Luke 14
1 When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
Izuba limwi le Savata Jesu a vayendi muzuvo ya mukulwana wavafalisi kukalya inkonko, miva vaku mulolete.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Mubone, habusu vwa kwe kuvena mukwame yava kulwala butuku bwa chirunta.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Jesu ava kumbili vene inzivo ya mulao ni vafalisi chati: Kana iswanelo kuti muntu yo lwala a olwe ku hozwa le Savata kapa ka ku oleki?
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Imi vava tuntwele. Jesu ava muondi, ava muhozi, ni ku mulwila kuti ayende.
5 He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
Cha wamba kuvali, njeni kwenu wina manaswisu kapa ipulu iwilile muchisima le Savata ya sati amu zwise muchisima?
6 They could not answer him regarding these things.
Kana vava oli kuha inkalabo kwezi zintu zonse.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Linu Jesu cha lemuha kuti ku vava memetwe vava liketeli kwi kala ku zipula zi sepahala, cha wamba che nguli, ku wamba nati kubali,
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
“Ha mu memwa ku mukiti weseso, kanzi mwi kali ku zipula zi sepahala, kuola kuva ni muntu yo memetwe wina mazimo ahita enu.
9 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.
Linu zuna muntu yava mi memi mu vonse ha sika, uwola ku milwila kuti muhe uzu mwi chi baka chenu; Linu che nsoni ka muhinde chipula cha hansi.
10 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.
Linu ha mu memwa muyende ukekale ha chabaka cha hansi nji kuti zuna wa mi mema ha sika mwati kwenu mukwangu, zimane uzwe mu chaba cha hansi uke kale mu chabaka heulu.'
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Linu kamu kutekehe ha vusu vwa vantu vonse vekele hentafule nanwe. Yense muntu uli nuneka kabozwe mwi sule.”
12 He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
Jesu chata ku mukweme ya va mumemi kuzilyo za musihali kapa za chitengu, sanzi mu memi va likani niva kwenu, kapa muntu muhumanehi imu vambene naye chinanga amimeme naye, cho kuti kamulihiwe.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Kono hova ni zilyo zi chitengu umeme vashebete, zihole, vasayendi ni vasaboni,
14 and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
Imi mo fuyolwe, kakuti kavaoli kuku vozekeza chimwi kapa kukuliha. Mukuti, molihiwe kenako yoku vaka kuva shiyeme.”
15 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!”
Imi zumwi yabekele ni Jesu hentafule hazuwa zonse izi zintu abati kuti ufuyolwete yete nalya inkoko mu mubuso we Reeza!”
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Imi Jesu chata kuti zinwi mukwame, “Ava lukisi zilyo ze chitengu ni kumema bantu bangi.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Imi zilyo hazi lukiswa, avatumi zumwi kuvahikana vakwe kukasumpa bonse vamemetwe, 'Mwize, kakuli zonse zintu chiza shiama.
18 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.’
Bonse chi vatanga kuha mavaka. Wentazi avati kwali, niva uli iwa, nisaka kuyenda nika libona, ni ondele.
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
Linu zumwi naye chata kuti niva uli mapulu atenda ikumi ni saka ku ka atapisa, ni ondele.
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’
Linu zumwi naye chata kuti, 'nji ni sesa hanu, kani oli kusiya va mwihetu, ni ondele kani oli kwiza.'
21 “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.’
Muhikana ava ka voli kwa nfumwe kwiza kumu wambila zintu zonse. Linu nfumwakwe cha venga ni ku wamba kuti azwe ayende mu ma kululu onse e tolopo ni kuka leta va shebete, zihole, va sayendi mane navana va saboni,
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Muhikana chati, nfumwangu, zova ni tumi zi petehele linu kusina chivaka cingi.'
23 “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.
Nfumwakwe chati ku muhikana wakwe, 'Yende mu makulu makando onse uka sumpe vonse cho kuti inzuvo yangu izule.
24 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.’”
Linu niti kwako, kakwina kwavo vakwame vava memetwe yete na sole zilyo zangu zi chitengu.'”
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Linu chisi chi va ku yenda naye, cha chevuka, chati ku vali,
26 “If anyone comes to me, and does not disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
“Yense wiza kwangu yasa toyete vesi, vanyina, vamihyabwe, vana, vamukulwe ni va nchizye - initi, ni vu halo vwakwe, ka woli ku va mulutwana wangu.
27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Yense ya sa woli ku kulilka muziyo wakwe ni kwiza kwa ngu ka woli ku vuba mulutwana wangu.
28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
Njeni kwenu, yo lakaza ku zaka itawala, ya sa oli kwikala hansi ni ku hupula kapa, wina zi swanela ku mana ku mana muzako wa kwe.
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Hamwi, chatanga kete a wole ku mana, vonse vete ni vavone kava tange kumu somoza, ni vati,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
'Uzu mukwame ava tangite ku zaka linu kana ava woli ku mani.'
31 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?
Simwine nzi, yoya ku kulwa ni simwine zu mwi, ya sati ne kale hansi kapa ku kumbila intuso ku vamwi, ku vona kapa u wola kuya ku nkondo ni va kwame va likana zikiti zina ikumi, ni zumwi simwene yo keza ni mpi ina zikiti zina makumi ovele?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
Linu heva ka njo vulyo, linu impi imwi ni sina kule, ka tumine muzimani zumwi ku ka ziminzana zikozo.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
Cho kuti, linu, yense kwenu ya siyi zonse za kwate kete na wole kuva mulutwana ngu.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
Mwinyo mu lotu, linu heva mwinyo ha u sampuka, ka u lungwe vule?
35 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.”
Linu ka kwina intuso kwi yevu nanga mu sutelo u lindikitwe. Ka u soiwa vulyo. Yense wina matwi aku zuwa, azuwe.”
