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.
Lyubha limo lya Pumulila a Yeshu bhashinkwenda kulya shalya kumui kwa akalongolele bhamo bha Mapalishayo, bhandunji bhapalinji penepo gubhaalolesheyenje kwa kaje.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Mmujo jabho a Yeshu ashinkupagwa mundu nnwele shitaka.
3 Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Torah scholars and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
A Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje bhaajiganya bha shalia na Mapalishayo, “Ilipinjikwa eu ikapinjikwa kunnamya mundu Lyubha lya Pumulila?”
4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Ikabheje bhanganya bhala gubhatemingene ilili. A Yeshu gubhankamwile nnwele jula gubhannamiye, gubhanneshile aijabhulile.
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?”
Kungai gubhaabhushiye, “Munkumbi gwenunji gani mwanagwe eu ng'ombe jwakwe atumbushilaga nniiko, akananshoye pabha Lyubha lya Pumulila?”
6 They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
Ikabheje bhangakombolanga kwajaangula.
7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
A Yeshu bhakaabhonanjeje bhashemilwenje bhala shibhatendaga kwiagulilanga itengu ya mmujo, gubhaalugulilenje.
8 “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,
“Ibhaga mundu anshemaga kundoa, nnatame pa shitengu sha mmujo, inabha apali juna ashemilwe jwa kupunda mmwe.
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.
Bhanshemilenje bhala shibhajiye kummalanjila, ‘Mwaapiye abha.’ Penepo nkupinga kola oni pa bhandu bhowe nnikwendatama shitengu sha nnyuma.
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 honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
Ikabhe nshemwaga ntame shitengu sha nnyuma, nkupinga nnyene nyumba ajiyaga annugulile, ‘Ambwiga, nnjiye mmujo muno.’ Penepo nkupinga ishimiywa na bhowe bhatemingene pamo na mmwe.
11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
Pabha, jojowe akwiikweya apinga tuluywa, na akwiituluya apinga kweywa.”
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 neighbours, or perhaps they might also return the favour, and pay you back.
Kungai gubhaabhalanjile na bhashemile bhala, “Punkuteleka kalamu ibhe mui eu shilo, nnaashemanje ashaambwiga ajenu eu ashaalongo ajenu eu ashaatami ajenu bhalinginji matajilipe, na bhalabhonji bhana kwiya kunshemanga nibha nnipilwe yumwaatendelenje ila.
13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
Ikabheje, punkuteleka kalamu, mwaashemanje bhaalaga, bhaalemalanga na ashinangwabha na ashinangalole,
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.”
na mmwe shimpate mboka, pabha bhene bhanganyabho bhangalinginji sha kunnipa. A Nnungu shibhampe upo yenu lyubha lishibhayukanje bhandunji bhakwetenje aki.”
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!”
Mundu jumo munkumbi gwa bhatemingene na a Yeshu pa shalya gwashite, “Mbaya jwene mundu shalye kalamu mu Upalume gwa a Nnungu.”
16 But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
A Yeshu gubhannjangwile, “Bhandu bhamo bhashinkuteleka kalamu jikulungwa, gubhaashemilenje bhandunji bhabhagwinji.
17 He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
Lyubha lya kalamu likaishileje gubhantumile ntumishi jwabho akaalugulilanje bhashemilwenje bhala kuti, ‘Nnjiyangane, indu yowe ili tayali.’
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.’
Ikabheje bhowe, gubhatandwibhenje kwiilugula jumo jumo. Jwa ntai gwashite, ‘Njigombola nngunda, kwa nneyo ngunapinjikwa nyende ngaulole shonde bhai, uneshe nyende.’
19 “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
Na juna gwashite, ‘Njigombola ng'ombe ya lima, majela nng'ano, kwa nneyo ngunakwenda kwiilinga, shonde bhai uneshe nyende.’
20 “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’
Na juna gwashite, ‘Njilomba, kwa nneyo ngaika.’
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.’
“Ntumishi jula gwabhujile nigwabhalugulile bhakulungwa bhakwe jene nganijo. Bhayene nyumba bhala gubhatumbele, gubhannugulile ntumishi jwabho, ‘Ujende shangu kumpanda njindo na mmipanda ja pa shilambo pano, ujiyenabhonji nnyumba muno bhalaga, na ashinangwabha, na ashinangalole, na bhaalemalanga.’
22 “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
Kungai ntumishi jula gwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa, innajile ila ndendile, ikabheje mwaatama mwatangu.’
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.
Bhakulungwa bhala gubhannugulile ntumishi jula, ‘Ujende mmipanda njindo na mipanda ja pa shilambo pano ukaashishilishiyanje bhandunji bhajiyangane, nyumba jangu jigumbale.
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.’”
Ngunakummalanjilanga mmowe kuti, jwakwapi nkali jumo munkumbi gwa bhunaashemilenje gwantai bhala shapaye shalya shangu.’”
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,
Penepo, likukute likulungwa lya bhandu gulilongene na a Yeshu. Bhai, gubhaatendebhushilenje bhandunji gubhaalugulilenje,
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.
“Mundu jojowe apinga kubha nkujiganywa jwangu ambinje, kupunda shakutikwaapinga ainagwe na akwabhe na akagwe na ashibhanagwe, na ashaapwakwe na ashaalumbugwe na nkali kupunda shakuti kwiipinga nnyene.
27 Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t be my disciple.
Mundu akaujigale nshalabha gwakwe ningagula akakombola kubha nkujiganywa jwangu.”
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?
Pabha, gani munkumbi gwenunji apingaga kushenga nnala, akatandubha kutama nilola galama jakwe nkupinga amumanye ibhaga akwete mmbiyaya malila?
29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
Inabha atandubhaga kushenga nshingi niilepela kumaliya, bhandunji shibhalolanjebho shibhanng'ekanje,
30 saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
bhalinkutinji. Aju munduju atandwibhe kushenga, ikabheje ashilepela malishiya.
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?
Eu mpalume jwashi apinga kwenda komana na upalume guna, anatandubhe kutama ni niganishiya ibhaga shakombole na ashimanjola bhakwe elupu likumi limo, kwenda komana na a mpalume bhakwete manjola elupu makumi gabhili?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
Abhonaga akakombola, shatume ntenga kupinga ulele bhakanabhe bhandishila.
33 So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
Bhai nneyo peyo, akapagwa nkali jumo munkumbi gwenunji apingabha nkujiganywa jwangu, akaleshe indu yowe yakwete.
34 “Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
“Nnjete ni ja mmbone, ibhaga jikanonye, jitagwe nndi jinonye kabhili?
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.”
Jikapwaa kwa litaka wala kwa tenda mbolela. Ikabheje pakujijaa kwa taliya. Akwete makutujo apilikane!”
