Luka 14
1 Uso liyiri namong Asabbath, kube ado nanya kilari nmon udia Nafarsayawa alii imonlii, iwadi ncara me chochot.
One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.
2 Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.
Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.
3 Yesu tirino anan nyiru nduka nanya Nayahudawa, nin na Farsayawa, “Iyinna ishin nin nit liyiri Nasabbath, sa babu?”
So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
4 Inung so tiik. Ame Yesu minghe a fiyaghe, a woro caang.
But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.
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?”
And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
6 Na inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.
And they were unable to answer these questions.
7 Kubi na Yesu wa yene alenge na ina yicila nani asa ifere niti lisosin ngongong, abelle tinan tigoldo aworo nani,
When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:
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 to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.
9 Asa unite nin fe vat ndah, iba woru fi, 'Naci unit ule kitife,' nin ncing uba kpulu idi so kiti kibene.
Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last 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 last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone 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 the one who 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.
Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
13 Asa ubasu ubuki yicila akimon, agurgu aturri nin naduu ana salin nyenju kiti,
But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and 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. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at 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 reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
16 Ame Yesu woro ghe, “Umon unit wa dinin nbuki udia, ayicila anit gbardang.
But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
17 Na imonli nyini, ayicila anan katuwa kilari me, ato nani ido idi yicila alenge na ana bellin nani, 'Idak, bara ko yang inyini.'
When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
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.'
But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’
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 am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’
20 Umon unit woro ghe, 'Meng nasu ilugma ipese, bara nani na nbase udake ba.'
Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot 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.'
The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’
22 Unan katuwa woro, 'Cikilari, ile imon na ubelle nsu inin, har nene kiti duku, sa unit.
‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 Cikilare belle unan katuwa me, 'Nuzu udo tibau tididia ukpeshilu nani idak, bara kilari nighe nan kullo.
So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.
24 Bara meng nbellin munu, na umon nanya nalele na iwa burun uyicilu nani dudu imonli nighe ba.'”
For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
25 Nene ligozin na nit wa din cin nin ghe, a girtino a woro nani,
Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus, and 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 does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.
27 vat inle na a yira kuca nkul nye a dufini ba na awa sa asu gono katwa nin ba.
And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot 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?
Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?
29 Ana nani ba, a wa cizin lituine na a mala ba, vat nle na a yene a ba sisughe,
Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
30 a beling ule unite na cizin ukee kilari na amala ba.
saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
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 on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Andi na nani ba, aleli anang likume nwadi piit, a taa umong adi foo acara bara iso mang.
And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms 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.
In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
34 Nto caun, bara na misali mamas, mi ba kuru me lawa ntwe tutungha?
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?
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, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
