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.
KADEKADEO ni a kotilon on nan im en kaun pan Parijar amen, pwen konot ni ran en iapat; a irail majamajan i.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
A kilan, aramaj amen mia waja o, me lijonepo.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
Iejuj ap kotin japen majani on jaunkawewe o Parijiir akan: Me pun, en kakelada ni ran en japat?
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Irail nenenla. I ap kotin jair i, kakelada o kadara wei.
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?”
Ap kotin japen majani on irail: Ij re omail, me na aj de kau pupedi on nan por o, me jo pan madan apiada jan ni ran en japat?
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
A irail jota kak japenki i meakot.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
A kotin majani on toun kapar karajeraj eu, ni a kotin mani, me re inon ion en mondi ni tapin tepel, majani on irail:
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,
Koe lao pan luke don kamadip en kapapaud ren meamen, ender mondi on leppantam, pwe ele amen, me lapa jan koe lukedor.
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.
O me luk uk edo o pil i, pan kodo indai on uk: Ki on ol men et deu om! A koe pan namenok kodido on nan roulap.
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.
A koe lao paluke, kola mondi on nan roulap, pwe me luke uk lao pwarado, en indai on uk: Kompoke pai, kotidato! Koe ari pan kaindand nan pun en ir, me ian uk ni tepel.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Pwe karoj me kin kajapwilada pein i, pan kajapwilidi, o me kin kajapwilidi pein i, pan kajapwilada.
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.
Ap pil kotin majani on me lukedo i: Kom lao wiada konot en ni jauaj de nin jautik, eder lukedo kompokepa om ko, de ri om akan, de jau om, de men imp om kapwapwa kan, pwe re de pil luke uk, o depuk on uk.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
A ma koe pan wia kamadip, en lukedo me jamama o me pali duk kai, o me jikilikil, o me majkun akan.
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.”
Koe ari pan meid pai, pwe irail jota pan kak depuk on uk, a a pan depuk on uk ni ran o, me pun kan pan maureda.
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!”
A amen ir, me ian ni tepel o lao ronadar mepukat, ap potoan on i: Meid pai, me pan jak prot nan wein Kot.
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
A a kotin majani on i: Aramaj amen mia, me wiadar kamadip lapalap o luke pena me toto.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
O kadarala na ladu o ni dokan kamadip, pwen kaire kin irail, me pan toun kapar: Komail ukedo, pwe meakaroj onoper.
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.’
Irail ap wiaki eu ikidiki okotme. Men maj indai on i: I netiada jap eu, i pan kola kilan; i poeki re om, koe en kadar ia la.
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
A amen inda: I pwainda kau ol ek, a met i pan kola kilan ir; i poeki re om, koe en kadar ia la.
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
A amen inda: I paudeki li amen, i me i jota kak kokila.
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.’
Ladu o ari purodo, kaireki a monjap meakan. Monjap o ap makara kidar indai on a ladu: Tane wei nani al laud o al tikitik en kanim o wado me jamama kan, o me pali duk, o me jikilikil, o me majkun akan.
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
A ladu o indada: Main, a wiauier duen omui majan, a deun akai pil pil mia.
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.
Monjap o ap indai on a ladu: Kakan jili nani al o ni kailan kel akan, papain ir do, pwe im ai en tounla!
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.’”
A i indai on komail, nan jota amen ren ol oko, me paluke, pan jon ai kamadip.
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
A pokon kalaimun idauenla i. I ari jaupei on irail majani:
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.
Meamen kodo re i, ap jo maliela jam a, o in a, o a paud, o na jeri kan, o ri a ol, o li akan, o pil pein maur a, nan a jota pan kak ai tounpadak.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
A meaen jo kida a lopu o idauen ia do, a jota pan kak ai tounpadak.
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?
Pwe ij re omail, me pan kauada im en taulik eu, me jota pan mondi maj ap lamelame duen pwain a, ma a pan kak on de jo?
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Pwe a de pajonedi, ap jota kak kanikiel; a karoj, me udial, pan kaurureki i,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
Indada: Aramaj men et pikikidi kauada im, ap jota kak kanikiela.
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?
De ij nanmarki o, me pan mauin on amen nanmarki, me jota pan mondi maj ap lamelame, ma a pan kak kaloekidi aramaj nen aramaj rianen?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
A ma jo, a pan kadarala men kadar akai, poekipoeki muei mau ni ara non doo pajan.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
Nan iduen amen amen komail, me jo muei jan meakaroj, nan a jota pan kak ai tounpadak.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
Jol me mau, a ma jol jarajan, da me a pan kanomanom mau kida?
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.”
A jolar mau on nan jap, pil jo nan pwel, pwe aramaj kin kajela. Me jalon a mia men ron, I en ron!
