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.
U Tienu fuodma daali, ke Farisieninba yudanba siiga yendo den yini Jesu o denpo, ke ban je:
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Yaaba n den cua ki ba je, den kpaagi Jesu. Yiamo bá mɔ den kaa o nintuali po, ke o gbanu kuli tie a mɔla bábá.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Jesu den maadi yeni U Tienu bali maama tundkaaba yeni yikodanba tundkaaba yeni Farisieninba. Ki buali ba: Li cabi ke ban paagi o yiamo saaba daali bii laa cabi i?
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Bi ki ŋmiani o lbá. Lan wn ii, ke Jesu cuo o yimo, ki paagi o, ki maadi o, ke wan ya kuni o denpo.
5 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?”
Lani ke o gɔ buali ba: ... I siiga ŋma i ke li ya tie o biga lan yaa ka o nua n baa li caali nni ke o kan tuodi ki ñani o?
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
Baa den fidi ki ŋmiani o lala maama po lbá.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
Wan den bandi ke yaaba n cua mi jaanma kuli den lingi ke ban kali liiga kankaani po, ke o pua ba mi makpanjama ne:
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,
Li ya tie ke o nulo yini u puokuanu jaanma, da gedi ki kali liiga. Li ba fidi tuu ke o yini o nulo ke cie ŋa,
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.
ke wan yua yini yi kuli ba cua ki maadi ŋa: “Fii ki teni o ne u kankaanu, a ji fii yeni i fee i ki gedi ki pan kali puoli.
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.
Ama, bi ya yini a mi jaanma, ŋan gedi ki kali puoli po. Yua yini a yeni ya ti cua, o ba maadi: “N dɔnli, ti bobni u kankaanŋanu a po, cua ki kali liiga!” Li baa tie a po ti yudandi i yaaba ke bi yini ba yeni kuli nunga nni.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Lan wan ii, yua doni o bá bi ba jiini o, ke yua jiini o bá bi ba doni o.
12 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 neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
Ke Jesu maadi yua n yini o: A ya bobni mi jaanma u yensiinu lan yaa ka ku yen yenjuogu, ŋan da yini a dɔnlinba, a ninjanba, a naataani lan yaa ka a kuantaalieba yaaba n tie bi ŋalmandanba, kelima, bi mɔ ti ba yini a ki ŋmiani ŋa li ŋanma.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Ama, a ya bobni mi jaanma, ŋan yini a luoda, a juama, a tuoma, talginba.
14 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.”
Lan wan ii U Tienu ba ŋanbi a po kelima ban wan kan fifi ki ŋmiani a ŋanma. U Tienu ba guani ki ŋmiani a ŋanma ya yogu ke o ba fiini bi kpienŋanba.
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!”
Yaaba n den ye mi jaanma kani siiga yendo n den gbadi laa maama, ke o maadi Jesu: Li pamanli ye yeni yua n ba baa ki je U Tienu diema nni.
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
Jesu den gɔ maadi o: O nulo den jagi ke o tieni mi jaancianma, ki yini bi niba boncianla.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Mi jiema yogu n n pundi, o den sɔni o naaciemo ke wan gedi ki maadi wan yini yaaba: Cua man na kelima li bonla kuli ŋanbi ki gbeni o.
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.’
Ama bikuli yendo yendo den mia sugli nani bi taani ñɔbu yeni. O nikpialo den yedi o naaciemo: N daa u kuanu, kali min gedi ki pan lá u, ŋan pan mia n po sugli.
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
One mɔ den yedi: N daa naakpakuoda piiga, n caa ki bua pan biigi a, ŋan pan mia o sugli n po.
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
Tɔa momko den yedi: N dá kuani o pocaano mɔlane, lan ya po n kan fidi ki gedi.
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.’
O naaciemo den lebdi ki guani o canbáa kani, ki waani o li kuli. Lani, o diedaano yeni pali den beni, ke o yedi o naaciemo: Kua u dogu siiga nni yeni i sani nni tontoni ki cua yeni a luoda, a tadma, a juama yeni a waba na.
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Lan tien waamu, o naaciemo den guani ki yedi: Canbáa n tieni ŋan bo puogi nni yaala, u kaanu gɔ sieni.
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.
Lani ke Canbáa den gɔ yedi o, ke wan ña u dogu nni ki diidi a sanbila nni yeni a naga balinma ki tigdi bi niba, ke ban cua na n diegu n gbie.
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.’”
N yedi ke min den kpia ki yini yaaba yeni, bi siia bá yendo kan leni n jaanjiema.
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Ku niwulgu den yegi yeni Jesu u sanciamu nni. O jigdi ki yedi ba.
26 “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.
Yua cua n kani ki bua ki ŋɔdi nni yaa yie o báa, yeni o naá, yeni o pua, yeni o bila, o kpeliba, yeni o waamu, bá o yuceli mɔ, o kan tua n ŋɔdka.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
Yua n ki bugi o dapɔnpɔnli ki ŋua nni kan fidi ki ya tie n ŋɔdka.
28 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?
Yi siiga nni ŋma baa bua maa li diecianli ki dá kan kali ki bandi wan ba biani yaala, ki lia o ya pia ya ligi n ba dagdi wan gbeni.
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
O ya ki tieni yeni, ki pu li tanpuuli ki naa fidi ki juodi, yaaba n ba pendi li kani kuli baa ñuadi o, ki yedi.
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
O ja ne cili li diemaali ki naa fidi ki juodi.
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?
Bii o laa badciamo n baa ye ki bua ki tuogi bu tɔbu yeni o badciantɔo, ki nan pia bi tɔtieba tuda piiga, nani o dá kan kali ki biigi o ya ba fidi ki tuogi bu tɔbu yeni yua n cuoni o kani ki pia tɔtieba tuda piilie?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
O ya sua ke o kan fidi, o ba sɔni o tondiba hali ke o yibali dá ye fagma, ki mia o wan waani o wan bua yaala ban mangi yeni bi lieba.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
Li tie yeni i siiga, yua n ki luni wan pia yaala kuli, kan tua n ŋɔdka.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
Mi yaama mani, ama mi ya ti luo mi manu, bi ba taa be ki gɔ mangi ma?
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.”
Maa pia mayuli ban pagi ma u kuanu nni, maa pia ban taa ma ki kali leni ti baadi man ti tua dulma, hali ban lu ma bábá. yua n pia a tuba ki ba gbadi wan gbadi.
