tufahna marutla, ac ke sripa se inge nga tia ku in fahsrot.’
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
21 Na mwet kulansap sac folokla ac fahkak ma inge nukewa nu sin leum lal. Leum sac arulana foloyak ac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, ‘Sulaklak fahla nu pe inkanek uh ac nu inmasrlon lohm in siti uh ac pwanma mwet sukasrup, mwet sukapas, mwet kun, ac mwet ul.’
“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 Tiana paht toko, mwet kulansap sac fahk, ‘Sap lom ah orekla tari, tusruk srak pacna oasr acn lula nu sin kutu pac mwet.’
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 Ouinge leum sac sifil fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, ‘Fahsrot nu ke inkanek in ima uh ac acn pac likin siti uh, ac sap mwet uh in tuku, tuh lohm sik fah sessesla.
“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 Nga fahk nu suwos nukewa lah tia siefanna sin mwet suliyuk meet ah ac fah wi ema mongo ke kufwa se luk inge!’”
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
25 Sie pacl ah ke un mwet puspis elos welul Jesus fahsr, el forla ac fahk nu selos,
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 “Kutena mwet su tuku nu yuruk, el koflana mwet tumuk lutlut el fin tia lungse nga yohk liki papa tumal ac nina kial, mutan kial ac tulik natul, mwet lel ac mwet lohl, oayapa moul lal sifacna.”
“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
27 Kutena mwet su tia us sakseng lal sifacna ac fahsr tukuk, koflana mwet tumuk lutlut.
Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
28 Fin sie suwos akoo in musai sie tower, el enenu in muta ac motkwala lupan molo an meet, ac liye lah ac fal mani ma oasr yorol in aksafyela ma el oru uh.
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 El fin tia oru ouinge, na tukun el oakiya pwelung uh el ac tia ku in aksafyela tower sac, ac mwet nukewa ma liye ac fah isrunul.
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 Elos ac fahk, ‘Mwet se inge mutawauk in musai, a el tia ku in aksafyela!’
saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 Fin sie tokosra el oatula wi mwet singoul tausin, in mweun lain sie pac tokosra su tuku in lainul wi mwet longoul tausin, el ac enenu in muta ac nunkala meet lah pwaye oasr ku lal in lain tokosra se ngia.
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 El fin tia ku, na el ac supwala mwet utuk kas in osun nu sin tokosra se ngia in pwapa ke sukyen inkanek in misla ke el srakna loes lukel.”
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
33 Ac Jesus el sifil fahk, “In ouiya se pacna inge, wangin sie suwos ku in mwet tumuk lutlut el fin tia fuhleak ma lal nukewa.”
So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
34 “Sohl uh ma wo se, tusruktu fin wanginla emah, wanginna ma ac ku in orek in sifil folokonak emah.
“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 Ac wanginla sripa nu ke fohkon acn uh, oayapa nu ke mwe akmongo sacn uh. Ac fah sisila. Ke ma inge kowos porongo, fin oasr srewos!”
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
