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 have a meal at the home of one of the leaders of the Pharisees where they watched him closely.
2 Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.
A man was there whose arms and legs were swollen.
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 religious law and the Pharisees, “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath, or not?”
4 Inung so tiik. Ame Yesu minghe a fiyaghe, a woro caang.
But they kept quiet. Jesus touched 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?”
Then Jesus said to them, “If your son or your ox happened to fall into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn't you go and pull him out immediately?”
6 Na inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.
They weren't able to give an answer.
7 Kubi na Yesu wa yene alenge na ina yicila nani asa ifere niti lisosin ngongong, abelle tinan tigoldo aworo nani,
So he told a story to the guests, noticing how they'd chosen to sit in places of honor.
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're invited to a wedding reception, don't take the place of honor, because someone more important than you may have been invited,” he began.
9 Asa unite nin fe vat ndah, iba woru fi, 'Naci unit ule kitife,' nin ncing uba kpulu idi so kiti kibene.
“Your host who invited you both will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then in embarrassment you'll have to move to whatever place is left.
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.
Instead, when you're invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he'll tell you, ‘My friend, please move to a better seat.’ Then you'll be honored before all the guests sitting with you.
11 Bara vat nlenge na atoltuno liti me iba ghantingh, ame ulenge na aghantina liti me iba toltunghe.”
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves 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 he said to the man who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don't invite your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your rich neighbors, for they may invite you back, and then you'd be repaid.
13 Asa ubasu ubuki yicila akimon, agurgu aturri nin naduu ana salin nyenju kiti,
Instead, when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, 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, for they have nothing to repay you with, and you'll be rewarded at the resurrection of the good.”
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 them eating at the table with Jesus heard this, he said to Jesus, “How wonderful it will be for those who feast in the kingdom of God!”
16 Ame Yesu woro ghe, “Umon unit wa dinin nbuki udia, ayicila anit gbardang.
“Once there was a man who prepared a great banquet, and invited many guests,” Jesus replied.
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 to eat he sent his servant out to tell everyone who had been invited, ‘Come, because the banquet's 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 they all started to make excuses. The first said, ‘I've just bought a field and I have to go and 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've just bought five pairs of oxen and have to go and try them out. Please excuse me.’ Still another said,
20 Umon unit woro ghe, 'Meng nasu ilugma ipese, bara nani na nbase udake ba.'
‘I've just got married, so I can't 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 told his master what they'd said. The home-owner became angry and told his servant, ‘Quickly, go out into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 Unan katuwa woro, 'Cikilari, ile imon na ubelle nsu inin, har nene kiti duku, sa unit.
Then the servant said, ‘Master, I did what you told me, but there are still empty places.’
23 Cikilare belle unan katuwa me, 'Nuzu udo tibau tididia ukpeshilu nani idak, bara kilari nighe nan kullo.
So the master told the servant, ‘Go out on the country roads and lanes, and make people come—I want my house to be full.
24 Bara meng nbellin munu, na umon nanya nalele na iwa burun uyicilu nani dudu imonli nighe ba.'”
I tell you, not a single one of those people I invited will get a taste of my banquet.’”
25 Nene ligozin na nit wa din cin nin ghe, a girtino a woro nani,
A large crowd was accompanying Jesus. He turned to them and said,
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 you want to follow me but you don't hate your father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters—even your own life—you can't be my disciple.
27 vat inle na a yira kuca nkul nye a dufini ba na awa sa asu gono katwa nin ba.
If you don't carry your cross and follow me, you can't 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?
If you planned to build a tower, wouldn't you first work out how much it would cost, and see if you had enough money 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 after laying the foundation you weren't able to finish it, everyone who saw it would laugh at you, saying,
30 a beling ule unite na cizin ukee kilari na amala ba.
‘Look at him: he started building but he couldn't finish it.’
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?
What king goes to war with another king without first sitting down with his advisors to work out whether he and his ten thousand can defeat the one marching against him with twenty thousand?
32 Andi na nani ba, aleli anang likume nwadi piit, a taa umong adi foo acara bara iso mang.
If he can't, he'll send representatives to ask for peace while the other king is still a long way off.
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 every one of you who doesn't give up everything can't be my disciple.
34 Nto caun, bara na misali mamas, mi ba kuru me lawa ntwe tutungha?
Salt is good, but if it loses its taste, how can you make it salty again?
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's no good for the soil or for fertilizer—you just toss it out. Whoever has ears, then listen!”
