Luka 14

1 Uso liyiri namong Asabbath, kube ado nanya kilari nmon udia Nafarsayawa alii imonlii, iwadi ncara me chochot.

And it came to pass, that he went, on the sabbath-day, into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees, to eat bread; and they watched him.

2 Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.

And behold, there was a man before him, who had the dropsy.

3 Yesu tirino anan nyiru nduka nanya Nayahudawa, nin na Farsayawa, “Iyinna ishin nin nit liyiri Nasabbath, sa babu?”

And Jesus answered and spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath-day?

4 Inung so tiik. Ame Yesu minghe a fiyaghe, a woro caang.

But they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 Ame woro nani, “Ghari nanya mine ule na adinin gono sa finna na adio nanya nrijiya nwui Nasabbath na aba du dedei adi natun ba?”

And he answered and said to them: Which of you, if his son or his ox should fall into a pit, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath-day?

6 Na inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.

And they were not able to give him an answer to these things.

7 Kubi na Yesu wa yene alenge na ina yicila nani asa ifere niti lisosin ngongong, abelle tinan tigoldo aworo nani,

And he spoke a parable to those who had been invited, when he observed how they were choosing the first places at table; and he said to them:

8 “Kubi na iyicilati uduu kiti nbuki nilugma, nauwa so kiti nse ngongon ba, bara sa umon duku na ina yicila ghe na akatinti nin ngongong.

When you are invited by any one to a wedding, do not recline in the first place, lest a more honorable man than you may have been invited by him;

9 Asa unite nin fe vat ndah, iba woru fi, 'Naci unit ule kitife,' nin ncing uba kpulu idi so kiti kibene.

and he that invited you and him, come and say to you, Give place to this man; and then you shall begin with shame to take the last place.

10 Asa iyicilafi cang idi so kiti kibene, kube na ulle na ana cila yicilafi ndaa, aba bellin fe, 'Udon nigh dah kiti kidya.' Uba se ngongon kiti nale vat na isosin nan fi.

But when you are invited, go and recline in the last place, that when he that invited you shall come, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then you shall have honor in the presence of those who recline with you.

11 Bara vat nlenge na atoltuno liti me iba ghantingh, ame ulenge na aghantina liti me iba toltunghe.”

For every one that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

12 Yesu tutun woro nnit une na ana yicila ghe, “Kubi na ushiniya ubuki sa imonli, na uwa yicila adondon fe, likura fe, sa anan nimon nacara kupo fe, inung ba kuru iyicila fi, ikpilin in nifi na ubase uduk ba.

Then he said also to him that had invited him: When you make a dinner or a supper, call not your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made you.

13 Asa ubasu ubuki yicila akimon, agurgu aturri nin naduu ana salin nyenju kiti,

But when you make a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind;

14 uba se nmari, bara na iwasa ikpilla inafi ba, bara uba se uduk liyirin nfitu nanit alau.”

and you shall be blessed; for they have no power to repay you; but you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

15 Umong na asosin kutebule nin Yesu, lanza ile imone, aworo ghe, “Unan nmariari ulenge na aba su kileo nanya kipin tigoo Kutelle!”

And a certain one of those who reclined at table with him, after hearing these things, said to him: Blessed is he who shall cat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Ame Yesu woro ghe, “Umon unit wa dinin nbuki udia, ayicila anit gbardang.

And he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

17 Na imonli nyini, ayicila anan katuwa kilari me, ato nani ido idi yicila alenge na ana bellin nani, 'Idak, bara ko yang inyini.'

And he sent his servant at the hour of supper, to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

18 Inug vat nafo itere tinu cizina udasu nin kucikusu, unan nburne woro ghe, 'Meng na seru kunen, nba du ndi yene. Na nbase udake ba.'

And they all, with one consent, began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a farm, and I must go and see it; I pray you, have me excused.

19 Umong tutun woro, 'Meng na seru inna ibaba ukashi utaun, ndin cinu udu idi gwada inin. Na meng base udake ba.'

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them; I pray you, have me excused.

20 Umon unit woro ghe, 'Meng nasu ilugma ipese, bara nani na nbase udake ba.'

And another said, I have married a wife, and, for this reason, I can not come.

21 Unan katuwa kilare kpilla ada belle Cikilare ile imone. Ale Cikilare kilare nana nayi, abelle unan katuwa my, 'Caan nanya kagbire dedei nan tibau udanin, nakimon, agurgu, a aduu nan naturi.'

And that servant came and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house was angry, and said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and the maimed, the lame and the blind.

22 Unan katuwa woro, 'Cikilari, ile imon na ubelle nsu inin, har nene kiti duku, sa unit.

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as you commanded, and yet there is room.

23 Cikilare belle unan katuwa me, 'Nuzu udo tibau tididia ukpeshilu nani idak, bara kilari nighe nan kullo.

And the lord said to his servant, Go out into the roads, and among the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be full.

24 Bara meng nbellin munu, na umon nanya nalele na iwa burun uyicilu nani dudu imonli nighe ba.'”

For I say to you, that not one of those men who have been invited, shall taste of my supper.

25 Nene ligozin na nit wa din cin nin ghe, a girtino a woro nani,

And many multitudes were journeying with him; and he turned and said to them:

26 wase umong ndaa kiti ning na anari ucef mge, unna nye, uwani nye, nwana nye, ni lime nan nishono - ee, umunu ulai me - na a batina usu gono katwa nin ba.

If any one comes to me, and hates not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and his own life also, he can not be my disciple.

27 vat inle na a yira kuca nkul nye a dufini ba na awa sa asu gono katwa nin ba.

And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, can not be my disciple.

28 Bara ghari nanya mine, ule na a dinin su a kee kilari na aba so a batiza imon ile na aba mulun kewe ayinin sa a nin nimong ile na ama ke kelare mun udu umale anin cizin ba?

For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down, and count the cost, whether he has the means to finish it?

29 Ana nani ba, a wa cizin lituine na a mala ba, vat nle na a yene a ba sisughe,

Lest, when he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all that see it begin to deride him,

30 a beling ule unite na cizin ukee kilari na amala ba.

saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

31 Sa uyapin agomari, na ama du likum nin mung ugo, na aba so a seru ashawara sa ama yinnu likume nin na nit amoi likure wase uleli ugowe nda nin na nit amoi akutaba?

Or, what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down, and deliberate whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him that is coming; against him with twenty thousand?

32 Andi na nani ba, aleli anang likume nwadi piit, a taa umong adi foo acara bara iso mang.

And if not, while he is yet at a distance, he sends an embassy, and asks for conditions of peace.

33 Bara nanere, vat nanya mine andi na usuna ile imong na udumung ba na uwa sa usoo unam masun iyinu ning ba.

So, then, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has, can not be my disciple.

34 Nto caun, bara na misali mamas, mi ba kuru me lawa ntwe tutungha?

Salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, by what means shall it become salt again?

35 Na mima yitu nin katwa tutung ba, I ma gutunu mining. Ule na adi nin na tuf na a lanza, na a lanza.

It is fit neither for earth, nor for manure; but they cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
