Luka 14

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

And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

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

And a certain man was there who had a disease.

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

And Jesus, answering, said to the scribes and Pharisees, Is it right to make people well on the Sabbath or not?

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

But they said nothing. And he made him well and sent him away.

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 said to them, Which of you, whose ox or ass has got into a water-hole, will not straight away get him out on the Sabbath?

6 Na inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.

And they had no answer to that question.

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

And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying 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 get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

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

And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

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 come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

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

For every man who gives himself a high place will be put down, but he who takes a low place will be lifted up.

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.

And he said to the master of the house, When you give a feast, do not send for your friends and your brothers and your family or your neighbours who have wealth, for they may give a feast for you, and so you will get a reward.

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

But when you give a feast, send for the poor and the blind and those who are broken in body:

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

And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

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

And, hearing these words, one of those who were at table with him said to him, Happy is the man who will be a guest in the kingdom of God.

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

And he said to them, A certain man gave a great feast, and sent word of it to a number of people.

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 when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, 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 gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

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 got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

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

And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to 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 the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

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

And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still 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 the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so 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 who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.

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

Now a great number of people went with him.

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.

And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not be my disciple.

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

Whoever does not take up his cross and come after me may 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, desiring to put up a tower, does not first give much thought to the price, if he will have enough to make it complete?

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

For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,

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

And saying, This man made a start at building and is not able to make it complete.

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 war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

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

Or while the other is still a great distance away, he sends representatives requesting 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.

And so whoever is not ready to give up all he has may not be my disciple.

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

For salt is good, but if the taste goes from it, of what use is it?

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 no good for the land or for the place of waste; no one has a use for it. He who has ears, let him give ear.
