Luka 14
1 Yabha nawinjila mhati mnyumba eya mntu omo mmiongoni mwagosi abhe Mafarisayo isiku elyatoye, alye eshalye bharibhahuzijira.
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 Enya, hwitagalila lyakwe hwalimntu obhino owe safura.
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 O Yesu wagalula wabhabhola abhane sheria na Farisayo, “Eshi, shinzi apome isiku Elyatoye, au seshasho?”
Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Abhahale bhapoma wakhata waponia, waruhusu abharaje omwene.
But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 Wabhabhora wenu kati yenyu ambaye engombe yakwe au edogomi yakwe etumbushiye mwilende wenu yasaga agavumbula isiku elyatoye?”
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 Wape sebhawezizye galule enongwa ezi.
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 Abhabhola ofwano bhala bhahanilwe, nalolile nabhasalula amatengo aga hwitangalila wayanga,
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 “Nkoyanilwe no muntu hu harusi, oganje akhala amatengo aga hwitagalila, ogajebhe aje oyanilwe omntu yaheshimiwa ashile awe.
“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honourable than you might be invited by him,
9 Wenza ola yabhanile awe nomwene, nahubhole osegulishe ono esho shobhahwande abhenesoni awene itengo elya hwisalo.
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 Ila nkoyanwe bhalaga okhala pitengo elya hwisalo, nkashile ola yamwanile abhole, `Rafiki wane, enzaga hwitagalila.” esho pobhabhe nehema hwitagalila elya bhantu wonti bhakheye pandwemo nawe.
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 honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
11 Afanaje kila wahwikuzya ahwisiwa wape wahwiyisya azuviwa. '
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Wabhola ola ya mwanile nobhomba eshalye esha pasanya au esha nandwebhela, uganje abhakwizye arafiki bhaho wala aholo bhaho wala amwenyu bhaho wala ajirani bhaho bhabhalineshoma wape bhasahenze bhamwana awe wapata alipe.
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 neighbours, or perhaps they might also return the favour, and pay you back.
13 Eshi nobhomba eshikurukuru bhakwizye apena, alema, na viwete avipofu,
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 nawe obhabhe nafu afwanaje ebhoselinahahulipe afwanaje wayilipwa nawayi owazyoshe owelyoli.”
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 Nawe nawovwa ego omo owabhala bhakheye pashalye pandwemo nawo abholele, “Nafu ola yabhalye ibumunda katika Oumwene owa Ngolobhe!”
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 Wabhola omntu omo abhombile eshikurukuru eshigosi, ahanile abhantu abhinji.
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 Wasontezya obhomba mbombo wakwe esala eyeshalye abhabhole bhala bhabhanilwe, `'Enzaji, afwanaje evintu vyonti vibhehwelwe tayari.'
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 Bhahandile bhonti, afumye audhuru hunia emo. Owahwande abholele, 'Enkarile ogonda, ehwanzaje embale endwenye. Ehulabha onsajile.'
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 Owamwabho wayanga, `'Enkarile eng'ombe, ejozi zisanu embala azilenje ehulabha onsajile.'
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 Owamwabho wayanga, 'Enejile oshe, afwatanesho sebwezizye ahwenze.'
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
21 Ola osontelezi wabhala wabhola ogosi wakwa enongwa zye mambo ego. Basi ola omwanesho nyumba wavitwa, `'Wabhola osontizi wakwe fuma nanali obhale mwidara igosi na mvichochoto evi boma obhalete epa apena, na lema na vipofu na viwete.”
“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 Osontizi wayanga, `Gosi ego golajizizye gamalishe abhombeshe, hata sheshi nemo enafasi.'
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 Ogosi wabhola osontezi, 'Fuma hwonze obhale hubalabala na mpaho obhashurutishe ahwinjile mhati, enyumba yane ebhe ememile.
“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 Eshi embabhola yaje katika bhala bha bhahanilwe sahweli hata omo yabhayilenje eshikurukuru shane. '
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 Amabongano aminji nabhali bhahubhenjeya wape, agalushe wabhabhola,
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 'Nkashele omntu nkayeze hwiline wape sahuvitu oyise wakwe, no nyine wakwe, noshe wakwe, na bhana bhakwe, na holo bhakwe abheshilume na bhesheshe- nantele hata enafsi yakwe yoyo sawezizye abha mwanafunzi wane.
“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 Omntu yoyonti yasayeji eshikhobhohanyo shakwe nahwenzi hwisalo lyane sawezizye abha mwanafunzi wane.
Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
28 Eshi wenu kati amwe, nkashile ohwanza azenje omnara yasakhala nasoti na bhazye egharama aje alinavyo evyamalelezye?
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 Asibhe wamenwa amale baada eyazenje omsingi abhantu wonti bhabhalola bhaganda huseshe,
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 bhayanga, Omntu ono ahandile azenje wabha salinamaha aga malezyenje.'
saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
31 Au huli no mwene wele, nkahwanza abhale alwe no mwene owenje yasakhala nsoti na abhombe ajehane, aje omwahale pandwemo na bhantu elfu kumi agawezya atangane nola yahwenza juu yakwe na bhantu 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 Na nkashile walola sewezizye asontezya oujumbe ogwahwanza eamani omntu ola salihutari.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
33 Shila omo wenyu yasaleshile vyonti vyalinavyo sawezizye abhe mwanafunzi wane.
So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
34 Omwoni hantu ahinza, lelo omwoni nkashile gunanjishe oponyeye nu ili gukhole?
“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 Seguhwanziwa mnsi wala jaa abhantu bhaitaga hwonze. Yali namakutu agatejezye, na ayovwe.”
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.”
