Luka 14
1 Uso liyiri namong Asabbath, kube ado nanya kilari nmon udia Nafarsayawa alii imonlii, iwadi ncara me chochot.
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 Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 Yesu tirino anan nyiru nduka nanya Nayahudawa, nin na Farsayawa, “Iyinna ishin nin nit liyiri Nasabbath, sa babu?”
Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Inung so tiik. Ame Yesu minghe a fiyaghe, a woro caang.
But they were silent. 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?”
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 inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 Kubi na Yesu wa yene alenge na ina yicila nani asa ifere niti lisosin ngongong, abelle tinan tigoldo aworo nani,
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and 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 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 Asa unite nin fe vat ndah, iba woru fi, 'Naci unit ule kitife,' nin ncing uba kpulu idi so kiti kibene.
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 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 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 Bara vat nlenge na atoltuno liti me iba ghantingh, ame ulenge na aghantina liti me iba toltunghe.”
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will 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.
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 Asa ubasu ubuki yicila akimon, agurgu aturri nin naduu ana salin nyenju kiti,
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 uba se nmari, bara na iwasa ikpilla inafi ba, bara uba se uduk liyirin nfitu nanit alau.”
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 Umong na asosin kutebule nin Yesu, lanza ile imone, aworo ghe, “Unan nmariari ulenge na aba su kileo nanya kipin tigoo Kutelle!”
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 Ame Yesu woro ghe, “Umon unit wa dinin nbuki udia, ayicila anit gbardang.
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many 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.'
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
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.'
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 Umong tutun woro, 'Meng na seru inna ibaba ukashi utaun, ndin cinu udu idi gwada inin. Na meng base udake ba.'
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 Umon unit woro ghe, 'Meng nasu ilugma ipese, bara nani na nbase udake ba.'
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t 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.'
“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 Unan katuwa woro, 'Cikilari, ile imon na ubelle nsu inin, har nene kiti duku, sa unit.
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 Cikilare belle unan katuwa me, 'Nuzu udo tibau tididia ukpeshilu nani idak, bara kilari nighe nan kullo.
“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 Bara meng nbellin munu, na umon nanya nalele na iwa burun uyicilu nani dudu imonli nighe ba.'”
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 Nene ligozin na nit wa din cin nin ghe, a girtino a woro nani,
Now great multitudes were going with him. 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 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 vat inle na a yira kuca nkul nye a dufini ba na awa sa asu gono katwa nin ba.
Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t 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 build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 Ana nani ba, a wa cizin lituine na a mala ba, vat nle na a yene a ba sisughe,
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 a beling ule unite na cizin ukee kilari na amala ba.
saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t 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, 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 Andi na nani ba, aleli anang likume nwadi piit, a taa umong adi foo acara bara iso mang.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy 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 therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
34 Nto caun, bara na misali mamas, mi ba kuru me lawa ntwe tutungha?
“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season 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 fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
